One of the programs that the gala supports is Operation School Bell, which provides clothing to students. Each fall, the Assistance League provides school uniforms for kids at approaching 40 public elementary schools in the St. Louis area. In the past, the organization brought students to its headquarters for fittings, but during the pandemic, it pivoted to having the children measured in schools or at home by parents. The nonprofit also maintains AL Closets in 26 schools where students have year-round access to items like coats, underwear, socks, hats, gloves and toiletries. “We work with the schools to make sure the closets are stocked with items the kids need, restocking and organizing things on a monthly basis,” Bogosian explains. The Assistance League is currently expanding the program to also serve local middle schools.

With 5-star hospitality and boutique hotel-style residential amenities at Clarendale Clayton senior residences, it’s where you want to be.

Operation School Bell is not the only beneficiary of the Imagine! gala. The nonprofit has an extensive list of services that support kids and adults in the community. Last year, its literacy program, Books from Friends, provided more than 26,600 books to young readers, and the nonprofit is developing a new initiative to better meet the literacy needs of children, so they are strong readers by grade four. Other programs include creating care packages with personal items for women in shelters, providing clothing for victims of sexual assault whose own clothes had to be submitted for evidence, outfitting elementary students with athletic shoes and offering financial aid for higher education.

Working with multiple social workers and other agencies, the Assistance League also operates an outreach program to provide families with much needed items, such as beds and kitchen supplies. Last year, the initiative met the critical needs of more than 4,600 people, and it’s currently working to help those impacted by the recent flooding. “We listen to the community as we develop our services,” Bogosian explains. “The programs aren’t stagnant or cookie-cutter—they adapt to meet what people need. Our members are dedicated to finding ways to help the people of St. Louis.” &

To make its programs possible, the nonprofit has three major avenues to raise money: its upscale resale shop Fantastic Finds in Creve Coeur, an Author’s Brunch in the spring and its largest fundraiser, the Imagine! gala in the fall. This year, Imagine! Puttin’ on the Glitz! is Nov. 5 at the Doubletree by Hilton-Chesterfield. “The gala brings in a large portion of our annual operating budget, and all of the money we raise goes back into supporting St. Louis,” president Pam Bogosian says. “We hope that people will come out to have fun and celebrate the meaningful work we are doing in the community with our members.”

FOR 35 YEARS, the Assistance League of St. Louis has served the community through philanthropic programs. One of the largest chapters in the national Assistance League organization, the nonprofit is operated entirely by volunteers. The members’ dedication to the organization’s mission is evident. During its last fiscal year, the Assistance League helped more than 36,000 St. Louisans, and its nearly 500 members logged 61,200 volunteer hours.

When’s the last time you used your lawn for croquet? Bees, butterflies and other pollinators may all search in vain for nectar from the same random clover blossom, then flit on to the next. So, where do the pollinators go about their instinctive business of ensuring that flora and fauna continue the natural order of things on this planet? No one dares let their lawn go to seed. Dandelions are dispatched like roaches. And milkweed? What’s that? It’s a plant that butterflies love, including the beloved, endangered migratory monarch. That’s right—the vibrant black and orange insect is endangered. Cate and I were mesmerized by the untold thousands that migrated through my South Grand neighborhood several autumns ago on their way to winter in Mexico. But they’re running out of foraging territory. Now, I can’t imagine anyone turning their lawn into a cactus garden or ‘prairie restoration area’ by the weekend, because no one could play touch football there on Thanksgiving. But I am asking you to consider replanting some of that lawn with greenery (and brownery) that grew here generations before the invasive plant species invaded. Think, maybe, a third—that would be a measly 0.122 of an acre for those whose vast land holdings amount to 0.366.

Lush, green grass. Lush green grass that must be watered, mowed, fertilized and attended to weekly by uniformed guys in a truck labeled Green Acres who spray some agrichemicals to assure it will remain lush, green grass. Neighborhoods of lush, green lawns everywhere throughout the metro are about as unnatural as the way I’ve chosen to start writing this item. Prairie grasses and flowering plants lived here quite naturally for centuries before European settlers invaded and did whatever some ancestor of King Charles III or another aristocrat had started doing with their grounds generations ago for croquet.

Two authors worthy of note will appear soon thanks to the St. Louis County Library. St. Louis business leader and philanthropist Adrian Elizabeth Bracy, MBA, CPA, will discuss and sign her book Halftime: How to Pivot as a Leader and Identify Your Next Steps on Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Florissant Valley library branch, 195 New Florissant Road. An author, business coach, consultant and motivational speaker, Bracy, says that no matter where you are in your career, there comes a time when you need to change course. That may mean taking a new position within the same company, a new job elsewhere or a leap of faith to start your own business. Bracy’s book is a collection of her career experiences as an NFL executive who spent 18 years in senior financial management with the Miami Dolphins, St. Louis Rams and Arizona Cardinals, before transitioning to the nonprofit sector to follow her passion. Bracy served for over a decade as CEO of YWCA Metro St. Louis and, after retirement, became executive director of The Steward Trust. Books will be available for purchase at the free event. For something completely different, the Library’s Favorite Author Series presents New York Times No. 1 bestselling Western suspense author C.J. Box for a discussion and signing of Treasure State, his new thriller featuring private investigator Cassie Dewell. The free event is slated for Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. at the Ethical Society of St. Louis, 9001 Clayton Road. Box is the author of 30 books, including the Joe Pickett and the Cassie Dewell series. He has won the Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe and Barry awards, as well as the French Prix Calibre .38. A Wyoming native, Box has also worked on a ranch and as a small-town newspaper reporter and editor. He’s an executive producer of ABCs Big Sky, a show based on his Cody Hoyt/Cassie Dewell novels, and is executive producer of Joe Pickett for Spectrum Originals. Books will be available for purchase from Left Bank Books.

