EDITOR ‌WITH NEAR-CONSTANT DEMANDS AT WORK AND HOME, IT’S important to take a moment to step back each day to unwind, relax and keep ourselves healthy, both inside and out. For me, a daily walk does the trick. Between the fall foliage, the physical activity that I lack during the workday and the company of my baby boy, it’s a literal breath of fresh air.

If a walk won’t do the trick, though, try visiting Radiance Float + Wellness, a new facility in Brentwood dedicated to promoting a healthy mind and body. Radiance, which opened in August, offers float therapy, cryotherapy, salt therapy, an infrared sauna and so much more. Started by father-and-daughter team Drs. V.J. Thomas and Zinia Thomas, the facility offers natural, safe therapies that complement traditional medicine. As you read the story, which starts on p. 47, we hope you find Radiance Float + Wellness as a place of peace that can truly help you destress at the end of the day, week or even month.

We hope you enjoy this story or even find Radiance as a new outlet for you and yours.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

t The Gatesworth, learning is a continuous journey. Residents of the senior living community are able to take advantage of a wide range of programs offered, including a speaker series that began five years ago.

Kathy Davis, The Gatesworth’s resident program director, wanted to bring in a series of speakers for the residents so they could learn more about the community in which they live.

“We call it the St. Louis Icon Series,” Davis says. “My thought was that a St. Louis icon can be a person who is iconic, or the place or institution they’re speaking about is iconic.”

One of the first speakers was Mary Strauss of The Fabulous Fox Theatre, who brought in photos of the theater before its massive restoration and talked about the theater through the years.

“It was just so engaging for people, especially those who grew up going to see movies and stage productions at the Fox,” Davis says. “[The speaker series] gets them to walk down memory lane and also bring them up to speed on the current state of the place or person.”

Each series set has a theme. The year they brought in Strauss, The Gatesworth also brought in speakers about other local landmarks like The Chase Park Plaza. With each session, Davis begins with an introduction of the speaker, followed by lunch.

After lunch, the speaker begins his or her presentation.

“It’s amazing how much fun you can pack into an hour and a half,” Davis says.

In the past five years, speakers have included Saint Louis Art Museum director

Gatesworth residents Dr. Jim and Eleanor Willibrand with Bill McClellan

Brent Benjamin, Missouri Botanical Garden president Peter Wyse Jackson, Repertory Theatre of St. Louis artistic director Steven Woolf, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis general director Tim O’Leary, Muny artistic director Mike Issacson and St. Louis Symphony music director David Robertson.

“We have so many residents who support these institutions, and we’re giving them the chance to get to know the people behind [the institutions]. And if they haven’t been to some of the places, oftentimes it sparks their interest,” Davis says.

She notes that the speaker series has been a great way for people who have lived here all their lives to appreciate their city in a fresh way.

“The other percentage who haven’t lived here their whole lives … that’s exciting for them,” she says. “It gives them a chance to feel that hometown pride.”

The series The Gatesworth just started features an assortment of people who have made great contributions to St. Louis. Most recently, it hosted longtime St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bill McClellan, for whom the series had a waiting list. Later this year, The Gatesworth will host opera singer Christine Brewer, Nine Network CEO Jack Galmiche and former Missouri U.S. Sen. John C. Danforth.

The Gatesworth residents Salvatore and Celia Sutera typically attend all of the speaker series presentations.

Celia says she finds all of the speakers interesting and particularly enjoyed McClellan’s talk. Salvatore agrees, noting that they follow his column very closely.

“He’s such a great storyteller,” Celia says.

The Suteras say they also enjoyed the chancellors of local universities who came to speak as part of a recent set of lecturers.

“They’ve all been so good,” she says. “It was so interesting to hear the directions their schools are going.”

“A few of them are fairly new to their positions, and we were very impressed by their presentations,” Salvatore agrees.

The Suteras have found that there is a strong intellectual community at The Gatesworth and are always interested in new opportunities. Davis says the residents have stressed that they want to keep learning and experiencing life. Through programs like discussion groups, book clubs and the speaker series, they are able to do just that.

“It’s such a good community,” Salvatore says. “We’ve made so many friends, and the amenities are excellent. We couldn’t ask for anything better.”

Arts As Healing Foundation

GALA VI

Brad and Phyllis Hershey

Story and photos by Christina Kling-Garrett

O

n August 19, the Arts as Healing Foundation held its sixth annual gala, themed “This Is What Healing Looks Like,” at the Duane Reed Gallery in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood. Artists and guests mingled in the gallery viewing works of art available for sale or donation to a local hospital. Guests also had the chance to buy raffle tickets to win one of several pieces at the end of the evening. Artist Mary Louise Walker’s watercolor Go … Be As the Butterfly numbered among the pieces on display; in Walker’s own battle with cancer, butterflies became a symbol of hope. Duane Reed, owner and founder of the gallery, welcomed everyone and then introduced Vicki Friedman, the foundation’s executive director. She spoke about the foundation’s mission “to bring the therapeutic benefits of art to those touched by cancer and other chronic illnesses.” Dr. John DiPersio, the deputy director of Siteman Cancer Center, gave the keynote address. Throughout the event, guests enjoyed drinks and appetizers and, subsequently, they dined on a meal from Café Napoli. Since its founding in 2005, the Arts as Healing Foundation, a St. Louis-based nonprofit, has offered cancer patients and those with chronic illnesses an opportunity for creative expression by providing free art lessons and a variety of other artistic activities.

