from the

EDITOR ‌BEFORE OUR LITTLE GUY WAS BORN, I PAID LITTLE TO NO attention to the ingredient list on the cleaning products being used in our home. At the same, all I cared about was that they worked. However, now that little fingers and hands grace every surface of our house – some way, somehow – and then ultimately make their way into his teething mouth, it’s more important than ever to be informed about what’s in the products I’m buying.

Whether or not you have little ones, though, using nontoxic cleaners is important. And luckily, several residential cleaning companies in the St. Louis area have recognized this and made it their mission to use nontoxic chemicals to clean local homes. Starting on p. 26, LN contributing writer Brittany Nay speaks to three local companies about why they made the switch to green products and the benefits of doing so. We hope this article inspires you to go green when you clean.

Also in this week’s edition, make sure to check out LN staff writer and digital editor Robyn Dexter’s story on Flyover Living – a clothing line created by two Kirkwood sisters that shows the Midwest is more than just a flyover state. We hope you enjoy reading more about their leisurely brand, starting on p. 36.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

The article shares that Bonboni’s “mintpainted mullions and a welcoming flower display against the weathered brick makes this is the perfect setting to discover the array of old and new items that have been carefully sourced by the shop’s owner, Lauren Thorp.”

The Eta Boulé of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, the oldest African-American fraternity in the country, recently announced its gift and partnership of $33,500 with Harris-Stowe State University as part of a leadership development program. According to a press release, “both organizations are committed to helping increase the representation of college-educated African-American men in positions of leadership in the St. Louis region.”

tarting this weekend on Nov. 11, bold colors, images and messages will emblazon the walls of the Saint Louis Art Museum. The art museum’s latest exhibition investigates the endless potential of printmaking in “Graphic Revolution: American Prints 1960 to Now.” “People will learn about the state of American contemporary art through this show and how printmaking has influenced it in the past 60 years,” notes co-curator Elizabeth Wyckoff, the museum’s curator of prints, drawings and photographs.

The exhibition is arranged thematically, allowing for comparisons throughout the generations.

The sheer scale of some prints might surprise spectators, as will the diverse materials used, which include plexiglass and felt. Featured prints often appear in a series, such as Andy Warhol’s 10 “Campbell’s Soup Cans” or the 60 works comprising Ellen Gallagher’s “DeLuxe.”

“We move through the decades up to the present moment,” explains co-curator Gretchen Wagner, the Andrew W. Mellon Fellow for prints, drawings and photographs. “The show addresses issues of the times by covering current events [and] critiquing social norms. In the 1980s, for example, a number of artists, such as Barbara Kruger, thought about the messages that mass media presented.”

Kruger worked as a designer for fashion and lifestyle magazines, including Mademoiselle, from which she drew inspiration as an artist. “Kruger turns texts and slogans found in beauty products and advertising on its head to speak about issues of gender identity,” details Wagner. “Printmaking is so much about duplication and the reproduction of images. [Contemporary] artist Ellen Gallagher looks specifically at beauty and lifestyle products geared toward black audiences. She takes advertisements and reworks them to tease out the implied messages. ‘DeLuxe’ is a visually engaging, WHAT/WHEN/WHERE monumental print portfolio.”

“Graphic revolution: Social issues often crop up, from World War II and Korean War veteran H.C. Westermann, whose memories are portrayed American prints 1960 to now” throughout his portfolio, to a piece by Andy Warhol, featuring an nov. 11, 2018 to Feb. 3, 2019 Associated Press photo of Jacqueline Kennedy in the car with her husband, President John F. Kennedy Jr., just before he was shot. main exhibition Galleries “The cross-generational organization of the exhibit allows in the east Building you to see things that are similar, [such as] topics addressed and the media’s influence – and how that changes and stays the same across time,” states Wyckoff.

The works presented in this exhibition come from the museum’s own collections and, in large part, from private collectors and institutions throughout St. Louis. “As Elizabeth and I dug in, we realized there’s been such great collecting in contemporary printmaking here in the city,” shares Wagner. “It’s a world-class survey with great pieces.”

Printmaking continues to have a significant impact on artists today, especially with improved technologies. “Artists brought [concepts] to printers and publishers – ideas they couldn’t often [implement] sitting in their own studios,” Wyckoff says. “Something unexpected comes out of that synergy.”

Discover how this union of creatives continues to make its mark on the contemporary art world in the museum’s enthralling new exhibit.

GREEN

NOVEMBER 9, 2018 | LadueNews.com

Local “green” cleaning companies are keeping clients – and themselves – safer through the use of eco-friendly household products.

A

fter years of working in the residential cleaning field, using everyday household products, Linda Dazey had begun to sicken with respiratory issues from asthma to sinus infections.

That’s when the owner and operator of Dazey House Cleaning in St. Louis began researching every ingredient in common cleaning products. “They are all toxic, cause cancer, asthma and skin irritations, and get into our water supply, thus affecting everything around us,” Dazey says.

Indeed, many of today’s consumer market’s cleaning products commonly used in our homes contain toxic chemicals, such as ammonia, bleach and volatile organic compounds, that can cause health issues from irritated eyes or throat, headaches and even cancer, according to the American Lung Association.

That’s why several local cleaning companies have gone green – to protect clients and themselves – from the negative consequences of using harmful household products. “My employees’ health is by far one of the most important responsibilities I have,” Dazey says. “I maintain strict guidelines for them and ensure their health and safety at all times. In doing so, they ensure our customers a great cleaning experience – one free from toxins.”

