COVER STORY

STL SUPPORT ASSISTANCE LEAGUE OF ST. LOUIS

PHOTO COURTESY OF ASSISTANCE LEAGUE OF ST. LOUIS

by stephanie wallace IN THE LAST YEAR, the Assistance League of St. Louis and its members logged nearly 67,000 volunteer hours, serving more than 31,000 St. Louisans. Those numbers represent a strong commitment to transforming lives. For almost 40 years, the nonprofit has used its programs to make a tangible impact on the region. One of the largest chapters in the national Assistance League organization, it is dedicated to uplifting the St. Louis community. “We are a volunteer-driven organization,” president Pam Bogosian notes.

“Our more than 400 members are dedicated to helping students and families be the best they can be.”

The Assistance League has an extensive list of services. Operation School Bell provides school uniforms for kids as well as maintaining in-school closets that provide students with year-round access to items like coats, underwear, socks, hats, gloves and toiletries.

Another key component of the nonprofit’s services is literacy. The Books From Friends program provides age-appropriate books to thousands of children each year. “We’re launching a new pilot that is focused on grades pre-K through three,” Bogosian says.

“The goal is to help build home libraries and inspire a love of reading. Throughout the school year, kids will receive around 20 books at their reading level. We’re very excited about this initiative.”

Project ROSE supports women in crisis, providing first night kits for women and children entering shelters following domestic abuse. In partnership with St. Louis Community College, the Assistance League also offers scholarships, with 51 students receiving financial aid in 2026. Working with multiple social workers and other agencies, the nonprofit operates an outreach program to provide families in crisis with necessities, such as beds, kitchen supplies and other household items. “We work with different partners to ensure that families get what they need most,” Bogosian explains.

“With all of our programs, we listen to the community and adapt. We don’t offer a blanket approach.”

The Assistance League is operated entirely by volunteers, and it’s evident the league’s members are dedicated. Bogosian herself is serving her second term as president of the organization, having gotten involved when she retired from teaching in 2012. “Our members have a lot of fun, but we work really hard,” she notes. As well as making the Assistance League’s programming possible and working behind the scenes, volunteers also staff the nonprofit’s upscale resale shop in Creve Coeur, Fantastic Finds. The store offers a unique selection of clothing, jewelry, accessories, home decor and more.

Fantastic Finds is one of the Assistance League’s biggest fundraisers. The nonprofit’s programming is also possible thanks in part to its Authors Brunch in the spring and its largest event, the fall gala. This year, the Casino Royale Gala is Oct. 24 at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Chesterfield. The event’s theme will offer guests the chance to try their hand at casino games while also enjoying an evening emceed by Leah Hill and a luxury auction helmed by Dan Buck. “The gala is very important to ensure we can continue to expand our programs to reach more people,” Bogosian says.

“Sometimes, you just need a little assistance—it can make a big difference in changing someone’s life.” &

TOWN TALK

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

the stl

There are now two illuminated Anheuser-Busch eagle signs in the metro, both in the city: 1. The long-standing iconic eagle sign near downtown along I-64, which Anheuser-Busch restored and relit in 2024. Upon spying those neon wings a-flapping, westbound drivers often feel a little burst of civic pride, like they’re returning home, regardless of where they’ve been or for how long. Maybe it’s just me, but I get a little warm and tingly, even if I’ve only met someone at Bandana’s in Collinsville, Illinois, for lunch. It’s a rectangular landmark that reminds you of your whereabouts as much as the Gateway Arch or big, honkin’ AMOCO sign at Clayton and McCausland.

