The gala also will include the First Chance Awards, which are presented to two honorees, an organization and individual, in recognition of their dedication to racial equity. This year’s individual recipients are Eriko and Anthony Pope. “They have been incredible supporters of the work we do at Concordance for years,” Smith notes. “As the marketing and development committee chair, Eriko serves a critical role in moving our mission forward as we expand nationally and scale our model in St. Louis. The Popes are committed to making their community a better, more equitable place for all and providing a real first chance to those who were not given one at birth.” &
“Our healing first approach meets participants where they are and with the understanding that recovery is not a linear path,” Smith notes. “We would not be able to walk alongside our participants on their journey without the support of the St. Louis region and its dedication to making our community a better, more equitable place for all.”

To make its services possible, Concordance hosts its annual gala. Presented by World Wide Technology and the Steward Family Foundation, this year’s First Chance Gala will be held at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis, Oct. 15, and it is the nonprofit’s first in-person event since 2019. “We are beyond thrilled to welcome guests to our gala this fall,” Smith says. “This year’s event will shine a light on our mission by sharing our participants’ journeys of healing and hope.”

“We remove the barriers to success so that our participants can focus on healing, reuniting with their families, learning new skills and finding stable employment,” Smith explains. It’s a model that works. Concordance has enrolled more than 1,200 participants, and among those released from prison in the last three years, the reincarceration rate has been reduced by 56%. Mass incarceration is a problem that does not affect all people equally. While Black and Hispanic Americans make up almost 30% of the U. S. population, they represent almost 60% of the prison population.
CONCORDANCE by stephanie wallace IT CAN BE EASY TO DISMISS the issue of recidivism. It’s a problem that’s impact on our everyday lives may not be immediately apparent, especially if we don’t personally know anyone who has been impacted by the prison system. In reality, more than 40% of all people released from prison in Missouri alone will face reincarceration. Recidivism is the third largest social issue in the country, and mass incarceration impacts nearly 100 million people across the United States. “The cycle of reincarceration affects not only the individuals, but also their families, their community and the country,” says Michelle Smith, president and CEO of Concordance. The nonprofit is dedicated to advancing the field of re-entry services to help individuals thrive, rebuild families and strengthen theSincecommunity.itsfounding in 2015, Concordance has been working to break the cycle of reincarceration.
While many re-entry nonprofits focus on one or two primary services, it offers a holistic, integrated approach with 12 services, including behavioral health and wellness, community and life skills, and education and employment.

Christo was famous for wrapping monuments such as L’Arc de Triomphe and the Reichstag—as well as a stretch of rocky Australian coastline—in fabric. In 1983, the self-described ‘irrational’ creator of temporary public art hired 430 workers to surround 11 small islands in Miami’s Biscayne Bay with 6 million square feet of pink fabric. First, they had to remove 40 tons of trash, from tires and mattresses to beer cans, refrigerators and boats. ☛ WHAT MAJOR 1980S THEATRICAL RELEASE DETAILED THE TRUE story of a man’s post-WWII quest to build the world’s best automobile?