What song was Chuck Berry’s only Billboard No. 1? Chuck Berry didn’t score his only Billboard No. 1 until … 1959? Nope! 1964? Wrong again. Berry, to many the bona fide father of rock ’n’ roll, didn’t have a No. 1 hit until 1972, and it was with the live version of a novelty song, “My Ding-a-Ling.” I know, right?

well as naughty ones you know she never would have, like a concoction fashioned with a locally brewed chocolate milk stout—since 2015. Real estate pros say three things are critical to satisfy a prospective homeowner: location, location, location. Well, local, local, local are three keys to Clementine’s success. On the right side of the river you’ll find Meadowvale, the dairy co-op where classical music is piped in to de-stress the cows for milking. Clementine’s other ingredients, including the unique alcohol infusions are sourced locally wherever possible. And starting such an entrepreneurial venture here made all the sense in the world. I mean, where’d she go to high school? “Not here,” she answered, with an impish grin. It was somewhere on the Left Coast a few years ago. But once leaving corporate America, she bloomed where she was planted. “It’s an amazing place to live—each neighborhood provides its own thread to create a rich, beautiful tapestry,” she says, adding, with emphasis: “St. Louisans love and support independent businesses! You can live on one income, buy a house, take vacations and retire here.” The StL’s smart, innovative use of public monies impresses her— with our zoo and many other cultural institutions free to enter, not to mention 1,500 seats at The Muny. But is

You can’t make ice cream with alcohol because it doesn’t freeze, everybody knows that. That’s the challenge that corporate foodstuffs exec and veteran ice-cream maker Tamara Keefe found herself up against when a friend lamented the lack of booze-infused selections to scoop out at appropriate times of day. Keefe had been cranking out her own ice cream since she was a kid and had years of experience in food ingredients and products under her belt. Her friends and former colleagues helped her solve a 75-year-old production puzzle. Clementine’s Creamery has both Naughty and Nice selections at the ready for customers in six locations, and during our interview on the patio of her modest Lafayette Square shop, she took a call to help sort out construction issues at the CWE location, which she plans to open next spring, about the same time as a eighth location in Edwardsville. Keefe’s dream materialized following an epiphany: Over a women’s work-play weekend at Lake of the Ozarks; she enlisted big brains to storm and help draft a business plan, gave two weeks’ notice to her employer in the corporate world and after a reasonable length of time, opened her first shop near the end of 18th Street. It’s been a destination for nice treats like you wish Grandma could have made—as

the product at Clementine’s worth it? Uh, does Albert Pujols hit home runs? Their raspberry-flavored Blue Moon is, to use two overused reactions, OMG, to die for! Their vegan and gluten-free creations, plus their naughty formulations, are rich and various. And, for Abe Lincoln’s sake, they serve Excel sodas, the pride of Breese, Illinois. Also peep the modest black-and-white sign and vintage display window in Clayton’s DeMun district. Clementine’s other naughty and nice creameries, at this writing, can be also found in Southampton, Kirkwood, Town and Country and Lake St. Louis.

Craft Alliance is preparing to say goodbye to its executive director Mark Witzling, who plans to retire in August 2023. Witzling came to the arts institution five years ago, and under his tenure, it saw significant growth, including the relocation to its new expanded home in the Delmar Maker District.

Let me be clear. My little one is never rude or mean; he just prefers other people. I am about 15th on his list. So, when the new baby comes, I’m going to see if I can either move up on my grandson’s list or ingratiate myself into the new baby’s life so they prefer me over Hampa.

I will start by not singing. Hampa had a playlist of James Taylor songs to rock the baby to sleep. I stuck to the more traditional method of singing to the baby. Sadly, and I am going to blame my wonderful long since deceased parents for this, I don’t know any lullabies. Both of my children were rocked to sleep with me singing “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?,” showtunes and TV commercial jingles. Why is this my parents’ fault? I think my brain should have been imprinted with the lullabies they sang me, but I suspect I too might have gotten TV jingles.

Next, I will be generous with powdered donuts. Hampa has a sweet tooth, and as soon as my grandson could manage to grind up food, he introduced him to one of his basic food groups. Who wouldn’t want to be around the guy that gives you stuff that crumbles up, tastes delicious and makes a mess?Iwillappear to act like I am a little bit crazy. This includes, wiggling around in a tunnel even if you are worried you might get stuck, making loud noises just because you can, setting up racecar tracks that shoot across the entire house and knocking down anything that you have just built. In other words, I will try to have fun instead of worrying about rules, getting hurt or nicking a piece of furniture.

PEOPLE SAY THERE IS NOTHING BETTER than being a grandparent, and I must agree! My grandson will soon be three, and I am not sure where the time went. He’s gone from a swaddled little bundle who loved nothing more than being rocked to sleep by his grandmother to a little boy who merely tolerates her existence—and that’s only because I live in the same house as his favorite person, his grandpa (or Hampa as my darling boy calls him).

Three students from the high school were selected to join the 53rd season of the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra: senior Nathan Bronstein (violin), senior Luisa Parker (cello) and junior Mallory Mihm (viola, alternate). Around 100 young musicians between the ages of 12 and 22 are selected for the youth orchestra each year. Members represent more than 40 schools throughout the bi-state region, and student musicians receive mentoring from SLSO members, work under the direction of resident conductor Stephanie Childress and perform three concerts at Powell Hall.

