and obstetric physicians in the region.

Whether you see them for a routine checkup, a highly complex surgery or anything in between, you can count on them to be there for you throughout your life.

ten thousand baby boomers turn 65 each day. By 2030, one in five americans will be 65 or older. that’s why triHealth is changing how it provides the highquality, cost-effective care that aging Cincinnatians deserve—by becoming a learning organization and by adapting our facilities.

More than 16,000 seniors receive emergency treatment each year at triHealth’s Bethesda north. to enhance their care, we designed one of ohio’s first geriatric-friendly emergency departments that features: n slip-resistant floors, large-diameter analog clocks, and stretchers with thicker padding for older adults’ fragile skin. n seated scales for patients who have trouble standing and exam tables that easily adjust so patients don’t have to lift their legs. n 44 patient rooms with soft colors and special walls to filter sound. each step improves patients’ experience and helps ensure that they return for needed follow-up visits—key to getting healthier sooner and staying healthier longer.

Bethesda north is a nICHe (nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem elders) hospital. nICHe hospitals demonstrate continuous quality improvement, enhance patient and family experiences, and support community needs. We actively reapply our learning with geriatric patients and share it with others.

Bethesda north emergency Department nurses receive 17 hours of specialized geriatric training, mentoring and evidence-based protocols to guide their work. We also engage a staff pharmacist to ensure that older patients understand any medications prescribed for them, lessening their chance of a return visit to the hospital.

Whether you are looking for specialized care or are caring for a parent or loved one who is a senior, triHealth provides the right care in the right place. sincerely,

a time full of possibilities

Days a week, our doctors are in.

The best care for your urgent medical needs.

When you need urgent care, our doctors are ready, because we always have one available. With short wait times, you’ll receive fast care for your most urgent medical needs. Working with you and your primary care doctor, we get you back on the road to recovery.

maybe it’s the school child in me from years ago. but i’ve always felt that autumn—with those frst crisp days—is at least as much a time of new beginnings as January 1st. and it’s in that spirit that i present this fall issue of Cincinnati Health & Life, prepared in collaboration with trihealth. as i reported in this space in our debut issue, this magazine seeks to address health in its broadest sense. Good health is the foundation for life’s rich possibilities. and the time of year when the kids go trooping back to school with fresh notebooks and fresh expectations can be an opportunity to recommit ourselves to being—and feeling—our best. that means making smart lifestyle choices as well as knowing where to turn when we require medical treatment. that’s why the same publication that reports on successful treatments and clinical advances at trihealth can also help you live “the good life,” offering recipes for creative dinners the children won’t reject (page 32). or suggesting a sip of Riesling (page 38) or a visit to sarasota (page 46). or challenging you to try decorating a room not in safe, muted tones but in joyous bold colors (page 28). and you’ll find much more in this issue, of course. here’s to being all that we can be—and to a time of year that inspires new possibilities. Good health to you!

CINCY IS hoppIn’ So our city wasn’t built on rock and roll. It was built on beer instead—and aren’t we proud? It all started in 1812, when the frst brewery opened along the waterfront. Then in the mid-1800s came the German immigrants, who turned Over-the-Rhine into a beer lover’s paradise. (You can still walk through the underground tunnels where brewers used to store their barrels.) By the end of the century, Cincinnati was the country’s third-largest per capita beer producer, but it all ended during Prohibition.

Now, history seems to be repeating itself.

Since 2013, at least two dozen breweries have opened in the city, many, again, in the OTR area. And two new breweries, MadTree and Rhinegeist, are growing so quickly that they’re doubling and tripling their production, respectively, this year.

Sounds like it’s time to start tasting, right?

You can sample suds at Cincy Beerfest on Fountain Square, where more than 250 craft beers from local and visiting breweries will be available for tasting on September 11 and 12. Can’t make it? Instead, hop on a tour of the hops with the Craft Connection Brewery Tour, which makes stops at three to four breweries on Fridays and Saturdays.

Why should Taylor Swift’s exes get all the fun? Now you, too, can be the subject of a pop song. Swedish songwriter Jens Lekman comes to the Contemporary Arts Center in November for a “ghostwriting” event, in which he will turn the stories of love and loss from everyday people into recorded indie-pop songs. (Expect a little sarcasm in the lyrics—Lekman is known for his dry wit and droll humor.) To be considered, visit contemporaryartscenter .org and submit an entry form by midnight October 14.

