wo thousand sixteen!? Can you believe it’s been 16 years since the millennium? It’s hard to even wrap my brain around the fact that it’s been that long since my college years. It feels like just yesterday. Wait, did I really just say that? My AARP membership card should be in the mail today.

In all seriousness, as I grow older, and I would like to think wiser (wink wink), I seem to consistently conclude “Make it a that all elements in our rule of life lives are unavoidably never to connected and always regret and in need of balance. never to Time with family, look back. volunteerism, finances, Regret is an social media, exercise, appalling waste of diet, wine drinking… energy; and the list goes on you can’t for what I “should” be build on keeping in check. Since it—it’s only I am not so good at good for compartmentalizing my wallowing life and taking breaks in in.” each area when needed, —Katherine I steady my pendulum Mansfield by not focusing on what I’m doing, but rather on the level of benefit I reap from however I choose to spend my time. Maybe I “should” go to the gym as planned, but instead I take a detour to my favorite happy hour spot for a good glass of red wine and laughter with a gal pal. Should I feel bad about this deviation? Nah. Not in 2016! My advice this year is to liberate yourself by taking some of the “shoulds” out of your vocabulary.

Feeling guilty isn’t good for the soul, so I’ve heard.

For expert-approved suggestions to secure “head-to-toe happiness,” flip to Megan Wiskus’ 30-plus tips for invigorating the mind, body and soul—all gleaned from local health and wellness professionals.

For many new years to come, “do or do not, there is no try.” Thank you Yoda for your wisdom, and thank you Style readers for your continued support of our local community.

Happy 2016!

asktheexperts Q: What is ice wine?

A:

Ice wine is a type of dessert wine that’s produced from grapes that have been frozen prior to fermentation. The water within the grapes freeze while the sugars, acids and fruit essences do not, allowing a highly concentrated juice that must be physically pressed from the grape. The wine has a deep golden hue with intensely sweet but pristine fruit profiles and bright acidity while retaining good structure and balance. At its best, ice wine is like liquid gold that is silky with elegant flavors and a lingering texture. Ice wine is a wonderful pairing for cheeses, pâtes, crème brûlée and many other fruit-based desserts.

Q:

Are there any natural pain relief treatments for dogs suffering from arthritis?

A: With regards to natural pain therapies for pets, there are numerous alternative treatment options to manage the inflammation and pain associated with arthritis. Acupuncture and herbal formulations are good Eastern medicine approaches. Nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, food therapy and Adequan injections are additional remedies that help control these degenerative processes, while laser therapy and essential oils round out the holistic methods. Every patient is different and the options above can be used alone or in combination to improve the quality of life for arthritic pets. The most severe cases may require a mixture of Western, Eastern and holistic therapies.

continues to look back on the experience as his crowning athletic achievement.

When Roxburgh was given the opportunity to open a Fleet Feet Sports franchise in Fair Oaks, it seemed the perfect way to combine his business acumen and his love of sports. Since opening the store over three decades ago, he’s worked hard to get people off the couch and moving. He founded both the Tri for Fun Sprint Triathlon Series and the American River 50-Mile Endurance Run, as a way to help make endurance sports fun and accessible to the general public. He also sponsors training programs for new runners.

“To see somebody do something they never thought they could do is pretty rewarding,” he shares.

olsom resident Will Roxburgh’s passion for health and fitness started when he was a young boy growing up in Sacramento. Every day after school, he’d play outside with his three brothers and other neighborhood kids—swimming, biking and participating in other sports. Although he went on to complete a degree in business administration, he continued to pursue his interest in athletics—competing in numerous marathons, triathlons and the Western States Endurance Run in 1991, a grueling, 100-mile run from Squaw Valley to Auburn.

“It was awesome,” he recalls. “We were running in the middle of the night. There was such quiet. I got to experience things that I never would have otherwise.” Roxburgh finished the run in 48 hours and 50 minutes and

Windplay Deli

T

he Santa Barbara at Windplay Deli is just one of many delightful sandwiches that keep folks returning to this workday gem in El Dorado Hills.