F

or 61 years, Legal Services of Eastern Missouri (LSEM) has been providing free civil legal help to low-income families. This year’s 35th annual For the Common Good Awards dinner recognized the pro bono attorneys and law firms that partner with LSEM. These community partners and volunteers helped LSEM assist nearly 30,000 people in 2016. The dinner took place in the unique surroundings of St. Louis’ MOTO Museum, where guests sipped cocktails amid the many vintage motorcycles. Eleven different awards were presented after dinner, including two bestowed to a pair of local champions of justice who recently died: Holly Yoakam and the Hon. Richard B. Teitelman.

Legal Services has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My dad believed strongly that giving back through the legal profession was the responsibility of every attorney, and that was something that wasn’t negotiable. It’s a belief that I also hold and have seen such value in the work that the staff, the volunteers, everyone affiliated with the organization does to really advance the quality of life for people in St. Louis.

Why You Need a Mudroom

By Shannon Cross | Photos supplied by Mosby Building Arts

‌M

udrooms, despite their unprepossessing name, can be beautiful and functional control centers to residences, rather than dismal pass-through spaces.

With some creative use of space, maximizing organization and pops of color, in fact, a mudroom can have day-to-day functionality and save your sanity at the same time. A few ways to create the perfect mudroom follow.

1. Add a sink. A large single-bowl sink can enhance the functionality of a mudroom when space allows.

It gives you a place to rinse slimy hands, spot-treat stained laundry, water indoor plants or rinse off shoes actually muddy from having kids playing outside.

2. Maximize space. Using a stackable washer and dryer makes a fantastic way to maximize space, while allowing more room for efficiency and functionality.

Also, creating a space for hanging wet clothes remains key to a mudroom; do so by adding a full-size hanging

clothes rod or a pull-down drying rack that can be folded up when not in use. Similarly, having an area to fold clothes makes a wonderful use for the space – allowing you to fold as you remove clothes from the dryer. There are many unique options for cabinets that can conceal or fold down your ironing board to maximize space, as well.

3. Organize. Having a place to store footwear gives the entire family a “landing zone” so their shoes aren’t scattered throughout the house. Adding storage lockers or a designated area with hooks for kids’ backpacks, coats, shoes and so forth helps organize and create a routine for the family as well – letting them know where everything is the next morning, when, say, rushing to catch a bus on time. Plus, when each child has his or her own locker/storage area, it helps cut down on arguing over whose stuff goes where. Personalizing each locker with children’s names on cute chalkboard plaques or labels lends the lockers a nice visual touch while designating the area for each family member.

4. Don’t forget furry friends! The mudroom also makes the perfect spot to store pets’ leashes, food bowls, brushes, litter boxes and so forth.

Creating a storage area and some hooks for these items gives you a place for everything (and everything in its place!).

T

he updated and expanded 1930s cottage at 110 Dielman Road has turned into a decorated masterpiece for the 2017 Ladue News Show House, as attendees to last Thursday’s preview party saw.

St. Louis’ top interior designers took on 12 spaces inside and outside the home, and each week since the magazine’s Sept. 22 issue, LN’s been sharing behind-the-scenes peeks into the design process. This week, readers can learn about the inspiration and plans for the home’s solarium guest suite, dining room and lower-level family room.

Readers similarly should pick up the Oct. 13 and 20 issues of Ladue News for the remaining room previews in advance of the Show House’s big reveal in the Nov. 3 issue. Also, the Show House opens to the public for tours from Saturday, Oct. 7, to Oct. 22 (excluding Mondays); to learn more about the Show House or to buy tour tickets, visit laduenews.com.

Preview

solarium Guest suite Designers: Anne smith AnD Liz mcgovern of June Roesslein inteRioRs Designers Anne smith and Liz McGovern of June Roesslein Interiors tackled the solarium guest suite, which features glass walls that both designers love. “Marrying the inside and the outside is thrilling,” smith says. “our intention was to highlight the outdoors to the interior. we combined a neutral palette with a lot of texture. Not wanting to detract from the terrace and gardens, we intended to enhance this atmosphere.”

June Roesslein Interiors, 10411 Clayton Road, suite 206, Frontenac, 636-394-1465, juneroesslein.com

Neutral colors like cream and gray are paired with high-textured items.

The lack of usable wall space made the furniture layout one of the room’s chief challenges.

Accents feature natural details like branches.

A “living wall” is a unique way to bring the outdoors inside.

Preview

Dining Room Designer: gigi Lombrano, asiD, of GiGi Lombrano interiors With ample light and built-ins, the dining room is spacious and something of a blank canvas, given its light-colored carpeting. The new design features a balance of neutral colors and cool blue tones sure to play well with the view from the picture windows. The space is not without its challenges, though; from the offset lighting to the less-than-high ceiling, Gigi Lombrano of Gigi Lombrano Interiors says the room has some quirks that made her job a bit more difficult, but she still ultimately exclaims, “I guess I like a challenge!”

Gigi Lombrano Interiors, 314-707-7291

instead of the traditional rectangular shape, Lombrano selected a round dining table.

“with the chandelier being offset in the room, i realized i could create a wonderful seating [or] lounge area,” Lombrano says. “This creates a whole new use for the room.”

A rug added on top of the carpet grounded the space.

“Greige,” a combination of gray and beige, is one of the main colors in the space, allowing the opportunity to layer additional neutrals.

Loft Designer: CJ Knapp of Yours bY DesiGn The second-floor loft is a spacious room with ample storage and unique angles. “The loft area creates a great place for family and friends to gather,” says CJ Knapp of Yours by Design. “There’s a special spot for the children to watch TV, areas to work on puzzles and projects and play games, social gathering spots to sprawl out or read, and lots and lots of storage.”

