EDITOR ‌FOR THE LAST FOUR WEEKS, WE HAVE FILLED THE ABODE section with inspiration boards made by our Ladue News Show House designers. Not only is it fun to see each designer’s inspiration for his or her space, but also it’s incredible seeing the true vision come to life when exploring the transformed home.

If you haven’t already toured this year’s Show House (p. 30), located at 110 Dielman Road, I highly recommend perusing the exquisite estate. Not only will you be wowed by the transformations (I know I was), but also you’ll be benefiting SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in the process. The Show House is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Sun., Oct. 22, so don’t miss out!

And speaking of inspiration, in this week’s Style section, we have a little something for everyone.

Between a look featuring an adorable floral embroidered Kate Spade dress, a fashion spread dedicated to ’90s style (hello, flashback!) and the introduction of a new pop-up boutique, there is truly a range of fashion and innovation featured. We hope you find a great statement piece to add to your wardrobe.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

ULTIMA DISASTER RESTORATION

No Job Too

Big

or Too Small

By Robyn Dexter | Photo Supplied

A

s a full-service restoration company that handles every aspect of property loss, ULTIMA Disaster Restoration has seen huge growth in recent months. The St. Louis-based company is a relatively new brand but continues to grow with each passing month, expanding its client base into the commercial world.

ULTIMA is capable of handling the disaster-relief process from the moment it receives the emergency call all the way through the reconstruction process. Whether a property has suffered loss due to fire, water, mold or storm damage, the ULTIMA team is available to remedy the situation.

James Plemmons, the company’s vice president of commercial large loss, recently joined the ULTIMA team to expand the company’s growing commercial client base.

“We’re growing so quickly,” he says. “We’re basically turning into a national company overnight.”

Plemmons has been in Houston for two months helping with restoration in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.

“As soon as we got word there was going to be a Category 4 hurricane, we had seven vehicles mobilize from St. Louis and head down there,” he says. “We didn’t waste any time.”

Projects like this show the ULTIMA crew members’ commitment to customers: If they get a call, they’re on their way.

“We take on any size job, whether it’s a small retail location or a large office building,” Plemmons says.

Plemmons added that ULTIMA is also hoping to help businesses set up their emergency preparedness plans.

“We’ll come to their location and help make the process a lot smoother should loss occur,” Plemmons says.

ULTIMA will meet with business owners and managers to gather intel on everything from fire exits to the alarm system and – JAMES PLEMMONS other important structural elements of a building. Plemmons used facilities like a museum as an example to discuss what aspects of the building, as well as what it contains, should be prioritized should an emergency occur. After the plan is completed, ULTIMA will make sure the business has all the information it needs if something were to happen.

“We’ll also check on the business every month or every quarter about general maintenance,” Plemmons says.

Whether working with a business or a home, the experienced ULTIMA crew is skilled in identifying damage, determining the source and finding long-term solutions. Customers are informed along every step of the restoration process, including interactions with insurance companies. Since quality of service is top priority for the company, this transparency sets ULTIMA apart from its competitors.

“Typically in this industry, everything is done reactively,” Plemmon says. “At Ultima, we’re proactive. We’re always ready for disasters, whether it’s in St. Louis or in California. We’re always looking at the weather and don’t wait for the phone to ring to get out there and help.”

Plemmons notes that ULTIMA is veteran-owned, and president Steve DeRossett takes his company’s work very seriously.

“Quality is most important to us,” Plemmons says. “Everyone knows that [DeRossett] is going to lay eyes on each job, and it needs to be perfect. Everyone’s held accountable for their work.”

We’re always looking at the weather and don’t wait for the phone to ring to get out there and help.

he Nine Network of Public Media recently held its first-ever gala event, Pioneer Spirit Gala. Emcee Catherine Neville captivated guests throughout a program that featured honored guest Ken Burns in conversation with Jack Galmiche, the network’s president and CEO; they discussed Burns’ latest project, The Vietnam War, which premiered Sept. 17 on Nine PBS (Channel 9-1). Guests figuratively toured the network’s 63-year history, beginning with its origin in educational television and ending with a vision of the network’s future. The evening also celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Public Broadcasting Act, which established the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. A live auction and Fund-A-Need allowed guests to support the network and to bid on unique PBS-themed experiences.

nce again, the McGehee Polo Field at Spirit Valley Farms in Chesterfield played host to some great polo, as TREE House of Greater St. Louis held its 15th annual charity polo match in some beautiful weather for the sport. Along with silent auction items and a wine pull, guests savored food and drink in VIP tents along with a food truck and several popular children’s crafts, including the decoration of the kids’ own foam hobbyhorses, which they raced at halftime. The equine-assisted therapy provided by the organization greatly assists local children, adults and veterans with disabilities and their families and has been serving the St. Louis area since 1975, formerly as Therapeutic Horsemanship.

Well, my daughter has been riding at TREE House and formerly Therapeutic Horsemanship since she was 3 years old, and she just had her 18th birthday last week, so we’ve been doing this for a long time. She has reaped tremendous benefits from it that, as family members and parents, we’ve not been able to duplicate with other therapies. Between the movement of the horse, the motivation of being on the horse and the unbelievable instruction and volunteers that provide the service at TREE House, it’s been mesmerizing for me to watch as a parent and really empowering to my daughter.

The participating chefs and their respective restaurants were John O’Brien of Herbie’s, Brian Doherty and Marc Del Pietro of The Block, Bernie Lee of Hiro Asian Kitchen and Rich LoRusso of LoRusso’s Cucina. In addition to enjoying the meal, guests interacted with each chef at his individual appetizer station during the cocktail hour and, at each station, met a student serving as sous chef.

