BY RONNA A. NOVELLO PHOTOGRAPHY BY BETH SEGAL emember the tube top, the strapless creation that took the fashion world by storm in the 70s? A young Israeli named Elie Tahari came up with the idea. That top, followed closely by the handkerchief dress, was Tahari’s entrée into the glittering world of New York fashion. He arrived at that pinnacle by a most unusual route. Raised in an orphanage in Israel, Tahari entered the Israel Defense Forces at 16. Trained as an electrical engineer, he decided to leave Israel after his army service and immigrate to the United States. “I came to America because I was struck by what I saw in the movies,” Tahari explains in an e-mail interview with jstyle. “I saw a world filled with hope, prosperity and endless opportunity. I wanted to experience it and be a part of it.” His first few days in America didn’t fully live up to the ideal. He slept the first night on a bench in Central Park. Using the skills he learned in the army, Tahari found a day job as an electrician in New York’s garment district. Nights, he worked at a boutique in Greenwich Village, selling women’s clothing. The two jobs afforded him very

different perspectives on the fashion industry, views that helped shape a new career for himself. “A wonderful man gave me an opportunity to work in his store,” Tahari relates. “I learned how retail worked and gained insight into the fashion industry. Soon I opened my own store on Lexington Avenue and started to create my own designs.” New York’s nightlife was the impetus for those designs. “The 1970s was an exciting time to be in New York, and the club scene was at its height. I was young and full of ideas, many of which came from those late nights,” Tahari says. “It’s not that I thought something was lacking in women’s clothing. I had my own thoughts of what makes women look beautiful and sexy. When I created the tube top, it became an overnight success and in many ways launched my career.” Tahari focused his designs and marketing on a particular group. “My first customers were young, New York style-savvy women who needed clothes (that could be worn) for day and for night,” he says. Women entering the workforce were looking for tailored suits that could take them to the boardroom without sacrificing femininity. Tahari filled that niche. A generation of women chose his designs. His suits were versatile enough to be worn to the office and then for a night out at the clubs after work. Tahari’s design philosophy has evolved over the years. “The clothes are more luxurious now, more feminine and more spirited,” he explains. “The collection is deeper; there is more selection.” In this year’s collection, fabrics and their pairings is the major

news. Denim is very strong and has been coupled with lots of luxurious partners. “We’ve put specialty washes on our jeans and have gorgeous silk linings in our denim jackets,” Tahari says. Other exciting fabrics in the fall collection include embellished, laser-cut and embroidered leather and fur. There are beautiful shearling and suede vests, jackets and coats, lots of luxurious cashmere, as well as jackets and skirts in soft, feminine washed velvet. “One of the signature pieces in the collection is an exquisite reversible, rabbit fur and printed cashmere vest,” Tahari reveals. “It is handmade in Italy and will be available exclusively at Saks this month.” Designs for the 2006 collection are “a secret, but watch for more tailored luxury and one-of-a-kind pieces,” he says. Tahari is also branching out by opening Elie Tahari Collection boutiques across the country over the next few years. The first opened in Manhattan in June 2004, followed by another in Las Vegas. A major influence on Tahari’s creative and business life is his wife Rory, creative director for Elie Tahari Collection. Despite his achievements in the fashion enclave, the fashion designer felt something was missing. “Even though I was successful, I was not at peace; I was missing something inside,” Tahari admits. “ My wife gave me structure; she helped me to understand who I was. She is very feminine and helps me to understand a woman’s perspective. She gave me wings and two beautiful children. You can’t make a great design if you do not work out of love.” ❑ All fashions courtesy of Saks Fifth Ave. With special thanks to Ed Heller, vice president and Dixie Lee Davis, director, Fifth Avenue Club.

Let the

capitals set your fashion pace BY RAE PHILLIPS

egardless of what you spend on your wardrobe, familiarizing yourself with couture styles will help you achieve a more fashionable appearance. With that in mind, let’s look at this fall’s newest designs emanating from the fashion capitals of New York, Milan and Paris. New York Think color or the absence of color because black is the number one color chosen in all three couture capitals. Black has always been my favorite color because it provides a sophisticated, elegant background upon which to accessorize. Different accessories give a basic black dress a variety of looks, so it’s a great place to start building your wardrobe. However, that does not stop Ralph Lauren from doing lots of gray, my second favorite color. If you have gray hair, and I do, gray is elegant, and Ralph Lauren knows how to make it very special. One of his evening gowns begins with a silver gray ombréd fabric at the top and finishes at the hem with black, shot with silver threads. Gorgeous! Escada offers something for every woman (providing she can pay the price tag). Among the choices are short mid-calf, strapless evening gowns; furs; full skirts; prints; chunky knits; belted jackets and coats; slouchy trousers à la Katherine Hepburn; printed and embellished Ts and beaded tops. All that glit-

ters is also fashionable this season. At Zac Posen and Nanette Lepore, for example, you’ll find metallic fabrics and even tweeds shot through with shine. Hems are all over the place, from very short (not for everyone) to midcalf. Personally, I favor lengths hovering in the knee area, which seems to be a preferred look in all three fashion capitals. One silhouette on everyone’s run-

way is the empire waist. It’s not the most flattering look unless you have a very up-and-down figure – small bust, narrow hips and thick waist. Oscar de la Renta, Marc Jacobs, and Calvin Klein, along with many other designers, trumpet this style. Dressy coats are strong this season. Velvets, brocades and tapestries all have a distinctly Russian flair. These coats are not intended to keep you very warm. They can be worn for all seaCLEVELAND JEWISH NEWS JSTYLE FALL 2005

sons as long as you have a good heater in your car for the colder months. For other outerwear trends, think full-cut swing shapes, shearlings and fur. Coat hems are as varied as dress and suit hemlines. Longer coats feature slim and flared styles. You’ll see big collars and cinched waists in neutral or earth colors as well as black and an occasional bright color. Some coats are belted; some are not.

jackets, cowboy skirts, hippie dresses and printed tops, as well as true couture styles. Stella McCartney has far fewer showy looks, concentrating instead on chic silhouettes. Chanel shows layers: Think short heavy tweeds skirts with leggings. Karl Lagerfield does tweeds, crochets, and knits, either worn separately or in his version of layering. Louis Vuitton’s Marc Jacobs showed beaucoup de black. He has designed tailored trench coats, safari jackets, jeweled tunics and red-carpet eveningwear. Jacobs turned quite a few heads with some suits and dresses featuring very poufed-up sleeves. Christian Dior’s John Galliano decorated his coats and suits with lavish furs. Christian Lacroix’s fall was, for him, more subdued and elegant. His evening styles include short dresses and black suits, which rated applause from his audience. Milan Dolce and Gabbana’s offerings include high-collared lace tops, mini-skirts and baby-doll dresses (ugh!). Think London in the sixties. Mui Mui does black, some with a vintage look. Armani shows Swarovski crystalembellished gowns for his Privé collection, as well as the wonderful suits he always offers. At Burberry, some new variations of the trench coat: Instead of a back pleat (or slit), he does many low pleats. A dress coat boasted a wide black satin band at the hemline. (You could add that satin band to one of your own black coats to update it.) Move over New York. Los Angeles has some standout designers, too. Jenni Kayne showed looks inspired by Armani, and Sheri Bodell has a great selection of little black dresses. Other hot trends from L.A. are studded jeans, embroidered Tshirts, and lots of denim. Ponchos have been replaced by crocheted shrugs and tunics. Menswear fabrics, tweeds and

Accessories You can’t overlook accessories, so here are a few to consider. A lot of clutches are being shown, one in ultrasuede by Moschino. Betsey Johnson has wool, acrylic and metallic scarves (many decorated with wool rosettes). Cloches in rabbit fur, wool velour and fake leopard are most appealing and perfect for braving winter’s cold. Ditto for Donna Karan, who prefers wool purses, and Sonia Rykiel has a shining silk and viscose velvet handbag. All designers have their own ideas of what makes “fashion,” so you will find everything from classic daytime suits to glamorous pant styles, to gowns that would do the Academy Awards presentations proud. Fantasy or reality? Take your pick. Prices will be slightly up for fall, but don’t let that deter you from finding that special addition or two for your wardrobe. ❑

he heavy shearling coats and boots of yesteryear have spawned a generation of luxurious textures for fall outerwear, including velvet, leather, sheepskin and fur. Intricate embellishments like special stitching and embroidery make this year’s coats and sweaters anything but basic. Coats by the closet-full “People should not be afraid to brighten up a gray day with a colorful coat,” says Sherri Bryan, owner and buyer at Knuth’s in Landerwood Plaza. In years past, just one winter coat was enough. Now coats make a fashion statement, so everyone can aspire to an assortment of styles to top off any and every outfit. The fleecy shearling or “sherpa” look from last year is still trendy. Furry vests and coats with fox- or rabbit-trimmed hoods and cuffs are all the rage. This year’s coats are longer than last year’s, some even reaching women’s ankles, and they often have contoured waists to accentuate a woman’s figure, rather than hide it. Men’s heavy, stiff sheepskin coats have become more refined, according Richard Goldman, owner and buyer at Alberts in Eton. “There are still thick, Marlboro Man shearlings, but also more modern, lightweight interpretations,” says Goldman. While last year’s shearlings were solid browns and blacks, this year is all about soft hides with more weathered, antique looks. Patterned coat with faux fur collar and cuffs makes a bold statement for outerwear this season.