Yours by Design, 314-283-1760, cjknappinteriors.com

The concept behind the unique accessories? “An eclectic space full of pieces that remind the family of favorite places,” says Knapp.

Blue, cream and deep coral fabric from Thibaut adds a pop of color.

“when inside [the loft] with the flaps down, you feel as if you are camping in the woods or in the desert with your camels parked outside, or on a pirate ship in the belly of the boat,” Knapp says of the tentlike addition to the loft. “it’s a space where you can let your imagination run wild.”

★ oots, flannel, skinny jeans and voilà! – you are instantly ready for fall fashion. Updating your go-to makeup routine, though, is just as important. In mid-September, we took to New York Fashion week for inspiration.

Although we in the St. Louis area needn’t follow those models’ makeup leads exactly, we can take inspiration from them in crafting our own autumnal cosmetic trends – like so: Dark lipsticks. Autumn style always embraces dark lipstick colors, but you’ll be seeing a lot more ruby-red lips this year. If you don’t feel like completely succumbing to this trend, try a berry-colored lipstick first. Or to brighten up a deep lipstick, dip a cotton swab in makeup remover and gently dab the center of the lip for an ombré effect. As a bonus, by the way, dark lipsticks with a blue undertone make teeth look extra-white.

Plum eyeshadows. Opt for plum-colored eyeshadows when applying makeup this fall. When trying a darker, smoky eye, incidentally, choose a neutral lip color so your face has just one focal point.

Metallic accents. In their cosmetics, New York Fashion Week models sported many different metallic accents. Explore this trend by implementing a metallic eyeshadow into your everyday look; alternately, try a gel eyeliner that’s metallic.

Who knows? A metallic pop on the peepers might mark your latest favorite trend this year.

Graphic eyeliner. To try this look, use black liquid eyeliner to create a winged accent. To go especially bold, leave the lower lash line blank and create a sharp wing on the upper eyelid. This will add a prounounced contrast sure to make a statement.

Contoured cheeks. The hot bronzed cheeks of summer have given way to a structured and contoured look for autumn. Choose a cool toned bronzer and an angled face brush to contour your cheeks. To create this contour, draw a line slightly under your cheekbone from your ear to the middle of your cheek. Also, make sure to blend the line out so it doesn’t look too harsh.

Seasonal trends make a fun way to explore new makeup techniques to determine if you want to add such looks to your beauty routine – or if they’re just a momentary dalliance. In that light, ladies, which fall beauty trends would you like to try?

St. Louis native Elizabeth Giardina pushes the creative envelope as vice president of design for the commercial collection of New York-based womenswear brand Proenza Schouler.

A

s a young girl, Elizabeth Giardina vividly recalls rummaging through her mom’s fashion and style books, taking dance classes at COCA-Center of Creative Arts, going to the Saint Louis Art Museum and seeing professional dance and theater at The Fabulous Fox Theatre and The Muny. “I have wonderful memories of my mom and me at the Missouri Botanical Garden pretending we were Monet and drawing the lily pond with pastel crayons on newsprint paper,” Giardina says. “I have always been endlessly fascinated by creative people, their work and style.”

The St. Louis native and graduate of Washington University in St. Louis’ Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts says all that nourishment and encouragement in the arts led to her career in today’s high-fashion industry. This January, Giardina was named to the role of vice president of design for the commercial collection of award-winning New York-based haute womenswear and accessories brand Proenza Schouler.

Giardina will be in attendance when Proenza Schouler CEO Judd Crane speaks this Wednesday, Oct. 11, at Washington University’s Steinberg Hall. The talk will be moderated by Saint Louis Fashion Fund chair Susan Sherman.

After Giardina spent six years as vice president of design at New York-based designer Derek Lam 10 Crosby, where she helped design the brand’s urban-chic Diffusion line of womenswear and accessories from the ground up, the creative young talent is leading the ready-to-wear design team at the innovative design powerhouse of Proenza Schouler.

“Our co-founders, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, design a beautiful runway collection, and part of my responsibility is to translate

their concepts into commercial product,” Giardina explains. “Additionally, my team and I are focused on designing commercial styles not related to the runway: daywear, eveningwear and casual pieces that will fulfill our customers’ wardrobes.”

Each day for Giardina is fashion-packed and fast-paced – just the way she wants it. “I like to be busy – I hardly ever sit at my desk till 6 p.m., and I generally eat my lunch during a meeting or fitting,” she says. “Every day flies by.”

During a typical workday, Giardina meets with the brand’s woven, knit and print designers; product and fabric development teams; and merchandisers to discuss individual styles and analyze their product assortment. “We have a fitting with the patternmakers and tech designers to develop and fine-tune prototypes,” Giardina says.

Following hectic workdays, Giardina finds time to sketch design ideas during the evenings and weekends. “However, there are isolated periods throughout the year before the prototype stage where my focus for days is just to design: sketch, collage, drape and style vintage clothing on a live model,” she says.

As for her future at Proenza Schouler, Giardina says she is laser-focused on growing the brand’s commercial business. “I am pushing myself to create innovative, commercially viable product,” she says. “If I look at a garment and can honestly answer yes to the question ‘Do I want to have a drink with a woman wearing this?,’ then I generally know it’s a winner.”

GAME ON!

Six Thoughts for ‌Here are half a dozen things on my mind this month:

1.

