[ letter from the editor ]
You simply cannot beat the fall season for clothes. There is something about the colder weather that is exciting and revitalizing, a mood captured on this issue’s style pages. Shoppers are eager to get to the stores for coldweather wear, or to raid their off-season closets and haul out the boots and sweaters they already own. Part of it, I’m convinced, is that at some subliminal level, fall elicits the excitement we felt as kids about to start the first day of school. The other part is simply that fall clothes offer so many possibilities. You can layer and accessorize. In summer, all you really want to do is shed clothing. No scarves, no boots, no jewelry; they’re just annoyances when the humidity outside is 83 percent! Additionally, this year’s fashions are going to be really fun. That’s because they harken back to the ’60s and ’70s, featuring the colors baby boomers grew up with: camel (which they’re calling toffee), burgundy (which they’re calling wine) and navy, which, mercifully, they have left alone. It’s not only the colors that are back, but also the styles: fringe, embroidery, suede and bell bottoms—sometimes all at the same time (think Twiggy on Carnaby Street). Also out there to help us relive our youth are the belted trench coat (picture Barbara Felton in Get Smart), the sweater dress, mod dots and round sunglasses, à la John Lennon. Throw in a beanbag chair and a lava lamp, and it’s every boomer’s freshman year. How cool is that?

CALLING ALL Designers & DiYers
After an electrical fire destroyed his family’s trailer, Tim Coleman took out a loan
against his land to build a new home, but had only enough money for three concrete walls. “The job I had at a lumber yard didn’t pay much,” Coleman says, “and I had no way of finishing the house.” Out of options, he and his family lived in an old school bus parked next to their half-completed home. A year later, a friend put the Colemans in touch with Rural Parish Workers of Christ the King, a group of Catholic women who help more than 3,000 poor residents of Washington County each year. Through its network of supporters, Rural Parish Workers gave the Colemans materials to finish their home. “They really made a difference in our lives,” Coleman says. “We’d still be in the bus if it wasn’t for them.” Stories like this inspired Laura Butsch to join Friends of the Rural Parish Workers, an organization dedicated to supporting the nonprofit’s efforts. “I love that the group not only gives things away, but it also gives people a means to help themselves,” Butsch says. “That creates a new legacy for families for generations to come.” Now in her 20th year with the group, Butsch is chairperson for this year’s Friends of the Rural Parish Workers Luncheon and Fashion Show at The Ritz-Carlton Oct. 9. Started 48 years ago by a dozen Saint Louis University alumnae, the fashion show has grown to include 45 committee members and more than 600 attendees. This year’s event begins at 10 a.m. with clothing and art vendors, followed at noon by cocktails and lunch. The runway show, produced by Sean Phillips, creator of stlouisinstyle.com, and emceed by Elizabeth Tucker, features the latest fall fashions from Chesterfield Mall and West County Center. Participating stores include American Girl, Ann Taylor, Camille Le Vie, Evereve, Francesca’s, The Limited, Lindberg, White House Black Market and other fashion retailers from both shopping centers. “You feel like you’re at a runway show in New York, Paris or Milan,” Butsch says. Archbishop Robert Carlson will attend the luncheon, and 2015 Miss Missouri Rebecca Dunn will serve as a celebrity model in the runway show. Although the Rural Parish Workers receives money from the Archiocese of St. Louis, the annual fashion show provides much of the funding for the group’s projects. “They truly rely on us because it’s a big part of their budget each year,” Butsch says. Money raised from the event helps provide families like the Colemans with basic needs, including shelter, food, clothing and medical supplies. It’s also used to support such services as a food pantry, self-help work programs, and educational, religious and social activities. “What most people don’t realize is there are more impoverished people living in rural parts of America than in the inner cities,” Butsch says. “Rural Parish Workers is not just giving a hand out, they are empowering these families to end the cycle of welfare.”

The critter caught in a Ballwin condo complex lake last month was described on TV as a ‘young crocodilian.’ Opportunistic gator hunters, chill out. Apparently it isn’t big enough to make a pair of shoes or handbag out of, unless you’re thinking of outfitting Barbie, the doll with the anatomically impossible figure. A pest control company hooked the interloper with some icky chicken parts, and will hold onto it until a rescue group can relocate it to warmer climes. The pest control folks were calling it a caiman, but someone at the zoo would only go so far as “baby crocodilian.” Used to be you could get one of these fierce-looking little fellers at a pet store. Problem is, they get bigger and not so cute (not that I would ever call them cute). At any rate, the crocodilian wasn’t talking, because the TV station said there was ‘no word’ on how it got there in the first place. One thing for sure: It didn’t winter here, at least not outside, because it wouldn’t have survived our weather. So don’t worry about a crocodilian infestation. Ever get a little disoriented in Forest Park, and drive around awhile before you finally reach your destination within, despite the great directional signs and the enthusiastic, if unhelpful, instructions from the passenger/back seats? No need to get all cattywampus in the green jewel of the StL anymore: Now there’s a website and an app for that—forestparkmap.org. Not only does it help get you where you want or need to go, from a wedding reception at the Jewel Box to an Omnimax movie at the Science Center, but it provides details

on numerous sites within the park, whether Wildlife Island or Grace Taylor Broughton Sculpture Garden. The former you can access via paddleboat. The latter is a new and artfully created exterior environment for much of SLAM’s 20th-century and contemporary sculpture, situated within ‘rooms’ defined by some 400 newly planted trees. Its design imagined walls of the museum extended into the environment, as conceived by French landscape architect Michel Desvigne. It is immediately south of the East Building. We know all this not only because of the map, which provides directions, but by homing in closer and clicking one of the ‘live’ buttons that provide details on many, many sites within the park. The map also pinpoints dozens of picnic areas and lets the clicker or clickerette know whether the tables are within covered structures. This finely engineered, Web-based doodad comes to you compliments of Forest Park Forever … which also reminds virtual visitors that it’s ‘New Member September’! Taste of St. Louis will mark its second installment out of downtown Sept. 18 through 20, so hitch up the wagon and head west to Chesterfield this weekend. Actually, there’ll probably already be a big ol’ wagon there sometimes during the event, pulled by the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales. Kids love ’em. Adults think they’re awesome, too. There’ll be food. There’ll be music. There may even be beer. (I know, right?) [ TT Trivia ] When did 18-year-olds get the vote?
And folks should be hollering during the chef battles throughout the weekend, which will feature some of the metro’s brightest culinary stars … • Jessie Gilroy from The Tavern • Carl Hazel from The Scottish Arms • Robert Sills from Savannah Grille • Aaron Baggett from Edgewild • D. Scott Phillips from Balaban’s • John Perkins from Juniper • Chris Tirone from Quincy Street Bistro • Bob Colosimo from Eleven Eleven Mississippi (Sure hope they’re careful with their implements, based on the ones we’ve seen in their portraits. You could poke your eye out with those things!) The Taste was downtown for a decade, then moved to Chesterfield’s Central Park last year with nationally famous chefs and musical acts. The sound at the amphitheater is delightful; there’s room for you, your extended family, and even their extended family’s extended families. Plus, I hear that getting in and out, and parking, are no problem compared to, say, Riverport. And it’s free. So is the entertainment. Chris Janson, Missouri native and country star with the No. 3 Billboard hit Buy Me a Boat, will perform at 8:30 p.m. Friday night (Sept. 18). Brooklyn alt-rock quartet Bear Hands will be the headliner on Saturday night. Mix Master Mike of the Beastie Boys, named one of the greatest all-time DJs by USA Today, also will play Saturday night. No concerts are scheduled on Sunday. But there’ll be a 45-minute Dillard’s fashion show both nights right before the headliner. You’ve been warned.
Last issue’s answer: Washington university’s Skandalaris Center for Interdisciplinary Innovation and Entrepreneurship was founded in 2003. SLU’s Center for Entrepreneurship was founded in the previous century … in 1987.