2. The newly relocated and restored animated “A & Eagle” sign installed atop the brewery campus along I-55, which was lit on Aug. 31. It was moved from the former Newark, New Jersey, brewery. And it’s round. Maybe my StL ‘patriotism’ is misplaced, since A-B was bought by Belgian conglomerate

Feel free to bring your little reader to a fun and free festival featuring the Bubble Bus, Llama Llama Story Time, Ms. Libby’s Music Party, free books, free shaved ice and more. (We’re pretty sure we mentioned that it’s free.) The Little Readers Festival is recommended for families with children ages 0-5. It’s from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sept. 26 at our county library’s Florissant Valley branch. The oldest branch in the county library district, it opened in 1965, about a year after the Florissant Public Library joined the district. The branch underwent extensive renovations in 2016 as part of the Your Library Renewed campaign. The building has a Discovery Zone, an entire floor dedicated to children, with fun, interactive learning features. From 12:15 to 12:45 p.m., you can meet Fredbird and Louie from the Cardinals and Blues. Activities and giveaways at the festival will be sponsored by organizations including: AMERICAN RED CROSS FLORISSANT VALLEY FIRE PROTECTION KONA ICE THE MAGIC HOUSE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN MISSOURI HISTORY MUSEUM

InBev in 2008, for $52 billion, give or take a whole bunch of endangered pennies. That’s about as bad as when Albert Pujols abandoned the Redbirds for some MLB team on the Left Coast, but that’s just the opinion of one fair-weather fan. He did come back, after all. And for what it’s worth, the wingspans of both signs are approximately 33 feet.

When she passed away in Nashville last month, Dolly Parton, 80, left a hole in the hearts of millions. It’s been hard for some to accept that she really is gone. Though many remember her most for her music, film appearances and larger-than-life personality, perhaps more important to her legacy is her philanthropy. She gave of herself in important and effective ways, from donating $1 million toward COVID-19 vaccine research to her Imagination Library, which every month mails an age-appropriate book to kids from birth to age 5. Inspired in part by her own father’s inability to read and write, the program has grown from a local effort in Tennessee to an international literacy initiative operating in multiple countries. That spirit continues Oct. 27 at 7:30 p.m., when a sparkly tribute show rolls into The Factory in the Valley: $1 of each ticket sold will go to the Imagination Library. Starring Dolly doppelganger Kelly O’Brien, “The Dolly Show” pays tribute to the Queen of Country with all the rhinestones, energy, humor and crack musicianship one might expect from a show fronted by the icon herself. O’Brien has been given a blessing by the Parton family to carry Dolly’s story forward. That is, we can expect The Factory to go all Dollywood on us! And you don’t even have to get all flashy yourself, like donning a beautifully garish Nudie suit and Stetson hat. Simply visit factorystl.com for tickets or more info.

LAST ISSUE’S Q&A What major attraction at Six Flags made its debut 50 years ago, in 1976?

In 1976, the Screamin’ Eagle made its first rumbling, rattling, click-clacking run at Six Flags. That’s right, the hair-raising thrill ride, a vintage wooden rollercoaster, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

ter

st. louis What does a movie taste like? Well, probably like hot buttered popcorn, dentistry-threatening Milk Duds or Jujubes, Diet Coke and nachos, if you’re committed to the whole summer blockbuster at the multiplex kind of date. But if you really want to blow someone away with your exquisite palate in cuisine and celluloid, book the full Movies for Foodies experience with Tenacious Eats and well-seasoned executive chef Liz Schuster. Schuster went out on her own 13 years ago after an in-house career that included designing and preparing menus at the Scottish Arms and Chase Park Plaza. Her next gig to enjoy, from pre-show mingling with popcorn to a full film and five-course meal, is Sept. 26 at Sister Cities Cajun, 3550 S. Broadway in St. Louis. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with Death Becomes Her unspooling at 7:30. A surrealist black comedy, the 1992 Robert Zemeckis film stars Meryl Streep, Bruce Willis, Goldie Hawn and Isabella Rossellini. Considered a cult classic, The plot follows “two bitter rivals whose quest for beauty and revenge takes a bizarre turn when they both ingest a magical potion granting eternal youth ...” Complications and hilarity ensue as the principals face unsuspected eternal-life challenges. Now, Schuster and her team won’t suggest the movie or menu will make you feel any younger, but you should leave well satisfied.

The courses all have titles somewhat related to the film, with a healthy dollop of imagination and richly seasoned with surprises.