Sport coat over sweater The hottest new trend in men’s outerwear is casual sport coats that can be worn instead of sweaters or fall jackets. Ticknors Men’s Clothiers at Beachwood Place carries sport coats in solid black as well as professorial tweeds. What makes these coats different from sport coats of the past? Side-entry pockets add to the casual feel. Yet this style can be dressed up or dressed down to suit any occasion. For a night out on the town, combine a sport coat with a dress shirt and tie; when going to a carnival in October, wear a sport coat with jeans and layer a casual shirt and sweater underneath. “A man could wear this type of casual sport coat to the first Browns games, on an airplane (because it has pockets where he can keep his ticket), and out to dinner,” says Vern Ticknor, owner and buyer at Ticknors. “(The sport coat) is sharper than a sweater, and you’ll get your money’s worth because it has so

distinctive apparel for

many different functions.” From blazers to boleros The women’s equivalent of a chic sport coat is the shrunken blazer. “Shrunken?!” you may ask. Don’t worry. These blazers fit everyone, but are shorter than regular blazers and feature a bit of flare around the hips. These little gems come in all sorts of fabrics, including cotton-twill, tweed, jacquard and brocade. But the most talked about fabric of this season is velvet. “The velvet blazer is this year’s must-have for women,” says Bryan of Knuth’s. Forget black velvet evening wear – these blazers come in many colors, from deep forest greens to plum purples. Even with its luxurious feel, velvet can be a daytime fabric to wear with jeans as well as dressier attire. Sweater coats are another key item for women this fall. Reminiscent of 1970s full-length maxi coats, these long sweaters are often belted and come in both heavy and light fabrications. In fall, these sweaters can be worn

Cocoons are long wraps with sleeves built in. When you wrap the fabric around your body, you can tie it in front or in back, secure it with a brooch, or throw it over your shoulder. The different ways of wearing this sweater enable a woman of any age to choose her style – whether it’s funky, sophisticated, or a little of both. Shrugs and boleros are short sweaters that cover no more than the ribcage and are usually worn open. “Boleros can be very elongating,” says Susan Smith, buyer at Fibres in Eton. “Any age group can wear (boleros), and wearing them with longer tops (a new trend) tricks the eye and covers a lot of sins.” The thrill of frills For both men and women, little details are what make this

The new business

casual

It mixes the 1990’s old with the 21st-century new BY JOSH CABLE

PHOTO COURTESY / BONNIE’S GOUBAUD

Animal print jacket pairs with jeans for a sophisticated business casual look.

here was a time, in the not-toodistant past, when the notion of “business casual” would have been considered a contradiction in terms. “It used to be that women wore a suit, a blouse and a scarf,” says Toni Hadad, owner of Toni in Style in Chagrin Falls. “Or a turtleneck and a suit, depending on the season.” As for men … well, just picture Hugh Beaumont as breadwinner Ward Cleaver, briefcase in hand, coming home from work in any episode of the classic TV series “Leave It to Beaver,” and you’ll get the idea. So when did business fashion shift from the stiff, starched suits of the 1950s to polo shirts, jeans and sport coats? Wally Naymon, owner of Kilgore Trout in Woodmere, points to the dot.com boom of the early 1990s, which introduced a more laidback, devil-may-care approach to fashion that mixed and matched with the Silicon Valley types’ outside-the-box business thinking. Vern Ticknor, owner of Ticknors men’s clothing stores, takes it a step further: Ticknor believes business casual got hot in the 1990s when the booming economy created a jobseeker’s market. Companies felt the need to offer a business casual dress code as a perk to attract the best and brightest workers who could pick and choose between job offers. “Companies started saying, ‘We’re going to have casual Fridays,’” Ticknor says. “Then casual Fridays went to casual Thursdays and Fridays.” The state of business fashion today perhaps is an uneasy mix of our edginess over the specter of terrorism and a bit of leftover swagger from the lusty economic growth of the 1990s, Naymon reflects. “These are serious times right now. Ever since 9/11, our culture has changed. Certainly business dress, and dress in general, is a reflection of that.”

Naymon sees that zeitgeist playing out in interesting ways when it comes to business fashion. While he admits that he once defined business casual as “basically chinos and a polo shirt,” today he’s seeing the pendulum swing toward a more formal, serious look. On the other hand, Naymon also sees casual dress becoming “more casual.” A testament to that is the popularity of all things denim – from jeans to shirts to jean jackets – and the trend toward buying denim products with a vintage, pre-washed, weathered look. “For fall, we even are seeing corduroy and brushed cotton, all with these vintage, weathered, worn facets to the product,” he says. For women, the current palate of business casual choices is a reflection of how women have steadily become more confident, more successful and more empowered in the workplace, Hadad says. “Little by little as her confidence in the workplace has grown, she’s expressed that confidence in her clothing and her vast array of choices,” Hadad explains. For example, women can choose from slim skirts, A-line skirts, long

skirts and short skirts – “she has a lot of ways to express who she is and still look professional.” “You can wear a blouse with a little sweater over it and the bottom of the blouse hanging out – that’s really quite smart-looking – or if you need to keep it more professional, you can wear the blouse tucked in with a belt,” Hadad explains. “For an interview, you could wear a little silk blouse tucked in with a smart little belt and jacket. If you’re going out to dinner that same night, you could wear the same blouse, wear it out, with a low-slung belt, open up some of the buttons, put the collar up, add some great jewelry, and away you go.” The job always dictates the attire – someone on the company’s front lines, such as a sales rep, is more likely to wear a suit than a computer programmer with no face-to-face contact with customers. But Ali Barmen, co-owner of Collectibles, a contemporary women’s boutique in Beachwood, says that women have a bit of an edge over men when it comes to opportunities for splashes of self-expression. “I might have a teacher coming into

the store who really wants to look good for students and for meeting with parents after school,” Barmen explains. “She wants to look youthful but professional. She’s the type of person who only wants to be in trousers. We’d probably find something with a little bit of color that’s presentable to students and parents and maybe add some jewelry to accentuate her personality.” Even with a growing palate of business casual offerings to choose from, Naymon admits that men tend to be a bit intimidated by all the choices. “Men don’t always know how to dress business casual,” he says. “They know how to dress in a suit, and they know how to dress for cleaning the garage. But there’s that great void in between they haven’t figured out.” These days, men have another powerful, versatile tool in their fashion tool chest, so to speak: the sport coat. “Sport coats cover a lot of errors,” Ticknor says. Those errors could range from questionable fashion choices underneath them to … well, body irregularities, for lack of a better term. Ticknor says the sport coat-and-jeans look – and even the pinstripe-suit coatand-jeans look popularized by

“American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest – is a “sharp look.” The versatility of a sport coat makes it clear why it’s such a popular choice for so many different business settings. A sales rep visiting a major customer might wear a pair of wool gabardine dress pants with a mock turtleneck and a sport coat. But if that same sales rep is working in the office the next day, he might opt for a pair of Dockers and a sport coat. But Ticknor cautions that there are still some situations in which a sport coat wouldn’t be appropriate: “On the day I have a boardroom meeting asking how my sales are projecting, I wear my suit.” That kind of thinking shouldn’t be confined to when you’re on the clock. “Dressing to match the function you’re going to is just as important after hours,” Ticknor says. Bonnie Chernikoff, owner of Bonnie’s Goubaud, an upscale women’s boutique at Eton, even sees regional differences in the way business casual is interpreted. “A downtown attorney has different business casual than a Beachwood attorney, who has a different interpretation than a banker,” she says. Even if you understand the nuances of business casual in your company, your occupation, and the city in which you work, there’s one more ingredient to putting together a business casual wardrobe. “You still need a sense of fashion,” Chernikoff insists. “If you don’t have it, you need to find a boutique that will help you.” ❑

S High Fashion High Holidays

Who doesn’t need a new outfit to start the new year out right? BY ELLEN SCHUR BROWN PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARC GOLUB

Marci Moses of Orange has gone to Fairmount Temple since she was 5, when she went with her parents and grandparents. “It’s neat to be able to share that with my kids,” she says. Above, dressed by Bonnie’s, with Tyler, 3, and Kelsi, 9. Kids’ clothes from Macaroni.

hopping Maven scoured the shops with a group of young moms from Fairmount Temple Preschool who want to look stylish for the High Holidays and beyond. Here are the fashion trends we found for fall. • Be feminine “Get back to the romantic feel of dressing like a woman,” says Jennifer Wadas, of Jennahbella’s Clothing Boutique. Look for feminine details that soften a suit. • Don’t be wed to a suit Instead, try coordinates — a beautiful fitted jacket with a skirt or pants you can mix and match. Try pairing different plaids and textures. • Be bright Bold accessories, gold, colorful stones, and lots of glitz will be popular according to Audrey Bergrin, of Audrey’s Sweet Threads. Embellishments like lace trims, sequins and beading will be everywhere, predicts Ali Barmen, of Collectibles.

“I remember when I was 10 or 11, singing a solo at High Holiday services at Park. That was a chance to come into my own,” says Staci Vincent of Orange. Above, in a knit suit from You Two, with Ryan, 5, and Caden, 2. Boys’ clothes from Children’s Orchard.

• Be comfortable “People like knits for the holidays because they’re comfortable and don’t wrinkle,” says Rudy Bielert of You Two. The store carries lines, like JSS Knit, that specialize in modest designs for religious customers. • Don’t overdo it “Today, you want to look good, but not overdressed,” says Ellyn Wayne, of Ellyn’s. “Sharp, attractive and comfortable is the ticket.” “We used to be in a state of anxiety about what we wore for the holidays,” says Bonnie Chernikoff, of Bonnie’s Goubaud. “There’s a lot of anxiety in the world today. Why be anxious over what you’re wearing?” • Dressing up Kids: A cardigan or knit jacket is much more comfortable for boys than a traditional suit, says Susan Gottlieb of Macaroni. Girls are drawn to fancy, frilly things that twirl, but buy for comfort.

Lisa Lebowitz of Solon remembers her mom buying new clothes for the holidays. Above, dressed from Collectibles, with baby Lindsay, 6 months, Andy, 3, and big sister Megan, 5. Kids’ clothes from Oh How Cute.

s the leaves start to turn, pack away the minimalist, natural look of summer and experiment with more color and flair. You can put your best face forward with these tips from the pros. Eyes Drama is the watchword for eyes this season. The “smoky” look, achieved with heavy liner and dramatic shadow in the lower lid, fading gradually upward toward the brow, is especially intriguing. Liner can be smudged and blended outward for a more “rebel,” slept-in look. Eye shadow colors run the gamut from neutrals to hot Rock ’n Roll colors. Shimmer is in, adding highlights to eyes. Golden tones and warm, rich browns are also popular. Use them sparingly, or sweep them across the entire lid for a more eyecatching look. If you dare, try this new technique: a layer of black across the eyelid, muted by a layer of iridescent, vibrant colored shadow blended on top. Take a tip from Victoria at Sausalito Spa at LaPláce, and don’t skimp on the mascara – the finishing touch to gorgeous eyes. Find a mascara that really makes your eyes stand out, without clumping. If your lashes need a little help, false eyelashes are a hot item as well. “They’re a must!” insists Cheri, make-up artist at Dino Palmieri Spa at LaPláce. And don’t forget about those eyebrows! Proper brow shaping frames the eyes and gives them the attention they deserve. One final tip – if you change your hair color, be sure to adjust your brow color as well, using eyebrow powder.

