ith more than 30 years of experience in top-quality senior living, McKnight Place Assisted Living and Memory Care knows how to help its residents live fulfilling lives. The owners and professional staff make people their priority and enjoy getting to know all residents and their families. Nothing demonstrates this quite like the commitment to having the best-quality food available for all residents. “Most of our residents like the type of food that brings some nostalgic memories to them,” explains Executive Chef John Morales. “Our job is to throw in a little twist here and there to introduce them to something new that they can enjoy and hopefully remember throughout the years.” Morales began his career at The Gatesworth, under its renowned chef, Brian Hardy. Alongside him, Morales learned everything from the basics of cooking to the provision of the best service possible to the community’s residents. He has since earned a number of accolades from the American Culinary Federation, including the title of Junior Chef of the Year 2017. After some time at Meadowbrook Country Club, learning to showcase everything he had learned in a fun and creative way, Morales returned to

Furthermore, loved ones are encouraged to visit McKnight Place residents for a meal at any time. Residents can also share their favorite recipe, which can then be featured in future menus, something that Morales considers an exciting challenge. “Our residents definitely make my job enjoyable,” he says. “I have grown attached to them and have enjoyed getting to know them.” The McKnight Place residents return the sentiment: “Chef Morales is wonderful and I really enjoy the food,” says resident Mary Carr. “They take good care of us.” Resident Robert Bodine adds, enthusiastically: “I love the food here!” Alongside its dining, McKnight Place shines by allowing residents to live the life they choose through hundreds of activities and events each month.
Calendars feature entertainment, guest speakers, music and art therapy, games, religious services and more. As with dining, residents’ loved ones are invited to participate, as well.

The McKnight Place owners are local to the St. Louis area and have on-site offices where they are available for questions or concerns from residents and family. Morales concludes by expressing gratitude to McKnight Place for allowing him to share his culinary knowledge in an incredible place. “It is a great time working with people who share common goals,” he says. “Cooking will always be a really big part of my life, and I will forever be thankful to this company and the owners for helping me find my passion.” McKnight Place Assisted Living & Memory Care, 3 McKnight Place, St. Louis, 314-993-3333, mcknightplace.com

Newborn Foot Deformities By Dr. Joseph Kahn
W
hen babies are born, parents usually check them from head to foot, counting fingers and toes. It’s common to see newborn feet sometimes appear crooked, often due to crowding in the uterine space – after all, babies are squished in a small space as they grow. Less commonly, though, some foot deformities are due to a developmental or genetic condition. The two most common newborn foot deformities are metatarsus adductus (in toeing) and calcaneovalgus (out toeing). Metatarsus adductus is a curve in the midfoot. Regardless of how much of a curve there is, it’s important to note whether the foot is flexible and can be moved to a normal-appearing position. This condition usually improves within six to 12 months. Although there is no evidence that stretching the foot helps, many physicians recommend it, many parents do it and there’s certainly no harm done. Calcaneovalgus is the opposite; the foot is
pushed out and a little up. Like in toeing, this condition usually resolves within one year, and stretching often is done. Clubfoot is a more serious condition that occurs in about 1 in every 1,000 newborns and is thought to have a genetic component. A clubfoot has a high arch and turns inward with toes pointed down and back. The foot and the Achilles tendon, located behind the ankle, are both stiff. Your newborn’s physician should notice this during a regular exam, and your baby will likely be referred for treatment by a pediatric orthopedic specialist. Often serial casting will resolve the condition, although surgery is sometimes needed. Parents may notice some children with normal feet may toe in, often referred to as being pigeon-toed, when they begin to walk late in the first year and early in the second year of life. This is commonly caused by tibial torsion – inward twisting of the tibia, a bone in the lower leg. In toeing in an older child, ages 3 to 6 years, is more likely due to inward turning of the femur, the
large bone in the upper leg. Both conditions are relatively common, tend to run in families and rarely need treatment. It’s important to avoid unnecessary treatments such as corrective shoes, bracing inserts and the like, as those have been shown to be ineffective. Discuss any foot or leg concerns you may have with your pediatrician or a pediatric orthopedist. For more information, visit mercy.net/laduenews and search for “pediatric orthopedics.”

