EDITOR ‌L AST WEEKEND, MY HUSBAND AND I PACKED UP OUR LITTLE guy and headed south, where we camped at a local stable. As the sun set and our campfire’s brilliance grew with every darkening moment, I couldn’t help soaking up the true beauty surrounding us. Not only was the sunset spectacular on that particular evening, but also there’s something appealing about being in the middle of nowhere – nothing to disturb the silence save the occasional crack of timber or cricket in the distance.

As I read through this week’s Abode feature, starting on page 25, it brought me directly back to that place. In this particular feature, LN contributing writer Brittany Nay shares the story of NN MADE, an eco-friendly furniture company that designs long-lasting, locally sourced hardwood pieces for any interior, or even exterior, space in your abode. NN MADE craftsman and designer Nikk Azmanov says he tries to do little to the wood he sources, allowing it to speak for itself, noting that, “Nature always is the best designer.” We hope that you enjoy this story, and that it inspires you to embrace the beauty of nature in your everyday life, too.

Until next time,

Alecia Humphreys

Photos and story by Diane Anderson

he eighth annual Sing for Siteman gala recently took place at John Burroughs School. A small group of St. Louisans launched the event in 2010 to engage young artists in the fight against cancer.

Sing for Siteman was founded by Carol Wong, internationally renowned pianist, who lost her father to cancer. This year’s gala featured Wong accompanying outstanding artists from across North America, performing a wide range of musical selections to honor cancer patients and benefit research at the Siteman Cancer Center. The artists were Susannah Biller, Michael Brandenburg, Deanna Breiwick, Tobias Greenhalgh, Cecelia Hall, Theo Hoffman, Christopher Magiera and Laura Wilde. Co-chairing the evening event were Kim Eberlein and Susan and Jack Musgrave.

Gwendolyn Packnett served as host.

he Frank Lloyd Wright House in Ebsworth Park recently celebrated the 150th birthday of famed American architect, interior designer, writer and educator Frank Lloyd Wright with Architecture on Wheels at that Kirkwood landmark. An avid auto collector and enthusiast, Wright owned more than 80 cars in his lifetime.

Architecture on Wheels featured an exhibit of classic autos provided courtesy of the Spirit of St. Louis Region Classic Car Club of America. Guests toured the house, which Wright designed for Ruth and Russell Kraus, and enjoyed lively music and party fare, including gelato and cake. Co-chairing the event were Bill and Joanne Fogarty.

Photos and story by Bryan Schraier

ollege Bound had much to celebrate at its annual Cap and Gown Ball, held this year at St. Louis Union Station. Beyond continuing its 100 percent high school graduation and college matriculation rates, its students boast a college graduation rate five times that of their low-income peers. This year’s event featured success stories, a student meet-and-greet, a program and live music. A crowd of 600 sought to match or surpass last year’s record-setting $800,000. The money raised helps provide academic and life supports to promising students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve bachelor’s degrees and successful careers, often as the first in their families to do so.

CHURCHILL LEADERSHIP MEDAL PRESENTATION CEREMONY Photos by Rebecca Barr

D

r. Benjamin Ola. Akande, the president of Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, recently presented the Churchill Leadership Medal to John C. Danforth during a dinner to benefit the National Churchill Museum at the college. That medal, the museum’s highest honor, recognizes individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership. The event took place at Town and Country’s Bellerive Country Club. Danforth – an ordained Episcopal priest, former three-time U.S. Senator from Missouri and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations – currently serves as a partner at Dowd Bennett LLP in St. Louis. In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed him as a special envoy for peace in Sudan, where he worked to broker an agreement that ultimately ended that country’s 20-year civil war in 2005. Past recipients of the National Churchill Museum medal include Dr. William H. Danforth, chancellor emeritus of Washington University in St. Louis; broadcast journalist Walter Cronkite; John W. Bachmann, retired CEO of Edward Jones; Sir John Major, a former British prime minister; and Stephen F. Brauer, a former U.S. ambassador to Belgium.

LANDSCAPE

A Celestial Garden

‌P

lants have been named after the sun and the moon – or events related to those celestial bodies – since the dawn of time.

As an example, take the scientific designation for the common sunflower: Helianthus, based on the Greek words for sun, helios, and flower, anthos. As another example, consider the money plant, Lunaria, which resembles the silvery circle of the full moon, luna.