Just virtually sample a few courses and/or libations: “Forever Young and Eternally Fat” is a Bloody Mary with loaded skewers of

Italian Sammie, vodka black pepper bacon skewer, mini mozzarella and marinated tomato skewer. “I Have a Whole in My Stomach” is Pinwheel Porchetta, roasted red pepper ajvar (a Balkan spread), basil pesto, pecorino cheese, brown butter polenta cake and twisted vegetable pasta in sauce vierge. “The Secret of Eternal Life … Blah, Blah, Blah” is a Mayan flourless, dark chocolate cake, prickly pear and açaí reduction and black pearl basil leaf. Perhaps an NDA could prevent us from divulging which particular potion promises eternal youth, but journalistic ethics insist we keep it to ourselves. At this point, mouth-watering is permissible; however, we cannot provide further menu or movie spoilers. But take Schuster at her word, “It’s out there—maybe a little weird.” And costumes are welcomed.

Except for the menu, it’s all make-believe. “We want the food to be elevated, visceral,” she says, noting that she welcomes chances to collaborate, not the least with her husband, Steve, pastry chef par excellence. “The menus have fine dining elements, but they’re fun.”

Schuster has orchestrated The Blues Brothers movie, twice, in Chicago. Each time, the chef and her team were on “a mission from God.” Sometimes dialogue suggests a main course, to wit: when King Arthur and his minions reach a castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a silly French knight taunts them from the parapet: “Your mother was a hamster, and your father smells of elderberry!” No hamsters were harmed for the recipe, which was actually rabbit with an elderberry reduction. Culinary artistry, indeed. If your stomach is rumbling, venture out to stltenaciouseats.com.

WE WANT THE FOOD TO BE ELEVATED, VISCERAL, ... THE MENUS HAVE FINE DINING ELEMENTS, BUT THEY’RE FUN.

Now, that work has taken root as Maryland Heights is implementing changes based on students’ research.

and each other. Kids will take on the responsibility for their safety when they are actually responsible for their safety, rather than relying on the adult guardians hovering over them. And when things go wrong, even if they get hurt, they can usually handle it without the need to call in an adult.

A healthy human childhood with a lot of autonomy and unsupervised play in the real world sets children’s brains to operate mostly in what author Jonathon Haidt calls “discover mode,” and these experiences allow them to develop the ability to handle the challenges and risks of daily life. We need to keep them as safe as necessary, not as safe as possible.

Many of my generation’s best times during childhood were spent in this manner: having freedom, opportunities to be self-responsible, time out in the real world making decisions and taking full responsibility for the consequences of these choices—both good and bad.

It’s high time we allow today’s children to experience unstructured play out in the real world, especially outdoors in nature. That is the best place for them to learn critical life lessons like collaboration, social skills, problem-solving, self-responsibility, taking responsibility for their safety and using their imaginations to handle boredom and create their own fun. Sandbox, anyone?

PARENT TRAP

MY GENERATION LEARNED LESSONS by having lots of free time playing outdoors without adult supervision.

Unfortunately, free play began to decline in the 1980s and accelerated in the 1990s in large part due to parents’ fears about kidnappers and sex offenders; the term “stranger danger” first appeared in our lexicon in the early 1980s. In addition, due to a 1983 report entitled, A Nation At Risk, we began to believe that our children were falling behind other countries academically.

As a result, recess began to shrink or be cut out entirely, homework increased and got pushed down to younger grades, and the school year lengthened. The money-making youth sports industry blossomed with the result of taking kids off the streets and into adult supervised travel sports teams. We lost good old fashioned free play in the outdoors.

What kids need is self-directed play where they can do activities they freely choose for their own sake versus to win applause or trophies. When parents, teachers and coaches get involved in children’s play, it becomes less free, less playful, less beneficial and less fun. Adults have a tough time stopping themselves from directing, protecting and taking over. Kids need the opportunity to handle problems and conflicts without calling in adults to fix or rescue.