Storytellers selected to participate will be notifed by November 2, and will then meet one-on-one with Lekman to give a more personal, detailed account of their experiences. The event will culminate with a performance by Lekman at CAC on November 20 at 8 p.m.

An industriAl (chic) revolution A hip new home décor shop, Elm & iron (1326 Vine st., 513.954.4217), which focuses on industrial and vintage reclaimed items, has made its debut in the newly trendy Over-the-rhine neighborhood. After the success of his two stores in Columbus and Powell, owner dan McClurg opened his third spot this past April in a 2,000-squarefoot space on Otr’s bustling Vine street. (He has since closed the Powell location.) sold at this “hipster restoration Hardware” are one-of-a-kind vintage and replica items at affordable prices—like original Cincinnati streetcar ads and a vintage car front repurposed as a leather love seat. to see samplings of the selection and stay up-to-date on sales and events, follow the store at facebook.com/elmandironotr.

And have you heard about the old Pike’s Opera House, where John Wilkes Booth’s older brother was performing the day before Booth assassinated President

Abraham lincoln? in his new book, Lost Cincinnati, author and historian Jeff suess shares these and many more forgotten stories about the Queen City. suess writes a historical column for the Cincinnati Enquirer, where he also works as the librarian, and it’s clear he dug deep into the archives to unearth the city’s most fascinating mysteries and lesser-known histories for this 160-page book. Pick it up at a local bookstore, such as JosephBeth Booksellers, for $21.99.

Jack Basil, M.D., chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Good Samaritan Hospital, is treating Debbie Walter for ovarian cancer, and she is responding well.

in OCtObEr 2013, DEbbiE WaLtEr began feeling lousy. Her stomach was bloated, and she felt as if she were “five months pregnant.” So the 45-year-old Cincinnati native scheduled a visit with her ob/gyn, who thought it was a gastrointestinal issue and referred her to a specialist. but the weekend before that appointment, Debbie felt worse— bad enough to call her family physician on Saturday. “He recommended going to the emergency room,” she recalls. “i thought he was nuts and said, ‘Do i have to?’ He prescribed an antibiotic but said, ‘if you vomit, go to the Er.’” that’s where she ended up the next day— the emergency room at triHealth’s Good Samaritan Hospital. there, a computed tomography (Ct) scan found a mass, which was confirmed by a blood test the following week to be ovarian cancer. Like most ovarian cancers, it had already spread to other organs, and Debbie’s was classified as stage 3. “i was stunned,” she says. Her husband, andy, 46, a vice president of information technology at Procter & Gamble, was scared.

“We were high school sweethearts, and i had never seen the man cry. but he cried about this,” says Debbie. “that was shocking to me.” their two children, Michael, 19, a student at the University of Cincinnati, and austin, 17, who attends Saint Xavier High School, were equally upset. but Debbie was determined to battle her disease. “i put on my combat boots and got ready to fight,” she says. “i never considered dying.”

She may not have considered it, but the fact is that ovarian cancer is a very dangerous disease. Survival length has increased gradually over the past 20 to 30 years, says Jack basil, M.D., a gynecologic oncologist who chairs the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Good Samaritan Hospital and is chair of the triHealth Women’s Services board, but “in general, the five-year survival for ovarian cancer is about 45 percent.” the odds are poor because, unlike colorectal and breast cancer, ovarian cancer is very difficult to detect in its early stages, when it is more easily treated. “by the time symptoms

PErSOnaL battLE, puBlic War Debbie Walter of Cincinnati has been engaged in a two-year battle against ovarian cancer, and she has taken that battle from her hospital room to the public arena. “Ovarian cancer is now my full-time job,” says the former fashion consultant.