HEALTH NOTES
Welcome to the Academy By Connie Mitchell Photo courtesy of Washington University
D
r. Daniel Goldberg, a professor of molecular microbiology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, recently received one of the highest honors bestowed in the science community: He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, a nonprofit society of distinguished scholars to whose ranks their peers add scientists for outstanding research contributions. Goldberg, the David M. and Paula L. Kipnis Distinguished Professor in the school’s Division of Infectious Diseases, is internationally known for his work in advancing drug development for malaria treatments. By studying the basic biology of malaria parasites, he identified a group of proteins called plasmepsins that play a key role in the parasites’ ability to live inside red blood cells. He also identified several compounds that inhibit these plasmepsins and is exploring whether they can be developed as drugs. “What excites me most about my work is the scientific odyssey that I get to undertake with each of the really talented young people in the lab,” Goldberg says. “Sharing in their discoveries, as well as their scientific and personal development, is the greatest privilege of the job.” In addition to identifying new targets for antimalarial drug development, Goldberg and his team found a toxin that the malaria parasite puts out into the patient’s bloodstream to cause leaky blood vessels, which are a hallmark of severe malaria. “We have figured out how this molecule works, which gives us a clear idea of how to treat these terrible malaria complications,” he says. “Malaria is a parasitic infection that kills over 600,000 people a year, mostly children in Africa. We desperately need new treatments.” Goldberg has served in many roles at the university, including as a past co-director of the Division of Infectious Diseases, as director of the medical scientist training program and as a member of the executive council of the Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences, according to a university press release.

What excites me most about my work is the scientific odyssey that I get to undertake with each of the really talented young people in the lab. – DR. DANIEL GOLDBERG a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Society of Clinical Investigation and the American Association of Physicians. His many honors
include the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology’s prestigious C.C. and Alice Wang Award in Molecular Parasitology. He also was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator for 20 years. Goldberg is one of 120 newly elected U.S. members of the National Academy of Sciences and the only Washington University faculty member elected to the academy this year. “I’m pleased that my scientific colleagues regard my work highly,” he says. “It gives Washington University more recognition as a great place to do scientific research.”

The Milken Educator Award Goes To … By Drew Gieseke Photos courtesy of Milken Family Foundation
A
shley Gerald never expected her name to be called. The educator at Lusher Elementary School in Florissant was surprised during a special assembly in late April when it was announced that she’d been awarded a $25,000 Milken Educator Award for her leadership within the school and around her community. “When I realized they were giving an award, I started thinking of all of the awesome teachers I work with – I never considered myself,” says Gerald, who taught first grade for five years at the school and now serves as a behavior interventionist there. “When I realized that my name was called, I was filled with joy and disbelief. I broke down in tears because I knew it would help me to continue to provide for myself and my son.” Gerald is an alumna of Lindenwood University and the Hazelwood School District, which now includes Lusher. In October 2017, she founded the Lusher Families program, which pairs teachers or staff members with students at the school to help the students develop social and emotional health and well-being. Gerald’s principal at the time of the program’s founding, Julie Melton, approached the educator, saying that Lusher needed a program that not only taught and reinforced school rules but also fostered meaningful relationships between staff and students. With room to be creative, Gerald worked with her colleagues to bring her ideas to life. Within the program, “families” refer to the small groups of Lusher mentors and students. “From teacher and student feedback, we learned they wanted more time with their families, so we added a half-day with families in January,” Gerald says. “We used this time to review schoolwide expectations and set goals for the second quarter. Families ate lunch together that day, too.” The program was a hit. Students would stop Gerald in the hallway to ask when they could have “Family Day” again. Parents shared with teachers that their kids came home excited about the fun

activities – music to any educator’s ears. But Gerald’s passion for her students and her school aren’t rooted in winning awards. From helping struggling families during the COVID-19 pandemic to launching a new program – The Lusher Leadership Academy, which will teach and reward students for demonstrating leadership traits – Gerald’s thoughts always return to her pupils. “You have to take time to build meaningful connections with our students,” she says. “Get to know them beyond the curriculum. Take time to build them up and listen to them. We don’t know what they have to encounter as they step out of the school building. They need us for more than academics.”
Dubbed the “Oscars of Teaching,” the Milken Educator Awards from the Milken Family Foundation provide “unrestricted awards” to “classroom heroes, serving at once as validation, motivation and inspiration,” according to the foundation’s website. Gerald says she’s using the award money to achieve a longtime goal: homeownership. Prior to the surprise, she was actively searching to buy a home for herself and her son. The Milken funds helped bring that dream to a reality, as she officially closed on a house in late May.

ELECTRI
AVE N U E S

More metro area drivers are opting for electric vehicles, and that trend is set to reshape local infrastructure.