LAST ISSUE’S Q & A by bill beggs jr.
south county
Many of us—surely a few natives, plenty of transplants who’ve been here a while and folks who drive into the heart of the StL to work five or more days a week—have only a passing acquaintance with our fine architecture. As in, passing by in the car or walking past in a hurry to get to lunch. It would behoove us all to slow down and simply soak it all in, and on any Saturday between April 2 and Oct. 29, experienced guides will walk with small groups to discuss famous landmarks as well as uncover hidden gems, point out stunning architectural details and touch on the art of historic preservation. Landmarks Downtown St. Louis walking tours provide a little exercise—about two miles at a leisurely pace—along with our history, culture and architecture, from the city’s founding through its present-day development. Groups are limited to 10 participants, so you’ll have all of your questions answered and, we hope, your curiosity sated. If not, you should first take the west tour, which includes our magnificent Central Library. The Lou’s grandest public buildings are a testament to the city’s ambitions during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Learn how they changed the area from blighted to monumental. For example, Soldiers Memorial is a ‘stripped Classical’ gem dedicated by FDR in 1936 to commemorate our heroes of the First World War. It opened to the public on Memorial Day, 1938. Little did our country’s only four-term president know that the worst was yet to come. The memorial, updated to include all of our conflicts since then, recently underwent a major cleaning and $30 million renovation that’s made it a must-see. If you want to do downtown right, of course, you’ll need to take the east tour, too. From the bustling cobblestoned riverfront of French-American fur-trading entrepreneurs to the skyscrapers of the 20th century, you’ll learn more about our famous architectural and engineering marvels, including highlights like the Old Courthouse, Old Cathedral, Eads Bridge, Gateway Arch, Old Post Office and the beautiful, reddish Wainwright Building, widely considered to be the first skyscraper in the county. (Was the sky that much closer to the ground back in the day?) Make reservations at landmarkstours-stl.org. the metro It’s hard enough to be a kid, what with bullies at school and the mystery meat in the school cafeteria. The second issue is reason enough for so many parents to prepare lunch at home. Food safety has been an issue with a couple commercial food products that are lunchbox staples in the past few months. First, Jif peanut butter was recalled because of salmonella. That health scare has passed, apparently. Now it’s CapriSun juice pouches, wild cherry flavor, 5,760 cases in all. Consumers called to complain about the taste. The product touts itself as 100% natural, which was not the case with the affected batch, marked ‘Best Used by June 25, 2023.’ Some cleaning solution apparently mixed with the wild cherry flavor during production at a Kraft Heinz factory, leading to a voluntary recall by the company. No adverse health effects were reported, but it must have been quite a shock, when expecting a refreshing rush of wild cherry flavor, to taste a nasty chemical concoction. No one’s mouth should be that type of clean. That’s what we have toothpaste and toothbrushes for, kids! (Bottom line: Just return the product to the store for a refund.)
For a place that’s really easy to get to, it’s not entirely clear where it is. Officially in ZIP code 63122, it’s certainly not Glendale. But Kirkwood? Des Peres? Neither? Well, once you arrive at 2933 Barrett Station Road—the National Museum of Transportation—it probably will be a while before you want to leave from out yonder in the southwestern hinterlands. The kids will want to stay, for sure. Planes, trains and automobiles are everywhere you look at TNMOT, and youngsters are genetically predisposed to vehicles of any type.
For those adulting full time, many have gears in their skeletal systems and 10W-40 motor oil glurping through their veins. To wit: Some of the rides in the parking lot weren’t purchased for their fuel economy. But few are ‘orphan automobiles,’ like the legendary ‘doozy’—a period nickname for the Duesenberg luxury auto, whose death knell was sounded in the 1930s by the Great Depression. ‘American Orphan Automobiles Through the Ages’ runs through Oct. 20, highlighting vehicles built by manufacturers that have discontinued business entirely. There’s everything from a 1926 Studebaker and 1957 Desoto Firesweep to a 1978 Firebird Trans AM. And, notably, a late-1960s Gerstenlager Bookmobile. This particular bookmobile is where you buy books, not check them out like you would at a metro public library, either stationary or on wheels. Proceeds benefit the ALL Aboard program, which gives kids the opportunity to experience a legacy in motion regardless of ability to pay. Tickets are donated to underserved populations, children in foster care and kids receiving ongoing medical care. Gently used books are welcome. Presently there are many adult books, priced at $5, but TNMOT could use all the $2 kids books guests are willing to donate.

In her 1,000-square-foot pop-up, we sat down in two golden, butter-soft leather chairs that would fit comfortably in your office, kitchen, bedroom, family room … any room. “This is not a static showroom. You can take it home immediately,” she points out. Caroline Wright, her store manager, buzzed here and there, meeting guests and answering questions with a broad, sincere smile. Busch-Transou had offered Caroline’s mom the position; mom wasn’t available, but daughter was. A short get-together sealed the deal. She’d asked another friend about the neighborhood behind the new store; a home became available in due time. She can walk to work. “It’s serendipity!” she exclaims. “I don’t want to overuse the word, but I’m blessed.” And she lives the adage to whom much is given, much is required. Proceeds from a special candle will benefit Little Bit Foundation … about $60,000 has been donated to worthy causes since Busch-Transou realized her dream. Hearth & Soul also partners with local artists and musicians, spotlighting each for a month or so. There’s wellness, of course: Free yoga classes will be held on opening day and the following week at 5 p.m. And you may reserve the space for special events, from a book club to a girls (or boys) night out.