She joined the board of the Ovarian Cancer alliance of Greater Cincinnati as co-chairperson. Her husband, andy, also joined, as treasurer. His experience on the Multiple Sclerosis Society board helped the couple “grow this small organization into a much larger group,” says Debbie. in fact, they created the alliance’s first board of directors, and included two local specialists, among them her own doctor, Jack basil, M.D., chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Good Samaritan Hospital. the Walters have revamped the organization’s website and are promoting three major fundraising events during the year. the Jeans & Jewels Gala is scheduled for September 12, and a 5K run/walk

will take place on September 19— both to help mark Ovarian Cancer awareness Month. there is also a girls’ high school basketball tournament every winter, at which the team members wear teal uniforms— the official color of ovarian cancer awareness—and pass out information about the disease. the group also appears at health fairs and other events to get the word out. “Debbie is raising awareness,” Dr. basil says. “that is where she is trying to make a difference.” behind the scenes, Debbie and andy are trying to raise money through corporate sponsorships and more fundraising outreach. “i am still a little timid about asking for money, but people take me more seriously when they know what i am going through,” she says. “to my husband, this is personal. He never felt comfortable asking for money for the MS Society. but he has no problem asking for help here.” if you would like to help, go to cincyovariancancer.org.

seen her medical records by the time she consulted with him and was aware of the need to act quickly, had already scheduled time in the operating room for her. “We felt very confident in choosing him,” says Debbie. “Andy and i had made our minds up that we weren’t going to waste time interviewing a lot of doctors. i wanted to get the cancer out of me. We asked him one question that reassured us—why should we choose him? He wasn’t cocky.

“I was always concerned about breast cancer and gettIng my mammograms. but I dIdn’t know the relatIonshIp between ovarIan and breast cancer.”

He said, ‘What i am doing is following protocol, the same as what a doctor at a specialty hospital would do.’ He was not offended that we asked, and he answered the question very well.”

“Debbie was a typical ovarian cancer patient,” Dr. Basil says. “She experienced nonspecific symptoms lasting a couple of months.” those symptoms usually include abdominal or pelvic pain and bloating. Along with her ct and blood test results and her stage 3 diagnosis, her family medical history included a history of breast cancer, which is strongly correlated with ovarian cancer. “With overwhelming information like that, we feel that no biopsy is necessary,” he says. “Surgery is the initial therapy.”

Just eight days after her first visit to the doctor for abdominal pain, Debbie underwent a total hysterectomy, including removal of her fallopian tubes and ovaries, along with “radical tumor debulking”—removal of cancerous tissue from her surrounding organs. “She seemed to tolerate things very well,” Dr. Basil recalls. “She was in a category called ‘optimally debulked,’ which gives her a survival advantage.”

Debbie spent five days in the hospital. “it was a very hard surgery,” she says. “i basically lay on my couch and slept for a full month afterward.” Her chemotherapy, which she started about a month after the surgery, was difficult too. She received six 21-day cycles of chemo over five months through a port inserted in her abdomen, which delivered the drugs directly to the site of her cancer. “i had to lie flat for five hours,” she says. But the treatments worked, and her blood tests were normal when they were finished. “She had a complete response—there was no evidence of disease,” says Dr. Basil.

Although her head was “spinning” immediately after her diagnosis, Debbie and her husband began searching for the best doctors in the area. “Dr. Basil’s name kept coming up,” she says. “Everyone said, ‘You need to go to him.’”

She did. And Dr. Basil, who had

what you Should know about OvaRIan CanCER Currently there are no reliable ways to diagnose ovarian cancer early. “diagnosis is the focus of national and international research, but nothing has changed yet,” says Jack basil, m.d., chair of the department of obstetrics and Gynecology at Good samaritan Hospital.

However, there are other ways to take a stand against the disease. n Know the symptoms. “any change in bowel or bladder habits, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, bloating or feeling full after eating too quickly that last for two weeks or more should be brought to a physician’s attention,” he says. n Know your family history. “if there are multiple cases of breast cancer in your family or a history of ovarian or fallopian tube cancer, or if cancer develops at a younger age than normal, those are

drug therapy to try to prevent recurrence. if not, she will undergo more chemo. during her remission, debbie also had genetic testing. “she was very young to develop ovarian cancer, in her early 40s, so hers was likely hereditary,” dr. basil says. sure enough, she was found to carry the brCa1 gene, which is linked to both ovarian and breast cancer. Her three sisters were also tested, and two came back positive as well. “my grandmother and seven of her sisters all died from breast cancer, so that was in my mind,” she says. “i was always concerned about breast cancer and getting my mammograms. but i didn’t know the relationship between ovarian and breast cancer.”

red fags that should be discussed with your gynecologist,” dr. basil continues.

