EDITOR ‌IT’S A FAMILY TRADITION OF OURS TO PILE IN THE CAR IN LATE December and ooh and aah at the twinkling lights gracing the homes around town. This year, though, I believe we started what will be a new tradition. Instead of piling in the car, we toured the grand opening of the Saint Louis Zoo’s Wild Lights display.

Between the mild temperatures, our little boy’s happy reaction to the penguins splashing about and, of course, the stunning lights, it was a night to remember. However, the zoo isn’t the only place in St. Louis with show-stopping light displays sure to get you in the holiday spirit.

Starting on p. 62, make sure to check out LN copy editor and staff writer Bryan A. Hollerbach’s story on the various joyous displays making your season just a little brighter. Whether enjoying holiday lights is already a family tradition or one in the making, we hope you find this story helpful for planning a delightful evening surrounded by those you love most.

All the best,

Alecia Humphreys

t Jim Butler Alfa Romeo and Jim Butler Maserati, located ted at 3050 S. Hanley Road in Maplewood, customers can find the luxury Italian car of their dreams and the best in service.

Brad Sowers, president of Jim Butler Auto Group, says that the franchise was opened because the two brands bring a new luxury to St. Louis.

Sowers says that they operate according to a particular theory at Jim Butler: that the “bored luxury driver” grows weary of the same German engineering and notso-great customer service. At Jim Butler, this condition is remedied by introducing customers to exceptional service and gorgeous, well-designed vehicles.

“When they come in and drive a luxury vehicle, they see true beauty, performance and determination,” Sowers says.

He notes that Jim Butler is doing very well with the Maserati brand, making it one of the top dealerships in the region.

“We’re blessed to be doing a good job,” Kyle Kaverman and Brad Sowers | Photo by Sarah Conroy he says.

Jim Butler Maserati and Jim Butler Alfa Romeo stand out in the St. Louis automotive market for their superior service and professionalism. It offers a range of perks to customers, from a high-end Butler concierge service to ensuring that customers have a loaner car while their vehicle is serviced.

Whether they’re they re here locally or nationally, we’ll we ll “Whether deliver the vehicle to them,” Sowers says. “We’ve seen luxury service erode in the area, but we are making sure our customers are satisfied.”

General manager and part-owner, Kyle Kaverman note that both luxury lines have new vehicles debuting in 2018. Maserati introduced the Levante SUV and has restyled its other three models. Alfa Romeo, which just launched in 2017, has added a SUV – the Stelvio – to its lineup. With so much activity on the horizon in 2018, the Jim Butler team has high hopes for its dealerships.

“We’re going to continue to increase volume,” Sowers says. “Our internet presence has more than doubled, allowing us to sell across the country. As customer needs evolve, we’ll find new solutions, whether it’s moving from a sports car to an SUV or vice versa. As you mature and your kids are out of the house, we’ll be here for you.”

Sowers says customers are successful in finding the luxury vehicle they’re looking for at Jim Butler because of the unique qualities found in Maseratis and Alfa Romeo vehicles.

“These vehicles look distinctive,” Sowers says. “People are being noticed while driving them.”

I read Ladue News...

The Ladue News is a valuable resource for learning about the community in which we reside. It provides a succinct summary on varied topics of interest, including charitable foundations, and events about town. I applaud the recognition of educational institutions in our community, and stories of personal triumphs. It’s great to have access to timely information in an appealing format, and to read about organizations I support such as The Deaconess Foundation, STAGES-ST. LOUIS, and more. I tip my hat to Ladue News.

Post-Holiday Remodeling

By Jill Worobec | Photos supplied by Mosby Building Arts

‌I

t’s common during the holiday season to become very aware of all the little issues in your home that decorations can’t camouflage – outdated bathrooms, cramped kitchens, ill-functioning appliances or even lack of guest bedrooms into which visitors can retreat after a late night of entertaining. During this season, keep the following five things in mind. Then, after the holidays, start remodeling.

1.

While hosting, watch foot traffic through all of your home’s living spaces. Does it bottleneck or flow as you hoped? Few experiences can seem more stifling than getting stuck in the hall between the living room and the kitchen while waiting to go through the dinner line – or just to grab a drink.

Opening tight hallways and creating more common space make a great remodeling solution.

2.

Decide whether you have enough storage space and if that space occupies the most efficient locations. Basement storage can seem great, but how convenient does that location become for your entertaining glassware and silver serving set? Take note of where you lack proper storage where you entertain.

A kitchen layout change may be just the fix you need!

3.

Reconsider the order of your kitchen.

If you’re running from the refrigerator to the stove and then around the island to the pantry to grab a spice, only to run back again, your kitchen may not be efficiently ordered. Does your refrigerator door open to a wall? When you have the dishwasher open, can you still open your oven or a nearby cabinet? These issues are not part of the ideal work triangle in a kitchen space. During your remodel, switching the location of the pantry and the refrigerator may greatly ease cooking complications – and may not only save you a few steps but also spare you a lot of frustration in the process.

4.