Dazey House Cleaning uses a minimalist approach when it comes to its cleaning products: baking soda scented with essential oils, Thieves all-purpose (essential oil-infused) cleaner and Environmental Working Group-certified Biokleen and ECOS dish soap. “Our products are never tested on animals, and they are approved by the Environmental Working Group [a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting human health and the environment],” Dazey says, adding that her company also has been named by the social and environmental standards group Green America as a Green America-certified business for its sustainability practices, which include implementing sustainable products, such as cotton cloths and biodegradable trash can liners, and purchasing locally made equipment, including Simplicity Vacuums from Fenton.

At Green Angel Cleaning Services of St. Louis, owner Stacey Wilund and her staff also use all-natural, nontoxic cleaning products.

“My mom, [who] was already cleaning homes when I started Green Angel … always used harsh chemicals, and I could see how unhealthy it was for her,” Wilund says. “We use a local company who has successfully developed several safe, plant-based products that work amazingly well.”

The use of eco-friendly products benefits employees and clients and their families, as well as their pets, Wilund notes: “Our clients can come home confidently, knowing their children and pets can safely

live in their home without the worries of harsh chemicals being left on all their surfaces.” Wilund does add, though, that clients can also request her team use the clients’ preferred products. “In that event, we can’t guarantee the safety of the product,” she says.

When a house is cleaned with nontoxic products, clients also notice it doesn’t have a heavy chemical aroma when they come home – but, instead, a light, clean scent, Dazey says. “No longer do they come home to the heaviness and toxic fumes of bleach,” she says. “Their children and pets can crawl around on floors knowing [there is] no more chemical residue on the flooring.”

This concern for the well-being of family is what drew Angela Ricketts and her husband, Matt, to co-found their St. Louis-based green cleaning company, Better Life Maids. “It started when our first child was born,” Ricketts says. “As we began to child-proof our house, we saw that under our sink was probably the most dangerous part of our house.”

Ricketts found a green solution to this issue in Better Life, a locally based line of all-natural, nontoxic cleaning products available online at cleanhappens.com and stocked at local grocery stores, including Dierbergs, Schnucks, Straub’s and Whole Foods Market.

“They are made from plant-based ingredients and are independently verified to be both safe and effective,” Ricketts says. “In fact, they clean surfaces more completely than most traditional toxic chemicals and leave behind no toxic films.” The green products don’t build up in your home over time like traditional cleaners that can make your inside environment more polluted than the outdoors, Ricketts continues. “That is why picking green products is important,” she says.

“It is not just about saving the world with idealism – it really is about reducing your exposure to toxins in your home.”

Better Life Maids also uses five-stage HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filtration vacuums, which force air through a fine mesh that traps harmful particles, such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites and tobacco smoke. “The vacuums have powerful motors and powerful filtration,” Ricketts says. “That way, the dust we collect doesn’t get put back into the air through the vacuum’s exhaust. Many vacuums are good about picking up the big particles, but they put a lot of small particles back into the air that is then breathed in. A good vacuum will greatly reduce that.”

In addition, Better Life Maids implements high-quality, longlasting and reusable tools and equipment, reducing waste. “We also have zero paper waste in our cleaning process,” Ricketts says. “We use only high-quality microfiber products like dusters, mops and cloths that last for hundreds of washes.”

Small changes can lead to big results, Ricketts notes. “Over time, homes’ chemical loads will be greatly reduced if [homeowners] eliminate all of the harsh, toxic cleaning products,” she says. “This can have the effect of improved health if they were suffering from any chronic illnesses.” And most important, prevent future health issues, she adds: “We don’t think people need to wait till these kinds of products make them sick to take action.”

Plus, the Fenty Beauty brush’s custom angled design and super-soft synthetic bristles make it perfect for blending liquid and powder formulas with ease. Marc Jacobs Beauty foundation available from Sephora for $46 (sephora.com); Fenty Beauty brush available from Sephora for $34.

2. Prime your eyes with your primer of choice before sweeping MARC JACOBS BEAUTY O!MEGA GEL POWDER EYESHADOW in the shade of Dynam-O! from your lashes to the crease of your eye, using a smudge brush to buff the shadow into your crease. Lighten the look with MARC JACOBS BEAUTY O!MEGA GEL POWDER EYESHADOW in the shimmering shade of Prim-O! by applying it to the eyelid.

Available from Sephora for $29 each.

Two KirKwood sisTers are showing ThaT The MidwesT is More Than siMply a flyover sTaTe wiTh Their cloThing line.

F

or years, those flying from coast to coast have referred to much of the Midwest as “flyover states” – states only seen from an airplane window and not seen as popular destinations. But sisters Emily Puricelli and Lila Kertz have always been enthusiastic about life in the Midwest. Growing up in the suburbs of St. Louis, the pair have long enjoyed the feel-good vibe this region of the country provides.

36

November 9, 2018 | LadueNews.com

Puricelli and Kertz are now raising their own families in Kirkwood.

They’re both mothers of three and working on passing their enthusiasm for the Midwest down to their children. Puricelli says her sister started noticing that her twin teenage daughters kept buying brands like Southern Tide and Vineyard Vines – companies that are based and centered on the East Coast.

“They were spending their babysitting money on [clothing that celebrates] places that are far away,” Puricelli recalls. “We wanted to do something that celebrates where we live. We choose to live here for a reason.”

Three years ago, the sisters came up with the idea for what would become Flyover Living, a clothing company that has the same casual, preppy vibe of popular brands out east – but with a Midwest focus.

“Life here is cool,” Puricelli says. “We wanted to show people what we love about it.” The website adds the sisters’ hearts “are in the rolling hills, the flowing rivers, the open fields and the dense forests of the Midwest.”

