I regret to inform you that I am one of those people … and by those people, I mean the people who get obnoxiously giddy about fall. Autumn is treated like a holiday in my household.

We purchase enough pumpkins to make even Charlie Brown say, “Enough.” We bake treats, we burn candles, we watch scary movies, we drink too much coffee, and we go hiking just to hear the crunch of leaves underfoot and to breathe in the campfire air. And the minute the weather turns crisp, I break out all of the cozy sweaters I own.

If you also belong to Team Caramel Apple, I am delighted to direct you to Page 50, where our annual fall fashion feature by LN style expert Katie Yeadon showcases the trendy togs you should be donning in (ahem) the best wardrobe season of them all.

In the metro area, we have so much to celebrate this autumn, despite the fact that the calendar still unfortunately says 2020.

Begin on Page 74 with LN regular Brittany Nay’s profile about the Gateway Arch’s 55th anniversary. Nay dives into a bit of the history of St. Louis’ favorite landmark and reveals a few amazing photos of its creation

ON THE COVER Saint LouiS art MuSeuM

A Breadth of History

By Maggie Peters | Photos supplied

T

he Saint Louis Art Museum’s newest exhibition, “Storm of Progress,” is a celebration twofold. First, it celebrates the museum’s expansive collection of German art, using COVID-19 as an opportunity to showcase a wide range of media – including pieces that have never previously been on display. The second is a celebration of more than 200 years of German history, shown through various artistic mediums and exploring themes of romanticism, national identity and contemporary movements.

“The chronological breadth of the show is 1800 to nearly the present,” explains Hannah Klemm, co-curator of the exhibition.

“We’re excited about showcasing the German collection across those time periods; World War II usually serves as a break [between exhibitions].”

Galleries follow German history from its early ideas of nationhood, coming together from a series of principalities, shown through exquisite landscapes, and moving into a gallery focused on key German Impressionists. “We have such a strong collection in that area,” says co-curator Simon Kelly.

From there, galleries move to focus on industry and the First World War, before looking at art that engages with the Holocaust, World War II and its aftermath. “We look at how art has responded to these major movements, to engage with politics and destruction,” Klemm says. “We realized that the connection of history and politics and art have become the overarching theme.”

“You’ll see paintings and sculpture, decorative arts and photography,” adds Kelly. “This has been a great opportunity to explore the strengths of our collection.”

Highlights for these curators include the large, abstract art that came out of postwar Germany and a beautiful, never-beforedisplayed work by Expressionist Gabriele Münter.

“There is really something for everyone,” Klemm says. “There are things you associate with prewar Germany and end with conceptual art. It’s a good way to see where contemporary art came from. You have history to work with.”

The “Storm of Progress” exhibition is on display from Nov. 8 through early 2021, and admission is free, giving everyone the opportunity to connect with the Saint Louis Art Museum’s exceptional collection.

Defining Motivation

By Andrea Smith

‌S

aint Louis University’s leadership and psychology department anticipate new opportunities to advance research concerning basic human motivation, or the “innate human drive to find meaning, purpose and explanation of life,” according to a press release.

How? By making use of a recent $1 million donation from Robert Wheeler Sr., a SLU alumnus and former faculty member, to Accelerating Excellence: The Campaign for Saint Louis University.

Wheeler’s gift created the Wheeler Endowed OntosScience Research Fund that will financially support copious psychology research efforts at the university. Findings could be applied to all areas of life and improve people’s mental and physical health, relationships and overall well-being.

“I think that the psychology department at SLU has great potential for pursuing this line of research and really helping humanity,” Wheeler says in the release. “I have become convinced that

14 October 23, 2020 | LadueNews.com

the secret to further advancement of humanity is for people to get back to their basic motivation, the basic thing that we are driven by.”

There are various ways to study human motivation or topics in the area of “positive psychology,” such as optimism, compassion and resilience, says Edward Sabin, an associate professor at SLU with a doctorate in psychology.

The idea is to better understand the underlying factors that contribute to an individual’s sense of purpose.

“Case studies, interviews and the analysis of critical incidents related to meaning could provide narrative insight,” Sabin says. “Studies can assess how meaning develops over the course of a lifetime. Research can investigate the relationship between individual differences in meaning and its relation to demographic characteristics, occupations and different cultures. Interventions designed to increase meaning could be evaluated for effectiveness in areas such as counseling and coaching.”

The endowment is expected to support two

graduate assistantships each year starting next August. Sabin says this will allow graduate students to “develop a line of research that may result in their thesis or dissertation, and may also result in a lifelong area that they continue to research.”

Wheeler became particularly interested in people’s perspectives on the meaning of life while serving in the military for 20 years, according to the press release. He then studied psychology at SLU, where he earned his doctorate and went on to have a 20-year career with the university.

Wheeler held numerous positions and researched personality characteristics that contribute to health, well-being and performance.

Sheila Manion, vice president for development at SLU, says in the release that Wheeler’s “generosity helps solidify the university’s position as a leader in higher education and creates opportunities for our students for many years to come.”

