ST. LOUIS’ 5-STAR JEWELER

W L

ith its 7,000-square-foot showroom, Michael Genovese Jewelers has one of the largest selections in the country. The family-owned business has been serving St. Louis since 1981. Owner Joe Genovese started working in the industry at age 13, taking over when his father, Michael, retired. Today, Joe carries on the vision and mission to make every customer a friend through a passion for beautiful, handcrafted jewelry and a focus on service excellence. A true custom jeweler, Genovese makes 70% of its stock in house, enabling them to control costs and pass those savings on to their customers. They also believe in supporting their employees and giving back to the community as often as possible. “We have 32 employees who we take care of as family,” Joe says. “We try to support every local charity we can, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. My father instilled this commitment in me.” The 17 store designers at Michael Genovese Jewelers know everything there is to know about engineering a piece of jewelry. “Every piece starts as an idea,” Joe says. “Anything people ask for, we can

Every piece starts as an idea. Anything people ask for, we can make.

make. People may have sentimental stones they want to use that have come from family members, and we can incorporate those, too.” Designers create drawings based on either customer ideas or their own. Then, they design a wax model using the latest computer-aided design technology, which makes the process more accurate and efficient. Once the customer approves the design, they create a wax model with a 3-D printer. Once approved, the wax model is used to create a cast in which the designers inject the molten precious metal of the client’s choice. The rough cast piece then goes through a finishing process and any stones are set in place. Completing each step in house allows for total quality control. In addition to custom pieces made specifically for individual customers, Genovese designers also create most of the jewelry that fills the showroom’s cases, including the top-selling Novia designer line. “Fifty percent are one-of-a-kind pieces that will never be made again,” says Joe. “The other 50%, we’ll make maybe once a year at most, so it’s a really unique collection you won’t see other people wearing.” Genovese also offers the best selection of classic, best-selling items like diamond studs, diamond bracelets, diamond hoops and diamond pendants. It’s Genovese’s dedication to providing highly personal customer service that makes all the difference. “When people come visit our store, they see how easy we make the process, whether they are designing an engagement ring or buying a gift,” Joe says. “We offer them a drink—they can have a beer, wine or a mimosa. We sit down with them, and they have our full attention for however long they need us.”

COVER STORY

A BETTER LIFE THOMPSON FOUNDATION FOR AUTISM

by stephanie wallace

AROUND ONE IN 44 CHILDREN in the U.S. has been diagnosed with an autism

spectrum disorder (ASD), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This means numerous families are impacted and face daily struggles. It is the mission of the Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders at the University of Missouri in Columbia to improve the lives of those affected by ASD and similar conditions through research, clinical services, training and education. The Thompson Foundation for Autism is an active partner in supporting the center’s initiatives. Founded in 2005, the center offers accessible, comprehensive care for children and adults. “Our program is unique nationally because it’s so comprehensive,” executive director Stephen Sheinkopf, Ph.D, says. “It includes multiple levels of interdisciplinary clinical care and integrated training and research programs.” The Thompson Center’s reach can be felt throughout Missouri. It not only offers care to patients from across the state, but it also provides training and workforce development with a wide impact. “We touch nearly every county in the state,” he notes. “Collaborating with clinicians and stakeholders allows us to improve the ability of communities to better help people with neurodevelopmental disabilities.” The Thompson Center’s major initiatives include its behavior analysis therapy program, which provides specialized treatment for young children, and its severe behavior clinic that works with the most challenging patients. “It’s very labor intensive, but by working with these patients, we help them and their families to be happier and more engaged with their communities,” Sheinkopf says. “For example, we offer a toileting program for individuals who have struggled to reach independence. It may seem like a small thing, but when patients are finished, they’ve reached a

major milestone that will impact them and their families for the rest of their lives.” The Thompson Center sees roughly 13,000 patient visits annually, representing 5,000 individuals. Even with that volume, there are still more than 1,000 children on its waitlist for diagnostic services, and there are more than 50 who have waited more than a year for treatment. “That’s too many children waiting too long,” Sheinkopf says. “It’s critical that we expand our capacity to meet the demand in Missouri. Nothing is more concerning than a young child waiting to receive the services they need.” This year, the center has been working to expand its specialized behavioral treatment program by both increasing physical space and recruiting new providers. In order to grow, the Thompson Center relies on the support of the Thompson Foundation. The nonprofit’s largest annual fundraiser is its AMAZE gala. This year, the event will be held Nov. 3 at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac. “The funds we receive from the gala and the foundation go directly into supporting our staff, programs and research infrastructure, and it impacts the lives of our patients in tangible ways,” Sheinkopf says. “We’re so excited to have the event in St. Louis. While we’re located in Columbia, this is a statewide problem, and it’s wonderful to work with our partners and stakeholders in St. Louis.” &