While diagnostics are lagging, there have been recent advancements in treatment. “a new class of drugs called parp inhibitors have shown promise in treatment, as maintenance or for recurrence,” he says. “another drug called avastin has shown promise in treatment as an anti-angiogenesis factor—it blocks the blood supply to tumors.”

in october 2014, before her ovarian cancer recurrence, debbie had a double mastectomy as a prophylactic measure. she was in the middle of reconstructive surgery when her cancer recurred, so it was put on hold during her chemo treatments. When she is in remission once again, she will return to her reconstruction. debbie says dr. basil never gave her an ultimate prognosis for her disease. “He told me the statistics, but i don’t think there is a true answer,” she says. “ovarian cancer is so different in everybody. my attitude is to stay positive. of course you have moments where you’re upset and scared. but having a positive outlook and being proactive are the best things you can do for yourself.”

incontinent? mary was an otherwise he althy 61-ye ar-old woman who found herself confronted with a problem common to women her age. she had to urinate often, and she was unable to control occasional leakage, known as stress incontinence. the situation posed a challenge to her active lifestyle, so mary (not her real name) was referred to catrina c. crisp, m.d., msc, a urogynecologist with trihealth’s cincinnati Urogynecology associates. after a thorough exam, dr. crisp diagnosed prolapse. this condition occurs when the muscles and tissues that make up the pelvic floor become weak or injured. the

tissues form something like a hammock across the pelvis and, in women, hold the uterus, bladder, bowel and other pelvic organs in place so that they can work properly. childbirth, injury, being overweight and sometimes just getting older can cause the weakness, and as a result those internal organs slip out of place and lose function. “she had a relatively large prolapse, graded at stage 4, which is the highest grade,” dr. crisp says. surgery was mary’s best option. thanks to new minimally invasive techniques using the da Vinci robotic surgical system, these operations are now performed more quickly and with fewer

complications than in the past.

During the operation, Dr. Crisp sutures the vagina to a ligament located just above the tailbone to hold it in proper position. “We also create a sling to treat the incontinence,” she says. “it looks like a shoestring that goes under the urethra and provides a backboard, so when the urethra moves from stress it bumps up against this sling and closes, blocking leakage.” in some cases she also performs a hysterectomy —for one of two reasons. “there may be a medical reason such as excessive bleeding, or because it helps make the repair more durable,” she says. “Mary is postmenopausal, so we did it for better success.”

Prolapse operations typically take three to threeand-a-half hours, and most patients stay overnight in the hospital, though some can go home the same day. Patients can drive within three to five days, Dr. Crisp says, but should avoid heavy lifting for six weeks.

“Most people have no significant pain and require just oral pain medications for discomfort,” she notes. “they can do most daily activities right away, but it is recommended that they stay out of work for six weeks, maybe less for non-strenuous types of jobs.”

Dr. Crisp reports that Mary did very well with her surgery and recuperation. Some patients follow surgery with physical therapy to improve strength and control of the pelvic muscles, but Mary didn’t need it. “She had excellent resolution of prolapse and incontinence.”

New surgery ceNter opeNs at Bethesda North

over the past few years, the number of operations that can be performed on an outpatient basis with minimally invasive surgical techniques has risen dramatically. in order to meet this growing need, bethesda north Hospital is opening a new surgery center dedicated specifcally to these procedures.

