In covering it, which feature of the LN Show House most intrigued you (see p. 32)?

SARAH KLOEPPLE I absolutely love the Show House’s breakfast nook. With a bold, geometric wallpaper and a deep-blue butler’s pantry, designer David Deatherage added a fun and modern twist to the historic home’s interior.

DENISE KRUSE As someone who lives in grayscale, I loved the bold use of color throughout – Vicki Dreste’s signature paints in the living room, patterned wallpapers – I’ll be filling my winter with home projects for sure.

NANCY ROBINSON I was most intrigued by the classic architectural style of

slsc.org

this turn-of-the-century home. It just doesn’t get any better, especially in this era of uninspired McMansions.

I thought the home was an outstanding choice for this year’s event.

EDITOR ‌WHEN I WAS A KID, I LOVED READING MAGAZINES AND TYPING stories on my mom’s typewriter, but it didn’t occur to me until later in life that I wanted to write and share stories for a living. Some kids, though, find their talents and passions at a young age – in Gabe Fleisher’s case, he’s known his calling since the early age of 10.

In this week’s The Daily feature, LN staff writer extraordinaire Bryan A. Hollerbach shares the story of Fleisher, now a 15-year old, whose passion is government and politics. Starting on p. 56, this feature is one about passion for local, national and international politics, and truly gives you hope for future generations.

If you are an avid reader of Ladue News, you know that our Gatherings & Goodwill section is devoted to showcasing local organizations and nonprofits dedicated to making this world a better place. Now, Ladue News is hoping to give back as well by partnering with Blacktie Missouri.

Together, Ladue News and Blacktie Missouri, which is operated by the Foundation for Commercial Philanthropy, have created Together for Hunger in the St. Louis region. This means that with every event covered through this humanitarian organization, 15 meals will be provided to those in need. Annually, we can accomplish serving more than 4,000 meals to those in our community.

St. Louis has the state’s highest food insecurity rate, at more than 25 percent, and Ladue News is proud to do its part in helping our community fight hunger – and we hope you support us in this fight for such a worthy cause.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

T

omorrow, SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital will host its first-ever Glennon Glow gala. Cardinal Glennon has been brightening the lives of kids for more than 60 years, and this gala will celebrate that.

Executive director Sandy Koller says sportscaster Bob Costas will be hosting the event and was thrilled to join Cardinal Glennon to celebrate. The gala will take place at The Chase Park Plaza and is a black-tie affair. Koller says that since the night is about brightening the lives of children, the theme is “glow in the dark.” Entertainment will include comedian and magician Justin Willman.

The Glennon Award, designed to give public recognition to individuals and/or organizations that have made significant contributions to the health and welfare of children, will be given to Jerry and Peggy Ritter. The award is the highest form of recognition given by Cardinal Glennon and is presented as worthy recipients are identified and selected.

“It’s not given out every year,” Koller says. “Its given out to community volunteers or organizations that have demonstrated leadership for the benefit of children” Past recipients have included Pope John Paul II, McDonald’s and Anheuser-Busch.

“Jerry Ritter has served on the Board of

14

noveMBer 4, 2016 | LadueNews.com

Governors since 1978 and Peggy has been an integral part of the Costas benefit committee for 26 years,” Koller says.

Proceeds from the Glennon Glow will help renovate the fourth floor of the hospital, which is the inpatient cancer unit. It’s an original part of the building, built in 1956. Renovations will help convert the space to a beach theme with private bathrooms, as well as add 18 new patient rooms. Currently, parents of kids staying at the hospital don’t have a place to spend the night, so updates will include sleeper sofas.

“These are our most sick kids,” Koller says. “This will help us create a better healing environment for them.”

Koller says making these renovations a reality has been in the works for some time, as the hospital had been hearing parents’ and patients’ recommendations.

“We would really like the space to mirror the excellent health care we provide,” she says.

Cardinal Glennon was recently ranked by U.S. News & World Report for cancer services and is a leader in hematology and oncology.

“For those families who don’t have the ability to pay, we provide care,” Koller says. “Continuing that legacy the sisters started 60 years ago is important for the heart of Cardinal Glennon.”

Lambert-St. Louis International Airport

ART OF TRAVEL GALA

Photos and story by David Anderson

he Art of Travel toasted The Dawn of St. Louis Aviation in ’20s style. Just as the 1920s began to famously “roar,” an airport was born to soar – connecting St. Louis to the world. The airport’s premier fundraiser for art at the airport showcased a mix of food, entertainment and art to support the Lambert Art and Culture Program. The event included exclusive handcrafted copper jewelry from artists Roger Rimel, Jenny Walker, Peg Fetter and Leia Zumbro. Each of them repurposed pieces of the historic copper roof into elegant wearable art.

It also featured a new stunning print by St. Louis illustrator and designer Carlos Zamora. The event was co-chaired by Cabanne Schlafly Howard and Jim Howard, Jessica and Jacob Herschend, and Juliana and Carlos Zamora.

he 7th annual KaleidoHope Gala held by Gateway to Hope lived up to its name as it lit up the Khorassan Ballroom of The Chase Park Plaza Hotel with pinks and purples. Guests were greeted by stilt walkers, and enjoyed three signature cocktails while browsing silent and live auction items along with raffles and a photo booth. Some guests even had a pink streak added to their hair. During the program two well-deserved nurse managers received the Gateway to Hope visionary Award, Christine Lyss and Jane Roodman Weiss. Gateway to Hope has grown to support the needs and care of individuals diagnosed or at high risk of developing breast cancer, since its founding by Dr. David Caplin and Dr. Marlys Schuh in 2005.

his year marked the 11th annual CUREiosity party, which was held at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis downtown in support of the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center. Since its debut in 2006, CUREiosity has numbered among the most-anticipated yearly VIP bashes here, and this year’s event was as extravagant as ever. More than 300 guests attended it. CUREiosity celebrated the “Rock Docs” making a difference at Siteman, as well as cutting-edge “Rock Star Research.” This year’s top docs were Dr. Gavin Dunn, Dr. Monica Shokeen, Dr. Majella Doyle and Dr. Michael Naughton. Co-chairing the event were Dr. Erin Shannon, Jacob Herschend and Sarah Garlich.