Puricelli works in advertising by day, and her sister is a nurse practitioner. While working their full-time jobs, they began producing T-shirts in 2015. They built a website and worked with an art director to create the perfect logo. They took to social media to get people to vote on the perfect symbol to sum up their mission, and the winner was Clark the duck, named after Lewis and Clark.

“It’s been a learning experience getting a small business off the ground,” Puricelli says. “We’ve worked with local retailers and have kept it local.”

All Flyover Living shirts are designed by the sisters and are printed at a local company, along with many of the brand’s hats and visors. The only exception are the hometown hats, which are being produced in another state because the sisters wanted a “specific high-quality style that was unique to the company.”

When they were first getting started, the sisters partnered with Kirkwood High School’s marketing class and had the students come up with a creative plan for how to promote the company. One of Flyover’s first “models” was a student in the marketing class who mentioned the launch to her teacher, who reached out to see if Puricelli and Kertz were interested in being part of the course. Since then, Flyover has partnered with multiple high schools, including DeSmet High School, Cor Jesu Academy and St. Joseph’s Academy, to do logo-printed hats and more.

Puricelli says the high school ambassador program has been great for the business’ publicity and is grateful to the high schools that have played a part in Flyover’s successes so far.

“This has been all about laying down those hometown roots,” Puricelli says.

At flyoverliving.com, shoppers will find an assortment of Midwest-themed products. The site features brightly colored T-shirts bearing the Flyover logo, tank tops with sayings like “made in the Midwest” and “follow your arrow,” an array of hats and visors, long-sleeve T-shirts in more subdued colors, and other items like stickers. Their products are meant for all ages and even include baby onesies. Currently, Puricelli says the hometown trucker hat is the venture’s best-seller, featuring a patch with STL, MIZ or KWD (for Kirkwood). She also says the long-sleeve T-shirts have remained popular due to their high quality and softness.

“It’s perfect for wearing to a bonfire or a boat ride at the lake,” she says.

Currently, the sisters are gearing up for the holiday season. For a while, Puricelli says, they were offering a shirt in every color, but they’ve streamlined their process a bit more to include staple shirts and a few exclusive offerings. They’re going to be releasing a green STL hat, which Puricelli says will be something “a little different.”

Long term, the sisters just want to continue to develop Flyover Living and see where it takes them. They’ve dabbled with selling their products in retailers, but since it’s just the two of them running the business part time, Puricelli says they’d need to bring on more people to make that a reality. They’re also hoping to expand into other areas of the Midwest, as they’re mainly St. Louis-based with some offerings for Kansas City and Columbia-based Mizzou.

“Our goal is to kind of keep having fun with it and see where it goes,” she says. “We’re in a good place right now and want to keep the momentum going. We love our town and are excited to have a product that helps celebrate that.”

Falling For Curls Each year, L’Oréal Professionnel hosts an exclusive, educational event:

G LO BA L ExPERIENCE. This year, eight of our team members were invited to be part of the group of 60 who met in Rome, Italy to take part in a phenomenal educational and cultural experience. Two of those stylists are some of our in-house curl experts: Anna Andrews and Meagan Theodore. These ladies know what they are talking about when it comes to all things texture.

“I love curly hair because it says confidence in oneself,” says Andrews.“It is expressive and it is BEAUTIFUL.” When walking the streets of Rome, the thing most noticed about hair right now is texture.“Being here in Europe, natural is EVERYWHERE,”says Andrews from Rome.

CURLY HAIR HAS MADE ITS COMEBACK IN ITS MOST BEAUTIFUL FORM YET. It is all about creating a natural, effortless look.The majority of our

population has wavy or textured hair, and they often struggle daily with challenges on how to properly maintain a desirable shape.Theodore’s No.1 recommendation to her curly clients is that,“They are not using the right product or amount for their hair type.” Every texture is different, so a product that works amazingly for one, might not work so well for another.That is why we like to approach texture on the individual level.

Our texture stylists have both in-depth education and experience that allows them the ability to assess your particular texture and work with it, rather than against it. Once you have the right cut and products, styling is quick and painless — even in humid conditions like St. Louis. Women are now embracing confidence in who they are, and in turn, we will continue to see textures popping up season after season.

Sweet Potato Okonomiyaki

E

Story and recipe by Amanda Elliott

very year I like to bring one dish to Thanksgiving dinner that breaks a little with tradition and uses a conventional ingredient in a new way. This holiday season, I’m experimenting with okonomiyaki – okonomi means “how you like” or “what you like” in Japanese, while yaki translates to “grill” – a savory Japanese pancake that can be made with a variety of flavor combinations. I love sweet potatoes, so I’ve used them here as my base and added hints of ginger and furikake, a Japanese dry seasoning mix. The dish is finished with a drizzle of Kewpie Mayonnaise – a creamier mayo made with rice vinegar rather than distilled vinegar – Sriracha and bonito flakes. (If you’ve never had bonito flakes, okonomiyaki makes an ideal way to play with them at home: The dried, smoked, fermented and thinly shaved tuna flakes add intense umami flavor.)

ln

SWEET POTATO OKONOMIYAKI You can find furikake, pickled ginger, Kewpie mayo and bonito flakes at most international markets and Asian grocery stores.

Serves | 6 to 8 |  1 large sweet potato, julienned (about 5 cups)  2 Tbsp pickled ginger, slivered  1 Tbsp furikake  2 scallions, thinly sliced  2 large eggs, beaten  salt and freshly ground black pepper  ½ cup all-purpose flour  ⅓ cup vegetable oil, divided  Sriracha (to serve)  Kewpie mayo (to serve)  bonito flakes (to serve) | Preparation | In a large mixing bowl, combine sweet potato, pickled ginger, furikake, scallions and eggs; stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Add flour and toss to combine.