City ACAdemy Cit

By Amanda Dahl

The groundbreaking ceremony for the addition rendered above took place on September 27. City Academy’s new Early Childhood center is expected to open for the 2018-19 school year in August 2018.

mIssIoN

“City Academy transforms children, families, and our community through exceptional education and bold expectations that empower children to overcome barriers,” says Don Danforth III, president and co-founder. “We believe a family’s geographic location and income should never be a barrier to accessing high quality education.”

City Academy partners with families to walk them through the

educational journey every step of the way. “When we go through the admissions process, we’re not just admitting children; it’s the whole family,” chief operating officer Nikki Doughty says. “It’s about getting parents engaged and building relationships, making sure all families feel this is their school and that they are a part of this community.”

hIstory

CommuNIty ImpACt

“Don Danforth III, our co-founder and president, had worked for several years at [the Mathews-Dickey] Boys’ & Girls’ Club, building relationships,” Doughty shares. “He wanted to provide kids in North St. Louis the type of continual educational program he’d want for his own children. City Academy opened its doors in 2004 across from the club.”

Danforth and Duncan Marshall founded City Academy, starting with just three grades for those with limited educational opportunities. Now, the school serves junior kindergarten through sixth grade. “Today, we have 185 students, and as our co-founder likes to say, we have such a good thing – we can’t keep it to ourselves,” principal Milton Mitchell says. “We’re expanding our public building and constructing an Early Childhood center, so we can increase our number of students on campus.”

City Academy doesn’t just open its doors to those with limited resources. Its rigorous program teaches values beyond the classroom that foster community. “We want students to take ownership of their learning,” Mitchell explains. “We develop critical thinkers and teach them how best to accept a challenge, with the right attitude, so they can push through it. We help them to understand their part in the world and how to contribute to the development of not only themselves but also other people. It’s about how you traverse that landscape in a healthy way, where you can express yourself, learn and listen. We’re ultimately trying to instill in our students that this takes a full community effort, with staff and teachers serving as excellent role models.”

That level of collaboration is evident in the classroom, where teachers often pair up on projects to show the

application of each subject in a real-world sense. Watching their art and math instructors prove how valuable math can be in seemingly intangible ways, as opposed to teaching disciplines in isolation, paints the bigger picture for students.

“We provide intensive support programs from seventh to 12th grade, so when our students leave us, they can find great success at their secondary school,” Doughty explains.

“We make sure they not only transition but experience huge success both academically and in leadership roles by providing them the tools and space to become great leaders. Our alumni program is an enriching program, with access to career disciplines that build their social capital.

Students are informed when looking into where they want to go and what they want to do.”

How to Get Involved Donors make City Academy’s mission possible, enabling the school to provide scholarship support to 100 percent of students.

Whether you wish to offer scholarship support or simply learn more about this novel approach to education, the best way to discover what this community is all about is to witness it firsthand. “Explore us,” Mitchell encourages. “We open our doors to so many students. There’s so much work we’ve done – and so much still to do.”

LANDSCAPE

The Ghoulish Garden

By Pat Raven, Ph.D., with Julie Hess

‌A

s Halloween creeps up on us, all corners of the garden become mysterious and half-hidden. The sunlit summer garden has slipped away, with a darker, enigmatic place emerging. To celebrate the Goth in your garden, incorporate black plants for backdrops, borders and baskets.

For your midnight garden, try including ‘Black Cat’ Salix, a pussywillow with ebony catkins, which prefers damp conditions and will treat you with early-spring fuzzy caterpillar blooms.

For large containers and hanging baskets, plants can play three roles: fillers, spillers and thrillers!

For elegant fillers, try ‘Dark Dancer’ clover, which will spread – sometimes aggressively, so keep it contained – to snuff out the open spaces between other plants. Another wicked choice is the petunia cultivar ‘Black Velvet.’ It channels a bit of Elvis into the ghostly garden. For a plant that pours over the edge of a pot, use ornamental sweet potatoes – the classic ‘Midnight Lace’ or the darkest new ‘Sweet Caroline’ series cultivars ‘Raven,’ ‘Bewitched After Midnight’ or ‘Jet Black.’ Their sinuous vines will wrap around any unsuspecting statues nearby. The classic love-lies-bleeding amaranth, shot through the heart with color, spills out over edges or ledges for deep red draping inflorescences. And great thrillers include Colocasia ‘Black Magic,’ Alocasia ‘Black Velvet’ or Sedum ‘Night Embers.’

To make the boldest of borders, try Coleus Colorblaze ‘Dark Star’ or Brazilian joyweed ‘Purple Prince.’ For an exciting contrast, pair them with either burnt orange coleus or chartreuse contrast plants. In the perennial bed, you might be stunned by the beautiful Penstemon ‘Midnight Masquerade,’ Heucherella ‘Onyx’ or the velvety black Iris ‘Raven Girl.’ And there’s always room for the elegant, traditional ‘Bleeding Heart.’

The ‘Black Diamond’ crape myrtle series includes half a dozen black-leaved cultivars, with ‘Purely Purple’ and ‘Mystic Magenta’ as excellent choices for drama. They will make lush and dense 10- to 12-foot specimens, perfect for ghouls to lurk behind. Other cultivars offer pure white, shell pink, best red, crimson red and hot red flowers – all mounted on mahogany black foliage, great for the small courtyard or intimate cemetery.