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

DEDICATED TO DIVERSITY

By Sara Cao

W

ith increasing awareness of the importance of diversity in our society, many schools have incorporated courses and programs into their curriculums to emphasize diversity, equity and inclusion – known at John Burroughs School as “DEI.” JBS has been working to increase diversity and transparency since 1996, when Daniel Harris was hired as the school’s first director of DEI to investigate and implement a diversity program.

Harris recognizes the value of ingraining diversity into the school.

“We never would want any student, family, faculty, staff or community member to ever walk through our doors and check parts of their identity at the door,” he says. “Rather, we want all to bring their whole selves and then choose to do the difficult task of exchanging all of who we are with each other.”

Since Harris became DEI director, JBS has established many programs not only to teach

children to step outside of the “Burroughs bubble” and understand the world from different perspectives but also to foster a sense of community and belonging among minority groups.

According to Harris, the school, now 25 years into a formal commitment to DEI, has “built a robust and ever-increasing menu of engagement opportunities that consists of working boardlevel faculty and staff committees, an umbrella of now 18 student interest and affinity groups, a four-year required seminar sequence, numerous assemblies and educational and service learning opportunities, adult options through the Community & Equity partnership, and other partnerships for personal and professional growth that include hosting The Equity Exchange institute for educators.”

Of the programs Harris cited, the student interest and affinity groups remain key for students to directly involve themselves with spreading diversity and awareness. The school’s Diversity ETC umbrella encompasses a variety of clubs and

affinity groups, including the Asian Culture Club, the African American Affinity Group, the Hispanic Culture Club and the Christian Affinity Group.

Leyla Fern King, a senior at JBS and a member of the Diversity ETC executive board, weighs in on the importance of Diversity ETC at JBS. “Before coming to Burroughs and joining the African American Affinity Group, race wasn’t something I regularly thought about, nor did I feel particularly connected to other Black people,” she says. “African American Affinity Group gave me a sense of purpose I hadn’t otherwise had, and it gave me a community I could always turn to. It’s an incredible feeling to walk into a room and, for the first time, see a group of people who look just like you.”

Greg Yawitz

reg Yawitz, board chair of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis, is a proven leader in the St. Louis Jewish and secular communities. A people person, Yawitz prefers to connect in person, “but because of the pandemic, we are having Zoom meetings as we try to address people’s needs in the safety of their homes,” he says.

“I believe in ethical leadership, Jewish values and acts of kindness,” says Yawitz, the owner and managing director of commercial real estate broker and developer KEAT Properties in Olivette. “Helping others brings me personal meaning.”

His involvement in the federation is just one of the ways in which Yawitz embodies this purpose. “Jewish Federation exists to help many people – our support is not just limited to Jewish people,” he says. “Hunger impacts people of all religions and races. Through our more than 60 community partners, we address basic human needs, including food, emergency financial assistance, counseling and poverty. We build partnerships with the overall community, support housing and meals for the elderly, support education, assist people with disabilities and much more.”

John Greenberg, vice chair of campaign for the federation, calls Yawitz a “highly experienced and selfless leader who personifies the vital role of the Jewish Federation during this COVID-19 crisis.”

A resident of the metro area for the past 30 years, Yawitz was born here but moved with his family during fifth grade. He returned after graduating from Los Angeles’ University of Southern California. Immediately, he became civically involved through the St. Louis Counts group and its merger with the St. Louis Ambassadors, becoming the merged organization’s chair.

Married for 27 years, Yawitz and his wife, Julie, live in Olivette with 21-year-old daughter Kaitlyn, who has autism and recently completed her schooling through Special School District of St. Louis County. In May, Yawitz’s wife opened an AR Workshop franchise that’s a do-it-yourself woodworking and craft studio, combining her love of craft with a business that would enable their daughter to work with her and have meaningful employment each day. The couple’s other daughter, Alyson, is currently a graduate student at Boston University.

In 2003, Yawitz received the federation’s Grosberg Young Leadership Award. In 2018, he and his wife were honored with a partnership award from JProStl, which supports professionals working at Jewish organizations throughout St. Louis, in recognition of the difference they make in the Jewish community and the metro area.

Yawitz calls himself fortunate to have had excellent, transformative Jewish leadership training. He served six years on the National Young Leadership Cabinet of the Jewish Federations of North America, belonged to the 2015 St. Louis Wexner Heritage cohort, co-chairs the large-intermediate-size Jewish Federations and serves on the executive committee of the Jewish Federations of North America. He also chairs the local chapter of Autism Speaks and serves on the board of Chesterfield’s Jewish Rock Radio.

Yawitz became board chair of Creve Coeur’s Congregation Shaare Emeth in 2014. When his term ended, he helped lead the congregation through a major renovation project. “I looked at the dollars being spent as more valuable than my own because donors chose to give those dollars, making them sacred,” he relates.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Treating Everyone Right

at CORA Physical Therapy Photos by Christina Kling-Garrett

A

nyone who has ever sprained an ankle, been injured in an auto accident or recovered from major surgery knows the impact that physical therapy can have. Getting your body back to where it once was is an incredible gift. That’s the only focus of the expert clinicians at CORA Physical Therapy.