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

the metro

‘Bait and switch’ is a timeworn sales scam technique that we don’t encounter much anymore. Say, back in the day, you saw a print ad for a VCR (that’s video cassette recorder, for Gen Z and some Millennials) that featured a built-in alarm clock and coffee maker. There was no such thing, of course, but a great idea, right? Automatically makes your morning coffee, wakes you up and runs a tape of last night’s news before you even leave the bed. So, if Sunday’s paper ran an ad for the product at Famous-Worth’s and you hurried downtown to check it out, the salesperson tells you they’re sold out—but over here is a VCR that dispenses bubblegum balls and plays a song by Sonny and Cher. Not exactly what you wanted, but you need a VCR … and the rest is history. Metro dailies here, there and everywhere may not have run ads like that for decades, but online is where bait and switch is rampant

olivette

Christo, the self-described ‘irrational’ artist, created monumental public works, such as completely wrapping the Arc de Triomphe in France and the Reichstag in Germany in fabric. He might have been proud of the mailbox in Olivette that’s been wrapped entirely in duct tape, for years. This updates our piece from four years ago about this objet d’art, after a fashion, on the northside of Old Bonhomme. We took a blurry photo on a foggy April morning in 2018. Clearly, not much has changed in what we thought must have been some sort of temporary repair. At first. The owner of a metro art gallery regularly passes the mailbox on his bicycle. It always makes him smile. As this issue’s photo was being taken, a pair of walkers called out, “Instagrammable, huh?”

today. Surely, you’ve seen photos at the bottom or on the side of certain webpages—a plastic water bottle jammed between a car tire and wheel well with the question, “Why place a plastic bottle on your tire when you’re traveling alone?” Click to learn why, and you’ve entered a slideshow where 50 frames of ‘click bait’ keep you engaged while you try to find out just what the dang bottle on the tire is all about. Well, after 50 clicks claiming to help you regrow hair, lose weight, erase facial wrinkles and other snake oil variations, you never find out. We looked closely at the bottle in one photo. The label is in Russian, and snopes.com, which sniffs out dishonesty everywhere in the media, first labeled the claim as ‘false’ in 2018. Well, if nothing else, the Russians are persistent. Next up: Why should you carry a crayon in your wallet or wrap your doorknobs in aluminum foil?

Trainwreck Saloon, situated in a depression at 9243 Manchester Road in Rock Hill, is but one among dozens of businesses damaged by the deadly, record-setting torrential rains that caused flash flooding throughout the metro. This wasn’t owner George Hansford’s first water polo game, if you will. On the tail end of Hurricane Ike in September 2008, Deer Creek also overflowed its banks and spilled into the low point on the busy thoroughfare. Hansford recalls that muddy water was even deeper inside the saloon that Sunday morning than it was early on July 26. Remarkably, the restaurant was up and running five days after the recent deluge. The phones still didn’t work and much of the bar equipment was damaged, but hot food, cold bottles of beer and cans of soda were plentiful. “The community and our employees have been very supportive,” he says. That’s a bit of an understatement. Workers from two restaurants lucky to be on higher ground had come down to lend a hand. “Farotto’s definitely helped out,” Hansford says. “And O.B. Clark’s in Brentwood.” At his establishment, which just celebrated its 40th anniversary last month, Hansford’s seen fire and rain. A three-alarm blaze in February 2019, which destroyed a Woodard Cleaning & Restoration warehouse just across the narrowest part of Hansford’s parking lot, was perhaps even more nerve-racking. His vintage wooden building, which has operated as a tavern since 1890, would have gone up in an instant. Through the night, Hansford kept his mind off a potential catastrophe by making sure first responders got breakfast and stayed caffeinated. But back to water: Just two days after the disastrous flooding on the 26th, heavy rains caused more serious flooding. Homes in south city that had just begun drying out were flooded by the River Des Peres a second time. Storm sewers throughout the CWE were overwhelmed, and Left Bank Books, among other stores and restaurants, had flooded basements. A friend who lives in a high-rise on Lindell Boulevard right across from the Cathedral had to take the stairs from the 18th floor several times a day to walk the dogs because flooding had disabled the elevator motors; reportedly, the undercroft of the Cathedral took on water, as well. But the Trainwreck and neighboring Rock Hill businesses were spared. “The water only came up to street level,” Hansford says.