This event is important because it helps raise funds that help to support doctors perform cutting-edge research and technology to cure and eventually end all cancers. We are so fortunate to have Siteman Cancer Center in our own backyard doing this research!

The Snow Foundation is a voice for a rare disease, working toward a cure for Wolfram syndrome and developing novel therapies for diabetes, vision loss, hearing loss and neurodegeneration.

Though Wolfram syndrome has no cure, The Snow Foundation’s researchers now know the appropriate measures to use in a clinical trial, and that’s the next step. The future of these trials hangs on the group’s funding. For more information, visit thesnowfoundation.org or call 636-448-4134. Pictured above are Stephanie Snow Gebel and Dr. Saad Naseer.

FIGHTING The Snow FoundaTion

Cure f a for

olfram syndrome afflicts only about one in 500,000 people, but a local organization is doing everything it can to bring the numbers down and find a way to cure this incurable disease.

As described on The Snow Foundation’s website, Wolfram syndrome is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that starts with insulin-dependent diabetes in early childhood. Unlike with common types of diabetes, these children go on to develop blindness, deafness and other neurologic disturbances. Since there’s no cure for the disease, more than 60 percent of patients die before the age of 30.

The Snow Foundation’s dedication to research has led the group to a new and exciting stage: the firstever worldwide clinical trial for Wolfram syndrome.

For the past few years, the foundation’s researchers have been focused on pre-clinical testing, but after

26

Pictured are Dr. Fumihiko Urano, Stephanie Snow Gebel, co-founder of The Snow Foundation, and Dr. Saad Naseer

receiving unconditional institutional review-board approval, they are now ready to begin clinical testing.

Dr. Saad Naseer, chief executive and chief medical officer of the foundation, says all the money from charitable donations is paying off.

“We plan on beginning the clinical trial in January,” he says. “All patients will receive the same dose of the same medication and will be monitored in the same manner. The patients will serve as their own control.”

Naseer notes that if the foundation can figure out a treatment for this form of diabetes, the treatment will be able to help all forms of diabetes.

“These kids lose their vision and hearing; it’s a premature and accelerated degenerative process,” he says. “And although there is no cure, our work may lead to therapies for this and other neurodegenerative processes such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.”

Washington University in St. Louis will be the epicenter of the trial, though it will include Wolfram

syndrome patients from all over the world, including France, Brazil, England, Spain, Italy and Jordan.

“This all comes down to funding,” Naseer says.

“Clinical trials cost millions of dollars. It’s been tough, but our results keep coming back positive, and we have an overwhelming amount of interest in participating in this clinical trial. I think if we’re able to get a large donor, it would ensure that more patients are successfully treated in an expedited manner.”

The Snow Foundation doesn’t have an office or salaries, so every single dollar goes directly to research.

“This is a David-and-Goliath kind of story,” Naseer says. “We’re small and underfunded, but I think with the right motivation and intention, we can go far in bettering the lives of these children.”

Design DESTINATION LONDON, ENGLAND

By Sarah Kloepple

L

ondon ranks as one of the world’s oldest and greatest cities, as well as the second most-traveled destination in the world – beat only

by Bangkok, making it the most-visited city in Europe. Situated in southeastern England along the River Thames, the city has evolved into a cosmopolitan destination, as demonstrated by its high-end fashion district and contemporary architecture – is the unorthodox design of The Gherkin building coming to mind?

From its Roman beginnings, London has developed through a medieval period wrought with tragedy, countless monarchs and wars before evolving into the global destination it is today – even hosting the Summer Olympics in 2012.

Top landmarks to visit include Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and Big Ben. Priceless art and theater abound, from the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square to Shakespeare’s (replica) Globe Theatre. Here are three London-inspired must-haves for your abode.

NEEDLEPOINT THROW PILLOW The traditional needlepoint pillow gets a modern twist with this regal print. It’s hard not to notice the queenly sensibility that even Elizabeth II would find chic. $165, available through Jonathan Adler (jonathanadler.com)

STOOL This charming hexagonal stool, with its plush look and brushed-nickel trim, is perfect for any room that needs an old English touch. $394, available through

HEMPSTEAD SOFA TABLE Mix one of today’s most popular color combinations – black and gold – with this timeless, dramatic design, and you get a sofa/console table worthy of any posh London flat. $2,549, available through Ethan Allen (ethanallen.com)

S

ome of St. Louis’ most creative and celebrated interior designers are transforming 12 rooms and spaces inside the 2016 Ladue News Show House at 4388 Westminster Place, a historic property built in 1897 in the Central West End. The following previews share a behind-thescenes look at four spaces of the Show House – the music room, the third-floor landing, the bonus room and the landscape – and the designers’ visions and plans for them. The Show House celebrated its preview party Oct. 20; it opened to the public on Oct. 22 and runs through this Sunday, Nov. 6.

Pick up the Nov. 11 issue to read about the Show House’s big reveal. To learn more about the Show House or to buy tickets to the public viewing, visit laduenews.com.

Music Room DESIGNERS: Anne Smith and Liz McGovern of June Roesslein Interiors When Anne Smith and Liz McGovern of June Roesslein Interiors walked into the airy third-floor room with a western-facing window overlooking a lush maple-tree view and a classic front-facing dormer window, a vision of a relaxing music room began to take shape. “You feel like you’re in a treehouse,” Smith says. The team wrapped the space in a dreamy palette of soft blues and neutrals, with an antique harp and Ralph Lauren crocodileembossed leather drink cart not only adding statement pieces but also setting the tone for the space’s purpose.

“It’s a respite from the hurried lifestyle we all lead,” McGovern says.

June Roesslein Interiors, 10411 Clayton Road, No. 206, Frontenac, 636-394-1465, juneroesslein.com

A custom-built window seat below the dormer window features plush throw pillows and beckons visitors to relax, while providing additional seating to open up the space for music appreciation and conversation.

Sharp corners are softened by adding greenery.

