What’s your favorite “adult beverage” for the holidays (see p. 80)?

DIANE ANDERSON The bubbly. Call it Champagne, call it sparkling wine, I wouldn’t turn either one down! The holidays are a time of celebration and toasting, and I can’t think of a better way to do both!

Editor ‌My husband and I have loved cooking together since day one. There is something about talking, working together, learning from each other and creating a beautiful meal that simply makes me smile. Although we enjoy the preparation process, I think everyone can agree that sitting around the table to enjoy the result is the most satisfying part.

It wasn’t until I read this week’s Abode feature, though, which shares the story of Narrative Furniture – a St. Louis-based furniture company that creates custom heirloom-quality pieces for residences and retailers – that I really thought about the moments shared around our kitchen table.

We pray, laugh, talk about our lives, our goals, our futures … but most importantly, we are creating memories, which is the mission behind Narrative Furniture.

Starting on p. 31, LN contributing writer Brittany Nay’s story not only showcases Narrative Furniture’s beautiful tables but also shares the company’s goal: to craft furniture that creates special memories. We hope you enjoy the stunning tables featured in this story and also support a company with passion to make pieces that are built to last – in both your home and your family’s memories.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

he dictionary defines hope as “To want something to happen or be true and to think that it could happen or be true.”

These were the opening words shared by alumni Ashland Tate at the Boys Hope Girls Hope St. Louis 21st annual Evening of Hope Gala. Tate shared his story, thanking all for supporting the program and letting them know their support “turns the thought that it can happen into reality.” Evening of Hope chair Lisa Flavin brought home a winner, hosting nearly 400 guests and raising more than $400,000. The evening honored the board’s president, Bernie Schweiss, and his family with the 2016 Heart of Hope Award, and Jim and Cathy Berges were recognized as the 2016 Father Sheridan Reflection of Hope Recipients. This event was made possible by the support of the community.

ith more than 20 local chefs and more than 25 farms represented, the EarthDance Farmers Formal featured plenty of food to be washed down by a multitude of spirits and brews. The Union Station midway fit all the purveyors of food and drink, plus tables where guests played Farmers Formal Bingo. On arriving, guests were greeted by a days-old Jersey cow, and there were several chickens available as part of the live auction, which, with a silent auction, raised funds to help the EarthDance Organic Farm School grow food and to assist farmers and the community through multiple programs. Many guests came wearing “farm festive� attire, which they showed off while sampling food and drinks, and some guests even participated in a called contradance at the end of the night.

I feel like I’m becoming more connected with the community. I was there as a nutrition intern, and I was learning about the farm, learning about all of the educational programming the farm did, and after my mandatory time there, I found myself coming back simply because I fell in love with the farm. And I fell in love with the community, and it was a rich and rewarding experience to constantly not only give back to the organization but give back to so many different aspects of the community. The farm has a really close partnership with the Ferguson-Florissant School District, as well as many other nonprofit organizations. They overlap and they contribute – they co-contribute to many different programs, so I felt like I was not only becoming more involved with Ferguson but St. Louis as a whole and with health and education and public health. Those things are really dear to my heart, especially with youth.

upporters of Ready Readers recently gathered at the home of Dan and Mary Riew for cocktails, dinner and a short concert by St. Louis Symphony’s concertmaster, David Halen, and his wife, soprano Miran Halen.

The 40 or so guests were helping to support the mission of Ready Readers to inspire preschool-age children from low-income communities by reading aloud to them, increasing their exposure to quality books and providing literacy-related experiences.

Being a volunteer reader has really been rewarding because you can actually be very hands-on with these children. And I feel that the education in the early years – from, say, 3 to 5 – is critical in terms of teaching them how to enjoy books and really enjoying to read, and that’s a critical phase in their lives, and if you miss that opportunity, then you miss out quite a bit for their future lives.

The best part of being involved with this organization has been seeing its growth, which went from pretty meager in its early years, and then, with a committed board behind it, just took flight. And then with the addition of Erin Kelley as the director of advancement and these events and very committed community partners – and community leaders really have helped this organization take off, and really, the sky’s the limit for them at this point.

LANDSCAPE

Truly Illuminating

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

‌M

ake your winter garden path more inviting to holiday guests with cheery, flickering, candle luminaries. Although we’ve used every sort of garden illumination over the years, candle luminaries remain our favorite. Whether you’re considering outdoor lighting for décor or for safety purposes, here’s how to light your abode this winter in a truly illuminating fashion.

The classic luminary is a simple white paper bag with sand and an approximate four-hour votive. Fancy luminary bags, available in many colors and imaginative designs, can be purchased locally or on the internet. Although paper bags are single use, they require no storage. Conversely, rigid plastic luminaries do require storage space in the off-season.

Remote-control, battery-operated votives are simple, but drain batteries quickly if not properly switched off after every use.

One simple yet elegant reusable luminary, made from a canning jar, is illustrated on Bob Vila’s how-to website, bobvila.com. Birdfeeder chain for hanging is attached below the lid ring with wire. Added interest comes with dried beans as the filler. Any nonflammable granular material may be used as long as it has some density to support the candle and provide stability to the holder. Try Epsom salts, pebbles, colorful aquarium rocks or shells. With inorganic fillers, add a few tablespoons of water to facilitate easy candle replacement and cleaning.