I think the worst idea in the history of the world is to buy a personal seat license (PSL) for the Los Angeles Rams. At $225,000 a pop, how could anyone think that’s money well spent – especially considering the Rams are the worst team in the league? The amazing thing is that Stan Kroenke’s sincerely counting on these funds to pay for a big chunk of the stadium.

Good luck selling those PSLs, Stan.

2.

It appears the dream of Major League Soccer (MLS) in St. Louis isn’t quite dead yet. The potential St. Louis owners came out to say they’re still willing to invest about $270 million to make this happen, but they still need $60 million from the public.

I certainly agree the city has more important things on its plate, but I also don’t think crime will go down and test scores will go up if the MLS doesn’t happen.

3.

I spent some time with Mark McGwire when he was enshrined in the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame. I’ve never been an advocate for steroid users getting into Cooperstown, even though most of them will. The voting percentages of Barry Bonds and Roger

OCTOBER

Clemens are rising every year, but voters seem to be more accepting nowadays. Although McGwire won’t get into Cooperstown, the fans wanted him in, here in St. Louis. McGwire once told me he used steroids to get on the field again – injuries limiting him to 74 games during the duration of two seasons. I’m not making excuses for him – but rather explaining.

4.

Who’s the most important sports father in our state? The answer is easy: Michael Porter Sr., the father of Michael Porter Jr., who is maybe the best basketball player in America, and his 6-foot-10 brother, Jontay Porter, who could very well join his older brother in the first round of the 2018 NBA draft.

Porter Sr. has three more sons at home who will all likely be absolute studs on the court: Coban, Jevon and Izack. We’re talking about a possible run of 10 more years of Porters playing basketball for Mizzou. No family is perfect, but the impression I got is that mom and dad worked hard to raise these boys with a lot of humility and kindness.

5.

The Cardinals may be living in a Cubs world …

The Cubs are the first team in history to have five guys under the age of 25 with 20 homers. Translated:

By Frank Cusumano

They are really good and really young. However, I think the Cardinals have something unique at shortstop: Paul DeJong. DeJong had a Pujols-like beginning to his career in terms of power. Aledmys Díaz looked the same way last season. I think DeJong could be the starting shortstop and an All-Star for years to come. The Cardinals have never had a power-hitting shortstop. DeJong could be the first.

6.

Underrated things in life: Dan McLaughlin broadcasting Cardinals games, Mike Claiborne hosting a radio talk show, popcorn from Garrett Popcorn Shops out of Chicago, Dennis Beckett teaching kids how to shoot the basketball at the Saint Louis Basketball Academy, bread dipped in great Greek olive oil with pepper and Parmesan cheese, a Lion’s Choice sandwich, a Smoothie King shake and the incredible work done at Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital.

Breast-Feeding Basics for Moms

By Dr. Joseph Kahn

‌M

oms have breast-fed babies for centuries. So it must be easy, right? In reality, breast-feeding can be a big challenge for new moms. Here are four things to remember when deciding whether to breast- or bottle-feed your baby.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help. There’s no shame in admitting you need help. So many people assume breast-feeding is an intuitive process, but like many things, it takes some instruction. Ask your postpartum nurse or the hospital’s lactation consultant for advice. Once home, don’t be afraid to follow up with the hospital’s lactation office for either phone support or an in-person consultation. Lactation consultations, often covered by insurance, can assist in baby achieving a proper latch and getting into a comfortable feeding position. It’s difficult to address questions and concerns before they become problems.

Look for your baby’s cues. For the first few weeks or month, most babies feed every two to three hours. Keep an eye out for signs of hunger, like sucking on hands and rooting around. On-demand feeding is important until a schedule is set to help establish a good milk flow.

Be sure your baby empties your breast. Things can get uncomfortable when your baby doesn’t fully empty your supply. Doing so also helps your milk supply come in well. This may take 15 to 20 minutes on each side. If your baby takes only one breast, that’s OK. Just make sure to start the next feeding on the other side.

The American Academy of Pediatrics also recommends that you hold off on offering a pacifier to your baby – if you plan to offer one at all – until breast-feeding is well established. This usually takes three to four weeks.

Take care of yourself. Take gentle care of yourself. Keep clean, but use a minimal amount of soap. It’s also important to keep yourself dry, which nursing pads can certainly help with. Eat a healthy diet. Drink plenty of fluids, and keep well hydrated. Get as much rest as possible. I know it’s hard to get rest when feeding your baby 10 to 12 times daily, so the adage “Sleep when your baby sleeps” is a good one to try. Before taking any medications, reach out to your doctor and pediatrician, and of course, do not smoke.

Getting to know your newborn and feeding him or her is one of life’s great joys.

Don’t make it too stressful. Enjoy this time. For more breast-feeding resources, visit mercy.net/lnbreastfeedingtips.

Now St. Louisans can immerse themselves in these natural therapies and more under one roof at Radiance Float + Wellness, which opened in August in Brentwood.

The wellness center offers float therapy, cryotherapy, salt therapy (halotherapy), an infrared sauna, a hydromassage lounge chair, an oxygen bar, whole-body vibration, aromatherapy, IV nutrient therapy and vitamin D light therapy.

Radiance is a family business that was founded by a father-anddaughter team: Dr. V.J. Thomas, a geriatric and adult psychiatrist who formerly practiced in Fairview Heights, Illinois, for more than 40 years, and Dr. Zinia Thomas, a child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist who most recently practiced at Spectrum Psychiatry in Frontenac for five years.

Dr. Zinia Thomas Through treating local clients and performing her own research, Zinia Thomas began to see a need in the St. Louis region for natural, safe therapies that complement traditional medicine to improve physical and mental health, as well as prevent illness.