CORA’s seven St. Louis metro area clinics offer treatment for general orthopedic and sports injuries, including concussions, pre- and postoperative care, vertigo and balance disorders, workplace injuries and workers’ comp evaluations, and post-COVID recovery programs.

In addition to treating patients referred by physicians, the clinics offer complimentary screenings, which identify the source of pain and pinpoint what CORA can do to help. According to Shane Lawler, DPT and regional manager, “The sooner we can get patients started on a treatment plan, the sooner they get back to life!”

creve coeur clinic manager Jodi Klott, pictured right, working with a patient.

Telehealth and Post-COVID Recovery For patients who cannot come into the clinic, CORA has options to ensure continuity of treatment.

“Telehealth gives you the ability to stay connected remotely and in real-time with a CORA clinician,” said CORA Des Peres clinic manager Ashley Williams, DPT. “It provides a sense of control over your health in your home environment, with highly-trained clinicians at your fingertips.”

All the clinics offer post-COVID recovery programs to help with pulmonary dysfunction, cardio impacts, fatigue, pain and muscle wasting from the disease or simply deconditioning due to the COVID shutdown.

Locally Focused Care, Backed by a National Team CORA began in 1998 with three clinics in Florida, and through growth and expansion now operates more than 215 clinics in nine states, Missouri most recently. The CORA clinics in Arnold, Ballwin, Brentwood, Creve Coeur, Des Peres, O’Fallon and South County stem from a partnership with Elite Physical Therapy of St. Louis.

“Our tagline is ‘treating everyone right,’ and that really sums up how we approach the outpatient PT business,” said Jodi Klott, DPT, CORA Creve Coeur clinic manager. “And ‘everyone’ includes employees, patients, referral sources and the community at large.”

Care You Need, When You Need It CORA sets itself apart with its ability to see patients within 24 to 48 hours – sometimes even on the same day. As one of the top outpatient physical therapy providers in the country, CORA accepts 4,000-plus insurance plans and has payment options for those without insurance.

SERVING

Clients First

By Maggie Peters

F

ounded in 2002, The Worley Banks Group has spent nearly 20 years working to put clients’ interests at the forefront of its financial advice. Serving as an independent financial planning firm, The Worley Banks Group recently created a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA).

“We created an RIA to be on the client’s side of the table at all times,” explains Tim Banks, partner. “We are a fiduciary, which ensures we’re advising based on what is best for our clients.”

“The goal is to ensure total objectivity and transparency between our team and our clients’ investments,” adds Dave Worley, partner.

“This structure aligns with our mission to be a trusted advisor to our clients’ families without any conflicts of interest.”

The team at Worley Banks takes a holistic approach to financial planning, citing that all financial decisions, no matter how small, will impact multiple other areas of a person’s life. The firm’s planners serve as a client’s personal chief financial officer, getting to know every aspect of the client’s finances. This enables the team’s planners to help each client make the best decisions for all areas of life.

Clients work with a team at Worley Banks who are best trained for their specific financial needs. “Someone at retirement has totally different issues than someone early in their career,” Banks explains. “My passion and focus is helping families plan at retirement and throughout. There are many emotions and decisions at retirement that families have never had in their entire lives leading up to that point. We want to be there to help them.”

Banks adds that helping people through these transitions is incredibly rewarding. “Our motto is that every encounter matters,” he says. “No matter what the challenges are, we just want to help people.”

GERSHMAN MORTGAGE

Client-Focused FOR 65 YEARS

By Maggie Peters | Portrait courtesy of Gershman Mortgage

F

ounded by Solon Gershman in 1955, Gershman Mortgage is celebrating its 65th year of business as a St. Louis-owned mortgage lender.

“It’s humbling to be part of an organization that has been around for 65 years,” President Adam Mason says. “I’ve been here for 10 years, and we have grown exponentially in that time [alone].”

Today, Gershman Mortgage is one of the largest mortgage companies in the Midwest and is currently one of the only independent mortgage companies in the nation to offer residential, multifamily apartment and healthcare facility financing. The company has grown to close to 300 employees, spread across 30 branch locations throughout eight states, with a loan volume that has grown proportionately higher than its employee count increase. “When I started we might have had four locations,” Mason says. “We’re always growing and evolving.”

Gershman Mortgage places its growth and success on its clientcentric model, with knowledgeable and experienced employees who are dedicated to maintaining a high-level of customer experience. “We pride ourselves on human interaction; we’ve implemented vast technology to help with automation and improving our process, but we never want technology to take the place of guiding people through the home loan process,” Mason says. “Our No. 1 priority is customer service.”

In his 10 years working with Gershman Mortgage, Mason says he has enjoyed the fast-paced and challenging industry, but more than that, has loved working with people and providing them the dream of home ownership or helping with refinancing plans. For Mason, building that trust with the client is the biggest reward.

“We’re very fortunate that we’ve had generations of borrowers,” he says. “It’s really cool to have somebody who is in their eighties talk about what Gershman was like back in the ’50s, and then see their kids and grandkids using this company that is still run out of St. Louis. Not many companies in this industry can say that.”