Lips Plums, rich reds, and earth tones are stealing the spotlight for lip color, with emphasis on the “pouty” outlined look. The bold red or berry lip is a hit this season. While matte is a mainstay, shimmer and gloss finishes provide that extra-special look. For lip gloss lovers, there’s no need to say good-bye to your favorite product. Instead, check out the new, updated lip glosses for fall. Branded as “luster” gloss, they come in a tempting array of colors and flavors, giving a hint of shine without the juicy, wet look. The natural look is still in style as well. For those who prefer a “looks like I’m not wearing any lipstick” look, let pale peaches, pinks, and neutrals work their magic. Victoria at Sausalito likes to finish off lipstick with a coat of clear gloss for added shine. Dino Palmieri’s Sebastian make-up line has debuted a new lip product for the fall: a five-in-one palette with velvety, brush-on lip powder and a vanilla-flavored overlay gloss creates a customized look. Cheeks New cheek colors are chocolatey and earthy, in line with the falling leaves, while soft peaches and neutrals are still mainstays. Feel daring? Try a deeper shade than you ordinarily wear. What’s new for cheeks is really technique. Instead of applying blush to the “apple” of the cheek, try blending it into just the very outskirts of the cheekbone. Then apply a highlight color above that for added emphasis. “Think out of the box,”

suggests Peggy at Nordstroms. She advocates using shimmery, silvery color to highlight cheekbones and applying darker color beneath it for contour. “You can use eye products on your cheeks and blush on your eyelids. Don’t be afraid to do anything that looks good!” she counsels. The look she showcases is one where a lot of make-up is used, but the overall effect is natural and bare. This is accomplished by blending the make-up carefully and using high quality brushes. In fact, all the make-up artists agree that good brushes and good technique are an absolute must if you want your make-up to look good. Can’t quite get the hang of it when you try to put that new make-up on at home? Ask for a make-up lesson. Many make-up counters will instruct you on proper application technique. Skin Every woman wants her face to have a flawless, airbrushed finish. With the products available today, the look can be yours. Start with a good concealer to cover up under-eye darkness or even out skin tone. As those suntans fade, it’s time to get a little help from a foundation that’s right for you. Foundations come in a wide variety of textures, finishes and features. Try

Sausalito’s Bodyography line for an oil-free, natural finish. Dino Palmieri’s make-up line Trucco, offers an anti-bacterial foundation that helps heal acne. Make-up counters at Nordstroms, including MAC, are showing satin foundations which produce a pearly glow. For that dewy celebrity look, use some shimmer powder underneath the eyes or swept across the cheekbones. MAC offers a mineralized skin finish powder, which buffs into skin, leaving a faint iridescence that is simply stunning. The icy, shimmery look, achieved with liberal use of high-shine silvery or whitish products on various parts of the face is very popular. Highlights can be applied to the cheekbones, chin, and the sides of the nose to flatter good features. Well-placed highlights can also be used to successfully draw attention away from problem areas. Nor is the face the only part of your anatomy calling for attention. Body shimmer powder is also popular ❑.

Cheri of Dino Palmieri Salon and Spa, LaPláce, gave Regina Krieger, new director of Cleveland BBYO, a new look using new fall colors from Trucco. Highlighting positive features (great bone structure, high cheekbones and pretty lips) and minimizing problem areas were major goals.

Cheri contours and highlights Regina’s face to bring out her bone structure. She uses a soft brown for contour and ivory color to highlight. Prime lips to keep lipstick from bleeding. Lips are lined with sienna lipliner to define their shape.

Toner and moisturizer are applied first. Then Cheri applies foundation with a brush. Using a brush requires less product and gives a flawless finish. The foundation, Skintones, is antibacterial and has an SPF of 15. Even out foundation with a sponge.

Then Cheri fills in the entire lip area with the same liner. When lipstick begins to fade, lips still have color from the liner. Lipstick is applied with a brush for a softer, smoother look.

Cheri applies concealer under and above the eyes to mask redness. She follows concealer with a loose powder over the entire face. The powder absorbs oils and provides a matte finish. Frame the face with well-shaped brows. Cheri fills in Regina’s brows with soft powder and uses light ivory shadow underneath to visually lift them.

Color is added to Regina’s face with a tawny blush, which she applies to the apple of the cheeks.

She applies soft brown shadow to lids, followed by a medium warm brown in the crease of the eye. Cheri finishes with warm brown eyeliner top and bottom. Apply powder over the liner in a similar shade to soften the look. Finish up with black mascara.

The makeover doesn’t alter Regina’s appearance – it enhances her natural beauty. Not a glamorous look, this is something that can be achieved in 20 minutes.

WILL TELL

BY NOELLE BYE Once upon a time, if a woman wanted a trendy, flashy watch, she had to be willing to sacrifice one basic feature: She could forget about telling time on it. But, that’s a minor detail when you’re dealing with the latest fashion, right? Well, maybe 30 years ago. Back then, the hip watches for women were so small and dainty, no one could possibly read the tiny face. They were jewelry, plain and simple. We’re past that now. The new philosophy is “The bigger, the better,” says Linda Silver, owner of MANN Jewelers in Beachwood. “Strap watches with fun-colored bands are also making waves today.” “Color is big in all aspects of watch design,” says Chad Schreibman of Alson Jewelers. “Colored dials, straps and stones are major components.” Before we go any further, though, let’s make one thing clear: The modern gal knows she can get a watch for $5 or $10 almost any-

where, and it’ll do exactly what it’s supposed to do. Like tell time. But where’s the fun in that? Not convinced? Think of it this way: “It’s like an automobile – you can get every feature on a Ford Focus that you can get Jaeger Lecoultre reverso duetto, on a Cadillac or a stainless steel case and bracelet with Mercedes,” says James arabic numerals on one side, a Alperin, owner of dressier diamond case on reverse. James Alperin Jewelers in Chagrin Falls. “But what’s the difference between them? Well, maybe there’re heavier layers of paint on the Mercedes or … maybe more engineering goes into it.” Not to mention the word of the century: features. We want those bonus features on everything – and watches now have plenty of them. Not only are the faces larger, women today want watches that do lots of cool things; in other words, they want the watches men have bought for years. No, she’ll probably never need a built-in stopwatch – but that’s what’s “in.” And just because society is getting more practical doesn’t mean the modern female doesn’t still love the frills. She wants to maximize buying watches made with, say, diamonds and stainless steel. “Casual elegance is really what’s in,” says Bruce Botnick of Robert & Gabriel Jewelers in Lyndhurst. “Diamonds are an accepted detail for daily wear.” Which explains why more sports watches encrusted with diamonds are being seen on women’s wrists. Changing the strap on a watch gives it a whole new look. Manufacturers have made it as easy as changing your handbag. For those who love strap bands but hate the buckle/unbuckle struggle (ruins a lot of manicures), Botnick has a solution. “It’s called a deployment buckle. Works just like a metal band (the closure is hidden beneath the strap), but looks like a strap band.” And remember the days when you had to have a watch for every occasion: one to wear at the office, another for a fancy dinner and a third to throw on when you’re jogging? No more, says John Rinaldi, co-owner of Rinaldi Jewelry in Solon. “It’s not like ‘one for dress, one for play,’” Rinaldi says. “(Today’s PH OT O

women) want something very versatile, but still stylish.” Stainless steel has made the move from day to nighttime wear easier. “A stainless steel watch with diamonds isn’t as dressy as one in yellow gold,” says Schreibman. “Stainless has the appearance of white gold, so it can be worn everyday for all occasions.” The features and workings of the watches generally stay the same as you go up in price. The difference (besides bragging rights) is in the material. For example, a more expensive high-end watch may be made out of 18 karat gold, while a less expensive one might just have gold filling. But what’s high-end to one person may be hardly that to the next. For one customer, a Seiko – starting around $110 retail – is pretty fancy, while another gravitates toward $500-plus models. Watches by other manufacturers and designers can rise steeply from there. Several Rolex and Cartier models run in the $20,000 range. Some watches retail for as much as $66,000. Even if bigger, fancier watches are new fads, the customers who want them come in all ages, area jewelers agree — from older women who want a watch with a larger face, for ease of reading as well as to look fashion forward, to younger ones who want to make a fashion

acobs Field. The Hope Memorial Bridge. Edgewater Park. Lake Erie. Euclid Avenue. Rick Maron and Judy Eigenfeld don’t have to ascend to the Terminal Tower observation deck to enjoy this breathtaking Cleveland panorama. They command a bird’s-eye view of these city landmarks from the comfort of their living room. The couple’s sleek, sophisticated 4,000-sq.-ft. penthouse occupies the 16th floor of a building at 6th and Euclid built in 1895. Originally the home of National City Bank, it is now owned by MRN Developers, where Maron is a partner. The building was renovated in 1999 and reborn as a Holiday Inn Express. After living in Shaker Heights for 18 years where they raised two sons, now grown, the

Marons’ recent move downtown has turned them into urban explorers, discovering the pleasures of city living. Eigenfeld recounts the events of a recent summer day during which they took in an art festival in Tremont, followed by dinner at Pickwick & Frolic on East 4th St., capped off by a ball game at the Jake. “We knew the views were great here, but the surprise has been all the recreational stuff!” she enthuses. A big downtown booster active in redeveloping Euclid Avenue, Maron seconds his wife’s comments. “We have the most amazing night life. We’ve seen fireworks almost every night this week.

From up here we see barges on the river, regattas on the lake, the Grand Prix and the Air Show.” Skeptical friends speculated Eigenfeld would find it difficult to shop for groceries, but she says that is not the case. “I walk to the West Side Market and State Fish,” she says, “and Dave’s Market is just a short drive away.” She has also found other services close at hand. The Marons met a Jewish couple who have lived in the Reserve Square apartments for years who “shared the names of the best tailor, the best shoe repair and all sorts of other tips.” And family isn’t far, either. Ari Maron,

