Joyful

Learning By Maggie Peters | photos by christina kling-garrett

[Our staff] understands child develOpment and what they need tO dO tO really suppOrt speech and language grOwth, sOcial and emOtiOnal skills, and lay fOundatiOns fOr the academics like reading, writing, math and fOreign language.” – Kathy Fitzgerald

ith a mission to nurture a child’s mind, body and spirit, Community School encourages active learning from as early as age 3. Since its foundation in 1914, the independent private school believes in instilling a love for learning that will sustain students through the rest of their educational career. “The power of those [early] years is something we have to recognize as important,” says assistant head of school and lower division director Kathy Fitzgerald. “[Our staff] understands child development and what they need to do to really support speech and language growth, social and emotional skills, and lay foundations for the academics like reading, writing, math and foreign language.” Community School has co-teaching in every classroom, and the staff includes specialists in everything from science and woodworking to art and music. These teachers help students to solve problems and communicate daily. “We want to raise and develop independent thinkers,” says junior kindergarten teacher Jonelle Harris. “We take the time in small groups and one-on-one [lessons] to help them develop the skills they’ll need in later years.” The school works to combine work and play to encourage students to develop emotional and cognitive strength through learning to compromise and work with their peers. Fitzgerald acknowledges that young students aren’t yet equipped with the language to explain their feelings and handle disappointment. “That’s learning that, if it doesn’t get secure in the preschool years, is hard to go back and teach,” she says. “We start working with small groups early to help build the give-andtake in friendships,” nursery teacher Kris Major adds. “They learn to share ideas and take time to listen when others are sharing. They learn to start compromising on those ideas. For 3- and 4-year-olds, that’s a big deal, and

we build on them learning that early.” Another way Community School empowers its young learners is through letting them have a voice in what or how they learn, even as early as the nursery ages of 3 and 4. “They don’t have a lot of power and control in their life, and if they feel like they have that in their learning, it becomes more meaningful for them,” Major explains. “We ask guided questions that facilitate children’s critical thinking and give them space to feel comfortable in that classroom environment.” The faculty members work together and collaborate with one another to create a cohesive learning environment and a stacking curriculum. “We work really closely with each other, and if I’m looking at helping a child, I can collaborate or pull resources to help a child move along,” Harris says. “We use each other’s skills to set a child up for success. I have connected with our drama teacher for Black History Month where they got to learn through acting things out. We find creative ways to teach as students learn by experience.” “Children [also] have buddies in the older grades, which is a really powerful relationship experience,” Fitzgerald says. “They get to participate in whole school events and activities available on our expansive campus. This really helps build connectivity to the school community.” At more than a hundred years old, Community School has now dealt with a pandemic for a second time – COVID-19 and the earlier Spanish flu – so the school was well-prepared and set up the environment to be safe. “The children are accustomed to masking and are just so excited to be here,” Fitzgerald concludes. “We’ve seen a lot of joy even in this difficult time, and it speaks volumes about our students and teachers.” Community School, 900 Lay Road, St. Louis, 314-991-0005, communityschool.com

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Admission Season Anxiety By Oviya Srihari

‌A

s the coronaviral pandemic tears through the busiest months of the college admissions process, applicants and administrators alike have been forced to alter their approach to admissions season during the 2020-21 school year. John Burroughs School senior Udonne EkeOkoro, attending New York City’s Barnard College in the fall, found it difficult to research schools with the cancellation of campus visits. “I consider myself a very visual learner, so not being able to visit schools was hard,” Eke-Okoro says. “It made it really hard to feel a strong pull or connection to a school – that required a lot more research. There are a lot of fun, different sources you have to rely on, though, even resources [such as] campus tours on TikTok.” Ladue Horton Watkins High School college counselor Chad Sisk’s students initially struggled with this change as well, but transitioned to virtual visit resources to aid their searches. In addition to canceling on-campus visits,

universities nationwide made sweeping changes to testing policies and modified standardized testing for the foreseeable future. “One major change from last year to this year is that many schools across the country have opted to go ‘test-optional,’” Sisk says. “Many students didn’t have an opportunity to take the ACT or SAT, so colleges are willing to review those students based on other factors such as grades, curriculum, extracurricular activities and essays, to name a few.” Aside from institutional policies, other aspects of the admissions process stayed relatively constant. With a strong support system, Eke-Okoro worked around the intermittent cancellations of sports and other extracurricular activities. “The counselors were absolutely amazing in terms of supporting me in the college process,” Eke-Okoro says. “A lot of my extracurricular activities could be maintained virtually. I also moved passions a little bit and kind of focused

more on advocacy this summer … I feel like [the pandemic] opened up some doors and closed some doors, but overall, there was always another way to gain an opportunity.” For Sisk, the admissions process might have changed, but the job certainly hasn’t; he continues supporting students’ goals, even through an unprecedented situation. Pandemic or not, Sisk’s advice remains the same. “The hard work you put into school will pay off when it comes to college admissions,” Sisk says. “I know the college application process can be stressful, but have some fun with it. Don’t think of college as the ‘end result.’ Think of it as the next step.”