For year-round use, invest in permanent quality by buying sturdy metal candle lanterns designed for outdoor use. Open holders are well suited to flameless electric candles. Glasswalled lanterns work best for traditional wax candles when used outdoors. Scale the lantern to your space, and select a style that’s companionable with your garden. For the Asianthemed courtyard of one of the columnists, the pagoda lantern from Frontgate would be the perfect choice.

If you have large permanent urns in front of your house, top them with sand, and add a cluster of straight-sided glass cylinder vases with thick pillar candles for gatherings.

Add some red twig dogwood branches, magnolia boughs or twisted willow for height. After the gathering, remove the candles and replace them with a collection of pine cones and holly berry sprigs for a lasting winter design.

The romantic aura from genuine flaming wax candles, though, demands caution. Start your candles safety by trimming wicks to ¼ inch. Long wicks can cause uneven burning and premature meltdown. Never use unprotected candles in drafty locations or close to other flammables.

Glass containers help minimize risk by containing sudden meltdowns or flare-ups without compromising light or beauty. Quality American-made candles will carry a firesafety label. Don’t be tempted by cheap decorative candles, as they’re more likely to have sudden flares that can start a house fire. If you use them, always place them on a large fireproof platter or tray to contain spillage. Also, place candles out of reach of small children. Have an up-to-date fire extinguisher handy, and make sure the batteries in your smoke detector are fresh – try to change them annually at the same time. For more candle safety tips, visit the National Candle Association’s website at candles. org/fire-safety-candles.

any of us can readily recall the furniture in our childhood home – the look, feel and scent of your family’s dining room table, for example, and all the special memories that happened around it. That’s the kind of nostalgia Narrative Furniture aims to evoke with its handmade, heirloom-quality creations. “We design and build furniture that we hope will be passed on – and with it, the memories,” says founder and chief executive officer Andy Kim. Kim, a Los Angeles native, moved to St. Louis four years ago and fell in love with the Gateway City’s rich history of manufacturing and entrepreneurial spirit. He launched Narrative Furniture under the umbrella company Larson Financial Foundation, where he is managing director. The foundation operates as a fund that invests in startup companies that benefit their surrounding communities – a mission that Kim is passionate about sharing in St. Louis.

Amid the historic charm of the 15,000-square-foot former Riefling Automobile Co. building in St. Louis’ Fox Park neighborhood, Narrative Furniture designs and builds contemporary, industrial-chic pieces for retail businesses, as well as residential properties. “We love building dining and coffee tables because people are usually gathered around them, but we enjoy building consoles, desks, accent tables, counters and cocktail tables, as well,” Kim says, adding that the company also creates kitchen accessories, including cheese boards and butcher blocks, as well as flower boxes.

Constructed by a six-person team led by a master craftsman with more than 40 years of professional woodworking experience, Narrative Furniture’s handmade pieces consist of solid premium hardwood and finished or raw steel – all for only about 10 percent more than prices at big-box furniture retailers, Kim notes.

“We only use the most premium hardwoods, ensuring that the color, grain, moisture content and integrity meet our standards,” he says, noting that about 90 percent of the company’s lumber is sourced from Missouri. “We build with the understanding that the outcome will only be as good as the materials used.”

The company’s signature lines include the Lunar Form and X Form collections. The Lunar Form pieces pay homage to midcentury modern design, refreshed by incorporating clean, sharp lines and adding dimension and depth through sculpted top edges. The collection comes in a variety of dimensions and hardwood options, such as maple and walnut.

“I absolutely love the tone, grain and feel – especially in walnut,” Kim says. And the X Form pieces are simple and clean, with perfectly proportional and functional design. “The steel base of the X Form allows room for knees, making it possible for as many [people] to squeeze around the table as possible.”

Narrative Furniture draws design inspiration from the city’s surroundings, such as local bridges’ cross-

braced steel support structures that influenced the X Form table. “Our design process starts with an idea on a sketchbook or napkin,” Kim says. “We then design in software, where we make adjustments and draw exact dimensions and solidify proportions. In the design phase, we are constantly thinking about structural integrity and functionality.”

Once a design is completed, a full-scale prototype or a 3-D model is built – and if the team likes what it sees, the piece goes into production. “The process of designing and building custom work is similar, but much more collaborative with the [retail or residential] clients to ensure we build what they envision,” Kim explains, adding that most of the collection-line pieces can be made in five to 10 days, while custom work typically takes up to three weeks.

Narrative Furniture has created an array of unique pieces for local businesses, including a custom waterfall walnut slab counter for Sump Coffee near Fox Park and custom communal tables and benches for Gezellig Tap House and Bottle Shop in The Grove. The company also constructed pieces for the residence of Mary McKay, dean of Washington University in St. Louis’ George Warren Brown School of Social Work, and her husband, Jan Browne.

“They each gave us a lot of design freedom, allowing us to have a ton of fun in the design and build,” Kim says.

Narrative Furniture’s goal is for clients to feel connected to their furniture and make great memories around it. “We love how furniture can often hold so many memories and take on very personal meaning,” Kim says.

Moving forward, Kim hopes to leave a legacy of memorable pieces at residences and retailers throughout the city. “We want to design and build things that last and that St. Louis can be proud of.”

because she was a stowaway in the womb, the twin, the second and final pregnancy.

