The service club gifted an early reader book to each of the 449 kindergarteners in the Kirkwood School District. The initiative is part of its Early Reader Program, which launched in 2006.

EDUCATION EQUITY

“I just can’t imagine any place I’d like more.”

—John Drew

TODAY AND TOMORROW EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION

by stephanie wallace WHILE THE SCHOOL YEAR MAY BE ENDING, it doesn’t mean education should be put on the backburner. In an ideal world, every child would have access to challenging academic experiences and the educational resources necessary for success. However, due to socioeconomic factors, quality education is often not guaranteed for many children in our community. The Today and Tomorrow Educational Foundation is dedicated to providing local families freedom of educational choice, so every child can achieve their academic, civic and economic goals. For more than 30 years, the nonprofit has provided scholarships so students can attend private or parochial schools that will better serve them.

“Poverty is pervasive in St. Louis, and sadly, it’s placing way too many children behind the educational starting line,” executive director Julie Soffner says. “Simply based on where they live, a student may not have access to a school that matches their needs and offers the tools needed to unlock their potential. We offer scholarships and financial assistance to make better education possible.”

While TTEF is a Catholic organization, it offers scholarships to all families, regardless of religious affiliation. Parents select a private or parochial school that will best serve their children but is beyond their financial reach, and the nonprofit awards a need-based scholarship to make it achievable.

The success of TTEF’s work can be seen in the numbers: 100% of students make it to eighth grade graduation, 89% are enrolled in a college prep high school, 99% complete their secondary education and 87% go on to attend a postsecondary institution, according to Soffner. “We provide an educational foundation so scholars can move forward and improve their lives,” she says. “When we help a student enroll in school, we are making a nine-year commitment to them, from kindergarten to grade eight. To make this possible, we rely on community support in so many ways—whether its donations or helping the amazing schools we partner with.”

The pandemic has increased the need for TTEF’s services. “The families that require financial assistance are disproportionately struggling because of the difficulty to rebound and navigate emerging economic challenges,” Soffner notes. “Not only is there increased inflation, but many of these parents work in some of the hardest hit industries. We may be emerging from the pandemic, but we’ll be feeling the residual impact for years to come. Scholarships have never meant more than they do now.” The organization has also seen area schools struggling with the challenges of COVID-19, including an increased reliance on donors to continue to serve families and provide the technology necessary for remote learning.

Every year, TTEF helps more than 5,500 children attend a school that works for them, and raising the money to help fund the next school year is critical during the summer. “St. Louis is so generous in helping students achieve their potential,” Soffner says. “Since our inception, we have raised more than $175 million in need-based tuition. We are helping to reduce poverty, boost the local economy and allow these kids to change their future. Every child deserves a chance, and we’re that chance for many in St. Louis." &

TOWN TALK

k l a t OF THE TOWNS by bill beggs jr.

the metro

downtown

With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good. That is, unless it’s one of the J.M. Smucker Co.’s most popular products: Jif peanut butter. If you can’t find the popular brand of creamy or crunchy foodstuff at your grocery, it’s because the company has recalled millions of containers that are potentially tainted by Salmonella bacteria. Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems.

Healthy people infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. There are roughly four dozen varieties in the Jif

They’ll show you the money … lots and lots of it. But they aren’t crooks, and nobody’s trying to drag off an ATM; there’s nothing at all untoward going on down here. The curious will see plenty of cash at the Economy Museum in the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank downtown; the museum reopened recently after closing due the pandemic in March 2020. Visitors also will be able to fondle—OK, handle—an actual gold bar. It’s firmly attached and isn’t going anywhere. The StL is renowned for its free museums, but this one is special: Rather than paying to get in, you leave with a bag full of cash. A small bag, indeed, with an indeterminate amount of the coveted green paper, which is shredded. And it isn’t even paper. That would fall apart from handling much sooner than expected.

Our bills are made of cotton and linen, which take six years or so to deteriorate. After that, your cash ain’t nothin’ but trash, to quote a 1973 song by the Steve Miller Band. That’s one of the major purposes of the Fed: All 12 branches are tasked with destroying our money once it’s lived up to expectations. The shredded bills that aren’t packaged as souvenirs or used in museum displays will be composted eventually. It’s like Humpty Dumpty: Not even a whiz kid who can solve a Rubik’s cube puzzle, blindfolded and behind their back, could ever put George, Thomas, Abe, Alexander, Andrew, Ulysses or Benjamin back together again. (Thomas? Jefferson is on the $2 bill.) Then there’s all this blah blah blah about economics, a full understanding of which would go a long way toward explaining the global financial mess we’re in. But most of what many of us would have any interest in at the Economy Museum is touching, smelling and learning about money. It may not grow on trees, but it does on plants. Sort of. Anyway, you can visit Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Broadway and Locust. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination status required.

recall. Consumers who have questions or need to report adverse reactions should visit jif.com/contact-us or call 800.828.9980 during business hours.