LAST ISSUE’S Q&A Ralston Purina formed in the 1890s—and originally had a hyphen between Ralston and Purina. What were each of those two companies’ core businesses? A company named Ralston joined with a company named Purina in the late 19th century to form Ralston-Purina. It was a good match, as they were in similar lines of business: Ralston made whole-grain breakfast cereal; Purina made feeds for pets and livestock, from cat and dog chow to horse chow. The century-long partnership ended in 2001 when the company merged with Swiss conglomerate Nestlé.

Lenny Min

westport plaza In 2020, the pandemic shut down most in-person entertainment, and Westport Playhouse was a casualty. There were doubts it would reopen. But it’s back, with none other than Da Vinci and Michelangelo: The Titans Experience, a multimedia show that runs through Aug. 28. Both Renaissance men are brought to life in a 240-seat theater—itself reborn for live theater, concerts, movies, improv groups, e-sports, even celebrations of life. A 40-foot by 10-foot video wall is central to the brainchild of one Lenny Mink. The immense LED screen could be referred to as state of the art, but mind-blowing or jaw-dropping fit even better. Mink’s wife, Amanda Salley, refers to the musician, songwriter, record label exec, producer, filmmaker and serial entrepreneur as, you guessed it, a renaissance man. We met with the new executive director of the Playhouse on a Tuesday morning as a construction worker put finishing touches on the space for its Friday reopening with the St. Louis premiere of Titans. Later that day Mink was flying to L.A. to continue discussions with Bluebell Smile, an up-and-coming alt-rock band. Meanwhile, he detailed a comedy feature film that he and business partner Dan Byington are co-producing—Bad Grandmas Rule could be released next year. As someone once said: If you want something done, give it to a busy man. Despite being in a beehive of activity, Mink was amiable, engaging, focused and unhurried. Chill, one might say. His life experience may deserve some of the credit. His family fled the Soviet Union, arriving from Belarus

in 1978, when Mink was 6. You couldn’t find a more enthusiastic booster of the StL and its culture, especially our music. St. Louisans have a collective self-esteem problem, when around the world we’re known as the birthplace of such giants as Chuck Berry and Miles Davis. “We have to take pride in that,” Mink emphasizes; it’s up to us to represent! Mink feels a great sense of privilege being both insider and outsider. When his family arrived, none spoke a word of English. Now, he has a bit of a Midwestern accent. (Yeah, it’s a thing. For me, at least. I grew up on the East Coast.) Mink’s multifaceted company is Lotown Media, with the motto, ‘Make It Till You Make It.’ That’s also his personal philosophy. Mink has confidence in the renewed success of the Playhouse with all its new bells and whistles. So, about these Titans? They’ll come to life via a one-man show performed by Mark Rodgers. Da Vinci’s elaborate sketches, inventions, and artworks, along with Michelangelo’s masterpieces, will retain their sense of scale. “But this won’t be like a TED talk,” Mink notes. Rodgers has the fire and passion that befit these extraordinary men and their essential contributions to Western culture. There’ll be humor, as well: Rodgers doesn’t ignore their rivalry. Plus, it will be the closest many of us will ever get to the ceiling Michelangelo painted in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. Models of Da Vinci inventions, fashioned from his 500-year-old drawings, will also be on hand. “We challenge you to find your own inner Da Vinci,” says Mink. Visit westportplay.com.

PATTY by patty hannum

THERE IS A 1994 FILM I am sure you’ve all seen, Four Weddings and a Funeral. It is one of those movies when you happen upon it, you stop and finish it. I doubt it won any awards, but it is sweet, kind and stars Hugh Grant who is nice on the eyes. I was thinking about that movie last weekend as I attended my nephew Tom’s wedding. Two of my brothers have died in the past six months. Two too many as far as I am concerned, but I don’t control the world—I merely dream that I do. Life though has a way of moving on even though you are still grieving. Tom married Jen, and Shelby and Ted, another nephew, welcomed a new son. So, our movie would be titled Two Funerals, A Wedding and a Baby.

AUGUST 10, 2022

While I think my nephew Tom is almost as good-looking as Hugh Grant (he pulled off velvet loafers with his tux!), his wedding was bittersweet. Not only because two of his uncles weren’t there but because his best man and best friend since first grade died earlier in the year. Life has been just a series of gut punches for all the Fitzgeralds, but somehow that song by one-hit wonder Chumbawamba keeps playing in the back of my head: “I get knocked down but I get up again. You’re never gonna keep me down.” And that’s what this weekend felt like. When the band started playing, it was time to start dancing, but my peeps weren’t there to make me look better. Both my brothers, Tim and John, danced at weddings.