Journey of Hope, a nonprofit founded by four students, has raised more than $1,400 for the American Red Cross for Missouri flood relief. Seniors Jimmy Gu and Losan Huang and juniors Kevin Tang and Rachel Tang started the organization with the mission of helping end the cycle of poverty for children in Daliang Shan, China. Previous Journey of Hope initiatives include providing medical supplies to St. Louis-area hospitals during the pandemic and contributing to the relief efforts following hurricanes Florence and Harvey.

So far we have only had one morning fight! My mind is blown. My oldest is in the car on time, and we actually smile at each other on the way to school. This is my husband’s parenting win, not mine. If we can stick to this routine for 21 days, research says it will become a habit, and if we can stick to it all school year, I think my kids could carry this with them forever. I hope to raise them without my epic procrastination skills.

BACK TO SCHOOL ROUTINES have me thinking a lot about habits and how we can alter the course of our lives by creating good ones and breaking bad ones. “Your habits will determine your future,” said Jack Canfield, the author of Success Principles. I am convinced of this truth.

After all, that’s our main gig right? We are habit guides for our kids, teaching them daily discipline and helping form neural pathways that create a road map to success! What a responsibility. I am definitely keeping the habit of special treat celebrations for every little thing because that’s the #goodlife.

My husband is the structured one in the family, and he is always trying to make our lives easier by creating good habits, so he made a new rule. When you get home from school, you immediately get all of your homework done. I added that the kids had to empty their lunch box, remake it for the next day and lay out clean outfits. No TV or play dates until we are reset and ready for our next 6:30 a.m. wake up. Sounds pretty intense and soldier-like compared to my free-for-all ways, but it has been revolutionary. My kids are so motivated to get their stuff done, they are ready to go for the next day 30 minutes after getting home from school, and for the rest of the night, we can relax. What usually would take an hour of yelling at them is now done without struggle.

All of this logic comes from an amazing book I read 10 years ago: The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson. It basically says you can make radical changes in your life or you can make incremental changes. Both work, but incremental ones almost always last. Tiny shifts and slowly forming new habits may feel uneventful, even trivial, but over time, they are seismic in life. As a parent, it’s now my mission to search out all of the habit adjustments we can make so my kids are set up for a beautiful life.

BETTER HABITS

Last year, getting off to school was a struggle every morning. I ended up frustrated, my kids were anxious, we rushed, we missed breakfast, we fought and we forgot stuff every day. We started a new school after a year of homeschooling, and it was my first time having two kids to get ready in the morning, while also dealing with a 1-year-old and being pregnant. The year started off chaotic, and we never really got out of it, but this year, I’m determined to change that.

Do you find yourself becoming the judge, juror and executioner in their commotion in the next room, come barging in with a full head of steam; decide who started it, who’s in the right and who’s in the wrong; and dole out punishments. It’s no surprise that kids end up tattling and whining for an adult to come solve their problems because we’ve trained them to need us. So, what’s a parent to Wheneverdo?

I hear that siblings have become angrier and more aggressive, I encourage parents to first look at two potential causes. First, check within yourself: Have you been crabby, distracted, critical or angry? Second, take a good hard look at your marriage. Has there been tension, arguments, yelling, fights or cold distance? Kids tend to reflect the adults around them emotionally, so a good place to begin affecting change with kids’ anger is dealing with your or your relationship’s issues first.

switch your intention from being the judge and juror and instead be an unbiased mediator. Let your kids know that you’re going to be doing things differently from now on. If you hear them squawking, the most you’ll do is come in calmly and teach them how to resolve the conflict on their own. You can guide each child to let their sibling know their needs and wants about the issue and to listen to the other person so that both feel heard and understood. Only then will they be able to brainstorm a solution that works for both of them. It won’t take long for kids to pick up these skills, and you will then slowly but surely work yourself out of the job of being responsible for future disagreements.

An unwillingness to blame and punish one person takes away most of the reason for tattling. The skills they learn in dealing with sibling conflicts will carry over to dealing with their friends and dating partners. Kids gain a measure of confidence from knowing they can handle conflicts independent of adults. And on the flip side of the coin, a more caring relationship between siblings has a chance to emerge. Most sisters and brothers do love and care about each other. Notice and affirm times you see acts of kindness and compassion between them. Diminishing the number and intensity of their conflicts will make for a calmer, more fun home. &

Born in New York City, Taylor grew up in Japan. After World War II, she got married and moved with her new husband to St. Louis, where they put down roots and raised a family on The Hill. Taylor worked various jobs, including serving as a translator for people visiting the city and working with the Missouri Botanical Garden. Since its inception in the 1960s, she has been involved with the garden’s annual Japanese Festival. “For 25 years, I worked in kimono sales, and then I moved on to making dolls,” she says. “Now, I mostly focus on creating pictures, greeting cards and origami for display during the festival.”

Say Hello to New Friends!

Since retiring, Taylor has been able to focus on her creative pursuits. She began practicing origami as a child and continued pursuing it as a hobby into adulthood. She is currently in the process of folding 1,000 paper cranes in celebration of her grandson’s upcoming wedding. “The 1,000 cranes symbolize good luck and a long life,” she explains. “I previously made displays for my two granddaughter’s weddings, and it’s a lot of work. I’ve made about 250 for my grandson, and I have until December for the other 750. To make the cranes, I use special handmade washi paper that’s a little different from what you find in craft stores.”