The peanut-butter shortage is a minor inconvenience compared to the critical shortage of baby formula. Contamination at an Abbott Labs plant in Michigan led to a recall of Similac formula, which has created a host of problems beyond supply-chain issues. The FDA says the idled plant may soon resume operation.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has invoked the Defense Production Act requiring manufacturers to produce formula on an emergency basis, and cargo planes have begun shipments from overseas. And now, a misinformation alert from the Associated Press: Rumor—Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates created the shortage by investing in a company that makes artificial breast milk. Fact—The investment by Gates’ firm, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, has nothing to do with any baby formula shortage.

Bandana’s is what some may call comfort food. The barbecue restaurant’s location at Manchester and Rock Hill Road—the well-heeled from the fine suburbs to the north might call the north-to-south artery McKnight Road—was my go-to when the kids were younger. My daughter Livvy loved it. She’d order a potato stuffed with pulled pork and who knows what else, eat three bites, then take the rest home to languish in the fridge for a few months until she opened the door, discovered it, said “ewww” and discarded the noxious mess. Anyhow, Bandana’s was one of my gustatory destinations for nearly 15 years. It made it through the pandemic just fine, but then the local store converted to an eatery without wait staff (you ordered at the bar), and… *mic drop*… it closed. Fortunately for junk-food junkies, there’s easy, greasy food to be found most anywhere.

Whenever I had Livvy for a few days, we’d drive through the neighborhood Jack in the Box so she could load up on cholesterol before I dropped her off at school.

(I was a ‘fun’ dad. Responsible? Don’t ask her mother.) Now, as a fan of Waffle House, Livvy would have loved Courtesy Diner, too, but it wasn’t in our ZIP code. Hate to break it to greasy-spoon lovers in our coverage area who may have stopped there at 2 a.m. on their way home from an urban night out, but the Kingshighway location is ‘temporarily’ closed because, apparently, you just can’t get good help anymore. “Happy Days” are over: Courtesy has, or had, a drive-in feature. Don’t know whether servers wore roller skates to go back and forth from the cars parked under the awnings. Well, there’s always Sonic. Don’t tell me the one on Manchester a click or two due east of Rock Hill is closed. Whaaat?!?

Truffles? Ruth’s Chris? Fleming’s? Hmm… probably need reservations. But we don’t want to sit down or anything. We’re. Hungry. Now.

HISTORICALLY, HOW AND WHEN HAS SALMONELLA BEEN TO BLAME FOR WIDESPREAD U.S. HEALTH PROBLEMS?

LAST ISSUE’S Q&A What song features the lyric, “drove my Chevy to the levee / but the levee was dry?” Who had a hit with the tune? What year was it released? What other significant detail about this song had to be part of a trivia contest at somebody’s parish?

The iconic lyric is from Don McLean’s “American Pie,” the biggest—and to many in the class of 1972, most annoying—hit song released that year. At eight minutes and 36 seconds, it was the longest single to hit No. 1—it beat out “Hey Jude” by the Beatles from 1968 (7:10) but was usurped by Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” in 2021. McLean’s song was so long, it took up both sides of a 45-RPM vinyl single!

town and country Kristin and Stuart Montaldo adopted their daughter when she was 4 months old from Mykolayiv, Ukraine, a decade after the former Soviet state had become its own country following the disintegration of the U.S.S.R. in 1991. Doctors thought that Anna Montaldo, who has spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy, would never be able to talk. Now 21, she communicates verbally but is an absolute whiz at texting. And all forms of social media are her stock-in-trade, if you will. In fact, she recorded our interview with her smartphone on a tripod, edited it and loaded it to her YouTube channel seemingly before I’d even pulled away from the Montaldo home in Town and Country. Her domain is a spacious area in the back, set up as her apartment and office.

A 2020 graduate of Parkway Central, thanks to the pandemic the first year in perhaps forever that graduation ceremonies weren’t a sure thing, she was anything but disappointed. “I was very glad we didn’t have a graduation ceremony,” says Montaldo, who uses a special walker to help her get around. She made the most of high school, despite so many of her classmates having no idea how to approach or communicate with her. “They have preconceived notions,” she points out. She got along better with the boys than the girls, perhaps for two reasons. One: she has two older brothers, Max and Mitch, both thirtyish, with whom she takes great pleasure in hanging out.