And if you want to dress your garden in black for the occasion, try ‘Black Negligee’ bugbane, ‘Black Taffeta,’ the silky black, glossy-leaved alum root or ‘Black Stockings’ foam flower. To top off your costume, try Alocasia ‘Black Mask’ with a headpiece of the stunning ‘Fancy Feathers’ ebonyand-maroon coleus. No matter whether you are dressing yourself or your garden for Halloween, just watch out for any ghouls with pumpkin heads!

Also, since our region is experiencing a moderate drought, protect your plants before winter by watering trees and shrubs several times before the ground freezes.

Kitchen/Butler’s Pantry Designer: Tori Webbe-HunT of Tori Design The show house features an expansive kitchen complete with blond cabinetry, dark countertops and a modern pass-through. “I like the rustic look [of] the room,” says designer Tori webbe-hunt of Tori Design. “It has lots of great windows and looks over the beautiful hearth room.” webbe-hunt focused on making sure the kitchen coordinated with the rest of the home and retained the same warm, inviting feel.

Tori Design, 9320 white Ave., st. Louis, 314-662-4050

The pheasant motif continues throughout the room with pheasant feathers appearing in floral arrangements by walter Knoll Florist.

The gray, orange and blue of rugs, art, flowers and accessories add pops of color to the space.

Plates with designs including olives and pheasants add a “wine-country look,” which webbe-Hunt sought to integrate into the kitchen.

A rustic chandelier made of wood and iron creates connection from the breakfast room into the rest of the home.

Bathroom Designers: anne smith anD liz mcgovern of JuNe roessleiN iNteriors Anne Smith and Liz McGovern of June Roesslein Interiors decorated both the solarium guest bedroom and the adjoining bathroom. McGovern says the toughest part of decorating the bathroom was making the existing high-gloss cabinetry match the rest of the space. “We did our best to downplay that aspect of the room,” she says, noting the natural textures and hues her team brought in.

June Roesslein Interiors, 10411 Clayton Road, No. 206, Frontenac, 636-394-1465, juneroesslein.com

Cream oatmeal and chocolate shades make up the majority of the bathroom’s neutral color palette.

Chrome and brass are seen throughout the space.

Decorative spheres were placed on the vanity top for a textural decorative touch.

A Mongolian fur vanity bench adds a unique texture and sense of fun.

Preview

Landscaping Designers: Jim anD anDria graeler of Chesterfield Valley Nursery Chesterfield Valley Nursery is taking the Show House’s outdoor areas from overgrown to opulent. From colorful flowers to ornate Japanese maples, Jim Graeler and his daughter and design assistant, Andria Graeler, focused on making a statement with the landscaping. “Immediately when you come on the property, it’s bam!” Andria Graeler says of the vibrant, updated look.

Chesterfield Valley Nursery, 16825 N. Outer 40, Chesterfield, 636-532-9307, chesterfieldvalleynursery.com

Champagne coral bells in a yellow-pink add additional pops of color to the greenery.

Mums in yellow and orange add autumnal color to the property.

Overgrown bushes were replaced with stately boxwoods.

Q&A LAURIE with

NEWCOMB OF STRUT!

PHOTOS SUPPLIED

By Jackson Roman

‌The holiday season comes with a unique set of opportunities in the fashion industry, and Laurie Newcomb has spent her fair share of hours thinking about how to capitalize on them. As CEO of Inspire Strategic, Newcomb works in a consulting capacity, providing business development solutions for local up-and-coming designers.

This fall, Newcomb is curating STRUT! Seasonal Collective, a designer pop-up shop at The Boulevard in Richmond Heights, open until Dec. 31. Ladue News caught up with Newcomb to learn more about her new venture.

Tell us about STRUT! Seasonal Collective.

It was born out of conversations with a couple of designers I work with: Amy Johnson of KayOss Designs and Claire Flowers [of the eponymous local brand]. They b com did a one-day pop-up shop together L a u rie N e w in the Central West End this summer, and it went really well. They killed it! The energy and synergy between the two brands really worked.

We decided it would be a great idea to find a space and gather a series of St. Louis designers whose lines complemented one another and see what we could do.

The pop-up shop is a great solution for smaller designers who are looking to test out a brick-and-mortar model or who don’t have the capital or marketing manpower to take on a store full time but want to have presence in the holiday season.

How long has the idea of STRUT! been in the works?

It probably started about four months ago, so finding a space was definitely the most difficult part.

It’s a challenge finding somebody who will do a shortterm lease – about three months – and also has the clientele and traffic that matched what we were looking to do. Most places are only interested in longterm lease applicants and look at you funny when you inquire about a short-term lease, like, “Are you a Halloween store?”

What interested you in The Boulevard as a location for the shop?

Part of it was that they were interested in us! They heard our vision and

were interested in the pop-up concept, and that was a great place to start. But in addition, the location is accessible to a large portion of the customer bases for the designers, as well as getting the natural traffic from restaurants and businesses in the area. As I said, location was the most time-consuming aspect of this process, and The Boulevard really presented itself as the perfect spot for us.

You’re highlighting both established and up-and-coming designers at various price points; how did you select the designers for STRUT!?

Some of them were people I already had working or professional relationships with, but others were new to me, which was really exciting! We wanted to make sure that we have the right merchandise mix that highlights each designer’s strengths without over-representing a kind of clothing or merchandise.

We also really thought carefully about giving a true representation of St. Louis designers. For a lot of these designers, they’ve been online-only or had a few items featured here or there in boutiques. This is a formal introduction between them and St. Louis in a retail setting, and we wanted to really make sure to help them put their best foot forward.

You mention guest designers making appearances – can you spoil the surprise for our readers?

