from the editor's desk With the vitriol of this election, it’s a good thing political analyst Mark Shields focused on anecedotes rather than issues when he spoke here two weeks ago. Shields was in Clayton to address the Women’s Democratic Forum of Greater St. Louis, and who better to regale us with stories from the past than a D.C. journalist who has lived through 12 presidential elections?

He started by sharing the downside, as he sees it, of a win in either case. “If it’s Hillary, can you imagine Bill Clinton in the White House all day with nothing to do? If it’s Donald, he might get bored after a week and leave us for a much younger country.”

Shields also poked fun at past nominees who were much less colorful than Donald Trump. “Al Gore was so exciting that his Secret Service name was ‘Al Gore.’” But Shields also pointed out that many past officials were plenty colorful. “Ronald Reagan didn’t always get his information right,” Shields recalls. “We in the media called that his ‘factoids.’ Like when he said trees cause more pollution than automobiles.” Then Shields recounted how President Reagan was able to laugh at himself when, during a visit to Claremont College, a protest sign stuck to a tree read: Cut me down before I kill again.

It’s hard to imagine the election next week having such lighthearted moments, but Shields tried to reassure us by saying politics, at its core, is all about the peaceable resolution of differences. He left us with these words from John McCain’s concession speech of 2012: An hour ago Barack Obama was my opponent; now he’s my president. “I hope we’ll have similar acts of grace in this election,” Shields concluded.

COVER STORY

[STRONG ROOTS ROSSMAN SCHOOL by alexa beattie

FIFTH-GRADERS DISSECT A SQUID.

AT ROSSMAN SCHOOL—AS IN LIFE GENERALLY—it’s about knowing who you are,

where you have been and where you are going. It’s about past and future, tradition and innovation. It’s about having roots strong enough to steady you as you reach for the stars.

This year, the school celebrates its centennial, and, as is natural at such a milestone, it’s taking stock of itself. “We are an institution that cherishes its traditions,” says lower school director Elizabeth Zurlinden. “And our goal, at this stage in our life, is to balance the richness of our past with our vision for the future.” Indeed, at Rossman the two coexist. Tradition is everywhere—woven into routines like lunchtime prayer, the daily Pledge of Allegiance, and the ruby capes the children have worn at the holiday performance for decades. But so is innovation, especially in a teaching style that makes learning relevant to the real world and is at the core of the school’s educational philosophy.

Academically, it has always been strong, Zurlinden says. Founded by two veteran teachers, Rossman opened its doors on Delmar Boulevard in 1917. Today, the STEM program provides rigorous instruction in science, technology, engineering and math, and as much as possible, does so in interdisciplinary ways. This, Zurlinden explains, encourages students not only to see the relevance of material, but the connection between different subjects—both in terms of content and underlying academic skills.

As an example of interdisciplinary STEM teaching, Zurlinden cites a recent fifth-grade science project that addressed water quality in the school’s creek bed and compared it to that of other bodies of water around the world. The project combined science (testing the water), technology and math (analyzing data) and engineering (designing a water filter). “What makes interdisciplinary education so effective is that it is meaningful,” Zurlinden says. “Learning has to be meaningful, and giving children the opportunity to figure out if they can be part of a solution is what makes it stick. Who knows, maybe a project like this one becomes the spark that lights the way to a career in environmental engineering.” This approach also enriches teachers’ lives. “As a faculty, we are always learning and trying to refine, always adapting to new practices, seeing things through different lenses,” Zurlinden explains.

Rossman also has a tradition of core values that are palpable everywhere, she adds: honesty, kindness, respect and responsibility underpin every lesson the children learn. “We encourage personal leadership in our children. What is our responsibility to an issue? How can I serve? How can I advocate for a better solution?”

Zurlinden says Rossman students recognize that the education they receive is a privilege. “As such, they commit to making a difference with the gifts they are given here, and we couldn’t be more proud of that,” she says.

[ short & simple ] SMOKY TURKEY SALAD

COLD TURKEY

recipe from nourish

The earliest recorded uses of the phrase ‘cold turkey’ had nothing to do with the goosebumps that might remind you of a plucked turkey. Rather, the term is related to ‘talk turkey,’ which had come—in the early 20th century—to mean speaking plainly and directly. The ensuing variant was ‘talk cold turkey,’ which meant to lay out hard facts or quickly get down to business. That is akin to what one does when quitting something ‘cold turkey.’

1.5 lb. cooked turkey breast, diced 3.5 oz. smoked Gouda cheese, diced 2 oz. celery, diced 2 oz. roasted red pepper, diced (from a jar is fine) 1/2 oz. green onion, diced 1/2 t. fresh parsley, chopped 1 T. fresh lemon juice 3/4 t. celery salt 1/2 t. granulated garlic 1/2 t. pepper 3/4 c. mayo » Combine all of the above, and let flavors meld in fridge for at least an hour before serving. It’s a great way to use leftover turkey after Thanksgiving!

With the election just a week away, investors may be nervous about what to expect if their candidate doesn’t win. The good news is, it might not matter either way; doomsday is not around the corner, at least not when it comes to your portolio.

Detalus, a wealth management firm, has provided the following information about presidential elections and portfolios based on data from the past.

DIVIDED VS. UNIFIED GOVERNMENT

A divided government (one in which the president is of one party and Congress is dominated by the other) actually has produced better annualized stock market (DJIA) returns than those recorded when the government was unified. Based on data from 1901 to 2014, the figure during a divided government was 7 percent return; during a unified government, it was 4.6 percent.

ASSISTED LIVING MEMORY SUPPORT

2014 U.S. Government

DIVIDED

7.0%

UNIFIED 4.6% 1901

FAVORABILITY RATINGS

Over the past 55 years, the markets have performed best when a president’s approval rating was between 35 and 50 percent. Since the Kennedy administration, the sitting president has been viewed unfavorably by more than half the country 45 percent of the time!

Congress’ approval rating has been worse.

POLITICAL PARTY & STOCK PRICES

Is it true that the market does best when a Republican is in the White House? No. Since 1945, the stock market (S&P 500) has produced average annualized returns of 15.1 percent when Democrats controlled the White House, 10 percent when Republicans did. These stats notwithstanding, some of the best annualized market performance occured in the 1980s, when the Republicans controlled the White House.

AVERAGE ANNUALIZED RETURNS

10.0% REPUBLICAN

15.1% DEMOCRATIC

TRANSLATION, PLEASE!

The prevailing theory is, Stay Calm and Carry On. The factors that impact the economy are, in general, much bigger than which political party prevails. And a well-diversified portfolio is still considered a wise financial path.

[ TALKOF THETOWNS ] by bill beggs jr.

KP Development has tossed the first shovelfuls of dirt for the first building to occupy Fenton Logistics Park, just west of the I-44/I-270 interchange and once site of the sprawling Chrysler plant. Just how big was it? Well, more than 8 million square feet of asphalt has to be removed, and that’s just the former parking lots … but not for this $10 million spec building alone, of course.

This first project, planned for completion next summer, will be 160,000 square feet, intended for use as a

logistics and warehouse space; 480,000 square feet of office/warehouse and flex space; 182,500 square feet of retail, restaurant and hotel space; and 105 acres of land owned by the BNSF Railway for anticipated additional railroad services. The overall development has the potential to pump an estimated $135 million in wages to the region. Meanwhile, actual redevelopment of the site is expected to create 500 to 750 construction jobs over the next several years.