Justice That Heals By Andrea Smith | Photo courtesy of Saint Louis University

‌F

our faculty members at Saint Louis University recently united to help build a more equitable community in which “race, gender, class and other social identity categories can no longer predict life outcomes, and outcomes for all groups are improved.” Together, they founded the Institute for Healing Justice and Equity to assess and empower practices that allow healing from social injustice, trauma and oppression. “Like the other co-founders of IHJE, I have dedicated my career to improving the lives of vulnerable individuals by eradicating the systems and structures of oppression that prevent individuals from attaining equal access to health care, employment, education and housing,” states co-founder and executive director Ruqaiijah Yearby in a press release. “This institute is noteworthy because our work is grounded in the concept of Humanizing Equity, which we developed to illuminate the need to incorporate healing practices into equity measures as a means to address the psychological and physical harms of oppression.”

14 January 22, 2021 | LadueNews.com

The launch of SLU’s Institute for Healing Justice and Equity in 2020 might appear connected to the unrest the world experienced after George Floyd’s death in May of that year, or to the racial and ethnic health disparities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, but co-founder Dr. Keon L. Gilbert says the institute’s roots dig deeper. Gilbert, an associate professor in SLU’s College for Public Health and Social Justice, clarifies that the institute was publicly unveiled in the summer of 2020 but had been developing over at least a couple of years prior to that. “I hate to say [it was] ‘perfect timing,’ but given all that has happened in 2020, certainly it’s important that we launched in 2020,” Gilbert says. To the founders’ knowledge, this institute is the first at a Jesuit university to address racial equity through healing justice. Their approach to instituting change involves academic research, teaching within and outside the university, community activism and policy development. “The idea of healing justice focuses on the

ways that individuals, families, communities, neighborhoods have to heal from experiences of discrimination, experiences of trauma,” Gilbert elaborates. “It’s not just enough to acknowledge that, you know, experiences of discrimination or trauma have taken place, but there have to be practices and procedures as needed, as well as policy changes, that help people to move through that healing process.” The other two co-founders are Kira Banks, associate professor of psychology, and Amber Johnson, associate professor of communication. Each co-founder brings a unique perspective and is helping the institute become a multidisciplinary resource for the community. “The institute is committed to being honest that the academy does not have the answer,” the institute’s website notes, “but that the research skills of the academy in collaboration with the indigenous knowledge of [the] community can generate viable answers.”

Peggy Holly By Alice Handelman

proven leader and volunteer extraordinaire, Peggy Holly brings her innate love of craft to her latest governance position as board chair-elect of Craft Alliance in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood. After years of dabbling in Craft Alliance classes herself, Holly discovered that clay was the perfect medium to combine her passions for art and design. Twenty years later, she credits a Craft Alliance instructor for guiding her through the process of falling in love with pottery. “She encouraged me not to become attached to the pieces I create,” Holly says. “If it comes out of the kiln with a crack, you don’t want to feel defeated. It only makes learning that much more difficult.” Holly loves her wheel-work because “it’s a very tactile, physical experience. Wedging clay always reminds me of my grandmother baking bread. You can use it to work out whatever you’re feeling.” Holly will lead Craft Alliance at an exciting time, after its recent move into its new home in the self-styled Makers District at 5080 Delmar Blvd. “The new space not only allows us to bring joy and fulfillment to Craft Alliance students, but it also enables us to bring new focus to our education and outreach programs,” she says. “We’re looking forward to incorporating fresh ideas and new ways to reach out to the greater St. Louis community.” Born and raised in St. Louis County, Holly received her undergraduate and master’s degrees in engineering at Washington University in St. Louis and a Master of Business Administration degree from Indiana University/ Purdue University in Indianapolis. From there, she embarked on a 30-year engineering career at Boeing (formerly McDonnell Douglas), where she received intensive leadership training at Cambridge’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Pasadena’s California Institute of Technology and the Center for Creative Leadership, headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina. She was also a participant in Wash U’s not-for-profit management program and a board member of Columbia’s Greater Missouri Leadership Foundation. Her volunteer work includes an impressive position as an emeritus board member of the Friends of St. Louis Public Radio, where she has served as the coordinator of the Grand Center Theatre Crawl since its inception in 2013. Holly and her husband, Mark, were both honored by the radio station with its Golden Microphone Award for their years of service to the station. Holly is also a member of the organizing committee of the Reparative Justice Coalition of St. Louis, which works to advance equal justice in the community, and she has served on the boards at ALIVE – Alternatives to Living in Violent Environments and St. Louis’ Safe Connections. A past president of Duo Dogs, she and her retriever-mix dog volunteered in the organization’s TOUCH program, doing therapy work at nursing homes, hospitals and treatment centers. She has also served on the board of Habitat for Humanity and as board vice president of Redevelopment Opportunities for Women, providing financial sustainability services, advocacy, and wraparound support for women. “I’m not a patient person,” she says. “I want to fix the things in our community that need to be addressed.”

An innate storyteller and award-winning photographer and writer, Alice Handelman provides Ladue News readers with a glimpse into lives that enrich St. Louis.

