And if you’ve seen Rae Marcel’s work, you know this metro area photographer is more than capable of creating dreamy, empowering images for her clients. But staff writer and digital editor Amanda Dahl provides a bigger picture and reports on Page 69 that Marcel is building a safe haven for young mothers through her new studio in Edwardsville, Illinois.

Those who work and volunteer for Stray Rescue of St. Louis envision a future where all animals are loved and properly cared for, and the nonprofit is in the process of constructing a new facility to offer that support to rescued animals in the metro area, as contributing reporter Drew Gieseke shares on Page 16.

This issue is for the dreamers – or rather, those who imagine a bright future and construct it, despite the odds stacked against them.

Don’t stop believing,

On Page 18, contributing reporter Connie Mitchell relays the Macari family’s perseverance in advocating for those, including their daughter, who live with the rare disease known as neonatal progeroid syndrome. By establishing a new nonprofit, they’re creating a community for other families dealing with similar challenges.

There’s no doubt Eckert’s offers the ultimate fall experience. Load your tots onto a tractor for a ride out to Eckert’s outstanding orchard, where the family can explore rows of ripe apples – all for the picking to enjoy either on the spot or later at home. If you are hoping to leave the kids at home, though, Eckert’s also offers an Orchard Date Night (full of apple picking and hard cider sipping) and a Sips & Sunset event. Whether you want to take part in an event or a you-pick experience, plan ahead at eckerts.com, and purchase tickets online for ease of entry.

nimal shelters are struggling right now. Every year, approximately 6.3 million animals enter the shelters across the U.S., the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals estimates, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the issue. For the past two-plus years, many shelters in the metro area and around the country have been operating at maximum capacity.

AGAINST THE ODDS

Stray Rescue of St. Louis, 2320 Pine St., St. Louis, 314-771-6121, strayrescue.org

But Stray Rescue does more than simply shelter animals and pair them with prospective parents. The team helps rehabilitate pets.

16 September 16, 2022 | LadueNews.com

The Stray Rescue of St. Louis Sanctuary,

Ready to Rescue

Adoption & Humane Education Center is the culmination of years of dreaming. Caldwell toured other shelters around the region to see what worked and what didn’t. Eventually, Stray Rescue –a nonprofit that’s operated for more than 25 years – decided to purchase this former auto repair building constructed in 1919.

“It has been vacant for the last few years, and we can’t wait to bring new life into this beautiful old building,” Caldwell adds.

The estimated cost for the new facility is $25 million, with $13.9 million coming from the capital campaign and donations connected with naming rights. When it’s all said and done, Stray Rescue’s new home will encompass 120,000 square feet. According to a press release, the nonprofit anticipates the project will take three to five years to complete.Thenewfacility not only gives Stray Rescue the capacity to save more cats and dogs but also adds more enrichment yards both inside and out, plus a large training facility and more clinic space. Additionally, the building will include

dedicated places for animals fighting parvo or distemper, a designated area for maternity care, larger kitty areas – including a designated space for those infected with FIV and FELV – a Humane Education Center, a Community Vet Clinic and even boarding services.

Stray Rescue of St. Louis hopes to build a better future for animals in the area, thanks to a new facility at 4084 Bingham Ave. in St. Louis, where a groundbreaking ceremony took place in early“WithAugust.the new facility, we will be able to house more animals, have more room to help with the ongoing growing cat population and have a more relaxing and healing environment for all the babies in our care,” says Cassady Caldwell, Stray Rescue of St. Louis CEO.

“Most of the dogs and cats we rescue come straight off the streets and need more time to decompress than most,” Caldwell explains. “And what makes Stray Rescue so unique is we give them that time. We give them what they need to heal, to trust and to understand humans can be good, kind and loving.”

“We are thrilled to grow and expand our reach, not only for the animals but also the community,” she continues. “We have been saving lives for 25 years, and we are just getting started.”

