FIRE-RAVAGED AREAS NEED YOUR HELP

Help the victims of the devastating Sonoma and Napa fires rebuild their homes, their businesses and their lives.

This fund, established by the Santa Rosa-based Bohemian weekly newspaper and administered by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation has no administrative overhead and will direct all proceeds to nonprofit organizations doing frontline work to get Sonoma and Napa counties back on their feet.

According to the crossfit.com website, it is “constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity….Workouts are based on functional movements, and these movements reflect the best aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing and more.”

It’s a phenomenon that Turner nearly missed experiencing.

When a work friend asked her to try it back in 2008, she almost didn’t go. She said that she lacked motivation, was out of shape, and didn’t know where to start. Like so many others, Turner was reluctant to show up on that first day.

“There’s a stigma that comes with CrossFit that it’s too intense or it’s too hard, that you have to be at a certain fitness level,” she adds.

After going that first day, though, she said that she was immediately convinced it was where she needed to be.

Now, as Cold Storage CrossFit (CSCF) coach and owner since February 2011, she believes the same for every person who walks into her gym.

In her introduction classes, Turner always asks newcomers what their goals are. Though an occasional

response will be from someone preparing for a Spartan Race, law enforcement or the military, Turner said that with Hollister demographics, she usually hears that people just want to get into better shape.

Many of her members have achieved that, and much more.

Jacqueline Fancher, a member of CSCF since its opening, has been doing CrossFit for eight years.

“It has definitely increased my endurance, flexibility, mobility, and strength,” Fancher says.

“The workouts have taught me how to move and lift properly in everyday life to avoid injury.”

Turner explained that in CrossFit, one of the phrases often used is: Routine is the enemy.

It’s this lack of routine that builds the strength and stamina in the everyday person, she says, and in her opinion, CrossFit skills transfer to real life more than any other fitness program.

“The movements that we incorporate are considered functional movements that, outside of the gym, kind of help translate to real life.” says Turner. “Push presses would help

someone in putting luggage on an airplane shelf; push ups would help someone getting off of the ground.”

They are also movements that help when members are trying to recover from injuries. Along with teaching the correct movements, the coaches address these injuries or weak areas, by walking around and giving individualized cues.

Though members are taught in group classes, Turner explained that each receives individual attention.

“Coaches make sure that you’re moving correctly and safely,” Turner says. “You’re also getting a comprehensive program that over time, will help close the gaps that are your athletic weaknesses.”

Natalie Morgan, also a member of Cold Storage CrossFit, had to deal with a number of back issues for years before beginning CrossFit. “After learning and being coached on posture, my sciatica has gotten a lot better, along with all my other back pain,” says Morgan. “I’m able to do things that I never thought I could do.”

CrossFit also continues to be a fitness program that many first

responders or those in the military trust to get them ready for their job.

Turner says that first responders and those in the military never know what the day is going to bring.

Hollister Police Chief David Westrick can attest to that, saying that his job often requires him to be on his feet for hours, with a lot of walking and running.

“I used to come home exhausted and sore,” says Westrick. “I’d typically stay sore most of a week. With CrossFit, it’s nothing. I’m right back in it with no real soreness or need for day off or two.”

Turner’s 600-square foot gym not only supports its members’ physical goals, but it also supports the life-needs of its members.

She allows unlimited classes and open gym access for her members, and calls her gym family friendly. She often tells moms and dads to bring their kids, and has created a lobby with enough comfortable seating for kids to sit and relax, books to read or color and has bathrooms nearby.

Turner has nurtured this community by forming teams for the Red Ribbon 5K this month, gym workouts for the holidays or celebrating the gym’s anniversary with competitions among members, just to name a few.

Many members of the gym have also attributed their success to the Cold Storage CrossFit coaches and community of members.

Morgan says the Cold Storage CrossFit community has made a difference to her.

“I feel like I fit in and everyone makes me feel so welcomed and comfortable,” she says.

Fancher agrees, saying that the atmosphere at the gym is friendly, supportive and fun.

“Everyday at CSCF is different than the day before and the workouts are designed by knowledgeable coaches,” she adds.

Turner says the transformations she sees in members go beyond physical.

“I hear stories like, I never used to be able to play with my kids, now I can,” she says.

“Lifelong friendships are made here,” says Turner. “The community vibe—you just don’t find it in any other gym. We’re just accepting and welcoming of any fitness level and any personality.”

Flavorful new wines at Sarah’s Vineyard

n one of the last summer weekends of the season I popped into Sarah’s Vineyard to sample the latest releases. The tasting room was bustling, while live music was entertaining picnickers outside on the patio.