Y
ou’ve probably seen them on the road. Most electric vehicles sport a little green leaf, a bolt of lightning or that unmistakable silver T for Tesla emblazoned on the back. Electric vehicles are no longer a novelty, and metropolitan areas like this one are steadily changing shape to sustain a future for rechargeable roadsters. “Electric vehicle purchases are definitely on the rise,” says Mandy La Brier, director of sustainability for St. Louis County. She points to the U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center’s most recent report on electric vehicles registered in each state, which indicates 6,740 fully electric vehicles were registered in Missouri at the end of 2020. “As auto manufacturers like General Motors, Volkswagen, Ford and others produce and offer more fully electric passenger vehicles as a part of the industry transition, St. Louis County expects more people to purchase fully electric vehicles,” La Brier continues. Electric vehicles have been M around a lot longer than many people an dy may think. The first successful electric La Brier car debuted in the U.S. in the late 1800s, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Then, in 1908, Henry Ford introduced his massproduced, gasoline-powered Model T, which made passenger vehicles more affordable and accessible than ever. By 1912, the Model T cost significantly less and could travel farther without stops than an electric car. But times have changed. According to the International Energy Agency’s latest report, electric vehicle sales worldwide doubled in 2021 compared to 2020, with a new record of 6.6 million sales. With legacy automakers expanding their lineups, La Brier says this trend underscores the need for improved charging infrastructure in the metro area. The metro area alone has around 1,600 public charging stations – a figure that will only grow as more and more people begin using electric vehicles, La Brier projects. At-home charging is an option, as well. Electric vehicles come equipped with a 110-volt-compatible, or Level 1, home connector kit that permits drivers to plug their cars into a standard outlet, according to Consumer Reports. Level 2 chargers are faster and more efficient but require installation by an electrician. Earlier this year, the St. Louis County Council passed and County Executive Sam Page signed into ordinance new building code requirements to install electric vehicle charging stations in certain parking lots throughout unincorporated St. Louis County. Initially, some criticized the ordinance, saying the changes were too costly and burdensome for developers and small-business owners, so requirements were relaxed, exempting restaurants, schools, hospitals and small businesses visited by customers for short periods of time, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Now, new or substantially remodeled parking lots of required business types with more than 31 spaces must include charging equipment. The independent municipality of St. Louis has similar requirements in place.
“These ordinances are an important step in ensuring that individuals who may not have access to charging at home can still have access to the benefits provided by electric vehicles,” La Brier says. “A multimodal approach that takes into account passenger vehicles, transit, pedestrian and biking options for residents alongside urban business freight and supply systems logistics are critical considerations as we continue discussions about land use, infrastructure changes and future economic development.” Advocates for electric vehicles also point to the positive impact they have on residents’ health and the environment. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, “over the lifetime of the [electric] vehicle, total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with manufacturing, charging and driving an EV are typically lower than the total GHGs associated with a gasoline car,” thereby reducing overall air pollution that harms ecosystems and human health alike. And as fuel costs continue to rise around the country, people are looking for ways to save wherever they can. La Brier and her team agree electric vehicles are a cost-effective solution. “Simply, EVs cost less to drive,” she says. “Sure, gasoline prices fluctuate, and that still makes consumer choice between EVs and internal combustion engine passenger vehicles competitive. But as we see more and more EVs coming off the production line, the prices for EVs will decrease, and we’ll see fewer and fewer internal combustion engines in the passenger vehicle market.” Specialty dealers, like Jim Butler EV in the metro area, may help connect drivers with a wide variety of electric vehicles, from Chevy Equinox EV to the Kia Sorento PHEV. As for St. Louis County, the government entity recently purchased its first electric vehicle, a 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning, to replace an older model F-150 in its general vehicle pool. The truck will serve as a pilot for the county’s employees to inform future electric vehicle purchases. In the coming weeks, the county intends to announce its 5-year electric vehicle plan, which will detail how it will transition entirely to electric vehicles – a sure sign that such vehicles are here to stay.

A Community Unlike Any Other By Maggie Peters | Photos by Gregg Goldman Photography