FENTON

warehouse with offices. It’s at the southeast corner of the site, ideal for optimal gawking from the interstate by would-be industrialists—along with potential hoteliers and restaurateurs to serve the estimated 2,500 to 3,000 permanent workers that will be based there eventually.

The site also abuts existing rail access, which gets us to that catch-all word, ‘logistics,’ a concept physicists and engineers may fully understand but we folks who operate from the opposite side of the brain scratch our heads over. Logistics are what make a business go, from sourcing raw materials for your widgets to making them, storing them and distributing them to select widget outlets. And all with the utmost efficiency. Aha! That’s why a Chrysler assembly plant was based here, in a central U.S. location that received materials from multiple points A for eventual distribution to numerous points B. Anyhow, as the local market continues to gain traction, Fenton Logistics Park aims to provide new and expanding companies the opportunity to establish roots for the next several decades. As it is built out and additional tenants are lined up, the park is projected to feature nearly 1.2 million square feet of manufacturing,

Darth Vader, his storm troopers and other baddies from The Empire have invaded the Headquarters branch of St. Louis County Library in Ladue, and it’s up to kids, teens and their families to flush them out. Wouldn’t want the dark side of The Force to take over the universe, starting right there across Lindbergh Boulevard from Plaza Frontenac, would you?

That would be bad—so bad that even the wise Yoda might need help figuring it out. Representing the brighter side of The Force, fortunately, are Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia and other impossibly good guys (and a gal) from the four-decades-and-counting juggernaut that is Star Wars. They’re all part of an ongoing scavenger hunt

at the library that ends Oct. 31. The event is designed for folks age 8 to 18; the series characters, and clues on where to find them, are hidden throughout the children’s and teen areas of the library. Once a hunter has discovered all the clues, he or she may pick out a Star Wars pin of their choice at the children’s desk. And then, why not hang out for awhile? There’s like, reading and other fun stuff to do. And it’s free. Plus, you might get a great last-minute costume idea for Halloween.

Looks like you can get a storm trooper outfit online for less than $1,600! (FYI, that’s, um, a Supreme Edition.

Versions at Party City or Target are much less, like between $25 and $50, and some places even have them for girls, too.)

Not long after a friend of mine with grown children remarried, the couple adopted a baby girl here in St. Louis.

The infant, they were shocked to find, is addicted to heroin. According to one study, in 2012, nearly 22,000 newborns in the United States were treated for opioid withdrawal. And as abuse remains at epidemic proportions for young people and adults, the number of babies born dependent on these drugs has increased dramatically. But SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Richmond Heights has geared up to be part of the cure. The ribbon was cut last month on the hospital’s WISH Center (Women and Infant Substance Help), which provides comprehensive, highrisk maternity care for women dependent on heroin and other opioid drugs like the prescription painkiller oxycontin. Established in 2014, it is the only center of its kind in the region. WISH started out as a half-day clinic operating within the SLUCare department of maternal and fetal medicine, but quickly became backlogged. A dedicated, full-time practice was needed to keep up with demand from across the bistate area. Unfortunately, that demand shows no signs of flagging. Meanwhile, my friend and his wife are playing the hand they were dealt, praying their little one recovers—and hoping her birth mother gets well, too.

Sundance, step aside—SLIFF has got it going on all over town, starting tomorrow (Thursday, Nov. 3). The St. Louis International Film Festival is one way to stay out of the mega-multiplex to see some cinematic art that A.) didn’t cost $50 million to produce, B.) features some artists from right here in the StL, and C.) is priced such that you won’t feel like you’re breaking the bank by adding popcorn and a soda to your ticket price while sneaking in a box of Milk Duds from an unnamed outside source. This, the 25th anniversary of SLIFF, runs through Sunday, Nov. 13, and suffice it to say you’ll have more options during

The food may not be nutritionally balanced for our best friends at the second Dog Park Chili Cook Off, but for at least three hours at the University City Dog Park this Saturday (Nov. 5), it’s not all about them. It’s about their people, folks.

Chili chefs, that is, and we all know how competitive they can be! There will be prizes for first, second and third place. Come one, come all—two-legged homo sapiens and four-legged friends—from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for this sloppy bark before dark at the dog park, on the Vernon Avenue side of Heman Park. There will be plenty of fresh water for the dogs, and separate play areas for larger and smaller varieties. And there will be beer. That’s about as good for our dogs as macadamia nuts, of course, so keep the mutts away from the suds generously supplied by Kräftig. Entry is not free: there’s one fee for U. City residents and another for nonresidents. All must be rabies-tagged critters, natch.

PATTY d e h s a e unl

BY PATTY HANNUM

DOESN’T EVERYONE HAVE A FRIEND they want

to spend more time with? That’s how I feel about Colleen. So when she asked if I would participate in a walk for Alzheimer’s and go to a barbecue afterward, I immediately agreed. And it wasn’t just for the food, or even the chance to be with Colleen. Alzheimer’s disease, for some inexplicable reason, is one of the few ailments I haven’t worried about getting.

I figured the walk would be like every other one I’d been to, but instead, it started inside Scottrade Center with remarks from the Alzheimer’s Association and sponsoring organizations. I’m not complaining. I am always willing to listen to people’s comments because a lifetime ago, people had to listen to mine; it’s payback. Anyhow, as we were making our way to our seats, I noticed some people had these large plastic spinning flowers in varying colors.

It was during the comments that I learned what the flowers meant: each represented the different impact of Alzheimer’s. One color was for a caretaker, one for a person with the disease and one for a family who had lost a loved one to the disease. I was happy to be flower-free. We walked, we ate, I ran into some old work colleagues, and that should have been the end of the story. But it wasn’t. You see, the walk was co-sponsored by Edward Jones, the investment firm from which I retired. That may surprise you, as I’ve always been a little vague about my past career.

Mostly because I don’t want the crazy things I say held against an innocent company.

I was in the marketing division, and for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why they decided to become the national sponsor for a disease that, how can I say this tactfully, doesn’t have a happy ending. I sat down with John Beuerlein and Joan Fernandez, partners at the firm, and asked them. Why would Jones spend millions of dollars increasing awareness and funding research (at Washington University) to find a cure? They said it was driven by the desire to make a difference. To pick a cause that is often overlooked and where the firm’s contribution would be meaningful. No other motive, it was just the right thing to do. And then John reminded me of Ted Jones, the founder’s son, who spent much of his life building the Katy Trail, the hiking and biking trail along the Missouri River. He just wanted to do something for conservation and the people of Missouri—no strings attached. Huh. I must admit if I were still at Jones, I would have been one of the naysayers, thinking the sponsorship was a bad idea. I can actually picture myself in a conference room, arguing that we should at least pick a ‘happy’ cause to support. Yes, I was ‘that’ person.

Fortunately, John and Joan and the current Edward Jones employees looked beyond what was happy to what was necessary. So you see, there is a happy ending in there somewhere.

A glimpse at what’s going on around St. Louis and beyond.

by dorothy weiner

Clayton High School alum MICHAEL ROHRBAUGH ('00) will enjoy a homecoming of sorts when his short film, American Male, appears in the St. Louis Film Festival at 2 p.m. Nov. 6 at the Tivoli. The talented writer and producer has worked for NBC Universal, Bravo, Oprah and Z Living. This is his fourth short, and he is currently developing a full-length feature—and making St. Louis proud!

Chalk up another great book to the credit of hometowners DAN AND CONNIE BURKHARDT. The Missouriphiles have penned Growing Up with the River, a book chronicling the history and beauty of the Missouri River Valley. Illustrations are by Missouri artist Bryan Haynes, and all proceeds from book sales go to the conservation nonprofits Katy Land Trust and Magnificent Missouri.