Two metro area entrepreneurs have launched a childcentric business that can only be called buzzworthy.

or nearly two years, Honeycomb has been sparking creativity, connection and critical thinking in kids thanks to its high-quality curated children’s clothes, crafts, books and more at its interactive shop-and-play storefront in St. Louis’ Botanical Heights neighborhood. But like most businesses, Honeycomb was forced to reinvent what that looked like when COVID-19 hit. “In our first year of business, pre-COVID, we had this space that was dedicated to testing and playing with toys, seeing what the children liked, and it was just this fun, interactive space,” says Zoë Kaemmerer, Honeycomb co-owner, alongside Angela Giancola. “We also did a lot of classes and events on the weekends, as well as the retail space. In March 2020, things had to change … We decided to focus on items that would be great to help out kids at home right now.” Books, interactive puzzles, arts and crafts, and other products that focus on creative and critical thinking became Honeycomb’s main emphasis. “We are always trying to find multipurpose products,” Kaemmerer says. “Things that have more than just one function and that can be used for multiple siblings in a family. Or a toy that can then become art in the home. We definitely try to find sustainable products.” Although COVID-19 encouraged Honeycomb to develop an e-commerce option, Kaemmerer says the physical store is certainly still shoppable for up to 10 people at a time. “It’s much more tailored back, but we pride ourselves on being really helpful,” Kaemmerer says. “We truly love everyone who walks in the store, and we take the time to really chat with them. We know if you are spending money, that is a luxury, and we want them

JANUARY 22, 2021 | LadueNews.com

to spend money on something they are truly going to love and that’s going to work back into the family in some beautiful way. So I think we really listen and help you search for your item. We have really special customer service that I’d say we pride ourselves on. I think we just want everyone to feel safe and welcome and happy and have fun.” Something else to be proud of is Honeycomb’s book subscription service. “That’s something we are really excited about because that’s a product everyone really loves from us are our book selections,” Kaemmerer says. “I think anyone, no matter where they come from, can walk in and feel represented because you are going to find a book with someone who looks like you on it and shares your same beliefs, no matter where you are from.” Kaemmerer says a book subscription questionnaire for all ages will be available online in late January; it will ask questions such as the age of the young recipient(s), the number of subscriptions and so forth. “We want to start kind of simple because we have never done anything like this,” Kaemmerer says. “We have a bigger, elaborate idea going into arts and crafts, and STEMrelated boxes, but we want to start just with books.” Although Kaemmerer doesn’t have a book subscription rate at present, she says it’ll include one to three age-appropriate books and one of Honeycomb’s popular decal stickers. “That’s something that is so fun, and it’s a constant,” Kaemmerer says. “It’s a very open-ended and creative project that can go all over the house without anyone being mad that it’s permanent. That’s one of our favorite activities.” In addition to the book subscription service, Kaemmerer says Honeycomb’s biggest goal for 2021 is to return some of its classes – sign language, music on Saturdays and so forth. “We aren’t saying anything until we have a better vision of what 2021 will really look like for everyone here,” Kaemmerer says. “Our two-year anniversary is going to be in March. I don’t know what we have up our sleeves, but we will definitely have something fun planned and continue to bring unique, special toys and products to St. Louis.” Honeycomb, 1641 Tower Grove Ave., St. Louis, 314-202-8237, ihearthoneycomb.com

Community Over

COVID 19 By Alecia Humphreys | Photos courtesy of Friendship Village

january 22, 2021 | Laduenews.com

Metro area assisted living facilities continue to prove their strength and ingenuity with an array of ways to keep residents engaged, healthy and hopeful.

here’s no doubt that COVID-19 has presented unbelievable challenges for assisted living communities everywhere. The metro area’s top-notch assisted living teams have faced these challenges head-on with fresh, fun and innovative initiatives to keep care (and spirits) high. “I think the key during the pandemic is being able to adapt, modify and go with the flow, and continue to have the same high standards and expectations as pre-COVID,” says Sarah Vinson, corporate director of life enrichment at Cedarhurst Senior Living, headquartered in Clayton. “One of the many things we are doing is relying on humor. Our communities are dressing silly, creating crazy-themed carts, wearing different costumes and hats, having dance parties in the hall, knocking on resident doors telling jokes. There is a lot of humor and fun going on to keep spirits up. You don’t lose your sense of humor when you age, so that’s something that has been important for us at Cedarhurst – really promoting being silly and a lot of themed days focusing on holidays (and not just big holidays).” Nontraditional holidays celebrated at Cedarhurst have included National Nacho Day, World Smile Day, National Trivia Day and World Kindness Day, to name a few. “The different activities will focus on the theme,” Vinson says. “If there is a positive exposure to the community, we pivot our life enrichment activities to align with the communities’ COVID-19 level, per state and local health official guidelines. It is important that life enrichment doesn’t stop during these unprecedented times, and instead, we modify how we do it.” University City’s McKnight Place Assisted Living & Memory Care is similarly taking to themes. “When we knew that the residents were going to be in their apartments and couldn’t gather for group activities, we wanted the activities to remain engaging and interesting,” says Lesley Pedroli, director of leasing at McKnight Place. “We developed a weekly theme to keep things fresh, new and exciting for our residents. We offer lots of in-room events based on [each] theme, including discussions, trivia games, art projects, music and specialty snacks or drinks. Every Monday, we offer a specialty cocktail cart that offers a fun cocktail or mocktail [inspired by] our theme to kick off the week.” Vinson says residents have also been reveling in long-term projects like cross-stitching, rock painting and wreath-making, to name a few. “Long-term projects have been meaningful and therapeutic during this time,” Vinson says. “Before COVID, residents would gather in the activity room and have a craft project that would be completed during that activity time, but we’ve found, if we give them something that takes a longer period of time to do, then it’s something to look forward to and they can come back to that the next day and as they choose. Having that sense of accomplishment has been really important.” What has taken priority, though, is socialization of residents due to visitor restrictions. “They are so used to their loved ones coming and going in the