“Stress is increasing in our society,” she says. “We need a way to recover from the effects, and we know that oxygen bar St. Louisans are looking to improve their overall wellbeing in more natural ways.”

Radiance clients, who can book services through the company’s website or by phone, are welcomed into a relaxing and friendly atmosphere upon arriving at the center, Thomas says. Walk-in clients are also welcome. Each guest is provided with custom recommendations

for natural therapy sessions from the staff and Thomas, who also continues to offer psychiatric consultations upon request. “We’re all about education,” she notes.

“We will give tours, and the staff will let you know what to expect and direct you during each session.”

Among the center’s natural-therapy services, float therapy entails a Cryotherapy 60-minute session in a float room, in which 1,000 pounds of Epsom salts keep a client afloat.

Floating removes stimuli, such as light and sound, allowing the client to redirect physical and mental energy inward, Thomas explains.

“Floating has been shown to improve sleep and cognitive function and decrease inflammation, stress and symptoms of anxiety, including post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.” Float sessions are open to adults, as well as children upon consultation.

Another service, cryotherapy, involves one to three minutes of exposure to subzero temperatures (minus 130 to minus 184 degrees) that triggers the release of endorphins for better mental wellbeing, Thomas says.

“Cryotherapy also can activate circulation, infrared sauna decrease inflammation by clearing toxins, enhance anti-aging collagen production and stimulate cellular regeneration for faster healing,” she explains. “Athletes use cryotherapy to improve muscle and injury recovery time.”

The center’s infrared sauna offers 30- to 40-minute sessions that help detoxify the body, improve circulation and cardiovascular health, and reduce pain and stress. “Invisible light penetrates the body and detoxifies it through sweating,” Thomas says. Private hot yoga sessions are also available in the infrared sauna.

Floating has been shown to improve sleep and cognitive function and decrease inflammation, stress and symptoms of anxiety, including post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.

And Radiance’s salt room (halotherapy) allows guests to experience a 30- to 60-minute session of breathing in aerosolized pharmaceuticalgrade salt and a pink Himalayan salt wall, which helps alleviate symptoms of allergies, asthma, depression and stress, as well as skin ailments, such as eczema, psoriasis and acne. “It’s good for your lungs and skin,” Thomas notes. “We also hold yoga and meditation classes in the salt room.”

Halotherapy is safe for both adults and children, she adds.

Vitamin D light therapy

To relieve more stress, clients can recline in the center’s hydromassage lounge chair for a relaxing and healing massage or inhale essential oils during most services or at its oxygen bar.

The center also offers a whole-body vibration service, which uses sound waves to produce vibratory forces that transmit energy to your body to help improve muscle and bone density, Thomas says.

Additionally, Radiance guests can experience vitamin D light therapy and receive IV nutrient therapy.

“Oral absorption of vitamins is only 20 to 30 percent, whereas IV treatments get 100 percent of the nutrients directly into the bloodstream, where they’re more quickly used and last longer,” Thomas notes.

Since it opened, Radiance has seen fellow healers, physical trainers, chiropractors, athletes and even kids taking advantage of its services, she says. “We have had a few kids do float sessions, and it has calmed their hyperactivity and helped them sleep,” says Thomas.

“And many of our chiropractors and personal training clients have commented on how our center is not only a place that promotes health but also heals, such as muscle recovery following sports injuries.”

Because frequent sessions are important to maintain positive results, Thomas says Radiance has weekly and monthly memberships that provide 20 to 35 percent discounts on its services. And the center also offers regular specials, which are promoted on social media.

For October, in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the center is offering free float sessions for domestic Whole-body vibration violence survivors, who can discreetly use the code “SURVIVOR” when booking online or by phone. “People want to maintain their health and prevent illness,” Thomas says. “We want to make these natural therapy treatments accessible to everyone.”

V

illa Duchesne and Oak Hill School (VDOH) is dedicated to creating, supporting, nurturing and celebrating a diverse community. This mission directly reflects the institution’s core values as a Sacred Heart school, established by Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat, who founded the Society of the Sacred Heart. Her vision of educating the whole child and preparing students for lives of faith in God, integrity, leadership and service to others is at the center of the school’s ideology and how its students and staff view the world.

Marty Rubio, a Villa Duchesne social studies teacher, says it’s important for his students to realize they’re a part of a global economy that’s continuing to grow.

“As a college preparatory school, our students are going on to universities and out into the world after that,” he says. “We want them to be oriented to that

52

mindset after high school. We want [our students] to break down barriers and think about humans in general: their dignity and their worth. That’s all part of the Sacred Heart philosophy.”

Since VDOH is part of an international network of Sacred Heart schools, its students and teachers are able to connect with other parts of the world beginning as early as elementary school.

“Grade school kids early on establish pen pals in other countries and do Skype discussions,” Rubio says.

As students go through VDOH, they are presented with travel opportunities and the chance to learn more deeply about other cultures. The school has an international festival, where students each study a country and all come together to celebrate the countries’ cultures. Middle school and high school students are able to participate in an exchange program that both brings in international students and sends VDOH students out into the world.

“Next semester, I’ll have students from Ireland, Hungary, France, Japan and Taiwan in my classes,” Rubio says. “It’s always amazing to have perspectives outside the American bubble.”

Villa Duchesne’s course offerings are as diverse as its programs. Students are able to take classes like the history of the Middle East and a summer seminar in global studies where they can travel abroad.