Similarly, plant breeders seem fascinated by celestial events. Once they start a name chain, they often put related names into a series. Some plant groups simply lend themselves to the heavens with evocative, variegated foliage forms. Hosta, also known as ‘Eclipse,’ is a sieboldiana cultivar with large, ribbed blue-green leaves with golden yellow edges. Other hosta selections include ‘Solar Power,’ ‘Solar Flare,’ ‘Little Sunspot,’ ‘Twilight’ and ‘Lunar Eclipse’ – all variations on a theme. Heucherella, hybrids of Heuchera and Tiarella, follow suit, with ‘Solar Eclipse,’ ‘Sunspot,’ ‘Day-Glow Pink,’ ‘Alabama Sunrise,’ ‘Sunrise Falls’ and ‘Solar Power’ as names to describe their foliage.

When the coming eclipse darkens the land, consider a simple ‘Twilight’ petunia with whitestreaked purple blooms or the beautiful lavender, blue and white hydrangeas listed by Michael Dirr.

The same name applies to pink evening primroses, standard roses, chrysanthemum and an amazing pepper that changes color like the sunset, its light green pods ripening through yellow, blushing rose, bright red and, finally, dark purple. Add to that crepuscular list a purple-and-white gladiolus, a veronica and a lavender-pink crape myrtle all with the same name. The dark side includes a nearly black-red hibiscus and a purple-black Heuchera with soft silver veins, while the light side boasts a dwarf nandina of nearly pure white suffused with rose.

After these, the names grow even more interesting, with ‘Prairie Twilight’ penstemon, ‘Twilight Prairie Blues’ false indigo, ‘Celestial Twilight’ pansy and ‘Twilight Zone’ little bluestem grass. A white dahlia called ‘Twilight Time’ sports soft lavender petal tips in a gentle shading. Hot sunset hues adorn Echinacea ‘Big Sky Twilight’ and Crocosmia ‘Twilight Fairy Crimson.’ The daylilies check in with two dynamically different cultivars – softly rose and green-shaded ‘Silky Twilight’ and the shockingly toothy Larry’s ‘Twilight Bite.’

Eclipse appears to be a favorite name among many breeders, giving us a vast range of plants – from a really dark-purple eggplant, a crimson-maroon tulip and a chocolate cosmos to large-flowered and fragrant pink Spencer sweet peas and a salmon-variegated geranium. Embellish that name to ‘Delta Eclipse’ for a lavender crape myrtle with dark mahogany foliage and ‘Solar Eclipse’ for a redbud with dramatic greenbordered golden yellow leaves.

24 August 18, 2017 | LadueNews.com

‘Twilight Bite’

‘Cosmic Eclipse’ heritage tomatoes, meanwhile, sport dark green and black stripes, and ‘Total Eclipse’ pattypan squash has a deep green skin with little starlike flecks of white on a scaloppini-type fruit.

‘Total Eclipse’ also names a daylily with rich burgundy petals around a striking citron-green throat.

The lunar side of the equation shines with a ‘Moonlight Eclipse’ petunia, with gorgeous blue flowers, as well as cream and lime-green edgings.

The Baptisia ‘Lunar Eclipse’ features bluebonnetlike coloring starting with white flower buds on top, shading through cream and light lemon, and darkening to lavender and violet toward the base of the inflorescence. ‘Evening Eclipse’ agapanthus sports deep purple flowers in place of the normal blue ones.

Among my own longtime favorites, the moonflower – the night-blooming pure-white morning glory sister – vines up my wall and gives such delight as buds swirl open in the early moonlight.

NN Made takes an eco-friendly and artistic approach to handcrafted indoor and outdoor furniture.

T

he St. Louis-based eco-friendly furniture company NN MADE is bringing the beauty of the outdoors into your home. More specifically, NN MADE custom designs and handcrafts long-lasting, locally sourced hardwood pieces that flow seamlessly through your abode, from living, dining and bedroom furniture to patio tables and outdoor sofa sectionals.

“Nature always is the best designer,” says NN MADE designer and craftsman Nikk Azmanov. “With each piece, I try to change the wood as little as possible. I take what nature has given and find the appropriate project and person for it.”

Three years ago, Azmanov launched NN MADE with his wife, Nicole – hence the business name echoing their first initials. Azmanov custom designs and hand makes each piece, while his wife, an environmental consultant, ensures every material he uses is sustainable and eco-friendly, from locally sourced wood to nontoxic, low-VOC (volatile organic compound) finishes. “We make things that won’t harm people and the Nikk and Nicole azmanov environment and [that] promote clean air quality,” Azmanov says. “Our philosophy is, if there’s a better way to do it, it’s our responsibility to use it.”