27, who works with his father, lives only a block further west in a rooftop apartment visible from their penthouse. Retired from teaching elementary school in Cleveland Heights, Eigenfeld continues her regular activities in the suburbs including tutoring adult bat mitzvah students and visiting her mother at Wiggins Place. The penthouse space was originally a warren of maintenance and mechanical rooms tucked among steel beams and trusses. “At first, no one thought this could be usable space,” says Maron. He was so taken by the great views the narrow windows afforded, however, that he consult-

ed structural engineer Craig Cohen about the feasibility of replacing them with larger ones. One year and “lots of creative problem-solving” later, the penthouse was completed. Throughout the suite, structural elements – exposed brick walls and steel girders – are incorporated into the design, giving it a bold, industrial aesthetic. Angled steel trusses add drama and echo the design of bridges visible from the living room windows. An unremarkable door admits one to the Maron’s foyer, an area with charcoal gray walls and a burnt orange limestone tile floor. The guest closet has taupe stained maple doors inset with smoked

glass. Around the corner from this somber entry awaits a bright surprise. A largerthan-life version of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” is painted on an angled wall leading to the powder room. The mural was executed by the painters who worked on the décor in The House of Blues. The powder room has a sophisticated ambience, with a limestone vessel sink, chrome fittings and ribbed, fabric-covered walls. Above the sink hangs a square beveled mirror in a painted wood frame, one of the few items the Marons brought from their old house. A black baby grand piano that belonged to Eigenfeld’s mother marks

the entry to the 1,400-sq.-ft. living area. This large concrete-floored rectangle encompasses a dining area, open kitchen and several furniture groupings. Steel beams and visible ductwork add a geometric element to the design. Exposed brick walls are punctuated by four large picture windows, offering southern and western vistas. The open galley kitchen features granite countertops from Brazil. With swirls of green, beige, pumpkin, rust and terra cotta, this unique stone sets the room’s color scheme. State-of-the-art amenities include a built-in vegetable steamer and stainless steel refrigerator drawers. The raised bar with three woven copper wire

bar chairs is a perfect place to eat breakfast. Adjacent to the dining area, the Marons built an enclosed butler’s pantry with another sink, dishwasher and plenty of storage and counter space. This enables Eigenfeld to entertain larger groups easily. “I have become the family hostess for holidays,” she says. “We had 38 people here

for each of the two seders.” The “living room” area is divided into two conversation groupings. The larger of these is anchored by a geometric patterned rug in gold, terra cotta and brown. A contemporary sectional couch upholstered in brown linen with orange circles features a row of plump gold pillows along the back. The sectional faces a single-arm sofa and is

a growing passion BY RACHEL HOSKINS xotic, like the 1920’s fashionista accenting her hair with its delicacy. Legendary, like the Japanese Samurai carrying its fragrance into battle. The orchid offers its followers a glimpse into the mysterious and the beautiful. “When you hear the history and the lore of orchids and how important they were in Japanese society and in culture and history – it sheds a whole new light on these plants. You know, you take a second look,” said Ruth Morlocke of Chardon, a 20-year member of the Greater Cleveland Orchid Society. Her first orchid, a gift to her mother in the 1960s, enticed Morlocke to cultivate the flower. Now, with her husband Ben Yospur, she grows hundreds of species in a 20-by-24-foot greenhouse attached to their home. “Orchids are absolutely magic. They

draw you in,” said Morlocke. It’s a passion she shares with about 50 fellow members of the Cleveland Orchid Society, founded in 1946 as the oldest American Orchid Society affiliate. Monthly meetings are held in the South Euclid Community Center at 1070 Victory Drive. The society hosts its annual show September 24 and 25 at the community center. There will be orchid vendors, potting demonstrations, educational seminars and three Greater Cleveland Orchid Society displays. Anyone who registers may enter a plant for judging, notes Morlocke, one of six judges. Marc Pollack of University Heights, a 10-year society member, said he hopes to enter an orchid of less delicate nature that he found at a grower in the Detroit area. “If it comes out the way it’s supposed to, it’ll be these fuzzy, red stinky flowers. In nature these attract

flies,â&#x20AC;? explains Pollack with a laugh. If it blooms this year, he hopes it will attract attention of another kind from orchid society judges. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all foul smells and curious species for Pollack. His favorite orchid is the Cattleya, commonly known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;corsage orchidâ&#x20AC;? and popular for its large, showy petals. Inside his greenhouse, Pollack inspected one Cattleya, reaching out and touching a petal as gently as if it were a ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that pretty? Nice, big, lavender like that?â&#x20AC;? he asks. Juxtaposing his hobby with his career as a carpenter for Neshkin Construction Co. Inc. of Cleveland, Pollack seems to be a man of contrasts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess it provides an outlet for me from work,â&#x20AC;? Pollack says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been interested in gardening.â&#x20AC;?

tures regulated. “I love all varieties of orchid,” says Toppelstein, standing inside his greenhouse next to a shelf strung with about 30 Cleveland Society prize ribbons. The more varied the orchid selection, the more interesting, he believes. A step into Toppelstein’s home and garden is like a step back in time. His 1960s home is pristine in its original interior and exterior design. About 500 feet behind the house stands the 12-by-18-foot greenhouse, built 10 years ago. A photographer for the now defunct Cleveland Press, Toppelstein also served in the United States Air Force during World War II. He currently serves as primary photographer for the Greater Cleveland Orchid Society, photographing prize-winning plants at their annual show. He is a lifetime member of the American Red Magen David Adom for Israel, David Mark Berger Chapter of Cleveland. Orchids give Toppelstein a hobby and an outlet from work. On a trip he took around the world with his wife in the 1980s, he brought home an orchid from Thailand. Today, he says, he purchases most of his plants online, through catalogues, or at orchid shows. “As long as the heating cost doesn’t put me out of business,” he says, pointing to his greenhouse, “I’ll keep doing this.” ❑ For more information on the Greater Cleveland Orchid Society and their fall show, go to www.gcos.org.

What’s Underfoot? New Trends in Flooring Hardwood floors are the biggest trend in showrooms today. Their appeal lies in their beauty and minimal maintenance. PHOTOS / CARPETMART & TILE

BY RIVA POMERANTZ

CLEVELAND JEWISH NEWS JSTYLE FALL 2005

f you’re looking for a way to wake up a room, the answer is lying right under your feet. A new floor can transform a room from “blah” to beautiful! Hardwood Hardwood is still the biggest trend in flooring today. With a vast array of textures, colors, and wood varieties, hardwood is used in nearly every area of the house – from foyer to kitchen to great room. “Today, they finish the wood with 20 coats of polyurethane,” enthuses John Calvetta of The Floor Show. “It’ll take 25 years to wear through the coats – and that’s based on a family of a husband, wife, three kids and a pet.”

Hardwood’s appeal lies in its beauty, scratch-resistance, and minimal maintenance. Check out the new “handscraped” look! Prices range from approximately $8.75 per square foot, installed, up into the $20 range for more unusual woods and finishes. Bamboo Bamboo is a really hot alternative, says Chuck Wien, owner of Marshall Carpet One. Dense, hard and durable, bamboo provides beautiful, lasting floors at reasonable cost. “Bamboo is a fast-growing wood, so it replenishes quickly, making it a good, earth-conscious choice,” says Chris Zeitler, president of Jamie’s Carpet Shop.

He points out that porcelain tiles are harder and generally feature “thru-body color,” meaning that the color and texture runs all the way through each tile, making chipping less noticeable. Porcelain tends to be slightly more expensive, but it is a very good option for a tile floor. Stone Natural stone is very popular right now, prized for its variegated, comfortable look. From tumbled stone to slate to highly polished looks, stone flooring can give real presence to a room, adding lots of ambience and an earthy quality.

Tiles can be installed very close together or with a visible grout line to show contrast between the tiles. Listellos are decorative tiles that add elegance and flair throughout a floor. Why not lay an eye-catching border around the perimeter of the room, fill in the middle with a smaller, more subdued tile, and feature a large, decorative motif in the dead center of the room?

look without a high-end price. The trick is not to be taken in by cheaper quality, which can scratch, rip and disappoint. Laminates are best used in lower-traffic areas and never in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms and laundry rooms. Joe Kaylor of Affordable Carpet says a new trend is laminate with a distressed wood look and beveled edges. Laminates also realistically depict tile, stone, and marble. Bold colors, interesting textures, and funky patterns and retro designs that will bring on the nostalgia round out the many options. Laminate averages $6 per square foot, installed. Carpet What would a flooring article look like if it didn’t roll out the proverbial red carpet? Carpet has been

around for what seems like forever, and it is still a mainstay in many homes. Here are some new trends: Friezes Vaguely reminiscent of the 70s’ shag, but with a modern, sophisticated makeover, friezes come in various lengths, colors, and textures. They provide lots of “coziness appeal.” Friezes range in price from $30 to $45 per square yard, installed, and hold up well in high-traffic areas. Cut Pile and Loop This beautiful carpet trend combines low, densely packed “loops” with longer, classic “pile” for lots of contrast and texture. The result is an almost embossed look that is stunning and dramatic. A variety of colors, patterns, and designs is available.

Carpet is widely popular in family rooms, dens, and bedrooms and is often the least-expensive flooring option. The bottom line in choosing a new floor covering is to buy whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right for you. Take into account your lifestyle, your expectations, and your budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too often, stores sell people floors without knowing how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll live on them,â&#x20AC;? says Mike Kovach, owner of Carpet Country Abbey of Twinsburg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People need to be educated. The customer makes the decision, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to have the facts.â&#x20AC;? Most vendors will give free, in-home estimates. Some even offer a traveling at-home design service. Whether your dĂŠcor is modern or traditional, casual or highly polished, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful product that is sure to leave you floored! â?&#x2018;

Antique penny arcade machines in contemporary Beachwood home turn heads BY MARILYN H. KARFELD PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARC GOLUB

f you’re nostalgic for Euclid Beach or the penny arcades of your youth, meet Jeff Halpert. Nothing makes him happier than feeding coins to his obedient charges and watching them shake hands, tell fortunes, or test strength. In his Beachwood home, the 42-year-old podiatrist has created a two-story mini-museum crowded with dozens of original, early 20th-century coin-operated arcade machines. They are all in excellent working condition. “I’ve always loved antiques,” says Halpert, who built his 4,800-sq.-ft. contemporary home in 1998 with his wife Laura. The couple share their home

with their three young children, who know they cannot play with the arcade machines unsupervised. Far from a child’s playground, this is a serious collection which Jeff has amassed over the last 13 years. His home office shares its generous space with the smile-evoking collectibles, which spill down a spiral staircase to fill a large lower-level room. The antiques are a sharp contrast to their contemporary surroundings: soaring ceilings, abundant windows, and modern art. Bleached oak floors, a purple upholstered bench, and geometric-shaped gray area rugs, accented with bold colors, set the tone in the 78

A large, curving gray leather sectional sofa, resting on charcoal carpeting sprinkled with pastel shades, provides comfortable seating for TV viewing. An abstract acrylic painting by artist Smadar Livne hangs over the gray marble fireplace. A companion piece by the Israeli painter in the adjacent music room features bold musical instruments that almost jump off the canvas.

A gray-bordered rug sets off the pale wood floors. Colorful coffee cups and saucers seem to dance across the top of the walls in the spacious white kitchen. Boldly colored upholstered seats on the kitchen chairs complement neutral speckled granite counters, oak cabinets stained an opaque white, and an off-white ceramic floor. An abstract etched glass window in the stairwell, leading up to four bedrooms and three baths, is inset with a

For Halpert, the fun is in hunting for the treasures and researching their history. He chooses pieces based on their desirability, rarity and provenance.

One of his prized possessions is Grandma’s Predictions, a fortune-teller machine manufactured in Cleveland in the 1920s with a wax head made in Dresden, Germany. It’s a sister to the Grandma at the long-closed Euclid Beach amusement park.