Two: mean girls. It’s a thing—they even made a movie about it. Many people conflate physical disability and a speech impediment with an intellectual deficit. Um, no. Upon realizing the powers-that-be at school weren’t exactly sure what to do with her, Montaldo started working with her guidance counselor on a special curriculum. Well, she developed it pretty much on her own, starting as a sophomore, with the vision of creating a unique brand. She took courses in marketing, branding, photography and visual design. Her brand, which marks its fifth anniversary June 4, is The CP Life. (On the web: gocplife.com.) Did we mention that this woman is a whiz on social media? Her growing presence is well represented on Instagram and Facebook, and Montaldo has, at this writing, 969 subscribers to her YouTube channel. Greater disability awareness is the goal; it’s not so much a matter of confronting obstacles as it is overcoming misperceptions, eliminating discrimination and finding others, when need be, to help with the challenges that particular disabilities present. Well, Montaldo isn’t nearly so wordy: “The Mission of CP Life is to use social media platforms in a positive way to help break down common disability stereotypes for all people.” That’s on the lower half of the home page, where you’ll also find links to the YouTube, Facebook and Instagram profiles for The CP Life. On the top half of the page, you can get a feel for the enthusiasm Montaldo has for her enterprise: “Paving the way to a more inclusive world for all!”

PATTY by patty hannum

I THINK ALL OF US ARE READY FOR A

because of the people. Never met a mean Iowan.

(No need to send me your list if you have one.) And then of course, I love the Florida Keys where the water is clear, people don’t own winter coats and no one ever asks what you do for a living. So why not focus on our beautiful National Parks? Simple reason. They are death traps for people like me, who in one year broke both her feet and lacerated her liver.

You see people die at these naturally beautiful family venues. Stay away from the Cascade National Park, which has the highest rate of death in part because it is visited the least. Apparently, the rugged and steep mountains aren’t meant for Tilles Park strollers like me. About eight people every year are killed by wild animals—much less than I thought, given the dreams I have. Many more are killed when posing for selfies! People can often fall or drown. Death traps, I tell you!

So, I’ve decided I want to go to Australia where it seems so beautiful and the people

little adventure in our lives after staying close to home because of COVID, and now with cases going down (keep your fingers crossed) and boosters available, it seems safer to travel. Instead of worrying about the guy next to me coughing (yes, I still wear a mask on an airplane), now I just hope he keeps his shoes on.

I am happy to say I’ve traveled to 49 of the 50 states—Alaska is the only one I have yet to visit.

I plan to get there with my nephew Evan on a cruise, as he also hopes to visit all 50 states. However, he has four kids to put through college, so I might have a long wait. Perhaps, I could just offer to pay and put him up in the mechanical room of the cruise liner.

I am sure they would allow that. No one tell Evan.

Now, I haven’t seen every city in each state, but I have both slept and eaten a meal in each one.

I have a love of most states that others don’t.

I think Kansas is majestic. You see wide open spaces, but I see working farms. I love Iowa

are friendly. Why, you ask? My Amazon Prime subscription includes Acorn TV which offers a variety of Australian shows, so I feel I am well versed in the culture of the people! Yes, I did just write that sentence with a certain amount of sincerity. Somehow, I think Married at First Sight Australia will prepare me. Plus, to fit in I am going to start using some Australian slang once I land: Would you like a cuppa? Why yes, tea with honey would be great.

Tell me about the Sheila you are traveling with? She is my daughter. Don’t go near her.

Do you reckon you could grab me a stubby from the fridge? I would be happy to grab a beer for you.

Did you see that man on the beach in his budgie smugglers? Yes, I saw his speedo, and my eyes now need to be rinsed out.

I will be so ready when the trip I haven’t booked arrives! G’day Mates!

PARENT TRAP by dr. tim jordan

“Turn your face to the sun and u.” the shadows fall behindMāyo ori Proverb -

TIMELESS WISDOM FOR GRADS BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL GRADS embark on the next leg of their

journey, it’s a good time to reflect on their life up until now and mindfully take charge of their future. Here are 10 pieces of advice for young adults starting their next chapters.

1. Reflect on what you have learned about yourself thus far academically, socially and in romantic relationships. What have you discovered about your interests, strengths, aptitude and passions?

2. Reframe any negative beliefs you’ve accrued about yourself due to adversities. Adolescents who were ditched by their friend group may have decided that they are not good enough, are weird, don’t fit in or are unimportant. You’re not in charge of what challenges come your way, but you are always in charge of what you make of them.