Azmanov, whose education is rooted in art – from fine art as a child to graphic design as an adult – is a self-taught furniture maker, practicing woodworking for the past six years to hone his skills. “Interior design is my biggest passion in the design world, and I enjoy working with my hands, so building furniture was the best way to play to my strengths,” he says.

NN MADE’s custom furniture-making process all starts with the wood. “We strive to understand the wood from the beginning, from the tree in the forest – understand its properties and how it grows, and how it’s going to behave as furniture in your house,” Azmanov says. The company uses hardwoods, namely walnut, white oak, maple, cherry and elm, from local urban log recyclers who have reclaimed trees that have fallen during storms or been felled for other reasons.

The sustainable business offers an outdoor furniture line and two indoor furniture collections, with another indoor collection in the works. Heartland, a rustic line, features sturdy, homey farmhouse-inspired dining tables,

coffee tables, bed frames and patio tables. Durven is a modern, minimalist collection with solid, sleek dining sets, coffee tables and bed frames. And the outdoor line features lounge chairs and sofa sectionals for exterior living spaces.

The company’s new line, to be launched within the next year, will feature live-edge wood and will include wood-slab dining tables and coffee tables with stainless steel legs and glass inserts.

Whereas many designers have one distinct style, Azmanov prefers to create both rustic and modern pieces – and combinations of the two – that will be fashionable and functional in today’s homes and also last for generations.

“We live in such a diverse city, with so many different kinds of people and architecture – and different tastes, accordingly,” he says, noting that clients who reside in the city often opt for NN MADE’s modern Durven pieces, while those who live in the county prefer the rustic Heartland line. “The farmhouse dining tables are the most popular,” he says, adding that some of the pieces have been made from local reclaimed barnwood.

When clients order furniture from NN MADE, it’s designed and handcrafted to order, Azmanov says. During a consultation, he takes into account the vibe of the client’s home and incorporates that into each piece. “We’re building furniture for people, so they’re at the center of it,” he says. “I keep them on my mind and show them photos throughout the design-and-build process to make sure they will be happy with their one-of-a-kind piece.”

Orders can be placed on the company’s website. Smaller pieces take from two weeks to a month to make, while larger furniture can take up to two months to complete.

The business has also handcrafted custom commercial projects, including pieces for Reeds American Table in Maplewood. Azmanov designed and built the restaurant’s second-floor wine room, as well as the wooden bar seating area lining the establishment’s front window.

Although the majority of NN MADE’s work is residential, Azmanov loves not knowing what type of order is going to come in next as he strives to build the perfect piece for every client and project. “I like playing around with my own designs and seeing what new client orders will bring,” he says. “It keeps me on my toes.”

By Amanda Dahl

im Jones has spent the last decade as an active Realtor – and the lessons she has learned along the way have proven invaluable. “Business typically is facts and figures,” she says, having come from a background in business-to-business sales, retail purchasing and merchandising. “In this industry, there is a lot of emotion involved. Find a knowledgeable agent whom you are comfortable with and know they genuinely have your best interests at heart.”

Jones’ background may have taught her the importance of understanding the numbers, but she places the most importance on connecting with clients.

“Any competent agent can access the same reports and perform the same marketing. The process of buying or selling a home is a true team effort,” she advises.

“Ensure you find the right fit for your team upfront. It will save you headaches and stress down the road.”

Her approach is always “client first,” and Jones’ efforts show in her proven track record. “To be successful in this industry long term takes an immense amount of dedication and time,” she shares. “I love what I do and am very hands-on. I also pride myself on being an involved parent and supportive wife. I am learning that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, and sometimes you can’t accomplish it all alone. I am fortunate to have an amazing village, [which gives me] a bit of that elusive work-life balance.”

Jones recognizes the toll it takes on clients to sell or find the place they call “home” – and she cherishes the opportunity to aid them throughout the process.

“I love the opportunity to provide a valuable service,

Back to School!

ith summer nearing its end, students soon will return to school routines, making it all the more important for them to adopt a quick, easy makeup routine – say, one that takes less than 10 minutes, to allow hitting the snooze button a time or two in the morning.