There will be quite a few! We wanted to be able to bring in new products and keep the experience fresh and lively. We have some childrenswear brands who will be coming, like Walt & Finn and The Tiny Hedgehog. We’ll be bringing in [Collections by] Joya, a local jewelry designer, Never Back belts, a label called Ideas from the North, which is a Scandinavian sweater brand – it

will be a constantly evolving space.

What does the future of STRUT! look like?

This is really my first full-scale designer pop-up, so in the longer term, we do anticipate this being a success, and I’d love to do something like this. Hopefully, we can make this a template and do things like it in the future. Maybe we can do a spring show or do shows that coincide with New York Fashion Week. Maybe it continues to just be a thing that happens for 10 weeks before the holidays, and we introduce St. Louis to a whole new crop of designers next year!

It all kind of remains to be seen what the future of STRUT! is, and maybe in the future, we’ll even have a different name for it, who knows?

What can people expect when they visit STRUT? We’ve tried to curate an experience that has a price point and a product for almost any customer who walks in, whether they want a $20 candle for their friend or a $300 pair of shoes for a holiday party or event. We do have a wish list service that will allow people to fill in items that will then be emailed to their significant other so that you have guidance for gift giving, and we’ll also allow people to call ahead and we’ll have items wrapped up and ready when they arrive. We know things like that can really go a long way during a busy holiday season.

We are also going to be credit-card-only, as everything is going to be rung through Square accounts. It’s important to understand that each designer is a separate business, so we’ll have to ring transactions separately, but we’ve trained all of our staff on Square, and we’re confident that we’ve streamlined the process as much as possible. Other than that, I think it will be a really exciting opportunity for both the designers and the customers. We hope to see you all there!

By Dick Smothers I love 20 Minutes to Fitness. Here’s why.

I get a special joy from the fact that I’m doing something for myself that I know is helping me become a stronger, more fit, 75-plus-year-old.

I first came to 20 Minutes to Fitness in 2008, and it was like nothing I had ever experienced in my life. I had been around gyms for many years, and I was quite aware of all sorts of workout philosophies, but never this one. In and out in about 20 minutes? This I had to see. I saw it and I’m still here.

In 2011, I embarked on an extended road trip in my RV that took me to the West Coast and points in between, and I couldn’t keep up my workout program. I didn’t pick it up again until 2 years later. I knew that I had lost some muscle mass and was curious to see how soon I could get it back.

I was amazed!

With every session I get stronger. My stronger body makes my life easier and more enjoyable.

My trainer is an excellent coach, and I think accepts the fact that I like to talk while I’m working out. But that’s just how I do it. It’s not mandatory to be a motor mouth.

I’ll ask her things like, “Did you add weight? How much? How much time did I do last time? How much time have I done so far? Is that all? You’re kidding. I don’t think I can do anymore!” She’ll say, “Yes you can, try one more.” I try, I do one more, and it is not easy, but quite often I find enough strength to do another one after that.

That’s what it’s all about. That’s the genius of this program. I exhaust my muscle groups with a high weight for my ability and a low number of slow repetitions. Once a week. I don’t have to do three sets of ten, two to three times a week at the gym. This is a medically based, scientifically proven training program performed on unique specialized equipment with extremely knowledgeable coaches in a non-gym environment.

I bike, swim, stand up paddle-board, dance, yoga, meditate, take naps and more. I live with a great sense of gratitude of the blessings God has given me. I don’t take anything for granted, including my muscles.

Since I added “20 Minutes to Fitness” to my life, I’m doing just fine, thank you!!!!!

Rabbi Susan

TALVE

haven’t really slept in three days!” is the first thing Rabbi Susan Talve says just as a rush of high school-age kids pour out of her synagogue office.

She’s been teaching the confirmation class since she founded the Central Reform Congregation in the Central West End 36 years ago. As Talve welcomes me into her office, she offers me a bagel that the teens haven’t devoured. When I inquire why she hasn’t slept, Talve says she has been inspired by prayer – not only for the holy days and Yom Kippur services but also for those friends of hers who were arrested in recent protests. “I’ve been very concerned,” she says.

St. Louisans have come to know Talve as a compassionate and liberal voice in the Jewish and interfaith communities and, recently, as an active, peaceful protester.

“I’ve been arrested three times,” she says, to my surprise. “They were very polite arrests. The officer said, ‘I’m sorry, Rabbi, that I’m arresting you.’” However, Talve isn’t sorry for the acts of civil disobedience that landed her in handcuffs.

Talve has been on the front lines of many peaceful protests since 2014’s fatal shooting of Michael Brown, encouraging St. Louis to take a hard look at what she sees as racial inequity in policing and oppression of African-Americans. “We can do better, and everywhere I can use my influence,” she says. “I feel it’s my obligation to bring that up. We have a great opportunity right now.”

Approximately 750 families make up Talve’s congregation, and there’s little debate that the beliefs they espouse – including gender equality and equal rights for the LGBTQ community – often clash with those of Orthodox Judaism. “Of course I get pushback, and of course I get negative responses,” she says. “I know there are people out there who are critical, but what I mostly get is people thanking me for being able to do that work.”

Talve came to St. Louis in 1981 after meeting her husband at rabbinical school in Jerusalem. They have raised three daughters here in St. Louis, although she never imagined making the Midwest her permanent home. “We came for a two-year contract; I’m a New York girl,” she says with a laugh.

“I never thought I’d live west of the Hudson River, but we came here and started having children, and our third child was born with a serious heart defect that required surgery. The medical care we received for our daughter at [St. Louis] Children’s Hospital was lifesaving, and that became the most important thing in our life.”