“All the summer travel programs have an academic component – it’s not just traveling to see monuments and landmarks,” Rubio says. “Teaching our students to be tolerant and accepting of people around the world flows directly out of our mission.”

How doing drugs can sink your custody case St a n g e L a w F i r m , P C

Parties going through a custody case often find the process difficult and emotionally draining. Custody cases often happen in the midst of a break-up. The break-up could be through divorce proceedings. Or, the break-up can occur outside of marriage where parties have children together.

In these times, the stress can be overwhelming.

Unfortunately, many can turn to drugs or alcohol as an escape. For others, they may have used drugs previously in the past. They might have used drugs casually with the knowledge of their spouse or significant other. When the relationship was still intact, the drug use might not have been a major source of dispute between the parties. In some instances, parties may have casually used drugs together.

Obviously, frequent drug use in front of children is not a good thing in any shape, or form. There are many studies that point to this being harmful to children. Without getting into whether casual drug use away from the children is harmful to the children or not, the reality is that a failed drug test in the midst of a custody case can sink it. If a parent is seeking frequent andmeaningfulcontactwiththeirchildren,afaileddrug test can be fatal to the overall outcome. Even where

bothpartieshaveuseddrugsinthepast—butone party is currently passing drug tests while the other isfailing—theresultscanbedisastrousfortheparent who does not presently test clean.

Inmanyinstances,aparent’svisitationmight end up being supervised for a time until several clean drug tests are present. In some cases, the court may want a parent to undergo drug rehabilitation before receiving unsupervised visitation. In some cases, where a parent continually fails drug tests, that parent could ultimately end up with only supervised visitation for the long-term. Importantly, that parent can also end up not being an equal decisionmakerinthelivesoftheirchildreninterms oflegalcustody. Insomecaseswherethedruguse is extreme, parents can even have their parental rights terminated — and the children can end up in the custody of the state.

For all these reasons, it is critical that parents think long and hard before they engage in casual drug use as a parent. At the end of the day, the interests of the children have to come first. The reality is that it can be extremely difficult for anybody to control their drug use even when they are not in the midst of a custody case. However, while in the middle of a custody case and/or court

proceedings, the drug use simply has to stop.

One might question why it’s okay for parties to engage in casual alcohol use, yet they can’t engage in casual drug use, but the reality is that drugs are still illegal in most states. Many judges will simply think the worst (and conclude the drug use is persistent) if a party cannot refrain from using drugs when the custody of their children are at stake. And, for this reason, a failed drug test can figuratively bring down a custody case quicker than the downing of the Titanic. Thus, if you care about your children, and desire frequent and meaningful visitation, you cannot risk failing a drug test.

as around the Lewises’ Cedar Hill home form the décor, including vintage shutters, bedsprings filled with greenery and the front end of a vintage truck mounted on a back wall.

Fixtures from Sweetie Pie’s remaining in the space include some of its dining tables, as well as a St. Louisthemed mural at the entrance. Additional furnishings, such as bar furniture and a communal table in the front room, came from St. Louis’ Goebel & Co. Furniture.

In the kitchen, Rick Lewis works with local ingredients from purveyors like Freshski’s Fine Fresh Foods, Bohlen Farms and Side Lot Farms. Additional products include Buttonwood Farm turkey legs, some pork from Wenneman Meat Co. and Duroc crossheritage breed ribs.

Calling the ribs “fantastic,” Rick Lewis says, “We’re rubbing those with a house blend of spices, and then we’re smoking them over charcoal with a peach glaze.”

Beyond the ribs, Grace Meat + Three serves catfish and fried chicken, with other proteins (turkey legs, say) seasonally inspired. The restaurant, moreover, offers a daily protein that can vary from pan-roasted trout to pulled pork to roast beef.

Such sides as mac ’n’ cheese, marinated beets and rotating varieties of peas and greens lend vibrancy to the menu. An ovo-lacto vegetarian highlight involves country-fried tofu featuring locally made MOFU tofu that’s marinated, breaded, fried and served with mushroom gravy and an egg sunny side up. For dessert, customers can choose from banana pudding, chocolate chess pie and rotating seasonal options such as cobblers.

Nonalcoholic beverages include Excel Bottling soda on tap, Kaldi’s Firepot teas and three types of iced tea: unsweetened, sweetened and a seasonal sweet tea in flavors like ginger-hibiscus. Alcoholic drink options comprise a selection of liquors, four local craft beers on tap, and canned and bottled beers.

race Meat + Three, from husband-and-wife duo Rick and Elisa Lewis, debuted in September in St. Louis’ Forest Park South East neighborhood and showcases their take on Southern cuisine with an emphasis on down-home hospitality in a fast-casual setting.

“Our big focus is on service and being really community-driven,” Rick Lewis says, continuing by describing the cuisine there as “really kind of rustic, refined Southern fare … It’s country food brought to the city for working-class people. It’s like inviting people into our home for lunch.”

Grace Meat + Three fills the approximately 4,000-square-foot space previously occupied by Sweetie Pie’s at the Mangrove and fits approximately 100 guests, including first-come, first-served seating at the bar. The name Grace, of course, both connotes virtue, courtesy and goodwill and denotes a short prayer of thanks before a meal – suited to the Lewises’ take on things.

Elisa Lewis designed the space with a modernized rustic vibe highlighted by a navy blue and gold color scheme and knotty pine accents. Reclaimed materials collected during visits throughout the South as well

Lizzie

Story: In Fall River, Massachusetts, in August 1892, businessman Andrew Borden and his second wife, Abby Durfee Gray Borden, were found murdered in their home. Andrew’s younger daughter, Lizzie, discovered their bodies and summoned the family’s Irish maid, Bridget Sullivan.