She must have known. The most determined human being I know is Maggie. I always tell her to use her powers for good.

I hope she gets it someday.

She laughs the hardest and easiest. Never panicking, she possesses a wisdom and calm that is not normal in a 6 year old. Observing people and processes intrigues her.

She can sit for hours and do a single task or be alone and content. Beautiful and kind, she’s a reminder my family is most important. She’s one creation that I can admit seems absolutely perfect to me. My client built her space for her daughters which inspired me to let Maggie in on the photo shoot.

Day-to-Night Makeup

‌W

By Kimmie Gotch

orking women like to keep their makeup minimal during the day – but what happens when post-work plans unexpectedly arise?

Here’s how to easily achieve the perfect day-to-night transition.

During the workday, women commonly wear foundation, concealer, powder, blush and mascara – which together make a great base. On the outside chance that you run short on time before unexpected evening plans, though, always bring a makeup bag to work that includes makeup wipes, concealer, powder, bronzer, blush and eye makeup.

Then you can follow these simple steps to go from workaday to wow: 1. Remove your under-eye concealer with a makeup wipe because the concealer has likely dulled after eight or so hours of wear. Take care, though, not to strip any of your foundation.

2. Glam up your eye makeup either by creating a smoky eye or by adding a little shimmer to your lids. (Do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.)

3. Apply eyeliner and add another layer of mascara to your lashes.

4. Using another makeup wipe, remove any particulate eye shadow that may have settled beneath your peepers.

5. Reapply your concealer. Feel free to apply a healthy portion of concealer under your eyes; after all, you endured a long day at the office, and now, with luck, you have a long, fun night ahead of you – so layer on that concealer!

6. Set the concealer with powder so your under-eyes stay bright and beautiful all night long. At this point, also touch up any other parts of your face that need powder.

7. Add bronzer to your cheekbones’ contours.

8. Top off the apples of your cheeks with blush.

So! In just eight easy steps, you can be out the door and headed toward your evening adventure!

Showstopping

Style

By Katie Yeadon | Photos by sarah Conard

These five resplendent fall-perfect looks were inspired by the 2016 Ladue News Show House.

W

ith fresh interior design spanning a range of styles, the annual Ladue News Show House made the ideal backdrop for showcasing autumn’s colorful looks. This charming, historic abode, located at 4388 Westminster Place in the Central West End, recently underwent a complete reimagining courtesy of more than a dozen experts, who each added his or her own personality to the home.

Just as color, texture and dimension enliven this year’s Show House, they also can be applied to your fall wardrobe. When temperatures plunge, we tend more and more to dress in muted hues – but just because the weather’s dull, it doesn’t mean your closet should be, as well. This season, pepper your wardrobe with bright pieces that bring a bit of pop and shine to even the grayest of autumn days.

Editor’s Note: The 2016 Ladue News Show House, presented by Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty, closed to the public on Nov. 6, but you can learn more about the home, rooms and designers at laduenews.com.

The BLues Wearing the blues from head to toe will keep you from singing them when the weather outside gets frightful.

weddings & Engagements

By Amanda Dahl

Lo’Real Bass & Olubunmi Akingbade ‌Mr. and Mrs. Richard and Kim Bass are thrilled to announce the engagement of their daughter, Lo’Real Chiffon, to Olubunmi (Bunmi) Babatunde, son of Dr. and Mrs. Harrison and Margaret Akingbade. Ms. Eunice Bass, grandmother of Lo’Real, joins in sharing the celebratory news.

The bride-to-be graduated in 2002 from Ladue Horton Watkins High School. She earned her bachelor’s in 2006 from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, and her master’s in interdisciplinary graduate studies from Iowa State University. Lo’Real works as a technical recruiter for Diversant.

The future groom graduated in 2006 with a bachelor’s in architectural engineering from North Carolina A&T State University. He is a project engineer at McFarland Construction, Inc. The couple first met in North Carolina at a Charlotte Chamber of Commerce networking event, hosted at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, when Lo’Real found a place to set her appetizer plate at Bunmi’s table. They exchanged business cards and went to the Alive After Five Networking event, which took place at the Charlotte Epicenter, that same evening. Bunmi connected with Lo’Real online through LinkedIn, inviting her to see Jurassic World in theaters the very next night. On Lo’Real’s birthday, August 13, in 2016, the couple got engaged in Charlotte, North Carolina, at Independence Park. They plan to marry on May 6 in St. Louis and will reside in Charlotte.

To have your wedding or engagement featured in Ladue News, contact Amanda Dahl at 314-269-8833 or laduenewsweddings@gmail.com.

It makes me feel bad for all players because that’s all you are to people. ... You’re not a thinking person, an individual. You’re just a football player.

- JACKIE SMITH saw the child who needed a smile, he lifted her high above his head. She giggled with delight. That girl was my daughter, and she felt the same thrill I did 40 years earlier in the sure hands of the same football star – remarkable.

J

ackie Smith, a former tight end in the National Football League, made two of the most remarkable moves ever by a professional football player – moves that, in my opinion, prove why he embodies everything we’d like our sports stars to be. The moves in question happened approximately four decades apart, and although Smith told me he doesn’t remember either, I do. But I’ll explain later.

