Back to School Edition: College-Bound In an increasingly competitive job environment, obtaining a degree after high school has become even more necessary.

The average estimated cost to attend at a public four-year in-state university is $24,061. The tuition is only a fraction of that figure but the total cost more than doubles when you factor in other room and board, books and supplies, transportation and personal expenses. The cost of a bachelor’s degree can vary based on several factors: attending a public vs. private university; attending an in-state vs. out-of-state university; location; or living at home vs. living on campus.

Based on the most recent study from Sallie Mae, currently contributions from parents have surpassed scholarships and grants.

What are the options to plan ahead?

STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Sarah Conard : sconard@laduenews.com

Save: Investing early and allowing the funds to compound can be an efficient way to pre-pay for higher education.

There are different types of accounts that are available such as brokerage, Roth IRA, 529 Plans, Coverdell savings, UGMA/ UTMA and savings bonds. Each of these strategies has its own rules, advantages and disadvantages.

Personally, I think the benefit of 529 plans and the ability to have tax-free growth is invaluable. The investment growth in 529 plans remains tax-free if the funds are used for qualified undergraduate or graduate expenses.

Free Money: The total cost of obtaining an undergraduate degree seems expensive. However, finding other resources can help reduce the net bill. One possibility is having friends and relatives help give the gift of college education by depositing the money they would have spent on gifts into a 529 plan.

There are several grant and scholarship programs available at the federal level, state level and via nonprofit organizations.

Missouri offers several grants and scholarships to its residents and the information is on the MO.gov website. The College Board also offers a free scholarship finder tool on their website that identifies relevant scholarship opportunities.

Borrow: Ultimately, many students and parents need to borrow money to finance the dream of attending college.

A few sources of financing are federal student loans, private student loans, financial aid offered by the university, home equity cash out, peer-to-peer lending and income share agreements.

letter

from the

Editor ‌One of the first things I purchased when moving out on my own was a decorative towel adorned with the words “Don’t go bacon my heart.” It featured a hand-drawn piece of bacon that, of course, was in the shape of a heart. I didn’t even own more than two bowls at the time, but I just had to have a cute towel that proclaimed my love of bacon – priorities.

I purchased the towel at a cute boutique: one that features quirky and cute items that are also good for a laugh. These sorts of boutiques are by far my favorite, and in this week’s Abode feature, we share the story of Kirkwood-based Knollwood Lane, which is just that sort of shop.

Starting on p. 28, LN contributing writer Brittany Nay shares the story behind what inspired Knollwood Lane (and, spoiler alert: there’s an adorable puppy featured in the spread and smileinducing home décor, not unlike my first kitchen towel).

Elsewhere in the issue we’re thrilled to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis (starting on p. 57) and the birth of a St. Louis Fashion Incubator (starting on p. 38), which are both huge milestones for our great city.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

Leukeemia & Lymphoma Society

the Way

E

to a CANCER-FREE SOCIETY

ach year, a powerfully beautiful scene is set in St. Louis’ Forest Park. Red, yellow and white lanterns light the night sky as hundreds gather for one important cause: creating a cancer-free world.

Money raised from this annual event goes to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), the organization which continues to fund groundbreaking research in the fight against cancer. “[In the next half hour], 10 people will be diagnosed with cancer, and three people will have lost their battle with it,” says the St. Louis corporate walk chair for Light the Night Walk, Frank D’Antonio. “I came to work with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for hope’s sake. We hope to eliminate all of the yellow lanterns [which represent those who have died] and to only have red and white lanterns at our walk someday for survivors and supporters.”

D’Antonio was drawn to help after hearing numerous stories about family and friends battling cancer. The market president at Aetna Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois asked himself and his wife, “What if we had the opportunity to do something about this – make a difference – and we didn’t take it?” He became a huge advocate for LLS and its mission. “To me, the worst thing a parent has to face in the world is losing a child. When I feel what these kids [with cancer] are going through and see their outlook on life [along with] their parents, it’s truly an inspiration. One of the motivations to go to Light the Night is to celebrate those stories, which inspire and motivate others,” he shares.

Ahmed Alalem recently faced that fear when his son, Yousef, was diagnosed at the age of 7 with B-cell lymphoma, also known as non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Shortly after arriving in the States, Alalem took his son in for a checkup because his stomach had become distended. “You couldn’t imagine what it was like to hear the news … Just the last 9, 2016 | LadueNews.com 1212 September SeptemBeR 9, 2016 | LadueNews.com

By Amanda Dahl | Photo by Sarah Conard

thing we expected. ‘Your son is sick,’” he says.

Despite his young age, Yousef proved incredibly patient throughout treatment. “The nurses would say, ‘We haven’t seen a young boy take the needles and poking and medicines that taste bad [without complaint].’ We’ve been really blessed. Thank God for the people who helped us get through this,” Alalem shares. “We felt at home in the hospital. They were like family to us. I would like to thank the doctors and nurses [who helped my son]. Now, Yousef is back to his normal activities and going to school. Through their kindness, care and support, they are changing people’s lives.”

Personal stories, such as Yousef’s, remind people of the true impact cancer has on many lives. With at least 154 different types of blood cancer, the challenge to create a cancer-free world can seem futile at times. Yet, consider Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), which is the most common type of childhood leukemia. In 1964, the survival rate for this form of blood cancer was a low 3 percent – and today, the survival rate has jumped to 91 percent. These tangible results show that significant improvements can and do happen.

D’Antonio notes that this year’s Light the Night Walk has set a goal of raising $1.1 million. “The walk starts at sundown, but there are many festivities before that,” he says. “The love [people will see] there will be unbelievable.