When the police arrived, Lizzie gave contradictory explanations for her whereabouts, raising the suspicions of Bridget, who was routinely called Maggie (the name of her predecessor) by Lizzie and her older sister, Emma. Plenty of circumstantial evidence pointed to Lizzie as the killer, and she was charged with the crimes.

She was later acquitted, and no one else ever was prosecuted. Lizzie continued to live in Fall River until her death in 1927, at the age of 66. The killings remain unsolved to this day.

Highlights: New Line Theatre opens its 2017-18 season with a sizzling, sensational rendition of a rock musical built around the infamous 19th-century murder case that became a cause célèbre and part of American folklore.

Other Info: Lizzie features music by Steven CheslikdeMeyer and Alan Stevens Hewitt, lyrics and original concept by Cheslik-deMeyer and Tim Maner, book and additional music by Maner and additional lyrics and orchestrations by Hewitt. The history section on the Lizzie home page notes that “Lizzie began life as a foursong experimental theater/rock show hybrid … in 1990.

Lizzie Borden: An American Musical sprang from Tim and Steven’s love of musicals, Americana, women rockers and late-’80s queer politics.”

Eventually, the show was expanded and refined to focus more on the story narrative for audiences whom the creators realized knew less and less about the Lizzie Borden episode. That culminated in a six-week run for the new version of Lizzie in 2009 in New York City, with the addition of musical contributions by Hewitt.

Maner’s book cleverly weaves details about the actual incident into the story, adding an extra element of believability in this refreshing and energizing musical rendition. New Line artistic director Scott Miller often finds rarely performed or largely unknown nuggets of musical mastery to present to St. Louis audiences. Lizzie fits that description in marvelous fashion.

Lizzie is a delight from start to finish, thanks to the consistently fine efforts of New Line’s quartet of performers onstage, its expert six-piece accompanying band and the carefully defined direction of Mike Dowdy-Windsor. Anna Skidis Vargas delivers a powerful performance as the odd title figure, who fastidiously points out that her full name is “Lizzie (not Elizabeth) Andrew Borden. I was so christened,” the second daughter of a man who wanted a boy but provided his

By Mark Bretz

daughter with his name as part of her own.

Vargas’ strong, beautiful voice wraps itself neatly around a number of tunes in the score, as Lizzie engages in sibling rivalry with her sister, condescends to the feisty maid and exchanges romantic overtures with her coy but passionate neighbor, Alice Russell. She also conveys Lizzie’s peculiar personality, somewhat introverted and less than clear-thinking, with her steady presentation.

Kimi Short bristles effectively as Bridget, displaying her own deep, resonant voice as a woman who sneers resentfully at the Borden sisters’ penchant for referring to her by her predecessor’s name, but takes advantage of their offers of shopping or other gifts to curry her favor.

Marcy Wiegert utilizes her own full-throated vocal abilities on tunes performed by the abrasive Emma, and Larissa White completes the quartet with a rousing interpretation of Alice, who coolly refutes Lizzie’s testimony in the courtroom with her own version of the facts in the case.

Lizzie is full of energy, as well as lively and extremely likable music, with and a quartet of engaging and appealing performances by its players.

Each of the players shines both on solo numbers and in harmony with one or more of the others on duets or ensemble pieces. They have plenty of pulsating, dynamic numbers to perform in the highly charged score, which is reminiscent of Tommy and other driven musicals of theater’s rock era.

In addition to Dowdy-Windsor’s meticulous direction, credit also goes to music director Sarah Nelson for the vital band accompaniment, which is performed at a level low enough not to drown out the singers. Her capable group consists of guitarist D. Mike Bauer, Jake Heberlie on bass, cellist Emily Trista Lane, percussionist Clancy Newell, guitarist/keyboardist Jake Stergos and pianist/conductor Nelson, all situated at the rear of stage left.

Rob Lippert’s set design illustrates the 19th-century home setting, with the simple appearance of a wood frame at stage right and a skeletal house at stage left, all effectively illuminated with his lighting design. Sarah Porter’s girl rock band attire jarringly runs counter to the staid set but wonderfully complements the driving musical score. Alison Helmer provides props and Ryan Day handles sound design.

One minor annoyance is seeing the performers speak through hand mics in their dialogue among one another. The mics necessarily convey the rock concert motif but constitute a bit of a disconnect in the spoken elements – but so it goes.

Lizzie is full of energy, as well as lively and extremely likable music, with a quartet of engaging and appealing performances by its players. Add it to the rich artistic trove of adaptations and interpretations of one of America’s enduring criminal stories.

o mention artwork predominantly targeting children instantly risks slighting that work en masse. The shuddery grotesqueries of Heinrich Hoffmann? Yes! The whipcord magnificence of Arthur Rackham? Again, yes! The gorgeous intricacies of Edmund Dulac? Once more, yes! But one could go on and on. What of John Tenniel, Rose O’Neill and John R. Neill, for instance? What of Maurice Sendak, Leo and Diane Dillon and St. Louis’ Mary Engelbreit?

For that matter, what of Ladue’s own Dayne Sislen?

The deliciously whimsical work showcased here, created last year for a children’s book Sislen’s writing and illustrating, bears the title Whiff the Curious and Friends and measures 8.5 by 11 inches. Sislen pauses briefly in her work to satisfy … well … curiosity about that painting.

“It was painted with digital watercolor brushes in Adobe Photoshop,” she relates. “For several years, I painted illustrations with real watercolors, but I quickly learned my lesson. With all the changes that need to be made in the publishing industry, digital brushes make more sense.