ladue There’s really not much to be said about e-commerce. OK; there’s convenience, but it’s not like you get to chat with Jeff Bezos. It’s quite another thing to visit most any store on either side of Clayton Road along the Ladue retail strip. Who’d ever want to go to a big-box store like Home Depot again, once they’ve been to Schnarr’s? I wouldn’t, nor would my wife, whose beloved dad had shopped there for decades. And it wasn’t just for the fresh popcorn. Customers love stores like Schnarr’s for personalized service—their level of comfort with a small, local retailer has to be earned. So, you may have wondered about the establishment readying to open at 9640 Clayton Road. Hearth & Soul is not to be a fine destination restaurant, although the building appears just as inviting. A ‘hospitality retail’ emporium slated to open Wednesday, Sept. 14, it’s the brainchild of Susie Busch-Transou, who’s coming home from Tallahassee, Florida, where she and her husband raised three kids and ran a thriving Anheuser-Busch distributorship. “Every can and bottle counts,” she says—adding, with emphasis, “but building relationships is the best way to do business.” She also opened her first Hearth & Soul in the Florida panhandle seven years ago, then another in Austin, Texas. Hospitality is in her DNA. Spend just five minutes in conversation with Busch-Transou, and you’ll feel like you’ve known her since high school. “We want you to feel welcome, just like we’re inviting you into our home,” she says. That speaks to the layout of her 4,200-square-foot store: Rooms arranged to show off relevant goods. There’s the family room, the kitchen (you can pick up her father’s shrimp recipe on a complimentary card), the library, men’s closet, women’s closet, an area for pet toys and goodies. On the patio, you’ll find lovingly curated products for outdoor entertaining.
ST. LOUIS IS KNOWN for a lot of things—toasted ravioli, St. Louis Cardinals fandom, calling Highway 64 Highway 40—but what’s up with asking people where they went to high school? As a 62-year-old woman I am still asked that question! Nerinx Hall is my answer. The reaction of the person who asked me always tells me a lot, and if they happen to be an alum or have a daughter who’s one, the stories will start. Other people may use the high school question to judge wealth, location or taste in colors, but for me, I just like finding other Hall Markers in the wild. Nerinx has been on my mind lately as my great niece Charlotte will be starting there this fall—she is the third generation of Fitzgeralds to attend Nerinx! Every year, four all-girl high schools compete in a fundraising competition to see who can get the largest percentage of alumni to donate, and this year, Nerinx won for the second time. (I would add ‘of course they did,’ but the truth is everyone did a great job.) In fundraising, you certainly need big donors to build and expand the campus, but you really need the engagement of small donors who show their love for the school because they are the ones who will, for decades, give it a five-star review. I’m sure there are some girls who went to Nerinx and thought, “I have got to get out of here.” To be honest, I had a few days like that. But for most girls who enter as freshmen, they stick around for four years, go on to college and eventually start their career, which is when it’s time to start writing checks to the old alma mater! And this is where I become befuddled. We have so many amazing all-girl schools in St. Louis, and the number of alumni who give back is low compared to the all-boy and co-ed schools. And I don’t know why. I am confident they know how to write a check, hand over a credit card, Venmo or deliver rolls of quarters. I graduated from Washington University, and though I can’t complain about the education, it did nothing to form me as a person. Nerinx did that—along with my parents! My sense of who I was and who I could become was formed during those teenage years, like they are for most people. So, the next time you are asked for a donation, if you went to an all-girls school, get your checkbook out. For those of you who haven’t been asked for money, now is a perfect time to tell your favorite teacher exactly what they meant to you. They don’t hear it enough. Oh wait, I hear something about college debt being an issue. Did you miss the part where I said I went to Washington University? Oh, and I married someone who also went there so we could consolidate even more debt! Love is debt-blind, as they say. Anyway, all schools are happy with even a $25 donation. . Go Markers! Peace my peeps! &

Q: I’m conflicted about accepting a top executive promotion opportunity that would require considerably more in-person time at the office. I am hopeful I can convince the firm that I can not only effectively manage the position, but also can and prefer to do so working primarily from home. What are your thoughts on this issue?
A: Every work situation these days offers unique opportunities and challenges. Although this certainly is your call, some research indicates that if you want a promotion, try not to be so remote. On the other hand, some businesses say employees can work from home without putting promotion goals in jeopardy. In my opinion and recent experience, it depends on the job, the company’s culture, the organization’s respective measurement guidelines for sustained, successful management and the boss.
Although there are fewer companies expecting employees to be in the office five days a week, hybrid workers can run the risk of misunderstanding what is required and what it really takes to succeed. For instance, some businesses have made it crystal clear that a minimum of working 40 hours a week is the only way to thrive, or even survive, at their company. Other business leaders have expressed similar concerns for remote work. According to these same executives, telecommuting may suffice in certain roles; however, leading from a home office in front of a computer screen may not cut it for those who want to be a member of the upperPerhapsranks.what is even more telling is a recent study, conducted by Northwestern University, of more than 400 tech companies. The study showed remote and non-remote workers received the same number of promotions; however, the salaries of remote workers grew more slowly. At companies where remote work was less common, those working at home won fewer promotions. People who are in close proximity to the boss tend to have an advantage. If you know your boss values face time, then you may want to put some in. Office-goers sometimes enjoy special status even at companies that have embraced remote workers. Keep in mind that if you want to negotiate a hybrid arrangement, you are vulnerable to your management’s policy as well as to the economy. And, if there is an economic downturn, my sense is all bets are off. It also is my understanding that remote workers aren’t legally protected like other working groups that include women, minorities and people with disabilities. As such, for those who feel infrequent in-person work at the office unfairly costs them promotions, they could have little recourse. My advice is to have a clear understanding of your company’s policies and guidelines (including the boss’ preference). Be aware of the economy and its possible impact on the job market horizon to guide your decision as well as your personal needs and career goals. Good luck. & by joan berkman

Most recently, she served as head of school at Radcliffe Creek School in Chestertown, Maryland. She has two master’s degrees in educational psychology and moderate special needs “The deep-rooted commitment of Miriam to serve children who learn differently in the St. Louis community is a dream come true for me,” Bamford says. “When I visited Miriam in the fall, it was easy to see our teachers’ devotion to their students and the joy our students had coming to school each day. I was struck that all of the people I met shared and believed in the mission of our school. I find that so incredibly inspiring.”