PHOTO BY DREW PIESTER

In a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add ¼ sweet potato mixture to pan, and press into a thin layer using the back of a spatula. Cook until set and golden brown, about 2 minutes; flip pancake over and continue to cook until set, approximately 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining sweet potato mixture to make six to eight pancakes total. Divide pancakes between six and eight serving plates, drizzle each with Kewpie mayo, Sriracha and bonito flakes to taste, and serve.

Linda McKAY

By Alice Handelman | Photo by Sarah Conroy

O

n “High Five Fridays,” firefighters, police officers, community members and parents line the sidewalk and welcome students as they enter Reed Elementary School in Ladue.

“This is a fun experience, but it also connects the children to the community and makes them feel welcomed,” says Linda McKay. “It is one small exercise in the character education program called CharacterPlus.”

McKay, 76, has been a volunteer for more than 30 years to bring communities together in support of positive character development of their youths. She also believes that forming the character of the next generations is one of the most important jobs people have, especially through CharacterPlus, now celebrating its 30th anniversary after having been founded by the late Sanford N. McDonnell.

“Character development is a societal issue,” McKay says. “It is what we are doing to help our young people have the character they need to create the kind of communities where they want to live.”

The green-eyed brunette credits her mother and grandfathers as her inspiration to make a difference. “Until the age of 99, my mom was still involved in her church and community,” recalls McKay. “She taught me to think of others beyond yourself.” She says her grandfathers helped care for her family after her father died in an automobile accident when she was 3. “They were unbelievable role models,” McKay says. “Watching how they cared for our family and the community instilled in me what you are supposed to do as a human being.”

McKay is grateful for the journey she has taken with character education. In 30 years, CharacterPlus has grown from seven local school districts to 62 school districts in Missouri and Illinois. Through its outreach and school network, it touches 300,000 young people and supports 30,000 teachers across 500 schools.

“It inspires and empowers positive character development in young people and is the longest-running and most successful communitywide character education program in the country that connects schools, families and communities in support of character education,” she says.

In 1989, McKay was hired to be the director of the new initiative spearheaded

by McDonnell, then CEO of locally headquartered aircraft/aerospace giant McDonnell Douglas. She served as director of CharacterPlus for 15 years. Her career path changed in 2003, though, when she was appointed by the George W. Bush administration to serve as senior advisor for character education and civic engagement at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C. During her time there, she also served on the President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor

and Combat Trafficking in Persons, which reinforced her commitment to the importance of society having values that respected the dignity of and care for all human lives.

Named in her honor, the Linda McKay CharacterPlus Community Award has been presented annually since 2014 to a St. Louis business, community organization or individual who has demonstrated longtime support to the organization.

McKay is proud that CharacterPlus has been honored with the What’s Right With the Region Award from FOCUS St. Louis and that she received a special salute from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. A past president of the Junior League of Kansas City, Kansas, McKay also was honored in 2002 as a St. Louis Woman of Achievement.

McKay and her husband, Michael, have been married for 58 years and live in Crystal Lake Park. They are the parents of four daughters and the grandparents of 15.

“Whether you have children or not, I think the most important responsibility society has is shaping the character of its young people,” McKay says. “Having community members greet schoolchildren may seem like a small gesture, but it is connecting young children to their elders and teaching them the importance of making people feel welcome. It is building their character.”

The Friends of CharacterPlus fall party will take place on Friday, Nov. 16, at the Moulin Events & Meetings venue in St. Louis’ Lafayette Square neighborhood. To learn more, call 314-692-1215.

Character development is a societal issue.

It is what we are doing to help our young people have the character they need to create the kind of communities where they want to live.

New research offers progress on Alzheimer’s disease from diagnostic and treatment perspectives alike.

A

bout 5.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. The disease also touches the lives of millions more who care for those who can no longer live independently, as Alzheimer’s disease robs them of memories and the ability to perform daily tasks.

Yet there is hope. Bolstered by increased government funding, scientists and academic researchers are making real progress in better understanding the causes and mechanisms of the disease, and a number of new drugs for both prevention and treatment are undergoing clinical trials.

Dr. David Holtzman is contributing to this important body of scientific knowledge through the Holtzman Lab at Washington University in St. Louis. There, 24 researchers and graduate students study various aspects of Alzheimer’s disease, publish in peer-reviewed journals and collaborate with scientists around the world. Holtzman serves as professor and chair of neurology, associate director of the Charles F. and Joanne Knight Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, and scientific director of the Hope Center for Neurological Disorders, all at the university. He is also neurologist-in-chief at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

In the last couple of years, Holtzman and his team made progress in understanding the science behind Alzheimer’s disease. For some time, scientists have recognized that certain proteins (called amyloid beta and tau) that build up in the brain of people with Alzheimer’s disease are important in the processes leading to cognitive decline in the disease. Recent studies indicate that inflammation in the brain also plays a role in disease progression, Holtzman says.

“A variety of advances have come in developing a better understanding of some of the genes and proteins that are in immune cells in the brain that are important in the disease,” he says. One of these proteins, known as TREM2, is genetically mutated in some people, putting them at higher risk for Alzheimer’s disease. “The implication of this is that a number of people are trying to develop ways to target that protein as a new therapeutic approach,” Holtzman adds.