Along with turkey, avocado and sprouts on whole wheat bread, mine had “everything on top,” which included lettuce, mayo, mustard, pickles, tomatoes and red onions. Needless to say, my sandwich had a myriad of flavors and textures, while still managing to stay light and fresh, allowing my taste buds to take a trip down the coast and linger there for the rest of the day. Accompanying my experience was the endless chatter of returning customers, two of whom asked for “the usual” and another who loudly proclaimed his sandwich to be “the best I’ve ever had,” convincing me that this deli is a wellkept secret that’s hidden among the hills. With friendly service, picturesque views and a sub for every want or need, Windplay Deli can please just about every kind of sandwich-eater…it most definitely pleased me! Windplay Deli, 5003 Windplay Drive, Suite 1, El Dorado Hills, 916-933-9099.

JANUARY 2-3 HOLIDAY TREE RECYCLING AND CHIPPING This free, CSD/Waste Connections-sponsored event takes place at the Community Park. Cash donations will be accepted and benefit the Community Supporting Youth Fund. To prepare your tree, remove everything from it including all ornaments, lights, ornament holders, nails and the stand. Trees that are “flocked” aren’t eligible for chipping. Discarded wreaths, garlands and greenery with metal, plastic, wire, lights or ornamentation aren’t considered green waste; place them in your trash cart.

Travel with Distinction

Residents have a choice of: A) Bringing their own trees to the Community Park either day B) Utilizing the Boy Scout’s curbside tree collection fund-raiser on Saturday C) Cutting the tree into small pieces and placing in the green waste cart (making sure it’s not so packed in that it will get stuck in the cart when being emptied) for green waste collection week

Your skin doesn’t forget. Let us help you protect it.

Sun damage is cumulative over one’s lifetime, and too much sun can cause skin cancer – the number one most common cancer in the world.

The incidence of melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, more than doubled in women from 1973 to 2004, and nearly doubled for men. The Skin Cancer Foundation suggests the following: - Do not burn and seek the shade, especially 10am-4pm - Avoid tanning and UV tanning booths - Cover up with clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses - Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher - Apply 1 ounce (2 tbsp) of sunscreen to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside; reapply every two hours or after swimming or excessive sweating - Keep newborns out of the sun; sunscreens should be used on babies over the age of six months - Examine your skin head-to-toe every month and see your doctor every year for a professional skin exam

Years later, after retiring from his career as a building contractor and electrical design engineer, Kurimay returned to these artistic roots. Now—along with his wife of 50 years, Cheryl—the artist crafts gorgeous, one-of-a-kind wooden pens at his shop in historic Folsom. “I modify my pen-making machinery and finishing processes to create pens of quality and dependability for daily use,” says Kurimay. You can view the artist’s work at the Folsom Arts Association’s Unexpected Visions exhibit at the Gallery at 48 Natoma through January 7.

e all know how important it is for kids to have excellent reflexes and coordination, for them to burn off energy and build strong muscles and bones, but let’s face it: During the winter months we’re more concerned about the burning off energy part. Parents want to be jolly, not driven mad. Turns out, getting your kids off the couch (whether they’re lazing on it or running across it) and out into the great wide world of indoor fun is good for their mental sanity, too. So, get them out on a Thursday night, a Saturday morning, or (if we’re talking toddlers) a Wednesday at 10 a.m.—whatever it takes to add more sweat and less marshmallows to those winter traditions.

folsom police explorer program Law Enforcement and Life Lessons

W

ill Randall has always had an interest in law enforcement and hopes, one day, to parlay that interest into a job as a police officer. “It’s a service-oriented career,” Randall says. “I feel I have a mission to help and protect people, and law enforcement is one of the best careers to do that.”