Pay attention to where everyone congregates. If that congregation involves a work area, should the area be modified? We all love to hang out where the food is, so your kitchen and eating space may need to be designed to flow and function for cooking and entertaining. Take notes on where your guests end up during a party, and pay attention to the seating areas as much as the serving areas. Your remodel could open up the space between the kitchen and the dining room, for example, and improve your entertaining space for next year’s holiday gatherings.

5.

Pay attention to where guests’ boots, hats and coats end up. Is your coat closet near the front door and large enough for your guests’ things, or do you find yourself using an upstairs guest bedroom for storage? Constant frustrations, even the ones that seem small at the time, can be easily improved with a remodel to your space.

Creating functional and beautiful spaces fulfills a designer’s dream for clients – so once we enter the new year, use that flip of the calendar page as an opportunity to improve your living and entertaining spaces. Less stress for you and your guests will be so worth it.

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING

By Brittany Nay | Photos by Sarah Conroy

St. Louis boutique Bonboni Home & Gift Co. carries unique antiques, refurbished furniture and handmade home décor.

L

auren Thorp was burnt out. After years of intense, 18-hour workdays in the demanding tech startup industry in bustling big cities around the country, the St. Louis native decided to take a breather, return to her roots – and tap into her creative side.

When Thorp moved home three years ago, she and her husband, Justin, found their picture-perfect property – a 120-year-old home with an adjacent former candy shop in St. Louis’ historic Shaw neighborhood. The boutique space was the cherry on top for Thorp, who always dreamed of having her own store as an artistic outlet. “It was a godsend,” she says.

This October, following a year of renovating and building inventory in the newfound boutique, Thorp opened Bonboni Home & Gift Co., an eclectic, farmhouse-style shop offering handmade home décor, antiques and refurbished furniture. “We did research on the building and found out it was a candy store for a few decades more than 100 years ago,” Thorp says of the reasoning behind the shop’s sweet name.

The charming store, open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays, with expanded hours to come, boasts a curated selection of crafty home décor – from rugs, throw pillows, tea towels, dishware, vases, mirrors, frames and tote bags to candles and soaps – as well as jewelry, from stone necklaces to bejeweled earrings, all handmade by artists from around the country. In addition, the shop recently added stationery, gift wrap and other accessories for the holidays. And though much of the décor and many of gifts are seemingly for the woman of the house, the boutique also caters to men, with items such as handmade beer soap, bow ties and card wallets.

As for Bonboni’s unique antiques, the eclectic collection is sourced from St. Louis estate sales, flea markets and, as Thorp says, “any friend’s grandmother’s basement that is being cleaned out,” adding, “We pick out the best of the best.” Thorp says she loves the thrill of the find as she lives out her longtime dream of serving as shopkeeper, stylist, curator and furniture artist extraordinaire.

In addition to its inventory of refinished furniture, from dressers to dining tables, side tables and chairs, Bonboni also offers custom furniture refurbishing. Thorp carefully cleans, sands, repairs, primes, paints and seals worn, outdated furniture into artsy showpieces for your home. “I love making old things shine again,” she says. Interested clients can contact her through the boutique’s website, bonbonistl.com, to request a commission.

For one recent project, Thorp transformed an aged wooden mini-buffet cabinet with a pop of turquoise-tinted paint in a watercolorlike finish, while another piece she recently refurbished was a dresser featuring antique white paint and a mixture of brass pulls and mercury glass knobs.

As the shop grows, Thorp plans to extend its hours, as well as host do-it-yourself classes in the homey, welcoming space. “The future of retail is experiential, and we want to hold classes, such as ‘how to make a wreath’ or ‘how to make a jewelry stand,’” Thorp says. “We want to create an experience, and we have a fun atmosphere where people want to come in and spend time here.”

Thorp also hopes to take advantage of one of the many perks of the historic Shaw neighborhood – its abundance of artisans – and partner with them and other artisans from across the city and country to offer DIY classes featuring anything from floral arrangements to calligraphy. “The Shaw neighborhood has a really unique environment,” she says. “There’s an old, urban era mixed with a fun, new feel. On each block, there’s a different little shop.”

And Thorp is proud to now call one of those little shops her own, with something new – or old – to find each time you visit. “Our boutique has an [HGTV] Fixer Upper, Joanna Gainesstyle feel, with a dash more color,” she says. “People walk in and say, ‘I could live here.’”

BEAUTY BUZZ

Beauty Gift 101

‌A

s the holidays quickly approach, so, too, does the time to start contemplating the perfect gift for each lady in your life. Women of all ages love receiving beauty gifts, so consider some recommendations for all the ladies of your acquaintance, no matter what their stage or status in life.

The beauty guru. We all know that one person who seemingly has all of the makeup in the world, but wouldn’t be disappointed to receive yet another beauty-related product. But what do you present the cosmetics cognoscente?

Consider a gift set of her favorite makeup or skin care brand. Such sets make a great option because they usually feature new or limited-edition products.

The beauty newbie. Whether you’re shopping for a girl just starting to wear makeup or for a woman who has tended to go minimal, a basic eyeshadow palette makes a great gift. Pick a palette with neutral shades so she can start

experimenting with products that anyone can rock. If eyeshadow doesn’t seem to be a good fit, gifting a nail polish or lip gloss set makes a great alternative.