Walls, trim and ceiling are all painted in Sherwin-Williams’ Casablanca, using a satin eggshell finish on the walls and ceiling and a semigloss on the trim to provide textural depth without the visual interruption of contrasting colors.

The room is anchored by a hand-knotted round IndoPeshwar rug featuring soft blues and creams, which also was the source for the space’s color inspiration.

The harp is an antique Lyon & Healy, on loan from a member of the St. Louis Harp Society.

SHOW

ln HOuSe A circular burl-veneered quartered top-and-quatrefoil-base table anchors the space while providing a pedestrian roundabout of sorts to prevent traffic jams in and out of the third-floor rooms.

A chandelier above the landing’s table features polished brass original to the house. The designers then added silk shades.

To make up for the lack of space for furnishings, Smith and McGovern took advantage of available walls in this transition space, adding both an oversized antique goldleaf mirror and bronzed metallicgold rosettes to the walls.

A Mahal design hand-knotted rectangular Indo-Peshwar rug sets the tone for the space with soothing shades of tan, blue and cocoa.

Third-Floor Landing DeSIGneRS: Anne Smith and Liz McGovern of June Roesslein Interiors In the approach to the third-floor landing from the staircase, the rectangular transition space is flanked by doors to various rooms on all sides. Designers Anne Smith and Liz McGovern of June Roesslein Interiors saw an opportunity not only to warm up the space (to enable it to stylistically flow with the majestic design of the rest of the home) but also to add furniture (to strategically direct traffic flow from the stairwell and through the landing to all four rooms on the third-floor). With a tan, blue and cocoa palette, the landing provides an aesthetic preview to the design duo’s similarly imagined music room.

Bonus Room DeSIGneR: Gigi Lombrano of Gigi Lombrano Interiors With a two-rooms-in-one scenario, the bonus room was a daunting design challenge, even for Show House veteran Gigi Lombrano of Gigi Lombrano Interiors. “I wanted to create a unified space, so I decided to divide and conquer,” Lombrano says. “I had to designate different zones and uses for each room and, from there, create a usable, workable space that would highlight the best features of the rooms and accommodate all the quirks!” The tandem spaces have been given a different personality and functionality, creating both a lounge area and a study area, which Lombrano then ties together by repeating certain key elements within the two rooms to bring her vision to life: Dorothy Draper meets Mary MacDonald – light and fresh, with modern, daring accents and artwork intermingled with a little Hollywood glam.

Gigi Lombrano Interiors, 314-707-7291, houzz.com/pro/gigilombrano/gigi-lombrano-interiors

Yellow, Lombrano predicts, will be the new darling for accent colors.

She puts this design prophecy to the test with yellow tones in the room’s area rug and window treatments.

An emerald-colored Lillian August chest was one of the springboards of Lombrano’s design – one fall trend she cites is a neutral ground with bold pops of color, which this standout piece certainly brings to life.

A Greek key design is repeated in the chest, desk, throws and pendant, lending a bit of thematic continuity to a room rich with bold accent pieces.

The lounge area juxtaposes classic glam – a textured sectional from KDR Designer Showrooms and zebra-print Queen Anne armchair, topped with a crown – with the contemporary angles of the Halo acrylic armchair by Century Furniture.

Landscape DeSIGneR: Jim Graeler of Chesterfield Valley Nursery

With outdated and overgrown landscaping that he felt ill fitted the house’s beautiful external architectural features, Jim Graeler and the team at Chesterfield Valley nursery felt it best to work with a blank slate. “Our plan was to remove all that was there and create something that showcased the beauty of the home, [giving] it more of a warm, elegant feel,” Graeler says.

The landscape design team added lush evergreens, such as green giant arborvitae trees and blue maid holly. Japanese maples, hydrangeas and fall mums add a touch of brightness to traditional elegant boxwood.

Plus, we have the production capacity to handle any workload.

osby Building Arts continually ranks among the top architectural and design companies in St. Louis. The company’s success centers on devoting itself to constantly communicating with clients and originating designs based on clients’ personalities and needs. “Over the years, Mosby has consistently grown,” Jack Culian, design build business manager, says. “In doing so, we have added key advantages for clients, such as an in-house licensed architect, client experience coordinator and financing options.”

The business launched in 1947 under Sam Mosby.

His son, Scott, purchased it in 1983 and converted it into a design build business, naming it Mosby Building Arts in 1994. “Mosby Building Arts has received many awards over the years for top design, customer service and places to work in St. Louis.

Scott has been a host of a home-improvement show on KMOX, and in 2014, Mosby Building Arts

was named ‘Remodeler of the Year’ by Professional Remodeler magazine,” Culian boasts.

The creative force behind Mosby Building Arts keeps clients informed and involved every step of the way while translating beautiful, innovative designs inside their homes. “The consultants and designers spend a lot of time learning about clients’ needs, wants and lifestyles,” Culian explains.

“Clients are involved in the selections process and with alterations made along the way to improve the design. Without this type of relationship, it’s challenging to add personalization.”

This diverse team of inspired minds collaborates to rebuild a space that is reflective of the family that owns it. “Personalization makes a house your home.

Its appearance is what most represents you and your family. Its characteristics mimic the behaviors and lifestyles of your family. Your home is where you should find comfort, safety and a sense of reflection,” Culian says.

The project seen here evokes a radiant ambiance

through contemporary comfort, with elements that seek to be neither masculine nor feminine.

“These clients bought a builder-grade home with the intention of going room to room and adding personalization. They both agreed on an arts-andcrafts style because of its neutrality, and the copper tub was chosen as the bathroom’s showstopper. It was that something that gave the room a real wow factor,” Culian reveals.