Randall, 19, is a student at a local community college and also entering his fourth year in the Folsom Police Department’s Explorer program, which launched in 2012 and is open to men and women aged 1420 who are not only interested in learning more about law enforcement, but also want to learn important life skills. The program’s roots are in the Boy Scouts, which helped create a national model for connecting young people to education, training and community service through their local police and sheriff’s departments.

“In addition to the law enforcement curriculum, we give them tools they can apply to any career,” says Detective Chad Friedrich, who oversees the Explorer program for the Folsom Police Department. “We teach them 30 stylefedh.com - January 2016

L to R: Adam Hillman, Andrew Elam, Chad Friedrich and Alec Stout

about interviewing for a job, how to dress, how to research a job opportunity, how to resolve conflicts and self-discipline.” Make no mistake, however: Explorers also learn a great deal about being a peace officer.

Course instruction covers handcuffing and self-defense, law and the Penal Code, traffic control, crime scene investigation, dispatch and crowd control. Explorers also go on ridealongs and assist at DUI checkpoints. “They learn to do everything we do,” Friedrich says.

“And one of the best ways the community can support this program is to utilize it.”

To that end, he means the Explorers are like an auxiliary to the Folsom Police Department itself. Local event organizers can involve the Explorers in traffic control, first aid, serving as extra sets of eyes and ears for police and fire departments, and handing out information. They’re not sworn officers, so actual enforcement and arrests are still left to the professionals, but as the slogan promises, they’re here to serve. Given that each Explorer

must commit to a minimum of 16 hours of volunteer work per month, Friedrich really wants the community to take them up on it.

The application process is always open, and participants can join at any time. In addition to the age and volunteer hour requirements, Explorers also must be in good health, live within city limits, maintain a 2.0 GPA, have a clean criminal record and pass an oral interview and drug test. There is no cost to join the program.

“The biggest thing for me has been seeing how law enforcement really functions,” Randall says. “You see it from the other side, so if you’re ever dealing with an officer or seeing something in the media, you have a better understanding of what’s going on. It’s been eye-opening to learn why and how officers do what they do.”

love rules 5 Relationship Goals for 2016

by Bob Parkins, LMFT

W

hile New Year’s resolutions are still fresh in our minds, it might be a good time to add, “addressing your love life” to that list. With a little bit of planning—and following the 5 tips below—your relationship is sure to see sparks fly in 2016.

1 / Forgive old issues (again, and again).

2 / Give more than you take.

Healthy relationships don’t keep a record of wrongs, thus couples are cautioned against scorekeeping. Albeit sound advice, merely not doing something negative is somewhat of a passive approach; instead, actively strive to give more to your relationship than you take. Research supports this idea by showing that those who focus more energy on giving to others rather than on their own happiness are in fact happier. In other words, give more of yourself.

3 / Hang in there just a little longer.

Whether you tend to lean toward fight or flight when things get rough, make a point to calmly stay in the conversation a little bit longer. With practice, you’ll increase your ability to contain negative emotions and work through them together in a healthy and respectful way 32 stylefedh.com - January 2016

that benefits the relationship. This works for those with a fear of intimacy, too! If you tend to pull away when things get emotionally close, hanging in there a little longer helps to increase your ability to enjoy closeness and strengthen your relationship.

4 / Take time out together.

Just like plants need water to grow, relationships need time. When relationships are new, they’re exciting and easy to invest time into; but once the honeymoon is over and routine sets in, jobs, kids and other responsibilities compete for the connection that used to come easy. After years of neglect, couples will drift apart, eventually becoming very different people. Anniversary trips and grand getaways are great, but lasting connectedness grows from consistent time spent together throughout the week. Once-aweek date nights can be a good start for severely disconnected couples, but daily connection time is even better. Sacrifice TV time for each other, and be intentional about how you spend your time.

5 / Listen smaller, listen deeper.