The mom. Regardless of age, any and every mother deserves a present that can help her relax. Gifting a set that includes bubble bath, lotion and a candle makes a great option – or perhaps a certificate for a local salon for her to get primped and pampered in peace.

The wife. OK, gents – if you’re a husband at a loss for what to get your better half this year, choose a nice perfume. Perfume makes a special present because it’s personal to each person, so pick something that you like and that you suspect your wife will, too! You can always (discreetly) check what perfume she’s wearing now and ask a sales associate to help you pick something similar.

In any event, whoever you’re shopping for this year, rest assured you can gift them with a beauty product as personal as they are.

Modern Tribe specializes in eye-catching, small-batch styles for the smallest member of your tribe.

W

hen Megan Wappelhorst welcomed her son Finn into the world in 2015, she found, as many young parents do, that dressing an infant and toddler in a unique, out-of-the-box style aesthetic is not an easy task. Likewise confounded was Jenna Ostmann, Finn’s godparent and Wappelhorst’s best friend of 25 years, who found herself walking into kids’ clothing shops and being stopped in her tracks by a less-than-impressive selection.

Wappelhorst turned to Instagram, used by 700 million netizens each month, and began perusing on-trend kids’ clothing from various small-batch designers; there she began compiling a list of favorites that she’d purchase for Finn. Instagram marketing, a concept newly introduced within the seven years since the app’s creation, turned out to be highly effective for Wappelhorst, as more and more individuals of her generation have turned to the app to make purchases from niche specialty boutiques as opposed to well-known national chains. “I’d say most of the people I follow on Instagram are little-kid stores,” she says with a laugh.

Wappelhorst and Ostmann – whose friendship began as grade school pals in St. Charles and continued through college, where they were roommates at Missouri State University in Springfield – have “always wanted to try something” in addition to the traditional 9-to-5, according to Wappelhorst. With Modern Tribe, their carefully curated online boutique of trendy children’s clothing, the pair has added yet another layer to their tightknit friendship: business partners.

Modern Tribe launched in mid-October and debuted an eye-catching line of leggings, tees, cardigans, sleepers, blankets, shoes and accessories in bold black-and-white patterns with a few pops of color here and there, including a cozy buffalo plaid. “We like to stick with a monochrome, gender-neutral theme, on-trend more than the classics,” Wappelhorst says. “I would say a lot is hipsterish,” Ostmann adds. The featured designers, selected from an ever-growing population of children’s boutiques on Instagram, are mostly small-batch, up-and-coming operations based out of Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and the U.S. “The first order we placed in June, we got in [the last week of October],” Wappelhorst says. “[It] took so long because when we placed our order, they literally began sewing the pieces,” Ostmann says. This superspecialized process enabled the pair to work with the designers to produce designs for leggings, cardigans and dresses. The team came up with ideas and then worked with a graphic designer and local business to produce tees printed with hipster-cute graphics like “snacks on snacks on snacks” or the oft-uttered “ohhhh noooo.”

“We also have a couple cardigans and one dress exclusive to us,” Ostmann says,

describing Modern Tribe’s featured pieces from Texas-based Mount Zi, a handmade and organic kids’ clothing line.

One of the pair’s favorite lines is Softsie, an organic-cotton jersey-lined fleece featuring fabrics infused with aloe vera, jojoba oil and vitamin E, a process performed through a capsulation process in a controlled lab. The capsules open only when the fabric is touched or rubbed by human skin. “It’s insanely soft,” Wappelhorst says.

From the Softsie line, Modern Tribe carries blankets, joggers, sweatshirts and beanies. “She patented the fabric – I asked her, ‘Can you make this in my size, just one, so I could buy it?’” Ostmann jokes, referring to Softsie founder Natalie Feild.

For footwear, Modern Tribe carries Hello Zef, an Australian line of funky animal-print high-tops and Oxford-style crib shoes, with plans to expand the venture’s pint-size shoe offerings as Wappelhorst and Ostmann come across more designers that strike their fancy. Modern Tribe’s website also features Trendy Bubs printed leggings, minimalist printed sleepers from Peregrine Kidswear, knotted headbands and bows by Little Jaimes Gray and several more. All of the labels sold by Modern Tribe are the result of diligent Instagram browsing on Wappelhorst’s part.

Modern Tribe carries clothing from infant sizes to 5T, with plans to expand into bigger sizes and grow its clothing and shoe selections.

Clothing is available for purchase through the Modern Tribe website, with free domestic shipping for orders more than $30 and free international shipping for orders more than $150.

Like the labels the venture carries, Modern Tribe’s focus at the moment is on developing its e-commerce through Instagram exposure and other web traffic.

Wappelhorst and Ostmann are also planning on making appearances at local pop-up markets and are drumming up a plan for what Wappelhorst calls “Backyard Boutique” parties, where they bring the shop to a host home to give casual browsers an opportunity to get hands-on with the products.

For quality testing, Modern Tribe has a built-in market testing system in 2-yearold Finn. In fact, many of the brands sold by the shop are labels that have outfitted Finn since long before Modern Tribe was conceived. “The products I knew he had worn in the past that I liked, we wanted to stick with – I knew how they washed, and [a year later], they look like they just came from the store,” Wappelhorst says.