3. Set intentions for what you want as far as academic, social and personal growth. College is a chance to get out of your comfort zone and reinvent yourself, so go for it!

4. Learn to savor each moment. Learn to slow down and let yourself be present for the unsung moments of life, those in-between moments that make up most of our lives. You’ve been conditioned to scroll to the next more exciting thing and to be restless and bored, causing you to rush from one experience to the next.

Cultivate the mindful awareness of the more subtle

but fulfilling moments between the moments that comprise the vast majority of our existence. Savor these moments and the joy that they bring.

5. Learn to enjoy quiet, alone time. Make it important to find a safe space on campus to think, reflect, soul search or journal. Take time regularly to express your emotions so they do not build up and overwhelm you.

6. Make a list of the qualities of a true friend and look for people who embody those attributes. It’s important to surround yourself with supportive friends, so it’s okay to be selective and deliberate.

7. Embrace the uncertainty of your future and remember that there are infinite ways to get there. Be open to experiences that you are drawn to and trust they will slowly but surely lead you to your calling.

8. Teach your parents along the way about how to support you. Also, it’s time to embrace that you should know what’s best for you more than anyone. It’s time to carve out your own path.

9. Learn from your mistakes and failures. These experiences will help you grow through new perspectives, grit, resilience, generosity, empathy and

the ability to reach out for help. The intensity of today’s experiences might lead to career choices you hadn’t previously considered.

10. Be the architect of what it means for you to have it all. Define success and balance on your own terms.

This will bring you fulfillment and contentment.

Take charge of your beliefs about yourself and move into this next stage of your life unencumbered by old baggage. Learn to have quiet time to check in with yourself to keep on target with your desires. Interview lots of adults and ask them how they got to their calling in order to give you the courage to live life your way and to forge your own path. You are in charge of your story, including your past, present and future. Savor the moments and enjoy this next adventure. And as Dr. Seuss so wisely wrote, “Oh, the places you’ll go.” & TIM JORDAN, M.D., IS A BEHAVIORAL PEDIATRICIAN WHO WORKS WITH GIRLS IN GRADE SCHOOL THROUGH COLLEGE.

TOWN TALK

STUDENT STANDOUTS by stephanie wallace

LAINEY HOGG OF KIRKWOOD HIGH SCHOOL WHILE IT MAY BE A CLICHE, there’s truth to the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. Lainey Hogg, a recent graduate of Kirkwood High School, certainly understands the power of photography. This spring, she won in three categories of the St. Louis Public Radio Teen Photojournalist Prize contest, including the top honor of Best in Show.

Where did your interest in photography come from?

I’ve always been taking photos. When I was six or seven, my parents gave me a point-and-shoot camera for Christmas. I would take it wherever I went and take photos of random things. In middle school, my mom had a DSLR, and I would play around with it. I also joined the yearbook, and we did a little photography. Freshman year, I took photojournalism and learned more of the technical aspects. I really developed my skills working with the Pioneer Yearbook.

What do you enjoy about photography?

I really like being able to tell stories through the camera and show people different aspects of events. For example, at a football game, you may watch the field, but there are so many other things you don’t usually get to see. That’s what I like to capture.

How did you decide which photos to submit for the contest?

I think they showed my technical skill, but more than that, I like the way I took those photos. For the one that won Best Sports Feature, I was shooting a game where it was really obvious we were going to win. I saw that they were prepared to get the Frisco Bell out, so I hung around over there since I already had enough photos of the actual game. I was able to squeeze into the players’ huddle after they won to get the shot. For the grand prize-winning photo, I didn’t want to get a generic shot of the powder toss at the pep rally from

Do you plan on sticking with photography?

Yes. In the fall, I’m going to be majoring in journalism at Mizzou. I’m really looking forward to all the new opportunities. It will be exciting to learn more about the subject as a whole.

How was your senior-year experience?

It just felt nice to be back in class with my friends in person, especially for the yearbook. Not only could the entire team be together in one room, but we also got to have most of our usual events this year.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Gymnastics is a fun way I like to keep active. I was in a few other clubs, including mental health club, Circle of Friends and waffle club. I’m also involved in my youth group.

GIVING BACK Pride St. Louis PHOTOS COURTESY OF PRIDE ST. LOUIS

by stephanie wallace

P R I D E S T. L O U I S JUNE EVENTS EVERY JUNE, THE LGBTQIA+ community honors the Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, which served as the tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the 1960s. Pride Month is a national celebration of diversity and inclusion, and locally, it brings together thousands of St. Louisans for PrideFest. T&S spoke with Jordan Braxton, director of diversity, inclusion and outreach for Pride St. Louis, to learn more about this year’s event and the work the nonprofit does in the community.