Her family’s own medical crisis is one of the reasons Talve is an outspoken advocate for affordable and universal health care. Her work in interfaith relations is another big part of her work: If there is a gathering of Jewish, Christian, Muslim and other religious leaders in St. Louis, you’ll almost always find Talve among them seeking common ground. “None of us can do this alone,” she says.

Since the international spotlight came down on Ferguson and the St. Louis area in 2014, much of Talve’s focus has centered on racial issues. She believes that progress is being made in our community and that people are now able to have more open and honest discussions about race. “So many more people are engaged and involved, so many more people showed up to reflect on what it’s like to be a person of color and especially a young person of color on the streets of our city,” says Talve.

She believes there’s a great need for more early-childhood education and support for day care centers located in neighborhoods most impacted by poverty and crime.

She also wants to see more community policing. “Everyone deserves to have equal footing, so when we say everybody can pull themselves up by their bootstraps, we

She sighs as she admits that there’s still a lot of work to be done. I’m thinking she may not be able to catch up on her sleep any time soon.

S. BRENTWOOD BLVD.

‌A

fter a year of sitting by his side, sharing safe-driving tips and biting our parental tongues, our oldest son easily passed his driver’s test a few weeks ago. It was a proud parenting moment, but also reinforced that our boy had taken one more step to adulthood.

Now, although my wife and I mourn the loss of captive car-time talk with him, we’re also enjoying newfound freedoms. Our 16-year-old can transport himself to and from school, pick up his brother from late-night hockey practice and run our mundane errands when we need help. While life has gotten easier in certain regards, however, it’s also become more stressful as we worry about our son’s driving safety.

Automobile accidents form the leading cause of death for 15- to 20-year-olds, with distracted driving the No. 1 reason kids crash their cars. Interestingly, more mishaps occur because of passenger interaction than cellphone engagement. Additionally, approximately 20 percent of the newly licensed suffer some type of fender bender during their first year on the road.

In good news, constructive conversation about car safety can keep children from having accidents. According to a AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety study, teens are more likely to use common sense and obey road rules when parents clearly define expectations. Teens want to be trusted.

To ease parental worries, many adults ask their children to sign safe-driving contracts. Although well-intentioned, a better course of action would involve having a collaborative conversation with your teen about automobile accountability. Discuss big issues such as geographic boundaries, local laws and, of course, drinking and driving, but also outline communication expectations, the number of allowed passengers and general responsibilities. Specifics are important, but an open dialogue creates responsibility and teaches good decision-making better than a rigid agreement.

To further relieve parental angst and ensure driver safety, consider installing a location/safe driving app like Life360 on your child’s phone. Kids will often answer when parents call because they worry mom or dad will be upset if they don’t respond.

A driving app will let you know your child’s location and only intrudes if your son or daughter is doing something wrong.

In addition to safe-driving discussions, make sure your son or daughter understands how to maintain a car. A poorly timed snafu can be just as dangerous as an accident. All drivers, not just teens, should check gas levels every time they start a car and continually monitor oil, brake fluid and windshield cleaner levels.

Last, set a good example. Kids model adults, and they’re often watching your behind-the-wheel behavior. So wear your safety belt, obey the law and pull to the roadside when using the phone. Driving constitutes a privilege for children and adults.

Driver education doesn’t end when your child earns a license. In fact, new drivers need ongoing supervision. Striking a balance between responsible parenting and being overly protective can be a challenge. By clearly defining expectations and regularly conversing with their children, parents can reduce the risk of frustrating conflicts and car crashes. Enjoy the ride – soon enough, your kids will be driving off to start lives of their own.

I

have been a product reviewer for a long time, for all sorts of things. I’ve also been a reader of other product reviewers for an even longer time, as I imagine most of you have. I’m often befuddled when I read other auto reviews. For instance, I found more than one mention of the too-stiff suspension on the Maserati Levante S. Another spent a full paragraph bemoaning the childish exhaust note of the Jaguar F Type-R. I disagree with both those assessments, but that’s the crux of reading reviews in proper context: understanding not only their words but also the writer’s personal preferences and frame of reference.

All of that is an attempt to put the subject of this review, the Infiniti Q50 Red Sport, into context. It’s the hyper-sedans tested at the famous Nürburgring motorsports complex in Germany, like the BMW M3 and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrofoglio, that get all the buzz for their eye-popping on-track ability. Admittedly, that’s catnip for this writer, and there are buyers out there who crave it, too. But the majority of sports-sedan buyers prefer an animal that knows how to curl up on your lap and purr, not just climb curtains and attack your ankles.

For my review drives, I don’t discuss the engineering goals or target market with the manufacturer, and dealers typically toss me the keys and simply say, “Have fun!” So I set off with a blank slate, free to form my own opinions. It was in just a few short driving hours that I realized the fine line between track performance and real-world livability that the Infiniti engineers were trying to walk with the Q50 Red Sport. They were very successful in doing so; this is an animal that wants to be your best friend.

Infiniti/Nissan has a long history of some of the world’s finest V-6 engines, both with and without turbocharge. This new VR-series 3-liter twin-turbo V-6 furthers that tradition. Delivery of its 400 ponies is instantaneous, and one would be hard-pressed to find any trace of turbo lag. As it pulls through the rev range, its lack of vibration or shudder is much appreciated, as well. I doubt anyone will find fault with the Red Sport’s powerplant; it’s a gem reminiscent of the wonderful Ferrari-built twin-turbo V-6 found in the Maserati Ghibli. That’s high praise indeed! And the 4½-second 0-to-60 sprint backs up those claims.