“I’ve read every single study and published article out there about neonatal progeroid syndrome,” she says. “This is a very rare disease, so there’s just not much research published or funding available for it. We want to help change that.” To do that, Macari recently established the nonprofit Neonatal Progeroid Foundation based in Chesterfield. The missionorganization’sistoincrease NPS

The Neonatal Progeroid Foundation’s first event was a golf tournament in August, which raised $22,000. Macari says the event will occur annually, and she hopes for increasing participation each year, as well as additional fundraising events throughout the year. She also plans to continue speaking with and presenting information to scientists and physicians, in order to build a stronger network of NPS researchers

NPS is a genetic disease estimated to be present in fewer than 1,000 people in the U.S., according to the federal Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center, and treatments are extremely limited. It’s diagnosed at or shortly after birth and is most commonly associated with a prematurely aged appearance characterized by a large forehead, wrinkles, deep-set eyes and more visible veins than are typical in babies or children. Other issues affecting children with the syndrome include cataracts and vision problems, growth delays, problems with feeding, developmental delays and a variety of additional potential symptoms.

“I’m not going to just sit around and hope things get better,” she says. “I connected with

Macari says that recent research has identified the syndrome’s genetic code and has found mutations on the PolR3A gene, a discovery that other research can build on, she says. However, while answering some questions, the findings raise others, and Macari is determined to push for additional research that might offer hope for a treatment.

andAlthoughclinicians.Macari is busy with her work as Neonatal Progeroid Foundation president, she always makes time for Gabby and her two other young children. Now an active 6-year-old, Gabby is enjoying first grade in a mainstream classroom, loves reading and is excited about starting dance classes. “She amazes us,” Macari says. “She still has challenges, like the need for a feeding tube, but she’s happy, and that makes us happy, too.”

woman behind PT Soap Co., Cori Kline, might not share initials with the name of her business, but she’s no less represented. “The PT in PT Soap Co. stands for ‘puppies’ and ‘tattoos’ – two things I love and that make me happy!” she says on the company’s website. In fact, Kline’s dog, Stitch, appears in the logo, crooked ear and all, with a heart-shaped tattoo that reads “mom.”

Kline’s research extends to product design, where she is constantly experimenting, most recently with grooming products for men, as well as perfumes, and adding in hempseed or aloe.

New products were announced at the start of this month. Limited-edition soaps in six new scents – pumpkin spice, vanilla oak, apple sage, campfire, eucalyptus and the visually appealing harvest moon – are available to shop online at ptsoapco. com/shop, where you can also find lotion and shampoo bars, dish soap and sea salt scrubs. ln

“[Stitch] is just slightly imperfect, with that one goofy ear,” Kline remarks about the dog who inspired the design. “He was a puppy when I started the business. Just like Stitch, every bar of soap is different. It’s all handcrafted. Even using the same recipe, each soap comes out not in the same design. Like Stitch, they are beautifully imperfect.”

“I’m always studying and researching,” she says. “My values are in every bar of soap.”

To spark seasonal interest and to attract more migratory birds to your rain garden, consider plants for fruit like arrowwood, Viburnum, the native species or ‘Chicago Luster,’ or chokeberry, Aronia ‘Low Scape Mound.’ The showstopping beautyberry, Callicarpa, is splendid in the native species, with brilliant lavender purple berries, the cultivar ‘Early Amethyst’ or Asian selection called ‘Profusion.’ Brighten the late season with winterberry holly, Ilex ‘Red Sprite’ or ‘Sparkleberry.’

 Clove current – Ribes odoratus

 Fringe tree – Chionanthus, native species and Chinese introduction

Ladue landscapes include newly developed rain gardens, natural boggy spots, intermittent rainwater sluices and pond or creek edges. These damp soils are perfect for showy small trees and interesting shrubs.