A celebration of hope is something that will truly have a positive impact on the community. I think there will be a lot of cheering, some crying – but overall, a celebration …

For those continuing the battle, for those who have lost the battle … and for those who have won.”

he Marines had landed at The Country Club of St. Albans, but it was for a peaceful purpose: to raise money for the Semper Fi Fund. It was the 12th annual Gen. James T. Conway Golf Outing held by the Missouri Friends of Injured Marines.

An armament and a vehicle display staffed by active-duty Marines greeted golfers at registration, along with bags of schwag, drinks and cigars. After a program where guests heard from officers plus injured Cpl. Jimmy Gentile, who recounted his struggle through injury in Iraq and almost 40 surgeries, guests had lunch before hitting both St. Albans courses. The Semper Fi Fund awards grants to injured Marines and their families that provide things like hotel rooms for family members during a Marine’s treatment away from home, adaptive technology and a host of other types of support that greatly supplements the limited support injured Marines sometimes receive.

I’ve been playing in this since the opening years, so it’s been 12 years now, and it’s been my favorite tournament. It’s one of the only ones I play in, and I know Centene has been a proud sponsor for years, so to me, it’s just a very important charity, and it’s kind of doing our little part to support the troops and specifically the Marines.

athers’ Support Center held its first-ever Pull for Fathers Sporting Clays Tournament at St. Charles’ Strathalbyn Farms Club recently. The event opened with a five-stand tuneup and a shotgun start. The 14-station, 100-round course presented challenging shots of every description. Following the shoot, attendees headed to the clubhouse for hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, a fried chicken dinner, an oral auction and “Bragging Rights” awards. The fundraising goal of $30,000 was cheerfully met, and the event helped to increase awareness of the important work being done by Fathers’ Support Center on behalf of children in the St. Louis area.

I am humbled by the support of everyone who participated in Pull for Fathers. In St. Louis, a large percentage of children grow up in low-income, single-parent homes. The supportive involvement of both parents in a child’s life is very important to a child’s psychological and emotional development. We work to help more children get the better outcomes that come from having parents who are prepared to support them in every way.

COZY MEETS CHIC

By Sarah Kloepple

M

arcia Moore of Marcia Moore Design worked with a family in Chesterfield to transform this master bedroom into a chic retreat.

“The house was family-friendly, and they wanted this to be their adult haven,” Moore says. “They also wanted it to be elegant but still cozy.”

The clients, who had recently moved to St. Louis, requested that the bedroom walls be painted chocolate brown, the same color used in the bedroom in their previous house. Moore wanted to add something – well – more.

“The wallpaper has such a unique pattern,” she says, adding, “As soon as we found the wallpaper, we found fabrics that worked well with it.”

After securing the wallpaper, Moore was able to mimic the pattern in the mirrors above the dresser, the Caracole chairs and even the bedspread (not pictured) to tie the room together.

The sitting area chairs, which Moore says took her some time to find, are adorned with decorative faux-hide pillows that match the fabric of the ottoman. The mirrors were originally silver and elevated with a champagne color. The rug was the final, glamorous addition.

Knollwood lane handcrafts vintage-inspired home décor and gifts in KirKwood.

even years ago, Susan Medart’s head was swimming with so many ideas she was having sleepless nights. “I kept waking up in the middle of night, and I would go downstairs and start making things on my dining room table,” recalls the St. Louis native, who always had a talent for designing and creating handmade crafts.

From those late-night craft sessions emerged Medart’s unique new venture – Knollwood Lane, offering wholesale and retail lines of vintage-inspired home décor and gift items. The business was named after Medart’s family property in northern Wisconsin – an old lodge her grandfather purchased in the ’40s that always has served as a place of inspiration for her.

Julie Frizzell, susan medart and Crystal Lindsey.

Soon after launching the company, the mother of three discovered through friends that two other local mothers, Crystal Lindsey and Julie Frizzell, also had a knack for handcrafting unique antique creations. The trio immediately hit it off, and the business expanded into a chic, rustic studio connected to Medart’s home. “There are 10 years between each of us, so we cover the gamut on generations we appeal to,” Medart says.

All of Knollwood Lane’s home décor and gift items are handcrafted by the artisans, who are drawn to vintage looks from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, and take inspiration from their faith, family and friendship – along with a healthy helping cted, of humor. “All of us being moms really bonds us, so we feel very connected,” Medart says. “We “We’ll ll get together and brainstorm idea ideas, s, or sometimes s a design will develop through texting ing each other.” o The company’s y s wide selection of home décor d includes its

best-selling flour-sack kitchen towels and canvas pillows, as well as wood coasters and canvas wall hangings in reclaimed wood frames. “We like to use cotton, wood, organic cork and canvas,” Medart says. “We are big on made in America and handmade, so the majority of our materials are from the U.S. – our canvas pillows are from Arkansas, and our reclaimed wood is from a Missouri barn from the 1800s.”

The trio collaborates to create vintage-inspired designs for each item. And Knollwood Lane’s signature sayings, from clever to funny to sassy, are added to many of the pieces. For example, one flour-sack kitchen towel features a llama and the phrase “This llama don’t need your drama,” while another displays a cupcake and the say saying “I love you like a fat kid loves cake.” And its canvas pillows feature sayings such as “Hot Southern Mess” and “Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy.”

The comical items have become a customer favorite, Medart says, adding, “We love getting ing rreactions out of people.”