They weren’t good dancers; they weren’t even average. All of us lack any sort of rhythm, but we act with the confidence of The Radio City Rockettes. Once “Shout” started, it seemed wrong not to dance. So, as the lead singer encouraged us to ‘get a little louder now,’ we did. I could see my brother Mike and his wife, Pam, dancing. Teresa and David, parents of the groom, were in the thick of the mob, and I swear on the other side, Tim and John were doing the same thing, still as goofy as ever but nonetheless throwing their hands back and kicking their heels up just like the lyrics of the song tells them to. (Oh, for those of you counting Fitzgeralds, yes, Dennis was missing. He had an excused absence!)

Over the past few months, I’ve learned a lot about grief. It hurts and it is uncomfortable. I can’t even begin to imagine how hard it must be to lose your spouse. I know how it feels to lose a parent but not in the prime of their life. All I know is that when a sibling dies, it feels like a little piece of you is missing. Strangely, I think I still see them in crowds of people, and my dreams about them are always about the nice stuff they did, not any of the typical brother/sister teasing. I just miss Tim and John. But last weekend, we were all together. Dancing, or at least attempting to, and singing along, “Say that you love me … “ I hope you see all the people you want to see. Peace my peeps.

MIXED MESSAGES GIRLS TODAY CONTINUE to be haunted and confused by

mixed messages absorbed from our culture, leading to excessive stress, pressure, anxiety and depression. These messages come from parents, the education system, social media and more. Let’s unpack what girls absorb that chips away at their mental health and sense of self. Stephen Hinshaw’s triple bind concept is a good framework for understanding some of the pressures girls face today. They are still expected to conform to stereotypical feminine archetypes, such as being pretty, nice, empathetic, obedient, helpful and great at relationships. But now, they also are expected to embody what are traditionally thought of as masculine traits like being assertive, aggressive, competitive, ambitious and driven. And if that’s not enough pressure, there is a third leg of the triple bind that tells girls they need to grow up and conform to a narrow, unrealistic set of standards: continue to look pretty, hot, thin and sexy; be a perfect wife and mother with perfect children; climb to the top of their career ladder; and earn a ton of money. And they must achieve all of this while making it look effortless—whew! That is a lot of pressure. In addition, girls are conditioned to be “good girls.” What does this mean? They are expected to be perfect, nice, pretty, selfless, obedient, graceful, feminine, happy, popular and passive—all of which were adjectives on a list made by a group of 20 middle school girls at one of my recent retreats. Finally, girls are maneuvering a minefield of mixed messages, such as be nice and likeable but also competitive and ambitious; be smart and assertive but only to an extent; be liked and popular but also authentic; be powerful but not aggressive; take care of yourself but put others’ needs first; and be sexy but not sexual. So, girls are told constantly they can be whatever they want, but you can’t really be yourself because you must conform to society’s narrow, unrealistic standards. The result of all these pressures and mixed messages is that girls feel confused, stressed and pressured to meet these expectations—causing much of their anxiety and stress. The impossible standards leave girls feeling like they are stuck, have failed and can never be good enough. I also find that girls end up ignoring their intuition and urges. They give up on themselves and their needs, desires and dreams to conform, be accepted and be loved. Help your daughter become aware of these pressures and expectations and help her to voice what it means for her. They must also learn to look inward for their sense of themselves and to define success and happiness on their own terms. & TIM JORDAN, M.D., IS A BEHAVIORAL PEDIATRICIAN WHO WORKS WITH GIRLS IN GRADE SCHOOL THROUGH COLLEGE.

STUDENT STANDOUTS by stephanie wallace

AVA BERUTTI OF WESTMINSTER CHRISTIAN ACADEMY AVA BERUTTI HAS A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO. The recent Westminster Christian Academy graduate will be heading off to Missouri Baptist University to study psychology and theater. She wrapped up her senior year by playing the lead role in Cinderella—a performance that brought her acclaim. She won Outstanding Actress in a Lead Role at the St. Louis High School Theatre Awards, an accolade that put her in contention for The National High School Musical Theatre Awards, AKA The Jimmys. When did you start performing? The first production I remember being a part of was playing the titular role in Peter Pan when I was in preschool. I fell in love with being able to tell a story and how confident I could be on stage. I really got into theater because of my mom who was involved with The Muny. I loved the backstage atmosphere. Everyone was so excited, putting on wigs and beautiful costumes, and the sets at The Muny are so gorgeous. From when I was little, I took every opportunity I could to perform.

How did it feel to have your Cinderella performance recognized? It’s been an unbelievable experience. When I was little, I never thought something like this could happen. I received so much support and so many opportunities. It’s been amazing to share with my family, who have watched me grow as a performer. I don’t have the words to describe what it means.

What is your favorite part of performing? Making the audience feel something. In eighth grade, I played Marian in The Music Man. After one show, some sweet people came up to me and told me I made them cry. It’s such a cool experience to make an audience feel what the characters are feeling. That’s when it hit me how much I love this.