“They don’t fade. They don’t ball up. The brands I hadn’t experienced, we’d order for him to destroy – it’s good to have him!”

And directly, there’ll be another in-home product assessor for infant sizes, as Wappelhorst and her husband will soon add another baby boy to their tribe.

GAME ON!

Six Thoughts for DECEMBER

By Frank Cusumano

‌Here are half a dozen items on my mind for December:

1.

The St. Louis Cardinals are going to have one eventful offseason – or at least, they’d better.

They’re a third-place team now. The Cubs are not getting older, and the Brewers have a great deal of talent – the Cardinals have to counter. They can’t build from the draft if they never have a top 10 pick. Think about this: The last three World Series champions – the Royals, Cubs and Astros – all tanked. They were all so bad for so long that they got all of those early draft picks. They drafted well, traded well, then played well.

Now the Cardinals have to do something dramatic.

2.

The Blues, though, don’t have to do anything like that. They have become the model organization in town. General manager Doug Armstrong is the smartest guy in the room. He never really had to rebuild. He reloaded with his young players and won while he was doing it. He has drafted well and just made a bunch of great decisions. Mike Yeo is a magnificent hire. Who would have thought it would be a good idea to fire a Hall of Fame coach and give the job to a guy who was fired in Minnesota? Doug thought that.

3.

I watched the Ric Flair ESPN 30 for 30 special.

What a fascinating look at one of the most famous professional wrestlers of all time. I once asked him how he responds to someone who says wrestling is fake. He said, “I tell them to look at my $3 million home and see if that’s fake.”

he plays a Missouri Valley Conference school in the NCAA Tourney. But it’s insane that he would rather play Washburn than Mizzou. Did you see the basketball passion on display in Kansas City for the exhibition game? Hey, if Kansas loses to Mizzou one out of every four years, the world’s not going to end. Play the game!

4.

6.

I really love the character of Cuonzo Martin, Mizzou’s men’s basketball coach. True story.

Early this fall, there were reports that Webster Groves star Carte’Are Gordon was thinking about switching his commitment from SLU to Mizzou. Cuonzo called Billikens assistant coach Corey Tate and told him that he has not contacted and will not contact Carte’Are – that’s not the way he operates. Gordon signed with SLU. Congrats to the Billikens and to Mizzou for dealing with the situation in such a classy way.

5.

I do think Kansas basketball could show a little bit more class and actually schedule Mizzou for a game. I have the utmost respect for Kansas coach Bill Self. In fact, if I were an athletic director and could hire one coach, Self would be the guy. He’s the perfect combination of poise and polish. He wins big unless

We just returned from visiting my son’s future college. Dominic is going to play baseball at Indiana State next year. While we were down there, we learned that many of the players go in the summer to work out and take classes. My heart sank. I don’t think it’s a bad thing that kids are training and going to school. I just don’t like the idea of losing him a month early. I knew the day was coming. I just want it to be as late as possible. I don’t look forward to going up in his room and not having him there anymore.

The Schedule Balancing Act

T

oday’s pace makes finding parental balance tough.

You as a parent seemingly have either the child who plays video games all day while eating chips and drinking soda or the child who has so many practices, lessons, and group and planned activities that you (and grandparents, like me) can’t keep track.

What’s best? If children aren’t busy all the time, will they become addicted to their phones, tablets, computer screens and TVs? Can you possibly balance between too much and too little scheduling – too much and too little free time?

As Julia Child, reworking advice from American literary lion Ralph Waldo Emerson, once said of rich French food, “Everything in moderation.”

Scheduled activities like sports include known benefits like enrichment. In them, skills are refined, and children learn to work together, whether to score a goal or to earn a merit badge. Group activities, it bears noting, also boost self-esteem. Moreover, active children, like those who take part in sports, are less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, and often, from sports and similar activities, learn life balance and time management better.

But how much is enough and how much is too much? There’s really no “right,” by-the-book amount of scheduled activity. Some kids thrive on more, and others on less. However, every child – and, for that matter, every adult – should enjoy free time to think, to daydream, to be genuinely bored and to be refreshed. Most important, during such unscheduled

By Dr. Joseph Kahn

free time, children and their parents should make and take time to communicate, to be with each other to show their love. A child who knows he or she is loved generally will develop the personal power to overcome life’s inevitable challenges.

Finally, recognize that scheduled activities ought to be fun. Your child’s self-worth doesn’t depend on being the best athlete or earning the most badges. Also, for everyone’s sake, encourage your child to work hard and succeed, but don’t live vicariously through his or her endeavors.

Lift f ing the

By Connie Mitchell Portrait supplied

A St. Louis-based author and registered nurse has partnered with a nationally known psychiatrist to clear the way for those looking for guidance with ADHD.

W

hen Kristin Seymour was 19, she flunked out of college. It was the pinnacle of a mountain of academic failures and disciplinary problems. Teachers thought she was simply trying to get attention, and she’d been pegged with learning disabilities, despite her near genius-level IQ. When Seymour came home to St. Louis, her parents yet again sought medical help, not knowing where else to turn.