community anytime they wanted and potentially visiting daily or weekly, and for many of our residents, they might not understand why their family is no longer coming,” says Carmen Fronczak, chief strategy officer of Friendship Village Chesterfield and Friendship Village Sunset Hills. “So just finding as many creative ways as we can to provide that regular, constant contact and always being accessible if someone wants to FaceTime or whatever that might be.” McKnight Place recommends ViewClix, which is “smart frame” technology that allows family members to directly share photos with residents, in addition to the ability to video chat. “I think the biggest thing is all about maintaining the connection,” Pedroli says. “I am one of those family members now who has a parent I can’t see in person or hug. Just the empathy that I feel for our own families is very strong, [and it’s important] that we also keep the families engaged. We are working very hard to keep residents happy and healthy.” And despite the hardships COVID-19 has caused, Fronczak believes residents and their families alike appreciate the extra efforts. “I think, while it has been hard, they have been patient, understanding and, of course, really appreciative of our staff,” Fronczak says. “I think we are all very hopeful that there is a new page or that we are turning the corner to a new day.” Cedarhurst Senior Living, multiple locations, 855-928-3401, cedarhurstliving.com Friendship Village Chesterfield, 15201 Olive Blvd., Chesterfield, 636-255-8281; Friendship Village Sunset Hills, 12563 Village Circle Drive, Sunset Hills, 314-635-9281; friendshipvillagestl.com McKnight Place Assisted Living & Memory Care, Three McKnight Place, St. Louis, 314-993-3333, mcknightplace.com

STYLE SPEAK

Luxe Loungewear From the Lou By Brittany Nay | Photos courtesy of AUDRA

‌From debuting collections at New York Fashion Week to launching its headquarters in Ladue, AUDRA, by Audra Noyes, is a luxury brand that knows how to pivot – fashionably. LN recently caught up with Noyes, a Saint Louis Fashion Incubator success story, about fashion changes amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent release of her luxury loungewear line. What inspires your brand? My Parisian training at [French multinational high-fashion house] Lanvin and [British fashion designer John] Galliano was instrumental in my tailoring and design skill set and, in tangency, defining what I wanted to say about women through my designs. Through every aspect of my business, I keep the inspiring, strong women of my family, and the dynamic women who I am fortunate to have around me in my daily life as friends, supporters or clients, at the forefront of my mind. I’m continually creating for their lives, drawn from their experiences. Each is dynamic and has a distinct voice, expressed through the clothes they choose to wear. The real successes are those pieces that can be worn by all of these women and in every aspect of their life. The fall/winter collection has been my most personal and emotionally charged. Why did you choose Ladue as AUDRA’s headquarters? After receiving an Arch Grant in 2019, I’ve made the conscious decision to establish the AUDRA headquarters in Ladue. The past four years have been an invaluable experience, one that’s opened up opportunities while expanding my creativity and business growth. I’m pleased to continue to build roots within our community. We have local clients and brand ambassadors that champion AUDRA. Simultaneously, we’re expanding our national distribution and investing heavily in digital. St. Louis offers several advantages that align with my current business strategy, both locally and nationally. Tell us about your latest designs. We import our fabrics from small-batch,

28 January 22, 2021 | LadueNews.com

family-owned mills in Europe and Japan, followed by each ongoing step of manufacturing done entirely in America, at female-owned factories, allowing us to deliver limited runs of high-quality, thoughtful clothing. We’ve been agile this year to accommodate our customers’ needs. Our new introduction of loungewear and accessories, including masks and small scarves, is delivering on that demand. We’ve utilized luxury-quality and durable fabrics that can be worn by AUDRA customers in all aspects of her life. How is your brand evolving with the fashion industry as a whole during the pandemic? We’ve faced challenges, like many small businesses this year, but continue our focus on intentionality and relationships with customers,

production partners and collaborators [enabling] us to connect directly with the AUDRA woman and design/produce for her, especially in these changing times. We balance her shifting dressing needs with the alluring nature of AUDRA styles. We’re investing more in digital and direct sales – shifting away from the traditional fashion calendar and transitioning our operations for new products launched monthly and on demand, instead of seasonally – which allows us to be more agile and take direction from customers, create safe/curated shopping experiences virtually and at our atelier, and gear up to launch really exciting new lines and collaborations in 2021.