One of the recipes in a new Joan Nathan cookbook about Jewish heritage cooking was taken from Helen Starkman Fischer, mother of T&S editor Dorothy Weiner. Sarah Weiner (Clayton H.S. '98) worked with Nathan to trace the origins of the recipe, Blueberry Buns, to Bodzentyn, Poland. The book, King Solomon’s Table, publishes April 4, 2017.

A big congratulations to DR. GEORGE MACONES, head of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Washington University, for being among the 79 new members inducted into the National Academy of Medicine last month.

Members are chosen based on their contributions to advancing public health. Macones, a specialist in maternal-fetal medicine, is renowned for his research on the safety of vaginal birth after Caesarean and directs the March of Dimes Prematurity Research Center at W.U.

BY MEGAN ORTIZ

For anyone who worries kids spend too much time watching TV, playing video games or staring at their smartphones, St. Louis streets Nov. 12 will paint a different picture. Two local running groups geared toward raising confidence and self-esteem will showcase their talents in 5Ks that day.

Girls on the Run, which targets girls in third to eighth grade, will transform downtown into a race site and dance party for its 5K race, which has become the largest timed 5K in Missouri and the 10th largest in the U.S. Let Me Run, created for boys in fourth through eighth grades, is participating in the Race For Home 5K in Tower Grove Park.

While the two programs are not connected, their missions are similar. “Our goal is to help boys be accepting of themselves and others, set goals and lead a healthy lifestyle,” says Let Me Run regional director Monica Wohlberg. “Our program uses running as a platform to introduce and counteract negative pressures boys face and help them build healthy relationships.”

Let Me Run is relatively new compared to the well-established Girls on the Run. In three years, Let Me Run has had 70 teams and worked with 668 boys in the St. Louis area—numbers it expects to keep climbing as more focus is put on expanding the program.

St. Louis has become a model branch for the Girls on the Run program, boasting 40,000 participants in the past 14 years. “It’s truly become a Girl on the Run movement,” says Courtney Berg, executive director of Girls on the Run St. Louis. “It’s a local movement of embracing healthy, confident girls and women.”

Just as the Read, Right, Run Marathon sponsored by Go! St. Louis has encouraged kindergarteners through fifth-graders to get active in school and in their communities since 2001, Let Me Run and Girls on the Run seek to reach beyond fitness.

As Berg watches the news these days, she says she is still concerned with the images and stereotypes thrust on girls. “Unfortunately our girls are continuing to receive messages that put them in the ‘girl box,’” Berg says. “They internalize that and think they have to look and act a certain way. It stunts their growth and their emotional self-esteem. It’s not safe for them or our communities, and it will not help create the strong leaders we need. We have received affirmation that there remains a major need for this program.”

As kids dive into the running programs, bonds are being created that even inspire the adults leading them.

Ken Poling, a fourth-grade teacher at Daniel Boone Elementary, has never liked running, but he volunteered to help coach the Let Me Run program at his school because of the program’s ideals.

Watching the boys around him determined and passionate to improve, Poling joined in on the workouts and finished his first 5K with the kids cheering him on last spring. “As long as our students push themselves, I’m willing to do the same,” Poling says. “I was a 5XL, and the shirt Let Me Run sent at the beginning of the season was a tight 3XL. I tried many times to wear it and be part of the team at practices throughout the spring, but it was not going to fit. I finally quit trying. On race day, I just

While the fall seasons for Let Me Run and Girls on the Run conclude with the upcoming 5Ks, both programs are preparing to open their coaching searches for the spring and hope to add new teams to their lists. The seasons last about 10 weeks and involve trained coaches and weekly practices.

Volunteers are always needed.

As Girls on the Run prepares to celebrate its 15th year in 2017, Berg says they are seeing alums return to coach teams of their own—further proof the program is helping develop tomorrow’s leaders.

“We know setting a goal and reaching it is critical for girls at this age,” Berg says. “This is important work.

Yes, it is fun and joyful, but it truly matters.”

Our goal is to help boys be accepting of themselves and others, set goals and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Students raised more than $30,000 in sponsorships during the third annual KDS Biathlon event. Students biked and ran to raise awareness for the importance of physical fitness while also raising money for the school’s technology program. The event included an alumni fun run, music, awards and food trucks.

After learning that one in three mothers struggle to provide diapers for their children, students in the Family and Consumer Science classes at the Rockwood high schools participated in a diaper drive for the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank. Almost 10,000 diapers were collected a week before the drive ended, including more than 1,000 collected by Eureka senior Jensen Schoch, who rallied help from her golf teammates and put out requests on social media.

SARAH COWHEY & MATTHEW OEHLERKING

8 | 26 | 16

by megan ortiz | photos by sarah corbett photography WHEN SARAH COWHEY WENT OUT TO DINNER at Charlie Gitto’s with her mom and aunt last December,

she didn’t think twice when the waiter placed an extra menu on the table. She just figured he had miscounted.

She never suspected Matt Oehlerking had orchestrated the entire evening from a distance. “Matt was supposed to be in Jefferson City at a work holiday party,” Cowhey says. “When I saw him walk into the restaurant, I tried to figure out what was happening. Then he got down on one knee.”

Cowhey was thrilled, and the wedding arrangements began. The two, who met at a 2011 World Series party in Illinois, consulted on all the plans, but Cowhey took the lead since Oehlerking still resides in Columbia, Missouri. Long distance never proved a challenge for the two, however. Even after the wedding, they are navigating the issue as Oehlerking works to transfer to his office’s St. Louis branch. “It doesn’t feel too much different to be married right now, but when Matt moves here, it will really hit home that things have changed,” Cowhey says.

The two worked together during their engagement to create handmade items to personalize the wedding decorations. And Cowhey chose her favorite colors—blue and silver—to accent the special event. “Matt was happy to help, but he really wanted me to have the wedding I wanted,” Cowhey says. “He let me do a lot of the planning, then he helped bring my ideas to life.”

She wanted something more unique than a hotel reception hall, which explains why she fell in love with Patty Long’s 9th Street Abbey the first time she visited. When she found Saint John Nepomuk Chapel just a few blocks away, everything fell into place. Of the wedding, she says, “Everything happened so fast that day. I just loved bringing everybody together. That was the best part.”

THE FUR BOUTIQUE is ready to open at its new location, 9820

Clayton Road, on Oct. 27. After outgrowing its previous space, the new setup will include furniture, home decor and gifts from D3Designs, in addition to the latest fur fashions.

BRUNO DAVID GALLERY will open Nov. 10 at a new, larger location,

7513 Forsyth Blvd. The Clayton gallery has been in the area since 2005. Its new exhibition season will include six exhibitions: Chris Kahler (Metaphemeral), Kahlil Irving (Undocumented), Sarah Harford (Swing), Ann Wimsatt (Not a Passive Journey), Michael Jantzen (Deconstructing My Chairs) and Van McElwee (Travel Dream).

Quality counts.

That’s the philosophy behind men’s luxury fashion brand Peter Millar.

The company prides itself on top-quality materials and classic looks. On Nov. 17, St. Louisans will have greater local access to the brand when Mister Guy Men’s boutique becomes only the second store in the country to house two Peter Millar boutiques. We spoke with Peter Millar president Scott Ruerup about the philosophy behind the brand.

Scott Ruerup

THE PERFECT FIT T&S | How long have you been with the company?

SCOTT RUERUP | Four years. I’ve been in the fashion industry since 1995, always in men’s fashion.

T&S | The brand is all about sophistication.