While Taylor doesn’t let her age slow her down, her children were concerned about her continuing to live on her own, especially since none of them live locally. “St. Louis is my second home, and I didn’t want to leave the area,” she says. Taylor began a three-year search to find a local senior living community that could live up to her

The Gatesworth is an independent senior living community conveniently located north of Highway 40 just off I-170

The answer to Taylor’s dilemma was The Gatesworth. The senior living community was able to offer everything she wanted and more—from the quality of the apartments to amenities like dining and the salon. She has been at The Gatesworth for a few months, and for most of her stay, she’s been busy preparing for this year’s Japanese Festival, limiting how many activities she’s been able to engage in, but she’s looking forward to exploring all the community has to offer. “I do enjoy listening to the musical performances on the weekends,” she notes. “The service, the people, everything is wonderful here. I’m so glad I chose to live at The Gatesworth.” &

FOR OLDER ADULTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, it can be difficult to find a balance between maintaining independence and ensuring loved ones are safe. That was the exact struggle Sugi Taylor found herself facing with her children. Turning 94 this month, she wants to continue pursuing the hobbies and activities she enjoys, and her children want to ensure she is well cared for. The family found their solution in The Gatesworth. The senior living community offers residents innovative services and luxury amenities to ensure they remain active, happy and comfortable.

They say St. Louis is a beer city, and there is no doubt that fall is a beer season. You’ll find lots of great events celebrating brews, both local and international. The last weekend in September brings the St. Charles Oktoberfest, and early October, offers other options to celebrate the German folk festival in Soulard and at Urban Chestnut Brewery in The Grove. The St. Louis Beer Festival is Oct. 22 at the Saint Louis Science Center. The event brings together more than 40 local and national breweries— plus you get access to all of the exhibits at the museum. &

Do you have a special creative outlet? Well, two local nonprofit organizations are honoring senior artists. Art Saint Louis and Maturity and Its Muse are partnering to present Maturity and Its Muse: Celebrating Artistic Excellence 2023, a juried art exhibition featuring works by artists aged 70 and older. The theme of the exhibit is the artists’ life experiences. Original 2D and 3D artworks in all media, styles, subjects and techniques are eligible for consideration.

colors of autumn

One of the highlights of the season is, of course, the changing of the leaves. While you can’t go wrong with planning a visit to Forest Park or even a drive outside of the city, you can make your fall color viewing experience something extra special this year. One of the best places for viewing is along rivers, so a boat ride is the perfect opportunity to take in the seasonal ambience. Book a river cruise with Riverboats at the Gateway Arch, or head to Grafton Harbor in Illinois to board the Hakuna Matata for a special fall color cruise. Grafton also is home to the Grafton SkyTour, which offers aerial views of the autumn foliage at the confluence of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. Check out the Missouri Department of Conservation for resources and tips to determine the best time to view fall color at its peak.

We don’t cycle menus. They are all created by myself and my sous chefs and cooks. A lot of it depends on what is available seasonally and the ingredients our produce, meat and fish purveyors recommend. We like to stay on top of culinary trends and offer a wide range of cuisine, so we do a lot of continuing education to learn new techniques. We also interact with the residents to learn what they would like to see on the menu.

How do you approach menu creation?

The Gatesworth is giving T&S a look behind the scenes of its kitchen through the eyes of executive chef, Brian Hardy. His illustrious culinary career began at the Culinary Institute of America in New York City, and he’s worked in kitchens in Paris and at some of St. Louis’ most prestigious country clubs—not to mention the accolades he’s earned in numerous competitions. He uses that experience to ensure that he and his team make every dining experience at the senior living community worth savoring.

We have three distinct restaurant-style dining areas. Palm Court is our most casual option, and it’s open for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. The Colonnade is a more elegant and formal option for dinner with a menu focused on steaks, chops and fresh seafood. The Bistro falls somewhere between the two, and the menu has lighter, Tuscan-inspired fare, such as flatbreads, pastas and risottos. For all of the restaurants, we change the menu every month. We want residents to stay excited about the food, even though they are dining with us most days.

We make it easy to put in requests for what they would like to see on the menu. Every time I walk down the hall, I have residents stopping me to tell me about dishes they’ve enjoyed. The same is true for other members of the culinary team. We also look at what items are ordered the most because people tend to be positive in their feedback, and we want to know what may not be working. Our team, including the managers and servers, really work to learn what residents like. My cooks can see an order, recognize the name and know exactly what extra steps can make that person’s experience better— whether it’s more sauce on the side or the vegetables separated. In a traditional restaurant, you don’t get to know your customer in that way.

How does the culinary team engage with residents?

Sodium is a concern for everyone’s diet. We don’t buy anything processed, and we butcher our own meat and fish in house. A lot of times, products may be injected with a saline solution, so that’s additional salt. Since we brine, cure and marinate everything ourselves, we have more control. We can use herbs to ensure everything is flavorful without having to add more salt. Our cooks are trained to properly prepare vegetables so they maintain their nutritional value. We also can accommodate individual residents’ dietary restrictions easily since everything is made fresh. We can cut salt, butter or any other ingredients that may be a concern.

Not really. There are always different trends and what people are excited about changes. Residents do love cobblers and pies for dessert, but we switch up the varieties. &

THE LIGHTS, THE AUDIENCE, THE FASHION —the idea of strutting down the runway as a model is the very definition of glamour when you’re a kid. It’s an experience Friends of Kids with Cancer makes a reality for young cancer patients through its Fashion Show & Boutique. As the nonprofit’s signature fundraiser, the event honors its mission to give children and families the support and services they need beyond their medical treatment.

FRIENDS OF KIDS WITH CANCER’S FASHION SHOW & BOUTIQUE GIVES YOUNG CANCER PATIENTS THE SPOTLIGHT.