Children also need to play with some degree of physical risk because it teaches them how to look after themselves

SAVE BIG, GIVE BIG the Devoted Campaign,” she says. “SSM Health Cardinal Glennon has been a vital part of pediatric care in St. Louis for 70 years, and seeing the new hospital come to fruition is a beautiful testament to the commitment of providing exceptional health care to all children.”

For 2026, the Glennon Card’s co-presenting sponsors are Dana and Tim Bacich. Dana became involved with the Glennon Guild in 2020. She saw it as an amazing opportunity to donate her time to a worthy cause. She’s excited to be able to give back to the hospital and uplift its patients. “The Glennon Guild has always impressed me with its enthusiasm for fundraising and finding ways to help these children and families during difficult times,” she notes. “Sponsoring the Glennon Card is a contribution to the guild’s initiative for the year, helping fund the new SSM Health Cardinal Glennon.”

This year’s Glennon Card shopping period is Oct. 16 to 25. Digital cards can be purchased online at glennoncard.org.

On Oct. 12, there will be a free early shopping opportunity through the Glennon Card Shoppes Boutique. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., people can visit Hilton St. Louis Frontenac to shop from more than 25 vendors who will honor the 20% Glennon Card discount. “By shopping with Glennon Card, you are supporting both the hospital and all of the amazing local businesses who generously offer a discount during the shopping days,” Bacich says. “Grab your friends and your Glennon Cards and go shop!” &

Is it better to give or receive? Well, St. Louisans don’t have to worry about the answer to that philosophical quandary thanks to the Glennon Card. Every fall, the program gives the community the opportunity to shop local, support kids in need and save money. By purchasing a $70 card, you unlock a 20% discount at more than 340 local shops, restaurants and other service providers.

All proceeds from card sales directly support the young patients and families at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital.

The Glennon Card initiative is co-led by SSM Health Cardinal Glennon and the Glennon Guild, a women’s auxiliary with more than 100 members. One of the program’s presenting sponsors is the Soucy family. Susan Soucy has been a member of the Glennon Guild since 2005, and her family’s connection to the children’s hospital goes even deeper. “In 1988, my husband, Scott, and I spent six weeks at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon with our newborn daughter,” she notes. “We are so grateful for the care she received, and the hospital will always have a special place in our hearts.”

Soucy was president of the Glennon Guild when the idea for Glennon Card was developed. She’s proud to see how the program has grown since it launched in 2011 and has continued to support SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. “With the construction of the new hospital, this year seemed like the perfect opportunity to sponsor the Glennon Card and

ANIMAL ADVOCATES HUMANE SOCIETY OF MISSOURI

by stephanie wallace WHEN IT WAS FOUNDED IN 1870, the Humane Society

at our headquarters is always in need of support due to the large number of animals we receive every year,” Warnick notes. Along with care for animals, the Humane Society offers educational opportunities in partnership with local schools. The goal is to offer at-risk children the chance to learn about kindness and empathy for all living creatures.

The Humane Society is independently funded, so donations and fundraising are integral to its survival. “Community support is absolutely crucial to making our mission possible,” Warnick says. “Without the generosity of St. Louisans, we would not be able to offer the programming we do.” Along with state-wide rescue efforts and initiatives at the Humane Society headquarters, the nonprofit also operates Longmeadow Rescue Ranch. Located near Union, Missouri, the ranch is a haven for abused and neglected horses and other farm animals, offering comprehensive care and rehabilitation.

The nonprofit is hosting its Happy Tails Gala on Nov. 7 at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis. The Humane Society only hosts the event every five years, making it a special opportunity. Guests can look forward to celebrating the bond between people and their pets. There will be the chance to meet adoptable animals as well as Barn Buddies from Longmeadow Rescue Ranch, including Twister, a rescue horse who learned to paint. “Guests can look forward to a truly magical evening,” Warnick says. “We’re excited to share our mission with St. Louis. Together, we can ensure that every animal in need receives a second chance.” &

of Missouri was dedicated to helping abused and neglected draft horses. Now more than 155 years later, the nonprofit has broadened its mission to advocate for cats, dogs and other domesticated animals, upholding the same commitment to protecting those in need by offering important care. Along with being the largest provider of adoptable pets in Missouri, it is committed to ending the cycle of abuse and overpopulation through rescue efforts, spay and neuter programs, veterinary care and educational classes.