Tell me about Pride St. Louis’ mission.

We have been around for more than 40 years.

Our mission is to foster understanding and tolerance for LGBTQIA+ individuals in the St. Louis community. We want to create a world where diversity is celebrated, and we work toward that through community events, leading up to the annual PrideFest—the largest Pride event in St. Louis. However, we aren’t just about putting on a festival. We are a year-round organization. We lead outreach, provide information and connect people with vital resources.

How important is community support to the organization?

We don’t have any paid staff and are completely operated by volunteers. We really do rely on community involvement. It takes between 300 and 500 people to put on PrideFest every year.

We’re lucky to have the community partners we do, including our corporate sponsors. They often send us many of the volunteers who make the event possible.

What does it mean to bring PrideFest back after a two-year hiatus?

We’re excited because it’s the first time the LGBTQIA+ community has been able to come together since 2020. The last two years have been tough, and we’re more than ready to get back into

the community. That’s why we came up with the theme Together Again. We’ll get to be together to celebrate uniqueness. The event spotlights our past and history, where we are today and how we will continue to make changes for the future. PrideFest is a chance to rejoice in one another and who we are.

It really will be like a big family who hasn’t seen each other for a long time getting back together.

What can people look forward to from the event this year?

We’re going to have fabulous entertainment.

That’s going to be a big highlight. The LGBTQIA+ community in St. Louis has so many talented members. We’ll also have a children’s area, and for the first time, there will be a special sober space.

A lot of people are in recovery, so we’ll provide a safe space and materials on sobriety. Along with our vendor area, we’ll also have booths so people can access information and resources they need.

How else does Pride St. Louis serve the community?

We do a lot of outreach on diversity and inclusion in schools and businesses around St. Louis. During the holidays, we also have an initiative to feed people in the community who may not have a family to celebrate with or access to a meal. During the pandemic, we expanded that service by providing chicken dinners to people who needed them.

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE REPERTORY THEATRE OF ST. LOUIS

FRONT&CENTER The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis by stephanie wallace GROWING UP ON LONG ISLAND, Danny Williams fell into theater naturally. Rather than treading the boards, though, he found his place in the office crunching numbers so that everything could run smoothly on stage. Now, he’s come to St. Louis to serve as managing director of The Repertory Theater of St. Louis, following the retirement of Mark Bernstein.

How did you become involved in theater?

I stumbled into the arts mostly by accident. I grew up playing sports. I enjoyed it, but I didn’t find passion in it. I did have a knack for entertainment, so my parents encouraged me to get involved in choir at school, which led to the theater. Growing up in New York, you’re also so close to Broadway and off-Broadway. I fell in love with the collaborative nature of theater.

You have all these artists working in their own crafts, but they come together to create something. It’s like teamwork on the field in sports.

Why did you decide to go into management?

I did start on the stage. I performed in college and even did some improv after I graduated, but the life of a working actor wasn’t for me. I wanted to find a way to combine my business degree with my passion. Art is the lifeblood of the theater, but it’s also a business—someone has to make sure you have the cash to pay the bills. I’ve found there isn’t that much separation between what happens on stage and what happens in the office. I might be figuring out the budget in my spreadsheet world, but I also work with all departments, go into the theater and meet with donors and board members.

What is a memorable production you’ve been involved with?

Before coming to The Rep, I was the senior director of finance and administration for The Public Theater. Its mission is to let people know that theater is for everyone and everyone’s stories will be told. The Public Theater organizes Shakespeare in the Park and also hosted the pre-Broadway debut of Fun Home, but its claim to fame recently has been as the home of Hamilton. Being a part of the process of such a landmark piece was one of the most exciting experiences of my life. It’s hard for me not to bring up Hamilton when I talk about theater. It energized new interest in the art and showed people what theater is capable of saying.

Why did you decide to come to The Rep? There were three reasons. First, I knew of Hana Sharif and the respect she has across the field of theater nationally. I was very excited about the prospect of working with her as artistic director. Second, I knew St. Louis is as vibrant an arts city as it is a sports town. Third, my husband already worked for Calares. He was remote, but his team was in Clayton. I knew he would be able to make a pretty seamless transition while I took on this new position, so I decided to take the leap.

DANNY WILLIAMS

What do you hope to accomplish in St. Louis?

My first goal is to be able to come back from the pandemic. Not being able to produce live theater hit us hard. I want to ensure the audience and my employees feel safe while making the experience feel like it did before, even if we can’t do everything the same. I also want to make The Rep even more of a presence in the St. Louis community. The focus on theater is innovating on stage, but that leaves the off-stage stuff behind the times. I’m looking forward to elevating the business operations.