Fans of St. Louis’ old football team, the Cardinals, likely remember big No. 81 as the consummate tight end. He was tough, fast, skilled, admirable and gracious. These days it seems there aren’t too many comparable players in the NFL. Maybe that’s why TV ratings are way down – players are known more for controversy and alleged abuse than being gallant warriors of the gridiron. When I was a kid, though, football players were idols, and Jackie Smith was always my favorite.

Smith was one of the most reliable pass catchers in the game. He retired as the most prolific tight end in NFL history with a record 7,918 receiving yards, five straight Pro Bowls and 40 career touchdowns. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame after 15 seasons with the Cardinals and one Super Bowl season with the Dallas Cowboys. After his 1977 season in St. Louis, Smith retired; the next year, though, he was brought out of retirement by legendary Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry.

At 38, Smith became a key player for the Cowboys in their run to Super Bowl XIII against the equally titanic Pittsburgh Steelers. Although most of us remember Smith for the entirety of his career, there are some who know him only for the Super Bowl touchdown pass he didn’t catch. The surest hands in football wide open in the end zone, and he dropped the ball. The memorable video and call is replayed almost every year. “Bless his heart, he’s got to be the sickest man in America,” proclaimed announcer Verne Lundquist. Dallas eventually lost, and even though a lot of other factors cost the Cowboys the game, Smith was unfairly saddled with the brunt of blame. “Well sure, you think about it, and I don’t care to explain it, I don’t care to talk about it,” Smith says. “What can you say? Sometimes I get ticked off about it.”

Now 76, Smith is still a specimen of a man. During our conversation at the Des Peres Lodge, where we’ve run into each other several times over the years, he demonstrates with quick, long strides and the sharp-pass-route cuts that made him so hard to stop on the field. Although he loves to talk about the glory days, he stresses that players shouldn’t be judged only by what they did on the field. “It makes me feel bad for all players because that’s all you are to people,” Smith says. “You’re not a thinking person, an individual. You’re just a football player.” We know better, though. Character and family are better gauges of a lifetime. Smith’s four children and 14 grandchildren all call St. Louis home. His daughter Sheri is an elementary school principal in north St. Louis, and Smith says he is proud of them all. “They’ve done well, and they’re great kids because of their mom and because they were able to live in this great area.”

About those moves I mentioned earlier. It was 1967 when a 9-year-old boy sat on a hallway bench in the Stadium Club at Busch Stadium II waiting for his parents long after a Cardinals football game had ended. He was uncomfortable in his coat and tie and bored to tears when Jackie Smith stepped out of an elevator. Smith was bruised and battered from the game, but approached the boy, whose head hung glumly in his hands. When the boy looked up, he saw his idol – a giant with curly blonde hair and a huge smile. Smith reached down and lifted the boy high above his head before safely returning him to earth, saying, “Smile, Coach.” That boy was me. The thrill of that moment never left. Fast-forward to 2007, when a bored 7-year-old girl sat waiting for her parents in the Fox 2 Newsroom. Jackie Smith was there on business, but when he

The C Suite BUSINESS NOTES Is Your Vision Big Enough? “‌ Thinking about what you want that is achievable is the norm. Seeing beyond the boundaries of what you think you can do that dares you to dream to your limit is worth seeking and can bring you the most fulfilling moments of your life.” –An Ottley-ism

T

o remain competitive in business, it is important to be innovative and futuristic in your thinking – especially to remain a valuable resource for constantly changing customer demand. Although tradition should not be compromised for those who travel near and far to obtain staple products, they still need to supplement tradition with trends and technology – even if there is something to be said for businesses that make tradition and unchanging quality their marketing brand.

Alternative ways to attract new, discerning consumers are necessary. In today’s market, new businesses are growing significantly. The internet is dominated by new products and affordable access to old ones.

Those business owners who are passionate about their vision for growth, while wanting to retain marketability,

may want to consider some of the following: ‌Are you settling because you are afraid to try new ways to introduce either your product or service to a new customer base? ‌Do you need help expanding your customer base without compromising quality? Do you have the fulfillment capabilities to respond to the potential new demand? ‌Do you have a great idea, but when it’s shared with others, they think it is wishful thinking?

Consider these points of caution: ‌Avoid becoming a victim of your own shortsighted limitations. ‌Calculate your risks and potential gains. Decide if it’s worth the risk. ‌Ask yourself why you are inspired to think bigger and want more. ‌Think about value alignment. Does this bigger vision challenge or complement what is really important to you?

Also, consider these points of motivation: ‌If you are passionate about it, try it. Take a calculated risk. I’m not sure which is worse – a dream

By Charlotte VM Ottley

deferred out of fear or a future spent agonizing over “should’ve, would’ve or could’ve”! ‌Ask for help. Take time to seek what may seem impossible. I have a very practical example: Recently a young lady started a company making cakes in a jar.

Her refrigerator broke, and she heard about a women’s forum on the radio and an opportunity to win $1,000 – just what she needed to get a new refrigerator. With all the problems she had to address, she stopped to attend the forum and left as the winner of the $1,000.

Sitting at home thinking about not winning would have helped no one. ‌Have pride in your dream. Be sincere and enthusiastic when seeking support. Think of how it benefits others.