With the warm weather outside, general manager Steve Howard suggested I try the 2016 Vin Gris ($22)—a dry rose made from Sarah’s estate pinot noir. Tim Slater, the winemaker, aged the wine in neutral French oak before coaxing out subtle flavors of tea rose, sage and watermelon.

Served well-chilled, it is a refreshing wine perfect with light salads and seafood.

With effusive pride, Howard pointed out the recently unveiled 2014 Reserve Pinot Noir ($60)

which earned 93 points from Wine Enthusiast magazine.

Elegant and reserved, this pinot noir is delicate but very flavorful.

Take your time swirling and enjoying the beautiful aromas of lavender and violet wafting from the glass and ready for your first sip—you will taste plump blackberries and purple plum ending in a smooth, herbal finish.

Versatile enough to enjoy as an aperitif or with roasted pheasant surrounded by potatoes dauphinoise and a wild mushroom dressing.

Rounding out my tasting was the 2013 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ($50), an estate wine which spent two years maturing in French oak. Sweet cherry, dark chocolate and coffee notes on the nose and palate—this wine is meant for a filet mignon or an aged cheddar.

San Benito Stage Company’s Teen Musical, “All Shook Up”

By JENNY ARBIZU

I

t’s not unheard of for a biker to invade a small town— it’s actually been a headline for the city of Hollister.

So it shouldn’t be a surprise to hear that downtown Hollister is preparing, once again, to be taken over by another wild one: San Benito Stage Company’s teen musical, “All Shook Up.” Opening on Friday, Oct. 27, and running for three weekends, the musical features the songs of Elvis Presley. It is based on William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and is set in the 1950s American Midwest.

The show is directed by brother-and-sister team Aaron Hernandez and Angela (Jula) Prak, and

is co-produced by Brian Murphy and Camille Blevins. Musical numbers were choreographed by Raeann Collison and vocal direction was also done by Prak.

In the story, lead character Natalie (Betsy Molchan) falls for the leather-jacket bearing roustabout, Chad (Roberto Nolasco).

Her chances with him are slim, though, because Natalie is a tomboyish mechanic. Her chances become even slimmer when Chad falls for Miss Sandra (Marie Miskin), the caretaker of the town’s museum. But with the help of Natalie’s friend, Dennis (Jonathan Arciniega), who is secretly in love with Natalie, a wild scheme

develops for her to gain Chad’s interest.

Wild love stories then ensue. It is a comedy of errors, with four love stories weaving in, out and around one another. But each story ultimately finds its rightful owner.

The show also ties in political issues of that era, such as race and socioeconomic status.

With a cast that ranges from 13- to 19-year-olds, audiences will enjoy hearing such popular Elvis songs as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “A Little Less Conversation,” and “It’s Now or Never.” Scenes with “Jailhouse Rock” and “Blue Suede Shoes” give audiences a great treat with the scenery and dance numbers. Lesser known ballads of Presley’s, such as “There’s Always Me” and “Fools in Love,” even find a place in tender storylines.

Perhaps the most poignant part of the show is the touching rendition of “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” sung by the cast at two different times in the show.

Murphy said this cast is more than ready to deliver a great show on opening night. He said rehearsals have gone extremely well, largely in part to the relationships of Prak and Hernandez with the cast.

“We’ve had shows where we’ve been worried about opening night.

With this show, we’re having really good runs of it weeks before. By the time we get to opening night, we’re gonna have a really solid production,” he said.

Blevins also is excited about the audience reaction.

“I think the audience is going to love the music; they’re going to know what the music is. It’s got some great lines in it and I think they’re just going to laugh,” she said.

Performances for “All Shook Up” run through Nov. 11. Tickets are available at Postal Graphics, 831.636.3787, and at brownpapertickets.com. For more information, visit sanbenitostage.org.

id you know that the fastest growing segment of our population is people over the age of 100? The latest census figures show that the United States and Japan have the most people in that age group. Except for Willard Scott’s greetings to centenarians on their birthdays, it used to be rare to hear about these super-senior citizens.

Advances in health and nutrition have turned the tide.

At Live Oak Adult Day Services, we have had quite a few seniors

over the years who have celebrated their 100th birthday, and beyond.

Nora was 100 the day she walked into the center wearing a long velvet evening gown over her pajamas.

She made quite an entrance, as you might imagine. She had a fun-loving personality and attributed her long life to laughter.

Anne made it to 102 years old.

She was born in 1912—the day the Titanic set sail. Anne always added four teaspoons of sugar to her coffee, and asked for salt with every meal, so we decided that her secret to longevity was lots of sugar and salt.

Frannie celebrated her 100th birthday here with a visit from the mayor, a longtime family friend.

Her family also attended the celebration, bringing a cake that must have had seven layers. We still talk about that cake.

Now, Maxine is about to be 99 years old, and we decided that a party is definitely in order. Why make her wait until she is 100?