In the modern era of sports sedans, a powerful engine isn’t enough – responsive chassis dynamics are a requisite, too. And it’s often in discussion of things like “feel” and “responsiveness” that writers’ opinions diverge. My Q50 Red Sport loaner did not come with the controversial Steer by Wire package, which replaces the conventional

steering rack with electronics and electric motors to turn the wheels, a package that has been tweaked for 2018 and one I hope to try in the future. Even without, I would still call the steering feel rather dead, although anything else these days is the outlier. That dead wheel, however, didn’t negatively impact my ability to hustle the Q50 through twisty Jefferson County roads. In Sport and Sport + driving modes, the car takes on an eagerness that was confidence-inspiring, and all the pieces play together well. Overall chassis balance is neutral, with just a bit of understeer, easily managed with throttle application midcorner. At first, the brakes gave the impression of being a bit soft, but that was just the learning curve with how to work the pedal. After a brief familiarization period, I found myself going deep into corners without drama.

And the fitted all-wheel-drive system made mashing the gas pedal on corner exit completely worry-free. With the new ’18 magnesium paddle shifters, the seven-speed transmission also never got in the way of enjoyment.

Overall, its sporting chops were commendable. No, it’s not the knife-edged Giulia Quadrofoglio, but it’s not meant to be. What the Q50 Red Sport does is get you onto the same playing field as, say, an Audi S4 or a BMW 340i M Sport, and it does so with arguably an advantage.

Full of minor updates for 2018, the Q50 interior makes its case heard, as well. Levels of fit and finish overall fall in the luxury segment without question, rear-seat leg room is more than expected, and comfort

is on par with your favorite pair of sneakers. Infiniti’s use and application of technology are also very smart.

Its dual-screen center stacked with many redundant hard buttons nearly eliminates the need to ever go three levels deep into an infotainment screen to find the desired setting. I had the hang of it completely before leaving the dealer lot. And all the active-this and assisted-that drivers’ aids expected in the segment are there, as well.

While other reviews of the Q50 Red Sport complained about the two-screen control system, I personally loved it. I saw one mention of too much road noise through the summer tires, and that one had me scratching my head. Another writer complained of the transmission being “too” responsive. Seriously? What the Q50 Red Sport accomplishes is a careful balancing act between aggression and accommodation. In a way, it’s the Goldilocks of sport sedans – not too hard and not too soft, not too expensive but also not too cheap. It gives more power, more interior space and competitive levels of finish quality and tech, for about the price you’d expect – and it looks every bit the part.

n University City’s Delmar Loop, a traditional Chinese street food has become available locally for the first time: jianbing, a savory rolled crêpe incorporating various fillings and sauces.

Bing Bing, which opened in July, serves such crêpes, as well as appetizers, kushiage (kushikatsu) skewers, soups, and Aurora and milk teas.

The eatery comes from Yong Liu and chef Yijun Chen. Liu hails from southern China; Chen, from the north. The co-proprietors also own Star Karaoke on Olive Boulevard. Moreover, Liu maintains a career as a hairstylist, while Chen owns Ho Wun, an Asianfusion restaurant in Fenton. “[Chen] ate jianbing since he was a child,” Liu says.

“One time, I went to Shanghai with him, and I tried it.

Bing Bing fills the approximately 800-square-foot space previously occupied by Moya Grill, with seats for around 20 guests. Aside from remodeling to create an open kitchen area and adding lights, the room maintains its previous tenant’s light and airy, minimal contemporary feel.

To build their own jianbing at Bing Bing, guests make selections from the menu. Shandong-style jianbing, a yellow corn, soybean and wheat flourbased crêpe, incorporates scrambled egg, sesame, scallions, cilantro, lettuce, Chinese pickles and crunchy wonton. (Tianjin-style jianbing, a mung

Bing Bing offers guests two options for sauce: a traditional sauce with a hoisin base and a house sauce with a mayonnaise base. Guests also can choose from among more than a dozen proteins, including barbecue pork, lemongrass beef, Taiwanese sausage and Liu’s personal favorite: golden crispy chicken.

Sides include salt grill chicken, fried squid, pot stickers and spring rolls. Also, as noted earlier, kushiage – deep-fried Japanese-style meat skewers – are available; options include fried fish ball and lamb. For something warming, guests can enjoy four soup bowls, among them marinated duck soup with glass noodles, slow-cooked oxtail noodle

Bing Bing, 567A Melville Ave., University City, 314-669-9229

‌Story: The Julius Słowacki Theatrical Society, a troupe that has performed mostly comedies for the St. Louis Polish community since 1909, is getting ready to present its version of a 19th-century masterpiece by acclaimed Polish playwright Aleksander Fredro.

The play is called Zemsta (Revenge) and is presented in the style of Fredro’s octosyllabic verse. It’s 1933, and the Great Depression is well under way, as are insidious developments in Germany, where Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist Party have taken power.

With the play about to begin, the theatrical troupe is one member short of the required actors. They hear a laborer singing nearby and encourage him to join them. He’s not Polish, but they all are united with an amiable spirit to perform Zemsta for their audience.

Zemsta tells the story of two men who have feuded for more than 30 years over a castle of which each owns half. Klara, the niece and ward of Czesnik, is in love with Waclaw Milczek, son of the notary Milczek, Czesnik’s archenemy and owner of the other half of said castle.

Czesnik employs the Papkin to make life miserable for Milczek, but Papkin generally only makes a mess of everything. When the lusty widow Hanna learns about Czesnik’s fortune, she attempts to seduce him into marriage. At the same time, Milczek devises a scheme for Hanna, Waclaw’s erstwhile lover, to marry his son in order to claim her own estate.