Is your vision big enough to fulfill your dreams?

TOMORROW’S MEDICINE, TODAY:

Minimally invasive spine surgery If you are one of the millions suffering from back pain due to conditions like degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, sciatica or spinal deformity or fractures, new surgical techniques may offer you the relief of traditional spine surgery with less destruction to your normal muscle and tissues.

Now, minimally invasive spine surgery can accomplish the spinal decompression and/or stabilization of traditional surgery, while protecting the normal structures of the spine. Minimally invasive surgery also has the potential to lower the risk of infection and decrease your overall length of stay in the hospital.

Although some people think minimally invasive means small incision, this is not always true—the size of the incision is actually the least important part of the surgery. Minimally invasive surgery focuses on protecting the muscles and ligaments in the normal areas of the spine while still safely and effectively addressing your condition.

Though minimally invasive techniques continue to be refined, a few conditions may best be treated with a traditional opensurgery approach. These conditions include a high-degree of spinal deformity, tumors and some infections.

Benefits of minimally invasive spine surgery include: • Less pain after surgery • Shorter hospital stay • Potential for earlier return to activity • Less disruption to important muscles and stabilizers of the spine • Decreased risk of infection • Less blood loss

How manners can go a long way in court St a n g e L a w F i r m , P C

When a party goes to court for a divorce or family law matter, manners can go hand-in-hand with having a successful outcome. The reality is judges can quickly come to an impression about somebody when they are in front of the judge.

So, if a party is well-mannered and respectful, this can have a positive effect on the case outcome. On the flip-end, if somebody is not well mannered and disrespectful, this can have an adverse effect.

“What are good manners in the courtroom?” “And what should I not say or do in the courtroom?” These are common questions that a party asks when they have a court date coming up in their case.

First, “your honor,” is an expression that every party coming to a court should include in their vocabulary.

When asked a question by a judge, “your honor” is one of the most important phrases a party has to know. Many of 64 November 18, 2016 | LadueNews.com

the responses of a party will simply call for a “yes, your honor” or a “no, your honor” response.

It is critical as well to only speak when spoken to or given permission to speak. For many parties, they want to speak up a lot. They want to interrupt the judge, the other attorney or their own attorney. They want to be argumentative and make their case. This is almost always a mistake.

If a party wants to say something, it is almost always best said through their attorney. This is why they paid to have an attorney in the first place.

To the extent it is even appropriate for them to speak, asking for permission from the court is definitely advisable in most instances.

When given the opportunity to speak, it is important to seem evenkeeled and level-headed in the courtroom. It is important to be respectful and not argumentative in family court.

A party also has to read the body language well of a judge. If the judge looks annoyed or irritated about what is being said, it is important for a party to catch these queues and stop talk-

ing.

Body language is also important as well. A lot can be said in a courtroom that can be frustrating for a party going through a divorce or family law matter. But if a party looks angry or frustrated, or if a party sighs, shrugs their shoulders or throws up their hands in response to what is said, this generally does not come off well in court.

For most parties, it is better to sit stone-faced when others are speaking–no matter whether what is being said is beneficial or negative toward them. Even passing notes to an attorney, when over-done, during a trial or hearing can make an adverse impression.

Hyken’s Homework Teen Angst ‌I recently presented to a professional group, courtesy of the Mental Health Association of St. Louis, a nonprofit dedicated to “improving the care and treatment of persons living with mental illness.” We watched a film titled It’s Kind of a Funny Story, which takes a lighthearted but poignant look at mental illness in teens. After the film, I spoke about depression in adolescents and treatment options.

At the heart of the film’s story is a loving family with a teenage boy who’s conflicted by his parents’ desire that he attend a rigorous preparatory school despite his wish to study at a creative arts academy. The students in the story reminded me of my children and their friends – intelligent and socially conscious, but still just kids faced with making “big” decisions.

As I watched the movie – and read the book, Ned Vizzini’s 2006 novel of the same name – it made me think about how angst-filled the teenage years can be.

Social drama, academic pressure and hormones take

over. Friends become more important than family, every decision is a major decision, and adults “just don’t understand.”

Parenting a teen differs significantly from parenting a child because most teenagers think they have the answers to all of life’s questions. And while it is true that we are older and wiser than our children, they don’t see it that way.

To connect with your independent-thinking adolescent, focus more on listening and less on talking. When appropriate, interject your opinions.

Open, nonjudgmental communication creates conscientious, right-thinking children who will ultimately make good decisions.

Unfortunately, most parents will experience extreme and conflicting emotions while raising adolescents: sadness followed by joy, worry followed by excitement, or anxiety followed by a sense of calm.

To survive, you yourself should indulge in some quality self-care. Commiserate with other parents over

By Dr. Russell Hyken a good meal or a cup of coffee – share stories, find humor and understand that you’re not alone.

Teenagers are self-centered individuals searching for identity. Arguments typically increase because of emerging independence, but the torment, for the most part, remains short-lived. Disagreement coincides with healthy development. Conflicts will decrease as a teen matures, gains his or her self-confidence and understands his or her identity.

The teen years brim with emotional ups and downs.

Support your child and empathize with his or her concerns. Provide a warm family environment, and your kids will mature into responsible young adults.