Residents Richard and Sharon Owens
S
ummer entertainment, programs and activities are back at The Gatesworth! Continuing education, live entertainment and social outings on the town with resident neighbors are some of the many exciting happenings this summer. The Gatesworth continues to strive to provide the best in everything it does! “At The Gatesworth, our motto is ‘The answer is yes – what is the question?’,” says Executive Director Carrie Montrey. “For more than three decades, residents and their families have told us that there is no other senior Happy Hour community anywhere like The Gatesworth. That’s a reputation we strive to maintain.” The Gatesworth’s success is grounded in its core values for residents: choice and opportunity. The community inspires a vibrant and active lifestyle where residents can continue to explore new interests, build friendships and embrace their independence. How much or little each resident engages with activities is always the resident’s choice. Activities and programs include discussion groups, live entertainment, card games, spa services and fitness classes. Staffers at The Gatesworth also listen to every resident’s input and are always ready to adjust the schedule to suit interests or needs. For example, the fitness program added dance and men’s weight classes after residents inquired about them. “I love the live entertainment every Friday and Saturday night,” says resident Sharon Owens. “There are games and art [classes] offered all of the time, and good discussion groups and of course we do ‘out on the town’ and that’s always fun and exciting.” “Everyone who works here truly helps set The Gatesworth apart from other retirement communities,” Montrey confirms. “We have a strong commitment to quality and strive to maintain an exceptional level of service.” Additionally, The Gatesworth has resident-favorite events returning for the summer. From two old-fashioned ice cream socials, to a “pooch parade” for the lucky dogs that call the community their home, to several evening parties, the season is full of ways to socialize – hot weather permitting. The Gatesworth will also be wrapping up its spring-summer speaker series, Real Voices, which has so far included Paul Costigan, senior vice-president of the International Institute of St. Louis, and five-time Emmy-Winner Patrick Murphy, author and well-known voice and face of Nine PBS. “We’ll finish the series in July with one of The Gatesworth residents’ all-time favorites: Bill McClellan of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and a founding member of “Donnybrook” on Nine PBS,” says Kathy Davis, resident program director. “There’s no one quite like Bill McClellan to tell it as he sees it – he’s a 100-percent ‘Real Voice’!” The Gatesworth also has plenty of space for casual socializing with its many open living spaces. “We have a weekly social hour where we meet with snacks and laughter,” says Owens. “There’s always a lot of good laughter. You get to meet your wonderful neighbors and I like that a lot. I just feel so blessed to be here.”
Day trip to Grant’s Farm
Another way The Gatesworth promotes wellness in its residents is with the meals it serves. The community has three restaurants, each offering distinct experiences created by its award-winning executive chef, Brian Hardy, and his team. “Hardy and his team start with fresh local ingredients and handle all prep work in-house to create their culinary masterpieces,” Montrey says. There are some incredible summer specials available now – and there are always fresh salads, hamburgers and many more options. The community’s incredible owners and staff have built the reputation that Grant’s Farm there is no place like The Gatesworth. The community is always improving for seniors who want to remain active, eat well, pursue passions and make new friends – all in the comfort of a safe and engaging environment.

&J Design Team recently re-imagined a space with outdated details and damaged deck flooring to create an outdoor oasis of opulence. “This outdoor space is an extension of our indoor living space now,” says Jenna Siebert, who is not only the designer and stylist responsible for this renovation, alongside her husband Jason, but also the homeowner. “There is a cozy and welcoming vibe that flows effortlessly between the interior and exterior spaces.” Such cohesiveness was the Sieberts’ ultimate goal, with their surroundings influencing each design decision. “Being comfortable in nature was my inspiration for this space,” Siebert continues. “The greenery from all the trees that surround the deck is the perfect backdrop.
I love using black and white as my neutrals with the earthy elements, and adding a swing of sorts to an outdoor space is such a fun, playful way to mix up the seating!” However, Siebert’s favorite component of the space is hands-down the privacy wall and pergola. “I love all the things on this deck, but my absolute favorite component would have to be the privacy wall because, well, the privacy,” Siebert says. “The fire pit in the center of the seating arrangement is also one of my favorite components because it allows us to use this outdoor space all year long. I literally love everything out here.”