How does that translate to what’s offered?

SR | We strive to offer a cohesive, well thought-out collection so that a man can go into his closet and wear everything Peter Millar, from his shoes, socks and belt to his sweater and outerwear. We want every single item to be great, and our design team is extensive and does an amazing job with this. We stay classic and can reach a wide audience this way. A lot of times people think, Only men in places like New York can wear that. But even in the smallest towns in America, people want to dress well.

T&S | How important is it for men to be stylish and comfortable?

SR | Being comfortable is very important, and fit is a huge part of that.

We don’t chase trends. But we’re always relevant. Around the world, the trend is to go ‘trim,’ but we shy away from that.

T&S | Are there any trends in men’s fashion that are changing or new?

SR | I think there is a shift toward cleaner looks and more elegant sportswear. Tailored suits are diminishing a little and men understand how to wear sportswear now. They have a sensibility on how to put it all together, plus we guide them on how to do that in our stores.

For example, wearing a cashmere sweater underneath a beautiful,

soft, elegant coat. Even a polished collegiate look is popular now. Young college guys don’t want to dress in just a rugged T-shirt, so we offer nice woven shirts with school logos.

And women love the brand for their husbands and boyfriends because of the beautiful colors.

T&S | Any way men can spice up their look for the holidays?

SR | Men should really embrace beautiful outerwear. A lot of gentlemen will wear the same jacket or coat throughout fall, and they should invest in various pieces, including nice vests.

T&S | Tell me about Mister Guy’s Collection boutique.

SR | Mister Guy will be one of only two retailers in the country that has two Peter Millar boutiques (Crown and Collection). It’s exciting to see, and it turned out beautifully. The Collection boutique opening this month is the only one in the Midwest and features more of a European flair; the colors are more tonal and not as vibrant. And everything in the Collection is made in Europe.

Mister Guy Men’s hosts a grand opening celebration for the Peter Millar Collection boutique from 3 to 7 p.m. Nov. 17 at the store.

Scott Ruerup and others from Peter Millar will be in attendance.

COVER STORY

GOOD [DOING MUELLER PROST by alexa beattie

DOUG MUELLER AND MICHAEL PROST

THANKS TO DOUG MUELLER, A LITTLE TOWN IN INDIA NOW HAS A SCHOOL.

Thanks to him—and his clients, family and friends—a dirt-poor community is richer.

Last year, after visiting the small coastal town of Adimalathura, Mueller, co-founder of Mueller Prost CPAs + Business Advisors, launched a charity with wife Teresa called ‘God’s Precious Little Souls in India.’ To date, it has raised $40,000 and facilitated the construction of an eight-room school for 135 children. “That kind of experience changes you,” Mueller says. “We came home to St. Louis and realized how much we had.”

Mueller founded his accounting firm with managing partner Michael Prost in 1983 and has emphasized the importance of community involvement. “We try to be a giving culture,” he says. The firm’s employees support local organizations by contributing time, financial gifts and other in-kind donations. In addition, many serve on educational, professional and charitable boards, and support local charitable and civic organizations. Mueller says clients also have contributed significantly to the charity which, by way of monthly sponsorship, provides food, education and health services to the needy Adimalathura children.

Mueller, who grew up in a farming community outside of St. Louis, says he fell into accounting by chance. He had gone to University of Missouri-St. Louis to study engineering, but struggled with calculus. “I was always mathematical, but

I just couldn’t ace it!” he says. “I took an accounting class instead and had much more success.” He put himself through college by working for the county Highway Department and then, as a junior, for a downtown CPA firm where he learned to type, make coffee and compile financial statements. “Soup to nuts, I learned it all,” Mueller says. After college, he interned at what is now KPMG, where Prost also worked. “We have been friends for a very long time,” he says.

Recently, Accounting Today named Mueller Prost one of 2016’s best accounting firms to work for. “We know the accounting industry is very competitive; we are proud to create a welcoming environment where our employees can thrive and we can be a part of creating their future,” managing partner Prost says. The award honors the best employers in the accounting industry.

Mueller Prost has four offices and 17 partners specializing in taxes, estate planning, business consulting and “good, old-fashioned accounting services.” Mueller says his particular area of specialty is tax and because tax laws are forever changing, he is forever learning. “It’s a very complex, ever-changing world, but my goals are always to make it as understandable as possible,” he says. “And to help people apply what they’ve learned and have as many options as possible for themselves, their family and their business.”

♠ Queen, settled for 6 ♠s.

[ the play ] 1. West led the ♥ 5, Dummy the Ace, East the 4, and Declarer the 2.

2. The ♠ 2, 9 from East, Declarer the Ace, and West the 8.

3. Declarer then cashed the ♠ King and was greatly disappointed when West showed out.

4. The 4:1 trump break scuttled the contract.

WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED:

1. When playing the ♠ Ace, Declarer, noting the 9 and 8 from defenders, should have reassessed the situation.

2. If East had the singleton 9, there was nothing Declarer could do to prevent losing two trump tricks.

3. If the 8 from West was a singleton, then Declarer could avoid losing two trump tricks via a safety play against East.

4. So Declarer should trump a ♥ in Dummy.

5. Then Declarer leads the last trump from Dummy and when East plays low, they should play the 10!

6. When West shows out, Declarer cashes the ♠ King.

7. Using the Rule of One, Declarer leaves the high trump outstanding and runs the ♣s.

8. When East trumps in with the high trump, Declarer sluffs a losing ♦. When East returns a ♥, Declarer wins the King.

9. A ♦ to Dummy. Contract bid and made.

NOTE: Declarer should have made the obvious safety play. Remember a good defender will try to obfuscate.

THE CHEF

Kore Wilbert

THE PRICES

$8-$12 starters, $12-$36 entrees

THE FAVORITES

Roasted Salmon, Seared Scallops with Beet Puree, Coconut Fried Rice, The Ground Score

THIS NEW SPOT ON GRAND AT SHENANDOAH has a

lot of visual appeal. There’s a homey aesthetic in its brick walls, tree slab tabletops and ‘living wall’ plantings. The menu is tiny, about eight starters and the same number of entrees. Chef Kore Wilbert is locally trained at L’Ecole Culinaire and won the Chef Battle Royale at this year’s Taste of St. Louis, which tested his skills at transforming mandatory ingredients into innovative dishes.

And innovation there is on this tiny menu, as well as some misses. Wilbert’s strength seems to be in adding delightful touches to his food, like the tiny peppadew peppers in a creamy pasta dish called The Ground Score ($17). The name doesn’t do justice to the plateful of house-made pasta with local mushrooms and white wine cream sauce. It was sprinkled with ground black walnuts, another nice touch. The noodles themselves, similar to fettucine, were thick and clunky, but the flavor was excellent, so I overlooked that.

Another fabulous dish was Coconut Fried Rice ($12), a sweet Thai coconut milk dish with bits of fried egg, slivered green onion and wild-caught shrimp; it was

excellent in flavor and generous in portion size, all at a fabulous price. Another winner was the Roasted Salmon ($19), which came correctly cooked—medium rare—and was creatively done with a meaty pistachio crust that gave it a slightly Mediterranean flavor. Also on the plate was asparagus puree with intense flavor and an earthy rice described as “whipped feta lemon herb truffle risotto.”

A special appetizer, Seared Scallops on Beet Puree ($10), had many good qualities too, but also illustrated what can happen when creativity goes too far. Two massive scallops were cooked perfectly and had excellent flavor. The sweet, purple beet puree made a beautiful bed for them, and a few pickled red onion rings added a subtle sour element. But other things in there were too strong and interrupted the simple enjoyment of good seafood. There were puckered black olives (too salty and sour) and radish microgreens (too bitter) for delicate scallop meat.