Gershman Mortgage is looking forward to many years of success serving clients with their home financing goals. “These are exciting times for us,” Mason says. “We have a very bright future at Gershman Mortgage.”

education spotlight VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE

The Wilson school’s VirTual open house Saturday, Nov. 7, beginning at 9 a.m.

B

eginning as the first private, formalized preschool in the metro area, The Wilson School has been serving children here for more than 100 years. The Wilson School’s mission points to a fullness of education, focused on building character, diversity, responsibility and a creative spirit. The school is studentcentered, preparing kids for success in an ever-changing world.

“Our mission is to apply a classic and innovative curriculum,” explains head of school Thad Falkner. “We want our children to comprehend and write and speak well, but we’re very innovative not only in our use of technology but in our integrated learning. We include STEM [science, technology, engineering and math] and humanities with very relevant topics and situational activities.”

The Wilson School has also distinguished itself through its accelerated learning, teaching students a year and a quarter’s worth of material in the length of a school year. This helps combat “the slide,” or loss of information, during summer break.

“When we went to virtual in March, we had to look at what that slide was going to be before starting school in August,” Falkner adds. “We wanted our virtual learning to be solid and worked with parents to make sure students were engaged.”

Between that and the addition of summer learning plans for all students, The Wilson School was able to find, through the use of a standardized benchmark test, that students came back for this semester with scores consistent with what they would have had on their usual accelerated path. “We were able to close what we thought could be a gap,” Falkner says.

Currently, The Wilson School is operating both in person and virtually – through a program called ConnectED – for students, and has further differentiated itself from other schools by allowing students to swap between the two learning options whenever one becomes more convenient or safe.

“We wanted our parents to be able to choose and change at any time,” Falkner says. “We ensured that both would be strong and provide the education as well as attention to students’ social and emotional needs.”

Falkner adds his gratitude for The Wilson School’s incredible teaching staff and their efforts. “Education has changed more in the past seven months than in the past 100 years,” he says. “We’re all very thankful for their dedication.”

or those with loved ones in need of care, the question of moving them to assisted living has never been more difficult.

McKnight Place Assisted Living & Memory Care strives to help families make that decision, as well as that transition, as easy as possible by providing a wealth of resources and expertise, in addition to the highest standard of service for its residents.

“We know people still need to be moving in,” says director of leasing Lesley Pedroli. “Things have definitely changed with our processes, but we have adapted and helped provide our [incoming] residents a safe environment. It feels good – it’s a pleasure to be able to have them move in and be part of our community.”

Understanding that every resident has different needs, McKnight Place ensures that move-in plans are tailored to each person. “We want to make sure that their comfort and what is convenient to them is put first,” Pedroli says.

McKnight Place has worked hard to maintain its standard of assisted living and memory care services under COVID-19 restrictions. The chef on staff has been able to maintain the excellence of McKnight Place’s menu selection and can also make special dishes for residents on request, and activities are still available in the comfort and safety of residents’ apartments.

“We’ve been very fortunate that we have a lot of beautiful common space and lovely outdoor courtyards where people can enjoy sunlight and fresh air,” Pedroli says. The activities offered may look different, from holding outdoor concerts to the addition of a pumpkin patch to having socially distanced s’mores on the patio, but that feeling of support and camaraderie has only gotten stronger.

“We’ve become more of a family in this time, that’s for sure,” Pedroli says. “[Another thing] that’s been amazing is that we’ve had a resident write a book during this time. We were able to purchase her copies and share them with other residents, and have received beautiful responses that it offered them hope and peace.”

Pedroli continues: “You can feel it in our staff; they’re very dedicated to our residents. It’s wonderful to see them having conversations with our residents.” For the staff and owners of McKnight Place – local to St. Louis and always available for questions, comments or concerns – it comes down to treating each resident as an individual.

“People are weighing their options right now, and when we get to know them better, we get to know how best we can speak to them about their opportunities to be engaged and get the support that they need,” Pedroli explains.

“We provide socialization components that lead to health and happiness. I find that our residents have really maintained a level of happiness during this time.

They are extremely resilient – we could all learn from them.”

Pedroli concludes that McKnight Place’s goal is always to provide the knowledge and expertise to help families make an informed choice for their future. “If people are wondering if it’s time to move or move their loved one, we are happy to have those conversations,” she says. “If it’s a good option for them or what else that they can do – we want to be that resource for these families to determine what is best for them. Everything will fall into place from there.”

SSM HealtH Cardinal Glennon CHildren’S HoSpital

Nothing Less than What a Child in Need Deserves

F

or children and families who are fighting for their lives, SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital is not only the place to get better – it becomes a sanctuary. A pioneer in health care, the hospital uses front-line medicine to provide the best quality of life for its young patients.

“No family, no child wants to see a hematologist or oncologist,” says Dr. Bill Ferguson, pediatric hematology and oncology. “We never treat things that are not serious. If you need a doctor in those areas, you need a facility that treats the child, [not just the medical issue]. We deliver two aspects of care: Stateof-the art medical care [and] a uniquely supportive atmosphere for families and kids.”