Are you excited to start university in the fall? I’ve always been such a people person, and this has been such a social time. I’ve met so many amazing people. A lot of the theater department at MoBap have reached out to congratulate me and ask about going to The Jimmys. I haven’t stepped foot on campus, but I already feel welcomed. I’m also looking forward to working with the department heads, Dr. Jordan Cox and his wife, Kasey. They both came to see Cinderella, which was super encouraging to me.

Do you have a most memorable role? Playing Cinderella at Westminster brought me so many amazing opportunities. And who didn’t want to be a princess growing up? I also have a strong connection to Marian. Along with the eighth grade performance, I got to reprise the role in tenth grade. There’s something about the character that is like a warm hug. I would take any opportunity to play her again.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Theater doesn’t always leave you much time for you to do your own things. I like songwriting, reading and drawing—really anything where I can be intune with the creative side of me. I love spending time with my family. I’ve never worked on a production during the summer because I wanted to use that time to be with them. Life is short, and if I continue to pursue performing, I may not have as much time with them.

COVER STORY

ACCESS & EQUITY PARAQUAD

by stephanie wallace WHETHER IT’S THE OPTION TO HIT THE TREADMILL AT THE GYM, work at the job of your choice or rent your first apartment, it can be easy to take independence for granted. However, many people in our community have to deal with the challenges of accessibility due to disability. Paraquad’s mission is to create a more integrated society that is free of barriers and discrimination. For more than 50 years, the nonprofit has empowered people with disabilities, offering them more choice and greater opportunities for independence. “We make independence accessible,” explains Aimee Wehmeier, the nonprofit’s president. It’s a mission that is not possible without support. “In order to create equity and opportunity, it takes everyone,” she notes. “The community needs to come together in a variety of ways—whether that’s building personal relationships or providing more opportunities in areas like employment. One of Paraquad’s strengths is that many of our staff and board members are people with disabilities, so we can use our experiences to help others facing similar challenges build their lives how they choose.” From independent living and employment to assistive devices and personal care attendants, the organization works with people with disabilities to help them achieve personal goals, access resources and take advantage of new opportunities. “We offer a hub of services and work with all ages and types of disability,” Wehmeier says. “We help thousands of people annually—whether they’re looking for support for themselves or seeking assistance with an aging parent.” One of Paraquad’s major initiatives is the Stephen A. Orthwein Center. The fully accessible fitness center provides people with disabilities and older adults facing mobility challenges with the resources to achieve a variety of cardiovascular, strength and mobility goals. In addition to open individual workouts and group classes, the center offers one-on-one training with adaptive exercise specialists, online options for people who cannot attend in person, and state-of-the-art robotic and functional electrical stimulation equipment. The center was made possible through the support of the Orthwein family and was named in honor of Stephen A. Orthwein, who incurred a spinal cord injury during a polo game. “The intention was to create a local resource for people with new or existing disabilities,” Wehmeier says. “There is so much incredible technology that can make exercise accessible to everyone, and people are enjoying using the center and making great progress with the goals they’ve set for themselves. It’s a valuable resource for the community.” The Orthwein family will be honored with the Partner for Independence award at Paraquad’s Shine the Light gala. The event is Sept. 23 at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis, and Wehmeier says it is expected to be the nonprofit’s biggest fundraiser yet. “It’s a time to share our story and celebrate together,” she notes. “It’s also a great way to recognize the Orthwein family and honor the legacy of Stephen. We’re so grateful for the support we receive. It makes our mission of equity and independence possible. Everyone wants to be part of a community, and together, we’re providing that opportunity to people with disabilities.” & FU ND RA IS ER

Why is This Nonprofit Important to You? We are surrounded by loving and caring dog and cat owners, residing in and around the St. Louis area, who strongly support the diligent efforts and unprecedented results provided by the team at Carol House Quick Fix Pet Clinic. The clinic has raised a consciousness of the importance of spaying and neutering domestic pets. This act of human compassion has made drastic improvements in reducing the number of animals that are entering shelters, roaming the streets and being euthanized simply because they do not have a loving home. At Carol House Quick Fix Pet Clinic, it’s a focus on quality of life for our furry friends!

What will the Event Accomplish for the Organization?

We invite pet lovers and corporations, who embrace a better life for all cats and dogs, to make a reservation and join us at our gala to celebrate more than 100,000 surgeries performed in 10 years. Remarkable! We will

raise awareness, have fun and accept funds to continue our current mission and to open the doors at our new clinic in Rolla, Missouri. Together, with other pet owners, we can all look into the eyes of our own pets and assure them Carol House Quick Fix Pet Clinic is taking care of their fellow fur friends. We will honor St. Louis’ own Brook Dubman for his heartfelt and sincere love for all living animals. Celebrate with us! Tickets sell out fast. No joke!