Feeling seen, heard and understood is important to close relationships. Make your partner feel important to you by listening for the little things they care about and ask about them. Listening smaller makes gift-giving easier too, because you’re paying attention to the little things that may not be important to you, but will make the other person happy. When you’re listening deeper, you’re listening for the message behind the message— the themes—and how your partner feels underneath the content of discussion or conflict. This is not to be confused with jumping to conclusions fueled by your own feelings, but rather listening for your partner’s emotional experience.

Not being able to forgive is extremely toxic. Old issues have a way of coming up again and again, poisoning relationships with resentment and entitlement. When wronged, we often feel it’s our right to hold this against those who hurt us. However, as long as unforgiveness is allowed to remain, relationships can’t heal from the past or move forward. Deciding to forgive your partner doesn’t guarantee you’ll never feel triggered or experience negative feelings, but every time you choose not to hold it against him/her, you loosen the grip of the past, freeing yourself to love.

T

he saying “new year, new me” doesn’t have to apply just to your personal or professional life—it can also mean a change for your home.

Whether you’re in the market for a new couch or have been flirting with the idea of a new color palette, change is good, and 2016 is the perfect time to set your plans in motion. We’ve come up with our top five New Year’s resolutions, all tailored to the needs of your home.

for key pieces like kitchen islands and entryway consoles that have high-gloss countertops, or upholstered pieces in light linen, cozy cotton or calming cashmere blends.

5 / Curated Caravan

3 / Vibrantly Vivid

1 / Organically Outdoor While it might be a little cold to host an outside soiree this month, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about extending your interior to the outdoors. In 2016, we foresee a jump in outdoor entertaining with the help of great exterior kitchen options and a boom in modern finishes, subtle color palettes and natural elements.

2 / Totally Transparent With the segue of health, happiness and design, clean and comforting materials have become a major trend. Sinuous fabrics, metallic finishes and free-flowing design combine to create a restful and rejuvenating atmosphere to unwind after a long week. Utilize this craze by opting 34 stylefedh.com - January 2016

balance. Incorporate this trend into your home’s design by adding a coffee table with a circular base to your living room or patterned wallpaper on an accent wall.

While we’re all about soothing color palettes and free-flowing floor plans, a touch of brightness is always encouraged. This coming year, we can’t wait to see splashes of yellow and infusions of blue in living rooms, bathrooms and entryways. Adopt this trend by adding brightly colored lacquer to your kitchen cabinets (indoor or outdoor), or an effervescent wallpaper to your powder room.

This trend—full of fanciful patterns, splashes of color and attention-grabbing textures—appeals to the eclectic decorator or bright-and-bold homeowner, but can be adjusted to fit every interior style. This design trend coincides with the worldwide trend of globalization and appreciating cultural differences. A great starting point in utilizing the “Curated Caravan” look is by mixing and matching wood and metal to create a lively, boho outdoor patio or bar area. If you’d like to add simpler elements, consider an intricately patterned throw blanket or set of pillows in bold jewel tones.

4 / Concentric Circles

Aside from fun festivities, January is a great time to lay out your goals, projects and resolutions, especially when it comes to home decorating or renovating. With these trends in your back pocket, you’ll be able to start that long-awaited home project in no time!

Enjoy the ebb and flow of simple design by considering the circular trend of 2016. While circular patterns and arrangements are a constant in the design world, this specific trend recreates the wheel using fluid fixtures and innovative product design. With the same concept of “Totally Transparent” (see left), circular patterns promote health and well-being through soft continuation and aesthetic

FOR HEAD-TO-TOE HAPPINESS

COMPILED BY MEGAN WISKUS

We all know achieving whole-body happiness and making it last isn’t always easy. Thankfully, local health and wellness experts stepped in to help with their top tips for creating mind-bodysoul contentment on a daily basis.

