asktheexperts Q:

I’m looking for a stable, helpful environment for my mother. What are the advantages of assisted living?

A: Depending upon your mother’s individual needs, assisted living can be an excellent choice to enhance the quality of her life. In addition to the provision of support ser vices such as health and well-being monitoring , medication support and healthy meal choices, assisted living provides a social and interactive environment—one of its primary benefits. Assisted living is licensed by the State Department of Social Services, which requires staffing and amenities to ensure safe and stable surroundings. Isolation and loneliness are quite prevalent in older adults living alone, and assisted living provides just the right environment to feel secure and happy.

Q:

How soon should I get my first check-up after giving birth?

BOTOX® JUVEDERM® ULTRA XC & VOLUMA XC

Photo © Romolo Tavani/fotolia.com.

A: A postpartum appointment should occur four to six weeks after your delivery. If there were complications during the pregnancy, however, such as hypertension, a follow up in seven to 14 days may be recommended. A physical examination will be performed, your weight and blood pressure will be checked, and an abdominal and/or pelvic exam will be performed. As well, you will be screened for postpartum depression or postpartum blues. If you’re feeling sad, crying frequently or just not feeling like yourself, talk to your doctor; you should be forming a strong bond with your new baby and if there are problems, help is available.

If your pregnancy was complicated by gestational diabetes, follow-up will be discussed and labs may be ordered. Your physician may ask additional questions, and you should feel free to ask any questions that you may have.

Jethro Tull – Agriculturist or Rock Band?

Well, both actually. Jethro Tull (16741741) was an influential, if not brilliant, agriculturalist and inventor. Inventions of his— the horse drawn seed drill and horse-drawn hoe— changed and provided the foundation for modern agriculture. While he passed away almost three centuries ago, the name would be resurrected by the band’s manager, and while its one that the band founder Ian Anderson never cared for, its interesting how it now plays an important roll in the current tour. Style Publisher Terry Carroll interviewed Mr. Anderson about his October 24 show at the Harris Center.

What can we expect from the show? “It’s a weak but complicated and well organized excuse for the best of Jethro Tull, but I’m presenting [it] as a way of telling the re-imagined story of the original Jethro Tull…telling his life story but putting it into the present day, which gives me a little more satisfaction creatively.” This is a musician with deep feelings for our environment and the challenges we face. “...we are going to feed 13 billion people on planet Earth by the end of the century. And we certainly need visionary scientists of a comparable sort to Jethro Tull to be able to come up with ways of providing food for all of us.” For the complete interview, visit stylefedh.com.

Q: Best words of wisdom you’ve received?

A: “We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.”—Ronald Reagan

These days, in addition to his duties as a police officer, Dorris runs an anti-bullying boxing program at middle schools throughout the region. As an amateur boxer—one who holds numerous gold, silver and bronze medals from the Western States Police Olympics—Dorris has seen firsthand how boxing fosters a sense of community in adults and children alike.

He designed the program as a means to eradicate bullying in schools through building kids’ self-esteem—all while encouraging greater empathy for others. In order to stay in the program, participants must pass their

Escape: Fishing Guilty pleasure: Nacho Cheese Doritos Meal in town: Thai Paradise Memory: The birth of my children Movie: Tombstone Local nonprofit: Fighting for Fitness Saying: “Be the hero in your own story.” classes and stay out of trouble. For Dorris, a father of four, there is nothing more rewarding than helping an at-risk child stay on the right path. “I’ve seen the dark side of what can happen to kids without an adult reaching out to them,” he shares.

olsom police officer James Dorris’ first job was an eye-opening experience. While still in college, he spent three years in juvenile corrections, helplessly watching young people go down the road of gangs, drugs and violence. “It started taking a toll on me,” Dorris confesses. “It was depressing to see a kid get released, then have them come back a week later.” The experience made him realize that he wanted to pursue a career where he could make more of a positive impact on people’s lives; soon after, he enrolled in the Sacramento County Sherriff’s Academy.

foodie find Argos Caffè

D

irectly across the deeprooted paradigm of American coffee proudly stands locally owned Argos Caffè—determined to revolutionize the standards for a cup of Joe in the city of Folsom. From its contemporary interior design to its short-but-sweet selection of espresso and coffee, Argos’ offers a serene simplicity that has long been forgotten in today’s crowded coffeehouses that taunt sleep-deprived consumers with an overwhelming menu of beverages that aren’t even coffee. Upon entering the Italian-style espresso bar, I was welcomed by friendly baristas with good-natured smiles that faltered not once—even as I altered my order a number of times—and eventually settled on a Honey-Lavender Latte and Blueberry Bran Muffin (from the shop’s enticing array of organic and fresh pastries).