GIVING BACK Dream Builders 4 Equity by stephanie wallace

PHOTOS COURTESY OF DREAM BUILDERS 4 EQUITY

FOR SIX YEARS, Dream Builders 4 Equity has been working toward a better future for both local young people and north St. Louis. The nonprofit employs historically underserved youth and local contractors to do large scale community-led development projects. Currently, it’s in the middle of a 50-house renovation project in the Hyde Park neighborhood. T&S spoke with CEO and president Michael Woods to learn more about the organization and its impact.

Where did the idea for Dream Builders 4 Equity come from? It started with myself and my friend Neal Richardson’s desire to give young people all the information they need to succeed. We wanted to share everything we had learned along the way, so they could have a head start. I’m a published author and entrepreneur, and Neal works in corporate community development. We both had experience in real estate, so we thought we could empower youth and get them involved in developing the neighborhoods they live in. How do you engage underserved youth? We are really trying to tackle the epidemic of vacant homes in north St. Louis. We hire youth between the ages of 16 and 25 to partner with minority contractors to rehab houses. We pay $15 an hour, and participants also receive equity from the home sales in the form of scholarships. We have them keep a journal about their experience, which we then help them turn into a published book they have 100% ownership of. We also run an eight-week summer academy that covers a variety of topics, such as personal financial literacy, real estate ownership and book publishing. People often assume we just teach kids about construction, but it’s really about them taking ownership—whether it’s investment in the community or taking control of their own story. We have some participants who choose to seek employment as a contractor, but others are pursuing advanced degrees. We help them figure

out how to take their next steps. That’s why we’re called Dream Builders—it’s all about letting them explore and build up to whatever dream they want to pursue. What is Dream Builders 4 Equity’s four-pillar model? Along with serving youth, we also work to support residents, business and real estate. To serve current residents, we also provide free renovations to homeowners in the neighborhood, and we provide free landscaping during the summer. These are opportunities to support community members and make sure they feel like they are a part of the development. For businesses, we work with local, minority contractors to keep our dollars in the community. Since this is a multi-year development, we’re also providing some stability—they know they have a project to work on for the next five years. Finally, we want to bring the north St. Louis real estate market back to its original glory. New builds are often cheaper and have their merits, but by choosing to rehab these houses, we’re celebrating the historic value of the neighborhood. We want to take nuisance properties and turn them into amazing homes. You recently were donated a new building by Midwest Bank. It’s a beautiful historic building. While we own the building, Midwest Bank is still renting space from us, so they are still serving the neighborhood and are invested in the community. It’s a great

partnership, and now, we can say we have a home in Hyde Park. It shows that we aren’t going anywhere, that we plan to continue supporting the neighborhood. Our goal is to bring in other mission-based organizations so that the building can be a hub for community resources. In the long-run, we also want to build dormitories so our participants and contractors have a place to stay while working in the neighborhood. How do you want the organization to grow in the future? Going forward, we want to continue to be a part of the transformation of the Hyde Park neighborhood. It’s a beautiful community full of amazing people.

COVER STORY

CARE FOR KIDS GLENNON GALLOP

by stephanie wallace ALL CHILDREN NEED REGULAR VISITS to ensure they grow up happy and

healthy, but not all families have medical insurance or the other resources necessary to make that possible. The Danis Pediatric Center at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital provides outpatient care and other support to children, regardless of their families’ ability to pay. To help ensure it never has to turn away a child, the SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation raises funds for the center through Glennon Gallop, its annual polo match and party. This year’s event will bring guests fieldside Sept. 24 at August Busch Polo Club in Defiance. Along with watching an exciting polo match, participants can choose from two experiences. VIP guests gain access to a climate-controlled tent where they can enjoy fine wine, a luncheon and auction, and Field-Side Party guests can choose to tailgate or watch from the bleachers. Both VIP and Field-Side options include a divot stomp and champagne toast on the field. “It’s not every day that you get to watch a polo match, and purchasing a ticket directly supports Danis Pediatric Center,” says Dr. Heidi Sallee, the center’s medical director. The funds raised by Glennon Gallop help Danis Pediatric Center provide important resources to patients and their families. More than 85% of patients live below the poverty line, and families receive a questionnaire at well child checkups to determine if they are dealing with concerns like food insecurity, parental depression and more. “The foundation’s support allows us to have family care navigators who meet with families and connect them to resources,” Sallee explains. “We also are able to provide important items like diapers, frozen meals and pack-and-plays for families who need safe sleep environments for babies.” Danis Pediatric Center’s reach extends into the community beyond Cardinal

GLENNON GALLOP RAISES FUNDS FOR DANIS PEDIATRIC CENTER.