Seymour’s pediatrician consulted a neurologist and a psychiatrist, and the three quickly agreed: Seymour’s was a classic case of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD. Seymour recalls that she was limp with relief. “I was so happy to know this was not my fault,” she says. “I thank my parents for loving me enough to get doctors to evaluate me. Once I knew my ‘why,’ I could do the ‘how’ – how am I going to be a success?”

She subsequently figured it out. Once diagnosed, Seymour was appropriately medicated, and “the clarity that occurred within hours of this medication was fascinating,” she says. The diagnosis and treatment transformed Seymour into a straight-A student. She now has a string of letters behind her name that denote the multiple degrees and certifications she has earned and has more than 20 years of professional experience as a board-certified advancedpractice registered nurse, specializing in cardiac care.

Seymour also added authorship to her list of accomplishments with The Fog Lifted: A Clinician’s Victorious Journey With ADHD. She published the book in 2016 after being encouraged by physicians and friends to share her story.

Further expanding her work to help people with ADHD, Seymour recently partnered with Dr. Ned Hallowell, a nationally known psychiatrist, Kristin Seymour and Dr. Ned Hallowell speaker and author who is the lead authority in ADHD diagnosis and treatment. Hallowell recalls that Seymour came to Glen Arbor, Michigan, in order to meet him at his ADHD Family Summer Camp. “I was so impressed with her and with her book,” he says. “She’s a rare person – a skilled nurse practitioner who has also developed a private practice, fulfilling a tremendous need in the world of ADHD.” The practice Hallowell refers to developed when Seymour began assessing and coaching adults and children who have ADHD. “After the media began covering my book and it got attention, people started contacting me for help and advice,” Seymour says. In response, Seymour began providing patients with a 50-page resource binder that contains information and personalized notes to help families manage an ADHD diagnosis and treatment.

48

December 1, 2017 | LadueNews.com

In an endorsement printed within the binder, Hallowell says: “This tenacious, loving guide is sent from heaven. Seek her out, trust her, welcome her into your life, your child’s life, your family’s life, and give thanks you’ve found her. Don’t ever let her go.”

In addition to endorsing her work, Hallowell discusses cases with Seymour and collaborates with her on plans and recommendations for patients, if needed. “Kristin rigorously adheres to evidence-based, diagnostic requirements,” Hallowell says. “I’m proud to call her my associate.”

In many cases, Seymour writes multipage assessments that patients can take to their primary care physicians as they seek a definitive diagnosis and treatment. “The goal is for the respective patient’s primary care provider or pediatrician to maintain control of the overall plan for the patient, including prescription medication, if indicated,” she notes.

“More than 90 percent of the U.S. population lives [more] than 100 miles from a board-certified psychiatrist or neurologist, leaving the [primary care physician] and pediatrician to manage ADHD, the most common mental health condition in children,” Seymour says. “I’m providing a resource as an ADHD expert who has been there and knows what it feels like to live with ADHD – and what it takes to be victorious.”

And while families work with their doctors, Seymour also helps guide them in accessing further resources and accommodations at school or work.

“Working with Kristin helped me find myself again,” says Coleton Meseke, a student at Saint Louis University. “As an accounting major, it is incredibly important to be focused and accurate in my tasks and calculations, and I found myself making far more mistakes than ever.” He credits Seymour’s support and guidance with helping him to feel less frustrated and to increase his academic success.

Parents of younger children who have ADHD also find Seymour’s help valuable. “Because she has ‘been there’ and made some of the same sort of impulsive, thoughtless decisions as a kid, there is a unique understanding and bond that she can develop,” one young patient’s mother says. “She read through his past physician assessments, met with my son and learned what was working and wasn’t working. She suggested a new medication, which has been working quite well. She also has given me more insights into the way the ADHD mind works, something that was totally foreign to me.”

Seymour stresses that collaboration between patients, family, teachers, supervisors and physicians is key. “No one knows it all,” she says.

“But we’re all here for the child. I love the kids I work with, and I’m passionate about making sure they don’t suffer like I did.”

estport Social – a new Westport Plaza venue featuring drinks, grub and a full-fledged gaming lounge – opened in September with an extensive beverage program and

shareable plates.

The $5.5 million project comes from Lodging Hospitality Management together with Concentric Restaurants, which oversees Three Sixty, Boundary and Basso. Westport Social fills the 12,500-square-foot space previously occupied by Margarita Mama’s and Westport Ciné, with more than 200 seats throughout.

“It’s our own spin on classic games,” general manager Blaise Pastoret says. “There’s nothing like this in St. Louis.”

DECEMBER 1, 2017 | LadueNews.com

The interior features an industrial feel with vintage accents and finishes such as warm wood, exposed brick, metal and tin. Gaming options presented free on the main floor include darts, bocce ball, shuffleboard, foosball, pop-a-shot, table tennis and snookball (a cross between pool and soccer).

Sports fans should feel at home thanks to a variety of TV screens mounted throughout the lounge, broadcasting games seven days a week. Two secondstory karaoke rooms fit up to 20 people each and feature state-of-the-art sound systems. In the kitchen, executive chef Chris Leith dishes plenty of small plates to fuel playful appetites.

“We offer elevated bar food with our own spin, and

By Mabel Suen the menu is developed for sharing,” Pastoret says.