Bring on the Heat! By Pat Raven, Ph.D., with Julie Hess

‌G

ray, cold January days scream for spicy, hot homemade chili! I recently added dried Thai chili peppers from last summer’s bounty for a bit of zing to a pot of Wawona white turkey chili. They give high notes of flavor and complement the roasted poblanos and jalapeños that I froze in August just for this recipe. Growing hot peppers in St. Louis is very rewarding, as deer don’t touch them. Roughly 10 varieties are available as small plants in the spring market, but you can start dozens more from seed. Order early, as last year’s run on seed may be repeated as people remain constrained by the pandemic. Hot peppers. All peppers of the genus Capsicum come from the New World, five of them with hundreds of varieties. Their heat comes from capsaicin, a metabolite that helps protect the plant from predation. Birds don’t “taste” peppers, allowing them to disperse seeds and to enjoy hot pepper suet that squirrels can’t eat. Humans, however, love the spiciness – and have carried peppers to every continent and incorporated them into every cuisine.‌ Be very careful, though, about varieties that have the phrases Ghost, Reaper, Scorpion, Viper or Death Spiral in their names; likewise beware the dangerous 7-Pot pepper from Trinidad. All of these fruits score high on the Scoville scale, which measures the “heat” of chiles, and therefore should not be eaten without a lot of dilution, with an intensity more suitable for making pepper spray, killing barnacles or making arthritis creams. I myself prefer milder selections that can actually be tasted, so I tend to choose varieties with Scoville scores below 50,000 (around the level of cayennes or Tabasco sauce). That still leaves hundreds of choices if you want to grow plants from seed.

30 January 22, 2021 | LadueNews.com

Favorite culinary peppers. Bell peppers, Cubans, Anaheims, pepperoncini and pimentos are all considered sweet peppers with little or no heat – except when grown near hot pepper varieties and pollinated by them. I’ve had a nasty surprise or two in my gardening past with bell peppers as hot as serranos.‌ The famous Hatch green chiles, anchos, pasillas, Fresnos and some jalapeños are pretty mild. Japanese shishito peppers are generally sweetly warm and great roasted or grilled as appetizers. One in a dozen, though, will surprise you with a hot punch!

Cayenne, Tabasco, serrano and poblano peppers pack a pretty lively kick and are too hot for many. My limit of comfort falls at Thai peppers, minced and mixed with food. Peppers with a Scoville range above 100,000 are for daredevils and competitors. I’ve eaten some Indian peppers that left me gasping and weeping – an experience that does not invite repeating! The Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces (chile.nmsu.edu/ seeds) is a great source for seeds of unusual varieties. Pepper Joe’s (pepperjoe.com) offers seeds, plants, recipes and cultural info.

Here Comes the

Sun By Brittany Nay | Kitchen photo courtesy of Stephanie Pohlman, Color swatch images courtesy of Pantone

Pantone’s 2021 Colors of the Year are meant to insPire notes of PositivitY and fortitude in this Year’s design.

ike sunshine streaming through the clouds at the dawn of a better day, Pantone has chosen the bright, upbeat Illuminating and the solid, steadfast Ultimate Gray as the 2021 Colors of the Year. After the uncommon string of events that made up 2020, Pantone color trend forecast experts also opted for the unusual by selecting a combination of colors for the first time in the gray and yellow hues – a hopeful, enduring marriage of shades that signal a more positive year ahead. A reflection of what is taking place in our global culture, the cheery, warming Illuminating evokes a spirited positivity, while Ultimate Gray offers a thoughtful, fortifying force as people look for ways to “overcome the continuing uncertainty … and satisfy our quest for vitality,” according to Pantone experts. “The selection of two independent colors highlights how different elements come together to express a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting, conveying the idea that it’s not about one color or one person, it’s about more than one,” Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, stated in a news release. “The union of an enduring Ultimate Gray with the vibrant yellow Illuminating expresses a message of positivity supported by fortitude. Practical and rock solid, but at the same time warming and optimistic, this is a color combination that gives us resilience and hope. We need to feel encouraged and uplifted – this is essential to the human spirit.” The pigment pairing is set to spark inspiration in design professionals and homeowners alike this year, from painting a front door in warm, welcoming Illuminating to using reliable, resilient Ultimate Gray in home exterior finishes, according to Pantone experts. To infuse the inside of your home with the happy, energetic Illuminating and strong, deep Ultimate Gray, Castle Design founder, owner and principal interior designer Emily Castle advises incorporating gray tones in finishes, such as natural stone marble, flooring and metal details, while sunny yellow is showcased best in soft goods, such as pillows, rugs and fabrics. “This unique color combination provides the perfect juxtaposition of strong and soft elements,” she adds. The harmonious hues are beautiful in gathering spaces, such as great rooms and dining rooms, Castle says. “I [recently] incorporated the combination in [a] colorful statement rug,” she says of a redesign for a Clayton penthouse great room. “With its pattern that feels like falling