A Additional handmade home décor includes paint-by-numbers pillows depicting natural al llandscape scenes; shields with mounted faux antlers, made of resin that has been en molded m from actual deer antlers from Wisconsin; and popular wooden Advent calend dar shadow boxes, hand-decorated by the team. The business also offers baby items,, including in onesies, burp cloths and play tents, and vintage-themed stationery, with th more m than 100 designs for virtually every special occasion.

K Knollwood Lane items are available online at knollwoodlane.com and etsy.com, as well a in more than 50 stores throughout the nation, mainly in the Midwest and ell as customers can find the company’s creations at The White Rabbit, an Texas.. Locally, L que boutique in Brentwood, and Red Door Furniture Co., a handcrafted home antiqu in St. Charles. décorr store st Sales have quadrupled since Knollwood Lane’s inception, due in large part to itss ann annual appearance each January at the Dallas Total Home & Gift Market, where stores es from fr around the country can place wholesale orders. Customer response has en eexciting, with all-positive reviews posted on etsy.com thus far, Medart says. “We been havee ship shipped from our Etsy shop to places all over the world, from Norway to Saudi Arabiaa,” she notes. “People love our quality.”

A As for the future, the Knollwood Lane studio always is buzzing with activity as the triio creates new designs. “We’re working on the 2017 product line and are excited th aabout ut d debuting it at Vintage Market Days from Oct. 7 to 9 [in the Chesterfield Mall park arking lot],” Medart says, adding that a new line of watercolor artwork is in the wo orks. “And we always try out our new items first at The White Rabbit, so locally you’ll y find new things there all the time.”

Fashion Renaissance St. Louis’

By Denise Kruse | Photo by Sarah Conard

The Saint Louis Fashion Incubator’s first class of designers hopes to revitalize Downtown’s once-booming fashion industry.

Y

ou might think of fashion design and economic development as apples and oranges, but for Eric Johnson, founder and executive director of the Saint Louis Fashion Fund, they’re two sides of the same coin. With the fund’s collective goal of mutual growth, Johnson hopes the symbiotic relationship of these two pursuits will “create a great renaissance” in Downtown St. Louis.

Specifically, he’s referring to the stretch of Washington Avenue that acted as a fashion design and manufacturing hub: From the late 19th century to the mid20th, “Wash Ave.” was a bustling fashion corridor, spanning 15 city blocks at the height of its glory days, second only to New York in its number of manufacturers and dry-goods companies. The district was home to once-powerful brands such as Knickerbocker, Bee Hat, Fashion Square, Kitty Kay Gloves and International Shoe.

Historians have different takes regarding why the city’s fashion industry fell away, but toward the end of World War II, it did just that. Lucky for style-savvy St. Louisans, investors are finally moving the industry forward again – and Johnson is one of those visionaries. Before moving back to his hometown, Johnson spent eight years in New York City as the vice president and divisional chief of staff for its Economic Development Corporation, where he oversaw the metropolis’ complete portfolio of fashion and retail initiatives – in all, more than $20 million in funding.

His nickname in New York was “fashion czar,” and it’s this tenacity, expertise and vision that led him to establish the Saint Louis Fashion Fund two years ago as a nonprofit organization.

The overall mission of the fund is to work with and help bolster the fashion industry in St. Louis, through school outreach, collaboration with arts and cultural organizations throughout the city, and a number of various other projects, the capstone of which is the Saint Louis Fashion Incubator.

Similar to artist-in-residence programs, the incubator is a fashion-focused, two-year immersive program for six existing up-and-coming designers across men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, accessories and footwear. The program, which is attracting attention from across the country, allows designers to hone in on their craft by providing private studios and idea-sharing space in the incubator’s City Museum-adjacent headquarters on Washington Avenue. They also have access to state-of-the-art tools, networking connections and guidance to accelerate their businesses to the next level. To help spread the word for the burgeoning program, Johnson embarked on a five-city tour to meet with designers based in Detroit; Nashville, Tennessee; Minneapolis; Chicago; and Dallas.

“There’s a lot of great design and fashion taking place in these cities, but it flies under the radar,” Johnson says. “You have individual designers who have been able to, quite frankly, survive outside of the mainstream [fashion centers such as Los Angeles and New York City]. In coming to St. Louis, with our connections and the beautiful studio space and mentorship they’ll be receiving, our hope will be providing them the tools to succeed, and they’ll be able to add to the vibrancy of St. Louis and embrace the opportunity that is before them.”

The incubator’s selection panel comprises six individuals from the fund’s 32-member board of directors, a diverse and deeply engaged group of leaders in culture, fashion, higher education, law and business. The panel received more than 40 applications in July from designers hailing from 16 cities across 11 states, representing fashion design work happening from coast to coast. Aside from the artistic element of fashion design, the panel specifically looked at each brand’s existing business fundamentals and accounts.

“What we’re looking for is fashion, economic development, business – we’re looking for the artistry and creative potential, with the business [skills] to back it up,” Johnson says.

Of the 40 applications, the panel culled the group down to 13 designers who met with the panel in New York, where the group was narrowed down to form the inaugural class of six that will be working in the fund’s incubator space for the next

two years. Womenswear designers form the majority of this year’s artists, including Agnes Hamerlik of Hamerlik, Reuben Reuel Riddick of Demestik by Reuben Reuel, Donald Charles Smith Brame II of Smith II, Emily Koplar of Wai Ming and Audra Noyes of AUDRA. One handbag designer also made the cut: Allison Mitchell of Allison Mitchell Handbags.

Johnson is involved in a similar fashion incubator program with the Council of Fashion Designers of America in New York City and is quick to point out that St. Louis’ incubator falls within the pyramid of that council.