“Same with our beverage program. Any craft beer is available in a growler, and we’re also doing house cocktails in carafes.”

Top-selling snacks so far include smoked wings with Calabrian Buffalo sauce, as well as burnt-end nachos with wonton chips, avocado crema, cheese sauce, Kalamata olives, banana peppers and bean pico. Other appetizer highlights include pork rinds with smoked cheddar and scallions; fried lobster ravioli with garlic pomodoro and lemon aioli; and flash-fried edamame – any one of which would make a perfect way to precede a performance of Sister’s Christmas Catechism from Playhouse @ Westport.

Additional menu options include meat skewers, a kale salad, hand-tossed pizzas, tacos, sliders, entrées like baby back ribs and desserts such as funnel-cake straws served with coffee-vanilla anglaise.

Behind the bar, a three-pronged roster of drinks awaits. “We’re putting a lot of thought into what we have on the bar side,” Pastoret says. “I’m a level-two sommelier, and we have a certified cicerone in charge of our beer program. Kyle Mathis from Taste is our bar manager and curated the whole cocktail list.”

Guests can choose from a unique seasonal wine list and a rotating menu of 20 craft beers on tap.

The cocktail menu features twists on classics, such as the Daisy with Milagro Silver tequila, green-chili vodka, passion fruit, guava and lime. Refreshing slushes include the Frozen Industry with FernetBranca, Génépy des Alpes, ginger beer and lime.

‌Story: Sister, the scourge of parochial schools everywhere, has returned! She welcomes us – not just figuratively but literally, given the interactive nature of this production – to her classroom, where “J.M.J.” (think “Joseph, Mary and –”) in cursive is written strategically at the top of the nun/teacher’s chalkboard.

She also has a bulletin board with photos of Presidents Washington, Lincoln, Kennedy and Trump, as well as a picture of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Sister also has a table full of Christmas presents, which she says upfront she’ll be awarding to students who answer questions correctly.

You’d better know how to answer, though, as much as what. You must speak in complete sentences, for instance, and begin your answer with “Sister,” as in “Sister, my name is [full name only], and Santa Claus is based on St. Nicholas.”

Because it’s the holiday season, Sister’s assistant, Paul, leads the class in several rousing Christmas songs at the piano prior to Sister’s arrival. When she hears us audience members singing “Jingle Bells,” though, she advises us to change the lyrics to “Oh, what fun it is to ride with baby Jesus in the sleigh.”

If you’re not on your best behavior, you could be saddled with a demerit – or even put in the corner, facing the wall, if you’re especially insubordinate. Sister then tells us we’re going to re-enact the Nativity (the birth of Jesus) and in doing so solve the millennia-old mystery of “Whatever happened to the Magi’s gold?”

Sister questions why the Magi were called the three wise men when they announced the purpose of their arrival to Herod, arguably the cruelest king of all time.

And although she speculates Mary found quick use for frankincense and myrrh (“They’re in a barn, after all”), Sister questions what happened to the third gift, of gold. After all, Mary and Joseph could have rented an entire suite at the nearby inn with that gift.

So Sister borrows a page from the popular cable TV series Forensic Files to trace the steps of what might have happened on that first Christmas night. With the help of volunteer students costumed as Mary, Joseph, animals, shepherds, wise men and even the Little Drummer Boy, she searches for clues in this mystery.

Highlights: Sister’s Christmas Catechism is a rollicking sequel of sorts to Late Nite Catechism, the comedy that draws on indelible memories of Roman Catholics who were taught by nuns in their grade school (and, for some, high school) years. Mary F. Zentmyer is priceless in the role of Sister in the current hilarious production at the Playhouse @ Westport Plaza.

Other Info: Zentmyer’s bio in the program notes that she herself was raised Catholic and taught by the School Sisters of St. Francis. The costume designer has Sister dressed in what was worn by the

By Mark Bretz

Ursuline nuns of my own grade school experience, not the modern garb worn by many nuns today.

That’s appropriate, though, because while the setting may have an occasional modern touch, it feels more like 1962, thanks to Zentmyer’s uncannily precise depiction of Sister. Zentmyer also possesses quite an amazing memory because she remembered the names of virtually all of the people she called on from the audience.

Zentmyer makes the most of that memory in shaping comic images of various students – all in goodnatured fun. After all, what Catholic wasn’t humiliated in class once or twice in childhood? Zentmyer’s gift for improvisation is evident throughout the two-act performance, which features a fundamental, barebones script which is liberally expanded by Zentmyer’s knack for comedy on the fly.

Zentmyer is one of six actresses who portray Sister from the Chicago-based company Nuns4Fun Entertainment. Zentmyer herself has been performing as Sister since 1996, drawing on both her childhood recollections of her Catholic education and her own innate comic timing.

Although Sister’s Christmas Catechism draws heavily on Roman Catholic religious and educational experiences, its humor is universal and apt to appeal to adults of all stripes and variations. After all, it isn’t easy being a kid, as Sister’s second act ably demonstrates, with audience members costumed in ridiculous outfits to re-enact that first Christmas night.

With Thanksgiving over, the holiday season is in full throttle. Take time to treat yourself if you can to the mirth of Sister’s Christmas Catechism. There’s a candy cane in it for you, too.