That first aspect of care is furthered by SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital’s involvement with other groups of hospitals, allowing it access to “cutting-edge medicine, so we can continue pushing the frontiers [of health care],” Ferguson notes.

According to Ferguson, when treating hemophilia, a bleeding disorder that appears almost exclusively in boys, waiting to treat bleeding episodes often resulted in damaged joints and long-term disability. Preventing bleeding episodes, with clotting factors, requires around three intravenous injections a week.

“In late 2018, a new drug was approved,” he describes.

“It’s not a clotting factor, but an antibody that acts like the missing factor in hemophilia. It lasts in the body longer, so patients only require an injection every two weeks or so – which makes a big difference.”

In cases of neuroblastoma, SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital is the only center in the region to offer a new approach to improve patients’ chances of avoiding relapse.

“We look for how genes are expressed in the child’s individual tumor,” Ferguson says. “All tumors seem to

40

have some metabolic pathway that’s turned on too high, but many of these can be potentially treated with newer, ‘targeted’ drugs. Combining these with chemo is a very promising approach to personalized medicine.”

For a fairly common disorder, sickle cell disease, there are few drugs available to relieve symptoms.

Two new medicines were approved last year, which the Costas Center has been aggressive in introducing to selected patients.

“One is an oral drug taken daily; the other is intravenous and taken once a month,” Ferguson describes. “They decrease the number of red blood cells that are being destroyed and the amount of pain that children might have. Our physicians move more severe cases to this treatment to increase quality of life for those kids.”

Not only can families expect first-rate medical care for their children at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, they can trust that those watching over their children see them as people and not just as charts. It’s a place that comes to feel like a second home, where children arrive for their visits and run to hug the nurses. This year’s Glennon Glow, which will be hosted virtually, encourages the community to help recognize this institution’s important work on behalf of children.

“Cardinal Glennon has been the beneficiary of the community’s generosity for years,” Ferguson adds. “We couldn’t do what we do without our community and benefactors. There is so much not covered by insurance, and it can quickly overwhelm families. Having support makes a difference in our ability to treat children.”

GROOMING & GLAMOUR

The Queen of K-Beauty‌

By Amanda Dahl | Photo by Liz Olson Photography

‌S

heet masks, a Korean secret, have forever transformed the world of beauty. Seoul Mamas, a St. Louis-based company inspired by Korea, the country in which the sheet mask is manufactured, launched in November 2016 and was among the first to introduce this revolutionary product – now found in every pharmacy and beauty supply store – to the American public. Today, the innovative company has found its niche in producing private labels for the brand names you know and love, expanding beyond its sheet mask origins.

“Beauty is serious business in Korea,” founder Geri Cope says. “I’m Korean. I was adopted. Three of my children are Korean adoptions. We found the people to be beautiful, and we wanted to bring that here. We want to create more beauty in this world because we believe that when people feel more beautiful, they do beautiful things.”

The mission of Seoul Mamas is “to create beauty products that help people to take care of themselves like a treasured possession,” she adds.

Beginning in retail, Seoul Mamas found extreme success when W Hotels, owned by Marriott International, reached out to partner with the K-beauty company. To match the trendy W Hotels chain, Seoul Mamas made the Bright ‘n’ Tight Masque, featuring vitamin C and peptide, “for when you literally can’t even.”

“We created sheet masks and sold them to about 20-plus W Hotels locations in the U.S.,” Cope says.

“Then we realized we would rather sell to large, established companies than to retail ourselves.”

In changing the company’s direction, Seoul Mamas soon partnered with Neiman Marcus, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, Westin Hotels & Resorts, The Bride Box (a monthly subscription box for brides-to-be), and even aestheticians and dermatologists, landing the company’s sheet masks in 100 spas across the U.S.

46 October 23, 2020 | LadueNews.com

“We find out what our client wants to accomplish,” Cope says. “We send that to our chemists – research and development – in Korea. They come up with formulas and recommendations, and we advise our clients on how to make something. People love the sheet masks because they’re innovative and effective.”

The Seoul Mamas Revitalizing Mask uses caviar extract, with antioxidants, to nourish the skin, along with apple and wild cherry to brighten while chamomile flower extract reduces the appearance of dark spots. These unique combinations and powerhouse ingredients keep

the company ahead of the industry, even with its other skin care products such as cleansers, eye masks, toners and creams.

One of Seoul Mamas’ biggest clients to date is the online retailer iHerb, a global health and wellness company that sells natural products.

This fall, customers can expect to see PrettyInside, manufactured by Seoul Mamas, in Anthropologie stores across the U.S., with a variety of sheet masks including a charcoal bubble detox and glitter hydrogel.

Closing Shop

By Pat Raven, Ph.D., with Julie Hess

W

hen autumn officially ends and you put away all things outdoors for the winter, give some love and attention to your hand tools.

Storing them clean and sharp now will leave them ready for the first warm days of spring 2021. Doing so also will allow you to inventory them – and make your wish list for the coming holiday season.