Each project aims to knock people back with stunning design, and Mosby Building Arts’ high level of satisfied clients proves the company knows how to deliver. “We have a 95 percent on-time completion rate,” Culian says. “Our professional design services, including an architect on staff, 10-year workmanship warranty and proactive project communication, with a dedicated client service department, ensure customer satisfaction.”

brick-paved path leads you to this home in the Central West End that at one time rivaled Gatsby’s with its reputation as the apex of society gatherings. This rare Golden Era mansion shares a storied past worthy of the gossip. Leona Byrd gave her shocking rendition of the 1905 No. 1 song “Give My Regards to Broadway” while puffing on a cigarette inside these halls, causing a reprint of the social registry! With a true Renaissance man as its previous owner, the home has been updated and restored in superior fashion. Meander through the center hall, peeking in at the gentlemen’s parlor or formal dining room, featuring a caterer’s alcove that opens up to the side veranda. Wander back to the marvelously designed kitchen, showcasing original St. Charles cabinets and state-of-the-art appliances. Incredible updates and exquisite attention to detail are found throughout the expansive manse, from the master suite to the carriage house. Prepare yourself for a “helluva” good time at No. 37.

Beauty How-To’s

‌H

By Kimmie Gotch

ave you ever wondered how to get rid of dark circles under your eyes or how often to clean makeup brushes enduring everyday wear and tear? Well, wonder no more – read on!

How to rid yourself of under-eye circles. I wish some magical way existed to make pesky under-eye circles disappear, but that’s not the case. Luckily, several available products can mask such circles.

Although supposedly putting a light-colored concealer on the circles will hide purple and blue tones, that doesn’t really work. Instead, use an orange or salmon corrector. Orange tones, especially, neutralize purples and blues that appear on the skin.

After the corrector, also apply a standard concealer on top of it. This combination not only corrects but also conceals dark circles beautifully.

How to choose a foundation color. A common misconception holds that your foundation should be based on your complexion. No. To find the perfect pigmented foundation, choose a shade closest to the tone of your neck.

Why? Well, the coloration of a woman’s face rarely matches that of her neck because of differences in solar exposure; so even if your foundation doesn’t match your face perfectly, rest assured your face and neck won’t be two different shades.

The goal remains having a seamless color from your face to your neck.

How often to wash makeup brushes. The frequency of washing makeup brushes may well vary from woman to woman, but a good rule of thumb targets once a month. If your brushes endure everyday use, wash them when a buildup clearly begins to form.

Also, if breakouts appear on your face, wash your brushes more often to prevent dermal bacteria from spreading.

The best time to wash your face. Many people believe washing the face in the morning to be unnecessary after properly washing and moisturizing it the night before. Here again, not the case.

When you sleep, your skin works to renew itself, eliminating impurities that surface during slumber. But bacteria can collect on pillowcases, which then can transfer to your face – another reason to wash it in the morning.

St. Louis native Erica Dunk’s Hyper Haute offers extravagant, one-of-a-kind jewelry.

F

rom British Vogue to Vibe, Saint Louis Fashion Week to Missouri Style Week, Erica Dunk’s Hyper Haute jewelry has appeared in international magazines, on models strutting down highprofile runways and even on Hollywood’s biggest celebrities, including pop star Kesha.

Dunk is the one-woman machine fueling St. Louis-based Hyper Haute since 2009. Inspired by her “inner queen,” the St. Louis native designs and handcrafts upscale, avant-garde bracelets, earrings, necklaces, rings and headpieces that work double-duty as high-fashion statement jewelry and dramatic wearable art. “I am designing for confident women who love to have fun with their look,” Dunk says. “My typical customer is a successful and power-driven woman who has a freespirited side. Most of them are entrepreneurs and bosses in the corporate world. They have an edgy side to them that they aren’t afraid to show – and I love that!”

While Dunk was earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in fashion design and marketing at American InterContinental University’s Los Angeles campus, she essentially taught herself how to make jewelry by examining how pieces she owned were made. “Then, I had bigger ideas than anything I owned, so I just found random things that struck my eye and relied solely on my creativity to make it work,” she says. After graduating from college and returning home to St. Louis, Dunk further refined her craft by taking metal classes at Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design.

Dunk’s jewelry-making quickly grew from a hobby in February 2009 into a business by April of that year after Paul Mitchell The School-St. Louis took interest in her designs, which were on display at a local hair show. Soon, she set up shop in her home basement, where she still designs, hand-makes, packages and sells her pieces, which are available by contacting her on social media, at Hyper Haute’s website, via email at erica@ hyperhaute.com and at local women’s clothing boutique Rung.

As she aims to build a luxury-lifestyle brand, Dunk strives to create jewelry to reflect the “queen” in each of her customers. “I want to make pieces that look as though they belong in Vogue magazine or could be sold on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, but I want them to have a very distinct style to them so people know or learn it’s a Hyper Haute piece,” Dunk explains, describing her creations as upscale costume jewelry that, again, doubles as avant-garde wearable art. Designing this type of larger-than-life jewelry that tells a story has become therapeutic, Dunk adds: “My emotions pour right out into my work. There are things in my life I’d rather just put into art than I would into words.”

Dunk’s design process often begins with an epiphany in the middle of the night, followed by days or weeks of research, experiments with different designs, then a culmination of a mixture of those ideas. Her pieces, which are made of materials such as brass, stainless steel crystals, pearls and chains, as well as less traditional items such as sheet metal, broken mirrors, hardware,

and repurposed and found objects, take anywhere from a few hours to days to complete, depending on complexity. Each Hyper Haute piece isn’t just an accessory – it’s an outfit in itself, Dunk says. For example, one of Dunk’s pieces of jaw-dropping jewelry was a crystal-and-metal necklace that showcases a collar with strands draping down the wearer’s chest and back all the way to the waist.

Clients also can contact Dunk to work with her to create custom jewelry.

“I am kind of obsessed with my custom customers – it really becomes a bonding time,” she says. “They can have as little or as much say in the process as they’d like. I love to see their creative wheels turning – they are all my soulmates.” Honesty is the key, Dunk notes, as she ensures each client ends up with a piece he or she is “over the moon” about. “I want them to be obsessed with their piece and excited to walk into their event and show it off!” says Dunk. “I want them to have no shame in saying they had it custommade and participated in the process. That’s a luxury and lifestyle I am always passionate about providing my customers.”