It took Halpert three years to find his animated Grandma, whose eyes and hands move. Like many of his machines, he bought her from a collector on the West Side of Cleveland. Northeast Ohio is home to a number of avid collectors. Another favorite and a very rare find is an early 1900s Uncle Sam

machine, decked out in patriotic red, white and blue. Purchased from a West Side collector two years ago, Uncle Sam shakes hands after he swallows a coin. “It’s a piece of folk art,” Halpert says. His puncher machine tests how strong someone is, depending on how hard he or she slams the dangling

leather bag. First found in saloons, strength-testers, along with assorted gambling machines, once were very popular, Halpert explains. An early 20th-century animated sign-lifter, which advertises products or services, is another unusual piece. These machines were often used in storefronts and window displays. A painted green metal mutoscope, or movie viewer, shows early silent movies. Slip in a coin, crank the handle, and watch “Charlie Chaplin in the Food Fight”; it’s one of a number of movies Halpert’s machine plays. The sounds of a banjo, xylophone, chimes and

A high wheel black bicycle with spade handlebars is on display in the stairwell, its tiny back wheel dwarfed by the huge front one. Downstairs, an authentic red Coke machine dispenses small bottles of the popular soda for a dime. Halpert even purchased

Hot tubs

home entertainment centers with water BY BY NOELLE NOELLE BYE BYE

Spas can be large enough to hold the entire family. Accessories run the gamut from waterfalls to DVD players and stereo systems.

ou’ve seen this scene in old horror flicks: A woman is sitting in a bathtub, when suddenly a dark shadow crosses the wall, and a killer throws an electric appliance in the water and – well, you know the rest. Bottom line, electricity and water don’t mix, right? No, not normally. Unless you’re a northeastern Buckeye, and you’re jumping on the hot tub bandwagon. And why not? Unless you’re into winter sports, it’s the only way you can enjoy these great Snow Belt winters without 15 layers of clothing. That’s part of the ambience – you’re outside and snow is falling all around you, but the steamy water evaporates the flakes long before they reach your skin. But wait – there’s more! While you’re in the tub, you can watch TV or listen to the stereo or enjoy some aromatherapy. Some of today’s hot tubs are pretty much home entertainment centers with water – depending on how far you want to dig into your wallet. First, let’s start with a couple of definitions: Hot tub: a big tub with hot water in it and jets used for hydrotherapy. Spa: see “hot tub.” Yep, they mean the same thing – nowadays. But there was a time when a hot tub was just that: a tub with hot water in it – no jets, no TVs, no glamour. Usually, it was a big wine barrel, about 6 to 8 feet in

diameter, with standing hot water, according to Justin Singer, store manager at Ohio Pools & Spas. The word “spa” hit the mainstream when jets, moving water and heating systems became regular hot tub features, Singer explains. The names are now used interchangeably, along with “Jacuzzi,” but that’s actually a brand name. Now it’s time to ask, “What do I really want a hot tub for?” Do you need a new best friend for your aching muscles? Are you looking to make your friends green with envy? If it’s the latter and you’re buying a home resort for the whole family, you’ll probably spend most of your shopping time oohing and aahing over the extra gadgets on what’s known as “recreational spas.” If, on the other hand, you need a hot tub to soothe sore muscles or help with arthritis pain, then your priorities should be water heat, water buoyancy and jet power, the heart and soul of “therapy spas.” Want it all? You can have it, if you’re willing to pay for it. Which leads to the next big question: how much money do you want to shell out? These days, you can get spas to do everything but make breakfast. Put down enough cash, and the accessories run the gamut from waterfalls to stereo systems to DVD players. These bigger guys run around $13,000 or more. If you back down a few thousand dollars (some

hot tubs are as low as $2,500), you’ll probably have to make a choice between bells and whistles or solid mechanics, Singer says. Therapy spas and recreational spas are about even in price, he adds. Materials are usually the same across the board, too. Most hot tubs are made out of a kind of plastic, similar to the famous Trex material used on decks. “It’s a simulated material,” says Singer. “It looks beautiful and wears like iron.” Now, where are you going to put it? If you’re thinking like most people, you probably want it outside on a deck or patio. Or, dare to be different. Andre Christian, a manager at Litehouse Pools and Spas, estimates only 5 to 7% of the hot tubs his store installs go inside. Four Seasons Sunrooms deals with many of those

indoor installations. The company builds air-conditioned and heated glass rooms (costing anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000-plus) that are often home to a hot tub. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like walking out in the snow to get to their spa,â&#x20AC;? says Joanne Johns, co-owner of Four Seasons Sunrooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our rooms are all glass. It gives you the feeling of being outside, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inside.â&#x20AC;? Some clients build a dual room of glass, with the spa at one end and a family room at the other, says Johns. Then there are the ones who get creative. One client had the company install a â&#x20AC;&#x153;swim spa,â&#x20AC;? for swimming laps. Another planted a hot tub in the middle of a conservatory enclosed in the glass room. Not that outside installations canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get crazy, too. A building now under construction in downtown Cleveland will install a spa on its roof. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may very well need to fly it in, in a helicopter,â&#x20AC;? Singer says. OK, you know you want a hot tub, you know what kind, and you know where to put it. But before you hit the stores, remember our unfortunate heroine in the bathtub â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water, there can be danger. Play it safe. Got kids? Good news: Hot tubs can be child-friendly, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re smart about it. In other words, you might not want to submerge them up to their necks or leave them in there for hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Use your common sense,â&#x20AC;? Christian advises. Also, hot tub water usually gets up to around 103 degrees. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put your kids in water that warm. Stick closer to the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural temperature (around 98.6

degrees) when they use the tub. Same deal if you have high blood pressure – when you increase the body temperature, you’re raising the blood flow, Christian explains. Play it safe and check with your doctor before you get friendly with the bubbles. “Listen to your body; listen to your doctor,” he says. And when it’s not occupied, consider putting a locking safety cover or even an alarm system on the tub. Some models come with those features included. One more tip: Buy from a reputable store, Singer advises. If you choose a less reliable outlet and it stops carrying the model you bought, you could be out of luck on maintenance. It’s not like a car – you can’t take your hot tub to any old dealership, regardless of make, and expect them to fix it. If a store doesn’t carry that particular brand, it can’t fix it or get parts, Singer says. Check with the Better Business Bureau, and if the company isn’t listed, it may have had problems and been removed from their list. Bubbling over with excitement now? Immersed in worries? Either way, you’re not alone. A study conducted by market research firm PK Data and the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals last year shows that more than 5 million Americans own hot tubs. Maybe it’s time to take the plunge. ❑

any people see fall as a time to close the shutters tight and hunker down for winter. Local gardening and lawn care experts disagree. Despite Cleveland’s erratic weather and unpredictable snowfalls, it is possible to create attractive fall and winter landscapes. As summer perennials fade away in the cooler weather, other colorful plants begin to thrive. “Try planting some pansies, flowering kale or cabbage, dianthus or snapdragons,” suggests Jill Cain from Chagrin Falls’ Eagle Creek Garden Center. She also recommends mums, which come in a blaze of fall colors like bronze, red, yellow and orange. Fall Magic is another variety that does well in our area (zone 5), according to Cain. “Most of the varieties will do well even after several frosts.” Wayne Impullitti with Chagrin Fallsbased Impullitti Gardens and Lawn Matters is a big fan of icicle pansies for additional color through the fall and again into early spring. Impullitti likes to take a bed planted with annuals and replant heavily with this variety of pansy. “You get great color in the fall, they overwinter, and in those nice days when the sun comes out, you can see the flowers come up a little bit. When it warms up in March, they just open up.” These annuals can then be removed in late spring and the bed replanted for summer color. There are many trees that also provide a great deal of color in the fall as their leaves change, but also add appeal throughout the winter. “We always try to incorporate trees that have interesting bark,” says Josh Tooker, a landscape architect with the

Pattie Group in Novelty. In addition to the paper bark maple and Chinese elm, “a good example of this is Stewartia. It is a small to medium, pyramidal tree with dark green leaves and small white flowers in the summer.” However, in the autumn the leaves turn scarlet, says Tooker, and its reddish brown exfoliating bark is striking against snow in winter. There are a number of other trees that provide color throughout the year, be it from their leaves, flowers or bark. “The river birch, characteristic for its bright green color in summer and yellow leaves in fall, also has exfoliating bark in winter, giving interest to your landscape,” explains Impullitti. Many plants that die back in the fall also provide attractive detail and texture to a landscape. In addition to colorful leaves falling from deciduous trees, Tooker suggests ornamental grasses that turn brown in fall. “You get wispy texture that will blow in the wind, and it is nice right through winter.” He proposes waiting until spring to cut them down. There are a number of plants, such as the oak leaf hydrangea, that have flowers that are nice when dried on the plant, suggests Tooker. Trees and shrubs with fall and winter fruit also provide color in addition to food for birds. Old standbys that cannot be forgotten when looking for color throughout the year are evergreens. Certain evergreens are very attractive when the snow hangs off the branches, says Impullitti. “Ideally, unless someone is not home, we try to make the landscape pleasing year round,” says Tooker, adding that winter becomes more important because it is often viewed from inside.

Winterizing your garden/gearing up for spring “Fall is an excellent time to plant or transplant most trees and shrubs,” according to Cain. “Plants are beginning to go into dormancy, and the soil temperature is still warm compared to the air, creating an ideal environment for root development.” Those same trees and shrubs require pruning before winter. The heavy snowfall Cleveland saw last winter and spring caused tree damage, particularly where pruning was necessary. “The heavy weight of snow and ice can be devastating,” says Jonas Pattie with the Pattie Group. He suggests having someone with an arborist background for large trees, or horticulture for small ones, assess for weak spots such as crossed branches, damage and disease. “You want someone to take them off prior to Old Man Winter ripping them off.” Perennials also require some special attention to ensure their return next year. Once they have gone dormant, they should be cut to the ground. It is also a great opportunity to do a little rearranging. “Fall is also the best time to divide perennials like hostas, daisies and daylilies,” says Pattie. Impullitti recommends taking the time to cut roses down and insulating them with

peat moss, which helps to protect them from frigid temperatures. A similar measure can be taken for the entire perennial bed. “Double or triple mulch with aged or leaf hummus,” he says. “It will break down and add nutrients and organics to the soil.” Planting bulbs is another task associated with autumn. “Planting bulbs in fall for spring bloom can be a bit of a chore,” according to Cain, “but the results in early spring are well worth the effort.” In order to save non-hardy bulbs and tubers, Cain also suggests cutting back the foliage, digging up the bulbs and storing them in dry newspaper with some peat moss in a cool, dark place. Although the garden may require a lot of attention, this is not the time to neglect the lawn. “As far as lawns go, fall is a great time to aerate your lawn,” explains Impullitti. “It allows air, water and nutrients to get down to the root zone of grass plants” and allows the root structure to get thicker. Impullitti also recommends a fall feeding to promote root growth. The nitrogen in the fertilizer will begin releasing into the ground in spring, turning the grass a deep green. Pattie also suggests cutting the lawn short, “a little below three inches, for the

last cut.” This will prevent snow mold and snow damage. Keeping leaves off the grass will also allow air to get through and prevent damage. Another step to keep in mind is winterizing sprinkler systems to prevent the lines from freezing. Pattie suggests making arrangements with a contractor early enough in the fall so that yours is not at the bottom of the list. Keep out pesky critters Deer, while beautiful animals, are not what most people would like to see eating their gardens. “Ohio has become a haven for deer, and they are destroying landscaping left and right,” says Pattie. There are some protective measures landowners can take. “Preparation for winter with deer netting and deer spray helps prevent deer from eating plants,” explains Impullitti. “If you do live in an area that has a lot of deer population, it’s worth a few dollars.” He has observed that there is a deer resistant plant list published every year, but that list is getting shorter. “When deer are hungry, they will eat anything.” Measures can be taken to protect your garden from smaller animals, too. “If you have problems with four-legged friends, try soaking your bulbs in a product called Bulb Guard before planting,” suggests Cain.