As a result, ladies, when you stay up until the wee hours to write papers and finish other projects, follow these seven steps to at least appear to have logged more precious hours of sleep: Step 1: Once you’ve washed and moisturized your face, make your skin look healthy and evenly covered by using a BB (blemish balm) cream, a much lighter touch than a foundation that you can easily apply with your fingers.

Step 2: After applying the BB cream, add concealer under your eyes and to any imperfections you want covered. Concealer’s just the thing for looking wide awake even if you actually enjoyed way too little sleep.

Step 3: Powder your face – those telltale under-eye areas in specific and everything else in general – to set your makeup. Doing this in the morning should help you avoid needing makeup touch-ups later. (This step, by the way, really benefits oily skin.)

Step 4: Add color and life to your face by dusting bronzer on your cheekbones, and apply blush to the apples of your cheeks.

Step 5: With your ring finger, apply a light-colored shimmery eye shadow to your lids. Doing so will make your eyes look larger – and help you look more awake than you really may be.

Step 6: Skip eyeliner and just apply a coat or two of mascara to your lashes.

Step 7: Complete the look by adding ChapStick or a tinted lip balm.

This supersimple everyday routine – again, less than a 10-minute procedure – should benefit even those who dislike wearing makeup. It’s simple and perfect not only for scholastic purposes but also for presentations, interviews, and professional meetings or activities.

And despite the playful value of experimenting with makeup, always remember that true beauty comes from within!

Rick

I

By Paul Brown

’m not too surprised when Rick Bagy says to me, “I don’t find my story all that interesting.”

That’s what people like Bagy – the kind of people who have used good old-fashioned hard work and common sense to succeed – say. But people from the North Side of St. Louis don’t get to be bank presidents without interesting stories.

And Bagy has been president of Central Bank of St. Louis for nearly 25 years.

“I got my last promotion in 1993, and when I get fired from this job, I’ll be done,” Bagy says with a laugh while he prepares for his next meeting.

I feel a special kinship for Bagy. My father, James E. Brown, was one of his mentors when Bagy first got into the banking business, with Mercantile Bank in 1976. It just so happens that my dad was also one of those rare birds from the North Side who made it to a bank president’s office. He was Bagy’s boss at the old Merc, and I don’t think Dad thought his own story was all that interesting, either.

Bagy says both he and my dad preached the value of hard work. “If you work an hour or two longer than your peers, then you’re going to be smarter than them,” he tells me. “And I know that’s different than today. With millennials, being a parent is No. 1 – but the philosophy back then was, if you put your job first, then your family will be in good shape.”

Bagy continues: “I know that doesn’t sound good today, but that’s the way we lived growing up. The guys who were successful worked harder and longer.”

Bagy is the first to admit he never expected to be the president of a bank. Two of his first jobs were as a union construction laborer pouring concrete and as a hod carrier.

(A hod carrier is a worker who carries a load of bricks on his shoulder and delivers them to bricklayers who are usually high above on scaffolding).

Bagy says that wasn’t his favorite job. “I’m afraid of heights,” he confesses, “so I would be climbing ladders with about two bricks on the thing, and the bricklayers were laughing and gave me a lot of grief. I wasn’t too good at that, hod carrying.”

Before his days on construction job sites, Bagy grew up in Bellefontaine Neighbors, far from the country clubs of St. Louis. He went to Riverview public schools until the sixth grade, when his dad sent him to Chaminade, but after his freshman year, he convinced his parents to let him return to Riverview to finish high school.

“I wanted to go to Riverview to play football on a winning team,” he recalls.

“Chaminade didn’t have good football teams.” I tell him he’s probably just ticked off the Chaminade folks, but he waves me off with a grin.

His hard work at Riverview earned him a scholarship to Washington University, where he graduated with a master’s degree in accounting and finance, working in his spare time as a car salesman at Sheldon Auto Sales in Pagedale.

“The fella I worked for was named Sheldon Solomon,” Bagy says with a mischievous grin. “I learned more from him about business than all my time at Washington University, undergrad or graduate school. He was an entrepreneur and a businessman.” I tell Bagy he’s probably just ticked off Wash U. He waves me off again.

Bagy says it was that experience, working for Solomon, that made him decide on a career in banking. “I went into banking because it was an area of high ethics,” he continues. “I learned a lot from that car dealer that I never wanted to duplicate. At that age, I wanted to do something that was strictly aboveboard.”