“It’s at the top of the pyramid in terms of incubator programs at the national level,” he says. “I don’t necessarily want to compete – I want to create reasons to come to St. Louis, a new hub of activity that represents what’s happening outside of those [major fashion] centers.

“There are literally thousands of brands being developed every day – to have some of those best companies located here really represents a new storyline.”

With the six designers now selected, Johnson and the fund’s board of directors are able to turn their attention back to the development of the Washington Avenue incubator space. They’ve surpassed the halfway point of the $2 million in capital they hope to raise through the generous support of civic funders, private foundations, family foundations and private donors.

Currently undergoing renovations led by innovative St. Louis design firm Arcturis (which was founded by fund board member Pat Whitaker), the Saint Louis Fashion Incubator space is set to open the first week of January.

“We’re sitting in the nexus of where there will be a lot of activity in retail,” Johnson says. “We want this to be a place for other designers and artisans of St. Louis to have a real retail presence.” Rather than creating a showroom for the six incubator designers, Johnson envisions it as a bustling retail hub, sparking a new kind of Downtown garment district.

In addition to the retail space, the storefront and studio at 1533 Washington Ave. will offer private studio space and an area for light manufacturing (sewing machines and cutting tables for prototypes and samples) for the class of six designers. The incubator is also exploring partnerships with local manufacturers to keep full-scale manufacturing close to home for the designers.

“If you’re in St. Louis, you know about the deep, artistic cultural resources and attributes or opportunities that exist here, but [the city is] not really known for these things outside of St. Louis. I’d like the incubator to be part of that story – to recast the image of St. Louis overall.”

Grilled Summer Squash and Halloumi Tacos

‌I

Story, recipe and photography by Sherrie Castellano

love when the end of one season collides with the beginning of another. September is a supreme celebration of that transition, when lingering summer produce meets the first flashes of the harvest season.

My garden is still producing tons of summer squash, and at times it can be a bit overwhelming to find new and creative ways to prepare it.

There are many reasons I adore summer squash, but a main one is because it comes in an array of beautiful colors and shapes and subtle changes in flavor. Dark green zucchini, the most common, is soft, mild and extremely versatile. My favorite, yellow zucchini, comes in a deep golden hue and is a tad sweeter. Striped ‘Costata Romanesco’ is pale with darker ridges, while yellow squash comes with either a straight or crooked neck and is rich and somewhat buttery. Pattypans are like little discs that cook quickly and have a nice crunch. And probably the most fun of all is the eightball zucchini, as it’s small, round and fun to cut in perfectly circular slices or stuff.

Summer squash is loaded with vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and fiber, and although I certainly eat it for all of its health benefits, I don’t believe it’s ever tasted as good as it does with halloumi cheese. If you’re new to halloumi, it’s a semihard, unripened, brined cheese made from a mixture of goat’s and sheep’s milk. It’s known for its high melting point – making it a perfect cheese to grill – and its chewy texture.

On warm summer nights, one of my favorite meals is grilled squash and salty halloumi cheese wrapped in tortillas with some fermented hot sauce or salsa for an extra kick.

hen Angelo Arzano spoke to his daughter Olivia’s second-grade class in Town and Country, he shared with the students how he helped build One World Trade Center in New York City. He showed them pictures of the gleaming skyscraper that was designed not only as a working memorial of the victims of 9/11, but also as a testament to the American spirit.

Olivia was very proud, but after school, she told him she was even more proud of his work building an elementary school. “Schools make kids’ lives better,” she said.

Arzano builds schools, hospitals and skyscrapers. He is one of the lead architects at HOK, which is renowned as one of the top architectural design and engineering firms in the world – with headquarters in Downtown St. Louis. But 15 years ago, on September 11, 2001, he was 31 and working for the firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in Manhattan, just four blocks from ground zero.

“I had just arrived at work when one of my co-workers said, ‘Did you feel that?’”

Arzano recalls. The first reports were that a small plane hit one of the towers, but soon it became clear it was something much more. It was no accident – America was under attack.

“I got on the phone with my wife, and just then the whole building started to shake,” Arzano says. “We thought it was the fourth plane attacking the stock exchange just across the street. Then the phones went dead. That’s when the first building came down.” His voice wavers as he relives the moment.

“We headed down the fire stairs,” Arzano continues, “and when we opened the door to the street on the first floor, it was pitch-black. There were people in the street, wandering. We pulled them into the stairway from the sidewalk. At first, it was cave-dark. We were yelling, and people were following the sound of our voices.”

After the dust and debris started to settle, he and a friend headed north toward the Brooklyn Bridge. That’s when the second tower collapsed. “We were covered in ash from head to toe – it was a little bit of everything that was in that building: paper, concrete and … ” Arzano says, hesitantly. Because he’s obviously having a hard time finishing the sentence, I ask whether it was humanity. A nod signifies yes.

On that day, in that attack, 2,996 lives were lost, and the world forever changed.

With time, the country got back to work. Arzano was named senior project architect for building the new One World Trade Center. The plan was to build a “Freedom Tower”: 1,776 feet in the sky, the tallest building in the western hemisphere – a symbol of defiance to our enemies.

“There were some people who said we shouldn’t do anything,” Arzano says. “It was a sacred burial ground, but I obviously was on the side who believed if we don’t build anything, it would be like we lost.”

Arzano started working on the project in 2003, logging thousands of hours over the next four years, figuring out how to get it built – problem-solving with engineers, finding the best materials and meeting deadlines. He admits there were times when it felt like just another job, but then he says, “Every couple of weeks, you would come across a person who had someone who died that day. Then you looked at it a different way and remembered why we were building it, why it wasn’t just another project.”