THE PAST & PRESENTINGCONNECT SOCIETYHISTORICALMISSOURITHEOFCOURTESYPHOTO
What do you hope you achieve during your time as president? I’m looking forward to finding new ways to tell St. Louis’ story. We’re always looking for new methods to make history engaging and thought-provoking. We just opened Coloring STL. It’s an architecture exhibit that has great artifacts and photographs, but guests also can color on the museum walls. We created dry erase wallpaper with outlines of famous buildings. You can color them in and learn their history. I love the kinds of activities that sneak in the history. I want to find new ways to make the subject accessible, even for people who think they don’t like it. Throughout the 2020s, we’re going to be opening new core galleries and sharing our collection by digitizing it and making it available online. I can’t wait to share all the things that are coming with our audience. What initiatives are you especially excited about? Our Thursday Nights at the Museum program. Each Thursday, we stay open late to host a happy hour and put on a performance on our main stage, whether it’s a lecture, concert or film. We’ve covered a lot of topics. We reunited the first all-girl punk band in St. Louis and even held a wrestling match to celebrate Wrestling at The Chase. We’re showing what a museum can do to make history more engaging. &

Have you always been interested in history? I’ve been interested in storytelling and building community. That’s why I got involved in journalism and pursued a doctorate in American studies. I found that museums are the perfect middle ground for community engagement between journalism and academia. It’s a way to create deep connections. Some people come to museum positions with a background in history or museum studies. For me, it really was that love of community and St. Louis in particular.
JODY SOWELL, PH.D., knows the power stories have when it comes to building community. He started his career in journalism. When he came to St. Louis to pursue a doctoral degree, he fell in love with the city and took the opportunity to work with the Missouri History Museum. After 16 years of sharing the StL’s history, he’s taken on the role of president of the Missouri Historical Society.
Do you have a favorite exhibit you’ve worked on with the Missouri Historical Society? I tell people that I don’t pick favorite kids or favorite exhibits. I really love all of them. What excites me the most is the variety of exhibits and projects we have created. I feel that we can introduce people to a part of St. Louis they haven’t encountered, even if they’ve lived here their entire lives. We might focus on civil rights one year and architecture the next, but what we’re really doing is giving you a deep look at the history of St. Louis through different topics.
How did you develop programming when the pandemic closed museums? Our work during the pandemic really showed the strength of the Missouri Historical Society, even when we couldn’t welcome people into our locations. COVID-19 didn’t stop us from sharing history. We moved a lot of projects online, created new videos and launched the #UpliftingSTL social media series where we shared happy and optimistic stories from St. Louis history every day. It allowed people to take a break from concerning headlines and use the past to face the challenges of today. It’s not enough to just say history is important. It’s about showing people how it’s still relevant. What we did during the pandemic is a prime example of that.
You are originally from Tennessee. What brought you to St. Louis? I was born in Memphis and grew up in Arkansas. I came to the University of Missouri for my master’s in journalism. I stayed and taught at the university and worked as an editor at the Columbia Missourian. I moved to St. Louis to earn my doctorate in American studies from Saint Louis University. I thought I would go back into teaching, but my family fell in love with the city, so we decided to stay here. When a job opened at the Missouri History Museum, I took the opportunity.

Meier urges women to learn their risk for breast cancer, noting that it’s not based solely on family history. “It is multifaceted and can include race, reproductive history, breast density, body mass index and social habits, such as drinking and smoking,” she explains. “In my former role, I was responsible for notifying women that they had breast cancer, including very young patients. Our team honors these women daily as we work tirelessly and diligently to promote access to breast cancer screening, so we can minimize the loss of life and maximize the quality.”
& COVER STORY DEDICATED CARE SSM HEALTH by stephanie wallace PHOTOGRAPHYPARKERTIMPHOTO:
Screening initiatives include breast exams every six months and annual mammograms and breast MRIs. Risk-reduction strategies can include medication and surgical intervention. SSM Breast Care’s high-risk program provides targeted care. The team includes breast specialists, high-risk dedicated nurse practitioners, certified genetic counselors and radiologists who are breast-dedicated, which means they do not read general radiology. “This type of focused, precision-based care makes us unique,” Meier says. “The dedicated high-risk nurse role was created as a commitment to ensure our high-risk patients have full-time support in all of their care needs. We recognize that our patients have a multitude of factors and barriers that influence their decision-making. Through that recognition, we are able to ensure personalized delivery of compassionate and exceptional care.”