 Buttonbush – Cephalanthus, native species, ‘Sugar Shack’ or ‘Fiber Optics’

 Elderberry – Sambucus, native species or ‘Black Lace’

 Ninebark – Physocarpus ‘Diablo’ and ‘Petite Plum,’ ‘Darkstar’ or ‘Little Joker’

 Joe-Pye-Weed – Eupatorium ‘Euphoria Ruby,’ ‘Gateway,’ ‘Little Joe’ and ‘Baby Joe’

 Sweetspire – Itea virginica ‘Little Henry,’ ‘Henry’s Garnet’ for fall color or compact ‘Love Child’

 Virginia magnolia – Magnolia ‘Green Shadow,’ ‘Moonglow’ and ‘Northern Belle’

C. ‘Contorta’) or the ripped-muscle twists in the trunks of hornbeam (Carpinus which is also a great larval host for butterflies. Stem colors from the yellow- and red-twig dogwoods add punctuation to the blah tones of the dormant landscape. The peeling bark of river birches can also be a focal point. The dwarf Betula ‘Fox Valley’ or ‘Little King’ is excellent for the edge of a pond or retention basin.

Most folks automatically associate damp soils with weeping willows and hydrangeas, but the world of water-lovers includes many more colorful native plants and horticultural selections. Some of our favorite choices of small trees and shrubs for wet-spot planting include these flowering and pollinator-friendly plants:

Get FeetYourWet

 Witch hazel – Hamamelis, native species or ‘Arnold’s Promise’

For serious creek bank erosion control, try our native rivercane, Arundinaria gigantea as a tenacious, thicket-forming bamboo. ‘Macon’ is a particularly hardy ecotype suitable for our climate. Like its Asian cousins, rivercane will spread, but the aggressive root system is what holds the soil together. It is also very popular habitat for warblers and other birds. Rarely tall enough to use for fishing poles, rivercane is a popular weaving material, so if your colony expands beyond its bounds, just make baskets. ln

Get great red foliage color in the damp spring garden with dog-hobble (Leucothoe ‘Scarletta’), hazelnuts (Corylus, native, ‘Red Dragon’ and ‘Red Majestic’) or cool blue for the summer from Fothergilla ‘Blue Shadow.’ Autumn interest comes from golden-leaved spicebush (Lindera), the multihued witch hazels, witch-alders and cranberry Viburnum.

Seeing so many members of the STAGES family gathered at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center, brought together by our mutual love of the arts, is proof of just how supportive and powerful the St. Louis community can truly be.

GATHERINGS & GOODWILL

Refuge and Restoration, … with over two decades of success helping people in St. Louis County build stable lives, is set to kick off our newest project: the R&R Marketplace. … We have been quietly working toward this moment for years. Through its focus on very specific community needs, R&R will provide co-located opportunities that benefit individuals, families, local businesses and the St. Louis region.

Steve Zwolak, Julius B. Anthony

lorissant-based nonprofit Refuge and Restoration hosted its first annual fundraiser, Meet Me At The Marketplace, in late August at the M1 Bank event space in Clayton. Guests mingled outside as they enjoyed cocktails from the Barley and Vine beverage truck and dinner from Smoked Artisan Barbecue and the Cha Cha Chow food truck. Brian Owens entertained guests inside the event space as they bid on silent auction items. Tim Ezell of local TV station FOX-2 served as the emcee for the night. Cochairs for the event were Sen. Brian Williams, Jennifer and Lou Brock Jr., and Cathy and Jerome Jenkins. Proceeds from the event will benefit the new R&R Marketplace.

“This food makes me feel like I’m home with my mom,” Soriano says. “We have iconic, traditional dishes like tlayuda – a big tortilla with beans, cabbage, Oaxaca cheese, tomatoes and meat – and tamales wrapped in plantain leaves instead of in a corn husk. Everything we do here is from scratch, including grinding our own masa [maize dough] for corn tortillas.”

“I just want people to know that authentic Mexican food is more than just Tex-Mex,” Soriano says. “I’m excited to bring my version of Oaxacan food to St. Louis so people can come try something different they haven’t had yet. I’m pretty sure they’re going to love it.”