Hyper Haute’s most popular pieces include shackle cuffs, ear cuffs, functional chain-lock necklaces and magnifying-glass necklaces. “Customers often react with a ‘wow’ or shock factor, followed by an extreme sense of excitement,” Dunk recalls.

The jewelry company has continued to grow through the years as a result of networking – and lots of hard work, Dunk says, adding that Rung boutique’s female artist program, Craft Alliance’s Fashion Lab and RAW St. Louis’ artist showcases have garnered local and national exposure for Hyper Haute. “I also teamed up with an amazing woman, Barbara Lane from The Lane Style House, who aligned me with Kesha’s stylist and British Vogue,” she notes.

To channel their “inner queen,” customers can pick up new pieces such as black-magic necklaces and ghost earrings from Hyper Haute’s latest collection – Haunted – released this Halloween.

With that said, I’ve decided to hypothetically take over management of the St. Louis Cardinals, and here’s my off-season game plan: Wake up every day thinking one thing: Get on the Cubs’ level.

Explain to the DeWitt family that we may need to overspend on a few players. Currently, we don’t have the Major League talent or the most Minor League talent for that matter. What we do have is a surplus of money because of our incredible fan base and new localtelevision contract – hence, we can afford it.

Call the Tampa Bay Rays, and ask about Jake Odorizzi’s availability. He is 26 years old and just went 10-6 on a bad team with 187 innings and a 3.69 earned run average. He’s a solid middle-of-the-rotation starter you can build around.

Consider my starting rotation, which, for next season would be Carlos Martinez, Alex Reyes, Lance Lynn, Adam Wainwright and Mike Leake. If Waino is the No. 4 starter, you are pretty good. No team in baseball will have two more gifted right arms than Martinez and Reyes.

Keep Matt Carpenter at first and Aledmys Diaz at short. Have Kolten Wong, Jedd Gyorko and Jhonny Peralta share second and third base – and pray Wong hits enough. So those are my moves. My work is done. You’re improving the lineup with two explosive bats while improving the pitching with a quality young arm. You’re spending money and getting closer to the Cubs.

Call the Colorado Rockies, requesting they look at our Major League roster in exchange for Charlie Blackmon. I would offer Luke Weaver, Matt Adams and Jack Flaherty. Although the Rockies will likely turn the offer down (even with two promising pitchers in it), they’ll come back with something.

Fifty Years Ago

A

recent survey conducted by the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan, showed that 55 percent of adults believe children today have more stress, less family time and poorer emotional and mental health than those of previous generations.

That belief poses a problem. Contemporary medical care continues to improve, with many diseases prevented by immunization and medication therapy, and better surgical techniques save lives that would have been lost one or two generations ago.

Yet according to that survey, overall health is still perceived to be worse, a belief commonly held by baby boomers (ages 51 to 69), Gen Xers (ages 35 to 50) and millennials (ages 18 to 34) – the parents and grandparents of today’s children.

What contributes to this perception, whether founded or not in reality? Many believe a change in lifestyle, diet and activity has led to a decline in well-being.

As a baby boomer, closer to the upper end of that age range than the lower, I couldn’t

For one thing, from about fifth grade on, I walked or rode my bike the 15 or so city blocks to my school.

That doesn’t happen much these days because of safety concerns.

Also, my family rarely went out to dinner – maybe once or twice monthly – because we ate together at the kitchen table. And we never ate fast food.

Similarly, my friends and I didn’t turn on the TV, computer or tablet during the day. (Admittedly, the last two didn’t yet exist when I was a boy.) As long as the sun was shining, we were outside playing.

So times have changed, arguably not for the better in many ways. But on the other hand, parents today don’t worry about their kids getting polio, the “cure” rate for many previously fatal childhood cancers has now risen to 90 percent, and car seats save lives.

Fundamentally – and demonstrably – no one knows whether things are better or worse, but they certainly are different.

Election Daze LocaL poLiticaL pundit Gabe FLeisher has been FoLLowinG the cLinton-trump cLash quite cLoseLy – aLL whiLe attendinG middLe schooL.

O

ne of the metro area’s most perspicacious and dedicated political analysts won’t be voting this coming Tuesday.

Why? Well, Gabe Fleisher, the analyst in question, won’t turn 15 – let alone 18, as specified by the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which lowered the voting age from 21 – until Election Day. In the meantime, as he has most weekdays since 2011 and as he likely will continue to do after Tuesday, Fleisher (the son of Rabbi Randy and Amy Fleisher) will write, edit and transmit to roughly 1,700 select and discerning subscribers an e-newsletter now titled Wake Up to Politics that scrutinizes D.C. doings in all their scurrility.

Astonishingly, the newsletter’s subscription roll grew to that number from a single “subscriber,” his mother, to whom Fleisher initially was transmitting a morning email packed with political news, just for fun, before school. That email subsequently also started going to his father, then friends of his parents – and then its readership snowballed.

When asked to characterize the current presidential contest in a single phrase, the University City ninth-grader chooses something a bit more judicious than scurrilous, incendiary or any of dozens of other adjectives that might apply.

“Exciting,” says Fleisher. “I covered the 2012 election, but this one has been such a great opportunity to grow in my skills as a reporter. I’ve attended debates, interviewed candidates and just watched along as the unpredictability of the election has unfolded.”

He continues by reflecting on current trends that most cheer and depress him.

“This election has been a great one to be writing about politics,” Fleisher says. “In reading comments from my subscribers, I can sense a real increased level of interest in politics, which is a lot of fun – and something I hope extends beyond this election, as a well-informed electorate is integral in a democracy.

“However, the low voter-turnout trends in recent years are unfortunate, as are low civic scores by students. I hope my generation is the one to get involved, get informed and get to voting booths.”

After politely and succinctly dismissing an admittedly chowderheaded characterization of Wake Up to Politics as an aggregator, Fleisher provides insights into its production, which has sometimes included special features like interviews with retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman

Schultz, who chaired the Democratic National Convention from 2011 to 2016.