Our visits exposed a few bigger misses as well. In particular the fried foods, which retained more oil than they should. That was true of the Crispy Shrimp Rolls

($11), tail-on shrimp wrapped in wonton skins and deep fried. And less so of the Pan Seared Duck Dumplings ($10), which had very thick skins and tasted like they had been reheated in the pan, rather than cooked-to-order.

And I can’t recommend the Lamb Chops ($24), which were not correctly grilled. Instead of achieving a crisp exterior, which burns off much of the fat, they were soft in texture, which allows the fat to release and coat the chops in an unpleasant way. Additionally, they were served with a finishing ‘sauce’ of browned butter—lamb chops are fatty enough without adding more! On the plus side, the dish came with a celery root puree that helped cut the fat, and a generous serving of broccolini, wisely served rather plain.

The wait staff is warm and friendly, although not particularly knowledgeable. (When will restaurateurs accept that an ounce of training pays off in a pound of customer satisfaction?) For dessert, the Decadent Chocolate Cake ($6) was good, with rich chocolate flavor, and the accompanying ice cream and macerated strawberries were both very good.

Certain Women 〉〉

• Christmas Eve

Kelly Reichardt’s Certain Women takes place on the Montana plain. Those vast empty skies, those distant, bluey crags are what knit this triptych together. Otherwise—on initial inspection—there’s little to link these three ‘tales.’ But are they tales? Are there beginnings, middles and ends to these wisps of stories? Can something be called ‘whole,’ when it feels more to do with what isn’t than what is? What is going on here? What is there to say about a film that exists in the negative space—in what is not said and not done, in the excruciating intimacies of silence? But they are all about women, and the four female actors (Laura Dern, Michelle Williams, Kristen Stewart and Lily Gladstone) galvanize with ‘performances’ that don’t feel like acting at all, but women just being.

Something else that’s fascinating: the sound in all that silence, the fact that, at any given moment, there are so many things to hear, so many layers of noise to pay attention to: the wince of train tracks, the crackle of talk radio, silverware clinking on a plate, horse hooves creaking on snow. Boots squelch in mud, rivers rush, birds peep. Even the sound of a seat belt buckling is delicious here. And the strangest thing of all is that—even amid all this din—Certain Women still manages to feel like a silent movie.

OPTIONS FOR HIM WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY PHYSICIANS by alexa beattie

CUTLINE MARISSA TENENBAUM, M.D., AND TERENCE MYCKATYN, M.D.

IT’S HARD TO KNOW WHAT CAME FIRST: better, safer and less-invasive cosmetic

procedures or the increased clientele seeking them. Either way, options for cosmetic improvement have greatly expanded over the years, and so has their popularity. In fact, a fast-growing group to seek a more youthful, invigorated look is men.

“There’s a definite upward trend in cosmetic surgery, and it’s much more socially acceptable,” reports Terence Myckatyn, M.D., director of cosmetic surgery at Washington University School of Medicine. While we may not typically associate males with surgeries meant solely to improve appearance, that is indeed what is happening. Their reasons, says Myckatyn, range from simply wanting to correct something that has bothered them for a while to feeling that a brighter, younger look will help them professionally.

Myckatyn, who practices at West County Plastic Surgeons of Washington University, reports the most popular procedures in men are blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), gynecomastia (breast reduction surgery), and liposuction after massive weight loss. “Blepharoplasty removes excess skin, the muscle and fat deposits that create bags, and overall puffiness that can lead to a tired appearance,” Myckatyn explains, and it can be performed on either upper or lower lids or both.

During the lower lid procedure, a small incision is made either inside or outside the lash line for tissue to be removed, Myckatyn says. Upper lid surgery involves an incision made in the eyelid crease and occasionally includes the removal of a thin strip of bulky muscle called the orbicularis oculi as well. The upper lid procedure

often takes place under local anesthetic, the lower lid most commonly requires general sedation.

While not as much related to maintaining a professional edge, gynecomastia can impact a man’s self-confidence, Myckatyn says. “Men frequently take their shirts off,” he notes, “and can be sensitive about their appearance in the chest area.” Patients are treated with ultrasonic-assisted liposuction to remove the fat, and excess skin is removed surgically if necessary. Breast reduction usually is performed under general anesthesia, with patients returning to work seven to 14 days after the operation.

Myckatyn and colleague Marissa Tenenbaum, M.D., also specialize in one of the newest forms of liposuction called HydraSolve, which uses tissue liquefaction technology (TLT). While some liposuction devices rely on heat or water to dislodge fat cells, Myckatyn says HydraSolve employs a synergy of both to separate fat cells from the body. “There’s far less pain, bleeding and bruising,” he says.

Myckatyn estimates that 25 percent of his cosmetic practice now is men (just a few years ago, that number was 10 percent) and attributes the rise in numbers in part to newer, more time-efficient technologies. “An entire back now can be lasered of hair in 10 minutes. And CoolSculpting, which reduces fat by freezing, takes little more than 30 minutes,” he notes. With those options, cosmetic improvement simply has become easier for professionals, and with ease has come greater acceptance. “It used to be that there was great stigma attached for men,” Myckatyn says. “Thankfully, that is changing.”

COVER STORY

WUPhysicians.wustl.edu

FOOD AS MEDICINE “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food,” wrote Hippocrates, the Greek physician still considered the father of modern medicine, nearly 2,500 years ago. It’s an eloquent way of stating, “We are what we eat.” So how can we improve our ‘medicinal’ eating?

“Many things we now use as spices have a long history of medicinal use,” says F. Afua Bromley, acupuncturist and Eastern medicine practitioner at Acupuncture St. Louis. “We see them within the texts of Chinese medicine and folk medicine, going back thousands of years.”

During her training, Bromley spent weeks in Chinese hospitals. “Medicinal soup formulas were considered part of your therapy,” she says, noting that many foods have long been prescribed for settling upset tummies, clearing congested airways and other uses.

LET’S FACE IT

BY RICK STOFF

There’s no doubt most women want to shed their fat, not add more. But when it comes to the face, it may surprise you to learn that a youthful appearance relies on the fat beneath your skin. Apparently, the key to more youthful eyes, cheeks and lips is a little plumping. Here’s what the experts say.

FRUIT

cheeks The fountain of youth relies on zygomatics, which is not a ‘as seen on TV’ gadget for slicing, dicing and juicing. We already have zygomatics, one in each cheek: our zygomatic bones. By keeping the skin around those from sagging and sinking, we can preserve youth.

| THE KEY TO BALANCE “As we age, many of the things we don’t like on our faces—the lines around the mouth, the jowly chins—come from the cheeks, says Dr. Natalie Semchyshyn, a SLUCare dermatologist.

“Our bones thin everywhere, including the cheek area, and the youthful fat around those cheeks goes south.” The zygomatic bones give the cheeks definition and form part of the eye orbits.

“If you lose the scaffolding to hold up the skin, everything starts to sag,” Semchyshyn says.

Dr. Richard Maack, facial plastic surgeon at Synergi Facial Surgery in Chesterfield, adds: “As we age the face loses bone, collagen and fat. The cheeks are important because they give us a youthful, refreshed appearance.”

| FILLING IN THE BLANKS “Many years ago, all we had were implants, but now the most popular approach is replacing that lost volume with fillers,” Maack says. Sagging facial tissues most commonly create lines between the nose and mouth corners (nasolabial folds) and below the mouth (marionette lines). “We used to think we could just fill in those lines,” Semchyshyn says. “But if you don’t treat the cheek and under-eye areas, you will still have a tired look that is not youthful.”