A checklist for fall gardening • September – Plant fall flowers such as mums and icicle pansies • October – Plant bulbs that will flower in the spring Cut back perennials Aerate the lawn toward the end of the month and do final fertilization Winterize sprinkler systems and water features by late October/early November Bring the lawn down to its lowest height • November – Cut roses back by mid-month and wrap them (not too early so that they don’t begin to bud again) Do a final yard clean-up Put up deer netting Wrap plantings in burlap in areas susceptible to salt damage Reduce or thin deciduous trees and evergreens once they have gone dormant • December-March – Snuggle up in front of a warm fire with a cup of hot cocoa ❑ Learn more about keeping your garden beautiful: Eagle Creek Garden Center, 440-708-0177 Impulliti Gardens and Lawn Matters, 440-543-6770 The Pattie Group-440-338-1288

Best wishes for a Happy New Year BY JANE G. LEFKO he custom of sending Jewish New Year cards probably began with the obvious, the desire to wish each other blessings in the new year, speculates Lipe Pfiefer, general manager of Artscroll Printing. The New York-based company, not to be confused with Artscroll Publishing, offers a wide variety of custom cards through websites and local stationers. With communication and travel so much slower in decades past, people started to send postcards filled with good wishes. “Some very old cards, sent from European shtetlach (small villages) bore photos, an efficient way to introduce new babies and other new members of a family to relatives far away,” he explains. “This was way before Christmas greetings.” Today’s New Year cards range from the traditional to the whimsical. Artscroll has dye cut and laser cut cards, one done in the pointillist style, even a pop-up card, all available for customizing and personalizing. A contemporary illustration of a pot of flowers is printed on paper impregnated with seeds that bloom when planted. “Judging by the children’s names imprinted on them, more young families are ordering cards,” Pfiefer points out. “Getting something in the mail is different, much more personal than simply receiving e-mailed wishes.” Doll Bloom, owner of Noteriety, located in The

celebrations

Hamptons, says newer cards offer “stunning designs in good taste.” Square shapes, colorful envelope liners, and vivid inks make these cards unique. Bloom has noticed a drop-off in the volume of Jewish New Year cards sent since she opened her first store 16 years ago. The cost of postage could be one reason for the decline. A couple of stationery companies are no longer even printing Jewish New Year cards, she says. Companies that continue to produce Jewish New Year cards are offering much more exciting papers, beautiful new watercolors and lines by Israeli artists. “These are cards you would be proud to send,” Bloom enthuses. “I am ordering mine today!” Exclusive Invites owner Amy Finkenthal blames the rising cost of printing and mailing for the fact that although “there is some really cool stuff out there,” many of her Jewish clients prefer to send generic Happy Holiday cards in December. Nevertheless, Finkenthal, who sells custom papers out of her Beachwood home, has the Artscroll New Year’s card book available. Pam Fink, a senior editor in the editorial department of American Greetings’ Creative Division says the greeting card manufacturer has just updated its 2005 line of Jewish New Year cards. Available this year are rich “autumnal, harvest colors like cinnamon and pumpkin,” as well as vibrant purples and reds. Ritual objects like a tallit worn by Fink’s late father, her parents’ honey dish, even a shofar her son received as a bar mitzvah gift, have found their way into L’Chayim To Life! cards, as well as into the Just for You! line, available exclusively at Wal-Mart.

Unusually shaped plates, painted china and out-ofthe-ordinary centerpieces make a table appealing.

Tradition with a Fall holiday tabletops mix old and new BY LILA HANFT

ong before the aroma of food wafts in from the kitchen, the artfully arranged dinner table marks a Rosh Hashanah or Thanksgiving feast as a special occasion, set apart from the soup and sandwiches of everyday life. Tradition with a twist Once upon a time, holiday dinner tables were laid with plates of fine bone china shaped and sized for each course; crystal glasses and goblets fashioned for every manner of libation; and an arsenal of sterling silver forks, spoons, knives and tongs. To set that kind of table, however, you need a full staff of silver polishers, crystal buffers, and linen launderers. Or one fastidious hostess with a pathological case of perfectionism and a lot of time on her hands. “It’s been a real cultural change” in

twist

tabletop fashions, says Rita Sachs of Mulholland & Sachs. Her customers want tabletop décor that requires far less care than that of their mothers and grandmothers. Industry-wide, consumers strapped for time are rejecting labor-intensive traditional materials like silver in favor of stainless steel and alloys which don’t need polishing. Think of it as “traditional with a twist.” Today’s hostess can combine her traditional tableware with new materials – fabrics, metals and ceramics – to express her creativity as well as cut down on her work load. In outfitting her store, Sachs takes into account the fact that that many of her customers already own a set of fine china – inherited sets or china they got when there were married. “They’re looking for ways to update and bring variety to the CLEVELAND JEWISH NEWS JSTYLE FALL 2005

table” so that it won’t look the same every year, she says. New brides, too, are selecting dinnerware with an eye to future mixing and matching. They register for dinner plates that are plain white china with a platinum band, which they combine with bowls or dessert and salad plates in a contrasting or coordinating pattern, says Sue Danford of Peter Danford Jewelers. The results can be just as fancy or breathtaking as a traditional set of china, and it makes it easy to vary tabletop décor from holiday to holiday and year to year. Glass with class Sachs likes to liven up the holiday dinner table by adding new glass pieces. Colorful or unusually-shaped dessert and salad plates make a nice complement to heirloom china, and Sachs particularly loves the new pressed glass plates in colors like amber, rose and green. “They’re almost like Granny’s old fashioned pressed glass, but they’re square-shaped and come in updated colors,” she says. Their look is “traditional but very hip.” Or choose a unique piece of handblown colored glass, perhaps a bowl or vase, as the centerpiece. “You can still use traditional clear stemware, but the colored glass in the center will liven the table,” says Sachs. For a more formal centerpiece, Marcia Schreibman of Alson says that “a fabulous piece of Lalique crystal filled with unusual flowers makes a magnificent statement.” Lalique mixes well with other crystal, like Baccarat and Val Saint Lambert, Schreibman says, creating “an elegant table.”

Heavy metal Step aside, silver. New metalware serving pieces are popular with consumers because they’re versatile and easy to care for. Schreibman thinks “pewter is wonderful … you can dress it up or down (and) it comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and finishes.” Some metalware can go from freezer to oven to table to dishwasher and still look good enough to use as a display piece. Sachs says her customers particularly like “stainless steel and alloys that look like Nambé.” Schreibman’s favorite metal for the holiday table is pewter with a satin finish because “it’s warm and suggests the piece is old and full of tradition.” Best-dressed tables Table linens are another way to reinvent a holiday tabletop. To showcase heirloom china, Carolyne Bloch at Block Bros. suggests hand-embroidered silk and taffeta tablecloths, which can be custom-made to fit the length and width of your table. The rich materials and the neutral champagne color “enhances very special third generation or antique china,” she says. A handpainted tablecloth can create a one-of-a-kind tabletop. Using the motif of your dishes, the artist develops and paints a design on washable silk that enhances and showcases your china. “A customer can really design her own tablecloth with this option,” says Bloch. In easy-care options, Block Bros. has a new tablecloth from Russia that “loves to be washed.” Available in berry, ivory, and pumpkin, the cloth’s design is “inspired by intricate Russian ironwork” and woven in flax and linen.

Clear glass combined with gold makes a stunning combination in these serving and bar accessories.

Beyond red, yellow and orange One notable feature of fall holiday tabletop fashions is its expanded color palette. Block Bros., for example, has washable woven table linens in, if you can believe it, “about 30 fall colors,” says Bloch. In addition to veritable yellow, orange, and red, fall tabletops are now colored in shades of sienna, brown, burgundy, and chocolate. Naturally, floral design has contributed to expanding the fall fashion palette. The hues and shapes of floral elements in fall arrangements have become “more sophisticated,” Tina Gudin of Prestige Floral explains. Roses and miniature calla lilies in deep reds, wines, mustard and sand colors are replacing carnations and mums in fall displays. For accents, natural elements like hypericum berries, miniature fruits (like kumquats), leafy branches, curly willow and pussy willow are popular. Gudin describes herself as a “huge candle freak”; she likes to create centerpieces that “incorporate a lot of candles in colors and hues that coordinate with the table.” (Avoid white and cream candles that contrast with other elements of the centerpiece, she warns.) Centerpiece secrets The $64,000 question of dinner table décor is how to make a holiday centerpiece that is elegant and striking, yet low enough for dinner guests to see one another. For the center, think low and dense, not tall and rangy. Displays of potted mums, full-size pumpkins or large pillar candles are better suited for a sideboard

or buffet than the dinner table. Floral centerpieces should be arranged in a base that raises them no higher than three inches from the table, advises Gudin. In lieu of tall cut flowers, Sachs suggests “floating just the tops of flowers in a beautiful bowl,” like a handmade glass Simon Pearce bowl. Sachs encourages people to think creatively about how a low centerpiece can enhance a holiday table. “I have a beautiful Lazy Susan, découpaged with images of fruits, nuts and berries, that would be gorgeous” for a fall holiday meal, she says. A natural arrangement of pine cones, twigs and moss can provide the framework for small gourds or edible fall fruit like pears and grapes. Fresh apples, of course, are the perfect centerpiece for Rosh Hashanah. Ultimately, a hostess wants her guests’ first glimpse of the holiday dinner table to be inviting. Think of table décor as the visual equivalent of an appetizer, building anticipation for the pleasures to come. It’s a whispered promise from hostess to guest that no effort has been spared to make the meal enjoyable. ❑ More great ideas for innovative table settings at: Alson Jewelers, 216-464-6767 Berger & Silver Jewelers, 216-464-5920 Block Brothers, 216-360-8600 Mulholland & Sachs, 216-295-7700 Prestige Floral, 216-595-8910 Robert & Gabriel Jewelers, 440-473-6554

crapbook: (noun) a book of blank pages for mounting newspaper clippings, pictures and souvenirs. (Webster’s New World Dictionary, Third College