The new One World Trade Center opened in 2014. To Arzano, it’s an emblem of resilience and an inspiration. “I look at it as a symbol of the fact that we didn’t give up,” he says.

In 2013, Arzano moved to St. Louis and joined HOK. He’s now the lead technical architect for the major renovation and construction project at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University’s medical school. He’s found that St. Louis is a

I look at it [One World Trade Center] as a symbol of the fact that we didn’t give up. lot easier to navigate than Manhattan, which gives him more time to spend with his wife and daughter.

Sadly, the shadows of 9/11 are never far off. “Whenever I sit down and relive that day, step by step, it still hits me as though I’m still there,” Arzano admits. “Later on, as my daughter gets older, I’ll try to explain it to her, but it will always be a hard thing to do.”

He’ll tell her again about the Freedom Tower, a building that helped us all begin to heal from that fateful September day. Hopefully, he’ll also tell her more stories of the hospitals and schools he’s built, buildings that make lives better.

I think Olivia will be proud.

n late September, St. Louis will host a two-day conference spotlighting innovation happening in the Midwest – a region arguably overlooked in the world of technology – bringing together entrepreneurs, innovators and creatives alike.

Maritz, a marketing services and research agency headquartered in Fenton, is hosting the Innovation by Design Summit, open to the public from Sept. 27 to 28 at Union Station. “As a corporate innovator or someone who is in the innovation space, in order for you to go and get inspired and connect with other innovators, you have to pack your bags,” says Tracie Gildehaus, senior director of innovations and insights at Maritz. “You have to travel to either New York or Austin …

We thought, ‘Wow, we have this unique innovation ecosystem thriving here in St. Louis. Why shouldn’t St. Louis power an amazing event and bring innovators here?’”

The summit will offer keynote speakers – including Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, and Jeremy Gutsche, founder of TrendHunter.com – as well as “innovation safaris” (think of them as immersive tech trade shows), talks and workshops by leaders in the field of innovation, happy hours and “brain dating lounges,” which Gildehaus describes as “Match. com for innovators.” Individual attendees of the brain dating lounge will use the app Bonfyre, created and headquartered in St. Louis, to upload a topic they wish to discuss at the summit, which will connect them with others interested in the same topic to meet and chat.

The summit aims to be a hands-on experience rather than mere PowerPoint presentations and business-card exchanges. Its purpose is to foster deep discussions on best practices, reimagining business challenges in the workforce and more, as well as to discuss the latest in topics like 3-D printing, virtual reality and artificial intelligence. The conference’s layout in Union Station is designed to be fluid so attendees can pop in and out of any workshop throughout the day.

“We designed it that way so they can absorb as much content as possible instead of just being locked into a room,” Gildehaus says.

The event also will stress application of tactics or inspiration received at the summit to attendees’ professional and personal lives.

“A lot of times you go to a conference, and you can be inspired and take a bunch of notes, but unless you do something with the information, how valuable was that experience?” says Jessica Edgar, marketing

manager for the Maritz Institute, one of the many legs of the company.

Maritz was founded in 1894 and was originally a wholesaler of fine jewelry. When the Great Depression hit, the company pivoted to the incentive industry to design reward programs for large corporations.

Through much more reinvention, the company now has multiple business lines that include Maritz Travel, Maritz Motivation Solutions and Maritz CX. The innovation summit originally was held in 2013 for Maritz employees only. The second year, the company invited a handful of outside innovators to attend, and it grew even more in its third year.

Now in 2016, the event has been rebranded into the Innovation by Design Summit, and for the first time, it’s open to the general public.

“The core purpose of the event is to celebrate the intersection of innovation and design thinking,” Gildehaus says. “We want St. Louis innovation and the entire entrepreneurship community to shine.”

The tech industry in St. Louis has been steadily growing. This year, the website Business Insider listed it as the No. 1 U.S. city with the fastestgrowing startup scene, with a 33.02 percent average annual-growth rate between 2012 and 2015. St. Louis even ranked above booming cities including Seattle, Austin and Kansas City. From homegrown businesses such as LockerDome, programs such as Arch Grants (a nonprofit that awards startups and entrepreneurs with $50,000 grants) and Capital Innovators (a St. Louis startup accelerator and partner of Maritz), it’s evident that St. Louis is a thriving hub.

The Innovation by Design Summit wants to shine a light on this growth, most notably through the Social Hackathon component on the summit’s second day, hosted by Creative Reaction Lab, a nonprofit formed in response to the unrest in Ferguson two years ago. Attendees will be presented social problems like the education gap and wage inequality, and they will work together to apply design-thinking to come up with solutions. The goal is to execute the solutions after the summit and improve our community.

“I think it’s very meaningful to celebrate St. Louis in a positive light,” Gildehaus says. “I think this event, along with the community, can shine that light … We really want to showcase what’s happening here.”

The core purpose of the event is to celebrate the intersection of innovation and design thinking.

We want St. Louis innovation and the entire entrepreneurship community to shine.

Dinner ...

BaiKu Sushi Lounge “I want to focus on the straightforward, simple flavors of quality fresh fish,” Harris says. “I’m sourcing seafood from all over the globe, and it just really shows in the taste and flavors of our dishes. There’s nothing wrong with a good roll, but I’m more of a purist.”

Although Harris inherited the main body of BaiKu’s former menu, patrons will notice a variety of new items, including Harris’ chilled poke bowl made up of ahi tuna dressed in a spicy miso sauce with cucumber, Maui onion, wakame, shrimp chips and kimchi furikake.