Is there anything you’re still looking forward to exploring St. Louis?

I’ve been here a few months, and there is still a lot of exploring to do. I’m a huge foodie, so I’ve been leading with my stomach—I’ve had my fair share of Ted Drewes, gotten good barbecue and enjoyed restaurants like Louie, indo and Elia. As we head into summer, I’m looking forward to shows at The Muny, my first Cardinals game and exploring the botanical gardens.

I have so much stuff to do!

COVER STORY

DREAM HOME MICHAEL LAUREN DEVELOPMENT

by stephanie wallace

IMAGE: PAUL DOERNER

A HOUSE IS A PURCHASE unlike any other. Not only is it likely to be your biggest financial investment, it’s also the place where a family will spend time and grow together. From the neighborhood to the floor plan, every detail needs to be carefully considered—no one wants to compromise when it comes to their home. Since 2008, Michael Lauren Development (MLD) has helped homeowners in St. Louis create beautiful properties that blend timeless elegance with modern amenities. From land acquisition to design to construction, the development firm is with its clients every step of the way in creating their dream homes.

The success of MLD’s all-inclusive process is evident. In 14 years, the firm has completed more than 15 custom home projects, totalling around $50 million in construction. “Our clientele is primarily in Clayton, and many of our projects begin through referral,” president Michael Rechan says. “We work with people to create homes that fit the life they want, and we coordinate all of the professionals needed to make their dream design a reality. An MLD home fits like a custom suit, instead of something off the rack.” Along with customizing to clients’ individual needs, MLD builds are constructed to meet today’s exacting standards for sustainability and energy efficiency.

Currently, the development firm is working with architect Paul Doerner to create an exciting property at 140 N. Brentwood Blvd. Located in the Old Town West subdivision, Rechan notes that MLD constructed a home across the street and three others two blocks up, so the team is excited to bring another property to the neighborhood.

“The home will offer compelling architecture on one of the most beautiful corners in Clayton,” he says. “You’re only a block away from the great restaurants and shops of downtown. In terms of walkability, it’s everything you could want. An urban residential location like this offers a more active and compelling lifestyle.”

140 N. BRENTWOOD BLVD.

When completed, the house will offer four levels of living space that will each feature unique design details, such as a lookout study on the third floor. The property also will feature a private backyard with a patio and pool. While the design has been proposed, the future homeowners will still have the opportunity to customize the home to their taste and needs. “They will have input in every design selection throughout the home and can even re-work the floor plans to suit their needs if desired,” Rechan explains. “With this property, you won’t have to make any compromises with an existing style. You can tailor things to what works best for you.”

The last two years have shown all of us just how important the spaces we inhabit are, and whether its location, design or floor plan, many people have realized how much they’ve compromised with their homes. Now is the perfect time to consider a custom property, according to Rechan. “Your living environment is foundational to your overall happiness,” he says. “The design-build process allows you to put yourself in the location you want without having to make any accommodations on style and amenities.” &

1. ‘90S LOVE They say that everything old becomes new again, and the 1990s are experiencing a resurgence. This trend runs the entire spectrum of ‘90s fashion. Tap into retro hip hop style with color blocking, funky prints and oversized jeans and jerseys. Embrace your inner prep with sweater vests, varsity jackets, khaki shorts and polo shirts—a popped color is a must. Go grunge with flannel and distressed denim. Or experiment with all of the above.

2. GO GORPCORE Now is the time to embrace your love of the great outdoors—or at least, look like you are. Named after the colloquial term for trail mix (good ol’ raisins and peanuts), gorpcore is all about the styles traditionally associated with camping and hiking. The trend features water repellent and flexible fabrics, lots of layering, a mix of earth tones and bright colors and, naturally, hiking boots and sneakers.

3. PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS A lot of 2022 trends are about transitional style with an emphasis on adaptable pieces that work both professionally and as leisurewear. The penny loafer is the perfect fit for the moment. Dressy enough for the office but more comfortable than oxfords, derbies and brogues, loafers are extremely versatile and can be dressed up or down to fit your needs.

4. CUBAN COOL Also popularly known as a camp shirt, the Cuban collar is a warm weather secret weapon of menswear. While it may have a bit of a reputation as “dad wear” featuring tacky floral or hula-inspired prints, the cut is experiencing a stylish resurgence. Unlike an Oxford or other collared shirts, the Cuban collar has basically no structure and is meant to be worn with at least one button undone, making it a smart choice to fight the StL summer heat.

