BASEBALL/SPORTS YIELD LIFE’S LESSONS
Even though we’ve had a mild winter this year, we think most of us would agree that we're looking forward to getting outside more, exploring and seeing those spring flowers and trees blooming.
Just like the spring brings renewal and freshness to our land, we as individuals should try to stay fresh and new, and leave room for trying new places and things. Maybe you’ve been in a rut, or your calendar has been too full for "adventures" and “exploration,” but it doesn't have to be something big and crazy. It can be driving around a part of the county you’ve never been to, walking a different trail or finding a fun new place you’ve been meaning to visit.
Our hope is that this issue encourages you to make room for exploration. To prioritize time away from the regular schedule of life. To get the kids off screens, and to lose yourselves on a trail or in a book. To schedule that trip you’ve been thinking about, to make time for the things that matter most to you, but often come last on the calendar.
If April showers bring May flowers, make time to play in the rain! I did that as a kid and I loved it. Be sure to post your experiences on our Facebook and Instagram pages. We’d love to see your adventures!
Happy Spring,

Hearth & Soul, a boutique located at 9640 Clayton Road, recently chose Ladue Education Foundation & Alumni Association as their nonprofit partner. This means that throughout one month, 100% of the net profits from the sale of the Alixx Demilune Epure Candle were donated to the foundation/association. The Hearth & Soul store team previously donated sales revenue from this candle line to support the Red Cross of Greater St. Louis.
In recognition of National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day, one local police officer especially got into the spirit of being on The Rams team. School Resource Officer and City of Ladue Police Officer Rick Ramirez was honored by the Ladue School District, the Ladue Police Department, and most importantly the students he sees every day. SROs help keep schools safe and cultivate positive relationships with students, families, staff and communities.
Clayton Fire Department staffers recently welcomed a firefighter from France to the station: Vincent Allard, the father-in-law of city employee Hobie Kropp, as he was in town visiting. Vincent and CFD members shared experiences, operational differences and compared the equipment of the French and American fire services. Vincent's daughter, Manon Allard-Kropp, served as a translator.

One local landscaping and garden design center team is busy this spring helping those within the St. Louis metropolitan area to create stunning outdoor, beloved spaces. While it's true Chris Passiglia was figuratively 'born' into the landscaping profession, learning the trade side-by-side with his father and brothers, he also grew into a distinctive landscape design leader in his own right, as owner and operator of Passiglia Landscape, Nursery & Garden Center in Wildwood.
The Passiglia business started as a produce and nursery plants retailer in 1950 on Broadway next to Produce Row in downtown St. Louis. The nursery was moved to its current 10-acre location at 1855 Highway 109 in 1990, after which Chris developed the landscape design and installation division.
“Our mission is to provide customers with the highest quality materials that are maintained meticulously by passionate, horticulturally minded individuals. We truly care about customers' successes and investments. We provide innovative designs and professional services, with a commitment to each client through attention to detail, timely communication and superior customer service," says Chris.
"We promise unmatched service and delivery for all outdoor living needs.”
Current Passiglia landscaping design services are robust and thorough, covering two- and three-dimensional plans and installations for both residential and commercial projects. They provide trimming, mulching, fertilizing and pest control for outdoor landscaping plants, too. "We also handle landscape lighting, irrigation systems and drainage solutions," adds Chris.
Now with three decades in this landscape business, Chris and his team continue to branch out through new horticulture and landscape industry options. They offer thousands of plants,
from perennials and Missouri natives to shrubs, trees, veggies and fruit bushes. Customers may request on-site landscape design consultations.
Chris says the team also enjoys collaborating on people’s original, one-of-a-kind designs.
The company's outdoor living design services include pergolas, patios, outdoor kitchens and firepits. Additionally, they can provide retaining walls and rock paver designs.
"Customers also appreciate being able to keep their outdoor areas looking good throughout the year with our seasonal color planting service," Chris adds.
Furthermore, décor and accessories at the Passiglia Garden Center have been freshened for this spring season. Shoppers can choose from among gardening gifts, supplies and tools, products from local craftsmen and artisans, patio decor, bird baths, bird feeders, trellises, flower pots, planters, wind chimes, statues and stepping stones.
Chris says team members' roles range from buyers, managers, project coordinators and production supervisors to customer
service representatives, landscape architects and designers. "We all relish opportunities to engage with customers to provide information or tips, and to address questions."
Some topics they routinely address include watering regimens for plants or lawns, how to make seasonal planters, good ways to protect trees or shrubs, steps to decorate patios, proper ways to use fertilizers, and the best bets regarding heat- or drought-resistant plants for local summers.
Classes and workshops are scheduled throughout the year on location, along with special events and festivals. This year, Passiglia launched a podcast, TO THE ROOT, during which individuals can hear tips, advice and stories with host and Passiglia manager Julie Evans Straatmann, along with a variety of guests.
During 2022, the nursery team added a fall festival to the lineup, complete with sales, vendors, live music,
photo ops and food trucks. For updates regarding future special events, those interested may check the Passiglia website or sign up for the group's newsletter.
A fourth generation of family landscaping interests is blooming. Chris' son, Cameron Passiglia, serves in plant health/maintenance and sales roles at the nursery. He's been working at the nursery for five-plus years learning the various aspects of the business. Cameron also works with the landscape crews from time to time.
"We want customers to have the best experiences, products and services possible. A finished landscape that reflects clients' dreams, and surpasses their expectations of beauty and function, is our mission and passion," adds Chris.