TEST DRIVE: 2017 BMW

X5 xDrive35i Story and photos by Ryan Scott

Crossovers are the new sales kings, but does bmw’s X5 wear the Crown?

68

november 18, 2016 | LadueNews.com

PRICE AS TESTED: $70,320 LOANER FROM: Plaza BMW plazabmw.com

F

or generations, auto manufacturers poured R&D resources into the crowded, yet lucrative, four-door family sedan market. If big sales numbers were the goal, that was the space to play.

But the times, they are a-changin’ – or in this case, they’ve already changed. Sedans have abdicated the throne to the new sales king, the SUV. Specifically, midsize crossovers are the new sales champions worldwide. Practicality has been the main reason, with driving enjoyment lagging in buyers’ mindsets. In recent years, however, more driver-oriented brands such as BMW have made a concerted effort to bring fun back. For buyers, that can be interpreted only as a good thing.

In fact, the term crossover implies an SUV that drives more like a car than a light truck. And in the luxury segment, BMW practically invented the idea with the introduction of the X5 in 1999. In ’99, the moniker crossover hadn’t yet been coined.

BMW’s marketing crew knew SUV wasn’t applicable and conceived SAV (sport activity vehicle) as a way to highlight its on-road driving prowess. Although what it’s referred to has changed, the idea of sacrificing off-road capability for on-road dynamics stuck and has since reverberated throughout the industry. In BMW’s case, the X5 now outsells the 5-series sedan.

As more proof of just how competitive the crossover market has become, BMW currently offers five distinct models. For this drive, I tested its best-selling X5, specifically an xDrive35i.

It’s a complete package, if at first glance understated. Exterior styling remains very on-brand, though a bit forgettable, with a few interesting elements tied into an overall ho-hum profile. A Ford Explorer-owning friend called it “a sharp-looking car,” but overall it blends into the daily traffic ebb and flow more than I would prefer.

The inside mysteriously mixes dated and modern styling, as if its designers hadn’t quite decided which direction to pursue. However, materials and fit-finish embrace a very high caliber: The seats are highly adjustable and provide support and comfort for long drives.

Analog gauges blend seamlessly with a customizable LCD display in what’s probably the most successful design exercise. A huge panoramic roof lightens the overall dark theme significantly, and outward visibility in all directions is excellent. The 10.2-inch LCD screen is bright, and the adept iDrive integration, even with myriad configuration possibilities, is simple and intuitive.

But the most wow-inducing moment came when, after the BMW was put in reverse, a bird’s-eye view of the car appeared on-screen. Regarding that feature, dubbed Surround View by BMW, my first thought was “How is that possible?”

Power comes from a six-cylinder 3.0-liter engine featuring BMW’s twin-power turbo

technology, and direct injection. Rated at 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, it’s one of the smoothest engines available anywhere. The nearly 5,000-pound X5 is no rocket, but 60 mph sprints happen faster than expected. On-road, the theme of smooth continues. Cruising at 75, I wondered, “Why is everyone driving at 50 mph?” before checking the speedometer. With driving mode set to comfort, sensory inputs are greatly dulled should you want to simply float home after a long day in the office.

But with this X5, the transition to sport mode brings a significant transformation to the driving experience. Steering tightens, the suspension gives more feedback in all directions and the throttle response sharpens significantly. No, it doesn’t turn this people-hauler into a go-kart, but enough fun infuses the experience to keep things fresh.

Steering feel is probably the biggest letdown of this X5, however, as it can occasionally give a floaty performance that doesn’t inspire confidence. Although I did occasionally hustle it around some twists, the vague on-center feel and need for more subtle input than necessary kept me from truly exploring its limits.

Taken in its entirety and in the target market, the X5 succeeds nicely. It’s also highly configurable to any would-be buyer. The M Sport package increases curb appeal and would likely sharpen chassis dynamics.

A new plug-in hybrid option is available, and although it offers a short range, for those with light daily commutes, it’s compelling. The salesperson I spoke with mentioned a new plug-in-hybrid owner who filled his tank for the first time after 1,100 miles of ownership.

For power junkies, the 50i ups the ante to a 445-horsepower turbo V-8. And of course, no one can ignore the thundering 567-horsepower beast that is the X5 M. Any qualms with driving excitement vanish if one can make the financial leap to the M model.

The X5, in short, offers a lot to like and even a few things to love. But it’s not all roses in this highly crowded market. I’d certainly welcome a bit more pizazz, both inside and out. And I would appreciate a car that speaks to me behind the wheel: Instead of just saying, “OK, I’ll do that,” I want to occasionally feel an enthusiastic “Hell, yeah, let’s go!”

Does the X5 reign as king of the luxury crossover segment? To be honest, I’m not ready personally to make that leap yet. It’s certainly on the short list, but over the coming months, we’ll investigate its competitors and further assess which wears the crown these days.

ince 1984, Advanced Nursing Services of St. Louis has provided quality, private-duty nursing care to the St. Louis community.

Founder Maggie Holtman says the company began with a handful of nurses and one patient, and has grown exponentially.

“We’re still a lot like we were with our first patient, and I’m proud of that,” she says.

“We get calls from people who are having same day surgery and need someone there with them in the hospital, people who are being discharged from the hospital and don’t want to go home alone … There isn’t anything we don’t do,” Holtman says.