A

n eerily Early Baroque aura infuses Cups & Saucer, recalling a (nonspecific) canvas by the Milanese giant Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.

With luck, that perhaps-daft observation won’t embarrass the creator of the work on display here, Edwardsville, Illinois, resident Susan Bostwick, who may have harbored absolutely no such intention in its creation or presentation.

Also, admittedly, Cups & Saucer – which dates from earlier this year and measures 5 by 5 by 5 inches – lacks both the spike of light customary of Caravaggio’s influential tenebrism and his figurative dynamism, but then, so, too does the Milanese’s Basket of Fruit, a jubilant little oil palimpsest he painted circa 1599.

Still, Cups & Saucer’s “earthenware clay, layered with slips, stains and glaze through multiple firings,” to quote Bostwick, shares Caravaggio’s restrained yet somehow otherworldly palette, as with the blue-green of the interior of the left-hand cup, its aqua exterior, the chestnut and predominantly cream color of the central saucer and the gold-banded beige of the cup on the right.

Beyond any other Early Baroque fancies, Bostwick relates that she “has enjoyed a career in the arts as a maker, educator and advocate,” continuing that her passion for them began during her student days in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood, at Rosati-Kain High School, “where the arts were key to the curriculum.”

Following her graduation both from Rosati-Kain and

I use earthenware clay to create still lifes that evoke a sense of nostalgia and suggest a backstory.

– SUSAN BOSTWICK from Webster University in Webster Groves, Bostwick belonged to the Firehouse Pottery cooperative in St. Louis’ Soulard neighborhood before relocating to Edwardsville; there, at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in ceramics.

Subsequently, Bostwick relates, she’s taught at St. Louis’ Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design, Ladue’s esteemed John Burroughs School and her Illinois alma mater, as well as contributing to numerous community arts projects and exhibiting her work nationally.

A number of publications, she adds, have included certain of those works, among them 2000’s Teapots Transformed: Exploration of an Object by Leslie Ferrin from F+W Media’s North Light Books imprint.

Currently, Bostwick makes her works available through galleries, art fairs and “alternative” settings, and her home studio “has become a space for collaboration, workshops and continued investigation.”

“I’m not much of a consumer, and I’m somewhat

uncomfortable about populating the world with more stuff,” Bostwick, a bit abashedly, confesses.

“Nevertheless, I’m a persistent maker and storyteller.

“I use earthenware clay to create still lifes that evoke a sense of nostalgia and suggest a backstory. Although clearly inspired by the garden’s critters and crops, my relationship with objects and family winds its way into my work. The cast includes my childhood tea set, shards found in the creek behind my house and every bit of everything sold or saved from my parents’ lives.

“Working with clay provides endless possibilities, challenges and satisfaction.”

Star tar Light, Light g tar Star

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photos supplied

The earth has taken a heavenly turn lately thanks to these lighting displays for the holidays.

E

ach year, decade after decade, terra firma and the firmament have embraced joyfully throughout the metro area in exquisite holiday lighting – and 2017 constitutes no exception, with manifold displays of the confluence of stellar and earthly already delighting visitors.

Among such displays, one of the area’s most reliable locales for getting lit remains equally reliable, at the holidays, for seeing the light: Anheuser-Busch’s downtown St. Louis brewery.

Although some St. Louisans still feel less than star-struck by Stella Artois, even the most hardhearted anti-Belgians likely continue to revere the display at the magisterial landmark, which will blaze till Dec. 30.

Saint Louis Zoo

The Pestalozzi Street monolith is offering complimentary all-ages tours from 5 to 10 p.m.

Thursday through Sunday, except on Christmas Eve and Christmas proper. Also, a wristband for a quintet of 5-ounce zymurgic treats will go to each tour guest of legal drinking age.

Beyond the tours, the brewery’s offering an ice rink, a s’mores station, a buffet in the Biergarten, children’s games on its patio, fire pit fun and three special packages.

Some of those extra offerings carry a price tag, it bears noting; interested parties should call 314-577-2626.

More than half a million lights brighten another local landmark: the Saint Louis Zoo, near the city’s western edge, in famed Forest Park.

Its display also includes illuminated animal fixtures – big surprise, in context – and other attractions and technically bears the title U.S. Bank Wild Lights, reportedly named one of the nation’s top three zoo light displays by USA Today.

Like the brewery’s display, the zoo’s shines till Dec. 30, albeit from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. every day of the week. Also, unlike the brewery’s, this display involves a ticket price that varies in diverse ways. Here, interested parties should call 314-781-0900.

A third local landmark, the Missouri Botanical Garden, more or less at the center of the municipality of St. Louis, is tempting sidereal enthusiasts with an outdoor walk exceeding a mile and offering them the opportunity to go totally Copernican in its glorious Garden Glow.

That annual event runs daily from 5 to 10 p.m. through New Year’s Day, and the garden’s website helpfully suggests, “Mondays and Tuesdays are ideal for those hoping to avoid larger crowds.”

Ticket prices vary, by the way; interested parties should call 314-678-7442.