One of the Humane Society’s most important programs is the Animal Cruelty Task Force. “This group is highly trained and investigates cases of abuse and neglect throughout the entire state of Missouri,” president Kathy Warnick explains. “They make sure we can provide animals the care needed for rehabilitation and adoption so they can have a chance at a happy, healthy life.”

The task force responds to more than 18,000 reports of abuse and neglect annually. The public can file reports online or by calling 314.647.4400. The team doubles as a crisis response unit that is called across the country to aid in rescues during natural disasters like floods and hurricanes.

Many of the animals rescued by the Animal Cruelty Task Force have been abused and neglected, and the Humane Society uses its resources to give them a second chance at a better life.

This includes the veterinary and behavioral care necessary to ensure that they can be adopted. “The shelter and rescue center

SUPPLEMENT YOUR HEALTH

WELLNESS

BY STEPHANIE WALLACE

A healthy diet is the primary way your body gets the vitamins and minerals it needs. However, age, dietary restrictions and health conditions can limit the vitamins and minerals you get from food alone. That’s where dietary supplements come in. Surveys have found that nearly three in every five adults in the U.S. reports taking at least one supplement. We’re looking at common supplements and how those nutrients help keep you healthy and thriving.

vitamins b12 and b9

These vitamins can help your brain health as well as supporting the production of blood and nerve cells. Most Americans get enough through foods. Vitamin B12 can be found in items like meat, fish, eggs and dairy, while B9, also known as folate, can be found in dark leafy greens, legumes, citrus fruits and nuts. Up to 30% of people over 50 have atrophic gastritis, which makes it harder for your body to absorb them. Since B12 is primarily derived from animal products, it also is important for vegans and vegetarians to supplement their intake.

vitamin d

Your body needs vitamin D to help absorb calcium.

Taken in tandem they can help prevent osteoporosis.

Vitamin D also support the function of your muscles, nerves and immune system.

Most people get vitamin D from sunlight, but with age, it can become more difficult for your body to make the conversation. While it is harder to get this vitamin from food, it is found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel and sardines.

creatine

When you hear “creatine,” you may think of athletes and muscle growth, but the compound not only improves physical performance. It plays a role in healthy aging and everday function, helping people maintain strength and mental sharpness. Creatine is created through amino accids like glycine and methionine, and it can be obtained from foods like meat, fish, poultry and dairy products.

calcium

Calcium helps many systems of the body function properly— muscles, nerves and blood cells. You get most of your calcium from your bones, which get it from food. However, with age, you loose more of the mineral than you absorb.

Women over 50 and men over 70 should get about 20% more than other adults. Calcium is found in dairy products like milk, yogurt and cheese. You also can get it from fish, dark leafy vegetables and fortified foods, such as cereals.

| SEPTEMBER 16, 2026

magnesium

This mineral helps your body make protein and bone, and it keeps your blood sugar stable.

When it comes to diet, you can get it from nuts, seeds and leafy greens. However, some medications and certain health conditions can make it difficult to get the magneiusm needed. This makes it more likely that older adults are deficient

fish oil (omega-3s)

Omega-3s are known as essential fatty acids because while your body needs them to function, it cannot produce them on its own.

They are important for the health of your brain and eyes as well men’s reproductive health. Research indicates that omega-3s also can help protect against age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s, arthritis and macular degenration. They are found in foods like fatty fish, walnuts, canola oil and flaxseed.

While healthy foods are the best way to get nutrients, supplements help fill in holes that aren’t covered by you diet. They can come in the form of pills, powders, gel capsules or liquids, and they can contain vitamins, minerals, fiber, amino acids or enzymes. While a doctor’s prescription is not needed to buy these products, it is important to consult with you doctor about what nutrients you need to supplement.