He went to work at Mercantile when my dad was president of Mercantile Bancorporation, and I’m glad to say Dad saw great things in the kid from the North Side who wasn’t born a blue blood. Bagy became a senior vice president at Merc, which at the time was one of the largest bank companies in the Midwest.

If you work an hour or two longer than your peers, then you’re going to be smarter than them.

- RICK BAGY But after Mercantile was bought out, Bagy teamed up with the renowned Cook banking family of Jefferson City and ended up in the president’s office at Central Bank, where he’s been ever since.

I’m guessing my late dad wouldn’t be surprised at all to see what hard work and determination did for his young protégé. And I’m thinking Dad probably found Rick Bagy’s story just as interesting as I do.

Ranking Our Students

‌E

arlier this summer, the Mehlville School District announced it was ending the infamous class ranking system. However, with many disgruntled stakeholders, school officials are now reconsidering this change.

Nationally, a College Board study found that student GPAs are rising, while standardized test scores, such as the SAT, are declining. No matter what one’s view, the Mehlville school issue, combined with the College Board study, does make one wonder if class rankings legitimately evaluate today’s students. In the most traditional sense, grades serve to quantitatively compare students with one another to see who has the highest GPA – and because “high performers” can win prestigious awards and scholarships, big benefits can accompany being at the top.

Many savvy teens, though, are learning to work the system to inflate their grades, ultimately earning a top-10 spot. Such status-seeking students sometimes take “easier” weighted classes while avoiding more challenging Advanced Placement, or AP, courses. Some also postpone unweighted requirements until the end of their senior year, thereby inflating their rank when

completing college applications earlier than that.

According to a National Association for College Admission Counseling survey of admission officers, many factors beyond rank influence admission to prestigious schools, the most significant being the number of AP and International Baccalaureate classes a student successfully completes. Teens who enroll in a challenging curriculum are more desirable to top-tier colleges than students who engage in less demanding coursework.

That’s not to say that GPA lacks importance; grades do count. Top colleges consider scores, but also want well-rounded students who participate in extracurricular activities, engage in leadership opportunities and continually seek growth-promoting challenges. In addition, the college essay and school visit/interview can be important considerations when sending acceptance letters. Admission depends on a variety of factors beyond the number of A’s a student earns.

Although many colleges no longer emphasize rank as an admission criterion, determining who has the highest GPA does provide benefits. It forms a straightforward way to select the class valedictorian

By Dr. Russell Hyken

and salutatorian, for instance. Also, many state-funded colleges guarantee acceptance to a certain percentage of top achievers from each high school. Last but not least, a teen with a good class rank will have less emphasis placed on standardized test scores.

As a result, parents, no matter what your opinion, understand how your child’s school operates. Ask if it reports class ranks to colleges, learn how it calculates GPA and determine which courses are weighted.

Avoid surprises and future disappointments by understanding the system.

Finally, discuss the pros and cons of course selection with your child. How much class rank and GPA dictates a student’s chosen courses remains a personal decision.

Dropping photography in favor of AP English might improve his or her GPA – but could it also mean sacrificing a passion?

Ferrari TesT Drive

FIxATIOn Story and photos by Ryan Scott

Randy Gori, car collector and vice president of the Ferrari Club of America – Missouri & Southern Illinois chapter, has assembled an impressive fleet of Ferraris at his Edwardsville home.

48

AUGUsT 18, 2017 | LadueNews.com

C

ars – especially beautiful, fast cars – have always appealed to collectors. It’s the engineering and precision, the visual stimulation, the quest for constant endorphin release and feelings of freedom from an open road. And although some die-hard American iron fans might disagree, one brand through the decades has inspired heavier panting than any other: Ferrari.

Ferrari is as much an idea as it is a tangible thing.

Founder Enzo Ferrari always saw the building and sale of road-going cars as a means of funding motorsports pursuits. From the late 1920s, Scuderia Ferrari (Ferrari’s official racing division) has been singularly focused on racing – and winning. And win it has; it’s easily the most successful and celebrated team in Formula One. Ferrari’s road-going cars, beginning in 1947 with the 125 S, have been equally the result of passion. This marriage of performance and design has made Ferrari’s creations de facto teenage-boy wall-poster material.