This year’s Fashion Show & Boutique is Nov. 3 at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis. Boutique shopping from local shops and vendors begins at 10 a.m. for the luncheon show and 5:30 p.m. for the dinner show. The event will include a new VIP rooftop garden experience in the evening. The day will be extra special as it marks both Friends of Kids with Cancer’s 30th anniversay and the return of the fashion show after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. “It’s wonderful that we can be back in person this year to provide an unforgettable experience to both our models and guests,” Cross says. “We’ve been around for 30 years, but unfortunately, we have not seen a decline in childhood cancer. Attending the fashion show directly supports these children and their families.” &

FRIENDS OF KIDS WITH CANCER by stephanie wallace

The experience is just one example of how the nonprofit helps children and families dealing with serious illness. “Our mission is to help kids with cancer be kids,” Cross notes. “Kids go through so much from the moment they are diagnosed. We want to provide reminders of the joys of childhood.” The organization started in 1992 as an initiative to create toy closets in hospitals and doctors’ offices so children undergoing treatment would find the experience a little less frightening. Today, Friends of Kids with Cancer’s services have grown to include programs that meet the educational, emotional and recreational needs of the families it serves.

Friends of Kids with Cancer hosts several fun events for families throughout the year, including a Halloween party at Grant’s Farm and a back-to-school night at The Magic House. The nonprofit also provides tutoring and testing support from educational professionals for both cancer patients and their siblings, and its scholarship program makes postsecondary education more accessible. To meet the emotional needs of its clients, it offers art, music and play therapy for patients; counseling for the entire family; and support groups, including those for families who have lost a child to cancer.

FRIENDS OF KIDS WITH CANCER PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL, EMOTIONAL AND RECREATIONAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN UNDERGOING TREATMENT FOR CANCER AND BLOOD-RELATED DISEASES. ITS ANNUAL FASHION SHOW & BOUTIQUE IS NOV. 3 AT THE RITZ-CARLTON, ST. LOUIS. PICTURED ON THE COVER: PATIENT POLET (RIGHT) WITH HER SISTER PAMELA. FOR MORE INFORMATION, CALL 314.275.7440 OR VISIT FRIENDSOFKIDS.ORG.

The fashion show is a major fundraiser for the nonprofit, having raised more than $400,000 in 2019. However, according to Merri Cross, board president emeritus and the event’s planning committee chair, the real focus is on the models. Each year, patients from Mercy, SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s and St. Louis Children’s hospitals are selected to participate, and they receive the superstar treatment. Along with modeling in afternoon and evening shows, each participant receives special gifts and gets to stay overnight at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis with their family. “It’s a fantastic, glamorous day for them, and our supporters get to see the children that they are helping,” Cross says. “Nothing compares to watching these kids come down the runway.”

On Sept. 27, Glennon Guild is offering an early shopping opportunity through the Glennon Card Shoppes Boutique. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., people can visit Hilton St. Louis Frontenac to shop from 30 vendors who will honor the 20% Glennon Card discount. “We have vendors specializing in everything from clothing and jewelry to home goods, plants and food,” says event co-chair Kim Gorman. “Many of them are online businesses, so this a rare opportunity to shop their merchandise in person.” The hotel’s onsite restaurant, Provinces Grill, also will be offering the discount for lunch and dinner that day. Glennon Cards will be available for purchase onsite or can be obtained ahead of time at glennoncard.org. &

The Glennon Card initiative is presented by the Glennon Guild, a women’s auxiliary. The group was established in 1957, and for 65 years, it has been dedicated to providing the resources to meet Cardinal Glennon’s greatest needs. “As well as organizing fundraising initiatives like Glennon Card, our efforts include volunteering and donating supplies directly to the hospital,” co-president Julie Holland explains. “Our initiatives impact so many different programs at Cardinal Glennon—from child life services to new technology.”

The Glennon Card program has supported initiatives like Cardinal Glennon’s milk lab, the Reach Out and Read program, the 3D Printing Center of Excellence, Danis Pediatric Center and a number of enhancements to patient areas and different programs at the hospital. Through other fundraisers, Glennon Guild has supported the hospital’s music therapy program, the Sleep Lab and the palliative care program, Footprints. “Cardinal Glennon has so many diverse needs, and through Glennon Card alone, we’ve been able to donate more than $2 million to help support patients,” co-president Meg Terry notes. “It’s neat that we can reach so many different parts of the hospital through our efforts.”

BY STEPHANIE WALLACE

This year’s Glennon Card shopping period is Oct. 14 to 23. Cards can be purchased online in digital or paper versions, or they are available at select retailers. Glennon Guild co-president Laura Baylis is excited for people to take advantage of this unique opportunity to support local businesses while giving back to Cardinal Glennon. “It’s really a win-win-win situation,” she says. “The retailers win because it brings them business, the card buyers win because they get the discount, and the hospital wins because it benefits from the funds raised by the card sales. We’ve been doing this for more than a decade, and it’s really great to see businesses getting involved again after the pandemic.”

They say it’s better to give than receive, but nothing beats being able to do both at the same time. That’s exactly what the Glennon Card program allows St. Louisans to do every fall. By purchasing a $60 card, you unlock a 20% discount at more than 300 local shops, restaurants and other service providers. All proceeds from card sales directly support the young patients at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital.

Whitfield’s size was another factor that attracted Cunningham to the school. Coming from a larger institution, he found that it was difficult to connect with every member of the student body, regardless of his efforts to do so. “Even as a coach and dorm head, come graduation, there would still be students I didn’t know,” he explains.

Hand-curatedPHOTOGRAPHYPAINTINGSbyKenandPhyllisLangsdorf

A graduate of Stanford and Duke universities, Cunningham brings more than 25 years of experience in independent school education to Whitfield. Most recently, he worked at The Lawrenceville School in New Jersey. During his 19-year tenure at the school, he served as an English teacher, coach and dorm head before transitioning to administrative positions, ultimately becoming dean of faculty and then assistant head of school. “I loved working with students, but I found supporting my fellow faculty members was the best job I ever had,” he notes. “It’s rewarding to help them in their work taking care of students and ensuring everyone has the best possible schoolWhenexperience.”considering his next move professionally, Cunningham felt an instant connection to Whitfield. While the school is very different from The Lawrenceville School in many ways, he saw that they had a similar approach to education. “The teachers here are passionate about their students and building strong relationships that are based on trust and care,” he says. “They want to create hands-on, student-centered, collaborative environments, and there is a crucial balance between challenging students with high expectations and providing them the support and skills necessary to meet those expectations.”