January 2016 - stylefedh.com 37

FOR THE MIND “Eat chocolate—be happy! Antioxidants in dark chocolate, called polyphenols, help reduce stress. Phenylethylamine, also found in chocolate, produces endorphins in the brain’s ‘feel good’ molecules, giving you a slight euphoric sensation. If you were looking for another reason to eat chocolate, it has been suggested that eating moderate amounts of 70 percent dark chocolate reduces your risk of heart disease.”—Jeremy M., Whole

“Grab a chunk of

Parmigiano-Reggiano and a glass of full-bodied red wine. Not only is this a tasty combo, but the alcohol relaxes you and the tyrosine crystals in the cheese may reduce stress hormone levels.”—Jeremy M., Whole Foods Market

• What is the one thing you must accomplish on your to-do list to ease your stress?

• What one thing will you do today to honor your health and fitness (i.e., clean eating, workout, yoga class, etc.).”—Jaime Hodges, head trainer at Orangetheory Fitness Folsom 38 stylefedh.com - January 2016

“Be careful with comparisons. Social media can be a comparison trap so proceed with caution!”—Mandi Oliphant, licensed marriage and family therapist and registered art therapist

“Meditation helps recreate the physiological response to stress in a more conscious manner. Simple meditation twice a

day will help settle the mind and manage stress on a daily basis.”—Manas

Kshirsagar, ayurvedic practitioner

“Focusing on what you appreciate in life helps increase happiness. Get a notebook, and at the end of each day write down five things you were grateful for that day. Review your lists week to week and notice the change in your overall positivity.”—Cheryl Mattox, LMFT “Be mindful. Notice what’s around you, appreciate your senses, and breathe in each moment—memories

Tackling tight muscles before bed allows the body to stay flexible during sleep when gravity and excessive movement won’t threaten to re-tighten muscle. This can also contribute to a more restful and satisfying sleep.”—Rob Kram, fitness director at

“Drink your water. If you’re only two percent dehydrated, you’ll burn 30 percent less calories—not just while working out but all day long! Rule of thumb: 40 ounces of water by noon and 40 by 6 p.m.”—Lorri Ann Code, AFAA certified personal trainer, primary group exercise trainer and author

“Sipping warm water throughout the day helps the body re-hydrate and assimilate much faster than cold water!”— Manas Kshirsagar, ayurvedic practitioner

“Stop working through your lunch. Most people have very busy lives, and it’s so important to make the most of the time you have. Studies show that consistent, shorter workouts daily (as opposed to one or two hours on the weekend) are much more effective! Try this express workout, which only takes 15 to 20 minutes: plank 60 seconds, 30 squats, 20 push-ups, 30 lunges, 20 dips.

Run through this two to three times per week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) and walk for 30 minutes over your lunch breaks (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Bam! All done and you come back refreshed and energized to tackle your afternoon

“Don’t skip breakfast. Sumo wrestlers skip meals and wait four to six hours between meals, which makes your body eat away at lean muscle (aka ‘your calorie burning engine’) and store more fat. Starting your day with breakfast kicks off your day with energy and literally ‘breaks the fast.’”—Lorri Ann Code, AFAA certified personal trainer and group trainer, owner of Mama Bootcamp, Inc., and author of ‘52 Ways to Find Your Mojo: A Guide to Transformation, Inspiration, and Fitness’

FOR THE SOUL “Thank you cards are a good-feeling game changer! I was raised to write thank you notes for birthday presents, Christmas presents and everything in-between.

They’re great for nice gestures, job interviews or any thoughtful act that makes you smile. Taking a moment here and there to think about what (and who) you’re grateful for creates a positive environment around you and is a way for you to shine a positive light in someone’s day. Keep a stack handy and find one

person every week to give a thank you card to. It takes only a minute, and brings many positive things not just to the person you give it to, but also to yourself.”—Dr. Karla Alberts, ND

Toft Facial Plastic Surgery Kenneth M. Toft, M.D. 959 Reserve Dr. | Roseville 916-782-8638 | www.toftfacialsurgery.com Kenneth M. Toft, M.D. is the Director of Toft Facial Plastic Surgery in Roseville, California. He dedicates 100% of his practice to facial cosmetic surgery. This is in contrast to many surgeons that perform liposuction and breast augmentation, who can spend as little as 20% of their time on the face.