Everyone, it seems, is motivated by money except Waclaw and the fair Klara, who has her own ideas about marrying the man she loves. Zemsta has been a favorite with Polish audiences for centuries, and the Julius Słowacki Theatrical Society is determined to do it justice.

Highlights: Upstream Theater artistic director Philip Boehm pays homage both to one of Poland’s most revered poets and playwrights and to the rich history of Polish theater in St. Louis with Sweet Revenge, his entertaining translation of Fredro’s comic masterpiece.

Other Info: Upstream Theater’s program for this opener of its 2017-18 season includes an essay about the history of the Julius Słowacki Theatrical Society

by Tom Bratkowski. An old photo on the back of the program’s cover shows the troupe in 1959, its last year of existence, and includes no fewer than four or five Bratkowskis, so it’s logical to assume that Tom and performer John Bratkowski are members of a family steeped in a love of theater.

Boehm shrewdly sets the troupe’s rendition of Fredro’s famous comedy in 1933, a time which parallels in ways our contentious modern political era. Apart from the first few lines and the ending, however, the two-act comedy is firmly set in the 18th century.

Scenic designer Patrick Huber identifies the two eras with a theatrical curtain for the Julius Słowacki Theatrical Society, which is raised prior to the performance, as well as a backdrop of a dilapidated

castle for the play-within-a-play setting.

Steve Carmichael tackles the lighting design, which focuses on the comic moments, while A.S. Freeman adds props that embellish the goings-on. Laura Hanson’s costumes reflect the time and class of the Fredro comedy with the exception of the working togs worn by the mason who joins the troupe for this performance.

Boehm’s rhyming couplets are delivered with panache by his expert ensemble, even if the poetry becomes repetitive after a while. As a director, he succeeds more in Act II, which picks up the pace and is more enjoyable than the too-languid first half.

There is wonderful work by Whit Reichert and John Contini parry and thrust with their best, or worst, verbal jabs as the conniving Czesnik and scheming Milczek, respectively, turning raised eyebrows and feigned indignation to a fine art.

John Bratkowski enjoys the lion’s share of the play’s comic moments as the blundering Papkin, a cowardlylion type who is big on recounting his so-called military exploits but retreats at the slightest hint of retaliation by anyone within earshot. Jane Paradise savors every line in her role of the lascivious widow Hanna.

Eric Conners does triple duty as the amiable mason, Czesnik’s obedient major-domo and a befuddled cook.

He excels in the show’s best scene, in which the majordomo literally reads back everything to Czesnik in a letter the latter is dictating to his minion.

As the young lovers, Caitlin Mickey and Pete Winfrey are at their best refining the sharp, savvy observations of Klara and the determined efforts of Waclaw to win the hand of his true love, respectively. Mickey is especially engaging as Klara uses the hopeless desires of the jester Papkin for her own purposes.

Sweet Revenge is charming, delightful and also a subtle cautionary tale for our troubled times, as well as a nod to the rich theatrical history of The Lou.

What the

Vintners Buy Local lad Michael H. Kennedy II has fast made a name for himself in the world of wine.

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photos by Meg Smith

“I

wonder often what the Vintners buy/One half so precious as the stuff they sell,” reads one famous passage from the fourth edition of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

by Edward FitzGerald, but Michael H. Kennedy II likely wonders nothing of the sort – because he knows.

Kennedy, the son of John and Celeste Kennedy of Frontenac, operates Napa Valley, California’s Component Wine Company, which has garnered considerable acclaim since he and his wife, Rachel, founded it just last year as a self-described “boutique négociant.”

Now, the French phrase négociant may well petrify neophyte oenologists and other innocents already aghast at viticultural lingo. (Terroir? Terrors! Maceration? Mercy me!

Chaptalization? Charge the defibrillator!) In brief, though, négociant refers simply to a wine merchant that gathers the products of smaller growers and vintners to sell the result under its own name.

In that respect and in that capacity, earlier this year Kennedy and Component earned kudos from one of the business world’s most esteemed analysts, when Forbes named him to its nationwide 30 Under 30 list in the Food & Drink category. A degree of giddiness still colors Kennedy’s recollection of his initial reaction to that high-profile accolade, about which he learned in his and his wife’s Dallas home.

“I was sitting in our living room and just happened to look at the Forbes 30 Under 30 Snapchat,” he says. “I didn’t see my name or picture in the images and profiles they highlighted so, of course, I thought I didn’t make it and put my phone down. A couple of minutes later, I realized I didn’t see all 30 names and thought I’d give it a second look – and there it was! I couldn’t believe it. I shouted to my wife, Rachel, and she was so excited for me. One of the two of us cried, but I won’t say who.”

To earn that and other laurels, Kennedy, on Component’s website, cites his dream of the company becoming “respected for quality on the levels of the great négociants of Burgundy, [France,] producers like Maison Leroy, Dujac Fils et Père and Joseph Drouhin.”

I love a great bottle of wine from almost anywhere in the world, but lately, I’ve been digging into the classics in Napa that get overlooked for newer, hipper brands.

- MIchael h.

KeNNedy II

In that light, Kennedy’s scarcely peddling plonk. According to its website, Component’s releases at press time numbered a select four, all 100 percent varietals from Napa Valley: 2016 semillon, 2014 petit verdot, 2014 cabernet franc and 2014 cabernet sauvignon.

By 750-milliliter bottle, the limited-edition wines range in price from $68 to $150, and for each, Component specifies both a minimum and, to discourage profiteering, a maximum number of bottles one can order through its e-commerce platform.