“Whitfield is the perfect size for providing rich opportunities for learning while still being small enough that every student can feel known. They really do thrive in this kind of supportive community. As I learned more, it became clear that Whitfield offered the premier small school experience in St. Louis.”

PREVIEW: September 26-30, 10am - 5pm

Cunningham comes to St. Louis with his wife, Helena, who also is a lifelong educator. They both are looking forward to engaging more with the Whitfield community. “Helena is in talks to help with the school’s upcoming theatrical productions—she’s excited to get involved,” he notes. “Right now, I’m just enjoying walking the halls, poking my head in classrooms and getting to know the culture and history. It’s exciting to be part of a school with a sense of momentum. Whitfied has a solid foundation and endless potential for opportunity looking forward, and I’m proud to be a part of that future.” &

thinking and cultural competency. “The half life of knowledge gets shorter as society innovates, so traditional preparation isn’t enough to thrive in college and beyond,” Cunningham says. “A different set of skills is necessary. That’s what is special about Whitfield. It offers a traditional liberal arts education, but one reimagined in a forward-thinking way.”

This is the true story of two mentally ill girls who attempted to kill their friend because of the fictional character Slenderman. The actual crime is just a small portion of the book, which is an interesting examination of how we often ignore red flags in young adolescents who are struggling with their mental health. Even once those struggles are identified, treatment is often lacking.

It’s no secret that I am a political junkie, and one of my heroes is this author, the former campaign chair for Jeb Bush. Miller takes a deep dive into what happened to the political party he loves from 2016 to 2021. Is this book for everyone? Nope. But it’s for you if, like me, you want to see how sausage is made.

I think I adjusted pretty well. My freshman year of college was the hardest obstacle I’ve had to face basketball-wise. Everything in comparison has been a little bit easier. I did struggle a little in our pre-season games. I think I scored maybe six points combined in both. I found myself reverting back to how I felt that first year in college, but that was something I never wanted to experience again. I kinda just flipped a switch and told myself I was there to play. The first game, I scored 27 points, and I never looked back from there.

WHAT ADVICE HAVE YOU GOTTEN THAT YOU STILL LIVE BY?

NO ONE SUCCEEDS BY THEMSELVES. WHO IS ON THE TEAM BEHIND YOU? My wife for sure. We’ve been doing this together in the minor and big leagues for about 15 years now. She’s definitely one of the biggest reasons for me doing this and doing it well. I’ve also had mentors outside of baseball who have helped me grow in my leadership style.

WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING IF YOU WEREN’T COACHING?

Right when I got out of playing, I did a movie, The 6th Man I wouldn’t have been an actor; that’s for sure. I also took the Series 7 exam just for the fun of it. I’ve always enjoyed following the stock market and the competitive nature of it. I might be doing something in a brokerage firm.

FROM THE NFL TO THE CIA, YOU’VE HAD QUITE THE CAREER AND LIFE.

oliver marmol

It’s been interesting. You spend your whole life, or a good part of it, doing something completely outside of the realm of where you thought you’d end up. Working for the CIA was a tremendous learning experience, almost like an out-of-body experience when you think about where I came from. An inner city kid from St. Louis presented with all of these opportunities. Fortunately for me, I had mentors and good people to guide and prepare me. I loved it.

INNOVATING WOUND CARE Health DePaul Hospital opened a new wound care clinic that includes novel technology to assess oxygen at the damaged tissue level, which is useful in predicting wound healing and surgical planning for precise amputation. The hospital also enhanced its vascular institute, improving access to dialysis care and adding a new procedure room. “We have 12 surgeons and multiple procedure rooms so that we will be sure to meet the care needs in our community,” says Dr. Michael Reynolds. “The idea behind this center is that we’re not just a wound care center. We’re a healing center. Everyone who works in this space has been handpicked because they are the best in the field.”

TREATMENT FOR “CHEMO-BRAIN”

NASAL COVID-19 VACCINE

SSM

The world’s first nasal COVID-19 vaccine has been approved for use in India. The vaccine was developed through a partnership between Washington University School of Medicine and Bharat Biotech International Limited in India. Because the vaccine is administered at the site of infection, it has the potential to develop a stronger immune response in the nose and respiratory system. “Nasal vaccines induce the type of protective immunity that we think will prevent or limit infection and also curb pandemic transmission of this virus,” says Dr. Michael S. Diamond, co-inventor of the vaccine. “The more people the virus infects, the more chances it has to spin off new variants, which sustain the pandemic.”

Washington University School of Medicine is joining the National Institutes of HealthBridge2AI program, a $130-million initiative to expand the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in biomedical and behavioral research. One of the first projects is Voice as Biomarker of Health, which aims to build a database of human voices to train computers to identify diseases based on characteristics of a person’s voice. “There is evidence that well-designed computer models can predict who has dementia or cancer, for example, based on voice recordings, which would then supplement additional methods of diagnosis,” Philip R. O. Payne, Ph.D., says.

While often a lifesaving treatment, chemotherapy comes with complications for cancer patients, including cognitive impairments in processing speed, memory, executive function and attention. The condition has been dubbed “chemo brain,” and it can have long-lasting impacts after a person has completed cancer treatment. Saint Louis University researchers have discovered some of the molecular events that happen to cause chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). The team found that chemotherapy alters an important cellular pathway called sphingolipid metabolism in areas of the brain linked to cognitive function. While there is currently no FDA-approved treatment for CRCI, two multiple sclerosis drugs appear to have the potential to prevent it.