Chesterfield
Our town’s Vincent Price was much more than a famous actor in horror movies. He and his wife were gourmets. Their 1965 cookbook, A Treasury of Great Recipes, which had been long out of print, has been brought back to life … well, reprinted … to mark its 50th anniversary. It has been enhanced with a retrospective preface by daughter Victoria Price and an introduction by uber chef Wolfgang Puck. Think you’re in the know about cookbooks? Well, did you realize that Treasury was reportedly the eighth most-sought-after out-ofprint book in North America? And, according to Saveur magazine, it’s more than a book—it’s an historic event! Saveur named the 1965 edition to its compilation of
the ‘100 Most Important Culinary Events of the 20th Century.’ (Hmm … wonder how many of them Julia Child was involved with?) But this book is not all hoity-toity: It covers everything from Europe’s haute cuisine to the hot dogs at Dodger Stadium. (I’ll take mine from Yankee Stadium, thank you, with Gulden’s mustard.) Price’s career spanned seven decades; some may not have seen him in The Invisible Man from the ’50s, others may have been startled by his evil laugh at the end of Michael Jackson’s Thriller. And if you haven’t seen him in Edward Scissorhands, you need to download and watch it right now. Tim Burton directed the 1991 horror fable, which was released in 1991, two years before Price’s death … oh-so-close to Halloween of 1993 (Oct. 25). Victoria Price is slated to be in town Oct. 9 for a book signing, and Oct. 10 for a Tenacious Eats installment, in which the movie for foodies will be Theatre of Blood, starring her late father. Participants may consider dressing in costume for the event at 5700 Leona St. When I noticed that ‘Celebrate the Vote’ was held last month at Llywelyn’s in Webster Groves, it brought me up short. What was I missing? Well, an event from nearly a century ago. The event was to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the 19th Amendment being ratified. Women got
the vote on Aug. 26, 1920. And it was all because a legislator in Tennessee changed his vote, says Rebecca Now, an historian and speaker who has kept the days of suffrage alive and was a prime mover in the Llywelyn’s event. Thirty-five of the necessary 36 states had ratified the amendment, but in the Tennessee statehouse, it didn’t look good for the women. That young man’s vote at first was ‘nay.’ But he had a letter from his mother in his pocket that encouraged him to do the right thing, and voted ‘yea.’ See, listen to your mother. Based in Wildwood, Peak Resorts has raised more than $50 million to fund future construction projects! I sure was excited, until I saw that the work will be done at the Mount Snow resort in Vermont, not Hidden Valley like I’d misthought. Oh, snap. I was hoping that $50 million would pay for the addition of 1,000 more vertical feet to the mountain here in Missouri. But this sizable chunk of change, from foreign investors, is earmarked for more snow-making capacity to open the slopes earlier at the northeastern ski area. Hidden Valley is one of Peak’s 13 properties, most of which are located in the Northeast and elsewhere out here in the Great Flyover, I mean the Midwest. Nebraska and Iowa are part of the Great Flyover, i.e., states you fly over on your way to Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and other ski country destinations.

Oscar-winning actress Julianne Moore will serve as
ambassador this year for Saks Fifth Avenue’s Key to the Cure campaign,
Have you ever heard the expression ‘If
children don’t know, they will give it a go?’ While on vacation in the Georgia mountains, a friend said this and it stopped me in my tracks. It means most kids are willing to try just about anything until we get a hold of them and instill fear. I am not suggesting we ignore things like stranger danger, killer bees and rabid dogs, but maybe we’ve made ourselves and our kids afraid to try anything new. I am a first-class worrier. In fact, my kids will tell me what’s bothering them, so I can do the worrying for them and they don’t have to. So I wondered if I could get that childlike feeling back, the one that makes you excited to try new things, to ‘give it a go.’ I decided I would do this while on vacation. First up was a visit to Tallulah Gorge State Park. The name alone conjures up a variety of my phobias: water, suspension bridges, nature—but I was pretty certain after taking a look around at the other park visitors, many in flip-flops, that I could at least handle the hike. It consisted of about a million metal steps. I am not lying about the number. Seriously, a million, maybe two. I had no problem crossing the suspension bridge over rapidly flowing water, even when some of the other visitors caused it to swing. So no problem with the nature part. But I couldn’t do the million or two metal steps. Uh-uh. Instead, I ended up lying in the air conditioned visitors center with a nice park employee pouring water on a rag to cool me off as I reconsidered my newfound life motto. But I wasn’t ready to give up yet. The next challenge was jumping into a lake from the second story of a dock. I have a few rules, and near the top of the list is this one: Don’t swim in water where other organisms make their homes. That means no rivers, no lakes, no oceans. Another one is don’t jump off anything or onto anyone. As I stared at the lake I thought perhaps I could break one of my rules? I slowly lowered myself into the lake from the dock and floated around trying not to think about the creatures beneath. Yuck. The final thing I was going to have ‘a go’ at was boating. I like boats, as long as they are the size of The Love Boat and have Captain Stubing at the helm and Issac at the bar. Smaller boats, not so much. There are far too many unknowns, including sinking, crashing and pirates. The one thing I didn’t count on was motion sickness, which on a pontoon boat, over the side rails, is not so pretty. My few days of living as a child willing to give everything a go was hard. Because of my age, and (I’ll say it) my wisdom. I can’t unknow what I know. I knew the knowns and the unknowns, but far scarier were the unknowns I didn’t know. And when I start quoting Donald Rumsfeld, well, we should all know that it is time to end my experiment.

To prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
meet susanne shepherd
of frontenac | volunteer
by karyn meyer Q| How long have you been a volunteer? a| For more than 60 years! I started in 1954, when I was a student at Mount Vernon Junior College in Washington, D.C.
(now The George Washington University’s Mount Vernon campus). Volunteering is important. It gives you a reason to get up in the morning. Your mind forgets any troubles you might have. I’ve gotten my kids involved in philanthropy also. One of my daughters, Susan Ittner, volunteers with the Red Cross and is on the board. It’s good to pass on these efforts to the next generation.
Q| What made you interested in this particular cause? a| I was involved with a student group at college called Lend a Hand, and through that, the Red Cross would pick us up and
take us to military hospitals to entertain the troops by reading to them, playing bridge or pingpong, things like that. It wasn’t until we had gone a few times that my friend pointed out they were locking the doors behind us—we were in the psych ward! But there wasn’t anything ‘psych’ about these men; they all were really sharp. My mother volunteered with the Red Cross during the war, helping with blood drives and serving meals to the troops with my dad, who was in the Rotary. I’d always tag along and help out.
Q| What kind of volunteer work are you involved with? a| When I moved back to St. Louis after college, I heard about the Junior League through my mom
and friends, so I joined. When I needed to choose a volunteer job, I picked the Red Cross. They train you in many different areas. I started out at Children’s Hospital and then, since my husband is a Shriner, I started volunteering at Shriners Hospital for Children and was in charge of the Red Cross volunteer training program there for about 20 years. I started out with one day a week, then it moved up to three, then five. I was running it from my kitchen table, all while raising three kids! We had a lot of retired school teachers volunteer at the hospital, and they did great work. I thought they should be recognized, so I started planning luncheons and handing out pins, and they loved it. I became the only volunteer helping in the X-ray department, so it became a full-time job, and now it’s my sole responsibility at the hospital, which has since moved to Washington University Medical Center. I also send out thank you letters to people who make donations to the Red Cross, sometimes 400 a week! And I’m involved in the Tiffany Circle, which is a group of women who donate at least $10,000 every year, and many also volunteer.
Q| If you could do anything for the organization, what would it be? a| I would spread the word that we do really good things, and I’d ask people to put us in their

will. You can always depend on the Red Cross. Its volunteers are the first to arrive when there is a fire or disaster, no matter who you are or where you live. We don’t get any financial assistance from the government; it’s all volunteer work and money coming in from the goodness of people’s hearts. Everybody involved with the organization has such a positive attitude. It’s just pure goodness.
In the Words of the American Red Cross: “Over the last 60 years, there are few jobs Susanne has not tackled. She has done whatever it takes to make the Red Cross more effective in our community, from serving Thanksgiving meals to service men and responding to disasters to working blood drives and coordinating volunteers at Shriners Hospital.” is a proud sponsor of the T&S Reaching Out awards

[LOVE HEALS Magdalene st. louis

by stephanie zeilenga
Women arrive to Magdalene House emotionally bruised and broken,
survivors of horrific experiences. Some come from prison, some have been on the streets for years, living lives of addiction, sex trafficking and abuse. Going far beyond simply providing creature comforts, the nonprofit residential program gives them the keys to healing and rebuilding their lives, offering hope for a brighter future. The simple philosophy behind Magdalene House’s mission is powerful: love heals. It accepted its first residents this June; each was given a key to the house, a warm meal and a welcome basket. The intensive, two-year program includes outpatient therapy, as well as education and vocational training and employment opportunities. The end goal, explains executive director Tricia Roland-Hamilton, is for each woman to cultivate an honest, sober and self-sufficient life. Magdalene House helps fill an acute need in St. Louis, one of the top 20 cities in the country for sex trafficking, Roland-Hamilton says. The women it takes under its wings often have nowhere else to turn, literally. “We’re the only entity of our kind in the region that serves adult women coming out of lives of sex trafficking, violence and early childhood trauma,” she notes. “On average, our women are first sexually exploited under the age of 10, and they haven’t completed school because they’ve gotten tied up in a life of unfortunate circumstances.” The nonprofit is an offshoot of Magdalene Nashville, which has been transforming women’s lives for nearly two decades. Although not religiously affiliated, Magdalene St. Louis includes an interfaith collaboration of varying clergy to help support the women on their healing journey. It purchased its Old North St. Louis home in 2014, then spent the next year transforming the four-story, 10,000-square-foot space into a serene, beautiful haven. It can accommodate up to 11 residents and currently houses six women. It includes large, sunlit bedrooms, communal living areas, multiple kitchens and a library. To raise much-needed funds—the organization is entirely privately funded—Magdalene House will host a major fundraiser, A Time to Heal, Nov. 8 at the Contemporary Art Museum. “The women will be writing a play and songs for the evening, and there will be a performance. Our focus that night is all about who our women are,” Roland-Hamilton says. The goal of the free evening, she adds, is to attract corporate sponsorships and pledges. The women at Magdalene House have a hard road ahead, but they’re not on the journey alone. Magdalene House is a true community, Roland-Hamilton says, with a dedicated and passionate staff helping them every step of the way. In fact, the staff believes so fervently in the nonprofit’s philosophy—love heals—that many of them have inked it permanently on their forearms. “We relate to our women as equals,” Roland-Hamilton says. “We’re in this together, and we’re all learning and building this community together. We do a lot of crying in this house, and we do a lot of laughing, too.”
Magdalene House is a residential program designed for women recovering from prostitution, sex trafficking, abuse and addiction.

cover story
Shopping malls are known for offering hundreds of big-brand stores all under one roof. West County Center is no exception, with marquee department stores like Macy’s and Nordstrom and popular chain stores like J Jill and Gap. Situated among all the famous national retailers, however, are a surprising number of locally owned boutiques. “This is not your run-of-the-mill shopping center,” says Sean Phillips, regional marketing director of CBL & Associates Properties, which owns and operates West County Center. “Our lineup of locally owned businesses is second to none in St. Louis.” About 10 percent of West County Center’s total store count is locally owned or operated, Phillips says. These are one-of-a-kind local businesses, like The Foundrie, Stitches & Littles, Geranium, Di Olivas and Sweet & Sassy. “These unique stores are an important part of the overall mix,” Phillips says. “They offer something different that you won’t find elsewhere.” Standing out from the crowd was a selling point for Shelah McClymont, who moved her shop, The Foundrie, into West County Center earlier this year. It sells handmade gift items from indie artists and designers. “It’s a good fit for us,” she says. “We provide a place for people who want to buy something that’s one of a kind and not mass produced.” Although shoppers often are “mildly confused” when they stumble upon her boutique among the larger retailers, McClymont says many have
Shelah McClymont, owner of The Foundrie at West County Center
become loyal fans of her unique wares. “When you come to the mall, don’t dismiss a store just because you haven’t heard of it before. Give the locally owned businesses a try because you might be pleasantly surprised at what you find.” In addition to their unique inventories, locally owned stores bring a sense of community to West County Center, Phillips says. Mom-and-pop shops are less bound by bureaucracy than national retailers, which means they can be more innovative, says Michael Charlton, co-owner of Stitches & Littles. His designer children’s clothing store offers a baby sign language class and hosts princess tea parties and book signings each month. “It’s more than just shopping—it’s an experience,” he says. “We really focus on the customer and try to build family bonds. We want to give something back to the community.” Although locally owned and big-brand retailers are different in many ways, Charlton says they’re cut from the same cloth. “Small businesses are a backbone of this country, and all the bigger companies at this mall were small businesses at one time.” Regardless of size, CBL focuses on having the right mix of stores for its upscale clientele. “The local-owned boutiques meet our customers’ needs by offering unique, and in most cases, handmade products, thus filling in any gaps in the offerings by our national retailers” Phillips says. “That’s why we always say West County Center provides the ultimate shopping experience in St. Louis.”