PEARS The fruit of a tree species that originated in western Europe and north Africa Comfort for a sore throat

» Fillers used to supplement the cheek area are very natural, Maack adds. “We can contour them to the cheeks, face and temple area. We have three categories of filler,” he explains. “The hyaluronic acids raise the tissue and give it volume. The more dramatic filler, a calcium injection, sits right on the bone. Another builds up your own collagen; it has little particles of lactic acid that your body builds collagen around,” Semchyshyn says.

,

| NO PAIN LOTS OF GAIN Fillers are applied through a few needle sticks, Semchyshyn says. “It is really not painful. We put a numbing cream on the skin 20 to 30 minutes beforehand so the patients don’t feel much. The number of injections depends on the area that needs to be treated. It can be as few as two or three. Any time you are getting injections in the skin, there is a risk of bruising and there can be some puffiness and redness for a few days.”

The body breaks down the synthetic fillers over time as it would their natural counterparts. “Some products can last nine to 12 months, sometimes up to two years,” Semchyshyn says. “The cost can range from $700 up to $3,000, depending on how much you need.”

| The Next Step Implants Cheek implants, consisting of firm silicone 1 to 2 inches

long, remain the choice of some patients despite their more invasive, surgical nature, Maack explains. “The procedure is not too bad,” he says. “There is no external incision since we go under the lip. We don’t have much bruising, maybe a little numbness temporarily. The cost of implants is probably $3,000, but injectable fillers, too, add up over time.”

Fillers do not replace a surgical face-lift, Semchyshyn says. “They are intended to freshen your appearance in an easy treatment with low downtime and low risk.”

Lips Small but powerful, lips radiate personality, beauty—and age. They’re the proverbial canaries in the coal mine, the first facial feature to lose youthful plumpness. But with a little help, this is one time you can fool Mother Nature.

| COLLAGEN & SOFT TISSUE “The lips start to lose volume in the early 20s with the loss of collagen production and the decrease of soft tissue and fat in the face,” says Dr. Richard Moore, cosmetic surgeon and medical director of The Lifestyle Center.

“The human brain is hard-wired to notice subtle features. An aging lip has several things happening,” agrees Dr. Joseph A. Muccini, a surgical dermatologist at MidAmerica Skin Health & Vitality Center. “We lose some of the supple, kissable quality we associate with youth. Some of that is related to the loss of volume in other parts of the face. As the cheeks droop, the geometries around the lips change. The corners of the mouth are buried, and a smile might turn into a frown.” A tell-tale sign of lip retreat is the loss of real estate for makeup.

| PROTECT YOUR ASSETS! There is no way to stop the clock, but you can take care of your lips. “Smoking, drinking through a straw and sun exposure can be a terrible combination,” Muccini says.

Pulling all those thick smoothies through a straw actually can tighten the muscles surrounding the lips and turn the adjacent skin into a wrinkle farm.

Lip moisturizers and sun screens, while recommended for health and comfort, are not going to delay aging, Moore points out. Neither will early application of dermal fillers, the common treatment for thinning lips. But it will make your lips look younger. “It is not a preventive thing,” he says. “While there is a little bit of collagen stimulation caused by dermal fillers, it is not going to make a difference in the aging process.”

| THE WHOLE PICTURE

A slight adjustment may take years off the lips’ perceived age, Muccini says. “The fine margin between the pink lip and the outside skin is called the vermilion border.

It is one of the features we subconsciously associate with youth. Doing fine detail work with filler around the border makes the lip pop.”

Another way to add definition to lips is via synthetic, dissolvable sutures. “We can lift the corner of the lip and take years off someone’s appearance,” Moore says.

“NovaThread is made of a material that the body dissolves over four to six months and leaves a strand of collagen so the benefit lasts nine to 14 months.”

In rare cases, botulinum toxin products may be used to counteract wrinkles and lines, Muccini says. “If applied meticulously in a diluted or diffused way, there are a few places around the lip where the smile can be improved when there is wrinkling from muscle contraction.”

The current trend in rejuvenation considers the lips in concert with adjacent facial features. “It isn’t just about the lips,” Muccini says. “We have to decide what elements the patient would like to address. We can augment the lip itself, but as the woman passes the age of 35, we see the lip in context with other parts of the face. Over 55, we talk about a more global approach.”

Dermal fillers, costing about $550 to $650 per syringe (adequate for most lip plumping), are synthetic versions of substances naturally found in the body. “There are injection techniques that can make the lips appear fuller as they thin,” Moore says. “Adding volume also can help in the early stages of wrinkling around the mouth.”

“We can lift the corner of the lip and take years off someone’s appearance.”

“Just as I demand the best instruments and nurses in my operating room, I insist upon the newest technology and most effective products for my patients’ skin.”

Mix all the ingredients together in a blender. Make sure your measurements are precise and that the ingredients have been blended down to a complete liquid—no banana lumps, this isn’t a smoothie!

2.

Massage mask into your hair from root to tip.

3.

Grab your shower cap and cover hair. Wrap a warm towel around the shower cap; the warmth of the towel will allow for deeper penetration of mask.

4.

Let the mask sit for 15 minutes, then rinse. Shampoo and condition as usual.

PRO TIP: If you don’t have a blender, use a whisk.

1.

In your mixing bowl, combine the olive and coconut oils and mix well. Depending on the length and natural volume of your hair, apply a large enough amount to cover your strands from mid-scalp to tip. Generally, 2 T. coconut oil and 1 T. olive oil are just the right amount.

2.

Pay special attention to the hair ends, rubbing oils onto them.

3.

Put your hair in a bun and cover with a shower cap.

Leave for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the volume and damage of your hair. The more damaged, the longer you should leave on the mask.

4.

Rinse out the mask, and shampoo and condition your hair as normal.

PRO TIP: If you apply this mask too close to the roots, your hair is more likely to appear greasy. Therefore, go easy at the scalp, especially since hair doesn't tend to damage at the root.

» NFL & painkillers

Researchers at WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE reveal a correlation between the injuries associated with football and long-term use and abuse of painkillers. The study, published online in the journal, Drug and Alcohol Dependence, found that 7 percent of 644 former NFL players who retired between 1979 and 2006 were currently using painkilling opioid drugs. That’s more than four times the rate of opioid use in the general population.

“We asked about medications they used during their careers and whether they used the drugs as prescribed, or had ever taken them in a different way or for different reasons,” says principal investigator LINDA B. COTTLER, professor of epidemiology in psychiatry. “More than half used opioids, and 71 percent had misused the drugs, that is, taken them in a different way than prescribed, or taken painkillers that were prescribed for someone else.” Cottler says it’s not clear from the study whether retired players became dependent on the drugs, but results imply that retired NFL players continue to live with a lot of pain, she says. Medications that fall within this class of drugs include morphine, Vicodin, codeine and oxycodone.

» PTSD & heart health

» fountain of youth

A SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY researcher has received an NIH grant to study the effects of PTSD on heart health. “Following the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, veterans with PTSD have an approximate two-fold increase in hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes and ischemic heart disease,” says JEFFREY SCHERRER, PH.D., and associate professor in family and community Medicine. “Controlling for depression, anxiety and cardiac risk, women with five or more PTSD symptoms in a 14-year prospective study were more than three times as likely to develop coronary heart disease compared to a non-PTSD control group.” The study takes into account unhealthy coping behaviors among veterans (inactivity, poor nutrition and chemical dependency), and seeks to determine whether patients who have been treated successfully for PTSD are more likely to adopt a healthier lifestyle.