“One of the greatest gifts we have is the opportunity to ask our audience what productions they want to see each year and from my earliest days as an usher, and still now, I am always excited by our audience’s energy around the season survey,” says Muny President and CEO Kwofe Coleman. “That excitement is doubled and the relationship with the audience only deepened in a year like this where we will be presenting so many of the most requested productions from the survey."

Cardinals Manager Looks Forward To New Redbird Season And New App Developed With Wife
ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON
St. Louis Cardinals Manager Oliver Marmol's life revolves around sports on and off t he diamond.
Of course, he admires various public and group elements of The Lou, but one recent initiative undertaken with his wife, Amber, remains personal to his core values. When Oli was a coach in the Cardinals’ minor league system in 2013, he and Amber went on a weeklong mission to an orphanage in Central America. As devout Christians, they saw dire needs there, which Amber says ignited their desire to build something sustainable to give back to the next generation. They eventually launched a new program through an artificial intelligence-driven app to raise charitable funds while also helping youths, in general, to excel in life and sports.
"Shortly after a mission trip we took to poverty-stricken areas of Guatemala, we got this idea aimed at helping aspiring youth, not only in sports but in every day. Naturally, we started with baseball but it
quickly expanded into various sports," recalls Amber.
Oli says it was the most poverty they'd ever seen firsthand, and it changed the way they approached their own lives and finances. "There was a village of kids who were eating only one meal every three days."
Amber suggested that she and Oli start a company through which he would provide baseball lessons to young players and 50% of the revenue would go to a feeding center in Guatemala. So they did. Based on the initial approach, they were able to write a check to the orphanage that allowed the youth to eat three meals a day for about six or seven months. Amber decided unequivocally that wasn't enough.
"Our hearts started with international interests. But the more we thought about it, we realized that we had helpful sports-related information that could help kids of all ages in lifelong ways. Tips about perseverance, principles, work ethic and mental approaches to challenges," says Amber,
who developed a business strategy for what became the app so that youths could access lessons that would figuratively open doors for them.
The Marmols' commitment and creativity led to co-founding Versus (VS), a new sports edtech platform combining world-class athletes and conversational video artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver video content that provides lessons to young athletes. The app was launched in August 2022. Additional co-founders were Mike Shildt, former manager of the Cardinals, and Trey Nielsen, former professional baseball player.
Amber says, "We wanted to help elevate and empower kids in life. That's what gets us excited about it."
VS includes well-known baseball names, including Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith, as well as St. Louis Cardinals' stars Albert Pujols and Adam Wainwright. Among those who provide softball instruction and tips on the app are Jennie Finch and Jessica Mendoza.