When the bethesda north Minimally invasive Surgery Center opens this fall, after a yearlong project of planning and renovation of the previous center, “it will be the only one of its kind in the city,” says Sherrie Chenault, manager of the facility. “it is different from other ambulatory centers in that it operates in conjunction with a hospital rather than being free-standing.” that gives the center access to all of the hospital’s services on the same site, including medical testing, specialty care and hospital admission if necessary. the center actually reduced its number of operating rooms from seven to four in order to make them bigger to accommodate minimally invasive technologies, including perhaps a new da vinci Surgical System at the end of the year. it also boasts two additional nurses’ stations and renovated waiting, pre-op and post-op areas. “the pre-op rooms are now private, which is much more inviting for patients,” Chenault says. “the renovation also improves patient fow and makes processing more effcient.” the bethesda north Minimally invasive Surgery Center will focus on gynecologic as well as general outpatient surgeries “to provide the kinds of advanced technology that are not seen in any other outpatient center in this region,” she says.

if you suffer from any of the following prolapse symptoms, see your physician: n Pressure or heaviness in the pelvis or vagina n Problems with sexual intercourse n Leaking urine or sudden urge to empty the bladder n Low backache n uterus and cervix that bulge into the vaginal opening n repeated bladder infections n vaginal bleeding n increased vaginal discharge Symptoms may be worse when you stand or sit for long periods of time. Exercise or lifting also may make symptoms worse.

helping a hospital grow the people at Bethesda Butler honor its past while expanding its services for a Busy future.

if you’ve driven past trihealth’s Bethesda Butler hospital lately—or visited it for medical care—no doubt you’ve noticed lots of construction. the hospital is in the midst of a three-phase expansion that, when fnished early next year, will add more than 53,000 square feet of space and turn the former outpatient center into what chuck Brown, site executive director, calls a “short-stay” hospital. “our hospital began as an outpatient surgery center,” Brown says, “and over the years we’ve grown by adding more medical services and new buildings.” first

came an imaging center, then physical therapy, a 10-bed inpatient unit, a sleep lab, and, two years ago, a new emergency room. “But we are still effciency-focused. you can walk directly from your car to any of our service areas; it’s not like walking through a big hospital.” phase 1 of the latest construction project includes an expansion of the surgery center and its related facilities to prepare for phase 2, which will create a central supply space for sterile surgical equipment. “as we have grown from four to eight operating rooms, we need

to maintain effciency, and that requires more space,” he says. phase 3, which is scheduled to conclude in early 2016, is “the big expansion.” the hospital is adding two stories to house 32 new inpatient beds, six new intensive care unit beds, an expanded pharmacy, expanded waiting areas for surgery, a chapel, a kitchen and café and additional ancillary space. “one reason we are expanding is that we listen to our patients and physicians, who say they like the convenience and the services we provide,” says Brown.

“We are a community-based hospital, and being part of the triHealth system provides us with resources that we are able to leverage with our services. We use the same anesthesiology, pathology and emergency room physicians, for example, as other triHealth facilities. So while we are smaller, we have the quality and resources of bigger hospitals.” those resources include the following specialty services: Emergency room. the 17-bed ER is open 24/7 to handle any type of emergency. the same ER physicians who cover all of triHealth’s emergency departments also provide medical services here. an on-campus helipad is available for rare cases that require a transport after stabilization. there is a surgical call team available for emergency surgery as well. “We focus on customer service and rapid, effcient care,” says Brown. “from

the beginning we have maintained the highest level of satisfaction—in the 99th percentile.” Several rooms are designed specifcally for seniors’ needs, with special equipment, nonskid fooring, and special lighting and paint. the hospital is also linked electronically to the entire triHealth system, through a fully integrated medical records system. “and we are developing more telemedicine programs such as our social worker/ care management program, in which a social worker uses video technology to help patients with social needs, followup care, discharge planning and fnding rehabilitation services,” Brown says. “We have had very good results with that.” laboratory services. Walk-in appointments are available for a range of services, including blood draws, electrocardiograms and physical exams. the lab is open 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday,

Wednesday, thursday and friday; 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. tuesday; and 8 am. to 12 p.m.

osteoporosis and blood disorders, as well as chemotherapy. “the infusion unit on campus provides services locally so our patients don’t need to travel for those therapies,” brown says.

The Sleep Center. in a “hotel-like atmosphere” with “private bathrooms in every room,” specially trained sleep medicine specialists diagnose sleeping problems, after which they can create a customized treatment plan to help patients achieve a restful sleep. Patients as young as 7 can be evaluated for one of more than 80 known sleep disorders. (a parent may stay in the room with a child.) left untreated, sleep disorders may lead to anxiety, depression, fatigue, memory loss, hypertension, cardiac disease, stroke and traffc accidents. “it’s a wonderful facility,” says brown. “Patients love it because of the privacy it affords. it’s high-class in every way.”