Another one of his creations, the magic mushroom roll, comes artfully plated with salmon, snow crab, avocado, enoki mushrooms, yamagobo, chili aioli, house-cured roe, scallions and a sweet-soy reduction.

On the hot side of the kitchen, which is shared with BaiKu’s sister restaurant, Triumph Grill, chefs Ryan Cooper and Mike Burnau debut several dishes to fill out the menu, including a grilled octopus salad, pad

thai and a grilled pork-belly entrée. Another addition, taro tacos, consists of soy-glazed duck confit in a taro shell with yuzu slaw, pickled Fresno pepper, avocado mash and a sweet-soy reduction.

Most prominently, however, Harris intends to showcase fresh daily fish presented in nigiri or sashimi styles. He also features regular rotating specials, such as uni shooters with Hokkaido sea urchin, quail egg, tobiko, green onion, radish sprout and ponzu.

“There’s just a ton of experience behind this sushi bar and with that comes passion,” Harris says. “We’ve honed our crafts for decades, between knife skills and breaking down the fish to balance flavors and textures.

The technique is something you taste and see when you sit down at our sushi bar.”

The Midtown sushi restaurant originally opened in Hotel Ignacio in October 2014 and closed in January due to construction on the building. It reopened on April 26 under new leadership with an updated menu.

Harris previously served as the executive chef of Brad Beracha’s now-shuttered restaurant Miso. His 20 years of experience behind a sushi bar also includes owning the sushi-centric food truck Chop Shop STL and serving as the sushi consultant for Central Table Food Hall. After selling his food truck last December, Harris worked his way back into Beracha’s kitchens.

He collaborates with former Sekisui sushi chef Kenji Nemoto to retool the restaurant’s chilled offerings while highlighting traditional techniques.

Jazz St. Louis Reflects Area’s Rich Musical Heritage

PHOTO BY DEVIN RODINO‌

By Mark Bretz S‌ t. Louis has the music.

Located on the Mississippi River with other musically renowned cities like Memphis and New Orleans, the Lou has nurtured harmonies and melodies since Scott Joplin tickled the ivories in a new phenomenon called ragtime. Also, our own Chuck Berry numbered among the earliest practitioners of the genre dubbed rock ’n’ roll, and St. Louis now boasts Downtown’s National Blues Museum.

A city with so rich a sonic heritage likewise should be expected to have a profile in that most American of musical forms, jazz. Through the efforts of the late Barbara Rose, appreciation for that form in St. Louis on a larger scale took off in the 1990s with a program in Downtown’s Hotel Majestic called Just Jazz.

Her many contacts in the music business allowed the widely respected woman known as “Jazz Mom” to present nationally known and internationally renowned musicians in a small, intimate atmosphere at the hotel.

In 1995, she moved the program to Grand Center, where it was renamed Jazz at the Bistro and officially incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1998.

When Rose succumbed to breast cancer that same year, Jazz at the Bistro looked for someone with the stature and savvy to move it boldly into the 21st century. Gene Dobbs Bradford, a Maryland native who had directed operations for the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra since 1994, was named executive director in 1999.

Bradford, now president and CEO, has built the organization’s income from $375,000 to $2.8 million today. He’s also overseen its successful $10 million capital campaign and seen Jazz St. Louis (the umbrella name given to the organization in 2006) adapt to its renovated facility in the Harold & Dorothy Steward Center for Jazz at 3536 Washington Ave. “Ever since the renovation, top musicians have been saying Jazz at the Bistro is one of the top-five jazz venues in the world,” says Bradford. The upgraded facility, which includes a 200-seat club at the Steward Center, is something “St. Louis is going to be proud of,” adds Bradford. “Unlike New York or San Francisco, with big markets and a tourism industry, we need to build up a strong base in our own community.”

Bradford recognizes the importance of the Steward Center performance space for Jazz at the Bistro to thrive. “People who love jazz will go to the worst dive to see artists, and they love to brag about suffering for art,” he notes with a chuckle. “Most people aren’t like that, though. We wanted to build a place that is very

welcoming for everyone.”

Jazz St. Louis yearly fills its schedule with more than 300 concerts, a staggering total for any arts organization. “Our artistic director, Bob Bennett, does the booking with a little help from yours truly and a couple of other members of our staff,” says Bradford.

“We try to find artists who are the top touring jazz musicians in the world and bring them in here for a four-night run.”

The third season in Jazz St. Louis’ new home will introduce the organization’s Thursday Morning Coffee Concerts, featuring selected performers in 11 a.m. gigs.

Additionally, 11 different artists will debut as Jazz at the Bistro headliners in performances at both 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

The Thursday morning concerts resulted from an analysis of Jazz at the Bistro audiences, including potential patrons. “We found that there are people who aren’t able to come to shows at night,” says Bradford. “So this year we’re launching the coffee concerts, which are pulled together from the Barbara Rose Series and our subscription series. Our morning concerts will serve complimentary coffee and doughnuts courtesy of Tim Hortons.”

About other marquee performances, he continues, “We have a series dedicated to Barbara Rose that features top pianists. Barbara loved jazz trios consisting of piano, bass and drums. And last year, for our 20th anniversary, we had a season reflecting our heritage.”

Besides the Jazz at the Bistro series, Jazz St. Louis seeks to fill an educational role at its Centene Jazz Education Center, which opened in 2014. “We have a core value of continuous improvement,” says Bradford, “to find a better way to do things, reach a bigger audience. We want people to speak about jazz with the same kind of pride as the Arch, the Cardinals and Ted Drewes. This is a part of our community.”