If the research finds that a diagnosis of PTSD remains a risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic disease despite improved health behaviors, Scherrer says lifelong aggressive monitoring of these patients would be warranted. The $2,348,320 grant came from the NIH’s National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Scientists at WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE may have unlocked a secret to the aging process. Recognizing that a cell’s ability to produce energy declines with age and that energy is a key player in aging, researchers may have found a natural compound that slows the clock. The compound NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), added to water and given to mice, appears to reduce typical signs of aging like gradual weight gain, loss of insulin sensitivity and decline in physical activity. “This means older mice have metabolism and energy levels resembling that of younger mice,” says DR. SHIN-ICHIRO IMAI, professor of developmental biology. “Since human cells rely on this same energy production process, we are hopeful this will translate into a method to help people remain healthier as they age.” NMN can be given safely to mice and is found naturally in a number of foods, including broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, edamame and avocado. When it is dissolved in water and fed to mice, it appears in the bloodstream in 3 minutes and is converted to NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a key element of energy production. Imai is working with researchers to conduct a clinical trial testing the safety of NMN in healthy humans. Phase 1 began this year at Keio University School of Medicine in Tokyo.

T&S HOME ] 00 FORDYCE LANE

listing price | $1,699,000 listing agent | ann wroth and holly bry of gladys manion real estate MIKE AND MARGARET ANN LATTA know their grandchildren are disappointed. The home

on Fordyce Lane has been something of a resort for the children since 1997. With a saltwater pool, large, grassy field and a spacious lower level that served as their playroom, visiting their grandparents was always a highlight. “Between our children and grandchildren, there is someone here every weekend,” Margaret Ann says. “Leaving is bittersweet. We are definitely sad, but it’s time we downsize.”

The Lattas have created many memories over the past 19 years; a large family that includes 10 grandchildren has meant countless parties. “We have had birthday parties for 4- to 75-year-olds,” Margaret Ann says. “We have a huge field that backs up to woods, and we’ve had monsters and pirates come out of the woods for parties.”

Football and baseball games typically fill the open field during daylight hours—even in the snow. The 1.8 acres also provided picturesque backdrops for two wedding receptions. One was formal with a white tent, the other was held under a circus tent with bright colors filling the yard.

“We had candles floating in the pool and sitting on the rocks,” Margaret Ann says. “Both were just magical.”

Two years before the Lattas moved in, the previous owners had built an addition extending the total above-ground living space to nearly 7,000 square feet. “The architect did a good job with the addition because you can’t tell where it starts or ends, even though it doubled the size of the house,” Mike Latta says. “We knew when we walked in, it was a lot of house for two people. But we just fell in love with it. We were overwhelmed by the openness and the sunlight pouring in.”

The space worked out perfectly. The Lattas added the pool and gazebo outside. “We would eat dinner in the gazebo a lot and lunch on the weekends,” Margaret Ann says. “It’s built up almost on stilts, so it’s like you’re eating in a treehouse.” Mike’s favorite corner of the home is his study, since he worked from home. It has large windows that bring sunlight in each day. Margaret Ann loves the kitchen. “The breakfast area opens to the deck, and the kids were constantly going in and out of there,” she says. “That is where the family converges and where life is.”

HOMEWORK] DEAR HOMEWORK,

We moved into a home that had some fragmented landscaping work done over the years.

As we look at cleaning up the bed out front, we want to consider ways to make use of the space, to make it more inviting and colorful and also retain some privacy if we create a patio.

The rear of the house has limited potential for patio space. One thing we’re considering is replacing the mismatched brick walk with a stone walkway leading to an expanded front porch. We’d used boxwood shrubs to create a screen for a sitting area to the right.

Sincerely,

—FOCUS ON THE FRONT

DEAR FOCUS ON THE FRONT,

We start off here with a handsome story-and-a-half Colonial perfectly framed (but not blocked) by tall shade trees. The foundation planting is a bit spotty, so let’s just start over.

I’ve created a new terrace aligned with the existing bay window. This boxwood-hedged patio helps reinforce the bay’s prominence and the home’s asymmetry. The front porch gets a new striped awning, which is both elegant and a little casual, to coordinate well with the new patio. A new, straight, stone walk forms a nice edge for more coherent and contiguous foundation plantings. A row of bright red flowers matches the patio furniture and adds the note of color you requested.

Tall corner evergreens add a helpful vertical accent to the façade, and a bed of liriope grass adds a grounding detail in front of the new boxwood hedge.

It’s nice to give a front lawn a reason for being!

Thanks for the interesting request, —HOMEWORK

f the kitchen is the heart of a home, then St. Louisans are in for a whole lot of love. On Nov. 10, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation hosts its seventh annual Heart of the Home Kitchen Tour, and it promises to be an inspiration for cooks and diners alike. This year, the self-guided tour will take guests into the new or newly remodeled kitchens of 12 different houses in Creve Coeur, Frontenac, Ladue and Town & Country. Participants will be given a starting address, where they will receive a guided map to the rest of the homes. Sponsors of each kitchen will be on hand to discuss the designs, and local restaurants will put the kitchens through their paces by preparing tasty treats on-site. Since its first year, the JDRF tour has raised almost $200,000 for JDRF and the battle against Type 1 Diabetes. Town & Style is proud to be a media sponsor of the event. For tickets and information, call 314.729.1846 or visit tinyurl.com/jdrfkitchentour. Below is a sneak peek at five of the kitchens.

Hickory Lane, F R O N T E N A C

“Love people well; cook them good food.” This is the motto these Frontenac homeowners tried to live by when designing their kitchen. “We wanted to love people well by creating an open, comfortable atmosphere where friends and family could gather to enjoy delicious food and intimate, easy conversation,” says the homeowner. “The idea of a large kitchen island where friends could sit and the cook could still be part of the conversation inspired us.”

Old Ladue Drive, L A D U E

The kitchen with high-end appliances and a large center island with custom countertop is the perfect place for friends and family to gather.

According to the homeowner, “If the home is where the heart is, the kitchen is where that heart resides. It’s where we share the stories of our day, learn to bake the perfect brownie, wash a skinned knee and work on school projects.”

Tufton Farm Court, C R E V E C O E U R

This outstanding chef’s kitchen has dramatic granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and custom cabinets that are illuminated with interior LED lighting. Perfect for entertaining, the large Andersen sliding glass doors expand the living area to the covered outdoor patio. “We love the roomy, practical and efficient design of the kitchen area, which is perfect for our family and for entertaining our friends!” says the homeowner.

Leland Ridge Walk, TOW N & COU N T RY

When this Town & Country couple enlisted designer Jimmy Jamieson to redesign their kitchen, he listened and created “a gathering space filled with warmth, comfort and beauty that is inviting to our family and friends,” says the homeowner. The high-end appliances allow everyone to work side by side to create the perfect meal, while the spacious island beckons to gather and enjoy. “Whether we are cozying up to the fireplace after Sunday dinner or celebrating with friends, this kitchen is the heart of our home.”

Hunters Grove, CREVE COEUR

This Creve Coeur couple says: “We always have had a deep appreciation for the soul of our old, traditional home, where there is an authenticity that can’t be duplicated.” Their newly remodeled kitchen provides all the modern conveniences for their active family, while blending seamlessly with the original spaces to preserve the integrity of the home. The white custom cabinetry, dark brown hardwood floors and beautiful center island set the stage for a warm gathering spot.