ABBY MEIER, RN, BSN, CN-BN, had worked at health institutions for years before she learned she was at high risk for breast cancer. “When I discovered that I was high-risk, it occured to me that if I wasn’t aware as a clinically trained individual, what about those patients who don’t have a background in health or don’t have access to care?” she says. “My passion is to promote risk assessment to all women and provide more breast cancer screenings.” Meier is the manager for SSM Health’s breast cancer high-risk program, which is dedicated to providing personalized, compassionate and patient-centered care. Unlike age-based cancer screenings, patients can begin high-risk screening as soon as they complete a risk assessment. Women who are at high risk of breast cancer can develop the disease before they reach 40, the standard age recommended for regular mammograms, and these cancers may be more aggressive and have a quicker rate of spread, according to Meier. “There are multiple definitions for high-risk patients, including having a risk of 20% or greater of developing breast cancer in their lifetime,” she explains. “We encourage all women to seek a breast cancer risk assessment before age 30, so that if they are found to be high-risk, they can begin breast cancer screening when it’s appropriate. Early detection saves lives.”
After a patient completes a risk assessment with SSM Breast Care, both they and their doctor are informed in writing if the results indicate a high risk for cancer. The team also reaches out via phone to begin facilitating care, including making an appointment with the high-risk clinic, and if genetic testing is recommended, patients also meet with a genetic counselor. “Our care centers around breast cancer screening and risk-reduction strategies,” Meier explains. “Each member of our team helps to provide compassionate care that is centered around the specific needs of the patient.”

WHO WAS THE ONE PERSON YOU WERE OVERLY EXCITED TO TALK TO? Reggie Jackson.
FILL IN THE BLANK: I WOULDN’T BE HERE IF IT WASN’T FOR … This may be low hanging fruit, but it’s my mom and dad. Every time that I got knocked around in this business, they always made me keep perspective on who I am and what my goals are. They’re the two people who formed my personality, especially in terms of work ethic and determination.
WHY HAVE YOU CHOSEN TO SAY IN ST. LOUIS? I’ve worked in New York, Orlando and D.C., but this town reminds me a lot of my hometown, Baltimore, Maryland. Both of them are great baseball cities, they lost football teams, and while we don’t ask about where you went to high school in Baltimore, both have a neighborhood-type feel. St. Louis always has held my heart because it feels like home, and people have treated me that way.
OFF the claibornecuff maurice drummond w/
WHAT INTERVIEW ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF? I’m going to say Hank Aaron. I got the chance to interview him for about 10 minutes. We talked about his career, but at the end, I asked him to talk about the number of Black men in the game. He said that he was very disappointed in those numbers. That interview sparked a special that I was able to produce and host called The Color Baseball. We got Ozzie Smith, Dusty Baker, Don Baylor and a number of other guys to examine why we’re seeing the number of Black players dip. It really changed the trajectory of my career.
In his more than three decades in television, Maurice Drummond has worked at some of the biggest sport networks in the country and interviewed legends like Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan. But you won’t find him covering a baseball diamond or football field now. In 2020, he took on a new challenge: delivering St. Louis the news as part of the morning team at KMOV.

WHY DID YOU MAKE THE TRANSITION FROM SPORTS TO NEWS? My last ride in sports was 2019 when the Blues finally won the Stanley Cup and the Cardinals made a deep run in the playoffs. Then suddenly we were dealing with COVID-19 and the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor—the whole world changed. Now, I’m in morning news at a time when people are looking for that information. It’s a challenge and an honor to be the first voice on the air each day.
WHO IS THE BEST DRESSED MEDIA PERSON NOT NAMED MO DRUMMOND? Art Holliday. From pocket square to tie, everything is always impeccably placed. YOU WOULDN’T BE CAUGHT DEAD WEARING WHAT ? A Yankee jersey or any other gear. Read the entire interview on townandstyle.com.
BEING ON TV EVERY DAY REQUIRES YOU TO DRESS WELL. WHO GIVES YOU ADVICE ON WHAT TO WEAR? I get some pretty good advice from my man Scott Holliday over at St. Louis Suit Co., but if you’re talking about just getting up everyday and putting my threads on, it’s all me. In sports, I wished I had a little more time to show folks what I got. Now, I’m sitting in front of people’s faces for three hours.
OTHER THAN GETTING UP AT 2 A.M. TO GET READY FOR WORK, WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE? When you’re covering sports, you come at the end of the program. You’re lightening up the mood. People want to hear about their teams and get some good news. The challenge with the news is that you are at the very front, and chances are you’re covering some of the toughest moments in people’s lives.