House Chili, Monty Burger, Shrimp Po’Boy Wrap, Southwest Crab Cakes
As you pull up to the shopping center at the southeast corner of Manchester and Clarkson roads, its busy commercial character doesn’t lend itself to a quiet, home-style meal. Yet that is just what Monty’s American Grill offers. Launched in early 2015 by the same two St. Louisans who opened Monty’s Sandwich Company downtown a few years back, this Monty’s has a larger menu, with most offerings house-made from scratch. The ambience inside is that of a modern and modest sports bar, while a large side patio offers an outdoor option under a covering with ceiling fans. A starter of Southwest Crab Cakes ($12) certainly got our attention when two large, well-fried patties appeared filled with plenty of good-quality crab and topped with chipotle aioli. These were a cut above most served around town, especially at this price. The House Chili, $4 for a ‘cup’ that I questioned twice to see if it was actually a bowl, is excellent. It has just the right amount of bite, plenty of chili flavor and salt, and is meaty with plenty of beans. Our Monty Burger ($11) was similarly tasty and satisfying: the half-pound patty is a blend of brisket and
chuck on a nice, fresh bun and comes with choice of hand-cut fries, chips or coleslaw. Also included were lettuce, tomato, onion and nice, long sandwich pickles; melted American cheese topped the burger. The fries were really good, very crunchy. A side of slaw ($3) contained sunflower seeds, an odd touch, and it needed more dressing and seasoning. Another surprise hit was the Shrimp Po’Boy Wrap ($10), since I always expect wraps to be dry and dull. This one had a fresh wheat tortilla and was filled with jumbo steamed shrimp, shredded lettuce, cheddar, bell pepper, buttermilk-fried onions and sweet chili sauce. The crisp onions and tangy-sweet sauce really worked well with the shrimp and greens. Sandwiches rule here, so do not pass them up. The America’s Club ($10.50) is a delicious feast between sliced bread. Layered with smoked turkey breast, thick-cut bacon, cheddar, lettuce and tomato, two pieces of good-quality white bread (and one in the middle), are toasted and spread with mayo. The result is totally satisfying, especially the bacon, which is

very meaty and slightly sweet. Sandwiches come with a pickle spear (although ours were forgotten!) and choice of fries or slaw. The fries are stellar, crisp and pleasantly oily. Another sandwich, the Southwest BLT ($14), was similarly scrumptious with a massive crab cake mashed inside a buttery brioche-type bun. First, the crab cake was lump meat, always a big plus. And the Southwest elements did not overwhelm, also a plus when you consider how delicate crabmeat is and that you never want to obscure its flavor. It was made with some black beans, corn and poblanos, and the bun was spread with chipotle aioli. The same thick bacon was also included, as well as lettuce and tomato. For dessert, a slice (more like a slab) of Carnegie Deli cheesecake ($8) was creamy and heavenly. It came with a light dose of blueberry sauce, also good. I can’t, however, recommend the Fried PB&J Ice Cream Sundae ($6); it had nondescript ice cream, whipped ‘topping,’ a couple of sticky sauces and wedges of grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Lobster mac and cheese
LEISURE by jorie taylor
happy [hour I am taking a break from alcoholic beverage options to talk about what to drink when you’re not drinking. Most are familiar with the ‘mocktail.’ Many restaurants put care into concocting a special formula for guests who order these, while many others just grab the first three juices available and pour. While I was pregnant with my son, I traveled to Atlanta and saw an old friend behind the bar. I knew I could count on him, and what arrived at my table was a simple glass bottle accompanied by a glass of ice. I popped open the bottle, letting out a small cloud of pent-up CO2, poured and sipped. Lo and behold, he had sent me a bottle of his housemade ginger beer! (Ginger beer is nonalcoholic, although there are alcoholic versions.) It was delightful in its simplicity. Fresh, bright and brazenly ginger-y, I felt very cared for in that moment. As my friends sipped their Provencal rosé, I happily ordered a second bottle. The prospect of making your own soda may sound daunting, but I promise it is simply a matter of trial and error, all dependent on the size of your vessel and temperature of your house. You can always just make a syrup and pour club soda over the top. Tools: Swing top glass bottles 2 quart-size canning jars Cheesecloth Rubber bands Long-handled spoon
Peach Kefir 4 c. water 4 ½ T. turbinado or coconut sugar 1 to 3 T. water kefir grains 1.5 oz. lemon juice 2 fresh peaches, diced
» Dissolve sugar in water on medium heat. Let cool completely. » Place syrup in canning jar, add kefir grains and cover with cheesecloth using rubber bands to secure. Let sit at room temperature for 48 hours. This will ferment, but not enough to make the beverage alcoholic. Strain the liquid into the other quart container. Add lemon and peach, and let sit for two more days at room temperature, covered. Strain mixture into swing top bottles. Let sit at room temperature one to three days out of direct sunlight. Refrigerate to halt fermentation before it becomes alcoholic. Consume within one month.

Apronomics the og: St. Louis Women’s Craft Beer Collective ]

by stephanie zeilenga | photos by bill barrett
St. Louis has always been a beer town, but recent years have seen a
huge renaissance of the craft beer scene. Although the industry tends to be male-dominated, that doesn’t mean St. Louis women aren’t getting in on the game, too. Helping local women learn about all things beer is The OG: St. Louis Women’s Craft Beer Collective. Founded in early 2014, the unique nonprofit is dedicated to empowering women in the craft beer community through a variety of fun, educational events. The group meets monthly at Flying Saucer downtown. Discussions focus on everything and anything beer related, such as beer and food pairings and technical aspects of the brewing process. Tastings, of course, are always included. For a meeting on beer and chocolate, ingredients like cocoa powder and cocoa nibs were passed around, followed by a sampling of beers using different types of chocolate. Monthly meetings cost $5 for members and $7 for nonmembers; an annual membership is $25. The OG’s co-founders, Abbey Spencer, Kathy DeLassus and Elizabeth Jenkins, formed the group after discovering they all loved craft beer but felt they lacked a forum for learning more about it. “By that time I had been pretty involved in beer organizations in town and also was involved with my homebrew club,” Spencer says. “I felt there was a need for women to band together to learn from one another and get more involved in the industry.” It’s a topic all three women are passionate about, Spencer says. “Beer kicks wine’s ass. There are more than 150 styles of beer, and there’s no food on this
planet you cannot pair with it—you can’t say the same thing with wine or spirits. There’s always something exciting coming out, and I love finding beer that people enjoy.” Although The OG (whose initials don’t stand for anything in particular) hosts occasional co-ed events, monthly meetings are women-only, which allows for a more open, comfortable conversation, Spencer says. “We often focus on tech topics during our meetings, and those are the topics where men often have a lot to say, which I appreciate, but some women might not feel as comfortable asking random questions in that environment,” she notes. “We wanted our meetings to be laid-back, a safe space to let it all out.” Since its founding, the group has become a familiar sight at beer-centric events. This spring, the women brewed their first commercial beer, Fraise Cassée, a strawberry saison (farmhouse ale). The OG developed the original recipe and brewed it with the help of Six Row Brewing Company. Although the saison is no longer available in stores, The OG is currently planning the release of its second commercial beer. This time, the group will work with Charleville Vineyard & Microbrewery in Ste. Genevieve to produce an oatmeal porter, expected to be released in early 2016. In November, The OG hosts a wine versus beer showdown. The event will feature a sommelier and its beer equivalent, a certified cicerone, choosing beer and wine to pair with six courses. Event-goers will sample the pairings and vote on which they prefer. The location and charity beneficiary are to be determined.