Everything should start with a good cleaning, but each kind of tool requires a little different treatment. In the kitchen, of course, I’ve developed the habit of washing my good knives after every use and hanging them on a magnetic rack beside the sink.

Do the same for trowels, scoops, hand rakes and clippers by removing dirt after each use.

Deal with dried-on dirt by spraying tools with a pressure washer or hose-on jet. More stubborn dirt may require soaking tools in a bucket with dish soap and warm water, followed by the application of steel wool or a stiff wire brush.

Goo Gone or turpentine, meanwhile, easily dispenses with sticky sap.

Disinfecting everything with a 10 to 15 percent bleach solution remains integral to keep plant diseases from spreading in your garden. Soak hand tools, pots, flats and all containers for several hours in a plastic garbage can with 1 gallon of bleach to every 9 gallons of water. Then dry everything well.

Store smaller tools in your garage by mounting a couple of knife racks between the garage doors using space that often goes ignored. Because I have so many seasonal plants and empty pots, I’ve also installed rafter-hung heavy-duty overhead storage shelves. The shelf over the garage refrigerator is reserved for tender potted plants so they don’t freeze. (Incidentally, try using only clear garbage bags to cover living plants and textiles; doing so makes it much easier to locate items than using dark bags.) Another shelf holds all empty pots, planters, garden stools and cushions safely out of the way.

48 October 23, 2020 | LadueNews.com

I always recommend buying the best tools possible because working with a dull or weak tool can result in breakage or slippage – and injury to you. Just as you have sharp knives in the kitchen instead of dangerously dull ones, keeping a good working edge on shovels, spades and clippers can protect you from harm. Use a bench grinder, flat file with WD-40 or whetstone with oil to freshen edges following the original angle.

Otherwise, wooden handles and metal parts

need a fresh coat of linseed oil on all surfaces – and always promptly replace cracked wooden handles.

To store larger tools, I’ve installed a commercial-grade grid wall panel to organize them, but pegboard works just as well. As the final touch, add Velcro straps and hangers to control the chaos of garden hoses and outdoor extension cords.

Then, step back and admire!

THE BIG DAY

THE DIAMOND BAR

Custom Jewelry,

CUSTOM EXPERIENCE

By Maggie Peters | Photos by Christina Kling-Garrett

A

lthough wedding ceremonies may be changing in appearance this year, wedding and engagement jewelry is as popular as ever. The Diamond Bar offers those looking to design custom pieces for their special day an exemplary experience at an unparalleled price.

With more than 16 years in the jewelry business, owner Chris Phillips knew that the diamond-buying experience could be re-imagined. That’s what he set out to do, opening The Diamond Bar in Town and Country in 2019.

“I opened this store to show people that custom jewelry doesn’t have to be outrageously expensive,” he explains. “You can design for yourself or someone else, and there will be nothing else like it.”

Aptly named, The Diamond Bar comes with a fully stocked wet bar available for customers – serving alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. “We have fun,” Phillips says. “[For engagements] we get out a bottle of Champagne and provide an experience where customers can try on different ring styles with different shapes and qualities of diamonds to get a good sense of their style, before we begin focusing on creating the perfect

60

piece for their price range.”

The Diamond Bar strives to give shoppers a unique piece, whether they’re spending $1,500 or $150,000.

Every item is crafted in the United States, and all stones used are natural and hand-selected. “When it comes to value, we feel our quality and price, when compared, will exceed your expectations,” Phillips says.

It’s working well, and The Diamond Bar is staying busy in these complicated times. “We sell engagement rings and wedding jewelry for people who have had a smaller ceremony that they can wear again for a large wedding later,” Phillips explains. “A lot of people are [also] using a grandparent’s gemstones as their ‘something old.’ It’s been fun to navigate the sentimental side of this.”

Although The Diamond Bar can’t guarantee any big events for the upcoming holidays, Phillips adds that The Diamond Bar consistently carries 500 to 750 custom pieces in its showroom, with multiple new pieces a month. There is always new inventory to explore, so stop in and experience a different way of jewelry.

GATHERINGS & GOODWILL DUO DOGS

A FETCHING AFFAIR Photos and story by Diane Anderson

I

n early March, Duo Dogs hosted A Fetching Affair at The Chase Park Plaza in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood. The soldout evening event began with a cocktail reception, a silent auction and other fundraising initiatives to support the organization and raised a record-setting $470,000. Proceeds from it go toward helping those who need the support of assistance dogs. TV personality Kelly Jackson from KSDK served as the special guest host. Duo Dogs trains and connects assistance dogs to people with certain physical, emotional and social needs, “creating a dynamic, life-enhancing duo,” according to the organization.

Visit LADUENEWS.COM to see more fabulous photos from this event!

ln

Duo Dogs’ A Fetching Affair is a fun way to celebrate all of the champions who support Duo’s mission: our donors, sponsors, volunteers, staff and, of course, the stars of the night – our dogs. Our assistance and facility dogs provide independence and reassurance for those with physical or emotional challenges, and our touch teams bring friendly furry faces to places where people need extra comfort, like hospitals and nursing homes.

We’re changing lives, one dog at a time.