“The newsletter is generally made up of a few different parts: any news that has occurred since yesterday’s newsletter that I deem important and have time to write about; what the president, congress and the candidates are doing that day; and a trivia question,” states Fleisher. “There are no excerpts from other news outlets like many ‘aggregate’ emails, but rather my own reporting on the events of the day, in which I often cite information from an array of outlets on any one topic, and then my reporting on the scheduling updates, which are very rarely reported by other outlets.

“However, I read a number of different sources to stay up to date on the news and cite many of them in the newsletter. Those include Politico, The Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN, Bloomberg, The Hill, Roll Call, Time and NBC.” Fleisher hasn’t yet decided what career path he’ll pursue, although he says journalism is the field he’s most likely to study in college. Despite his work’s journalistic props, Fleisher, in numerous prior interviews, also has cited a potential affinity for a career as a historian, whether writing or teaching history at the collegiate level. Appropriately, he sketches the nominal history of the newsletter, which launched under a different title altogether.

“The Daily Rundown became Wake Up to Politics in August 2012,” he relates.

“When I started writing the newsletter, I would watch MSNBC’s The Daily Rundown, hosted by Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie, almost every day. The original name was an homage to that show – or maybe just a rip-off of it.

“I actually met Chuck Todd in St. Louis while the newsletter was still called The Daily Rundown, and he gave me permission to use the name. However, I still thought I should come up with my own name and thought Wake Up to Politics worked great – since I do it every morning, and the hope is that my readers will, too.”

Beyond the newsletter, Fleisher oversees related Facebook and Twitter accounts with an audience exceeding 3,500. In that context, he responds thoughtfully to the contention that digital connectivity has sparked a profound societal disconnect, whether for signal-to-noise reasons or other reasons.

“I think 20 years ago, Wake Up to Politics would have been impossible,” Fleisher says. “I feel lucky to grow up in a time period where I can take my passion and share it with people across the world, who can read it and comment on it within minutes.”

That connectivity, alas, landed him in a digital cauldron this past spring.

“Why is this reporter touching me as I leave news conference? What is in her

by that same outlet, that is interesting to report. In addition, I do think the [online] RealClearPolitics polling average does a good job of showing the reliable polls and has often been close to the results of many elections.

“I don’t completely trust every poll I see, but I do see value in tracking the changes in polling as we see changes in opinion over the course of an election. As unreliable as polls are said to be, many pundits said Donald Trump would never win the Republican presidential primary. Well, he led in almost every GOP primary poll from the time he announced – and he won the GOP primary.”

Despite his status as a digital native, as commonly defined nowadays, Fleisher admits to revering “a ton” of old-school ink-on-paper writers about politics.

“I really like a lot of the coverage from The Washington Post this cycle, from writers like Chris Cillizza, Dan Balz, Robert Costa, David Fahrenthold and others,” he says. “In addition, I am an avid reader of anything Maggie Haberman at The New York Times writes and Mark Leibovich at The New York Times Magazine. I really enjoy the works by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin and by a lot of writers at Time magazine.

“In addition, Mike Allen of Politico and Eli Yokley’s PoliticMo (now at Morning Consult) are big reasons I I feel lucky to grow discovered the potential for a format similar to what I do. While Allen’s up in a time period where Playbook was much more geared to I can take my passion ‘insiders,’ he pioneered the email and share it with people newsletter format in a lot of ways.” across the world, who Finally, Fleisher responds to a (red, can read it and comment white and) blue-skied question about having the chance to lunch with any on it within minutes. deceased political figure, domestic or – Gabe FLeisher foreign: Whom would he choose?

Fleisher names a pair of Founding Fathers: the nation’s first and fourth presidents, George Washington and James Madison.

“As a lover of presidential history,” he says, “I can only imagine what these two men … would think about how the office has evolved – and the two candidates running to hold it – and how closely the America we have now tracks with their vision for the nation.”

Vision. Yes. That quantity, of late, seems pathetically lacking in political discourse in the U.S. Yet chatting with Fleisher, despite his youth, prompts optimism that this great nation may yet return to 20/20.

“

“

hand??” a presidential candidate asked, rhetorically, on Twitter late in March, accompanying the tweet with a photo.

Fleisher eyed the photo and – not unreasonably, especially in a reportorial context – replied, simply, “A pen.”

That innocuous response sparked an instant Twitter firestorm directed at him.

Some of the candidate’s supporters hit Fleisher with ad hominem attacks both juvenile and vile, malediction ranging from merely snarky to out-and-out profane.

“It was definitely an experience that took me by surprise,” Fleisher recalls with more composure than someone twice or thrice his age perhaps could muster. “I really like Twitter: It’s a great way to get news, to share news and to connect with other journalists and political junkies. However, I think the site has its issues, and I do think it’s unfortunate that so many people turn to the technology to make hateful comments, rather than productive conversations.”

Beyond the flash and dazzle of social media, Fleisher reflects on two components of the political landscape of burgeoning prominence, one of them rather recent, the other historically pedigreed but not impervious to skepticism.

“I think it’s a very important aspect of a democracy that we have a nonpartisan, independent news media serving as a check on public officials,” he says regarding the elevation during the past five or 10 years of so-called fact-checkers.

“Especially in an election year, it is important that we don’t just report statements by candidates as they are delivered, but instead ‘fact-check’ to keep candidates honest.”

Regarding the credence of pollsters, whose results often disperse with little or no bona fide context, Fleisher reflects at greater length, perhaps because of the greater history of polls.

(The first presidential poll supposedly dates from 1824, but only since 1935 has scientific polling per se supplanted mere straw polling, largely through the efforts of George H. Gallup, called by some the father of public opinion.)

“As a political junkie, I love polls,” Fleisher confesses. “They offer a near-constant stream of numbers to chew over and think about. However, as someone who strives to inform people, I am constantly aware of what information I am including in my newsletter, to ensure I am giving as full a picture as possible to my readers. I have a frequent section in the newsletter titled ‘Daily Data’ and often include polling in it.

“However, I think it is important to not just give a single poll by itself. If there is a news outlet that releases a poll with different results compared to a previous poll

et another fast-casual pizza chain will introduce its concept to the St. Louis area throughout the year – MOD Pizza.