S
tone Hall Cabinetry is breathing new life into the former Ladue Market with a luxury design showroom slated to fully open by year’s end. With its new name, Stone Hall Cabinetry at Ladue Market, the handcrafted cabinetry company, originally founded in St. Louis by lead designer Rebekah Moore Murphy, will pay homage to the beloved neighborhood grocery store, which shuttered at its longtime Ladue address – 9155 Clayton Road – in early 2020 after 91 years. Stone Hall is reviving the building with respect to its original architectural glory, Murphy notes. “[The Ladue Market building is] a historic landmark, with so much history rooted in that space. It’s such a charming façade – we’re taking it back to just like it was historically, but hopefully even better.” According to St. Louis County’s landmark records online, Ladue Market was the oldest store in the city and, in 1985, received an award from the St. Louis County Historic Building Commission “In Recognition of Excellent Continuing Use.” Its building permit, denoting the brick structure in Tudor Revival style, was issued on Jan. 28, 1928, to Charles and Minnie Meyer, and the shop opened later that year as Meyer’s Market. Murphy says the familiar exterior features are being fully restored, from the multicolored slate roof and copper gutters, to mahogany stained-wood window frames and doors, and copper gas-lantern lighting. Inside, the first floor will house Stone Hall’s design showroom, set to open by year’s end. The building will display the business’ boutique cabinetry designs and products, with high-gloss painted finishes and fits “that no one else can offer,” Murphy says, noting the company caters to clients committed to high-end design. “It will feel more like a living space when you walk in,” she adds. “We’re offering really uniquely designed spaces for homes and clients looking for specialty service. Our craftsmen are artisans, and our designers treat each piece with the special touch it deserves.” Connected by a cohesive black-and-white marble floor, the showroom’s front entry boasts an inviting fireplace to be flanked by tall, highgloss built-ins alongside Parisian marble bistro tables, an understated chandelier and “a grand
kitchen – that will live up to its name,” Murphy describes. Picture a “10-foot-tall pantry wall with a walnut ladder, a glossy black-and-brass range hood, a La Cornue French range, and vintage icebox-looking paneled appliances.” Beyond this grand space is another large – “but more petite” – kitchen with a Europeanstyle sink and European Hamilton Blue-painted cabinetry. “It will feature a large arched window that floods the space with natural light from the east,” Murphy explains. “It’s charming – when you drive by, you can see it.” The showroom also will have a wainscot wall and built-in banquette, “with a nicely situated large TV where we’ll do design presentations,” Murphy says. “We’re using the most technologically advanced 3D [design] renderings on the market right now, in addition to our artistically detailed hand drawings.” But the most special space, the designer notes, will be a 12-foot-long Parisian island bar with a ladder and walnut cabinetry stretching to the ceiling. Leaving no detail unfinished, the showroom features restrooms designed with the utmost care, from the men’s modern, fashion-forward bathroom featuring black floating cabinets and a stone wall, to the women’s eye-catching bathroom with a brightly colored vanity and Gucci wallpaper. The space between both is “a very striking, almost art deco-feeling alcove that you can sit in,” Murphy adds. “Everyone already wants to get really fancy and dressed up to have their photo taken in this Instagram-worthy waiting area.” Murphy expects to host a lavish VIP event once the showroom is fully open. “We will be holding a grand opening party … an exclusive and special one-of-a-kind day for celebration,” she explains. “With COVID-19, like everyone else, we have had delays, but that just gives us more time to plan this special event.” Murphy says many of her customers, unsatisfied with big box stores’ offerings, have come to Stone Hall for its ability to offer handcrafted, custom cabinetry. She envisions this new luxury showroom will give clients even more of the custom treatment they crave.

Sp Splash By Brittany Nay
LOCALLY BASED SWIMWEAR BRANDS AND BOUTIQUES OFFER AN ARRAY OF STYLES THAT SUPPORT BODY POSITIVITY AND SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES. From Summersalt to Coralee to Splash Tribe, swimsuit shops and brands based in the metro area are promoting body positivity and sustainable business practices, so you can feel confident in yourself and your apparel choices. Slip into the latest women’s styles this summer with these on-trend, sparkly and shimmery, textured and crocheted, and flattering high-waisted suits with dramatic cutouts in eye-catching neons, metallics, red-hot hues and all-natural earth tones. Get ready to make a splash this season!
Summersalt | Photo courtesy of Summersalt This body-positive brand proclaims: “Every body is a Summersalt body.” It’s declaring this season “the summer of self-love,” celebrating all women – “our bodies, our beauty, our power – because we’re all incredible.” The St. Louis-based swimwear company, which, according to its website, took a whopping 1.5 million body measurements from 10,000 women to inform the Summersalt fit, is highlighting the women of its latest swimsuit campaign by sharing love letters they wrote to their bodies – “deeply personal messages of hope, resilience, love and appreciation.” And now the retailer is asking you to do the same – write your own love letter and share it with the brand by tagging #GoSummersalt on social media. Summersalt’s latest styles – made from recycled materials and shipped in recyclable and reusable packaging – include blue-hued and red-hot takes on its best-selling Sidestroke single-shouldered, one-piece suit. It’s available in a rainbow of other colors, as well as a long-torso version, and in sizes ranging from 0 to 24. Find trendy details on the brand’s Bow-Shoulder Ruched Sidestroke, Ruffle Backflip, and Sidestroke Bikini Top with a Tie Belt High Leg Mid Rise Bottom. Summersalt, St. Louis, summersalt.com
Coralee | Photo courtesy of Coralee From founder Claire Forrest, St. Louis-based brand Coralee creates sustainable swimwear to save the coral reefs. As scientists “estimate that all coral reefs globally could be gone by 2050,” Coralee is “committed to fighting this problem and contributing to the solution,” according to statements on its website. For each swimsuit sold, a baby coral reef is planted in the ocean. Upon receiving your swimwear, check out the included GPS coordinates and photo of the baby reef you helped plant. To make its zero-waste, recycled ocean plastics swimwear, Coralee partners with textile-regeneration companies that source plastic and fibrous waste from recycling plants and from the ocean. Additionally, the brand advocates for the education and ethical treatment of the women working in its production lines. New for this summer, Coralee’s collection includes bikinis with eye-catching accent ties, one-pieces with peekaboo cutouts and even matching mommy-and-me swim sets. Coralee, St. Louis, coraleeswim.com
Splash Tribe | Devon Windsor photo by Jonathan Barbara Among its designer apparel, Splash Tribe, the trendy local boutique located in Ladue’s Colonial Marketplace, is offering everything from sizzling pieces by St. Louis native supermodel Devon Windsor to neon numbers from female-led brand Frankies Bikinis. Devon Windsor’s eponymous brand launched in 2019 with a collection of fashion-forward swimwear and resortwear made of luxurious Italian and Brazilian fabrics, with refined details and unique hardware on styles including high-cut bikinis, belted full-piece suits and cropped swim jackets. Feel free to strut like a supermodel this summer in these easy, breezy wearable styles that make for a confident look with minimal effort. Female-led beachwear brand Frankies Bikinis always has a goal to “create swimwear that empowers women to feel their most confident,” according to the brand’s website. Created by mother-daughter duo Mimi and Francesca Aiello, the internationally renowned company aims to provide an inclusive range of styles made for women of all shapes and sizes, and collaborates with powerful women, including model Gigi Hadid, athlete Naomi Osaka, singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld and model Sofia Richie. At Splash Tribe, find fun, flirty styles in fluorescent hues, including high-waisted bikinis and on-trend onepieces with cool cutouts to leave you looking and feeling like the queen of summer all season long.