Complete dedication to facial plastic surgery is very important for several reasons: the complex anatomy of the face, the need to keep up with the latest techniques of facial rejuvenation, and the importance of facial features in defining individuality. The results of facial plastic surgery are not hidden under clothes; they are seen every day by friends in public and by oneself in the mirror. For these reasons, only the most specialized and highly trained facial plastic surgeon should be selected.

Throughout his career Dr. Toft has demonstrated a commitment to excellence. Dr. Toft graduated from college in the top 3% and medical school in the top 10% of his class at the University of Michigan. He then underwent surgical training at Stanford University, with four years

50 stylefedh.com - January 2016

completely focused on the face and neck. Dr. Toft was then selected to be a UCLA Clinical Instructor in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery where he studied with world experts in cosmetic surgery. In 2000, Dr. Toft moved to the Sacramento area to become the Medical Director of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Mercy San Juan and to open the Toft Facial Plastic Surgery Center.

Dr. Toft believes the goal of cosmetic surgery is to create improvement while maintaining a natural and balanced appearance.

This natural appearance is achieved through the use of modern techniques to make his patients look younger, refreshed, and healthy, never overdone or “operated.” The natural balance of facial features is what creates identity, displays emotion, and establishes level of health. Because each face is different, the goals of surgery for each person is individualized. Dr. Toft draws on his extensive training, aesthetic sense, and personal touch to achieve better balance and improved symmetry for all of his patients’ unique facial features.

During our last dine at Early Toast, we chowed down on five different dishes: a massive blueberry Belgian waffle for my nephew, perfectly golden on the outside and served with plenty of maple syrup; a classic American assortment of fluffy scrambled eggs, crisp and succulent bacon, juicy chicken-apple sausage and pan-fried hash browns for me; a “Perfecto” omelet for Pops, which featured three fluffy eggs packed with bacon, baby spinach, mushrooms, onions, jack cheese and cream cheese; a “Folsom-style” omelet for Mom with cheese, sausage, bacon, ham, bell peppers, onions and mushrooms, topped with sour cream, tomatoes and chives; and a country benedict for my brother, a hybrid dish that paired biscuits

ne of the more impressive inventions by human beings in the last few millennia, in my humble opinion, is breakfast.

taste ARROZ CON POLLO NIKKEI NIKKEI: Japanese Food the South American Way by Luiz Hara.

Photographs by Lisa Linder.

(Jacqui Small LLP, an imprint of Quarto Publishing Group, 2015, $35)

Wash the rice in a bowl with plenty of fresh water using a circular motion with your hand. Drain the water and repeat three or four times until the water runs clear. Then, transfer the rice to a sieve (strainer) and let it drain for 15 minutes.

Prepare the broth by combining the beer, dashi powder, mirin, light soy sauce and salt in a pan; mix well and set aside.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the skins from the chicken thighs. Scrape off any excess fat and feathers from the skins with a knife.

Stretch the skins out on a flat baking tray (baking sheet) in a single layer.

Place a smaller metal tray, such as a roasting tin (pan), on top of them to keep them flat while roasting.

Roast for 10–12 minutes until crisp and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.

Meanwhile, cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces (they will shrink during cooking so don’t cut them too small) and chill until needed. Wipe the shiitake mushrooms, remove the woody stems

dinner date Food and Wine for the Season and slice the caps. Add the sliced shiso or chopped coriander (cilantro) to the cooking broth and mix well.

Rice cooker method: Add the drained rice to the cooking broth, transfer to the rice cooker and top with the pieces of chicken and the slices of mushroom and garlic (do not stir at this stage), close the rice cooker lid and turn on. It should take about 15–20 minutes to cook. Once the rice cooker’s alarm beeps, let the rice sit for at least 15 minutes before opening.