leaves, the rug brings elements of nature into the contemporary space. It also provides a happy yet sophisticated backdrop for parties and events. I [also] added a warm apricot tone to the gray and yellow backdrop – it’s the perfect bridge between the warm and cool color tones.” St. Louis-based designer Stephanie Pohlman says the ideal way to tie these hues into your home is through artwork, accessories and pillows. “Think outside the box!” she advises. “Yellow doesn’t have to be bright yellow … It can be a deep mustard fabric, natural maple wood or a brass accent to bring in the yellow tones. I like my large items to be the neutral Ultimate Gray, like walls and furniture pieces that will be around for a while. Choose a gray sofa, and accent it with deep mustard pillows with different textures. A natural maple-finish buffet [also] can be used to bring in the ‘golden’ tone.” In addition to complementing each other, sunny Illuminating and shady Ultimate Gray pair well with warmer tones, such as creamy whites and neutrals, to create an “easy-on-the-eye, calming space,” Pohlman adds. Amy Studebaker, of eponymous Amy Studebaker Design, says one of the best ways to incorporate the delightful Illuminating yellow shade is to “go bold with it! Find a small room in your home that needs the vibrancy, and paint the walls and ceiling with this statement color.” So if you want a bright, fresh start for the new year, Studebaker recommends painting an entire room in sun-drenched Illuminating, contrasted with a crisp, wondrous white: “The two together make for a fantastic, fresh feel!” Amy Studebaker Design, 11614 Page Service Drive, St. Louis, 314-440-0853, amystudebakerdesign.com Castle Design, 7707 Clayton Road, Clayton, 314-727-6622, emilycastle.com Pantone, pantone.com Stephanie Pohlman Designs, stephaniepohlmandesigns.com laduenews.com | JanuarY 22, 2021

he kitchen is the heart of every home. It’s where we gather with our family and where we entertain our friends, and now, it’s where many people are spending the majority of their time at home. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of having a kitchen that functions on a day-to-day level, and that’s changing how people are approaching kitchen design. “Clients are asking for multifunction spaces that fill the needs of their household,” explains Jake Spurgeon, senior designer with Mosby Building Arts. “We’re seeing requests and suggestions for pocket doors so you can close things off if people are doing virtual learning or working from the dining room, and then open them up for entertaining.” Kitchen design trends that have surfaced – or resurfaced – during the pandemic also include layouts that accommodate more cooking at home and that encourage the entire family to get involved. “We’re seeing less microwaves over the range and instead putting it in a base cabinet or island where kids can reach – families want kids to help out, so we’re creating kid-friendly spaces,” Spurgeon says. Clients are also changing the kinds of appliances they want installed, with a shift toward separate fridges for drinks or bonus storage, custom fridge and freezer setups to fit what they need most, and using “smart” technology for conserving energy. “You’re having people in the kitchen on an everyday basis,” Spurgeon says. “We’re seeing people asking for more space in general.” He adds that kitchen additions and the creation of larger pantries and butler’s pantries have been high among clients’ requests as well. These design trends were already beginning to make an appearance before the pandemic made them more of a priority than a wish-list item, and Spurgeon says he can see them continuing in popularity into the future. “It takes a hundred years and then a style [like pocket doors] comes back,” he says. “Everything always comes back; it’s a full circle.” Mosby Building Arts, 645 Leffingwell Ave., St. Louis, 314-909-1800, mosbybuildingarts.com

BIG DAY SASHA NICHOLAS

A GIFT TO LAST A

Lifetime

By Maggie Peters | Photos by Christina Kling-Garrett

edding memories last a lifetime – wedding gifts should as well. Dinnerware and gifts from Sasha Nicholas are both timeless in style and durable for everyday use. “Couples often worry about asking too much of people on their registry, but their families want to get them something that will be special and last a long time,” explains owner Lindsay Trulaske. “We hear from our customers many times that brides end up happier that they’ve received pieces that are meaningful.” Sasha Nicholas has something to offer brides looking for a full place setting of fine china from high-end designers, as well as those looking for more modern pieces that can be used on a day-to-day basis. “Our European porcelain is oven- and dishwashersafe,” Trulaske says. “You don’t have to worry about washing – it’s more modern in that it’s usable.” Brides can choose among any of Sasha Nicholas’ eight monogram designs, available in five colors, or can use a custom monogram that they’ve created for their wedding. “We’ve seen handwritten messages, too,” Trulaske adds. “[Once,] a mother-of-the-bride had the bride and groom write down what they loved about each

other and then put that on the back of the plates they used at the wedding. It really surprised them. These are the gifts [couples] will remember.” Other Sasha Nicholas items perfect for the wedding registry include its Champagne bucket, which can be used as a wine cooler or flower vase as well, or a cake knife inscribed with the wedding date and saved for special occasions to come. “Other popular items are charcuterie boards that we can monogram or a set of bar tumblers,” Trulaske says. “That’s always something that the groom can appreciate.” Locally owned and operated, Sasha Nicholas offers shipping for out-of-town couples and in-store pickup for people shopping locally. “For people who don’t want to come in the store – even if in town – we also have been doing Zoom and FaceTime registry calls to walk people around the store and show them what they might be interested in,” Trulaske says. “It’s way easier than emailing back and forth.” Your wedding is a special occasion, so celebrate it with gifts that are memorable and long-lasting.