When reminded that her 99th birthday is approaching, Maxine giggles, “Well, then I had better get a little respect around here!” She is requesting a chocolate cake, but we had a big laugh when I told her we cannot add 99 candles, or the smoke detectors and overhead sprinklers would turn on. Maxine says her plan is to live to be 110 years old, as long as she can continue to indulge in a little alcohol, “just enough to keep up my spirits.”

The other seniors here feel they would like to reach the age of 100, or even beyond, as long as they are healthy. That is the one caveat to such a long life. No one wants to be ill or bedridden for a decade or two.

What are the challenges families face as their loved ones are more and more likely to reach such advanced ages? Finances can run low. Savings may be depleted paying for health care needs, assisted living and nursing home costs.

While not all seniors end up in a nursing home or assisted living center, will there be enough high-quality, affordable facilities available to serve this burgeoning population?

There is also the now-common situation of an 80-year old senior caring for a 98 or 100 year old parent. The “child” may not be especially healthy or energetic enough to be a caregiver for such a frail parent. Lots to think about.

In the meantime, stock up on the birthday candles and enough alcohol to keep up your spirits.

GETTING OUT

Stunning summit

relationship with Mt. Umunhum, so familiar yet beyond reach. The iconic radar tower is always with us, visible from nearly everywhere in the valley, but for 200 years the 3,486-foot mountaintop has been off limits to us. No longer. Restoration completed, in September the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District opened Mt. Umunhum to the public.

Whether you come from San Jose or through New Almaden, Hicks Road eventually meets Mt. Umunhum Road. Hang on tight.

It is a steep and winding 5 ½-mile, 2,000-foot climb to the summit.

About a mile before the peak, the road levels out as it traverses the

OCTOBER OCTOBER20, 6, 2017

ost beloved landmarks have an air of aesthetic elegance that endears them to us.

Most, but not all. The massive radar tower atop Mt. Umunhum that has looked out over the Santa Clara Valley since 1957 gets no style points, but this sterile concrete obelisk is loved nonetheless. When the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District’s initial plans for restoring the mountaintop included removal of the tower, the enormous public outcry turned the tide. The tower would stay.

Until recently, Santa Clara Valley residents have had a strange

summit ridge. The views of Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay are stunning. Oddly, the radar tower, so close, remains hidden behind an intervening ridge.

Even at the visitor parking area, the mountain’s last looming bulge conceals the radar tower. After a 150-stair step climb, suddenly, there it all is. The tower and the amazing views across the entire bay area compete for your attention.

The first signpost on the west summit guided me through the sights below: Santa Cruz, the San Francisco skyline, Silicon Valley, and all three of the high mountains that surround the bay: Mt. Tamalpais, Mt. Diablo and Mt. Hamilton. In perfect conditions, one can see the Sierra Nevada.

A short distance farther down the path is a ceremonial circle built

by MidPen at the request of the local Ohlone people. Umunhum is the root word for hummingbird in five Ohlone languages. The mountain is sacred to Native Americans and is the site of the creation story for the Amah Mutsun people. Here they can dance and pray close to their creator.

Over to the cantilever deck and the East Summit, the views are vast and ever-changing. From every angle, we touched and inspected the radar tower that had always been so far away. It is the last remnant of Almaden Air Force Station that protected us from Cold War threats from 1957 to 1980.

Halfway down Mt. Umunhum Road, across from the Bald Mountain parking area, is the trailhead for the Mt. Umunhum Trail, a 3.5-mile multi-use trail that climbs 1,150 feet through chaparral and a cool canopy of trees and to the summit.

Wait for one of those crystalline days to visit this unsurpassed perch. Be sure to download MidPen’s free Mt. Umunhum audio tour app before you go for a better understanding of the mountain’s natural and human history.

How did you discover your love of real estate?

In 2006 I found myself at a crossroads in my personal and professional life and decided to take the real estate exam. Real estate is in my blood. Both of my parents were brokers in the industry. My mother helped me with my initial training as an agent practicing real estate in Mexico.

I quickly discovered that I love the challenge and adventure that

each transaction brings. There is never a dull moment! I love delivering keys to my buyers and helping them accomplish their homeownership dreams.

What special markets do you highlight?

Seeing Dreams Come True...

I started a career in Real Estate so I could help people make their dreams of owning a home come true. Owning your own home is one of everyone’s biggest dreams! And I get enjoyment out of seeing dreams come true. I have been working in Real Estate since 2003, making deals throughout California.

I like working with sellers because they are moving on to another adventure in their future of home buying – either upgrading or down�sizing. I like working with buyers because I like to see their reactions to the houses we look at. I also like the fulfillment of making their dream of owning a home come true.

The most important thing I do for my clients is making myself available at all times – 7 days a week – morning, afternoon and evening.