Glennon Children’s Hospital. The clinic works with medical students and residents to help them learn about pediatric primary care medicine and to teach them about working with traditionally underserved patients. “Education is crucial to making sure that we are sending excellent physicians out into the community,” Sallee says. “Many of our residents go on to practice in St. Louis. We help lay a foundation of not only medical expertise, but also the importance of understanding where patients are coming from and going the extra mile to help them. It’s important work.” Along with its Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital location, Danis Pediatric Center also provides care at its clinic in Midtown. The two locations handle around 22,000 to 24,000 patient visits annually, and the demand continues to grow. In order to better serve the community, the center is currently in the process of transitioning to a new, larger facility in Midtown. Growth and expansion like this are possible thanks to the Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation and fundraisers like Glennon Gallop. “The support from Glennon Gallop really does make a tangible difference in kid’s lives,” Sallee notes. “It’s something I see everyday working as a pediatrician. We’re very appreciative to have the community rally around Danis Pediatric Center and our patients.” &

WESTCHESTER ONION SOUP, $10:

WESTCHESTER

Westchester’s take on a French onion soup, this is a solid option for a starter. The broth is rich and flavorful, and it works wonderfully with the sourdough croutons and gruyere cheese that tops it. A traditional take, but one that hardly needs an update.

first impression »

Chef Matthew Glickert made his name working for Bill Caldwell and then serving up barbecue at Sugarfire Smoke House for six years. At the beginning of this year, he branched out on his own, partnering with Bryan Herr of Naked Vine to open Westchester. The upscale eatery in Chesterfield is focused on a shifting menu of seasonal, locally sourced fare.

DUCK FAT TRUFFLE FRIES, $13: wash it down:

Along with an impressive wine list and beer selection, Westchester has a menu of signature and classic cocktails. For those who don’t wish to imbibe, the restaurant also offers mocktail options. The Isbell ($8) includes house-made kombucha, tonic syrup, club soda, lemon spray and Luxardo cherry. It was a refreshing option that even those who aren’t the biggest fans of kombucha can enjoy.

Who can resist a good french fry? And these are good fries—crisp and golden on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. Truffle salt offers unami richness that’s well balanced by shaved Parmigiano Reggiano. The dish is served with a trio of sauces: peppercorn aioli, spicy ketchup and a house special sauce. However, our dining party agreed that the fries really don’t need them.

“CHORIZO” SPICED GRILLED MUSHROOM FETTUCCINE, $32:

A very hearty vegetarian option, it features local mushrooms, house-made noodles, baby kale, spinach and fresh mozzarella in a smoked tomato bechamel sauce. The chorizo spice doesn’t offer much heat, but it is well balanced with the rest of the flavors, making a warm and comforting dish.

PAN ROASTED HALIBUT, $46:

This is an excellent fish dish. Paired with summer succotash, pork belly, corn puree and tomato relish, the halibut was perfectly cooked. The flavors are bright and fresh. It may seem like a lot is going on with this dish, but it all works together wonderfully.

FIVE LAYER CHOCOLATE CAKE, $9:

SESAM E CRU GRILL S ED SA TED LMON Thai-c hili gl aze, s white teame ric d veget e, soy glaz e able s tir fry d

Like any chocolate cake worth its weight, this is a rich dessert. It’s served with chocolate and caramel sauces, whipped cream and fresh berries, which add some needed brightness to a very decadent dish.

overall »

Unassumingly tucked away in a strip mall, entering Westchester is almost like stepping into another time and place. With dark wooden walls, moody lighting and a beautiful bar as a centerpiece, its atmosphere feels more like a big city bar than a restaurant in the burbs. The food is definitely worth a trip to Chesterfield, and since the menu changes regularly, it’s best to plan for a return visit. F6 |

INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT: JENNY KEENAN Jenny Keenan, a Charleston-based interior designer, founded her own firm in 2004 and has been making waves on the coast ever since. She gives us a glimpse into her experiences, passions, challenges and insights as a professional in the industry. We love a good designer origin story! How did you get into interior design? My father used to drag me to all of his favorite antique and junk store spots. He would educate me on fine antiques, or we would go searching for treasure. It was so fun to see him light up when he learned the history of a piece or where something came from; he thought every piece should have a story. He is so good with his hands and could build or fix anything. I was submersed in his creative, talented life from the beginning, and I certainly think that shaped the direction for my future.