The Advanced Nursing team is flexible and is very strict about privacy.

“We’re extremely careful in caring for our clients and protecting their privacy,” Holtman says.

Continuity of care is a big part of Advanced Nursing’s

specialty. Any hour of the day, any day of the week, the team is available to help its patients.

“We know that it’s hard to let a stranger into your home,” Holtman says. “It’s all about putting together the right nursing aide or skilled nurse that fit our client’s needs and we are very good about doing that. Right now, we have the best team we’ve ever had.”

fare inspired by old-world Italian techniques.

In one of its biggest departures from Niche, chefs at Sardella will no longer be limited to working with ingredients sourced within a 300-mile radius. The restaurant is still committed to sourcing locally, but chefs are now free to work with once-prohibited ingredients like seafood and chocolate.

Heading the kitchen is executive chef Nick Blue, who moved from Brasserie to Niche in April. The dinner menu features shareable plates like pistachiowhite bean hummus with charred bread, house-made dinner rolls served with black garlic butter and gnocco fritto, airy dough pockets filled with crème fraîche and topped with house-cured gravlax, bone marrow, citrus and tarragon. Pasta dishes include uni carbonara with spaghetti, guanciale and Parmesan; potato gnocchi with Sun Gold tomatoes, mint and white wine and miso-ricotta ravioli with orange, pepitas, brown butter and tarragon.

On the heartier side, look for entrées like barramundi with mussels, sorrel butter and greens;

roasted chicken with charred broccoli and preserved lemon; stout-braised lamb neck served with fresh Italian tortillas and steak with miso butter and herb salad. They all make perfect options before catching All Is Calm at Mustard Seed Theatre.

For dessert, executive pastry chef Sarah Osborn has reintroduced several ingredients she wasn’t allowed to work with under Niche’s strict hyperlocal focus, including chocolate, white sugar and several types of nuts. “It’s been an open playing field,” she says.

“Honestly, it’s been hard to narrow down because I have so many ideas.” Opt for a pistachio-white chocolate panna cotta with candied pistachio, cookie crumble and blueberries or chocolate cremeaux with peanut butter and grape. Osborn says seasonality is still a huge focus of the menu, though; one of her current favorite dishes is a crème fraîche semifreddo with an applesauce cake, apple terrine, ginger crumble and dehydrated apple chips.

Breakfast includes lighter options like coconut “yogurt” made with coconut milk and pulp with

n June, Gerard Craft dropped a bombshell on the St. Louis dining scene when he announced he’d be closing his flagship restaurant, Niche – just a year after winning the James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef: Midwest – to make way for a new concept.

“We open restaurants that we want to go to, and we talked about it – where do we want to go? – and we didn’t want to go to Niche,” Craft said at the time.

“It wasn’t the food – it’s that it carries this obligation.

People dress up and come [to Niche] for special occasions, and we want to serve good food that’s fun …

A place that’s innovative and interesting and fun and casual at night.”

Now, after months of R&D at pop-ups around the city, the highly awaited new restaurant, Sardella, is open. Sardella is officially open for dinner and breakfast service, with lunch service to come later.

Despite the restaurant’s name, which translates as “sardine” from Italian, Craft says Sardella won’t be a strictly Italian restaurant; rather, the food will offer “a wink to Italy” by serving fresh and modern seasonal

granola, berries and dates; avocado toast with Aleppo pepper, a smoked salmon English muffin and a grain bowl with farro, kimchi, Swiss chard and a fried egg. Blue says most of the breakfast menu is designed for grab-and-go, including pastries made by Osborn and a coffee program from Sump Coffee in St. Louis.

The space itself has been completely remodeled and redesigned by Sasha Malinich of S. Aleksandr Malinich Design, including a new logo from local creative agency Atomicdust. Gone are the white tablecloths and warm wood accents; now, bright gold-orange banquette seating runs across the left side of the restaurant, while a much-expanded bar, with seating for eight, runs across the right. Bright blue-and-white Italian tile adds a fun pop of color to the bar, while vintage sardine cans line the wall above the pass.

‌Story: Five months after the outbreak of World War I, a number of allied soldiers (represented by the English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish) and German troops positioned in trenches alongside “no man’s land” in Europe stopped fighting for a brief, but poignant, period on Christmas Eve in 1914. Tentative and leery at first, they slowly emerged from their rat-infested trenches to extend holiday greetings to one another.

They sang songs, exchanged simple gifts and even participated in an impromptu soccer game on the frozen terrain.

Later, they were admonished by superiors for this breach of protocol in warfare, which was never repeated because of threats of disciplinary action. But for several hours on Christmas Eve and Christmas, four years before the conclusion of “The War to End All Wars,” soldiers on opposite sides of the conflict dared to show their shared humanity on a quiet battlefield.

Highlights: Directed by Mustard Seed Theatre artistic director Deanna Jent along with musical director Joe Schoen, this hauntingly beautiful and deceptively simple one-hour musical is masterfully performed for the fourth consecutive – and final – time by a finely tuned ensemble.

An enormously popular production when first performed in 2013, All Is Calm won five St. Louis Theatre Circle awards, including Best Musical and Best Ensemble in a Musical.