is a lot like much of the author’s writing: amusing, but lacking depth. Robert Redford stars as Bryson, a 70ish curmudgeonly writer who decides to walk the Appalachian Trail. The only friend who agrees to tag along is Stephen Katz (Nick Nolte), an overweight mess of a man. The two traversed Europe together decades earlier and parted on less-than-great terms. While the premise is promising, the film disappointingly relies on lowbrow humor and silly gags. The characters renew their friendship, but don’t appear to learn much from their experiences, other than perhaps they don’t like hiking so much
after all. A film about hiking should provide plenty of fodder for conversation between the two characters, but we never get to glimpse much beyond the surface. There’s a little reminiscing about past trips, a little (lewd) talk about women … but not much else. Although there are some lovely shots of Appalachia, overall it lacks the picturesque beauty one would hope for in a story with this setting. Emma Thompson plays a supporting role as Bryson’s wife and, as always, she is lovely.

DROOPING BREASTS
Breast sagging can plague us as we age; or after breastfeeding or weight loss. When your breasts no longer match the rest of your body—or self image—a lift may be the answer for restoring them to a more youthful shape and position. Doctors warn, however, that a lift alone may not be enough for many women. Weigh the Options While women with large breasts may benefit from only a lift, very often the procedure is combined with an augmentation, says Dr. Terry Myckatyn, a Washington University plastic surgeon. A breast lift addresses only nipple position; without also changing breast volume and shape, many women will be disappointed with their results. “Sometimes women come in saying they want a lift because they don’t want to be larger, but they actually also need a small implant to get a more youthful look,” Myckatyn says. The best way to determine which procedure is right for your chest is to consult with a trained plastic surgeon. Browsing before and after photos can help you narrow down the results you want and help your doctor choose an appropriate course of action. Some physicians are able to photograph your breasts and use software to simulate how they would look after a lift, augmentation or both. It’s common to do a breast lift and augmentation in stages, says Dr. Christina Plikaitis, a SLUCare plastic

surgeon. “Although they are often combined, it can be beneficial to do the lift first without the implant and then, if the patient wants more fullness, you can do an augmentation as a second surgery.” A Matter of Time Before picking up the phone to schedule a breast lift, take a look at your breasts in the mirror. Have the nipples dropped below the level of the crease, where the breast attaches to the chest? If so, says Myckatyn, it’s a good sign you’re a candidate for the procedure. He says women with asymmetrical breasts, where one is lower than the other, may also benefit from a lift. These telltale signs don’t appear only with advanced age. Although 50- to 70-year-old women have breast lifts, the procedure is most common among women in their 30s and 40s who are anxious to get their bodies back in shape after having children, Plikaitis says. “This is a tool to improve their breasts, which no amount of weight loss or exercise is going to do,” she explains. “It can restore something they feel they lost after
pregnancy or weight loss.” Breast lifts also can create symmetry for women who’ve experienced breast changes due to cancer. What to Expect Think a breast lift is right for you? Be prepared for a bill of at least $5,000 (more to add an implant), and know that insurance typically doesn’t cover the costs. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, takes less than two hours and usually involves an overnight hospital stay, Myckatyn says. He says most people experience only mild pain and can get back to work in a week and resume exercise in four to six weeks. It’s important that patients also understand the surgery will leave scars, Plikaitis adds. “We try to put them in inconspicuous areas,” such as around the nipple, from the nipple to the breast crease, or along the crease—all of which a bra will cover. “The tradeoff for the improvement in breast shape and nipple position is scarring. It fades in six to 12 months, and patients are usually very happy with the results.
SAGGING FACE
Age announces itself on our faces through wrinkles, sagging skin and loss of fullness. Not surprising, a face-lift is among the five most requested cosmetic surgeries, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Although it won’t turn back the clock to your teen-aged self, a total lift can unveil a younger version of you.
Face the Facts When minimally invasive procedures using injectables, ultrasound or radiofrequency are no longer enough to keep your face glowing, it may be time to graduate to a lift, says Dr. William Hart of Hart Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery Institute. “There is a spectrum of things to consider when looking at facial rejuvenation. Topical treatments of the face will affect fine-line wrinkling and pigmentation alterations, but that’s about it.” For major gravitational changes that cause loss of volume and sagging skin, a face-lift is typically the best solution, Hart says. Significant signs of aging appear at different times, depending on a person’s ethnicity, genetics, sun exposure and smoking history. In general, however, women in their 50s and 60s are the most likely candidates for face-lifts, says Dr. Gregory Branham, a Washington University facial plastic surgeon. “When you get to the perimenopausal period, you lose hormonal support,
and it’s hard to continue to correct the associated signs of aging without surgery.” There is also an increasing number of men undergoing face-lift procedures. Know the Costs Before going under the knife, consider the financial and physical costs of a face-lift. Branham says while minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedures are in the $3,000 range, a full face-lift will typically run about $10,000. It’s also an investment of time. Surgery takes four to six hours, and patients usually go home the same day or after one night in the hospital. Expect to wear a supportive head dressing for a week or two, Branham says, adding “You are typically confined to home for the first week.” There can be bruising, swelling or pinkness for a few weeks, but makeup often can hide those telltale signs. People typically resume normal activities within a month. “Most people think it’s a bigger, more involved procedure than it
actually is,” Hart says. “They are pleasantly surprised at how quickly afterward they get back to feeling good.” Get Real A face-lift can tighten the skin of the jaw and neck to create a sleeker profile with minimal scarring, Branham says. “The higher or lower you move away from the jawline, the less change there will be.” Facelifts are commonly performed in combination with other procedures, such as eyelid surgery, laser facial peel, liposuction of the jowls, or fat injections in the midface. Although a face-lift and secondary procedures can reverse the signs of aging, they aren’t a magical time machine. It’s important to set realistic expectations for results. “You’re not going to look 20 if you’re 55, but you’re going to look better,” Branham says. “Most people are pretty realistic. They don’t want to look like a different person. They want to look like themselves, but better.”