The Steward Center, which opened in 2014, includes not only the education center, but also Nancy’s Jazz Lounge and the Ferring Jazz at the Bistro series. “We have practice rooms and rehearsal rooms for students,” notes Bradford. “It’s very common for students to interact with musicians who perform at the bistro as well as with top jazz educators.”

He adds, “We work with school districts throughout the metropolitan area. We’re focused on a few, including Riverview Gardens, Normandy and East St. Louis. We also do educational activities elsewhere, including Warren County, St. Louis City schools, the

archdiocese, Ferguson-Florissant, University City, Webster Groves and Kirkwood.”

Bradford believes the National Blues Museum and similar attractions complement Jazz St. Louis. “We can boast leadership from rock ’n’ roll to blues to jazz,” he observes, “with Chuck Berry, Ike and Tina Turner – even Nelly will be performing with the symphony, so add hip-hop to that.”

Through its hundreds of annual concerts, Jazz at the Bistro features “a lot of different styles of jazz,” notes Bradford. “Al Jarreau [on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1] will be doing a special show, a duo featuring Al and a pianist.”

The tandem performance will mark the world-famous jazz vocalist’s Jazz at the Bistro premiere. “Other styles include Ann Hampton Calloway’s cabaret jazz and what we call the ‘straight ahead’ jazz melodies of the Clayton Brothers, as well as modern jazz and fusion.”

When Jazz St. Louis isn’t booking national acts, it fills the bistro with area performers. “We have a strong commitment to the local jazz scene here,” says Bradford. “In weeks that are nonsubscription, we focus Jazz St. Louis’ Local Spotlight Series on local artists such as Good 4 the Soul, Dawn Weber and folks like that.”

On most nights throughout the year, the joint’s jumpin’ at Jazz at the Bistro. For a complete listing of the 2016-17 season, visit jazzstl.org. Call 314-571-6000 for information, or check Ladue News’ Fall Arts Guide at laduenews.com.

Ready Readers

Fall for Reading

T

he oncoming fall provides ample opportunities for your family to experience nature’s amazing transformations.

Temperatures moderate, replacing St. Louis’ typical summer heat, and cool breezes prompt the reappearance of light jackets.

As darkness falls earlier each evening, take your family on post-dinner walks to enjoy the dwindling evening light while it lasts. Note the trees, plants and animals along your route – they’ll all be changing soon.

Children learn through viewing life cycles in nature.

To toddlers, varicolored leaves likely seem magical, as if sprites spent their evenings painting each leaf in a kaleidoscope of autumnal hues. Older children enjoy peering more closely, noticing everything from insects to tree bark, leaves to acorns, and animals in their arboreal habitat.

Beyond sharing books with almost 10,000 preschoolers in the Ready Readers program, we feed their hungry minds by celebrating the connections between our books and the world around them.

Mouse’s First series – constitutes one of our favorites for toddlers and other young children. Its simple text and vibrantly colored full-page illustrations draw children into Mouse’s world as she explores the wonders around her: the many shades, sizes and shapes of the falling leaves, as well as the joy of piling leaves to jump into and play hide-and-seek with a friend.

We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger with illustrations by Miki Sakamoto celebrates colors as adventurous friends embark on a walking journey and discover a variety of trees. Its rhymed text encourages participation, as children join in saying, “We’re going on a leaf hunt, we’re going right away. Let’s find colorful leaves. It’s a wonderful day!” Kids also gleefully join in the refrain, “We can’t go under it … We have to go

around it! … Come on, let’s go!”

Especially curious kids will revel in the details of The Busy Tree by Jennifer Ward with illustrations by Lisa Falkenstern. Its macro views and realistic oil-painted visuals show the insects and animals that live in, under and around trees, and its descriptive language should compel children to investigate both the book and their own environments more closely.

Regarding the evening walk mentioned earlier, when taking it, also take a bag to collect fallen foliage, seeds and bark to inspect and compare later at home. Also, a big plastic magnifying glass should encourage budding young scientists and prompt insightful discussion.

Family nature walks foster wonderful learning and memory-making opportunities.

Left Bank Books presents an evening with JUDITH FERTIG, who will sign and discuss her newest book, The Memory of Lemon. The novel serves as a sequel to The Cake Therapist. In The Memory of Lemon, Claire “Neely” Davis is a pastry chef who possesses an otherworldly power: She can taste people’s emotions, sensing ingredients that will touch her customers’ souls.

When she assists a bride-to-be and her overbearing mother, Neely discovers her ability has gone silent. She’s also juggling a divorce from her high-profile husband, her veteran father’s posttraumatic stress disorder and her own conflicting emotions. The free event will take place at Left Bank Books. Proof of book purchase from Left Bank is required to enter the signing line.

In Whitehead’s story, the Underground Railroad is a literal railroad with engineers and conductors operating a secret network of tracks and tunnels under Southern soil. The event will take place at the St. Louis County Library headquarters.

One of St. Louis’ preeminent institutions observes half a century of staging stellar productions.

T

he year 1966 saw the establishment of two cultural icons here, one of which – Sverdrup & Parcel and Associates’ glorious Busch Stadium – already has fallen to time’s passage. And the other?

Well, The Rep – only its mother, frankly, ever calls it “The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis” – this year celebrates its 50th anniversary with an appropriately golden sextet on its Mainstage at Webster Groves’ Loretto-Hilton Center: Follies, Until the Flood, A Christmas Carol, All My Sons, To Kill a Mockingbird and Million Dollar Quartet.

And to cue a handy cliché, Steven Woolf (now observing his own 30th anniversary as The Rep’s artistic director) sounds as pleased as punch about

the anniversary-year series.