Other Info: Peter Rothstein, artistic director of Theatre Latte Da in Minneapolis, spent two years researching this historical incident at museums and libraries in Belgium and England. Collaborating with Erick Lichte and Timothy Takach, former members of the Minneapolis-based male vocal chamber ensemble known as Cantus, they created the a cappella musical All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 in 2007.

The script is based on letters and observations of men who served in those trenches, while the tunes are a collection of traditional carols and folk songs as well as melodies popular in the early 20th century.

Since Jent first presented All Is Calm in 2013, audiences have continued to grow for the poignant, fact-based musical. The message of friendship and peace conveyed by soldiers on both sides of the terrible war fought a century ago is timeless and inspiring.

Combined with the masterful vocal abilities of the men who perform in Mustard Seed’s productions, the resilient core of All Is Calm resonates with sold-out houses.

Kyra Bishop’s scenic design depicts

the austere battlefield landscape with soldiers from opposing factions on either side of the set, and complements the grit with some beautiful backdrops of a clear winter’s night.

Each of the 10 men in the cast gets the chance to do solo work and all of them take advantage of the opportunity. They also verbalize the hopes and wishes of ordinary men placed in a most undesirable situation.

Luke Steingruby is the only player who has performed in each of Mustard Seed’s All Is Calm productions, while Kent Coffel and Steve Jent make their debuts with this 2016 version. Each does splendid work solo as well as blending seamlessly on ensemble numbers.

The cast also features a number of singers who have appeared in at least one previous edition of Mustard Seed’s All Is Calm franchise – namely Paul Cereghino, Steve Isom, Greg Lhamon, Gerry Love, Antonio Rodriguez, Kelvin Urday and Jeff Wright. They shine when singing Christmas carols, traditional folk songs or tunes popular in the World War I era.

Throughout the performance, director Jent utilizes the entire stage to expand the geographical imprint of the soldiers’ gestures of kindness. Schoen’s musical direction is tight and telling in how each performer shapes his songs.

Their tunes turn depressingly discordant after the troops are ordered to cease and desist their mutual camaraderie, with an English bugle call then sounding a somber finality to their spontaneous civility.

All Is Calm is an excellent choice for a holiday show, as it underscores what the spirit of Christmas was meant to be, doing so in a touching and tuneful manner.

The Wine Life WHAT I AM DRINKING NOW…

By Stanley Browne

‌2014 J.L. CHAVE, SILENE – CROZES-HERMITAGE, NORTHERN RHONE, FRANCE Grape: 100% Syrah Winemaker/Owner: Jean-Louis Chave Aged: 18 months in 600-liter French oak Approximate Retail Price: $30 TASTING NOTES: Color: Dark ruby garnet Aroma: Dark berries, cherries, spice notes, pepper Taste: Fruits upfront of rich black plum, currants, black cherry, black pepper, with lasting fruit, savoriness and acidity balancing the finish

T

he J.L. Chave winery has been in the Chave family since 1481, and Jean-Louis Chave is the 16th generation. He joined his father after completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Connecticut and fulfilling a degree in oenology from Davis. Chave married Erin, a

is the soil is granite and comes from the hillsides located between Larnage and Gervans, as opposed to most Crozes being on alluvial valley floor. Granite soil gives more backbone and structure to wines.

Chave believes that his winery’s grapes come from many different soil types, and the key to producing those wines is the art of blending the parcels for the final wines. The winery believes in traditional farming, low yields, full ripeness and minimal manipulation, using organic farming practices.

This is a great fall wine to go with all those heartier dishes and will pair well with turkey and cranberry for Thanksgiving!

Food Pairings: Earth-driven Syrah needs savory foods like cassoulet, braised short ribs, mushrooms, lamb, duck, barbecue and steak.

St. Louis native, who lives there but comes back to visit family and to work the wine market, selling the winery’s products here.

Northern Rhone is home to Syrah and has some of the world’s greatest wines, whereas Southern Rhone, which produces 10 times as much wine, is mostly Grenache. Northern Rhone Syrah is what other wineries around the world strive for when producing Syrah.

Adding a small amount of Viognier to Syrah started in the highly sought-after Côte-Rôtie appellation. Crozes-Hermitage is the appellation on the outlining region of the famed Hermitage, which tends to be more expensive and for which the Chave winery is known to produce some of the most praised and popular wines from there.

Crozes-Hermitage is a region also known to produce quality wine, but at much greater value. Syrah is the only permitted red grape for the AOC, and the rules allow up to 15 percent white grapes, Marsanne and Roussanne.

What is great about the Silene Crozes

Glass Raise a

T

he holiday season has arrived, and that means a lot of us will be entertaining family and friends. Instead of being stuck behind the bar making drinks while everyone else celebrates, give yourself a break this year and make cocktails in batches – you can serve these easily or just have guests pour their own.

It’s easy to make a batch of your favorite cocktail, but you need to keep two things, in particular, in mind: First, citrus juices, especially lemons and limes, are more potent in larger amounts. Don’t just scale up the measurements – start by using around 25 percent of what the total would be, and then add more incrementally to taste. (The same goes for bitters.)

Second, if you’re going to put your drink in a pitcher with ice, account for dilution. If possible, I like to keep the batch in the fridge to avoid this, but if that’s not an option, you can put the pitcher in a tub and pack ice around it.

That said, cheers!