Cataracts: This common clouding of the eyes develops due to aging or injury and is caused by proteins and fibers in the lens breaking down. Most cataracts develop slowly and don’t affect vision early on, but with time, they begin to disturb a person’s eyesight.
Amblyopia: Better known as a lazy eye, the condition refers to reduced vision in one eye. It occurs when there is a breakdown between how the brain and eye work together. Since the brain cannot recognize sight from that eye, it relies more heavily on the other. The vision in the weaker eye gets worse, and it often wanders inward or outward. Amblyopia usually develops in early childhood, and early intervention can prevent long-term problems.
Strabismus: Better known as crossed eyes and also called hypertropia, this condition is marked by a misalignment of the eyes that causes one eye to deviate while the other remains focused. If the eye turns inward toward the nose, it is called esotropia, and if the eye turns outward, it’s known as exotropia. Misalignment can occur in newborns, but they often outgrow it by three months of age. In children if left uncorrected, it can lead to amblyopia. & OPHTHALZ:MOLOGYBYSTEPHANIEWALLACE NATIONAL EYE INSTITUTE, CLINIC
Your eyes are your window to the world, so it’s important to take good care of them. There are several conditions that can impact our eyes and, in turn, how you interact with everything around you. When it comes to keeping tabs on your vision, regular eye exams and treatment at the first sign of a problem are a must. To help you see clearly, we’re breaking down some of the most common eye diseases and disorders.
Myopia: The opposite of hyperopia, myopia is more commonly known as nearsightedness, and it refers to difficulty seeing objects far away. It occurs when the eyeball is longer than normal or the cornea is curved too steeply. Nearsightedness can develop gradually or rapidly, and it often worsens during childhood or adolescence.
Astigmatism: This common problem causes blurry or distorted vision. It results from an imperfection in the curvature of either the cornea or lens. Instead of having a curve like a ball, the surface is more egg shaped.
Hyperopia: Better known as farsightedness, this common condition impacts the ability to see objects nearby. It is caused by a refractive error due to the cornea being curved too little or the eyeball being shorter than normal. Farsightedness is usually present at birth and can run in families.
Blepharitis: Affecting the eyelids, this condition leaves them swollen, red and sore. It also may cause crusts, flakes or oily particles to form at the base of the eyelashes. Blepharitis is common among people who have oily skin, dandruff and rosacea. It usually occurs when oil glands near the base of the eyelashes become clogged. Blepharospasm: This condition causes blinking or other eyelid movement that can’t be controlled. It usually starts with small twitches that increase with frequency overtime. It occurs when the part of your brain that controls your eyelid muscles stops functioning correctly.
HEALTH & BEAUTY
Age-related Macular Degeneration: The leading cause of vision loss in older adults, this condition is caused by damage to the macula, the part of the retina that controls sharp, straight-ahead vision. It results in blurry central vision, making it difficult to read, see faces, drive or do close up work, but it doesn’t lead to complete blindness.

SOURCES:
Glaucoma: A group of eye diseases, glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in people over the age of 60. It causes vision loss due to damage to the optic nerve, which is often the result of increased pressure in the eye. Many forms have no warning signs, and the impact is so gradual, you may not notice a change in vision until it’s at an advanced stage.

DRIVING SAFELY Age-related vision changes can make driving more challenging, such as not being able to see road signs clearly or read the car instrument panel, difficulty judging distances, problems seeing at night or in low light, and loss of side vision. Here are some tips to keep you and everyone else on the road safe:
As they age, some people deal with low vision, which means their eyesight cannot be fixed with glasses, contact lenses, medication or surgery. Signs of the condition are difficulty seeing during everyday tasks like reading or cooking, having trouble recognizing faces and finding that lights don’t seem bright.
Changes in vision are a normal part of aging. Many of them can be easily adapted to with simple interventions or corrected with glasses, contact lenses or surgery, but older adults also are at risk of several eye diseases and conditions. Make sure you’re keeping track of vision concerns so any problems can be spotted early on.
Many signs of early stage eye diseases are not apparent. Dilated eye exams are performed to find them while they are still easily treatable and are less likely to cause vision loss. The National Institute on Aging recommends that everyone over the age of 50 have an annual dilated eye exam, even if they don’t wear glasses or contacts. After age 60, you can switch to having one every two years, unless you have diabetes or high blood pressure as these diseases can cause eye problems if not controlled or treated.
It’s important to have your eyes regularly checked by an eye care professional because identifying problems early can help prevent vision loss. Many normal changes in the aging eye are not harmful, but they may be indicative of a more serious problem. For example, if you’re dealing with watery eyes, it could be caused by light sensitivity, wind or temperature changes and be treatable with simple interventions like wearing sunglasses or using eye drops. However, it may happen because of dry eye, infection or a blocked tear duct, and your optometrist or opthamologist can help treat it.
▶
Diseases like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy can lead to permanent vision loss in varying degrees Your eye care professional may recommend interventions that can help you adapt to vision loss, such as magnifying devices, video magnification or handheld or spectacle-mounted telescopes. There also are steps you can take at home as well, such as brightening lighting or installing motion lights to avoid accidents, using devices with large screens or adding large-print labels to appliances like your microwave or stove, installing dark-colored light switches and electrical outlets so you can easily find them, and using colored tape on the edge of any stairs.

DEALING WITH VISION LOSS
KIDNEY DISEASE AND DIABETES
by stephanie wallace TREATMENT FOR LIVER DISEASE
Researchers at Saint Louis University, in collaboration with Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals and Takeda Pharmaceuticals, have reported the first effective drug to treat a rare genetic liver disease. The disease, which previously could only be treated with a liver transplant, is associated with an alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency. AAT is a protein that is made in the liver and helps protect the body when warding off infections. “This is the culmination of more than a decade of work to cure this disease, and a significant part of the work was done here,” lead author Dr. Jeffrey Teckman says. “We have patients come from around the country to see SLU’s expert faculty members at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital for care and to participate in our studies.”
LUNG CANCER RECURRENCE
The leading case of kidney disease is diabetes. In order to improve treatment and protect the kidneys of patients, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine are using mouse models to explore the use of a combination of diabetes treatments. “SGLT2 inhibitors have had remarkably positive effects on kidney disease in diabetes, the best effects that we have seen in decades, yet scientists have not understood specifically how and why these drugs work so well,” says senior author Dr. Benjamin D. Humphreys. “By studying mice, we found that these drugs may work even better to protect the kidneys when combined with other diabetes drugs, and with this approach we should be able to achieve better outcomes in patients because the drugs act in a synergistic way.”