One example of how Ferrari has succeeded at igniting

a fire inside teens, which grows into an inextinguishable flame by adulthood, can be found in Randy Gori of Edwardsville, Illinois. Gori, who is now vice president of the Ferrari Club of America – Missouri & Southern Illinois chapter, spent countless hours reading car magazines and adorning his walls with images of Italy’s finest, all while thinking, “Someday.” It was always Ferrari that spoke to his soul, and in 1994, while working three jobs in order to make payments, Gori purchased his first – a 1980 308 GTSi. Although no longer considered fast by today’s standards, the 308 was one of the few true sports cars available during the ’70s, an era automotive enthusiasts think back on with scorn. For many, the 308 kept that fire alive. And with it being the wheels of Tom Selleck’s Magnum, P.I. on TV, it earned an iconic, almost mythical status.

“When I was a kid, my parents used to take me to work at my grandparents’ nursery on Manchester Road in St. Louis,” Gori says. “As an incentive, they would drive me by Brentwood Volvo-Ferrari on the way home.

I’ve liked and wanted a Ferrari since I was 5.”

For many years, the 308 was the only prancing stallion in Gori’s garage. Like most people, he prioritized graduating college, beginning a career, getting married and starting a family. The fire might have been simmering, but it certainly wasn’t extinguished. With the success of his legal practice, Gori purchased his 1972 Daytona 365 GTB/4 and 1997 355 Spider in 2005.

Gori says he really began collecting cars in 2009.

During my visit to his home in Edwardsville, we drove his 2017 F12 TdF and the 2017 488 Spider, both absolute marvels of design and engineering.

The TdF is propelled by a front-mounted, normally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 that produces 769 horsepower up to a wailing 8,900-rpm redline. A track-focused variant of the F12, the TdF is full of hypertech such as active aero pieces, rear-wheel steering and carbon bits everywhere. This is a car that will reach 60 mph in under 3 seconds, 125 mph in under 8 and keep going to well beyond 200. There are even rpm and speed readouts on the passenger side of the dash so your terrified guest can understand this level of insanity.

LadueNews.com | AUGUsT 18, 2017

49

With the traction control aids turned off, Chris Harris of Top Gear called the TdF “comfortably the most ridiculous Ferrari I’ve driven.” But with traction control engaged, I found it exhilarating and still easily drivable, albeit at nowhere near its limit.

When Ferrari says a car is track-focused, however, the company means it. The TdF feels taut, like the rear legs of a cat stalking a field mouse. In the cabin, there’s an audible whine from the differential, computer-controlled gear shifts from the Formula One style box, felt in your fingertips, and the symphony of that glorious V12 comes through loud and clear. This is a car that makes the driver feel like a jet pilot or like being inside a transforming robot from another galaxy. “Special” doesn’t begin to capture its essence.

“It’s a little more raw,” Gori says of the TdF. “It can give you a rush by stomping on the pedal and having the rear end start going sideways – it makes you keep it in control.”

Trading off to the 488 Spider, its civility is evident. But it’s an ease that belies its additional savage capability. With 661 horsepower and the capacity to dispatch a quarter of a mile in 10.6 seconds, new drivers handle the gas pedal with the delicacy of grandma’s Swarovski crystal. But such

white-glove treatment isn’t necessary – the Spider 488 doesn’t bite. Combine this approachability with soft Nappa leather, Bluetooth connectivity, premium sound and a trick retractable hardtop, and the 488 may be the finest all-around performance car available today. Gori says it’s also his wife’s favorite, which is quite understandable, given how nearly dead-center bullseye it is toward perfection.

Gori’s favorite, however, is his 2003 Enzo, of which he says: “The Enzo is fast, beautiful, rare, precise and makes a novice like me feel like a good driver. Yet you know it has the capability to perform at levels I can never dream of achieving.”

Gori isn’t done adding to his collection, and there were many more in his stable (a whopping total of 16 Ferraris) I hope to experience in the future.

Another visit is surely in order. Fear of rolling up the odometer isn’t something Gori suffers from; he says all of his Ferraris get driven as much as possible. And as the leader of the Ferrari Club of America – Missouri & Southern Illinois chapter, he’s easy to find out on local roads enjoying the fruits of his success.

entertainment like live R&B and jazz on Saturdays.

Apart from a few aesthetic additions, the space maintains a feel similar to that of its predecessor, The Rustic Goat.

“I didn’t want this to be a traditional stuffy, runof-the-mill restaurant,” Franklin says. “I wanted it to be a little bit hip and somewhat social savvy – a contemporary vibe but comfortable.”