“Follies is a remarkable theatrical enterprise,” Woolf says of the series’ first production, which opened just two days ago. “It has a brilliant score and fascinating script. It’s not often performed because of the size of the show, and it’s a magnificent way to launch the 50th season of The Rep. “The cast includes three Tony-nominated performers, as well as others who have major Broadway credits, plus some excellent St. Louis performers, too. It’s a show that explores the complexities of relationships, set in a world of show business where ghosts from the past become part of the present-day – 1971 – story.

“Its musical numbers reflect many moods and eras

of productions of a [Ziegfeld Follies-style revue] and also the sometime folly involved in relationships. It’s a multigenerational theatrical extravaganza.”

The remainder of the Mainstage season Woolf characterizes as “a series of shows that have very different styles and have fascinating stories and show a wide range of theatricality and ideas.”

With the exception of A Christmas Carol – scheduled for the holiday season, for obvious reasons – he also succinctly explains the arrangement of the six individual productions in the series.

“Some of the sequencing may have to do with the availability of creative teams to work a show into their own schedules,” Woolf says, “and also, the way a season is developed has kind of its own special

Golden Jubilee Lineup To celebrate its 50th anniversary, The Rep’s presenting these six Mainstage productions, subscriptions to which run between $108 and $489: Follies, Sept. 7 to Oct. 2. This Stephen Sondheim musical – directed by Rob Ruggiero, with a book

by James Goldman – salutes showbiz in style and explores love and memory. On debuting on Broadway in 1971, it won seven Tony Awards, including Best Score, Best Choreography and Best Leading Actress in a Musical.

September 9, 2016 | LadueNews.com

Until the Flood, Oct. 12 to Nov. 6. The Rep commissioned writer, performer and Pulitzer Prize finalist Dael Orlandersmith to write and perform a one-woman play about recent unrest in St. Louis. In this world premiere directed

by Neel Keller, she’ll depict how community residents felt about having our city thrust into a spotlight it neither expected nor relished.

A Christmas Carol, Nov. 30 to Dec. 24. Augustin Family Artistic Director Steven Woolf himself will direct this David H. Bell adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic. The immortal Ebenezer Scrooge returns to The Rep for the first time in 35 years, to remind us all of the increasingly rare virtues of empathy, compassion and generosity.

flow [from] year to year.”

In addition to joining the theatrical community in specific and the larger community in general in celebrating The Rep’s 50th anniversary, Woolf is quietly celebrating another event of no small significance: a $1 million endowment of the theater’s artistic directorship by the Augustin family.

The family in question, which reportedly has supported The Rep for decades both by making financial gifts and by serving on its board of directors, made that endowment – the largest single gift in The Rep’s history – in July.

“I was thrilled and honored by the generosity of the Augustin gift,” Woolf notes of the endowment.

“It is remarkably generous and humbling.”

He also reflects briefly on triumphs and challenges for The Rep throughout its many years.

“There is no question that our Off-Ramp series was an artistic and theatrical high point for the organization,” Woolf says, referring to a fourseason program that ran in The Grandel Theatre from 2005 to 2009 and included such productions as The Lieutenant of Inishmore by Martin

All My Sons, Jan. 4 to 29. Seth Gordon will direct Arthur Miller’s searing breakthrough drama about a corrupt World War II factory owner and his family. When it bowed on Broadway in 1947, All My Sons won Tonys for Best Author and Best Direction of a Play.

2014 – A Midsummer Night’s Dream

McDonagh and The Little Dog Laughed by Douglas Carter Beane. “The work was special, and it’s too bad that it turned out to be simply financially impossible to continue.”

Among challenges for The Rep, both resolved and ongoing, Woolf continues: “One of the biggest for us as well as other arts organizations is to be able to attract a younger cohort to join our audiences to experience the magic and surprise of theatrical performances.”

In that regard, when asked which production or productions top his informal wish list as The Rep’s head honcho, Woolf mulls the matter a moment.

“I’m not sure I have a real cogent answer here,” he replies. “I’d love to be able to stage Here Lies Love – which is a remarkable piece about Imelda Marcos with music by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim. Full of music and video. Very special. I’d also love to find a way to produce Mnemonic, a mesmerizing story put together by a company called Complicite that is French-based and run by Simon McBurney.”

When asked which improvements or general

To Kill a Mockingbird, Feb. 8 to March 5. Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel will come to the stage in this adaptation by Christopher Sergel, directed by Risa Brainin. Lee’s multitudinous fans almost certainly will flock to the production, especially in light of her death this year as well as the controversial publication of the pseudo-sequel, Go Set a Watchman, last year.

changes, in the short term and the long term alike, Woolf would like to implement at The Rep, his response sounds a wholly pragmatic note.

“It would be wonderful if we could have an expansion of our lobby space – it would give audience members more space to move around,” he says. “This also would involve more restroom facilities.”

Lobby and lavatory upgrades? Those might seem unthinkably modest objectives to some, especially in the context of one of St. Louis’ preeminent institutions.

Then again, modesty has its merits – and in an era rife with abject grandiosity, to borrow a few phrases from the source of The Rep’s third 2016-17 production, a profoundly modest but meaningful gulf separates Marley being “as dead as a door-nail” and Tiny Tim’s final “God bless Us, Every One!” The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, Loretto-Hilton Center, 130 Edgar Road, Webster Groves, 314-968-4925, repstl.org

Million Dollar Quartet, March 15 to April 9.

Johnny! Jerry Lee! Carl! Elvis! For one brief, shining moment in music history, this fab foursome made Memphis’ Sun Studio go nova.

Hunter Foster will direct this production, with a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux, who provided the original concept.