“This illustration came about when I entered a mythical creature design competition online. I didn’t win the competition, but I fell in love with my little dragon creation, called Whiff. So I started to write a story to go with him. In the original illustration, he was roasting marshmallows using his fiery breath. Later, I exchanged the marshmallows for a kite and added some friends.”

Despite the whimsical nature of Whiff the Curious and Friends, Sislen’s academic and vocational background, frankly, embraces whimsy in no way, shape or form.

From Washington University in St. Louis’ school of fine arts, she earned an associate’s degree; from Maryville University, a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

Sislen then worked for the now-defunct Stolz Advertising agency, starting as junior art director and graphic designer before being promoted to senior art director and vice president. She then served as a consultant designer for Hughes Advertising (now called HLK, a shortening of HughesLeahyKarlovic) and taught graphic design and illustration at Maryville as adjunct faculty.

“In 2009, after 40 years in the advertising business,” says Sislen, “I decided to devote myself to illustrating children’s books.

“I love illustrating for children. As a young child, I spent many delightful hours studying the illustrations in picture books and pretending to read the books using the illustrations for clues. As an adult illustrator, I want to bring that same joy to other children.

“When I worked in advertising, I always had to be an adult. My illustrations and layouts were about selling products. Now, I love to let my inner child loose and really use my imagination when I illustrate. It’s fun to be a kid again.”

Ultimately, that reflection revisits the publishing context of the kite-flying, potbellied firedrake and Whiff’s shellbound buds.

“I also illustrate children’s stories for other authors,” says Sislen. “I’ve illustrated eight books for other authors, and I’m working on No. 9. I love what I do and think children’s book authors are some of the most fun

people to be around and work with. It’s quite a change from the high-pressure world of advertising.

“Children’s picture books are important. Children are the building blocks of our future. What better way to spend my time? I love creating the visual stories and fantasy that help children learn about the world around them.”

Fret-Filled, but SCarCeLy

The St. Louis Classical Guitar Society welcomes new leadership and, in its latest season, an exciting, international lineup of guest musicians.

E

ddie Ate Dynamite, yet lived to tell the tale.

That odd independent clause – the first half of a common mnemonic for the E, A, D, G, B, E progression of a guitar’s open strings – may well prompt a fleeting collective smile from the St. Louis Classical Guitar Society at a pleasantly explosive moment, as it both greets a new executive director and starts a new season boasting a roster of mind-boggling musical talent.

“Being appointed director of the nation’s third-oldest guitar society added a lot of perspective to my life,” reveals Kevin Ginty, who began leading the organization on July 1 and who adds that it ranks junior only to Valley Glen, California’s American Guitar Society and the Seattle Classic Guitar Society.

“This is an institution that has existed for a long time before me and will hopefully exist for a long time after me. To have the opportunity to guide the direction of such a legacy is truly exciting.”

For having “all the pieces in place for the 2017-18 season,” which commences Saturday, Oct. 7, and runs through April 14, Ginty credits his predecessor, William Ash. “There are still small details to iron out as the concerts come closer, but there was no mad dash in terms of season planning when I started,” Ginty says.

According to the society’s newsletter, Ash, after leading the society for almost four decades, recently became its director of education; in that capacity, he’ll also serve as a general advocate for the society in the community and assist in fundraising.

The society’s latest season features six musical acts exhibiting the diversity of the guitar family of instruments, which ranges from the currently resurgent ukulele through something of a miniature “B suite” (the freakish-looking Russian balalaika, the Spanish bandurria or bandore, and the common banjo) to the pear-shaped, flat-backed cittern.

Forming the society’s seasonal playbill are native Minnesotan Xavier Jara on Oct. 7; the Beijing Guitar Duo (Meng Su and Yameng Wang, both born in Qingdao, China) on Nov. 11; The Kithara Duo (transplanted Belarusian Olga Amelkina-Vera and Houstonite Fernand Vera) on Dec. 2; Peru native Jorge Caballero on Jan. 27; Columbus, Ohio-born Paul O’Dette with West Virginia native Ronn McFarlane on March 10; and Cuban immigrant Manuel Barrueco on April 14.

Given the guest musicians’ geographic dispersal, Ginty admits to facing logistical complications surrounding their individual visits here, despite Ash’s groundwork.

“In brief, there’s airfare, lodging, meals and ground transportation needed for each artist,” he says.

“If they’re coming directly from overseas, then visa paperwork adds another layer of complication.

“We do have a wonderful sponsor, The Cheshire Inn, which provides hotel rooms for us, as well as a network of volunteers who can help with transportation around town. Those things help take some of the weight off our shoulders.”

Academically, of course, Ginty can lay claim to fairly broad shoulders. More specifically, he holds both a bachelor’s degree in guitar performance and a master’s degree in arts administration from Florida State University, for whose own classical guitar society he served as co-founder and president. Prior to that, he attended high school at the distinguished Las Vegas Academy of the Arts.

Toward the end of his third quarter as the St. Louis Classical Guitar Society’s executive director, incidentally, Ginty will face one joyous complication exclusive of his duties – a walk down the aisle with a lady named Bailey Salinero in Florida, between the penultimate and ultimate concerts of the society’s season.

“Yes, my beautiful fiancée and I had a spring wedding set prior to our knowledge of the season schedule,” he confesses happily. “It’ll be a busy few weeks in March and April, but the work will be fulfilling. With a little help from friends and family, I should be able to keep the anxiety low and happiness high!”