5. TO THE MAX Men’s fashion can get a bad rap for being plain or boring. The maximalist trend in menswear is ready to put that belief to bed. Whether it’s bright and bold colors, head-turning patterns or a combination of both, this style is all about embracing pieces that tend toward extravagance and flamboyance. While certainly not for the faint of heart, you can dabble in the trend with a few statement pieces or unconventional color combos.

MERCEDES EQS 450+ by robert w. paster AS THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY TRANSITIONS from internal combustion engines to electric motors, I’m happy to report that luxury drivers won’t be left out. Case in point, the new Mercedes EQS 450+. Basically an electric top-of-the-line S-Series, the EQS is the next generation of Mercedes’ flagship luxury sedan, and it offers all the latest automotive luxury in an environmentally friendly and beautifully styled package.

The first thing you notice about the EQS is its beautiful, aerodynamic styling. Flowing lines and curves belie its large size. Not only does it look smaller than it is, it also drives smaller than it is, offering a comfortable yet somewhat athletic ride despite its 5,600-pound heft.

Inside, the driver and passengers are enveloped in rich leather-clad mildly bolstered seats with heating, cooling and massage capabilities. Amenities include wood accents, dual automatic climate control and an electrically adjustable, thick, leather-wrapped heated steering wheel. All audio, ventilation and other functions are controlled from a large console mounted screen that has a learning curve but can be mastered with a little coaching and some trial and error. Waving your hand in front of the screen activates a digital assistant, and presumably, you can do some functions through voice command, but my kids won’t listen to me so why would a car? The dash is a configurable digital screen in front of the driver that can display a myriad of information.

A sunroof over the front seats tilts and opens while a fixed sunroof covers the rear seats. Rear seat passengers enjoy tons of personal space; it’s almost like a limousine there’s so much leg room.

The rear seats also fold to expand the already large, deep trunk, providing tons of cargo carrying capacity and easy access through the rear hatchback. With the seats up, a tonneau cover hides cargo in the trunk area. There’s even a little bit of extra hidden storage beneath the trunk floor. However, there is no trunk in the front. It’s a great SUV alternative.

Despite its size and heft, the EQS is actually a nice car to drive thanks in large part to the instantaneous torque offered by its electric motor. It has lots of pickup, good handling and responsive steering, especially at speed, which is surprisingly good and not overboosted as one would expect in a large luxury car. For cruising, it offers a nice comfortable highway ride, even on less than smooth roads. Ten degree rear axle steering assists at both low and high speeds reducing the turning radius and aiding high speed maneuvering. Brakes also work well, but you are constantly reminded of how much weight they are being asked to slow. There are three regenerative braking modes ranging from full to almost none, and they are set by paddle shifters on the steering column. Not the most intuitive placement, but just know the paddle shifters don’t shift gears (since there are no gears on this electric motor transmission). At 95% charged, the range was just over 400 miles, which is really good. It is estimated that a typical driver will save $3,000 over five years in fuel costs compared to an internal combustion engine.

Being a Mercedes, the EQS offers an array of the latest safety features including active distance assist, active steering assist, active blind-spot assist, rear cross-traffic alert, active lane-keeping assist, active parking assist with a surround view system, guard 360 vehicle protection with damage detection, an anti-theft alarm, ABS and electronic stability control. Though rear vision is slightly compromised by the rear hatch, you can use the back-up camera when reversing. All in all a very nice luxury sedan for the eco minded.

Joe Wolk, general manager at Mercedes-Benz of St. Louis, notes, “Mercedes-Benz hit it out of the park with the all electric EQS, redefining the automobile once again.” &

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Making the Most of Men’s Fitness

BY JULIA M. JOHNSON

As the months get warmer, thoughts often turn to

exercise as a way of gaining a beach body or fitting more comfortably into summer clothes. However, the right mindset for a fitness routine is one of overall health and a higher quality of life, not just appearance or convenience, says Joe Goldberg, owner and operator of the TruFusion St. Louis fitness studio.

Men tend to automatically think of weightlifting as the best way to get fit, Goldberg says, but in reality, a good deal more variety and finesse are needed. “Men like to think of working out in terms of applying force to something,” he explains. “They may believe they just need to lift heavier weights to get better results.

However, they also can get good results with lighter weights and long-term resistance. Ideally, they should be doing both.”

As men age, they tend to think about fitness in terms of how it will impact their lives right now, likely because the doctor has told them to exercise more or lose weight, Goldberg says. “However, you want to think about the longer-term physical and mental health benefits of exercise instead,” he says. “When you push your body to the limit where endorphins are being generated, you feel good, and all of a sudden you have created a workout routine that makes you feel so positive that it’s easy to stick with it. When you work in a healthy diet as well, it creates a domino effect to make your life better.”