COVER STORY

CREATE JOY THE GATESWORTH

FOR MANY PEOPLE, their golden years may be a time to slow down and take it easy, but it’s still important to remain active and engaged—mentally, physically and creatively. Simple steps and routines, such as learning something new or engaging in meaningful conversations, can have a big impact. The Gatesworth understands this and strives to find innovative ways to support lifelong learning for its residents, whether it’s fitness and wellness classes, lectures from local experts, a wide variety of clubs or simply the opportunity to connect with peers.

Resident Timmie Wiant has found that living at The Gatesworth offers endless opportunities for engagement. Originally, a native of New Jersey, she moved to St. Louis after her husband got a job with Mercy. They raised their family here, and Wiant quickly became involved in the community, volunteering at the Missouri Botanical Garden and playing tennis. Now 92, she remains active as ever, although now she spends more time watching tennis than playing. “This has been an exciting time in my life,” Wiant says. “There are no expectations for how I fill my days. I’m getting to spend time with my grandchildren and great grandchildren. I feel very fulfilled.”

One of Wiant’s favorite activities is rug hooking. She discovered the artform while visiting New Hampshire on a trip with her sister. The history and creative potential of the craft appealed to her, and she’s been an avid rug maker for around 30 years.

“I liked the idea of taking almost any idea and turning it into a handmade piece,” Wiant notes. “It’s an opportunity to create and get creative. I’ve made rugs that are very colorful and bright, and I’ve also tackled serious subjects, including a rug related to Sept. 11. I like being able to express so much and so many different things through my work.”

Living at The Gatesworth, Wiant has been able to connect with more people who also enjoy rug hooking. She is part of a group of residents that share their work and support one another during the crafting process. “It’s nice to have a group of people

who are involved in the same kind of creative work,” she says. “We enjoy spending time together. We admire each other’s work, and there are a lot of good vibes that come from connecting with other creators. Meeting new people, especially fellow rug hookers, is one of the joys of my life.”

Wiant enjoys the freedom of life at The Gatesworth. Her days are filled with what she wants to do, whether that’s attending a lecture, reading a book, meeting with fellow residents or enjoying a stroll through the community’s beautiful grounds. “Life is more relaxed at The Gatesworth, but there is still always something interesting going on,” she notes. “It’s the best there is in senior living.

LEARNING

Across Generations

BY STEPHANIE WALLACE

We can all learn something from one another—that is especially true for people from different generations. Building connections and camaraderie with others, regardless of age and background, can have a powerful impact. Nowhere is that more evident than in the success of intergenerational tutoring, like the program created by St. Louis Oasis.

Founded locally, Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring is now one of the largest programs of its kind, helping children across the United States. Since 1989, it has reached more than 600,000 children in 13 states.

In Missouri alone, the program serves approximately 1,800 kindergarten through third-grade students in 181 schools across 40 school districts—all while giving older adults the opportunity to give back and teach the next generation. T&S spoke with Oasis chief purpose officer Stephanie McCreary to learn more about the program and its impact.

HOW DOES THE TUTORING PROGRAM BENEFIT THE TUTORS? Oasis tutoring was built for older adults to have meaningful engagement. We want seniors to have access to an engaged and active lifestyle, whether it's through lifelong learning, wellness classes or volunteer opportunities. In general, volunteering can lead to better mental and physical health outcomes. By becoming a tutor, they get to help students master basic skills while also acting as a mentor and friend. Participants meet with students once a week for the duration of the school year. It gives them a new sense of purpose and commitment.

WHAT ABOUT THE STUDENTS? Working with an Oasis tutor gives students support outside of their teacher or other school staff. Instead of seeing it as more work, they get to learn from a friend and mentor who is showing up just for them.

It’s about building a relationship, and through that connection comes academic success.

WITH SEPTEMBER BEING NATIONAL LITERACY MONTH, HOW DOES OASIS TUTORING HELP STUDENTS BUILD THESE SKILLS? Reading scores are not where educators, parents or students want them to be. According to USAFacts, only 31% of fourth graders were reading proficiently in 2024. Oasis Tutoring is a low- to no-cost, highly effective intervention for school districts and partner sites, such as the YMCA and church groups. We become part of the school community and get engaged on a deeper level. We don’t support just one student. Our program impacts what teachers

F14 |

| SEPTEMBER 16, 2026

are able to do with their entire classrooms. For students participating in Oasis tutoring, 97% have improved their reading scores by two levels or more.