Another recent advancement involves understanding the accumulation of tau protein as a major contributor to the brain damage associated with Alzheimer’s disease. While amyloid beta protein is an instigator of the disease, tau protein accumulation then drives much of the actual damage, causing dementia. “This is knowledge being clarified by the use of tau imaging,” Holtzman says, explaining that for the last decade PET (positron emission tomography) scans have been used to detect amyloid beta accumulation, mostly in research studies and to some extent in clinical care settings, and now are being used to identify tau protein accumulation and correlate it to the sites of actual anatomical damage.

Amyloid imaging has been available for several years, but Dr. Randall Bateman, who serves as the Charles F. and Joanne Knight Distinguished Professor of Neurology and director of Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU) at Washington University, recently found that a blood test may be able to detect amyloid buildup. “From a scientific standpoint, that means you might be able to detect the disease before people develop memory and thinking problems by doing a simple blood test as a screening measure,” Holtzman says. Other research groups have replicated Bateman’s findings, but additional work is needed to validate the findings and approve a standard bloodscreening test for amyloid accumulation.

Moving beyond diagnosis, treatment options are also developing, Holtzman says. A number

of phase III clinical trials for new drugs – the trials needed to advance a drug for approval – will be completed in the next two years and might pave the way to promising new treatments.

“There were large phase II studies that reported promising results, suggesting that not only can you remove amyloid from the brain with some of the newer antibodies, but also there were signals indicating possible slowing of disease progression,” he says. At least three antibodies in clinical trials appear to have an effect of removing amyloid from the brain of humans.

Other, emerging treatments, just entering phase II clinical trials, are being tested to determine if they prevent the accumulation of tau protein in the brain. One of these antibodies was identified in the Holtzman Lab. Holtzman adds that researchers continue to explore how nondrug strategies may decrease risk or progression of Alzheimer’s disease. “One of the things my lab found a few years ago is that sleep deprivation contributes to the buildup of amyloid in the brain,” he says. Studies supporting this finding show that adequate sleep is important. “When you look at people who have sleep deprivation, their levels of amyloid beta in the cerebrospinal fluid increases. If you treat the sleep problem, it could potentially decrease risk for Alzheimer’s disease.”

Treating hypertension, or high blood pressure, is another potential deterrent to Alzheimer’s disease’s development of dementia.

“Studies indicate that the incidence of dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease is decreasing, and that appears to be due to the fact that people Dr. David Holtzman | Photo by Joe Angeles are getting better blood pressure treatment,” Holtzman says. “Vascular damage to the brain, for example from a stroke, along with Alzheimer’s-related changes to the brain can cause dementia to develop earlier than it would otherwise.” Reducing such vascular damage by treating high blood pressure, which has improved nationwide in the last two decades, and taking other steps to ensure cardiovascular health might correlate with the decrease in dementia.

Holtzman stresses that a heart-healthy lifestyle might help protect against dementia. Eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise and participating in social activities are all helpful tactics. He also notes that there is no current scientific proof that any particular supplements will protect against Alzheimer’s disease. “It doesn’t mean they aren’t helpful or harmful, but there’s no evidence from controlled clinical trials that you could base any recommendations on,” he says.

AWARD WINNERS Edited by Emma Dent ‌ t the Spirit of Women “All Decked Out” event, taking place on Thursday, Nov. 15 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel St. Louis A – Chesterfield, St. Luke’s Hospital will honor four local women with the 2018 Healthy Woman Award. Now in its 13th year, the award recognizes and celebrates women who not only take steps to improve their own health, but also inspire better health and enhance the quality of life within their communities. Meet this year’s remarkable recipients:

LAURA DIENSTBACH HARRIS

LAURA VANDIVER

TRICIA WHELAN

DONNA ZUMWINKEL

Laura Dienstbach Harris began playing soccer at the young age of five.

She continued playing throughout high school and college, both at Maryville University and the University of Missouri – Columbia, and persevered through two ACL surgeries.

Since 1999, she has been on the field coaching, cheering young kids through adversity, consoling them after injuries and encouraging them to be themselves and to challenge their abilities. It’s not uncommon for her to stay on the field with kids until their parents are able to pick them up after a game or a practice.

Even though Dienstbach Harris works full-time, she is dedicated to raising her children and volunteering her time as a coach. And she never fails to miss the indoor soccer league games that she plays with her son. At the age of 45, she eats healthy and stays active every day because she believes that a healthy lifestyle fuels your life, energizes you and builds self-esteem. She enjoys helping people and is already encouraging her children to give back to the community.

Laura Vandiver’s healthy journey began in college when her roommate inspired her to take up running. Over time, running became her outlet. She started participating in 5Ks, 10Ks and half-marathons, eventually adding triathlons and Ironman races. In addition to creating her own ultra-marathon, which raised more than $3,000 for Girls on the Run (GOTR) in 2017, she also shares her love of running with young girls as a GOTR head coach.

As a public relations professional, Vandiver has created public health messaging about a range of topics, including the flu, childhood vaccinations and the Zika virus. She has also taught HIV and Hepatitis C awareness and prevention classes, and worked as a strategic communications advisor for the St. Louis Initiative to Reduce Violence.

A Certified Health Education Specialist, medical anthropologist and integrative health coach, Vandiver actively helps others achieve their health and wellness goals. She believes that incremental changes can lead to bigger, lifelong improvements in nutrition, fitness and overall well-being.

One month before her 59th birthday, Tricia Whelan cycled the state of Wisconsin for a week and rode 400 miles with her regular cycling group. A member of the Chesterfield Parks, Recreation & Arts board, she frequently takes advantage of the community’s walking and biking trails. This past September, she participated in and raised money for Pedal the Cause, an organization supporting cancer research.