Hob (stove) method: Choose a pan with a tightly fitting lid (preferably of glass). Add the drained rice and the cooking broth, top with all the other ingredients, place the lid on and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils (do not remove the lid at any stage during cooking or resting), turn the heat to its lowest setting and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the rice rest for a further 15 minutes.

While the chicken and rice is cooking, cut up the crispy chicken skin into 1/2- to 1/4-inch squares. Then, stir half of the squares into the rice, mixing well, and scatter the remainder on top with the finely sliced spring onions (scallions). Serve immediately. Makes 4-6 servings.

BALLAST POINT BREWING COMPANY’S LONGFIN LAGER Award-winning San Diego-based brewery (and distillery) Ballast Point was founded in 1996 by Jack White and is the nation’s 31st largest craft brewer and one of the fastest growing. Known for their Sculpin, a gold-medal winning IPA, the brewery also produces a hoppy American stout (The Commodore), session IPA (Even Keel) and an imperial red ale (Tongue Buckler), among numerous other eclectic brews—many named after fish or fish terms—and 14 spirits.

Ballast Point Brewing Company’s Longfin Lager is a light-bodied, 4.5-percent ABV, German-style beer that’s a perfect complement to the Asian-inspired flavors in this month’s Arroz Con Pollo Nikkei recipe; the earthy flavor of the shitake mushrooms and mirin (rice wine) play well with the beer’s clean, dry finish that boasts just a hint of hops.

NOTE: I chose to prepare the dish in a rice cooker, and following the recipe couldn’t have been easier. It’s an ideal mid-week meal if you’re looking for something light and quick. Enjoy it on a cold night, in a warm house, and with good friends. Use less rice than it calls for so you’ll have a delicious broth with your rice.

ARIA COLLEGE PLANNING El Dorado Hills 916-934-4180 ariacollegeplanning.com mail@ariacollegeplanning.com

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

Arthur Murray has been teaching the world to partner dance for 103 years, and I was lucky enough that it found me in my college years.

How are you involved with both the community and your customer?

From five- to 95-year-olds, and singles to couples, anyone can enjoy the benefits of dancing at all stages in life. Seeing people gain confidence on the floor and express themselves while having fun doing something active, or watching couples fall in love again through dancing, is so rewarding. Dancing is a timeless skill that doesn’t go out of style. We take something two people learn together out socially into the community, and it creates a whole different set of culture. We are excited to have Folsom dancing together.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

Our team of dance professionals is not only comprised of trained dancers but also trained teachers. It takes a teacher’s heart and mind to cultivate an environment that’s fun, safe and inspiring to learn to dance in. Each of the professionals has their own personality, which adds to the dynamic of the studio community.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

I’m most proud to be a franchisee of the longest running and best dance organization in the world, Arthur Murray, and to have opened the establishment in a city that celebrates art and active community.

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

I’m Christian and a believer that God listens to prayers. When the going gets tough, it’s amazing how much comfort a prayer can give.

What’s your favorite local event that you go to?

Apple Hill is always a great place to go. I love the apple donuts!

And finally, customer service is…?

Taking pride in having and working hard to have the highest caliber of service, professionalism and integrity a business can offer.

Photos by Dante Fontana.

Answers by Alex Bennett.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

Aria guides high school students into their perfect college. We assist from start to finish—from SAT/ACT prep and essay writing to finding scholarship money and making the final decision. Unique to Aria is our proprietary college database—custom software that can search among thousands of colleges to find the perfect fit for prospective students. While working as a tutor with Chris’ other company (Tutoring Rocks), he and I decided that if we wanted to work together long into the future, we were going to start a college planning company.

How are you involved with both the community and your customer?