• EAT COLD OR FROZEN FOOD AND DRINKS. Popcicles, ice cream or cold beverages can soothe a sore throat.

The common cold, seasonal allergies and COVID-19 can sometimes manifest in similar ways, especially now that vaccines and new variants are resulting in milder cases of the latter. Despite some indistinguishable symptoms, there are some key differences. Think about your history and consider what symptoms you’ve previously experienced in the fall. &

Allergies are your immune system’s inflammatory response to a foreign substance. They happen seasonally when your body overreacts to something airborne in the environment, usually pollen or mold. To avoid sneezing, congestion, a runny nose and other bothersome symptoms, there are simple steps you can take to manage your exposure to allergens.

• WEAR A MASK DURING YARD WORK. To avoid allergens when raking leaves or completing other seasonal outdoor chores, make sure your nose and mouth are covered.

• KEEP TRACK OF POLLEN. Check pollen counts in your area—they’re often included with TV or radio weather reports or you can easily find them online. To avoid pollen in your home, don’t leave the windows open when pollen counts are high. Limit outdoor activity in the morning or on dry, windy days because that’s when pollen counts are highest. The best time to head outside is after it rains, which helps clear pollen from the air.

• CLEAN YOUR HOME. As the weather cools, we spend more time indoors, and that means dust mites and mold are more of concern in the fall and winter. Clean your floors often with a vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA filter.

hether it is due to changes in humidity, seasonal weather or flu and cold, the fall can bring with it congestion and discomfort that almost everyone has to deal with. Allergies affect more than 50 million Americans, and the common cold is … well, common! Here are some tips to reduce symptoms so you can take a deep breath and enjoy autumn.

• RUN A HUMIDIFIER. Adding moisture to the air decreases the drying of the nasal passages and throat.

• RINSE YOUR SINUSES. Using a saline solution can directly flush mucus and allergens out of your nose to relieve congestion. Saline solutions can be purchased

natural cold remedies

There is no cure for the common cold. All you can do is treat the symptoms, which themselves are the signs that your body is doing what it’s supposed to and fighting the virus. If you want to limit your intake of over-the-counter cold and cough medications, these natural solutions can help you bounce back.

• HEAT YOUR HOME SMARTLY. Before you turn on your heat for the first time, clean your vents and change the filter. Allergens can get trapped during the spring and summer, and they’ll fill the air once the furnace turns on. Also use a HEPA filter in your heating system to remove particles from the air.

managing seasonal allergies

• DRINK FLUIDS. Hydration is key to flushing out germs and thinning mucus and other secretions.

• MAKE CHICKEN SOUP. It’s easy to digest, the steam loosens congestion, and the broth hydrates. Studies also have shown the soup can have an anti-inflammatory reaction.

• REDUCE YOUR EXPOSURE TO IRRITANTS. Avoid anything that is known to trigger your allergies. If exposure is unavoidable, take allergy medication preemptively to stop inflammation from occurring and prevent symptoms from developing. If your allergies are bad, consult with your doctor about starting medication a few weeks before allergy season starts in the fall and spring.

• USE A DEHUMIDIFIER. Removing moisture from the air will help stop mold and dust mites from thriving in your home.

• GARGLE WITH SALT WATER. Gargling a salt water solution of a ¼ to ½ teaspoon of salt dissolved in an eight-ounce glass of warm water can temporarily relieve a sore throat.

• GET YOUR REST. Sleep boosts the immune system, keeping us healthy and helping us heal.

1145 GREYSTONE MANOR PARKWAY CHESTERFIELD RealAllianceEstate 314.872.6741 FALL DESIGN GUIDE SPECIAL SECTION

Even the most adamant urbanite can become restless for private getaway, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Sitting on 1.2-acre land with beautiful outdoor living spaces, 1145 Greystone Manor Parkway offers the comfort of a weekend retreat without leaving the comforts of home—and just a short distance from all that Chesterfield Valley has to offer.

It’s fantastic. Every Labor Day, my family would visit from Chicago, and we’d have about 20 people staying for the weekend. It was kind of like a vacation retreat for them. We’ve hosted backyard barbecues, wine tastings and parties with friends. There are lots of great spaces for hosting throughout the home. It also was the place my kids’ friends wanted to be. They’d enjoy the game room and pool, and the backyard has plenty of space for playing soccer or other games.

“THIS IS TRULY A WONDERFUL HOME FOR ENTERTAINING—FROM THE OPEN-CONCEPT MAIN LEVEL AND THE RESORT-LIKE BACKYARD TO THE EXCEPTIONALLY DESIGNED LOWER LEVEL. IT’S A VERY SPECIAL PROPERTY.” TREVOR OLWIG

It’s a great place for wherever you are in life. It would be perfect for a couple that’s retired and looking for a place to relax and entertain guests, or it’s an ideal home to raise a family. The property can accommodate a lot of different lifestyles. &

Do you have a favorite room?

The neighborhood is in a great location in Chesterfield. The community is continuing to grow with great dining and entertainment options. Every year, we’re seeing more and more people wanting to be a part of it. In the past, we had a lot of people ask if we’re planning to sell our house because they were interested in moving to the area.

What are some benefits of the neighborhood?

The backyard living area. It’s very secluded and private for being part of a neighborhood. No houses back up to the yard. When I’m out there, I feel like I’m in my own private oasis. There are two large patios, an outdoor living room and the pool and hottub. It always grabs people’s attention. There’s also the lower level, which is great for entertaining. It’s almost like a little apartment with a full bath, kitchen and living room. Plus, there is a game room, workout space and theater. The 1,000-bottle wine cellar also is a beautiful space.