Saint Louis Zoo The garden’s website also promotes the comforts and cuisine of its own Sassafras Café and Café Flora to visitors to the Garden Glow, which it similarly positions as an ideal romantic location for matrimonial proposals. The garden likewise offers special proposal packages for $175 to $250.

No exploration of local seasonal displays of luminosity could qualify as complete, of course, without a mention of Winter Wonderland in Ladue’s own Tilles Park.

That stellar celebration – the website for which reads, “Celebrating 32 Years of Holiday Memory Making” – will twinkle till Dec. 30 (except on Christmas Eve).

Vehicular traffic and ticketed, advance-reservation carriage rides through Winter Wonderland run Sunday through Friday from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, it bears noting, remains reserved solely for carriage rides.

The price of admission, paid at the exit, varies according to the type of vehicle involved – whether a family auto, a limo, a commercial transport van or a tour bus – and the park accepts no credit or debit cards.

Otherwise, holiday light-lovers willing to travel just a trifle have three splendid options.

The first of those options, the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, Illinois, has been displaying holiday lighting since 1970.

Its display this year runs through Dec. 31 – although the shrine understandably closes Christmas Eve and Christmas proper – from 5 to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

Although admission to the shrine’s display costs nothing, its website gently suggests, “Donations are accepted to help us continue bringing this family tradition to our community each year.”

The website also notes, “Tuesday is a fabulous night to visit the Way of Lights to avoid large crowds and enjoy discounts on activities such as camel rides!” Self-evidently, certain attractions, like the camel rides, aren’t free.

Candlelight Stroll of Faust Historic Village, the second of the “travel a trifle” options, takes place in Chesterfield’s Faust Park on Friday, Dec. 8, from 6 to 9 p.m. and the next day from 5 to 9 p.m.

“Explore the customs of holidays of the past on this self-guided stroll through the festively adorned rooms with historically dressed docents in attendance,” urges the display’s website.

Admission prices vary, payable in cash at the gate, although the website notes that potential visitors can indeed use credit cards in advance by calling 314-615-8328 or visiting the St. Louis County Parks & Recreation website.

The third and final of the “travel a trifle” options, Holiday in the Park at Six Flags St. Louis, takes radiant revelers to Eureka. That event runs through New Year’s Day. Beyond its customary rides, edibles and family entertainment, Six Flags’ website notes it “will be transformed into a winter wonderland with thousands of colorful lights, carolers performing classic yuletide favorites, personalized meet-and-greets with Santa and his helpers, and everyone’s National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows favorite Looney Tunes characters.”

To further tempt potential visitors, the website cites “hot chocolate, cider, custom fudge, holiday-inspired funnel cake flavors and many other traditional favorites.”

Dates, times and admission prices vary; potential visitors should contact Six Flags.

Ironically, just a year before the local Six Flags’ 1971 opening, musical legend Joni Mitchell composed a song about revisiting paradise that the rock supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young then transformed into an anthem, a song titled “Woodstock.”

“We are stardust,” the chorus to that anthem assures listeners. “We are golden.”

Golden, yes – as well as argent and scarlet and cobalt and a host of other heavenly hues, now twinkling merrily throughout the metro area.

cross the globe, the holiday season takes on many expressions of joy. Discover the warmth of the season in the form of hearty Italian cooking, made fresh right here in St. Louis at Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria.

“We like to do a lot of decadent, over-the-top Italian recipes for the holidays,” owner and chef Katie Collier says. “We have some really incredible specials, like the black truffle risotto or the blood orange and scallop salad. Truffles and blood oranges are both in season. We also have sweet potato pansotti, with a traditional walnut sauce.

We choose recipes from Italy and add a modern Katie’s interpretation to them.”

When considering a clever idea for a present, remember the gift of a great meal always hits the spot. At Katie’s, that gift might even come with a bonus. “Every time you purchase a gift card of $50 or more, you get a pound of fresh pasta in any shape or color,” Collier notes. “We offer a variety of 10 in-house pastas, which you can give as a gift or keep for yourself.”

The season of giving doesn’t stop there, though.

The restaurant’s owners bring the focus back to the community through a day of philanthropy. “On the second Tuesday of the month at our Town and Country location, and on the fourth Tuesday of the month at Rock Hill, we host Giveback Tuesday, with proceeds going to local charities,” Collier comments.

The 2017 holiday season at Katie’s promises plenty of ways to celebrate, including the launch of a new holiday market. “We’re opening the KPPO Holiday Pizaar from 5 to 9 p.m. on the first four Saturdays in December, with fire pits, Christmas lights and hot chocolate,” Collier shares. “While waiting for your table, you can shop incredible local vendors. We’ll have lots of hand-crafted jewelry and art, Vero meal delivery kits and brews from Kaldi’s coffee – all kinds of cool stuff.”

For Collier, this is the season to spread good cheer – a message she takes to heart. “I really love the holidays,” she says. “Being with my mom and finding or making really cool gifts for people. We go to Pea Ridge and do the tree hunt.

We host a huge family brunch on Christmas day and hang out with drinks by the fire.

Cooking is my favorite thing. I love the energy you find at the restaurants, when people come in with gifts and wearing holiday sweaters. It’s great to see everyone together, having fun.” Take part in the celebrations at Katie’s this year and truly savor the season.