Edition) Creating a scrapbook to preserve your family’s memories may seem like a thoroughly modern hobby, but the practice has been around for centuries. Thomas Jefferson put together several scrapbooks during his presidency, and writer Mark Twain invented a self-pasting scrapbook that sold more copies during his lifetime than any of his now-famous novels. Even avant-garde artist Andy Warhol embraced the scrapbook craze, elevating the humble craft to the level of fine art. But what exactly is a scrapbook? According to Kathy Czeck, owner of Family Ties Scrapbooking in Willoughby, a scrapbook is a “creative expression that allows people to preserve their family history.” “At the most basic level, a scrapbook is a book of pictures with captions describing the events in each one,” Czeck says. “It’s a great way to organize your memories and is a lot better than throwing your pictures in a box and forgetting about them.” Of course, a scrapbook can be elaborate – as elaborate as its creator envisions. Or, it may cover a variety of different events, from a wedding to the birth of a baby to simple, dayto-day family life. There is no right or wrong way to scrapbook, and – as far as Czech is concerned – anything goes. Czeck does have a few basic suggestions for people who are new to the

scrapbook phenomenon. First, collect the basic supplies you’ll need to start a scrapbook. These include a scrapbook album, scissors, a paper trimmer, scrapbook paper and photo square stickers. Czeck recommends purchasing these supplies from a scrapbook-only store or a craft-supply chain like Jo-Ann Fabrics. Pay attention to labels, she advises, to make sure the materials are scrapbookfriendly. Then, sign up for a scrapbooking class, where more experienced crafters can help you create a scrapbook your family will treasure for generations to come. “Classes can help a beginner sort through memories without feeling overwhelmed,” says Czeck. “It’s also a good idea to begin with your current photos and make an everyday scrapbook while the memories are still fresh. This will help you develop a personalized style before you try your hand at a baby or wedding album.” While scrapbooking is a popular way to commemorate any number of occasions, many families create scrapbooks to document the milestones in their children’s lives. But for scrapbook-phobic parents, there is an easier way to create a personalized album for your child without sacrificing individual style or creativity. The Story of ME, a memory album created by Brea Weisman, is a compromise between traditional scrapbooking and store-bought baby books. Each album contains 80 pre-designed pages where parents can record their child’s birth, milestones, family and medical histories and special events. With ample room for pictures and pages that can be removed and rearranged, The Story of ME allows families to create a book that reflects their particular family situation with creativity and flair.

“Not many families fit the traditional definition of what a family ‘should be,’” Weisman says. “But with this memory album, you can personalize your child’s story without starting from scratch like you would with a scrapbook. You can even remove pages that don’t reflect your child’s story and substitute something more appropriate.“ Weisman’s company Perfect Memory Publications sells “personalization kits” for families with adopted children, twins or triplets, and Jewish families who want to record their memories of Jewish holidays and celebrations. Weisman plans to release a personalization kit for Catholic families soon, as well as one for same-sex parents. But if “fussing” is what you enjoy, Czeck recommends experimenting with different media. “Once you get beyond the basic how-tos of scrapbooking, you can use water colors, chalk, acrylic paint, paper punches, or quilling to decorate your album,” she says. “It’s all about having fun and expressing your creativity in a way that appeals to you.” Select the medium that works for you, Weisman adds. A scrapbook should be something you enjoy making, as well as something your family enjoys looking at together.” ❑ For information on creating scrapbooks call: Family Ties Scrapbooking 440-942-5499 Brea Weisman, 216-360-0174

Getting ready for their scenic 40-mile ride are, from left, Steve Eisenberg, Rob Shwab,Jack Elder, Cal Kirchick, Don Crone and Mark Wallach. Dr. Lewis Klein, right, is a loyal Wheeler.

Big wheelers cycle together BY ARLENE FINE t’s a sunny Sunday morning in mid-July, and a bevy of Western Reserve Wheelers, dressed in formfitting latex and sporting sturdy helmets, are ready to begin the week’s ride. The ardent cyclists, mostly hearty men ranging in age from 50 to 81, check their tires and do stretching exercises in preparation for a 40-mile ride to Walden in Aurora. At 8:30 a.m. they wheel their bicycles into their designated group divisions of A, B, and C. The groups are defined by skill, energy level and type of ride desired. As he straps on his helmet, psychiatrist Louis Klein says, “This is my weekly escape. Once I get on my bicycle and begin the journey, the beauty of the surroundings allows me to put all thoughts of the week out of my head. I don’t solve problems; I just enjoy the moment.” A serious cyclist for years, Klein joined the Wheelers because he was tired of riding alone. Although he appreciates the solitude of nature, Klein also welcomes the spirited camaraderie of the convivial 80member group. Klein doesn’t put his bike “in

mothballs,” even during the winter months. On weekends he bikes from his East Side home to Lutheran Medical Center on West 25th. Klein had heart surgery several years ago and considers his vigorous weekly rides the “ultimate stress test.” One of the newest members of the Wheelers is Terri Lurie, the spinning instructor at the JCC. (Spinning is indoor cycling on a specialized bike pedaled to music.) “At first, I was afraid of riding outside because of safety issues,” she says. “But all the riders look out for each other. This is the nicest group of people I have ever met.” There are only four other women in the group now, and Lurie would like to see that number grow. She credits her ability to ride long distances to spinning. But spinning class and outdoor riding have fundamental differences. “Riding outdoors has a lot more environmental challenges, and you always have to be alert to your surroundings,” she says. Wheelers member Dr. Sheldon Korman rides his bike from his Mayfield Heights home to his dental office in Euclid every day. The 9-mile ride takes him about 35 minutes. Korman averages 5,000 cycling miles

a year and has biked on some of the best paths in the U.S. and Europe. Buzz Rosenfeld, 72, has been riding with the Wheelers for ten years. “My friend Alan Goodman convinced me I could ride with a compatible group of cyclists who wouldn’t kill me,” he quips. Within a few years, Rosenfeld was in such good shape from riding with the Wheelers that he participated in an organized 500-mile bike trip across Nova Scotia with his daughter and her husband. The next year they biked through Zion and Bryce National Parks, where they had a grueling 18-mile uphill climb over a 10,000-foot pass. Checking the Internet for a local cycling group was one of the first things professional retirement plan consultant Rob Schwab did when he moved to Cleveland five years ago. He found the Wheelers and within the first year was elected to the board. He credits that appointment to his youthful age (he’s 50 now) and his enthusiasm for biking. “Running can be painful; walking is boring, but I’ve never had a bad day on the bike, and I had many bad days on the golf course,” he notes. “Also cyclists can burn 600 to 700 calories an hour. I started long distance riding so I could eat anything I wanted without gaining weight.” Schwab is 5’9’’ and weighs a trim 150 pounds.

A member of the Wheeler’s “A” team, Schwab says, “We like to challenge each other on hill climbing, distance and descent speed. Being relatively new to Cleveland, it is a great way (for me) to see all the neighborhoods and outlying areas such as Waite Hill, the Holden Arboretum and the Chagrin River Valley.” At a “healthy 81,” Ed Feil is one of the original members of the Wheelers who is still pedaling. The documentary and industrial videographer credits his good health and stamina to all the years he and his wife Naomi spent cycling around Cleveland. Although Feil has taken many long rides during the years, he’s astonished at the distances today’s riders are able to tackle. “Cyclists can do amazing things on their new lighter-weight bikes.” Like Feil, Ed Reichek, 72, has been with the group since it was started under the auspices of the University Heights Recreation Department in the early 1970s. Reichek now rides in what he terms the Wheelers’ “Over the Hill” division. His 70plus age group averages 24 miles a Sunday. “We try to stay away from the hills,” he says. He also would never ride without a helmet – even around the block. Several years ago, Reichek had a bad fall when a dog ran in front of his bike. He broke his collarbone and badly

“Nobody does it like the CJN!” A Smile Makeover by Drs. Uveges & Heimke is easy, painless and can change your entire appearance overnight! Friends and relatives will wonder what’s different – a new hairstyle, sudden weight loss, plastic surgery. No one would imagine that a oneday visit to the dentist could generate image enhancing, life-changing results. A Smile Makeover takes as little as four hours to complete in a one-day office visit. The procedure starts with an initial consultation where patients can view their future smile makeover via computer imaging. Imaging allows the doctor to decide what would be the most beautiful, natural-looking smile achievable. To create a new smile without surgery or pain, Drs. Uveges & Heimke use two very effective techniques: reshaping the gum line and rebuilding the teeth with porcelain veneers. The Diode Laser reshapes the gum around the tooth in less than five seconds without bleeding, correcting irregular gum lines and lengthening the appearance of each tooth. The custom-made veneers, which are equivalent in width to a baby’s fingernail, are strong and durable and can completely change a patient’s smile.

Back to school, back to germs BY DOUGLAS J. GUTH

chools are veritable germ factories. Many germs are spread between students through contact with common surfaces such as desktops, door knobs and light switches, and by sharing food and other items. However, that’s no reason for parents to freak out and start disinfecting everything in sight, cautions local doctors contacted by the CJN. As kids head back to class, there are plenty of reasonable precautions parents can take without becoming germ-phobic. Hand washing is the best way to prevent transmission of colds and flu, notes Doug Fleck, a pediatrician with Dr. Shelly Senders and Associates at University Hospitals. It is also the best way to help prevent the spread of hepatitis A, meningitis, conjunctivitis (pink eye), and diarrheal illnesses like salmonellosis or shigellosis. However, passing your hands under the faucet with a squirt of soap won’t do the job, cautions Fleck. The appropriate technique involves vigorous rubbing for at least 20 seconds. Instant hand sanitizers such as Purell can also be used, but should not replace proper hand washing, says Dr. Steve Wexberg, staff pediatrician at The Cleveland Clinic. Parents must train their children when it comes to sharing, says Wexberg. Adolescents are natural sharers,

but sharing food, cups, pencils and other germ-prone objects can facilitate the spread of infection. Even family members should not share silverware and cups. Another way to protect your child’s health is making sure vaccinations are up-to-date. Your child should be caught up on all diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, polio, and meningitis shots before school starts, counsels Wexberg. A healthy child should get flu shots once every two years. The immune system is also affected by lifestyle, which includes a healthy diet. While restricting your child’s sugar intake, also avoid preprocessed foods, which are inordinately high in salt and fat content, explains Wexberg. “If an 11-year-old is overweight, it’s because the parents are making (these foods) available,” he says. Try to get your child’s school to stock healthy choices such as fresh fruit, low-fat dairy products, water and 100% fruit juice in the vending machines. At home, be sure to promote regular exercise, nine to ten hours of sleep a night and healthy snacks like celery, notes Fleck. ❑ For more information on healthcare, call: The Cleveland Clinic- Beachwood Family Health and Surgery Center, Steven Wexberg, M.D. 216/839-3600 Dr. Shelly Senders and Associates, 216-291-9424 Hillcrest Hospital, 440-312-4500

Wheelers continued from page 112 damaged his helmet, but he suffered no head injury. “That helmet probably saved my life,” he says. The Wheelers’ current president is Jim Gernstetter, a robust 63, who took up bicycling after playing handball for 30 years. “Bicycling has been a godsend to me. It affords me exercise and camaraderie,” he explains. In February 2004, Gernstetter had both knees replaced and was back on his bike by the end of March. The Wheelers are always on the lookout for new members with the ability to make at least a 20-mile extended ride. The $20-a-year membership includes club insurance, a yearly picnic and a subscription to Crankmail, a newsletter about local bike club activities. ❑ For more information, contact Gernstetter at 216-5871904 or e-mail him at jgernstetter@yahoo.com.