DINNER TO GO

CRAFT EATS & DRINKS

ildwood’s Craft Eats & Drinks, which features a menu of upscale pub fare for curbside pickup, dishes everything from jumbo soft pretzels and sandwiches to seafood and internationally inspired bowls.

The eatery, which debuted in April 2019, comes from John McDonald, who also owns Nick’s Irish Pub and SOHA Bar & Grill (both St. Louis establishments).

“We’re offering our full menu for curbside pickup and have a new head chef who studied under David Burke,” says general manager David Emmelkamp, referring to the American chef/restaurateur who appeared on the Food Network TV show Iron Chef America. “We’re going to try to elevate the food and bring a new little twist to St. Louis.”

“Our new menu is finer fare,” says executive

70 October 23, 2020 | LadueNews.com

chef Jeff Marino, who has a sushi background. “It’s higher-end fare with a lot more seafood options.

Everything’s fresh, from jerked halibut to nigiri.”

The jerk halibut comes with pineapple salsa, Brussels sprouts, spring vegetables and beurre blanc. Shrimp scampi, another highlight from the seafood menu, includes half a pound of shrimp, white wine, butter and garlic.

Among additional highlights, guests might try a house classic: the Craft Bavarian Pretzel, a jumbo pretzel that’s baked in-house, buttered and either salted or topped with “everything” seasoning (customarily, a mix of dehydrated garlic and onion with sesame and poppy seeds) and then served with queso blanco and scallion cream cheese spread.

Flash-fried Brussels sprouts, also a popular shareable, incorporate Parmesan, red peppers,

house seasoning, lime mayo and remy sauce. Bowls include the Big Island Poke Bowl with raw ahi, wasabi, fresh vegetables, ginger, teriyaki, lemon vinaigrette and the diner’s choice of rice.

From the “Hand Helds” section of the menu, Emmelkamp recommends the beef tenderloin sandwich, which comes with horseradish and sautéed onion on a garlic-cheese baguette.

Meanwhile, the salmon burger – one of Marino’s favorites – features charbroiled salmon with mayo, slaw and pickles on a brioche.

Last but certainly not least, Craft Eats & Drinks’ full bar offers 32 beers on tap, wine and such cocktails as a grapefruit martini and a strawberry mojito.

“In 2016, I was going to the Culinary Institute of America in New York,” Prestien says. “Then, in early 2017, I found out I was pregnant with my son, and in a couple months, he was diagnosed with a rare birth defect called gastroschisis, which is when the intestines develop outside of the body.”

Prestien was immediately put on bed rest, simultaneously having to press pause on her dream.

“When he was born, obviously, they repaired the intestinal defect,” Prestien says, “but after that, he had some trouble with waking up and feeding, and after an eight-week [neonatal intensive care unit] stay, he was diagnosed with yet another very rare medical defect that’s called Prader-Willi Syndrome.”

PWS affects the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus of the brain. Although symptoms vary, Prestien says the biggest hallmark of PWS is that PWS patients don’t produce the hormone that allows them to feel full.

“Because I had gone to French culinary school, where I had learned to make everything with loads of carbs and lots and lots of sugar, I was kind of having to learn how to remake everything,” Prestien says. “And then I got pregnant a few months after with my daughter, who was diagnosed with, again, an extremely rare heart defect. She was missing her right ventricle.”

The news brought the family to St. Louis in 2018 to be close to St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

“I was literally at Children’s three to four days

BOTH OF MY CHILDREN WERE ON FEEDING TUBES, THEY BOTH HAD SPECIALIST AND THERAPY APPOINTMENTS, AND I DECIDED TO JUST START BAKING TO SELL TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO BRING IN ANY LITTLE BIT OF INCOME THAT I COULD. a week between the two of them,” Prestien says.

“As much as I desperately wanted to, I just could not get a regular job. I had to have too much time off. Both of my children were on feeding tubes, they both had specialist and therapy appointments, and I decided to just start baking to sell to family and friends to bring in any little bit of income that I could.”

Prestien says she kept receiving positive feedback and then more and more requests.

“I was like, ‘Wow, maybe I could do this. I could work this around my schedule,’” Prestien says. “So I started a website and started selling at the [University City] Farmers Market, and it all

kind of snowballed.”

Today, Hemlock & Honey Baking Co. offers macarons – fan-favorite flavors include French toast, cheesecake and strawberry shortcake – cupcakes, cookies, muffins and more, all available for order online or at the U City farmers market.

“This is going to sound silly, but it means everything,” Prestien says. “It shows me that you don’t need someone to come save you. You can do it. Anyone can do it.”

THE WINE LIFE

CLEAN WINE

By Stanley Browne

I

n a world where consumers increasingly focus on “clean” eating, what about clean drinking?

Clean wine involves producing higher-quality wine through the use of “cleaner” methods both in the vineyard and in the winery.

Organic, biodynamic and sustainable form three of the main watchwords for achieving cleaner farming. Essentially, the practices behind those watchwords seek to increase the general health of a vineyard, thereby increasing the quality of its product.