What’s next on the horizon for bethesda butler Hospital? brown says service expansion will continue. “We continually look at what the community needs,” he says.

Triple Play Take The plunge and geT ouT of your color comforT zone.

Interior designer amanda nisbet is not

afraid of color, something that is strikingly evident in the visually stunning spaces she creates. “using strong color can be a high-wire act,” says nisbet, author of Dazzling Design, “but if you can keep

your balance, the effect is transformative.”

These three rooms prove it’s easy to incorporate color into your home— whether you’re just looking to dip your toe into a hue or you’re ready to dive right in.

Where to begin? Amanda Nisbet suggests starting with something you love—an object, a fabric—and let the room fow from there. Bright orange wool was the inspiration for this comfortably elegant living room.

The cozy, nubby fabric instantly gave the space a warm, relaxed feel, which is complemented by a calming backdrop of neutral tones in multiple textures—linen, wool, felt, velvet.

the reality of

riesling

Connoisseurs have known for some time that this white isn’t just for dessert. and now the seCret’s out.

greaT WIne can TaKe decadeS To reacH ITS full potential, and even longer to be fully understood. Take riesling, for example. For generations, this german-born varietal ran up against a narrow image of itself, especially in this country, where it was subjected to the sort of typecasting normally reserved for Hollywood. never mind that connoisseurs knew it for its dramatic range, capable of endearing sweetness but also of bone-dry sophistication. In the mainstream market, riesling was recognized largely for its syrupy parts in cloying productions like blue nun.

“It just sort of fell into that place in people’s minds,” says Janie brooks Heuck, general manager of brooks Winery in amity, oregon. “It was a sweet dessert wine you had with cheese or chocolate. It’s been a really tough reputation to shake.”

Heuck has spent much of the past decade helping riesling wriggle from that pigeonhole. The winery she runs sits in the heart of the Willamette Valley, where riesling was frst planted in the 1960s but has only recently come into its own. credit for its emergence goes in part to Heuck’s late brother, Jimi, who launched brooks Winery in 1998. around that time, many oregon growers were busy tearing up their riesling vines and replacing them with more lucrative varietals such as chardonnay, Pinot gris and Pinot noir. a passionate vintner who’d spent six years in europe enjoying rieslings of myriad styles, Jimi was more bullish on the grape. He implored local growers to preserve their plantings, promising, in turn, that he would buy their fruit.

The wines he wound up making reveal riesling as anything but a one-trick pony—they strike nearly every note on the dry-to-dulcet scale. When Jimi died unexpectedly in 2004, Janie stepped in to run the operation, maintaining the winery’s varietal focus even as she expanded its portfolio. brooks today produces 12 styles of riesling that showcase the grape in all its glory. Like her brother, Heuck likes her rieslings lean and clean, so that even brooks wines with high residual sugar showcase a subtle tension, their sweetness held in check to create a light, refreshing fnish.

“I can’t tell you how many times someone will come by the tasting room and tell me that they don’t like riesling

because it’s too sweet,” Heuck says.

“Then I pour them one of ours and watch their eyes go wide.” as much as any varietal, riesling expresses a sense of place. and there are few better backdrops for it than the Willamette Valley, where the cool climate and mineral-rich soil help coax out the bright and complex characteristics of a naturally high-acid grape. Similar traits can be found in wines from other riesling hotbeds around this country. To sample vintages from, say, chateau Ste. michelle outside Seattle or red newt cellars in new York’s Finger Lakes region is to taste a wine that gives the lie to mawkish stereotypes.

To Heuck, it seemed the sticky image would never die. but in recent years, an increasingly educated public has embraced the varietal for all that it can be, as evidenced by riesling’s growing presence on restaurant wine lists and market shelves.

It was a long time coming. but Heuck knew that the tipping point was approaching as far back as the fall of 2009, when a sommelier rang her from Washington, d.c., requesting a shipment of her fnest white.