Arthur Ramsey – who goes by “Chef Moses” – heads up Patois’ kitchen, cooking dishes such as the restaurant’s signature jerk-chicken platter served with fries or cabbage. Jerk chicken is also available in tacos or atop a salad. Another highlight is fried chicken inspired by Harold’s Chicken Shack in Chicago,

seasoned with salt, pepper and mild sauce.

Additional offerings include Buffalo-battered shrimp, chicken wings, a wedge salad, a New York-style flatbread and a Philly cheesesteak flatbread with steak, grilled peppers, onions and mushrooms. Sides include cabbage, candied yams and mac ’n’ cheese.

Behind the bar, general manager Crystal Burkley developed a list of more than a dozen fruit-tinged cocktails. Guest can choose from such options as rum punch or the Candyland with red berry Cîroc vodka, Midori liqueur, peach schnapps, pineapple juice, lemonade and grenadine. Another selection, the Jamaican Cowboy, comes with coconut tequila, pineapple juice, peach, raspberry, sweet-and-sour mix

Library Life Lessons

L

ibrary visits can be magic for kids and adults alike. Where else can you go, after all, for such fun, facts and fantasy?

In that light, parents, have you ever picked a book you simply knew your child would enjoy, only to earn a “meh”? You may have goofed in choosing something that pleased your own sensibilities, not his or hers. To avoid making that mistake, let your child browse on his or her own, as a potential first foray into guided independence.

Library visits let kids learn important lessons about making choices – and what kid doesn’t want to feel in control? They also teach lessons in trust (checking out books, caring for them and returning them on time), in respect and appropriate behavior (observing rules so everyone enjoys library time and books go undamaged) and in sharing and patience (putting currently unavailable books on hold and waiting for them).

If regular library visits don’t fit your schedule, though, introduce the idea through children’s books like Lola at the Library by Anna McQuinn and illustrator Rosalind Beardshaw (whose

work looks especially vibrant and inviting, with all scenes shown from a child’s perspective).

McQuinn and Beardshaw’s book delightfully depicts the titular toddler’s excitement over a weekly trip to the library with her mom. In it, Lola prepares for the trip by filling her backpack with her library card and books to return, before meeting other kids and families who are visiting the library for story time. Lola’s trip culminates in a post-library stop at the coffee shop for a special treat.

Otherwise, for a child with a contrary streak, try Beatrice Doesn’t Want To by Laura Numeroff and illustrator Lynn Munsinger.

Beatrice, a persnickety pup, professes to dislike books, reading and the library. Unfortunately for her, Beatrice’s brother, Henry, is babysitting her – and he needs to research a school project at the library. So Beatrice spends most of her time there annoying Henry as he tries to study.

On their third tandem visit, though, Henry takes Beatrice to story time, where

By Sheila Oliveri she meets other kids and finds herself absorbed in a book read enticingly by a librarian. When it comes time to leave, Beatrice has become so engaged in perusing the book independently that Henry has to drag her from the library.

Numeroff captures Beatrice’s petulance perfectly – so much so, in fact, that parents and even older children may well relate to Henry’s dilemma of dealing with a temperamental tot. Also, Munsinger’s illustrations convey the critter-kid characters’ personalities in warm, colorful and often funny ways.

As a result, children should enjoy poring over the pictures in Beatrice Doesn’t Want To, noticing the many details that invite repeated explorations of the story, and all kids who have enjoyed being read to should recall the pleasures of discovering exciting new stories that touch their hearts.

Eternity’s

Golden Boy

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photos courtesy of the Saint Louis Science Center

An ongoing Saint Louis Science Center exhibition should enthrall everyone with mummy issues – no ifs, ands or Tuts about it!

A

“

t the end of the Amarna Period, the child Tutankhamun accedes to the throne, and Egypt returns to its traditional religion,” states a plaque on the azure third panel of a timeline now on display inside the Saint Louis Science Center.

“After Tutankhamun’s early death, his successors Ay and Horemheb carry on the reforms.”

Now, under other circumstances, that two-sentence paragraph could’ve defined an embarrassingly brief exhibition at the local landmark. Instead, “The Discovery of King Tut,” the exhibition in question, sprawls through a truly pharaonic area there – 12,000 square feet, according to a news release – and features replicas of more than 1,000 antiquities, at least one of which looms as large as a modern minivan.

“The Discovery of King Tut,” which opened on May 27, runs through next Jan. 7 and focuses on Tutankhamun, the pharaoh who ruled, roughly, from the age of 8 to 18 (give or take, from 1332 to 1323 B.C.), during the ancient Egyptian era dubbed the New Kingdom.