fter Dark, Metro Theater Company’s major fundraising event, went virtual last fall in order to protect the health of its supporters while still celebrating the company’s local impact and national reputation. The gala raised more than $90,000, with all proceeds benefiting the company’s programming, such as school arts integrated residencies; the Say Something, Do Something violence prevention program; and theatrical productions. Actors Jamie McKittrick and Alicia Revé Like, who have starred in past Metro Theater Company productions, hosted the livestream celebration alongside Metro Theater Company managing director Joe Gfaller and artistic director Julia Flood. Naretha Hopson and Suzie Nall co-chaired After Dark. Nall hosted a small gathering at her Ladue home for

ew pickup options came to St. Louis’ Benton Park West neighborhood in October, when two area mainstays, The Fortune Teller Bar and Gooseberries 2 Go, partnered to offer inventive house cocktails and a range of comfort food. Matt Thenhaus and Sarah Kate Buckles, who own The Fortune Teller Bar, collaborated with Gooseberries 2 Go owners Kim Bond and Ross Lessor for the dual-faceted carryout concept, which enables both businesses to serve their specialty dishes and beverages regularly while their dining rooms remain closed. All goods are available via online ordering and pickup from a walk-up window installed in the front door. On Saturdays, Gooseberries 2 Go’s flagship location on Chippewa Street continues to offer free grocery staples, as well as “The Weekly Hookup,” a limited online menu of prepared food

and treats available for pickup via preorder. The Fortune Teller Bar’s takeout drink menu includes cocktails, beer, cider, seltzer, kombucha, wine, alcohol-free drinks and mixers. House cocktails come in pouches and bottles – just add ice. Rotating highlights include the Bananas Forester, with Old Forester signature bourbon, Wood Hat Black Walnut Liqueur, Giffard Banane du Brésil liqueur, black pepper, clove syrup and angostura bitters. Gooseberries 2 Go offerings include popular items from its flagship menu such as hand pies and a fried tofu basket. The latter sampler includes a selection of battered and air-fried tofu in the restaurant’s signature styles, including “Tofish sticks” and the punny KFT (krispy fried tofu, not KFC), served with dipping sauce like a house sweet-and-sour. “We like to consider it healthy comfort food with a lot of great vegetarian and vegan

options,” Bond says. A beet Reuben, another original Gooseberries 2 Go offering, comes with brined beets and cabbage on house-made pumpernickel with vegan Thousand Island dressing and vegan cheese. Newer items include a St. Paul pizza, which consists of a veggie egg foo young patty on top of house pizza crust, topped with mayo, shredded lettuce, raw onion and pickles. In addition to rotating snacks, salads, sandwiches, tacos and pizzas, guests can order bottles of house hot sauce and ginger iced coffee for pickup from the online menu. “We’re excited to work together and get our food and drinks to people on a regular basis again,” Bond says.

ALL-IN-ONE FUN By Drew Gieseke

hesterfield’s entertainment scene will look very different in the coming year. A new, all-in-one destination dubbed The District will transform the Chesterfield Outlets mall into a thriving hangout for visitors and residents alike. Guests will be able to enjoy high-profile experiences like Topgolf and iFLY, as well as unique venues and dining concepts, without ever leaving the outdoor complex. “We were looking at what’s missing – what this did was allow us to take something that already existed and repurpose it,” says Tim Lowe, vice president of leasing and development with St. Louis-headquartered The Staenberg Group, which is developing The District. “What we thought was missing in the [Chesterfield] valley was entertainment.” Once the development is fully realized, guests will have a walkable entertainment venue where they can listen to live music, grab a cocktail, take their kids golfing and treat themselves to dinner without getting behind the wheel or hailing a ride-share. Headlining the phased development are two anchor projects that will join Chesterfield’s

“This is really the first development you’ll find in the United States where we’ve taken five great entertainment choices and put them all in the same spot.” TIM LOWE, THE STAENBERG GROUP existing Topgolf location off North Outer 40 Road. One anchor is The Factory, which will be a 3,000-person, 52,000-square-foot live event venue with state-of-the-art lighting and sound. From the venue, on track to debut in May 2021, visitors can expect an industrial vibe, with lots of exposed brick and steel. “The Factory will truly be a facility for everyone in the region,” says Brian Harp, chief operating officer for The Factory. “We plan on holding events that include every genre of music, from rock ’n’ roll to country to R&B and hip-hop.