Whelan’s position as a commercial loan officer at Lindell Bank keeps her plenty busy. She understands the importance of maintaining a high level of energy and tries to incorporate healthy behaviors and activities into every area of her life. When faced with unhealthy foods at networking events, she encourages the organizations to provide healthier options so that eating well is less challenging for attendees.

Whelan has a magnetic personality and is always inviting others to join in her athletic activities. Her excitement for life, along with her genuine happiness and creativity, inspires others to become more involved in the community and to spend their free time being active.

As a licensed professional counselor at St. Louis Community College – Meramec for the past 15 years, Donna Zumwinkel remains dedicated to improving her students’ mental health and works to dismantle the stigma of seeking mental health services.

Having grown up on a farm, Zumwinkel enjoys being outdoors. She regularly walks around campus and incorporates yoga into her daily routine.

She discusses the importance of sleep, a clean diet, exercise and social connections for good mental health with students.

Zumwinkel believes health and wellness can positively impact many of life’s ills. In her students, she recognizes the cultural and lifestyle shifts that have impacted time management and social interactions. While smartphone apps make workouts easier to access and track, technology also promotes a more sedentary lifestyle.

Zumwinkel doesn’t always immediately see how her work has changed students’ lives, however, hearing about their achievements brings her great joy. She believes that focusing on one positive change at a time can lead to greater success and improved overall mental health.

Parc Provence takes a person-centered approach to memor y care, guaranteeing residents of all cognitive abilities are able to live joyful, purposeful lives.

Memory loss, from Alzheimer’s disease to dementia, impacts so many seniors and their families. “We all need each other, and I see this at Parc Provence,” says Kathy Aragon, administrator at the memory care community in Creve Coeur. Turn the page to read more about the community’s continuum of care.

T

he onset of memory loss can feel like a crossroads, a critical juncture that marks the familiar “before” and an unknown “after.” At Parc Provence, a leading provider of memory care for more than a decade, the focus is on possibility, not limitation.

Memory care is the primary focus at Parc Provence. This means every detail – from the warm and supportive architecture of each household to the cognitivespecific programming to the comprehensive training required of each staff member – is uniquely designed to support the needs of residents living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other forms of memory loss.

“Our goal is to empower each resident to function at his or her greatest potential,” declares administrator Kathy Aragon. “We offer person-centered, self-directed care and activities that are specially designed to promote health, well-being and fulfillment.

We provide the highest quality of life for each resident, while also highlighting their individual strengths.”

Because memory loss comes in many forms and progresses at varying degrees, Parc Provence offers a continuum of care that includes assisted living, skilled nursing and even rehabilitation services. With tailored activities, medication management, housekeeping and more, the memory care community is ideal for seniors who seek to preserve their independence, while also benefiting from a little extra memory care support.

For seniors with more advanced cognitive impairments, Parc Provence’s skilled nursing community provides 24-hour, hospital-quality care in a comfortable setting that feels more like home. “No matter the level of care required, Parc Provence is able to serve residents’ needs,” assures Aragon.

Parc Provence boasts a unique and award-winning household design that groups residents with peers of similar cognitive abilities. These interconnected households create “an atmosphere of comfort and familiarity,” says Aragon, who believes that this sense of community is essential for residents at every care level to thrive. “Everything – from the architecture to the interior spaces – is purposefully designed to promote a warm, intimate setting,” she describes of the households, which are also safely accessible to the community’s scenic grounds, walking paths and common areas.

Like the household system, which ensures that each resident receives appropriate support, Parc Provence’s activities are similarly person-centered. “It’s so important for adults with memory issues to stay active and keep their minds busy,” emphasizes Aragon.

“Research shows that socialization and engagement improve brain health.” And with six cognitive-specific programs, the community has an activity for every interest and aptitude.

For fitness enthusiasts, Parc Provence offers a host of group exercise classes, including chair aerobics, chair ballet and chair yoga. Residents can also stay active while soaking up the great outdoors in one of the community’s nine courtyards, or put their green thumbs to good use in the lush gardens or greenhouse.

Offered in both individual and group settings, the community’s art and music therapy programs are especially popular amongst residents. Parc Provence’s art therapy program fuses the creative process of artmaking with psychotherapy to strengthen the cognitive, emotional and physical well-being of residents at differing stages of dementia. Residents with early-stage dementia may work more independently, creating a painting or drawing inspired by a given theme, while residents with later-stage dementia may require more physical assistance from an art therapist.

The nostalgic and expressive power of music drives the community’s music therapy program. Through singing, dancing and playing instruments, residents not only experience joy, but also spark memories.

“Art and music therapies encourage and enhance meaningful interactions with others,” states Aragon. “These connections can help residents reaffirm their sense of self and maintain their sense of personhood, all while maximizing quality of life.”

The expert and compassionate care team at Parc Provence is devoted to ensuring that every resident is able to enjoy a full life, regardless of memory impairment. “Our residents are like our family members,” shares Aragon. “Parc Provence is their home.

Here, they have a voice in their care.”

parc provence’s residents benefit from a wide range of activities.

parc provence boasts many upscale amenities, including restaurant-style dining.

From the menu, guests can choose from old Gringo favorites such as Gringo fries – crispy potato wedges tossed with queso cotija, herbs and chili flakes, served with Gringo ketchup and cilantro “ranch” dressing.

Eight kinds of à la carte tacos are another highlight of the retooled menu.

New taco options include birria-style brisket topped with chow-chow and fresh AvoTerra salsa, which combines avocado and salsa verde. A vegetarian taco option features spice-rubbed jackfruit, roasted corn, pickled red onions, avocado, cilantro and Tajín seasoning.