A NEW PARTNERSHIP Mercy has launched a 10-year collaboration agreement with Mayo Clinic. This first-of-itskind alliance will use years of deidentified patient outcomes and data science to pinpoint diseases earlier and identify best treatment options. “We have a unique opportunity today to transform mountains of clinical experience into actionable information that optimizes patient care,” says Dr. John Mohart, president of Mercy communities. “This gives physicians, providers and operational leaders critical information that can ensure patients receive the right treatment at the right time based on millions of previous patient outcomes, while simultaneously improving operational efficiencies and lowering costs.”
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine received a $5.3 million grant from the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health. The funds will be used in a study aimed at identifying patients with early-stage lung cancer who are at high risk of having the cancer return. Around half of patients who have non-small cell lung cancer cured with surgery and chemotherapy experience a recurrence of the disease, and currently, there is no way to identify which patients are at highest risk of having tumors return. The study will analyze tumor samples from 8,000 patients in clinical trials at 1,242 sites across the country.

While the pandemic has made isolation necessary, it’s also served to remind us just how important human touch and connection can be— especially among the older adult population. According to the National Council on Aging, social isolation impairs mental performance, compromises the immune system and leads to heightened risk of chronic disease, as well as depression. Prolonged isolation can lead to health risks that are equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Isolation hurts people of all ages, but in senior living communities, it has presented a poignant challenge: how to keep residents safely isolated but still interactive, supported and integrated. Many senior living communities have risen to this challenge with ingenuity and determination. Eager to find ways for their residents to connect safely, Cedarhurst Senior Living recently launched Living TRUESM, the personalized life enrichment program aimed at restoring and accelerating full engagement with daily life by tailoring each day’s plans to individual wants and needs, relating to everyone with genuineness and integrity, uplifting abilities and encouraging strengths in each person, and exciting the senses and making every day rich and fulfilling.

What have you enjoyed about the neighborhood? Everyone is very friendly and watches out for each other. Once, we had a tree fall while we were away, and our neighbors called to let us know. There really is a sense of community. I also love that there is not a lot of traffic in the neighborhood, but it’s still centrally located, so you can get to Highway 40 or Clayton Road very easily. You’re surrounded by golf courses, and it’s easy to walk to a lot of places in Ladue.

The Ladue property’s design was inspired by the governor’s house at Williamsburg. That classic charm is paired with modern amenities and enough space for a family to easily make themselves at home. The current homeowners need to downsize since their children are grown, and they hope a new family will love the property as much as they have.

What are some of the home’s standout features? The No. 1 feature is the spiral staircase. It is ridiculously beautiful. The home was originally built by the Zorensky family, who developed the Galleria and Northwest Plaza. They had the staircase built specially, and there was a hole in the house for a year while they waited for it to be completed. It’s three stories high, and I have a hard time not imagining Rhett Butler is about to come sweeping down the stairs. How is the home for entertaining? It’s perfect. The entryway is huge, and the living and dining rooms are on opposite sides with the kitchen and den in the back. Moving about is very easy. The grand staircase goes down to the lower level where there is a rec room, summer kitchen and changing rooms for the pool. If you’re having a pool party, people don’t need to go upstairs for anything. There is a lot of open space for entertaining. Tell me about the outdoor space. There are many plantings of ornamental trees. The front has a rose garden, and there are more plantings around the pool. It’s very attractive. Do you have a favorite room? We personally live in the master suite. It’s a European master, so it has two bedrooms, a large bathroom and a separate closet area. There also is a seating area and space for a panic room if you want to add one. It’s fabulous. Is there anything you want the next homeowners to know? A lot of time went into every detail in the home. It’s beautifully built, and you won’t find something like it anywhere else. The Zorenskys really cared about what they were doing and put their energy into creating a beautiful home. When we bought it, we did a house tour fundraiser for breast cancer, and the Zorenskys came. We invited them to dinner, and they told us everything. They took so much joy in the home, and it’s clear they really cared that someone else would, too. &

From the Arch to Grant’s Farm, one of the benefits of living in St. Louis is its sense of history. Some are lucky enough to make it part of their everyday lives by owning a home in one of the city’s beautiful, historic neighborhoods. That’s the case for this Central West End property. Inspired by time spent in Europe and their heritage, the homeowners have made the 130-year-old home their own while remaining respectful to its long history.