Our true purpose is to ensure that students attend the absolute perfect college for them. Because of the thousands of schools out there, we do everything we can to set students up for success. We also plan to host College Information Nights where parents and students of all ages can come and learn more about the college application process for free. We want the community to be educated about what it takes to get into college!

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

I’m most proud of Aria’s first successful year! My heart skipped a beat every time one of my students texted me letting me know that they had received another acceptance letter. When all was said and done—and Aria helped 10 students receive over 40 acceptance letters and over $500,000 in scholarships—I knew we had done something noteworthy.

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

I think I eat at Sizzling Fresh Mongolian BBQ a minimum of three times per week.

And finally, customer service is…?

The cornerstone of Aria College Planning.

free birds Letting Children Go As They Grow

I

consider 2016 the first full year that none of our three kids will truly need their mom or me anymore. Oh sure, the Bank of Mom and Dad isn’t going anywhere, and they’ll still need us around for advice, guidance and hopefully just because they like us. But as far as being absolutely necessary in a keep -your-but ta live -a n oth e r- d ay kind of way? Those days are gone.

Our oldest, Emma, has sur vive d in Los Angeles now for five years—the equivalent of a baby moose finally growing too big to be easily eaten by bears .

Our middle child, Joe, graduated high school last year and is neck-deep working toward his dream of becoming a firefighter.

Our youngest, Sam, just got his license last month and has been asserting his independence in various ways, like choosing Kanye West over Jack White— which so far is the only real instance of any of our kids disappointing me.

When they were small, it seemed th e i r re l i a n ce o n u s would never end, and sometimes, I ’d catch myself dreaming of this day. I’d always imagine FOR MORE TOM’S it kind of looking like the TAKES AND... cover of one of those WHAT’S COMING serious, sailboat-intoNEXT MONTH? the-sunset Father’s Day DON’T MISS STYLE’S c ards , except Vickie “50+ HOME DESIGN was with me at the helm TRENDS AND HOT and the deck below was PRODUCTS,” PLUS MUCH MORE, VISIT loaded with good wine STYLEFEDH.COM. and strong coffee.

66 stylefedh.com - January 2016

This is not to say that all those years of being parents of little ones was in any way a burden. Quite the opposite. We LOVED being Mom and Dad when they were squirts—even at their messiest, loudest, most tantrum-throwing worst.

I’ve changed diapers that qualified for federal Superfund dollars and ordered time-outs with the authority of a five star general. I’ve seen runny noses that would’ve terrified Stephen King and broken up fights better suited for alleys than living rooms. We’ve shushed and hushed and chased monsters from closets. We’ve seen wide eyes of wonder mystified by Santa Claus and calculus homework. We’ve praised good grades, applauded good deeds and judged who was a good friend (and who wasn’t).

We’ve tended to hurt feelings, broken arms, broken ankles, and the special mor tification that comes when your teenage daughter realizes that t h e c h e a p d ye j o b just turned her hair not the deep brown p ro m ise d o n th e b ox , b u t p u r p l e .

We’ve sur vived lea rn e r ’s pe rmit s , youth sports, Chuck E. Cheese’s, a n d D i s n eyl a n d at Christmas. We’ve gone from the call of dooty to Call of Duty, to college.

You want to know where in the world C armen Sandiego has been? Ask us.

We know.

But that part of our life is ending, and I was honestly beginning to mourn it until a recent weekend when I heard the great Bill Murray on NPR talking about his adult kids. “It’s funny,” he said, “you think that there’s an expiration date on them and there just isn’t. They have an eternal shelf life.

It’s not like, ‘OK, that one’s on his own now,’ you know. It’s not like a balloon that you let go of and it—well, ‘That’ll land in someone else’s yard.’ It doesn’t happen that way; the balloon always comes back to you. It’s kind of nice, really.”

And so instead of missing what is gone, I’m choosing to focus on what’s ahead, because there’s still so much from them I can’t wait to see.

However, make no mistake: Vickie and me...? We still want that boat.