PHOTO: @JENNYKEENANDESIGN

When did your love of design begin? Technically, it started when I was very young, but I started wanting to take design classes while in college working on a biology degree. I was planning to go to medical school, but I was more interested in art classes than chemistry. After finishing with my bachelors of science, I took some time off, then went back to design school which led to this path. How would you describe your overall style? I like to think our style is timelessly modern and collected. How does living in Charleston influence your designs? Charleston has such a rich culture—just driving around the city can give you so much inspiration. I think one thing that I love about Charleston is all of its colors: colorful people, colorful architecture and a colorful lifestyle.

PHOTO: @JENNYKEENANDESIGN

You’re known for using a lot of original pieces in your designs. What is your favorite style of artwork? This is a loaded question because I am drawn to so many different styles. I love fine art photography and have always liked mixed media and collage. We probably use photography and contemporary painting most in our projects. We do a lot of abstract and figurative pieces, but I like more literal, stylistic modern pieces, too. That is part of the fun of the art world, there is just so much variety in the different styles and mediums. What’s your approach to helping clients choose art pieces for their homes? I think first you have to learn what style your client seems to be drawn to. We have clients who really want investment pieces, and we work with art consultants sometimes in these situations. Then we have people who like more traditional styles and others who just love colorful abstracts. We can nail different styles and love working on projects that are different. We present pieces to our clients, and you can tell when they instantly are drawn to a piece or a certain artist. This selection process of the design is the icing on the cake, makes the house feel like a home and can be a really fun process to go through with your client. What tips would you like to share for choosing the perfect artwork for a home? Artwork is so personal and makes the whole project pop. It can take a long time to find the perfect pieces, but the right piece is always worth the wait. I don’t think you should force a piece just to fill up a wall. I also believe if you find a piece of art while traveling you should buy it! Special pieces that you find on your travels will always make you reflect on that time in your life and bring back lovely memories. I prefer a layered, collected look so much more than just buying to get things decorated. It might take a little more time, but the finished product will have meaning! Selecting art is a part of the project that I really enjoy working through closely with our clients.

HOMEWORK

T&S HOME DEAR HOMEWORK,

I recently downsized to a 1950s house on a lovely lane in Ladue, but right now, it looks like a trailer from the street. The house is well built, and I have been working on the interior, but the exterior needs help. The house disappears behind the overgrown shrubbery, and the facade lacks interest. I plan to replace the roof and wonder what else I might do. Any advice would be terrific. Thank You,

—WAITING FOR THE BIG REVEAL

DEAR WAITING FOR THE BIG REVEAL,

Luckily, I’ve been able to get an understanding of what is going on behind all that greenery. There is a lot to work with. The main reason the present design looks a little like a trailer is that it has very little interest along its long facade. I show raising the roof above the entry and living room to allow that part of the composition to be dominant. A new, low garden wall helps underscore this and tie the composition together. Smaller details such as window mullions, shutters, a red front door and multi-colored shingles add supporting details. I kept the original colors. Trimming up the lower limbs of the big shade tree and keeping the rest of the foundation planting very low and colorful allows every bit of the shortish elevation to be seen. Not only can you now actually see the home, but what is revealed is actually a darned good looking house. Thanks for the challenge, —HOMEWORK

PICTURE THIS… PERFORMANCE IS EVERYTHING! by lauren rechan

MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE I SPILL A LOT OF THINGS, but I am a huge fan of the performance movement in interior design. Once a concept limited to creating items that could last in the great outdoors, performance items are now being crafted for the indoors to withstand kids, pets and messy adults. It is now hard to tell the performance fabrics from cotton or linen, and other items like rugs and wallpaper look and feel just like their high-end counterparts.

This new line of performance fabrics by Alex Conroy Textiles features beautiful designs on extra durable fabric.

This indestructible rug has the look and feel of a silk one.

Ever have your expensive drapes fade with long term exposure to the sun? That won’t happen with the new breed of performance fabrics.

With this melamine material, even your everyday dinnerware sets can tolerate most anything.

Even velvets and linens have been expertly replicated into made-to-last fabrics. Even sheets are getting into the performance game, claiming to be stain and wrinkle resistant. I am certain performance duvet covers and shams will be rolling out en masse soon.

The advent of these comfortable, stain proof and waterproof materials has led to the ability to have fully upholstered furniture on the patio.

One of my favorite discoveries is that sisal (notorious for being hard to clean) is now made in a performance version that looks and feels like the real thing.

This line of throw pillows from RH shows that the new perennial fabrics have texture, softness and depth just like their traditional counterparts.

Luxury wallpaper is being manufactured on vinyl for long-lasting resilience.

It is almost impossible to tell if some melamine bowls and serving platters are ceramic or plastic without picking them up!

A living space designed with all perennial fabrics for a growing family looks fantastic.