SLACK JAW
The only gobbler at a Thanksgiving table should belong to the bird. If excess skin or fat below the jawline is keeping you from feeling thankful, there are several options for taming turkey neck or double chin without investing in a full face-lift. Define the Problem When it comes to the area just south of the jaw, there are two distinct cosmetic issues that plastic surgeons address. The first is double chin, a deposit of fat beneath the chin, which is typically a genetic condition or associated with being overweight. The second issue is turkey neck, or sagging skin caused by a loss of skin elasticity with age. “With double chin, the person has an extra fat pad but has good skin tone,” says Dr. Brock Ridenour of Ridenour Plastic Surgery. “Turkey neck, on the other hand, is sagging skin, sometimes combined with fat.” Seeing Double People struggling only with a double chin can take advantage of a new non-invasive procedure called Kybella. This FDAapproved injection uses deoxycholic acid to destroy fat cells. Most patients need two to four treatments, spaced one month apart, to get the desired results. “You avoid all of the costs of surgery,” Ridenour says. The first injection is about $1,200 and then goes down with subsequent treatments. There is minimal pain, short recovery and only a moderate risk of bruising, says Dr. Joseph Muccini of MidAmerica Skin Health & Vitality Center. Although this new treatment is getting a lot of attention, Muccini warns that it has limitations. “This is a good technique for a limited problem,” he says. “It addresses fat under the chin, not a turkey neck. If someone thinks it will take 30 years off their neck, they may be very disappointed.”
Gobble, Gobble For those wanting to get rid of turkey neck, a skin-tightening procedure is required. People who have minor looseness of the skin may benefit from a noninvasive option using radiofrequency or ultrasound technology, such as Thermage or Ulthera, that applies controlled heat to cause the skin to contract. It can be combined with Kybella for a more comprehensive result without surgery. “A lot of people are really interested in doing procedures with less downtime, less risk and no visible incisions,” Ridenour says. “Sometimes you have to do more than one thing, but you can create a nice-looking neck without operating if you’re creative and execute a good plan.” Patients with looser skin may need to undergo a minimally invasive procedure where a laser is inserted under the skin to dissolve fat and tighten the skin at the same time, Muccini says. Unlike non-invasive heat technology, the laser can cause minor bruising and require three to four days of healing. “There is minimal aggravation, and it involves less risk and recovery than a face-lift,” Muccini says. By the time loose neck skin becomes a full-blown wattle, the only option is a face-lift. “It’s very important to understand the limitations of noninvasive and minimally invasive procedures,” Ridenour says. “If you have extra fat and a significant loss of elasticity, then you’ll need an operation to correct the structure of the neck.”

[parent trap Sex Education: Teaching the Birds & the Bees by dr. tim jordan Most parents get stuck on ‘the talk,’ i.e. the discussion that
makes even the most hip parent a bit queasy. But I believe the majority of sex education actually should be relationship education, and that this instruction should start in the preschool years. Here are some ideas that can serve as your instruction manual. 1 | Choices Build solid relationships at home: If parents are there for their children, kids grow up feeling loved, important, safe, accepted for who they are, and able to trust other people. This becomes the template for all future relationships. These teens have the best boundaries with other people, because they know they deserve to take good care of themselves. 2 | Learn relationship skills at home: Kids learn,
through interactions with parents and siblings, to have a voice, be assertive, resolve their own conflicts, set boundaries, stand up for themselves, and get their needs met. They take these tools with them to school and use them with their peers, giving them the confidence that they can take care of themselves. Eventually they will employ these same skills in dating relationships.

3 | Don’t push kids to grow up! I cringe when I hear adults
teasing little girls about whether they have a boyfriend. Too many girls get the message that they should have one, and if they don’t, they are abnormal and behind. Let kids come to that stage in their life when they are ready. 4 | Strengthen self-love: The more you love and appreciate yourself, the easier it is to set clear and strong boundaries, both sexually and in relationships. I like to see girls passionately engaged in an interest, because this gives them confidence, fulfillment and an identity that is not about how they look. Girls with boosted confidence don’t worry so much about what other people think of them, and don’t compare themselves to other people. They are true to themselves, and carry themselves with pride. Girls who radiate this energy usually cannot be pushed by boys.

5 | Teach teens how to connect in non-sexual ways:
Deep conversations, holding hands, hugs, back rubs, sports, and trusting friendships all allow teens to feel close to people they are attracted to. Kids who have grown up in our sex-saturated culture need these alternatives.

6 | Use everyday events: A pregnant classmate, sexual

situations in popular media, and news stories about naughty politicians and athletes all provide grist for the mill. Discuss these life events, ask kids what they think about them, listen to their logic without judgment, and gently, with their permission, add your wisdom and values to the mix. 7 | Trust your gut: Teach your kids how to be aware of internal
alarms that go off at critical decision points, and how to get quiet and go inward in order to know what is right for them. Being aware of and trusting their intuition is perhaps the most important relationship tool in their toolbox. You want them to deal with sexuality on their terms, not under pressure from someone else. Tim Jordan, M.D., is a Behavioral Pediatrician who specializes in counseling girls ages 6 through college.

Wide Tooth Comb
Round Brush
Paddle Brush
While it takes a lot of talent to blow dry hair when using a round brush, this is the tool of choice for giving hair extra volume. Round brushes also are perfect for styling straight across bangs. Just roll the brush under your bangs and gently use your fingers to separate strands as needed. If you’re in the market for one of these great tools, look no further than Ibiza Hair brushes. They’re worth the investment, thanks to their Mediterranean flexible cork handles and natural boar, heat-resistant carbon fiber bristles.
Paddle brushes should be your go-to for daily use. They work well to combat frizz and when used while blow-drying, can help straighten hair, sans a straightening iron. Check out CHI’s Turbo Paddle Brush for a good quality option that won’t bust your budget.
You don’t have to be a beauty expert to know that wet hair should be combed, not brushed. A wide-tooth comb is the go-to for detangling wet hair. Brushes can pull and stretch your strands, making them susceptible to breakage. Combs shouldn’t require a big investment as long as they’re sturdy enough to comb through your worst knots. Cricket Ultra Clean varieties are built to last and come in lots of sizes and pretty pastels. Cricket Ultra Clean Comb, Sally Beauty Chesterfield Valley, $2.99
Ibiza Collection Extended Cork Round Brush (Medium), Nordstrom West County Mall, $48
CHI Turbo Paddle Brush, ulta.com, $14.95
Synthetic Bristle Brush For those with thick hair, a synthetic bristle brush is your best bet for combing through stubborn tangles. The nylon bristles don’t create as much static as their boar counterparts and they aren’t as heavy. The Wet Brush is the ideal synthetic, as it was designed to detangle and can even be used on wet hair. It will keep your hair sleek and chic from root to tip. The Wet Brush, thewetbrush.com, $8.99
Teasing Brush Like they say in Texas, “the bigger the hair, the closer to God.” For this, you should turn to Marilyn Brushes. Whether you’re going for a full pompadour or just a little lift, these babies will give you the desired volume, thanks to their natural boar bristles and elevated center row for added texture. You can easily control the amount of tease without risking breakage or hair damage. Marilyn Brushes, marilynbrush.com, prices vary