The past few months, the Seattle-based, corporate concept debuted its first three Missouri locations in Wentzville, Cottleville and Kirkwood – with another soon to open in Ladue. “‘MOD’ stands for ‘made on demand,’” says Ashley Howard, who serves as the general manager for MOD Pizza in Kirkwood. “The slogan for MOD is simple food for complex times. We try to make things very simple for people. All in all, it takes about five minutes to get your own brick-oven-style pizza.”

The Kirkwood location fills a 2,450-square-foot space that seats up to 50 guests. The interior takes on a primarily industrial look, with reclaimed wood tables, a photo mural and contemporary logos.

An Italian dough press flattens proofed dough to a thin consistency that serves as the foundation for MOD’s pies. Guests can choose from a variety of sauces to serve as a base, including a signature red sauce made fresh daily with two types of tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese and other herbs.

Prefabricated topping combinations include options such as the Mad Dog, with red sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, mild sausage and ground beef. Another

By Mabel Suen popular selection, the Caspian, features barbecue sauce, mozzarella, grilled chicken, red onion, Gorgonzola and a barbecue-swirl finish. All pizzas get baked in an 800-degree gas-fired oven.

MOD pizzas and salads come in mini, mod and mega sizes for set prices, regardless of the number of toppings. The mini is a 6-inch pizza or side salad, the mod is an 11-inch pizza or entrée salad, and the mega is a double 11-inch pizza or family-size salad.

Additionally available is a MOD pizza salad, which features a warm Asiago pizza crust topped with greens.

‌Story: It’s been 20 years since Katharine’s son, Andre, succumbed to AIDS. Now, visiting New York City from her longtime home in Dallas, Katharine finds Andre’s former partner, Cal, living in a swank apartment in the Central Park West area of Manhattan.

Cal has since married a man named Will, and they also are the fathers of a 6-year-old son, Bud. It’s all more than Katharine can absorb with any sense of acceptance, considering she has yet to reconcile with the fact that her only child was gay.

As Cal nervously shows the apartment to Katharine, she stands rigidly in her faux-fur coat, careful to maintain “appropriate” decorum in such a foreign and seemingly hostile environment.

Although she meets Will and Bud, she continues to focus her distrust on Cal, a man she more or less accuses of “turning” Andre homosexual. She also wants to know if Cal gave Will the disease that killed her son. A history of strained and chilly relations is put to the test as Katharine and Cal reexamine the past and attempt to take a realistic view of the future.

Highlights: Several fine performances shaped by director Michael Evan Haney make this seasonpremiere production of The Rep’s Studio series a generally rewarding presentation.

Other Info: Four-time Tony Award-winning playwright/librettist Terrence McNally has been a major force in the American theater for decades, often detailing the lives of gay men in many of his works.

Mothers and Sons, which premiered in Pennsylvania in 2013, had only a modest run on Broadway in 2014 – despite the presence of Tyne Daly in the role of Katharine – perhaps because McNally’s book for this one-act effort often veered into melodrama and soap opera.

Conversely, Haney’s rendition is salvaged by some powerful performances, especially Darrie Lawrence as Katharine and Harry Bouvy as Cal. They represent the older two of four generations etched by McNally in this story, astutely pointed out by Josie Dawson in an insightful essay in The Rep’s program.

As Dawson observes, a lot has happened in America since 1988. That’s the time in which McNally’s short play Andre’s Mother, the story that serves as background for Mothers and Sons, is set.

Although Katharine refuses to accept sweeping social changes in the last quarter-century and Cal actually has lived through truly terrible times, Will has come to the party a bit late – benefiting from the crusade for tolerance and acceptance by gays before him. As for Bud, he merely reacts to what he has seen and heard in his brief life, a world much different from Katharine’s.

Haney uses all of the space available in his theaterin-the-round setting, in which James Wolk’s sweeping

scenic design meticulously decorates the tony living quarters of Cal and Will.

Even Bud’s toy chest is a sleek, sophisticated piece of furniture, which like the rest of the apartment combines classic with contemporary elements.

Lawrence gives a highly polished performance as the rigid Katharine, whose stiff speech underscores her discomfort with modern life, as well as her unhappiness. Although her character is easy to dislike, Lawrence skillfully reveals Katharine’s humanity by touching on the woman’s long standing unhappiness.

Bouvy’s performance is precisely measured throughout. He effectively indicates Cal’s nervousness upon meeting his nemesis after such a long interval, and he also expertly reveals Cal’s inner strength as he recalls all of the loss he has endured, yet survived, to reach the point of happiness.

Michael Keyloun as Will is best in his strained talks with the surly stranger Katharine and also is solid in his conversations with Cal, some more terse than others. Both he and Bouvy suffer in their onstage dialogues with Bud, which is more the fault of the playwright than the actors. McNally doesn’t seem comfortable or convincing writing dialogue for Bud, who is played charmingly here by Simon Desilets.

That’s another of the problems with McNally’s script, as is the awkward and unimpressive conclusion.

The best part of The Rep’s Mothers and Sons is watching Lawrence and Bouvy so expertly practice their craft.

ptly enough, heavenly hues ranging from indigo through cerulean to teal and baby blue predominate in Jeremy Rabus’ 36- by 48-inch mixed-media acrylic on panel shown here.

“The color scheme, its sense of aerial space and some of the abstract elements evoke youthful memories of watching the airliners land at Lambert, which inspired the title, Livery,” explains the St. Louis-based abstract painter (who shows paintings at Hoffman LaChance Contemporary locally but exhibits nationwide) of that 2016 painting.

“In my most recent work, I apply a hue, often chosen arbitrarily, as an organic shape or taped off geometrically, and then play other colors against it – layering, concealing, accumulating passages and adjusting various combinations until I achieve the ‘yes’ moment,” Rabus, who earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a specialization in painting and graphic design from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2004, relates.

“Every successful painting evokes an immediate, visceral reaction. The finished piece must possess a concrete sense of reality, not as a faithful representation of any object, scene or notion, but within the context

Every successful painting evokes an immediate, visceral reaction. of a well-contained optical experience, framed by the four edges of the rectangular picture plane. A painting should be tangible and feel real and present.”