This can take place in several ways, from limiting the use of artificial chemicals and increasing the use of more natural pesticides and herbicides, to preserving the overall natural state of the vineyard’s entire ecosystem.

Clean practices also take into consideration the effect that farming

can have on surrounding areas, such as any chemicals that drain from land into lakes or waterways – and what impact such drainage might have.

In short, clean farming marks a return to more natural farming and promotes an all-over healthier ecosystem that increases soil quality and therefore higher-quality crops.

Sustainability in the vineyard has been proven to produce higher-quality grapes for winemaking and can make them more aromatic, flavorful, tannic or acidic, leaving little need to add anything unnatural during the actual winemaking. Limiting or eliminating artificial materials like color, flavor or aroma enhancers and methods for preserving the wine remain essential in producing clean wine.

Although they have subtle differences, organic, sustainable and biodynamic

farming all have the same endgame: no pollutants, a healthy farm and a better product, Such practices also strive to leave the land in a shape as good as if not better than it had at the start of things.

Separating biodynamic farming from organic and sustainable is its use of astrology to guide vineyard maintenance and production. Although some might scoff at this idea, wine producers who practice biodynamic production swear by it – one even stating that it helped nurse a diseased vineyard back to health, ultimately producing its best fruit ever.

In the end, clean wine produces much higher-quality wine and benefits both the environment and the people drinking the wine made there.

ome said it couldn’t be done: a gracefully curved steel structure soaring 630 feet above St. Louis’ riverfront, framing the so-called Gateway to the West.

And yet, 55 years after the last section was placed at its zenith, the Gateway Arch still stands as the world’s tallest arch and the tallest human-made monument as such in the Western Hemisphere.

“The Arch has a simple, sleek design, and yet, it is a huge feat in engineering,” says Pam Sanfilippo, chief of museum services and interpretation at Gateway Arch National Park. “Most people see the Gateway Arch as a kind of treasure and a source of civic pride, beauty, engineering and architecture – it’s really something St. Louis is proud of.”

On Wednesday, Oct. 28, the icon marks its 55th birthday. Although the main event – to honor the landmark’s builders – will take place virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the expanded national park grounds, the re-imagined museum and the Arch itself, including tram rides to its top, remain open to the public following a brief closure amid that pandemic.

Many have said that the new exhibits tell the story of St. Louis and westward expansion from multiple perspectives – both the good and bad impacts it had.”

– Pam SanfiliPPo

The journey to building the storied structure began in 1933, when St. Louis civic leader Luther Ely Smith conceived of constructing a memorial on the St. Louis riverfront that would both help revitalize the area and serve as a symbol of westward expansion. After a nationwide competition to select its design, Finnish American architect and industrial designer Eero Saarinen’s stainless steel arch was chosen to celebrate that expansion. “The son of renowned architect Eliel Saarinen beat out his father in the competition,” Sanfilippo notes.

A groundbreaking for the monument, dubbed the Gateway to the West, was held June 23, 1959, and excavation began in 1961. “It was a slow, methodical, thoughtful process to make sure everything was done safely and met the goals and ideals that the project began with back in the ’30s,” Sanfilippo explains.

The 142 steel pieces of the Arch were fabricated by the nowdefunct Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company and shipped to St. Louis on gondola cars by railroad. About 200 professionals – architects, engineers, crane operators and steelworkers – teamed to build the memorial, which was completed on Oct. 28, 1965.

“Actuaries actually considered when this project was beginning, the insurance and risk assessment, that 13 would die – and no one died,” Sanfilippo says, noting that safety had been made a top priority from the project’s inception.

To transport visitors to the top of the Arch, a tram in its north leg was completed in 1967, and a second, south-leg tram was added the next year.

Each year, more than 2 million people typically visit the Arch memorial grounds, and about 75 percent of them ride the tram to the monument’s top to lean against its slanted sides and peer out rectangular windows at St. Louis’ skyline and beyond. “Since 1965, more than 140 million people have visited,” Sanfilippo says. “It has brought a tremendous amount of tourism to St. Louis.”

Since the monument and its grounds became a national park in 2018, its remodeled museum and surrounding pathways have continued to draw a significant number of area residents and tourists alike, even during the pandemic, Sanfilippo says. “People are taking advantage of over 5 miles of walking and biking paths,” she says. “It’s a great way for people to get out and social distance, relax and find some peace on the grounds.”

And Sanfilippo describes the museum’s exhibitions as “can’t miss” attractions. “There are lots of interactive components to engage people,” she says. “Many have said that the new exhibits tell the story of St. Louis and westward expansion from multiple perspectives – both the good and bad impacts it had. Visitors appreciate they can get those individual stories and make their own connections to the past.”

For information on the Arch’s 55th anniversary celebration and special events, interested parties can visit nps.gov/jeff or the monument’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages; they also can reserve entry tickets by visiting gatewayarch.com or by calling 877-982-1410.

Although trips to the top of the Arch require social distancing and face coverings, Sanfilippo says guest response has been favorable. “In the past, it would get crowded when it came to finding windows, but now each group is assigned to a particular set of windows,” she says. “So now visitors feel they’re getting a better, more unique experience.”