Even though the mother-of-thegroom is the last person anyone looks at, when my son got married
this past June, it was important to me that I look my best. The winter had not been kind to me. I had a long bout with shingles, and skincare had gone to the wayside. I caught a glimpse of a maturelooking woman in a mirror in April and when I realized it was me, I decided to seek professional help. Dr. Joseph Muccini took one look at me and told me I looked “very worried or perhaps constipated.” I wasn’t either, and this definitely was not the look I was going for. He said with a new skin regimen and a few well-placed fillers, I could have a more “inviting facial expression,” which in layman’s terms means I wouldn’t look so mad. Working with his aesthetician, the first step was to create a new regimen. I began using Epionce Skin Care, which quickly reduced the redness and ruddiness in my face. Since sunscreen often has been an afterthought for me, I have lots of sun damage and fine lines. So the next step was to be one of the newer treatments available, the SkinPen. after This creates microscopic incisions in your face. While it sounds counterintuitive, the healing process afterward is what gives you results. As it heals, your skin becomes tighter and lighter. This means it should reduce fine lines and visible sun damage. The process takes about an hour to do your entire face. First they smear the face with numbing cream, which is a good thing if you don’t like pain. Even numbed, I still felt little pricks. Luckily, they weren’t painful, just annoying. As far before as downtime, I looked bright red for 24 hours, followed by some mild bruising. But I have to say that after a few weeks, the fine lines around my lips diminished. Though to be honest, I am not sure if it was due to the SkinPen or the Epionce Skin Care products. Who really cares—my skin looked healthy instead of haggard. My final step to wedding beauty was a visit to Dr. Muccini himself, who delivered strategically placed filler and botox. Now, I am no novice when it comes to either of these treatments. In fact, I have a love/hate relationship with them: I love them when I have them, and hate them when I don’t! But I also have a strong fear of ending up looking like a cast member from Real Housewives of Orange County. After all, facial movement is critical to my favorite activity, talking. After numbing my face, those tiny needles turned my permanent frown upside down. Say goodbye to my resting bitch face (RBF). Then Botox took care of the etched number 11s in my forehead. And yes, there was some bruising and swelling, for about three days. So, what do I think of all these glamorous treatments? I like the results and would do it all over again. Yes, I will continue with the skincare regimen, since my skin has never looked so good. The filler-botox changes were subtle. No one, except for everyone reading this column, would know that I had anything done to my face. I look well-rested, more approachable and my RBF is not as bitchy. Alas, no one, I mean no one, gave me a glance at my son’s wedding. All eyes were on the beautiful bride. It didn’t matter. I looked a lot better than the middle-aged woman in the mirror who shocked me into action back in April.

» painkiller nih grant
SLU researcher Daniela Salvemini has been awarded a $378,750 NIH grant to determine how potent painkillers can retain their benefits but not their harmful side effects. Called the CuttingEdge Basic Research Award (CEBRA), the grant is meant to mitigate the often devastating addiction sufferers can develop through repeated use of opiods. Other side effects currently experienced include nausea, withdrawal, sedation and delirium. The two-year grant will help Salvemini, a professor of pharmacology and physiology at SLU, continue her research.

»preemies & autism
A study at Washington University indicates that premature infants who avoid eye contact are less likely to demonstate symptoms of autism at age 2 than preemies who maintain eye contact. First author Bobbi Pineda, Ph.D., speculates that premature infants may avert their gaze as a coping mechanism to help them deal with the stress of an intense environment, and that the absence of gaze aversion could signal an inability to avoid stressors. Premature infants, in general, are at an increased risk for autism spectrum disorders. The findings were reported in the July/August issue of The American Journal of Occupational Therapy. The study evaluated 62 preemies in the NICU at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, with the infants born at least 10 weeks before term. “Better understanding of how autism traits emerge along the developmental pathway is an important area for future research,” says Pineda.

e e r f e l k n i r w We are every day!
Researchers at Washington University have developed a wireless device the width of a human hair that can be implanted in the brain and activated remotely to deliver drugs. Demonstrated in mice, the technology may one day be used to treat pain, depression, epilepsy and other disorders by targeting specific brain circuits. The study was published both online and in the print edition of the journal Cell in July. First authors of the study are Jae-Woong Jeong, Ph.D., currently a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, and Jordan G. McCall, Ph.D., a graduate student in the lab of Michael R. Bruchas, Ph.D., associate professor of anesthesiology and neurobiology at Washington University.
Researchers are another step closer to being able to predict who will develop Alzheimer’s. In a study at Washington University published July 6 in JAMA Neurology, several key biomarkers were listed as a possible way to identify future Alzheimer’s victims years before memory loss and other cognitive problems appear. Among the biomarkers evaluated were: the protein amyloid beta 42, a principal ingedient in Alzheimer’s plaques; tau, a structural component of brain cells that increases in the cerebrospinal fluid as Alzheimer’s damages brain cells; YKL-40, a newly recognized protein that signals inflammation; and amyloid plaques, detectable by PET scans. All these biomarkers showed more pronounced changes in people carrying a form of APOE, the gene that significantly increases risk for Alzheimer’s. Data was gathered over 10 years, using 169 cognitively normal participants. The senior author is Anne Fagan, Ph.D, professor of neurology.

eauty trends come and go, but the new trends for fall aren’t just flavor-of-the-month fodder. From flushed cheeks to ombre reincarnations, traditional beauty is getting a face-lift—no needles required. Flushed Cheeks
So long, sculpted cheeks: contouring is so 2014. From Michael Kors to Kate Spade, New York Fashion Week runways were chock-full of breathtaking beauties sans cakey contouring. Just a touch of creamy peach and warm rose blushes graced the models’ otherwise minimally made-up faces. All you need is a brush stroke of Make Up For Ever’s HD Blush in Cool Pink to give you flawless, flushed cheeks with minimal application. Sephora, Chesterfield Mall, $26

I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen natural highlights on a child’s hair and found myself green with envy. No longer an unappreciated perk of childhood, babylights, or the natural highlights found in children’s hair, has become the highlight du jour. Similar to highlights, the application process requires less amounts of hair per foil. It’s easy to maintain and works well on all hair colors and textures. The process can be time-consuming, but the results are worth the wait. Dominic Michael Salon, Clayton, Price upon request
Lazy Girl Hair
Sometimes a perfectly coiffed mane isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Take a lesson in perfectly imperfect hairdos from celebreties like Beyoncé and Katy Perry: Bed head is no longer regulated to the confines of your home. A simple high-braided ponytail or ballerina bun with wisps of hair pulled down are all you need to complete the look. Plus, fall can still be hot in St. Louis, and sometimes you’re just too hot to care about your hair!
’90s Lip Liner
Before you get flashbacks of Pamela Anderson’s frosted lined lips, remember that celebs from Kate Mara to Jennifer Lopez have been shamelessly rocking lined lips for months. Paired with the other ’90s lip trend (berry colors), the new lined lips are not about contrast but about creating depth. Taking a cue from Mara, use Make Up For Ever’s Red Brick lip color and line it with MAC’s Mahogany lip liner to achieve full yet demure dimension. Liner: MAC Store, St. Louis Galleria, $16.50 Lip color: Sephora, Chesterfield Mall, $20
Mermaid Hair
Who said rainbow hair is just for teens? Blue, pink, purple or green, highlight options are as vast as the rainbow this fall. It doesn’t matter if you’re 25 or 55, women of all ages are rocking this colorful trend. Even good girl Kelly Ripa jumped on the bandwagon, switching between pink and blue locks. A trend that works for all hair colors, remember that whatever hue you choose should complement your complexion. If you’re blonde, veer toward pastel tones. Brunettes, go for bolder, warmer colors to add dimension— but beware of harshness. Plus, You’re never too old to have fun with your hair color! Kink Salon, Clayton, Price upon request