Following a trend increasingly prevalent in “living museums” and similar institutions, the exhibition, at its entrance, incorporates an individual audio device that resembles a keypad-controlled digital thermometer.

For the casual Egyptologist, moreover, that Bluetoothy docent may well inflict the proverbial short, sharp shock almost at once. More specifically, despite the standard pronunciation of “King Tut” – with the second word, the truncation, rhyming with but – the first syllable of the full form of the boy pharaoh’s name actually rhymes with boot. Whodathunkit?

Similarly, a spot of research suggests that Tutankhamun hasn’t always enjoyed the stellar media profile he nowadays boasts, which, as “The Discovery of King Tut” establishes, involves ancient curses, mummies, sarcophagi, sacred cobras and strange deities like canid-headed Anubis, the Egyptian overlord of the underworld.

That is, Our Oriental Heritage, the first volume of Will (and, later, Ariel) Durant’s de rigueur 11-volume Story of Civilization series, mentions the boy pharaoh a mere four times. The fourth and only substantive mention states with offhand causticity that Tutankhamun “reigned without distinction; the world would hardly have heard of him had not unprecedented treasures been found in his grave.”

All things considered, then, the kid’s done all right. Still, probably for a boffo finish, the treasures Durant cites – well, stunning simulacra of them, anyway – remain generally underrepresented till the third and last of the stages in the center’s exhibition.

The first stage, the timeline room, adroitly lays the foundations of British artist-turned-archaeologist Howard Carter’s search for Tutankhamun’s final resting place in Upper Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, on the west bank of the Nile opposite the city of Luxor (previously Thebes).

After five-plus years of fruitless searching – just as financing for his efforts was tightening from the British Lord Carnarvon (formally “George Edward Stanhope Molyneux Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon”) – Carter at last discovered the first

steps to the entrance to that resting place.

That discovery came on Nov. 4, 1922, as the exhibition’s timeline notes. Prior to that, although it had suffered some preliminary but minor disturbances from tomb robbers, the burial chamber had lain undisturbed for more than three millennia.

According to the exhibition’s timeline, the grandeur and exotic allure of Carter’s discovery sparked a firestorm of popular attention through the years and even the decades.

In the 1920s, in particular, Tutmania (to coin a phrase) in the form of the “style of the Nile” swept film

and the other visual arts, having a particular impact on the original practitioners of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

Thereafter, of course, a global tour of Tutankhamun’s treasures in the ’70s fired a resurgence of that mania, especially in the U.S. As the second stage of the center’s exhibition – mostly an entr’acte, in all frankness – it incorporates a video lasting perhaps 10 minutes. The video unfolds in a small, makeshift cinema at the center and involves not only brief dramatizations of Carter’s life and life’s work but also vintage footage of him and Lord Carnarvon.

Then comes the exhibition’s third stage, a component

both figuratively and literally monumental. In it, visitors wend through multiple black-partitioned chambers in a properly funereal space to explore the arcana of Tutankhamun’s final resting place.

By way of example, the exhibition explains, the burial chamber involved shrines within shrines and coffins within coffins – like a grand precursor to Russian matryoshka “nesting” dolls – each more magnificent that its predecessor. (The third of Tutankhamun’s three coffins, for example? A cool 242 pounds of solid gold.)

Other displays in the third stage explain mummification, do likewise for canopic jars (which contained Tutankhamun’s organs for re-use in the afterlife), spotlight statuettes of the Egyptian pantheon, showcase a gilded chariot and present an intriguing makeup box bearing an ankh, the Egyptian cruciform icon with a circular apex, which, the exhibition notes, signified both “life” and, curiously enough, “mirror.”

All in all, an inquisitive visitor to the exhibition could pass the better part of a day exploring just that third stage – an undeniable wonderwork.

In its entirety, the exhibition may well inspire a shiver of delight, as well as something more, something less easily definable. As early in “The Discovery of King Tut” as the third timeline panel mentioned previously, a photograph of Tutankhamun’s funerary mask – an almost unimaginably lovely aureate-and-jet artifact with emerald and ruby accents – gazes through cool kohlrimmed eyes at visitors, rather a sobering experience.

In returning that gaze, such visitors traverse not merely decades and centuries but millennia, to a time, in this mayfly age, all but beyond time.