Over the years, she gained valuable experience learning how to cook Tex-Mex-style cuisine while working at area eateries. With her first restaurant, Soriano reconnects with her roots by sharing Oaxacan family recipes from her childhood.

From the bar, alcoholic options include beer and margaritas. “Our most popular margarita is made with mezcal,” Soriano says. “In Oaxaca, we use more mezcal than tequila.” Agua frescas are also available, in house-made flavors including horchata, Jamaica (hibiscus) and tamarind.

In her hometown of Oaxaca, Mexico, Yolanda Soriano grew up learning how to cook at her mother’s side. When Soriano was only 13, her mother died, leaving her older sister to become caretaker of the family. At 16, Soriano came to the U.S., and worked in St. Louis and in Illinois before settling in the metro area permanently.

Marcel envisions a downtown center for new mothers. A far cry from that of a hospital, mothers could work here with a nurse or doula on developing their parenting skills through services like lactation consultations and do so in a comfortable setting.

Joe Gfaller, the troupe’s managing director, sees the science, as well as the art, in the way that MTC has affected its audiences through the years. “Recent [National Endowment for the Arts] studies have shown that experiences with theater help children understand difference, build empathy, cultivate creativity and, perhaps most importantly, nurture hope,” Gfaller says.

Inspiredworkshop.bythe enthusiastic response of Rubright’s students to Weil’s weekly visits to the classroom, in 1973 Rubright and Weil began Metro Theater Circus, a professional touring theater for young people. Carol North and Nicholas Kryah were other vital leaders who were instrumental in the troupe’s formative years.

The season concludes with performances of “Go, Dog, Go!” from April 2 to 16 at The Big Top, the multiuse arts facility operated by the Kranzberg Arts Foundation. A revival of one of MTC’s biggest hits in the last 20 years, “Go, Dog, Go!” is “a magical world where dogs are king.”

contributions by Anna Amelia Rose Pickett, and directed by MTC artistic director, Julia Flood, “Spells of the Sea” tells the adventures of a 15-year-old fisherwoman named Finley and a grumpy lighthouse keeper who together traverse the ocean searching for an “elixir of life” to save Finley’s father from a mysterious illness.

Another world premiere, “Spells of the Sea,” will be on tap from Feb. 5 through March 5 at The Grandel. Featuring a book, music and lyrics by Guinevere Govea, with additional creative

The diverse group of artists who composed Metro Theater Circus – which became Metro Theater Company in 1992 – forged a blend of drama, music, storytelling and dance. Eventually, MTC was invited to bring its performances to schools, where students could enjoy its lively brand of creativity.

half a century ago, two young artists envisioned what theater could mean to young people. Zaro Weil, who was studying theater at Webster University in Webster Groves, and Lynn Rubright, a middle school teacher in Kirkwood, shared a common interest in creative drama, which they learned while meeting at an improvisational theater

will be performed Oct. 9 through Nov. 6 at The Grandel. It’s the story of how a “vacant lot in a broken neighborhood in the middle of the city can become a lot of things … blooming into something bigger, better and beyond all expectations.”

In the last half a century, MTC has produced dozens of annual productions, including many original works, for audiences in nearly every state, as well as Canada, Italy, Japan and Taiwan. The company, now housed at 3311 Washington Ave. in St. Louis’ Grand Center Arts District, tours extensively throughout the metro area, as well as outlying communities in Missouri and southern Illinois.

Flood knows well the impact that MTC has had through the years. “Last month,” she says, “within a 24-hour span, two different adults approached me to share a memory of seeing Metro Theater Company perform at their school when they were growing up in St. Louis … The joy of their very first experience with live performing arts was palpable and evident still.”

The troupe’s 50th anniversary will be celebrated during its 2022-23 season, which opens Sept. 9 with “Bold, Brave, Curious!,” written by Mariah L. Richardson and directed by Kathryn Bentley, which will tour area schools through midOctober and be performed for the public on Oct. 15 and“Seedfolks,”16.