Our goal is [to] program the venue so that everyone feels there is something they can’t wait to see at The Factory.” Carp adds that he and Michael Staenberg, president of The Staenberg Group, visited venues around the country to get a feel for what worked and what didn’t. Using this research, they’ve incorporated the best of the best into The Factory. Slated to open this June, Main Event will be a complete, in-house entertainment hot spot featuring family-friendly fun like bowling, laser tag and even virtual reality games. Meanwhile, restaurants and other businesses are expected to take residency in 2022. To Lowe, The District is more than convenient. It’s historic. “This is something unique and different that doesn’t exist in other markets,” he says. “This is really the first development you’ll find in the United States where we’ve taken five great entertainment choices and put them all in the same spot.”

ow entering its fourth generation as a familyowned winery, Trefethen Family Vineyards maintains an exceptional reputation among its peers and neighbors, with 50-year roots in Napa Valley, California. After a long and distinctive career at the Kaiser Corporation, Gene Trefethen, along with his wife, Katie, purchased land in what is now called the Oak Knoll District and established Trefethen Estate. Deeply dedicated to preserving the ecosystem, Trefethen Estate works tirelessly to maintain the health of the vineyards and surrounding land, practicing sustainability and biodiversity in both the vineyard and the winery itself. Boasting numerous certifications to that end, the estate’s personnel strive to continually improve conditions not only on the land and in the winery but also in employment.

Although Trefethen produces a variety of premiere quality wines, it produces a particularly tantalizing red blend. Named Dragon’s Tooth, this selection bears the red Welsh Dragon on its label (in honor of founding mother Katie Trefethen’s heritage). This Bordeaux blend’s main ingredient is malbec, which is rare in American red blends. The malbec sets the stage with strong fruit influence, while the cabernet and petite verdot provide structure, tannins and deep color, as well as just the smallest amount of merlot to adhere the blend and soften the entire wine. Food Pairings: Although paired best with red meat, this wine also can be enjoyed with chicken or pork with heavier, more aggressive sauces.

Certified Sommelier Stanley Browne owns Robust Wine Bar in Webster Groves.

The chief curator at one of the metro area’s most prominent cultural institutions muses on a trio of national recognitions she recently received.

assan Al-Khudhairi experienced a November perhaps best characterized as notable. notable More specifically, Al-Khudhairi – who serves as chief curator at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis in that municipality’s Covenant Blu Grand Center neighborhood – received three highprofile national professional honors midway through the month. First, within a day or so of each other, New York City’s Armory Show (taking place this Sept. 9 to 12 in Manhattan’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center) named her its 2021 Focus Curator. Then, Boston’s VIA Art Fund named Al-Khudhairi its 2021 Curatorial Fellow, lauding her, in its press release, for a focus “on projects that bring visibility to people, stories and histories that are often overlooked” and the creation, at CAM, of “a risk-taking contemporary art program centered on audience involvement and engagement with local artists.” Slightly more than a week after those laurels, New York’s Center for Curatorial Leadership named her one of its 2021 Fellows, joining 11 other museum pros from the U.S. and Mexico, whom it praised for “exceptional curatorial achievements, demonstrated innovative thinking and commitment to advancing the field.” So – what impact did that sort of recognition in so compressed a timeframe have? “I feel honored,” Al-Khudhairi says. “The VIA Curatorial Fellowship and the invitation to be the Focus Curator of The Armory Show both came as a complete surprise to me. It’s encouraging to know that the work we do at CAM is being noticed by those beyond our city and region. I am grateful to [executive director] Lisa Melandri for her leadership and to my colleagues at CAM. Any recognition we receive is a reflection of how committed and how hard our team is working. As for CCL, that is a fellowship I applied for. In the museum field, it’s known to be very competitive, and I’m thrilled to have been selected to be part of the 2021 cohort.” Al-Khudhairi also addresses how, as CAM’s chief curator, she

may synergize forthcoming insights gleaned from those honors three honors. “In a time when the museum field is undergoing drastic changes, when we are being asked to re-envision how we work, the opportunity to be a CCL fellow couldn’t be [timelier],” she states. “Being part of a group of professionals from across the country, where we can think through the challenges our field faces – to develop a network of real thought partners at this critical moment – all I can say is that it’s truly wonderful. The combination of strategic-thinking skills, managerial skills and curatorial training will all be applied to my day-to-day work at CAM. Curating the Focus section at the Armory is opening up exciting opportunities for me to explore new artists and learn about new galleries.” Last but scarcely least, Al-Khudhairi tantalizes potential museumgoers with a few details about “Stories of Resistance,” scheduled to run at CAM from March 12 to Aug. 15. “‘Stories of Resistance’ explores the wide range of acts of resistance – from large, noisy, mass movements demanding change in the streets to small, quiet, determined study of archives and records toward the rewriting of history,” she states. “The exhibition will feature artists from the U.S. and abroad – artists of our time whose work often looks to the past to help us think through our present realities. My hope with the exhibition is that audiences discover that acts of resistance are not isolated but are part of a shared human experience. Acts of resistance in St. Louis influence those in other countries and vice versa. One major component of the exhibition I’m very excited about is Radio Resistance – a series of discussions between exhibition artists and artists, activists, historians and others who are deeply connected to St. Louis. ‘Stories of Resistance’ is going to take up the entire building, so you’ll find works not only throughout the museum but also outside of it.” Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, 3750 Washington Blvd., St. Louis, 314-535-4660, camstl.org