Local oenophiles should mark that last detail. Although Component doesn’t quite operate “to the trade,” they probably oughtn’t seek its releases on the shelves and racks of supermarkets – or even treasured specialty retailers like The Wine and Cheese Place or The Wine Merchant, Ltd. As a négociant, states the company’s website, Kennedy’s Component seeks to help connoisseurs “understand and appreciate more fully the greatest wines of Napa Valley.” The site then relates that most of the valley’s iconic wines blend cabernet sauvignon with merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot. “Very rarely does the opportunity arise to taste the blending components before they go into these master blends,” the site continues. “We offer that experience. Component Wine Company allows you to taste the component wines in a similar state that the winemaker tastes while contemplating their final master blend. We invite you into our cellar, through the bottle, and into the world of winemaking in Napa Valley.”

So – backstory, anyone? Kennedy briefly reflects on what about his upbringing and education here prepared and prompted him to pursue an oenological career.

“This area has a lot to offer in terms of wine, food and culture,” he says. “Being surrounded by people who have traveled the world [and] experienced other cultures and food always inspired me to travel more, learn more and explore the world of gastronomy.

“Also, my French teacher at Chaminade [College Preparatory], Chantal Morrissey, first introduced me to wine as part of a meal, part of culture, and not just alcohol. I point to that as the spark that fueled my future love of wine.”

After Chaminade, Kennedy earned a bachelor’s degree in French and French lit from West Lafayette, Indiana’s celebrated Purdue University. He explains in brief how so seemingly incongruous a postsecondary education influenced his work in wine.

“A liberal arts education, especially one studying cultures and arts, helps not only develop someone for relationships and critical thinking but [also] exposes you to the world around you, far beyond career-specific studies,” Kennedy says. “Both are valuable, but this seemed to work out well for me!”

After Purdue, he served for three years at Chandler Hill Vineyards in Defiance, Missouri, ultimately rising to the position of director of wine. Because Kennedy holds a sommelier certification from the distingué Court of Master Sommeliers, it should come as no surprise that he still monitors oenological activity at his old stamping grounds.

“Chandler Hill has recently revamped its wine production vision, focusing on quality over variety,” Kennedy says. “I was blown away by its dry vignoles from the estate vineyard recently.

It was bright, aromatic and complex. I couldn’t believe the change

octobeR 20, 2017 | LadueNews.com

from previous vintages – amazing changes happening there.”

He eventually left Chandler Hill, though, to pursue an irresistible opportunity: joining the staff of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company.

With the Ritz, Kennedy worked in Washington, D.C., and the Cayman Islands. His stint in the Caribbean with the luxury hotel chain, moreover, yielded a bonus of the highest order: working there with French über-chef Éric Ripert, perhaps best known for Le Bernardin in New York City.

Beyond giving details about what the vintner buys, Kennedy necessarily expresses zeal about what the vintner drinks – exclusive, of course, of Component’s own releases.

“I love a great bottle of wine from almost anywhere in the world, but lately, I’ve been digging into the classics in Napa that get overlooked for newer, hipper brands,” he says. In specific, Kennedy cites Rutherford, California’s Inglenook; Angwin, California’s Dunn Vineyards; and St. Helena, California’s Heitz Wine Cellars before adding, “Old-school Napa is wonderful.”

From personal peregrinations, he also mentions a fondness for “south of the border” offerings. “Chile is incredible,” Kennedy says.

“Their views on wine and its place on the table are very refreshing.

Some of my favorites are Viña Ninquén’s syrah, Montsecano pinot noir and Casa Silva’s sauvignon blanc.”

In short, one can’t help suspecting Kennedy would smile at a second reference to FitzGerald’s Rubáiyát, to perhaps its most quoted and misquoted line: “A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread – and Thou …” A fresh baguette, the right “thou” and a release from his company all could make fine (pardon the wordplay) components of an afternoon or evening memorably spent.

L

ate summer and early fall have been busy for Katie and Ted Collier of Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria. At the beginning of September, the co-owners opened the restaurant’s second location in Town and Country. Later that same month, they officially launched their Vero Pizza & Pasta meal kit company.

On top of the new restaurant opening and the meal kit company’s launch, the Colliers have also just released their fall menu, which will be featured at both restaurant locations. The autumnal menu highlights some of the best offerings for the season.

“We always strive to use the best ingredients for the time of year,” Katie Collier says. “It also allows us to improve our skills as the years go by.”

Collier says they’ve swapped out 20 menu items

to make room for all the new featured dishes, which include everything from sweet potato gnocchi to clam pizza to capellini with caramelized fennel.

“Everything is made in-house from scratch,” she says. “We’re trying to get better every year, and this will be a beautiful menu.”

She notes that the restaurants do a lot of catering, and the fall dishes would be perfect for a catered event or holiday party.

After opening the new location, Collier says they’ve been listening to customer feedback on the restaurants’ current offerings. Adapting to some of the guest needs, the Colliers have extended happy hour. Instead of 2 to 5 p.m., it will now take place every day from 2 to 6 p.m. at both locations. With $7 pizza, $5 small plates, $6 bartender’s choice martinis

october 20, 2017 | Laduenews.com | A lAdue news speciAl promotion

and $5 for wine on tap, the extended happy hour will give customers more time to enjoy great deals and one another’s company.

Another addition that’s come directly from customer feedback is the installation of sound panels on the walls of the new location.

“We heard from customers that it was a little loud, so we wanted to make it better,” Collier says. “We want people to be comfortable in the restaurants and create an environment where people can come together and be together.”