The party turned out to be the obama administration’s frst state dinner at the White House, where brooks’ 2006 ara riesling was served during the second course. as news of the dinner broke, Heuck’s phone started ringing off the hook. The 2006 vintage sold out within days, along with half of the 2007, a choice that proved popular on both sides of the political aisle. “It was interesting,” Heuck says. “Half of the people who contacted us said, ‘If the wine’s good enough for him, it’s good enough for us.’ and the other half said, ‘I’m only buying this because I know it’s the only good decision he’s ever going to make.’” —Josh sens

gulf getaway

SaraSota: beacheS, culture, Shopping, food. oh, and a great reSort too! by rita guarna

It’s hard to plan the perfect beach weekend sojourn If you want both mental stimulation and total relaxation. Museums aren’t usually handy to the sand. but you’ll fnd that blend, as I did, in sarasota. this small, laid-back city, nestled in the middle of florida’s Gulf coast, is home to an international airport, a trendy downtown and waterfront, an old-masters-flled art museum and—oh yes—a world-renowned beach. surprised? I was. but thanks to the foresight of john ringling, the circus impresario, who in the 1920s founded the john and Mable ringling Museum of art and flled it with rubenses and botticellis, you can get your culture fx before or after lolling on the beach. while it’s top-notch, as regional museums go, the fabulous ca’ d’Zan—the ringlings’ winter home in which the collection is housed—is worth a peek on its own. It’s an over-the-top Venetian-style palace. the complex also features the circus Museum, complete with a miniature version of—you guessed it—the circus and its 900 animals. and that’s not all. there’s an orchestra and opera, plus the Marie selby botanical Gardens. even if you’re not horticulturally inclined, these 14 acres of gardens with eight greenhouses are a delight. (enjoy high tea daily in the carriage house here.) the bay preserve in nearby osprey is home to 4.3 acres of protected bays and beaches and serves as the site for various artists’ exhibits. here you can enjoy views of little sarasota bay, walk the kilbourne nature trail, picnic beneath centuriesold trees or tour a 1930s waterfront home. now for the beach. fifteen minutes from sarasota on siesta key is siesta beach, rated the best in the nation in the annual top ten list issued by stephen leatherman, aka “dr. beach,” a professor and director of the laboratory for coastal research at florida International university. here you’ll fnd a wide white expanse of pillowy-soft quartz sand that reportedly never gets hot. (It didn’t while we were there, and temps topped the 80s.) the crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming and walking along sandbars.

If you like your beaches a bit more private and are lucky enough to stay at the Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota, the toniest hotel in town, spend some time at the guestsand-members-only beach on Lido Key, three miles away via a causeway. A handy free shuttle whisks hotel guests there and back throughout the day. At the beach, there are umbrellas and chaises as well as towels and icy cold water. Of course, you can also order sips and nibbles all day long.

It’s hard to beat the Ritz for its genteel sophistication and gosh-darn friendliness. Then there’s the style: fne artwork and fresh fowers; marble-foored hallways and plush Oriental carpets; giant bathrooms and cozy balconies with views of the bay and marina. For extra pampering, try R-C’s Club Level. The exclusive Club Lounge is located on the 8th foor and features beverages, breakfast, lunch, midday snacks, hors d’oeuvres, desserts and cordials. Staffers take their jobs seriously here and do their best to ensure that you feel pampered.

For example, when Kimmy McNary discovered we were dining at the hotel restaurant Jack Dusty, she called ahead to ensure we got her favorite server. “He really is the best,” she whispered. And another staffer, Mirza Velic, produced a sought-after Scotch my friend had been hankering for.

While I rarely favor hotel restaurants, Jack Dusty was a lovely choice for one of our meals. Named with the 18th-century shorthand term for the naval store clerk responsible for doling out sailors’ daily lot of rum and maintaining the ship’s inventory of food supplies, the eatery offers guests a bevy of dining and drinking options with sparkling views of Sarasota Bay and beyond.

The menu features modern American cuisine with a seafood emphasis. For starters, there’s an array of raw bar offerings plus yummy choices like crab and fried green tomatoes with charred tomato vinaigrette; a tasty grouper cake with mango beurre blanc and fruit salad; and a sinful burrata and tomato salad, served with oven-cured tomatoes and arugula. Entrees are labeled “By Land” and “By Sea.” We had one of each: the 1855 beef tenderloin with smashed potatoes and seasonal mushrooms satisfed my meaty companion, while I loved the blackened grouper etouffee with red beans and rice and braised greens.