“I think it’s sort of an updated take on some Mexican classics using some traditional cooking methods, with the introduction of a few twists and surprises,” Sommers says. “Most of the menu has been retouched in some shape or form. We’ve added categories including ‘Machetes’ and have expanded our burger and bar menu.”

Offerings under the Machetes menu category – giant rolled tortillas that resemble Mexican knives of the same name – come stuffed with a variety of savory ingredients. The Carbon-Ator, for instance, comes with steak al carbon, corn, poblano, pasilla salsa, queso fundido, cilantro and crema.

‌Story: The Oberon Play House has been performing community productions for decades, but that may be coming to a halt, at least temporarily. It’s 1942 and almost all of the troupe’s men are fighting for the Allies in World War II. Maggie’s husband, Andy, is one of those men and also the artistic director of the Oberon. With him and so many other regular male players off to war, wealthy banker Ellsworth, head of the company’s board of directors, favors of shutting down the theater until the war concludes.

Maggie makes a counter-proposal. She wants to carry on with the troupe’s scheduled performances of William Shakespeare’s 1599 history play Henry V, with women playing roles usually taken by men. Ellsworth remains adamant in his opposition until Maggie coyly suggests that Mrs. Winifred Ellsworth (who has high school drama experience) would perfectly fit a certain part.

Winifred’s enthusiasm puts Ellsworth in a delicate position, so he begrudgingly allows Maggie to go ahead with her idea. Of course, he warns her that he doesn’t want the company or his wife to be ridiculed for any shabby production values, putting Maggie on notice.

Despite the theater’s modest advertising, though, very few women take an interest in auditioning – so Maggie makes the best of what she has for performers.

For instance, there’s company diva Celeste, who’s accustomed to being the belle of every theatrical ball.

A high-spirited young woman named June appears, impishly noting that her soldier husband likely would disapprove of her involvement in the theater.

A serious young woman named Grace also auditions, fearful of taking anyone else’s role, yet also hopeful for a chance to express herself – especially with her husband fighting air combat missions in Europe. Company seamstress Ida would like to give acting a try, too, which would be a real stretch for this St. Louis-based company to include a black woman in its cast.

The troupe’s lone male still available, Stuart, is eyed suspiciously by some because he isn’t in the military.

His love for performing, though, makes him willing to subject himself to innuendo.

Surprises are numerous, as these stalwart ladies (and Stuart) struggle to escape society’s strictures of sex, race and sexual preference to achieve a common goal: a performance of Henry V that will honor the tradition of the Oberon – and maybe even lead it forward into more progressive times.

Highlights: Shakespeare Festival St. Louis kicks off “In the Works,” described as its “fourth pillar of programming,” with an engaging and poignant production of a new play written by George Brant, which debuted from Providence, Rhode Island’s Trinity Repertory Company earlier this year. This Midwestern premiere is wonderfully funny and thought-provoking.

Other Info: Brant allows other companies to “localize” the setting, which originally was Providence.

This permits director Nancy Bell to insert several clever references, such as one to St. Louis’ Rosati-Kain High School, to familiarize the story with a local setting.

Bell’s accomplished cast is uniformly terrific, although Katy Keating is especially delightful as the wallflower Winifred. Despite her pride at recalling times on the Rosati-Kain stage, Winifred seems painfully wooden until Maggie hits upon an idea which results in a remarkable transformation. Keating has a deft touch with comedy that Bell accentuates in high style here.

Michelle Hand leads this stalwart cast as the indomitable Maggie, who learns that the fight for women’s rights has even more ground to cover than she imagined. Her Maggie is diplomatic, indefatigable, defiantly optimistic and always interested in bringing out the best in her colleagues, both for their development and for their morale in their fight against loneliness during wartime.

Savvy Kari Ely shapes Celeste as a dominating diva, but also subtly reveals her better, more communal self.

As Ellsworth, Gary Wayne Barker impeccably inhabits the role of a white, privileged, upper-class man who likes things just the way they are.

Ben Nordstrom and Jacqueline Thompson stamp the characters of Stuart and Ida with their own distinctive brands of performance aplomb, expanding the Oberon’s cast in ways that will challenge its 1940s audiences.

As Bell’s director’s notes wisely observe, 1942 “was a very different time ... and a very similar time” to contemporary America. There are lessons to be learned in this witty, engaging and astute play, which exhorts its audience to accompany its characters (in a devilish play on the phrase into the breach) “into the breeches.”

Change Is in the Air

L

eaves are falling, swirling in whirlwinds beneath oaks, maples and other trees throughout area neighborhoods. Roughly midway through autumn, change, literally, is in the air, with the winter solstice all too few weeks away.

Among the busiest animals in our yards right now, squirrels are scampering everywhere, leaping from tree to tree with loads of acorns and seeds for their growing stockpiles. Because these wee collectors move too quickly for close inspection, Ready Readers suggests exploring the delightful children’s book Squirrels Leap, Squirrels Sleep by April Pulley Sayre and illustrator Steve Jenkins.

Sayre employs crisp but evocative language to describe the animals, their habitats, attributes and movements. When combined with Jenkins’ deceptively simple but deeply engaging torn-paper collage illustrations, her text invites children to peer at intriguing details impossible to behold in real life. Although squirrels form the book’s focus, various other woodland animals are

included for further discussion.

Ready Readers’ second recommendation this month makes a wonderful autumnal companion to Squirrel Leap, Squirrels Sleep. Children of all ages should be drawn to the charming and engaging illustrations of Baby Bear Counts One by author/illustrator Ashley Wolff. Just one book in an enchanting series featuring the captivating cub, it brims with visual and auditory treasures. Consider the evocative language employed

By Sheila Oliveri

by Wolff in just one of Baby Bear’s new and wonderfilled sensory experiences. Other antics and sounds ensue as Baby Bear encounters squirrels, beavers, deer, crows, turkeys, bees, frogs and more, with animals scurrying to prepare for the coming cold.