DESIGN DIGEST MOSBY BUILDING ARTS
A Lower-Level Redesign
That Has It All By Maggie Peters | Photos courtesy of Mosby Building Arts
T
he best basement remodel adds more than usable square footage to a home – it adds functionality and personality to your residence. Mosby Building Arts gives basements the same royal treatment they would any other floor in your home. Explore a recent Mosby lower-level remodel that is beautiful, useful and just what the homeowners needed. The lower level of this home was transformed from a sea of unfinished storage to every homeowner’s dream, including an entertainment area, a wet bar, a home gym, an office, a bathroom and a wine room. Starting from a blank slate, designer Amy Miller and project manager Zane Wenglikowski created a space that was warm, welcoming and multifunctional. “Over many collaborative meetings, we came up with designs that checked all of the client’s boxes,” Miller says. While the basement isn’t a walk-out, it does have large windows, making it feel like a main floor living space. Miller utilized coordinating colors on the walls and cabinetry, as well as uniform wood floors throughout to create a cohesive, expansive space that is bright and inviting.

One of the items on the client’s checklist was to have a true gym that could be used for triathlon training and Mosby delivered. With glass doors, specialty blocking in the ceiling and electrical outlets in the floor for the equipment, attention to detail was key. “The custom wine room is probably the most impressive feature of this remodel,” Miller adds. “The under-stair location was a challenge, but we found a way to optimize the space to accommodate the homeowner’s large wine collection.” The finished space is a self-contained, temperature-controlled environment which required specialty walls and door. The wine racking system had to be installed meticulously by hand by the team’s lead carpenter. Mosby brings this kind of team effort into every design. Whether you’re looking for a basement redesign or have a remodeling project in another area of the house, rest assured that you can put your trust in Mosby Building Arts. Mosby Building Arts, 115 W. Argonne Ave., Kirkwood, 314-909-1800, callmosby.com