Make time, too, for a meal in St. Armand’s Circle at Shore Diner. Lest the name fool you, it’s not a diner at all, but an open-air, midcentury-style take on the cafes of southern California. Popular with locals and tourists alike, the restaurant is attached to the cool Shore surf shop and features dishes that take “fresh” to a whole new level, courtesy of ingredients from local growers.

Afterward, explore the circle, also developed by John Ringling. His goal was to create a waterfront area devoted to shopping, dining, browsing, strolling and eating ice cream (which we did). The same shuttle that takes you to Lido Beach runs regularly to St. Armand’s Circle.

If you’re not too tired afterward, the hotel offers complimentary kayaks and paddleboards from a launch near the pool. Or take a bicycle and explore downtown.

Was it the perfect weekend? Well, I got my fll of great beaches, culture, shopping and good food and stayed at an iconic luxury resort, so the answer is a resounding “yes.”

This page, from top: The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens boast 20,000 plants from 6,000 species; circus success is behind the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art; Siesta Beach is rated best in the U.S. Opposite page, from top: The Ritz-Carlton’s Lido Key Beach Club overlooks the Gulf of Mexico; seafood is featured at the hotel’s restaurant, Jack Dusty; a guest room at the tony Ritz-Carlton.

Fabulous fennel This aromaTic herb is a cancer fighTer— and an anTidoTe To humdrum menus.

fennel? don’t be too smug—greek and roman health practitioners beat you to it by more than two millennia. This versatile perennial plant, a member of the Umbelliferae family along with carrots, parsley and celery, has a slew of health benefts and a number of culinary uses too. it’s made up of a white or pale green bulb with hollow-stemmed stalks topped with feathery green leaves near which fowers grow and produce fennel seeds. The bulbs, stalks, leaves and seeds are all edible, but most people eat the bulb as a vegetable, while the seeds are often used for seasonings and supplements. fennel’s aromatic taste, reminiscent of licorice and anise, is a result of its natural plant compounds. fennel seeds are munched in india and Pakistan as an afterdinner breath freshener, and fennel—which feas are said to dislike—has even been used in powdered form to keep stabled horses fea-free.

POWER UP The dried ripe seeds and oil from fennel go into the making of varied medicines, while fennel itself is used as a dietary supplement to treat digestive problems (it fghts colic in babies and gas in grown-ups) and upper respiratory infections. its unique mix of phytochemicals gives it strong antioxidant activity. a study in the January 2011 Biological and Pharmacological Bulletin suggested that a compound in fennel, anethole, tends to inhibit both the invasive and the multiplicative functions of cancer cells. fennel’s also a good source of vitamin c (one

cup—just 27 calories!—has 17 percent of the daily value), which can aid the immune system, and of fber and potassium, which are great for cardiovascular health and can help remove toxins from the colon. fennel’s glycemic index (a measurement of a food’s effect on blood sugar) is also very low, making it an optimal ingredient in a healthy diet.

DID YOU KNOW? Talk about a hot history—it was with a fennel stalk that the greek god Prometheus is said to have stolen fre from the gods and given it to humankind. his fellow greeks called fennel “marathon” and gave that name to a place where it grew in abundance—and a messenger’s famous run from that place gave us our term for organized long runs today. india is by far the world’s leading fennel producer, trailed by mexico, china and iran.

BUY/STORE/SERVE fennel can be cut in a variety of sizes and shapes depending upon personal preference, but the best way to do so is to cut vertically through the bulb. You can eat fennel raw or braise or sauté it to serve as a side dish. its stalks can be used for soups, stocks and stews, the leaves as an herb seasoning. Purchase fennel from autumn to springtime, when it’s readily available at its best. good-quality fennel will have bulbs that are clean, frm and solid without signs of bruising or splitting. fresh ones will have a fragrance. store fennel in your refrigerator crisper, where it should keep fresh for four days—it loses favor over time, so be sure to eat it soon after buying. dried fennel seeds can be stored in a dry location for six months.