Wolff has used linoleum-block printing and watercolors to carefully craft illustrations that invoke a depth of field and wide array of autumnal tones and hues. Her mixed-media graphics feature surprising details that enliven the creatures and settings. Each two-page spread contains a wealth of images to explore, with subsequent examinations unveiling new, previously unnoticed gems.

Flicker FLAME From

to

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photos by Sarah Conroy

A Colorado exhibition now visiting St. Louis gives insights into the earliest works of one of the most influential young artists of the late 20th century.

F

or someone now dead three years longer than he lived, the artistic prodigy JeanMichel Basquiat, who overdosed in 1988 at the unripe old age of 27, continues to command the spotlight, as attested by a free touring exhibition now at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis.

“Basquiat Before Basquiat: East 12th Street, 1979-1980,” which runs through Dec. 30, originated at the Museum of Contemporary Art

Denver and opened here Sept. 7.

The exhibition’s title tells the tale of its content with considerable exactitude: an aesthetic sparking within a 19-year-old unknown whose talent and profile, within a year or so, would burst into an artistic and social conflagration that all too soon would end in something like self-immolation.

CAM executive director Lisa Melandri, who organized “Basquiat Before Basquiat” locally, relates what led her museum to seek the exhibition’s loan

from its Colorado counterpart.

“I saw the exhibition in Denver, and I was greatly impressed,” Melandri says. “The [Denver] curator, Nora Burnett Abrams, put together a show that really gives us new insights into Jean-Michel Basquiat’s formative years as an artist. We not only get a feel for this precocious and clearly talented teenager, but the scene from which he’s emerging – Lower East Side Manhattan in the late ’70s and ’80s, when the art world was wide open.”

Much of the vitality of “Basquiat Before Basquiat” derives from photographs taken by Alexis Adler and other works she preserved through the years, following the single year the two of them cohabited in a sixth-floor walk-up in a squalid “half-derelict squat,” to quote from the exhibition’s eponymous 128-page hardcover quasicatalogue raisonné published by the Colorado museum.

Characterizing the treasure-trove from Adler (now, ironically enough, an embryologist still living in that much-altered apartment) as “stunning,” Melandri continues: “You can feel the care and love she has for the work and for the artist. I thought it was a perfect fit for CAM and an opportunity for St. Louis to see a major artist whose work is rarely available to the public.”

And what, exactly, does that treasure-trove constitute, more or less? “By the time he moved out in late 1980,” Abrams relates, astonishingly, in Basquiat Before Basquiat: East 12th Street, 1979-1980, “he had produced paintings, sculpture, drawings, notes, sketches and collages in their apartment.

He had also painted on a TV set, the floor, the refrigerator, the walls and a door. He left a portrait on his bedroom wall … , a painting on the living room wall and one on the bathroom door.”

With almost hilarious understatement, subsequent to the period central to the exhibition and its book, Basquiat himself succinctly explained such creative fecundity in a 1983 issue of Interview, the American magazine co-founded in 1969 by pop nonesuch Andy Warhol: “I just don’t know what else to do with myself.”

In its initial weeks here, Melandri reflects on the reception “Basquiat Before Basquiat” has enjoyed from local art devotees. “I feel that the community has embraced this exhibition,” she says. “It’s a time capsule of a remarkable moment in Basquiat’s life and in the art world. I think people are finding it inspiring. It speaks to an artistic belief in no limits.

“And because we have later works from extremely generous local collectors, we can witness the transformation of these early ideas and mark-making into the ‘mature’ work of an artist who profoundly influenced the art of the day – and the art of today.”

Melandri, as an art aficionado herself, likewise reflects on the reaction the exhibition initially inspired in her. “I’ve been especially drawn to his text art,” she says. “In many ways, he’s creating concrete poetry on scraps of paper or in the streets.

“He plays with words with a great deal of wit and at times with real power. His work with text opens fields of inquiry about the artist I’d not realized previous to this exhibition.”

Admittedly, to this day, Basquiat and his work all but defy easy encapsulation, especially for someone who might have difficulty aligning the bleary-eyed youth smiling from the cover of the Colorado museum’s hardcover with the tragically gaunt and hollow-looking figure of just a few years later.

“Basquiat’s paintings, covered in graffitilike writing, poetry and personal iconography … , draw upon Haitian, Puerto Rican and African-American

heritage, his interest in jazz and the exploitation of African-American athletes in U.S. culture, among other things,” the art scholars Peter Selz and Kristine Stiles observed earlier this decade in the 1,141-page compendium Theories and Documents of Contemporary Art. “They present raw visual truths evoking the psychic pain of racism, often represented by depictions of the black body as a skeleton, testifying to the young artist’s sense of emotional annihilation.”

As an expert in contemporary art, finally, Melandri addresses resonances between Basquiat’s earliest works and today’s art scene, 30 years after the artist’s death, when Warhol’s (or perhaps photographer Nat Finkelstein’s) infamous 15 minutes of fame have dwindled to something like 15 seconds.

“You need look no further than the artists we have on view alongside ‘Basquiat Before Basquiat,’” Melandri says. “Sanford Biggers’ openness to multimedia – quilt paintings, sculptures, video – aligns with Basquiat’s exploration of all that he had on hand. And both Biggers and William Downs, whose mural Sometimes it hurts was made for our Project Wall, create unique worlds made from the fabric of common experience.

“I think Basquiat opened fields of exploration that many artists are still discovering.”