Goldberg points out that one of the most important fitness concepts for men as they get older is to keep the body’s core strong. “That means paying attention to more than just your abdomen,” he says. “Your core wraps all the way around the body. You also need to work on building muscle around your hamstrings, glutes and quads because it starts to deteriorate otherwise.

These are the kinds of exercises that help prevent back

and knee problems that can keep you from being active later in life. They’re important if you want to keep doing the things you enjoy.”

He says men frequently have preconceived notions that they won’t enjoy or benefit from a group fitness class, but they are pleasantly surprised after joining one.

“When you ask adults whether they would take a group class, women are far more likely to say yes,” he notes.

“Men are more likely to think they just need to lift weights. But if that’s your main focus, you are missing out on the endorphins and the motivating experience of being pushed and encouraged by fellow class members.”

Once men have tried a class, they often feel increasingly drawn to it because it’s much like a team sport with lots of camaraderie, Goldberg notes.

“A 53-year-old man recently told me that he was surprised to find Pilates classes had improved his posture, reduced his shoulder discomfort when sitting, and made him feel more comfortable overall,” he says.

“He told me that no workout regimen had benefited him more than this one.”

Physical activity also can be important for balance and injury prevention in men. “Techniques like yoga really can be helpful with overall posture and balance,” Goldberg says. “The little stabilizer muscles you are building over time are very important, something you wouldn’t get just lifting weights. We see lots of people who claim they are too stiff to do yoga, but that’s like saying you are too dirty to take a bath. Adding practices like yoga can bring you a great deal more strength and ease of movement.”

Ultimately, Goldberg says, variety and open-mindedness are two of the most important ingredients in an effective fitness strategy for men. “I would say the ultimate routine is one or two yoga sessions, one or two high-intensity interval classes and one or two cardio-based classes per week,” he notes. “Any regimen should be based on people’s individual needs and goals. The idea is to build mobility, strength and flexibility as you age so you can continue to do the things that are important to you.”

&

Book Learning ▶ Goldberg recommends Younger Next Year, a book series

by Chris Crowley and Dr. Henry Lodge that includes fitness advice for both men and women. “The authors explain that if you exercise two or three times a week in a spinning or HIIT (high-intensity interval training) class, with your heart rate spiking and falling, you actually can train the brain to change the messages it gives to your body, with the goal of ‘tricking’ it out of aging,” Goldberg says. “Medical research has found that this method works until about age 72, and then the effects start to drop off.”

Exercise Tips for Men as They Age ▶ Instead of barbell presses, consider dumbbell presses. They may make more sense for aging connective tissues. ▶ Isolation exercises like bicep curls allow the body to recover quickly so you can train more often. They should be done twice a week. ▶ For every half hour you spend in the gym, spend an hour doing recovery techniques like yoga or foam rolling. ▶ Put a time or set limit on your workouts—for example, 45 minutes or 12 total sets. This will help the body recuperate more effectively so you don’t have to skip workout days.

HOUSE & GARDEN SPECIAL SECTION

HOMEWORK

T&S HOME DEAR HOMEWORK,

We have remodeled the inside of our older ranch home and are now looking for ways to update the outside. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, —IN NEED OF RANCH DRESSING

DEAR IN NEED OF RANCH DRESSING,

The trendy way to update the exterior of your home would be to paint it white and add black shutters and carriage lamps.

I, however, would suggest more subtle improvements to your home’s existing look.

First, I would like for the central portico to read as the facade’s dominant feature by painting the columns, support beam and circular vent white. Then, I would like to enhance the front door by adding full length shutters and painting the door red.

These changes add some needed pop to an understated paint scheme.

Next, we need to make the landscaping more helpful to the composition. I would remove all of the foundation plants from the portico section to allow the columns to be seen in their full length and eliminate any bush that hides the full length of the side windows. With that accomplished, I would frame the long facade with tall vertical evergreens at the corners and sprinkle in some color for accent.

These fairly modest revisions allow your home to be a better version of itself, complimenting your refreshed interior.

Hopefully these suggestions will be useful, —HOMEWORK

The rumors of my retirement are greatly exaggerated!!! In fact, I'm not only not retiring, I am thrilled to share that in addition to selling St. Louis' finest homes with the Warner Hall Group, I can now sell the finest homes in Naples Florida with John R. Wood Realty. I've had a condo in Old Naples for years and have partnered with the best in the business to help all my fellow Saint Louisans find the perfect beach getaway!