He briefly expounds on the specific creation of Livery: “This painting was based on a small digital sketch made in Photoshop and completed by layering passages of acrylic paint and then sanding into the layers of paint to reveal the painting’s history, the texture and the underlying brushwork.”

Rabus further details the joyful boyhood background of the painting.

“The brightly colored designs of TWA, Ozark,

American Airlines, Delta and other logos that emblazoned the tails of those magnificent flying machines were among the first things that had ever fascinated me as a child,” he relates.

“I drew airplanes constantly and would cut their images out of magazine ads and paste them to cardboard and would play with them. My grandpa’s backyard was not too far from the airport, treating me to a perpetual aerial parade of planes, all sizes, all shapes, which would appear on the horizon with a low rumble. Then they became bigger and closer, and every window on these planes would clearly be visible, and the air rang with the roar and whistle of a 747 or a DC-10 or whichever.

“Livery is the first artwork in a long time that depicted this ecstatic sense of something aerial, to me.”

Husband-and-wife Daniel and elise Puma share their recommendations for wining and dining in one of northern California’s most popular wine regions.

P

ulling up to Piña napa Valley along the Silverado Trail, we wondered if we’d passed our winery stop. A small parking lot gave way to a gray metal building with a few tiny windows. But then, past it, we noticed hillsides of grapevines with lush purple fruit. The visual juxtaposition continued inside: in the middle of a cramped warehouse filled with winemaking machinery and several stacks of wine barrels sat a simple walk-up counter. Behind it, a British expat – complete with quintessentially cheeky British humor – served generous pours of bold cabernet sauvignon while describing how Piña bottles single-vineyard cabernets by elevation. Taking a break from sidesplitting laughs, our uproarious host explained how the soil changes with the elevation, which results in noticeable differences in each vintage of Piña’s cabernets – one sourced from the valley floor, one from the mountaintop and a few from between.

As we headed back out on the trail, we realized that somewhere between the jokes about drunken patrons and many lip-staining sips of wine, we actually learned a little, too.

Our experience at Piña sums up the beauty of napa Valley – a place to unwind and relax while enjoying incredible wine, with laughter and education sprinkled throughout. returning to napa for the first time since our honeymoon six years prior, we brought along our friends, a beer-loving couple, to introduce them to wine. not every winery needs to be toured, and not all tours and tastings are the same. Opting for a blend of grounds tours, production tours and cave tours provides a visual of the entire winemaking process without repeating

elements. We like to balance the tastings, too, by selecting some in private rooms away from distractions and others overlooking the vineyards and surrounding scenery.

After our energizing visit to Piña along the Silverado Trail – which splits to the east of the valley and cuts into the bottom of the mountains – a quieter tasting with a view was in store.

O’Shaughnessy estate Winery sits atop Howell Mountain, north of St. Helena, a township in the center of the valley. A winding drive up the mountain leads to a private estate surrounded by rolling vineyard slopes. The reservation-only private tour-andtasting features a lineup of stunning whites and rare reds – one of the few places where our entire group loved every pour. After a tasting outside on the terrace, our host led us through the singleroom production facility before we stepped into a cave that housed rows of wine barrels. We wrapped up the tour by perusing the owner’s private cellar, featuring decades-old wines from world-renowned producers.

We kicked off the next morning with a popular napa spot, Silver Oak Cellars, nestled among expansive vineyards on all sides. The trick is to go early for a less-crowded visit; luckily, it has one of the earliest opening times, at 9:30 a.m. (although the tasting room opens at 9 a.m.). no one judges a glass of wine, or four, that early in napa. Sipping lavish pours of Silver Oak’s high-quality wines, we walked through the production facility, peeking in on vintners destemming fresh grapes.

Once more northbound on the Silverado Trail, the best estate might belong to Joseph Phelps Vineyards. in addition

Silver oak’s Glass House Library

to the beautiful grounds, its flagship wine, Insignia, is consistently rated one of the best reds available. The tasting takes place on the winery’s relaxing patio, overlooking rolling hills of vineyards filled with a variety of grapes that make up the luxurious Bordeaux blend.

Napa is known for its big, bold red wines, but many wineries excel at other varietals like chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. No trip would be complete without a stop at one of the sparkling-wine producers. At Mumm Napa, a space reminiscent of a restaurant dining room surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the vineyards, we were seated at our own table while our server poured each person’s choice of four different sparkling wines. In contrast, on our visit to Schramsberg Vineyards – known for providing the sparkling served at White House state dinners – we toured rustic, unpolished caves, complete with hanging moss, and finished with a flight in its seated tasting room. Mumm and Schramsberg offer two very different settings, but both provide a refreshing change of pace from Napa’s signature reds.

Although tempting, a diet of wine isn’t sustainable, even in Napa.

Delightfully, the region is filled with acclaimed restaurants. Mainstays like Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry, Ad Hoc and Bouchon Bakery present expertly executed French plates and some of Keller’s childhood favorites in a fine-dining ambiance, with a price to match. That said, locals asked where they like to dine often mentioned two restaurants: Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen and Gott’s Roadside.

Cindy Pawlcyn, a James Beard Award-winning cookbook author, opened her first Napa Valley restaurant, Mustards Grill, in 1983. In 2003, she opened Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen farther north in the valley in St. Helena, tucked off a main road. Showcasing the epitome of California cuisine with ingredients grown in her own garden, Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen is a sophisticated bistro, but it’s relaxed enough to turn the one television to your favorite football game if you ask.

After days of drinking copious amounts of wine, our bodies craved a hearty meal. Gott’s Roadside started as a simple burger joint along Highway 29 in St. Helena before expanding to a larger, hip restaurant in downtown Napa. Gott’s features fresh ingredients and an on-par wine list in a casual setting.

Vacationing in Napa is a customizable experience, ideal for tailoring to your preferences. With a little research and recommendations from trusted sources, you’ll return with unforgettable memories, a better understanding of Northern California wines and perhaps a few too many bottles to enjoy back home in the Midwest.