The app now includes soccer-based tips as well, from Olympians and champions, such as Tyler Adams, Tim Howard, Kelley O’Hara, Ashlyn Harris, Ali Krieger and David Copeland-Smith.
Each of the professional athletes featured on VS were asked at least 600 questions on a spectrum of topics. Users then may ask questions and receive answers in real-time in conversational AI technology built by StoryFile. It even includes ideas about how to perform under pressure and deal with social or peer issues.
Future content on VS is expected to cover related, performance-optimizing factors, such as nutrition, fitness recovery and sleep regimens.
To locate this app, visit Apple's online App Store and locate Versus Interactive/Sports Performance Training. The VS course content includes a three-day free trial. The cost of an annual membership to VS is $199, however, it's currently being offered at $129 for a limited time. Customers have unlimited access to all courses and questions, along with behind-the-scenes content.
VS contributes 10% of the topline revenue to charitable organizations that focus on development and access for underserved youth around the United States.
"We hope and want youths who access the app to learn that succeeding in life, as it is in sports, is a process. It's OK to fail during that process because people that they admire
also have done that; it's just part of reaching goals," says Amber.
"The concept of having staying power, or tenacity, is especially important in today's social media environment. We want youths to know not to be afraid of their personal journeys."
Oliver was promoted from bench coach in 2022 to become the youngest current manager in major league baseball at age 35 -- five years younger than the next-youngest manager, in fact. He infused a variety of experiences to now leading the team, based on being the Cardinals' first base coach as of the 2017 season. Before the 2019 season, the Cardinals shifted him to bench coach. On Oct. 25, 2021, he was promoted to manager of the Cardinals.
As one of the nation's oldest and most successful professional baseball clubs, Oli leads a Cardinals' roster of 12 coaches, who cover game planning, hitting, pitching, the bench, the bases and the bullpen.
At press time, the Cardinals were already doing well at spring training in Jupiter, Fla.
"I'm looking forward to this upcoming baseball season because the team and coaches have really nice chemistry and dynamics already," says Oli.
As 11-Time World Series Champions, the Cardinals’ 2023 season spans March 30 through Oct. 1.

It’s always magical to spend a night sleeping under the stars. In decades past, adventure seekers have packed the SUV or camper with tents and gear for ‘roughin’ it’ in the great outdoors. But the swanky and exploding category of luxury outdoor hotel is something to investigate for an unforgettable, next-level experience.
For those who prefer glamping rather than pitching their own tent fireside, here are a few options that incorporate sweeping views and a unique opportunity for travelers to be more authentically embedded in the landscape of the place they’re visiting. These resorts have bucket list-worthy rooms that capture the best of both the luxury resort experience and the outdoors.
Whether you crave the dry heat of the remote Utah desert or the luminous beauty of the Northern Lights, we’ve curated a short list of some places you *must* check out.
In southern Utah, Amangiri is a five star resort perfect for an adventurous weekend in the desert. However, it is the simple rooms built to emphasize the beauty of Canyon Point that truly make it an incredible place to stay. Each suite has an outdoor lounge and fireplace with private pools or rooftop terraces available too. Don’t miss a dip in the ‘gram-worthy pool, which wraps around the landscape’s curved dunes and arid plateaus.

The Spanish island Ibiza boasts lush pine forests, hidden calas (cove beaches) and Hacienda Na Xamena, a resort suspended on a cliff 600 feet above the Mediterranean. Guests flock to its spa for the eight saltwater thalassotherapy (seawater as a form of therapy) lagoons, which are linked together with waterfalls. Swim to the edge of the pool and drink in the sweeping sea vistas.
This jungle hideaway is so out there, you have to whitewater raft down a river or ride a gondola to get there. A network of hanging bridges connect the villas, which have thatched roofs, plantation teak wood floors, rattan furniture and private plunge pools. In the evening, zip 400 feet down a cable for a meal at the Nest, a platform at the top of a ceiba tree, then take a night-time stroll along romantic pathways lit by candles and lanterns.