WHAT DOES A TUTORING SESSION LOOK LIKE? For our literacy program, tutors go through training and are given materials for their first lessons, so they already have a plan and structure for their initial meetings with the student. Each session usually includes reading, discussion and reviewing the child’s writing. It’s designed to give the student a sense of accomplishment.

HOW IS THE OASIS TUTORING PROGRAM EXPANDING? We have launched a math program. It’s been in Missouri school districts for two years now. It brings that same sense of connection and support to learning all things math. The results are promising.

One hundred percent of students in the program are showing improvement.

HOW DOES OASIS SUPPORT ITS TUTORS? Along with initial tutor training, we offer continued professional development. Our tutors are not required to have previous experience. We provide them with eductor-developed materials and methods as well as ongoing support, such as our online and in-person libraries and Tutor University, a learning series designed to provide new ideas, strategies and inspiration throughout the school year.

ARE THERE ANY REQUIREMENTS TO BECOMING A TUTOR? No—that’s the real beauty of the program. We love when retired teachers and other educators get involved, but we’re thrilled whenever anyone wants to help a student. Learning to read is not something that happens naturally. No matter our backgrounds, we had to learn at one point. Our intergenerational model is built on connection. It’s not just about changing literacy or math outcomes.

We want to help people share experiences and grow together. It’s a wonderful thing for children and adults. Every child can benefit from a mentor and extra support. We’d love to have an Oasis tutor for every student that is struggling.

317 N. Central Ave., Clayton` What are some benefits of the home’s location?

Set within the sought-after neighborhood of Old Town, 317 N. Central Ave. offers a quiet, established setting within an easy stroll of the restaurants, shops and amenities of downtown Clayton. Taylor Park is right up the street, providing a lovely place for a morning walk or an afternoon with the kids. This location is a rare combination of neighborhood charm and effortless access to all that Clayton has to offer.

PHOTOS: SQUAREONE

FROM THE AGENTS »

Tucked away in one of Clayton’s most iconic neighborhoods, 317 N. Central Ave. is a stunning example of modern architecture and luxury living. From the memorable entry to the retreat-like backyard, every detail of the home was designed with comfort, function and beauty in mind. Listing agents Alex Thornhill and Heather Johnson are offering insight into what makes this property a can’t-miss opportunity.

Tell me about the outdoor spaces.

The backyard is a tranquil, zen-inspired retreat designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Mature Hornbeam trees create a lush, private backdrop surrounding a serene water feature, fire pit and outdoor entertaining area complete with a built-in grill. Thoughtfully landscaped and exceptionally peaceful, this secluded oasis feels worlds away from the everyday.

What are some standout features of the property?

Clean architectural lines, rich wood detailing and walls of windows create

a home that feels both gallery-like and deeply inviting. A memorable entry includes a sculptural staircase with glass and steel railings that makes a striking architectural focal point. Additionally, there is a wood-paneled elevator that services all three floors, a glass-enclosed fitness room and a wine cellar—details that elevate both everyday living and entertaining.

Is the home good for entertaining?

This exceptional residence brings together a rare sense of warmth and livability. The kitchen is a true focal point, anchored by an oversized island that naturally brings people together, while shoji-inspired screens offer the flexibility to define the formal and informal living areas or open them for a seamless flow. The connection between each area creates an elegant sense of continuity, equally well suited to intimate dinners, relaxed gatherings, and sophisticated entertaining.

What should the next homeowners know about the property?

This home has been thoroughly enjoyed and lovingly cared for, and its next steward will be fortunate to call it their own.