F30 | TOWN&style | AUGUST 24, 2022 WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
Older houses are quite a lot of work. People often tackle them room by room, but we wanted to just do everything at once. We did a 15-month renovation to update everything. We worked with PK Construction and Karr Bick for the project, and it was a great experience. It’s essentially a new house on the inside, but we were very protective of the history. We tried to be respectful to the original design. In the kitchen, we installed replica beams of the originals that had to be removed. We took the stained glass pattern from the front and brought it into the kitchen as well. On the third floor, we turned a ballroom into an English pub because my husband and I had our first date in one. There’s a chimney in the room that we couldn’t remove, so we thought it would be perfect to create a tribute to how we met.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE HOUSE’S HISTORY?
HAVE YOU MADE ANY MAJOR CHANGES?
I love that it’s a historical neighborhood. When we moved to St. Louis, we didn’t know the area. We looked in the Central West End because our boys were going to go to Saint Louis University High. I saw the street, and of course, I fell in love. All of the houses are so unique, and the homeowners are so passionate about preserving the historic properties. It’s an amazing community to live in. It’s very quiet, but you can easily access the Central West End or Forest Park. My husband and I met in London, so we loved that you could walk everywhere.
It was built in 1892 by William Thornburgh, who was the president of Platt and Thornburgh Paint Company. He installed beautiful stained glass windows at the entrance, which are 18 feet tall. You see them as you enter the house. It’s almost like walking into a church. They were one of the big selling points. We looked at several houses, but none of them had the same wow factor.

I’m originally from Russia. We have a cabinet full of colorful teapots, which are actually Russian china. Some of them come from the 1950s and ’60s. I like that there is something in the house related to my heritage. There also are a series of colorful scarves that are framed in one of the hallways. They are modern replicas of scarves that were produced before the revolution. We wanted to use that wall to bring in something colorful, and they look great.

“... WE WERE VERY PROTECTIVE OF THE HISTORY. WE TRIED TO BE RESPECTFUL TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGN.”
DO YOU ENTERTAIN OFTEN? Yes, we bought the house with the plan to use it as a place to entertain. It’s also great for hosting family and friends. We converted some of the bedrooms to en suites. Neither my nor my husband’ families are from St. Louis, and I have family in Russia and the U.K. We have people visiting us from all over the world. They can come to St. Louis and visit comfortably for an extended period of time. My parents stayed for three weeks, and my husband’s family visited for two weeks. We turned the house into a place that has an inviting feel for guests.

DOES THE AGE OF THE HOME IMPACT HOW YOU APPROACH DESIGN? Sometimes people buy old homes, remove everything and put in modern stuff. We didn’t want to do that. We wanted to keep the feel of the home, so we’ve worked to bring in antique furniture, including items from around the era of the house.

We consulted experts and cut down some trees that were approaching the end of their lives. We put in new landscaping, and our approach was to create something that looked nice but wouldn’t require a lot of maintenance. We planted azaleas, boxwoods and a new grass lawn. There are fountains that were installed by previous owners, and we wanted to bring them into the new garden. Our outdoor spaces really provide another space for entertaining.

Katie Dooley Curran Founding Member Compass St. Louis, Realtor®
1. ’70s style
This year, interior design has been embracing more color and patterns. It’s a fun way to add a unique touch to a room. You can bring in some personality through bright rugs or patterned upholstered furniture like sofas, chairs and even window treatments. If bright and bold colors aren’t for you, checkerboard allows you to add a pop of pattern while still keeping the look sophisticated.
6. make it moody Paint color is an easy way to make a big impact. As it gets cooler, it’s time to put away the brighter shades of spring and summer. Fall is a great time to embrace saturated jewel tones and deep hues. While dark blues may instantly come to mind, it’s not the only color that can be used to create a moody fall vibe. Burgundy, forest green, dark gray, deep browns and even matte black can add a sophisticated yet cozy feeling to any aesthetic.
& 6. 5. 3. 4.
3. plenty of patterns
2. weave it together

4. ahead of the curve
5. bring the outside in Who doesn’t love staying in touch with nature? Biophilic design began in architecture as a theory about forming connections with nature in urban spaces. Now, it’s found a place in interior design. This style is all about bringing nature into man-made areas, whether it’s through light, vegetation or natural materials, colors and shapes.
The revival of 1970s interior design works perfectly for fall, and it actually taps into several other trends. Textured fabrics like bouclé, corduroy, and quilting? Check. Wicker, rattan and other woven elements? Check. Bold colors and patterns? Check. Curved furniture? Check. Plus, colors inspired by the decade, such as avocado green, mustard yellow and burnt orange, give off major fall vibes.
Adding texture is a great and easy way to give a space new points of interest. Woven elements add warmth and softness to any room. To introduce the look, start with baskets, pendant lights, natural fiber rugs and rattan or cane furniture, such as counter stools.

If an architectural change like adding an archway isn’t an option, you can easily introduce curves into your home through furniture pieces. Rounded corners and soft edges can bring a comfortable and cozy feel to a room, while keeping things looking chic.