Evergreens by p. allen smith

for everyone

Aside from their dependable, vibrant color year-round, evergreens are useful for every garden. Large trees create a screen to provide privacy. That privacy—and the traditional piney greens of conifers—won’t wane with the seasons. These trees and shrubs also create a buffer and noise barrier between your home and busy streets or loud neighbors. Virtually every garden has something to gain from turning to evergreen plantings as a base for its landscaping.

This evergreen shrub is beloved for the red berries it produces in the fall and winter, which makes it a lovely addition to wreaths and garlands during the holiday season. Only female hollies will produce berries, so keep that in mind when you’re purchasing plants. The dwarf shrub variety, not grown for its berries, is very popular, and I have rows of them outside my offices in Little Rock. Yaupon holly can be used as a hedge, screen or even a topiary! They grow quickly and have small leaves, which makes these shrubs ideal for shaping.

Boxwood

My garden would not be complete without boxwoods. I use them to create living walls and punctuate entries, and as focal points. Their bright, green foliage pops against the gray winter landscape. You’ll want to plant these workhorse shrubs in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Even though they are shrubs, they can grow up to 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, depending on variety. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed with the green foliage these timeless, classic beauties bring to your lawn. At my Moss Mountain Farm in Arkansas, I plant the ‘Green Velvet’ variety. Keep in mind some boxwoods will ‘brown out’ in winter, so choose a variety that retains its green color.

Camellia sasanqua

Beautiful evergreen foliage and blooms from late fall through early spring make camellias a staple in any home garden. They grow easily in zones 7 to 10 and are droughttolerant. They’re also available in many sizes and shapes, so double check the height on any plants you purchase, especially if you’re placing them near your home. Camellias also can work well in containers and define spaces in the backyard or near decks and patios. ‘Yuletide’ is a favorite of mine, with its cheerful red petals and crown-like golden stamens.

By Lauren Reagan, Director of Hospitality The concept of Cork & Barrel Chop House and Spirits was born gathered around a kitchen table. Jill Ragan along with her husband, Joel and father Robert Ridgway, sat around the table talking and laughing about everything from business ventures to adorable puppies when Jill brought up the idea of purchasing a liquor store. This idea eventually blossomed into a farm-to-fork steakhouse with a focus on craft beer, fine wine and extraordinary spirits.

After months of preparation, Cork & Barrel is scheduled to open mid-December 2016.

“I’ve always wanted to own a restaurant. I want a place where people can come and relax, have a good meal, a couple of drinks and just unwind from their week without spending an arm and leg,” Jill said.

Jill knew she wanted the design concept to reflect her artisan food & drink concept. To do this she ordered a semi-truck full of 210 wine barrels, and had about as many design ideas!

These wine barrels became a main theme of the restaurant’s interior that features handmade, industrial and Americana décor. Take a look around when you visit, you never know where a barrel piece may be lurking.

“We don’t do anything the easy way around here. Every time I think of an idea we think of something else to go with it, it’s been a lot of fun.” says Jill.

Our team also wanted to be sure the farm-to-fork, locally sourced menu offered a signature taste. That is when we decided to partner up with the Big Green Egg Company in Atlanta.

We strive to be artisans of food & drink. It’s a tall order, but it’s a challenge we’re up for.

-- Jill Ragan

“The Big Green Egg originated from the Mushikamado and the Japanese have been cooking this way for 1,700 years, so why not us?” said Joel, who grew up around these cookers while living in Japan as a child.

Cork & Barrel is proud to be the first culinary partner with Big Green Egg in Missouri and our XXL cooker can cook up to 28 steaks at once. We also use it for chicken, fish, select side dishes and even some desserts.

You could soon see the egg in action as we host specialized events on the patio this spring.

No matter how exceptional the cooking equipment, it was crucial the person behind it to be state of the art. Our Executive Chef, Lee Gustin, has been in the industry for more than 35 years. His culinary skills have been showcased everywhere from country clubs to sporting venues, including our own St. Louis Blues. He and our culinary team will focus on giving multi-cultural flavors Homestyle flair with locally sourced items and cooking techniques.

So about those steaks, we offer a variety of cuts and sizes for every appetite from an 8oz Tenderloin Filet to an 20oz Cowboy Ribeye.

Whether you are partial to tenderloin, strip steak, sirloin, ribeye or prime rib we’ve got you covered and can even top them off with a wild mushroom demi glaze or gorgonzola steak butter.

If beef isn’t what’s for dinner for you, we’re bound to be serving up something you’ll love.

Try our Chicken Agave with lime and cilantro on top of chocolate rice or our Farm & Forest Ramen with a miso broth. Our Roasted Garlic Hummus with Chorizo Hashweh is a St. Louis take on a classic Mediterranean dish.

“The great thing about food is there are no limits. It’s all about pushing myself every day to make something that takes people out of their comfort zone. Like my chocolate rice, it’s based off Mexican chocolate, a little spicy and little sweet,” said Chef Lee. For lunch throw your taste buds for a loop by biting into our Mississippi Catfish Po Boy, a southern fried catfish sandwich with delta slaw, diced tomato and spicy red pepper mayo. Our Old Sailor Sandwich features corned beef smoked on the Big Green Egg with cider apple ale slaw, horseradish cheddar cheese and beer mustard on a salted soft pretzel roll.

Trying to keep it light? Our daily fresh fish special and homemade soups and salads are exactly what you’re looking for. Put the finishing touch on your meal with a bowl of our homemade ice cream. Chef’s current favorite is a fresh, honey and spice smoked peach flavor.

Our commitment to locally sourced and artisan quality carries on from our kitchen to our bar. We squeeze our citrus juices in house and create our own syrups and mixers. We carry a selection of local spirits including Mastermind Vodka from Pontoon Beach, Il., 360 Vodka from Kansas City, Mo. and the Pinckney Bend spirit line from New Haven, Mo. including gin, vodka, whiskey and tonic syrup.

Quality means starting out with the best, that’s why even our house tier spirits offer incredible taste, including 360 Vodka, Plantation Dark Rum, 4 Roses Yellow Label Bourbon and more. Our cocktail list features small batch bourbons, single malt scotches and specialty liqueurs like Backwoods Pecan Pie Moonshine, Art in the Age Rhubarb and Solerno Blood Orange.

When it comes to beer, we want to showcase a solid mix on our thirty plus tap handles. Local craft favorites like Urban Chestnut Zwickel and 4-Hands Single Speed stand beside new discoveries like New Holland Dragon’s Milk Bourbon Aged Stout and Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin. At Cork & Barrel you’ll always be able to sit down with a cold classic or be adventurous with a different kind of brew.

The great thing about food is there are no limits. It’s all about pushing myself every day to make something that takes people out of their comfort zone.

--Chef Lee Gustin.

Our wine list works to marry the old world classics with new world experiments for wines that can reach every palate. You’ll find food-friendly Italian reds, French-oaked chardonnays, blue bottle German riesling and a Spanish tempranillo.

You’ll also find Australian shiraz and Argentinean malbec as well as Oregon pinot noir, California cabernet and even a few of our favorite Missouri wines. Each is served to you in a signature “Cork & Barrel” glass that was etched in house.

“We strive to be artisans of food & drink.

It’s a tall order, but it’s a challenge we’re up for,” Jill said.

Join us this December for remarkable flavor, outstanding service and a unique experience you won’t forget. Sign up for our newsletter and follow us on Facebook to stay up to date on our grand opening and holiday specials.