WHAT IS TRADITIONAL INTERIOR DESIGN? QUICK ANSWER : Traditional interior design is a timeless style

4 5

3

2

1

rooted in 18th- and 19th-century European decor, defined by symmetry, rich wood tones, layered textiles and classic furniture silhouettes. At its core, it prizes comfort, order and a sense of history: rolled-arm sofas, antique-inspired case goods, warm color palettes and accessories arranged in balanced pairs.

Traditional style isn't going anywhere, but it isn't staying the same either. What once felt like your grandmother's formal sitting room has evolved into something far more personal and wonderfully livable. It has become one of the most sought after looks again, as more people look for warmth, character and homes that feel like they'll stand the test of time.

What sets today's traditional homes apart is that they aren't filled overnight. They're intentionally collected. Every piece is chosen with purpose, whether it's a vintage find discovered at an antique market, something collected while traveling, a family heirloom or a thoughtfully selected new investment. Those layers of old and new are what give a traditional home its richness and sense of history.

What defines traditional interior design?

While traditional interiors can take many forms, the best ones tend to share these defining characteristics: ▪ CLASSIC FURNITURE SILHOUETTES: Rolled arms, turned legs, tufted upholstery, wingbacks, cabriole curves; shapes borrowed from English and French furniture history.

▪ RICH, WARM MATERIALS: Deep and mid-tone woods (mahogany, walnut, cherry, oak), brass and bronze, and natural stone.

▪ LAYERED TEXTILES: Damask, floral, plaid and stripe, layered across drapery, upholstery and rugs, with plenty of velvet, linen and wool for texture.

▪ CURATED ACCESSORIES: Antique-inspired lamps, framed art in thoughtful arrangements, porcelain, books and the heirloom pieces that make a room feel like yours.

What ties it all together is a sense of comfort and longevity.

Traditional interiors are designed to outlast trends, favoring quality, craftsmanship and pieces that feel just as relevant years from now as they do today.

Where does traditional style originate?

Traditional interior design draws from European decor of the 1700s and 1800s, mostly English and French, along with the formal Colonial and Neoclassical interiors that followed in America. It borrows the proportions of classical architecture, the craftsmanship of period furniture makers and the layered, collected feeling of grand historic homes. Knowing that origin makes the “rules” click into place: the symmetry comes from classical architecture, and rich woods and textiles come from an era when furniture was built to last generations.

FA L L I N G F O R FOR INTERIOR DESIGN

BY STEPHANIE WALLACE

OK, summer may not officially be over until Sept. 22, but with August behind us, our minds have already turned to autumn— and that includes interior design. We’re looking at a few trends that are expected to make a splash this fall.

WARM COLORS

Make warmth the foundation for your fall interior design. Swap out cool tones for warm ones, and don’t be afraid to experiment with layering and combinations to create more depth and personality. Chocolate browns, golden hues, sage greens and rich burgundys can all help transform a room.

VINTAGE LIGHTING

Add some old school allure to any room through the lighting. Whether it’s choosing a classic chandelier for timeless elegance or something funkier with midcentury charm, the options are endless and adaptable to any style. Floor lamps and pendants are especially on trend.

LAYERED INTERIORS

Tired of minimalism and beige or white interiors? Interior design is leaning toward creating thoughtfully assembled interiors that favor personal storytelling over manufactured perfection. This can be achieved by mixing vintage pieces with modern items, selecting art that inspires you and accenting your home with meaningful items.

NATURAL MATERIALS

Embrace the texture and imperfections that make natural materials feel authentic and lived in. This goes beyond choosing wood cabinetry or a stone countertop.

Transform your space with high-variation tile, leathered stone and plaster used in unexpected ways, such as sinks, furniture and lighting.

CURVED FURNITURE

Organic shapes and curvilinear designs are all the rage, and that extends to furniture. Whether it’s a sofa, chaise or coffee table, these pieces can help create a harmonious and inviting atmosphere.

WOOD PANELING

Looking to make your home warm and cozy this fall? Consider wood paneling.

While often considered dated, it can be paired with modern furniture to create an elegant but welcoming space.

If adding actual paneling isn’t an option, you can achieve the vibe with paint or wood veneer wallpaper.