What’s the most valuable thing you’ve learned as a designer?

Designers bring a wealth of knowledge and guidance to the interior design process. As an expert in the industry, interior designers are a smart investment—preventing costly mistakes and acting as resources to provide continued solutions to inevitable design challenges. It is a service that is invaluable and will guarantee results that ultimately turn clients’ dreams into tangible realities. &

One piece of advice I was given and think is invaluable is to tailor your creativity according to your client's best interest. Interior design is a service, and clients hire you not only for your expertise but also for your design aesthetic. When I first started out, I was in the business of servicing requests, and oftentimes, clients are not risktakers. It is our job to nudge them into more creative choices, which not only builds trust but ultimately strengthens the relationship between you and the client. Client relations is a true artistry and skill set interior designers master to balance

Jennifer Hunter, NYC-based interior designer, founded her own design firm in early 2019 following a long history of love for architecture and design. She shares her experiences, passions, challenges and valuable insights as a professional in the industry.

During my summers, I had the privilege of interning for the design legend Albert Hadley. Upon graduation, he advised me to apply for my MFA at Sotheby’s Institute of Art to develop a foundation in the history of furniture and decorative objects. Once I graduated I was hired by one of Mr. Hadley’s lead designers Harry Heissmann and helped him launch his business. From there, I went off on my own with a business partner and eventually went solo around three years ago.

Two things: One, staying true to my artistry—it's what enhances my brand and establishes my trademark in the design industry, and two, hiring a team that is dependable, professional and dedicated to servicing clients at a caliber that exceeds expectations. Ultimately, your team is a reflection of you, so it's vital to hire individuals who embody the same ethics and professional values that you hold true for yourself.

What’s been your most challenging project so far?

PHOTO: PATRICK CLINE

My own home! While I am super decisive with all of my clients, it is different when designing for yourself. I have access to everything within the industry. At the end of the day, I just try to stay true to my aesthetic.

Installation days are the most rewarding part of being an interior designer and certainly my favorite! The clients get to see all of your hard work and vision come to life. There is truly no better feeling than happy clients who validate and appreciate your work!

What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced as a designer?

The biggest challenge is setting clients’ expectations with regard to lead times in this current climate of supply chain issues. Most clients are understanding, but we know how hard it can be to wait. We are navigating it all the best we can!

Do you know anything about the house’s history?

How do you approach interior design?

CONT’D ON PG. F24

What do you like about living in Soulard?

I’m originally from St. Louis, and I was getting ready to move back from Seattle. Soulard wasn’t really an area I’d ever considered living in, but I was cruising around on Zillow and fell in love with the house. It was built in 1880 and had been renovated, but it still has so much character. It was out of my budget and went off the market, so I continued my search. The house popped back up with a price cut, and I immediately called a friend of mine who is a real estate agent. We went to see it that day, and as soon as I walked in the foyer, I knew I was buying the house.

What attracted you to the home?

I’ve always loved the history of old homes, so that was the focus of my house search. I started looking in Tower Grove and the Central West End. My house in Seattle was a new build and super modern. It never really felt like me because it didn't really have any life to it. I knew I didn’t want a brand new home again, but I also didn’t want to do a ton of updating because I wasn’t in a position for a full renovation. This home was the perfect solution.

During the COVID lockdown, I went deep and dug up everything I could find. The original owner had a world famous herpetarium. It was one of the largest collections of reptiles in existence at the time, and it was kept in this house. I actually have one of his original books that was found in a vintage bookstore.

I like a mix of old and new and don’t really consider myself as having one style. When shopping for furniture and decor, I typically start at the antique store. I prefer having something older and more unique than just buying whatever is on the shelves. I look for items that I click and connect with. It’s more of a collection for me. I have a lot of heirlooms that I’ve gotten from family members, like silver from my mother and crystal bowls from grandmother’s wedding. As people clean out their houses, I acquire things. It’s important to have items from people in your past. They should be seen and used and not buried in a box.

There are crystal lamps in my living room that came from my grandparent’s home. They never used them and kept them in the basement under a sheet. As a child, I was looking around, found them and fell in love. I got the lamps when my grandmother passed away,

I like a mix of old and new and onehavingmyselfreallydon’tconsiderasstyle.”

I love the architecture and history of the houses. That was probably my No. 1 reason for living in the area, but other benefits include the walkability, great restaurants and bars, and the farmers’ market. I rarely have to use my car.

Any favorite items in your collection?

Yes and no. At its core, I think my aesthetic is the same, but it probably has evolved as I’ve acquired items for this house. I have no problem refinishing and repurposing older things. One chest was in my parents' Victorian living room for more than 40 years. My mom was going to get rid of it, so I took it and sanded and painted it a high gloss green. Not everything is brand new because I like to have those little projects. The house also has inspired me to be an art collector, which I wasn’t really before. I’m friends with Charlie Houska of the Houska Gallery, and I get all of my art from him. He always brings in exciting new artists. I don’t have a ton of color in my design, except for the art. I love nothing more than a black and white space with a pop of color. Do you have a favorite room or feature of the home? My bedroom. In my previous homes, the master bedroom was the last thing I worried about, and often, the room was really left unfinished since I wasn’t worried about a lot of people seeing it. I made a point to have my bedroom done first when I moved into this house. It was actually two bedrooms that were converted into a master, so it’s a large space. There is a coffee bar, a sitting area and the bathroom has a soaking tub. I travel a lot for work, and when I get back home, I can spend the whole weekend in my bedroom. &