T&S home ] 1337 S. Mason Road
listing price | $4,900,000 listing agent | kim carney of coldwell banker premier group The custom-built manse on South Mason Road is an entertainer’s dream. Every
room of the more than 13,500-square-foot house was designed to have multiple conversation and sitting areas, offering luxuriously appointed spaces indoor and out to entertain hundreds of guests or just relax with family and friends. Carl and Laura Strasser spent a year designing the home with their ‘dream folder.’ “We collected all our ideas from touring open houses and our previous homes, along with pictures of items we liked in the folder,” Laura Strasser says. “We chose everything down to the last cabinet pull to make sure our needs were met and there was a nice flow.” The couple worked with architect Dick Busch and Sinn Design • Build to complete their vision of the perfect family home, which includes more than 4.5 acres with a custom-designed pool and plenty of outdoor living space. “It’s so open and conducive to all different levels of entertaining,” Strasser says. “We’ve hosted Visitation Academy’s Christmas tea, 70th birthday parties with 100-plus guests, a wedding reception, World Series parties and our annual family Halloween party. The acoustics are great on the lower level, so we’ve had a small band and DJ down there.” It’s also an area that reflects their love of sports, featuring an embellished ‘locker room’ with pool table, theater room with stadium seating, concession stand with refrigerated drawers and glow-in-the-dark tile, and shelving to showcase the couple’s sports memorabilia collection. “We really use all the space,” Strasser notes. “We wanted our home to be lived in and enjoyed, so we created a very transitional style. There are elegant areas, along with more casual rooms since we have young children and always have other families over.” She says the hearth room is the primary hangout spot where the kids can play while they’re in the kitchen cooking. Even though they are leaving their home of four years, Strasser says they will stay in Town & Country. “We’ve lived here 12 years and are very involved in the community,” she says. “We love our ‘bubble,’ especially because we can be anywhere in 20 minutes!”

[homework Dear Homework,
I am an admirer of your work. We are looking to update the exterior of our Frontenac home. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, —Flummoxed in Frontenac
Dear Flummoxed in Frontenac,
I think you can update your contemporary-style home with a few simple upgrades. The biggest impact would come from painting the brick white, for a fresh new feel … but I have chosen to leave it alone to see if the other changes make enough impact for you without resorting to that rather drastic step. First, I show creating a wider drop-off area for the driveway. Exposed aggregate concrete will blend well with the brick color of the façade, and it helps bring the rectangular geometry of the house into the landscape. Next, I show adding four large, low, red urns in line with the façade to help reinforce the asymmetrical aspect of the composition and add a modern feel, especially with the bold, simple planting I’ve put in them. A new asphalt roof with more character and texture would add depth to the architecture. The sketch also shows removal of the planting currently hiding the garage wing, and, on the left side of the house, the foundation planting is extended to stretch out the horizontal line of the existing shrubs. These changes make the home feel more comfortable with its contemporary styling. Hope that helps,
After

The Scene Scatter mini pumpkins, gourds and grape clusters around the buffet table, and light the space with candles in rustic lanterns. Set out bouquets of dried herbs, mums in orange, red and gold, and bushel baskets of apples. • Light a big bonfire. Surround it with haystacks and blankets for cozy seating. • Hollow out large pumpkins, then use a drill to create patterns and place candles inside. Use these to light your front porch or the walkway to the party area. Use another large pumpkin as a menu board: Cover its front with chalkboard paint and write the menu items.
Be Merry Keep kids entertained with apple bobbing and pumpkin-carving contests. Reward the winner with a sweets-filled goodie bag. • Fill galvanized tubs with cold beverages. Serve a variety of big-bodied red wines and crisp whites and a selection of seasonal beers. Many local breweries produce delicious Oktoberfest or pumpkin beers. Set out a big batch of homemade cider. • If the weather is chilly, set up a hot chocolate and coffee bar.
Eats Cook up a big pot of chili and set out a variety of toppings, including macaroni, shredded cheese, onions, tortilla chips, bacon, sliced jalapenos and sour cream. Serve with a big salad of spinach, apples, walnuts and blue cheese. • For appetizers or side dishes, serve puff pastry-wrapped Brie with chutney and crackers, roasted pumpkin seeds, roasted grape and goat cheese crostini, caramelized onion and rosemary flatbread, and a cheese and sausage plate. Sweets Fall’s signature sweets are some of the best of the year. Serve a combination of caramel apples, caramel corn, apple pie and cinnamon-sugar doughnuts. Set out marshmallows and roasting sticks near a bonfire.

Create a garden space for your kids, and watch it grow.
®
by p. allen smith | photos by mark fonville
flower child »
Most kids love the outdoors and playing in the dirt. So creating a kid-friendly garden at home is actually a no-brainer. In addition to growing flowers and some of their own food, gardening allows your children to enjoy more quality time outdoors. Since this is most likely their first garden, I would suggest encouraging young gardeners to grow herbs. Kids will love tasting their garden as it grows.
Sweet basil has floppy, fragrant leaves and makes a very tasty pesto. Kids will love this herb on homemade pizza. Mint grows so easily that sometimes it’s hard to contain, but it has a wonderful, refreshing fragrance and flavor that tastes like toothpaste. It can be used in drinks and is good as a tummy settler. Lemon thyme has a fragrance and flavor that youngsters will love, like lemonade in the summertime. Sage has pretty blue flowers. This herb will remind kids of turkey and Thanksgiving. Pineapple sage flowers smell and taste like chewing gum and will attract butterflies to their garden. Stevia, sometimes known as sweet leaf, has a sweet cane flavor. Kids will enjoy sampling this herb as it grows.
Seed Bombs Away! Why not make seed bombs to toss in the garden? Kids will enjoy this fun and messy project from start to finish. You will need a large mixing bowl, some air-dry clay (found at any art supply or health food store), compost and seeds.
« Mix approximately five handfuls of
peat-free compost to one handful of seed to three handfuls of clay. Combine the compost and seeds thoroughly, then mix in the clay. You might need to add a little water so it all sticks together. It should have the consistency of biscuit dough. « Shape the mixture into egg-size balls. « Dry the seed bombs in a warm, dry space. They’ll need to sit for at least 3 to 4 hours. Overnight is ideal. « Store them in a cool, dark place, but not for more than a few weeks.