Station No. 3 S By Mabel Suen
tation No. 3, which debuted in May in St. Louis’ Benton Park neighborhood, offers a flexitarian (primarily vegetarian) comfort food menu featuring a variety of vegan specialties, as well as options for omnivores. The gastropub comes from Natasha Kwan and Rick Roloff, the duo behind Frida’s (which opened in University City in 2012 with a plant-based, health-forward menu) and the adjoining Diego’s (which opened in 2020 with Mexican-inspired small plates). With Station No. 3, the couple hopes to offer casual, everyday fare, incorporating indulgent fried food for the first time at one of their eateries. “It’s your classic comfort foods made vegan – mozzarella sticks, potato skins, nachos, Frito pies, macaroni and cheese,” Kwan says. “It’s definitely been a great way for me to play around and challenge myself in the kitchen.” For Kwan, whose grandparents owned a gas station in the Philippines, the restaurant’s location inside a former 1937 filling station made the perfect locale for her latest venture. Garage doors open to a spacious pet-friendly patio, where Roloff constructed picnic tables for guests to sit among lush wildflowers that surround the property. A fire pit that wraps around the side of the building is available for cooler evenings. Inside, guests will find a blend of textures, from Carrera marble tabletops and custom metalworking to ornate tiling and exposed brick embellished with whimsical pieces from Kwan and Roloff ’s personal art collection. A couple of TVs invite guests to belly up to the bar, while a separate seating area by the kitchen enables easy takeout service. All menu items, other than “flex” offerings including a turkey burger and a smoked turkey sandwich with brie, are 100 percent vegan, Kwan says. Guests can choose from such highlights as The Signature Station Burger, a house-made

quarter-pound veggie burger with cheddar, pickles, jalapeño, lettuce, tomato, onion and pub sauce. Another popular item, the appetizer sampler platter features hand-rolled mozzarella sticks, pickle fries, soy-based popcorn chicken and potato skins topped with cashew cheddar. Additional offerings include salads, personal flatbreads and sides like Kwan’s Hand Cut Skinny Fries, which are hand-cut, blanched and fried and which the menu identifies as a registered trademark. To drink, guests can choose from a selection of canned and bottled beer, wine and cocktails like Pimm’s Cup, which Kwan describes
as a little bitter and a little sweet. The drink features the gin-based liqueur Pimm’s No. 1, cucumber, lemon and herbs. Boozy soft serve is also on hand for dessert. “We’re really excited to be part of the community and offer a place where people can hang out, bring their families and dogs, and enjoy great food,” Kwan says. “There’s no ego or pretense here. We’re very fluid, and it’s important for us to serve what the neighborhood wants.”

The exhibition, which opened Saturday, July 1, comes from ceramists Victoria Miener and Catherine Morgan and runs till Aug. 6. The two artists briefly share with Ladue News insights into their individual works in specific to the exhibition and in general. “In a world where we are inundated with data and information, we can often become numb to the problems of others or the issues of the world and our ability to make a difference,” Miener relates. “The true beauty of art is that it allows us to engage regardless of our problems or differences and share in an experience where we can express ourselves and appreciate and learn from one another. “As an artist, I like to think that my art brings people together not because they all see the same thing, but because we all see, feel and experience something different. “Growing up with a sensory processing disorder, art transformed my life and brought about a sense of order and purpose. Finding art ceramics unlocked my ability to engage all my senses and share my experiences in an intentional and freeing way. My work incorporates many textures and natural elements inspired by my life experiences and travels. By sharing a little piece of myself in this exhibit, I hope it will connect you with your senses and spur discussions that help us learn more about each other.” Miener’s co-artist in “Collected Fragments” likewise reflects intriguingly. “Art serves as a vessel for feelings of happiness, sorrow or chaos,” Morgan states. “Emotions are cleansing for the mind, and art is an excellent tool for this process. In this way, art unifies us through
As an artist, I like to think that my art brings people together not because they all see the same thing, but because we all see, feel and experience something different. –VICTORIA MIENER serving as a method of escape. “In my work, I seek to inform the viewer of the importance of amphibians. Due to their permeable skin, they are exceptional environmental indicators. Seeing a frog instills joy in some and fear in others; I work to bring a humanizing element to these animals and help the viewer understand the role they play in our ecosystem.
“I focus on small details and naturalistic forms, and I’m inspired by quiet moments such as in a rippling creek; I am drawn to details which are unnoticed until one looks closely, such as miniscule fossils or the creatures that hide just below the water’s surface. We are unified by the fact that we all live on the same planet and, in this way, are unified by the importance of the balance in our ecosystem. My work serves as a reminder of this and, in this way, seeks to aid in keeping us collected.”