Oceania Cruises offer

BY ARLENE GOLDBERG f you were to design a “dream cruise,” you would probably list excellent cuisine, exceptional personalized service, grand style, and luxurious accommodations, coupled with extraordinary value, as requirements. Add in great entertainment and exotic ports of call. Your dream cruise ship would be intimate and comfortable with a friendly and courteous staff. What’s more, there would be no formal nights, just a dress code of “country club chic.”

Think this cruise sounds too good to be true? Think again. It’s Oceania Cruises, rated around the globe as one of the finest cruise lines. In 2004 and 2005, savvy readers of Travel + Leisure magazine chose Oceania Cruises as the “World’s Best” in their ship-size category. Oceania garnered top honors in cabins, food, service, itineraries, destinations, entertainment, activities and value. With 684 passengers and a staff of 400 professionals to serve them, these ships were originally built and titled Renaissance Cruises in the late 90s. Oceania’s three

Rounding the curves at 45 mph in the park, the car effortlessly held tight to the turns. Drive at 75 mph for more than 30 seconds, and the system adjusts for even more aerodynamic efficiency. Powered by a 40-valve, 4.2-litre V-8 engine, the A8 has a six-speed Tiptronic transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive. Gears shift smoothly, even with aggressive driving. In addition to anti-lock brakes, the car has electronic real brake-pressure as well as hydraulic brake assist. Braking is smooth with no drift or pull. Its aluminum chassis is two times the strength of regular steel. The A8 interior is sleek, sophisticated and engineered for a pleasurable driving experience.

can help you find a restaurant for dinner and then direct you to your destination turn by turn. The parking brake is activated by a push button on the raised console. Individual climate controls keep driver and passenger comfortable. The cabin is spacious and provides plenty of head and leg room in both front and rear compartments. A motorized sunscreen protects passengers from glare, as do manual roll-down shades on rear windows. The expansive glass area affords great visibility without a greenhouse feel; rather, sitting in the A8 feels more like an airplane cockpit. Seats, headrests, mirrors are infinitely adjustable, and a memory retains position so each driver can enjoy his or her own settings. One of the best features is the smart key. You can open, start and lock the car without a key; it just needs to be somewhere on your person. No more fallen briefcases or lattes left on the roof while searching for your keys. This is a car that gives the driver a feeling of confidence. The Audi A8 takes care of you in every possible way. For more information about the Audi A8, call Fred Baker Audi at 440-232-4700. ❑

Sunday brunch at fire finds Doug Katz, left, in the kitchen with his folks, Bob and Linda Katz.

Fond food memories nourish today’s chefs BY STEPHANIE GARBER others. They fill our hearts with love and our stomachs with good food. Local Jewish chefs and restaurateurs say their mother’s (and in some cases, their father’s) culinary influence inspired them to pursue their profession of choice. They savor the fond memories of home-cooked meals shared with family as much as they relished the food. You can almost hear strains of Barbra Streisand’s “The Way We Were” in the background as they reminisce. Tucking into a hearty serving of Hungarian noodle pudding is one of Doug Katz’s favorite ways to conjure up his mom’s kitchen. Katz, owner of the restaurant fire at Shaker Square, describes the rich pudding made with halushka noodles as his mom’s “most famous” recipe.

Linda Katz has a vast repertoire of mouthwatering dishes her son recalls fondly. Another of Katz’s favorites is his mother’s brisket, which she cooks in beer and serves with mushroom gravy. “She is a great cook and makes many special family recipes.” Katz spent time helping both his mom and dad in the kitchen during his formative years, enjoying it immensely. Now, his dad joins him in the kitchen of fire every week helping prepare the Sunday brunches. “Food is our life!” quips Katz. Katz’s father Bob also appears in the fire kitchen on an annual, harvest-related mission. “My dad is an amazing gardener and grows cucumbers, assorted peppers and tomatoes that he pickles every year,” he says. “He comes to the restaurant to use our [larger] facility because he has so many requests for a jar of his nowfamous pickles.” Jay Leitson, owner of Café 56 and Café 56 Grill, says he grew up in his parents’ family-owned restaurant Jason’s Steakhouse. “Jason’s opened in 1949. I was born CLEVELAND JEWISH NEWS JSTYLE FALL 2005

in 1962 and, to some degree, was pretty much raised in the kitchen there,” he notes. Leitson remembers spending a lot of time hanging around the cooks who were mostly from Louisiana and Georgia. They had their own special preparation methods and secret ingredients. Leitson appreciated being allowed into their secretive inner sanctum during those gastronomically formative years. At Michigan State Leitson majored in hotel and motel management and, after graduating, worked in several different Hilton Hotels. “Hilton only hires chefs from the Culinary Institute of America. Some were very good, and some weren’t,” he says. It was from the former that Leitson picked up more culinary skills to add to his repertoire. In 1986, Leitson returned to Cleveland and opened his own restaurants, using many recipes and dressings he developed. They reflect the influence of the Hilton years and a little bit of that wonderful New Orleans-style cooking he learned in the kitchen of his parents’ restaurant. Zack Bruell wasn’t really privy to what transpired in his mother’s kitchen. It’s the family dinner atmosphere he grew up with, specifically the philosophy that meals are to be enjoyed, that he aspires to duplicate in his restaurant Parallax. “I’m a throwback,” admits Bruell, who recalls nightly dinners that included “a salad, a starch, a protein, a vegetable, and dessert, and where no one began to eat until everyone was served and no one left the table until everyone was done eating.” Bruell especially appreciated eating as a communal experience where manners were important and courtesies like “Would you please pass ...” and “Thank you” were commonly heard. No one left the table before asking, “May I please be excused?” Jay Leitson, pictured with his mom Marlene, grew up in the kitchen at his parents’ restaurant.

CLEVELAND JEWISH NEWS JSTYLE FALL 2005

There were certainly no cell phones at the tables of yesteryear, Bruell points out. In fact, his friends knew never to call between 6 and 7 p.m. when the family was having dinner. If the phone rang, no one answered it anyway because it was simply rude to interrupt the family meal. Bruell cringes at the idea of carryout pizza and families who eat “on the fly.” There is a distinct difference between people simply feeding themselves and those who enjoy the food and the company, he says. It’s that complete dining experience he hopes people will enjoy at his restaurant. “I guess a shrink could break it down and say, ‘You’re trying to relive your childhood by striving to recreate that era,’” says Bruell. “Well ... maybe I am!” And why not? After all, that is ... the way we were. ❑

Chefs worth their salt

Sergio Abramof

BY TED S. STRATTON

s there such a thing as Brazilian-Jewish cuisine? There might be, if you ask Sergio’s chef and owner Sergio Abramof. Residence: Beachwood “I’m not bashful about using onion and garlic, and Age: 42 I’m famous for my chicken stock,” admits the jovial Family: Wife, Susan; Son, Julian, 15 foodmeister and purveyor of Cleveland’s best capirinOccupation: Chef-Restaurateur, Sergio’s ha (a cocktail of rum, mint and lemon). Favorite menu item: Chicken Passarinho Abramof grew up in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, a city north of Rio de Janeiro known for its gemstones. He Last movie seen: “March of the Penguins” moved to Cleveland at age 10, attended Cleveland Last book read: A ton of cookbooks Heights High School, and worked at Giovanni’s and his Last vacation: “Research” trip to Washington, D.C., own catering business before opening Sergio’s in 1995. New York and Chicago He remembers learning about food from his grandFavorite cuisine outside of Brazilian: Pan-Asian mother, a Russian-Jewish immigrant who trawled the Community groups: Cleveland Convention & Visitors outdoor markets of Belo Horizonte seeking the freshest Bureau, Cleveland Originals vegetables and the fattest live chickens. “All the venindependent restaurant group dors knew her name,” says Abramof. “She was a tough customer.” To give a traditional Jewish dish some Brazilian flair, Abramof ’s grandmother would add native root vegetables to her chicken noodle soup. That ability to create a delicious treat out of raw ingredients “seemed like magic to me,” he says. It’s that street market atmosphere – vendors hawking fresh sugarcane juice, meat-filled pastille pastries, and juicy mango and guava chunks on a skewer – that Abramof hopes to recreate at his new Shaker Square restaurant, Sergio’s Samba Kitchen, scheduled to open in November. A major anchor of the Northeast quadrant of Shaker Square, the new operation takes up almost half of the former Joseph-Beth Booksellers. It features a 25-seat bar, a raw bar, and seating for 165 diners. In addition, there is a seasonal dining tent and a 100-seat patio with a stage for planned live music. “We’ve been working on it for more than a year,” says Abramof. “We’re very excited about it. It should be very casual and welcoming to families and neighborhood friendly.” The dining/entertainment complex is quite a step up from the old Sergio’s locale in University Circle, a building a kind-hearted real estate agent would call “cozy.” That location will remain open, as well. Abramof has given back to Cleveland through the Convention & Visitors Bureau and as president of Cleveland Originals, a network of 60 local independent restaurants that helps individual owners hold their own against the big chains. Abramof has negotiated bulk ingredient buying agreements for the group, whose purchasing power approaches $10 million a year. When not working at the restaurant, Abramof likes to go on walks where he bounces ideas off his wife Susan, a former English teacher who “has a wonderful food sense.” At home, he doesn’t like to cook fancy, preferring a simple grilled steak and salad rather than the latest herb-roasted capon from the pages of Bon Appetit. “When you get it right, it’s delicious,” he says. “Sometimes the simplest dishes are the hardest.” Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of profiles on Jewish chefs, to be featured in each issue of jstyle.