READY READERS
Story-Time
SHENANIGANS By Sheila Oliveri
A
s summer unfolds and temperatures climb, the cool refuge of the library beckons. To children, the library can be a mystical, magical place, where all their favorite characters and adventures await. Best of all, most libraries feature weekly read-aloud story times specifically for children. Ready Readers recommends two titles about libraries and story time to tickle your own bookworm’s fancy. “Bunny’s Book Club,” from writer Annie Silvestro and illustrator Tatjana Mai-Wyss, tells a lively tale of woodland animals that discover the magic of the library, thanks to their book-loving friend, Bunny. During the summer, the librarian conducts story time on the building’s front steps, allowing Bunny to listen from the cover of a nearby bush. In autumn, though, story time moves inside, and Bunny must find a secret way into the library. His friends learn about his late-night visits and follow Bunny into the dark building to explore on their own. Then, hearts race as the interlopers are discovered by the librarian, who, understanding their hunger for books, issues them all library cards. Young readers should find excitement and contentment in this celebration of books, reading and friends. “Chicken Story Time,” from writer Sandy Asher and illustrator Mark Fearing, presents a simple, silly story about the universal attraction of read-
aloud time at the library. It begins with the usual story-time ingredients: one story, one librarian and children. But wait – there’s also a chicken! The children like the chicken, and the chicken likes the children, so everything goes well … at first. Over the following weeks, though, the crowd of listeners (both human and fowl) grows to unmanageable numbers. Faced with chaos and cacophony, the librarian devises a plan to save story time. Be ready to hear “Read it again!” from your own little listeners!

In-Cider INFORMATION By Amanda Dahl | Photos courtesy of Eckert’s
Summertime in St. Louis just got sweeter with Eckert’s expansion of its Belleville attractions.
B
randed with a familiar name in the metro area, the Eckert family’s Belleville farm sits roughly 30 minutes’ drive east of St. Louis and through more than six generations still proves a big draw across the area. The rural destination is now offering two new attractions, which opened on June 10, in addition to its country restaurant, market and garden center. “We’re always looking for opportunities to grow and to expand,” marketing director Amanda Morgan says. “We’re just trying to expand the experiences that we offer.” The beginning of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic posed new challenges for how Eckert’s could cater to the public while also keeping them safe, she describes. “We opened up what used to be our pick-your-own area and used it as somewhat of a makeshift bar,” Morgan says. “Guests really kind of clung to the idea and were excited. And that made us realize that there really is a need for additional space in this market.” The company saw a way to enhance its entertainment spaces for individuals and families with or without children. That makeshift bar has been constructed into the Cider Shed, an expansive beer garden and lounge. A live music series called Shows in the Shed kicks off this summer and is anticipated to draw more metro area residents. The Cider Shed’s outdoor stage can expand for large ensembles or can cater to more intimate performances. The 2022 summer lineup includes country music
We wanted it to be a space that families and couples and friends could enjoy on a year-round basis, enjoying good food, delicious drinks and a lot of fun.” – AMANDA MORGAN

singer Matt Stell, who appeared at the grand opening on June 10; Americana and country-blues performer Pokey LaFarge on June 17; blues and rock musician Jeremiah Johnson on July 1; rock singer Javier Mendoza on July 15; and the country band Whiskey Morning on July 22. Additional local favorites include blues and jazz band Miss Jubilee and the YAS YAS Boys and tribute bands like Black Magic: The Santana Experience and Memories of Elvis. These performers and others will take the Cider Shed stage now through Sept. 25, and tickets are available to purchase online at belleville.eckerts.com/#/event-list. “We wanted it to be a space that families and couples and friends could enjoy on a year-round basis, enjoying good food, delicious drinks and a lot of fun,” Morgan says, noting Eckert’s plans to use the Cider Shed for other forms of entertainment, yet to be determined. “Inside the actual Cider Shed, we have barn doors that can close to allow for a private event space,” Morgan details. “We get so many requests for people who are wanting to book bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties, retirement parties … The list goes on and on. This will offer us another opportunity to form additional space to host those kinds of intimate gatherings.” The private event space will hold up to 80 guests. For refreshments, the family company has partnered with Brick River Cider in St. Louis to develop several signature hard ciders, both available on-site in the can or on tap. All of the alcoholic apple ciders feature notes of homegrown fruits. The Well Red’s main ingredient is
strawberry, while Berried Alive! captures the flavor of a tart blackberry. Peach and Quiet is a fan favorite, due to its irrepressible sweetness, and Roadcider sticks with the classic apple. Expect a soon-to-be-released hard cider that combines mango with some heat from habanero. In addition, a second attraction promises to make a popular food item perennial. The space where Eckert’s previously hosted cooking classes has been transformed into Mr. E’s Donut & Custard Shop, which will allow for one of the farm’s biggest draws – its cider doughnuts – to be served all year long. The cakelike creations also can be ordered with a scoop of creamy custard served between doughnut slices, with toppings like Dutch apple pie and caramel and pecans or strawberries and sprinkles drizzled over the top. Summertime in St. Louis may never have tasted this sweet. Eckert’s – Belleville Farm, 951 S. Green Mount Road, Belleville, 618-233-0513, eckerts.com