Just one sip of the latte was evidence enough of the owner’s great passion and care for blending and roasting. The honey softly sweetened the smooth, bold and full-bodied blend while the floral, yet earthy tones of lavender served as an exciting kick that never waned. As I leisurely nursed my drink and savored every bite of the muffin amidst the café’s calming ambiance, it became clear that Argos’ goal—“to create a place for people to get together, enjoy a great cup of coffee, converse, and think about their next big idea”—has come to fruition. Argos Caffè, 195 Blue Ravine Road, Suite 100, Folsom.

Folsom Community Service Day Wow! The Annual Folsom Community Service Day on September 17th saw over 2,500 volunteers turn out to help with multiple projects throughout the city.

Here are just some of them getting ready to hit the street after Mayor Steve Miklos’ early morning send off.

the10 spot Breast Cancer Facts In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we a s ke d l o c a l m e d i c a l experts—Joelle Jakobsen, M D , FA C S , g e n e r a l s u rg e o n a n d b re a st cancer specialist for Mercy Medical Group, a service of Dignity Health Medical Foundation; Dan Herron, MD, director of Women’s Imaging at Mercy Imaging Center; and Candice Sauder, MD, a breast cancer surgeon at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center—to share 10 lesser-known facts about the disease.

1. The majority (75 percent) of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of it.

2. Women with dense breasts have a higher chance of getting the disease, and their cancer may not be visible on a mammogram.

3. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, with a mean age of 61 at diagnosis.

4. There’s no evidence that hair dye or antiperspirant increase your risk.

5. Growing evidence suggests that women who get regular physical activity have a 10-25-percent lower risk. Avoiding weight gain and obesity and minimizing alcohol intake may also help to reduce one’s risk.

6. Research shows—and all the national health organizations agree—that the most lives will be saved if women begin mammogram screening at age 40 and have one each year.

7. Recent research indicates that long-term, heavy smoking may increase breast cancer risk, particularly among women who start smoking before their first pregnancy.

8. For women at 20 years of age, the risk is 1 in 1,674. At 30, it’s 1 in 225, increasing to 1 in 69 at age 40, 1 in 44 at age 50, 1 in 29 at age 60, and 1 in 26 at age 70.

9. Breast cancer typically produces no symptoms.

10. Although there is a small amount of radiation with a mammogram, many women get exposed to the same amount each year walking around from environmental radiation.

LIQUID FACELIFT RESTORE THE LOOK OF YOUTH WHAT CAN THE LIQUID FACELIFT DO FOR ME? The Triangle of Youth over time inverts and becomes the Pyramid of Age due to loss of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the skin. Symptoms of the Pyramid of Age include deflation of cheeks, prominent nasolabial folds, concavity under the eye, sagging of the jowl area and loss of definition in the jawline.

Q&A with the Folsom City Council Candidates compiled by Samuel Mailey

as needed. I’m not looking to become Folsom’s next 20-year council member; I’m interested in giving back to the community that gave me so much while keeping Folsom a city that’s truly “Distinctive by Nature.”

Five candidates will vie for two seats on the Folsom City Council at the November 8 election. In no particular order, they are...

ROGER GALYLORD III How are you qualified to lead Folsom?

Imagine electing a fresh face to city council who actually grew up in Folsom, someone who’s learned a tremendous amount about what Folsom has to offer, as well as to lose; someone who can bridge the age gap, taking over from where our current leaders left off, before they all retire at once; and someone who’s not beholden to any outside influences. I’m that fresh face! I’m the only candidate raised in Folsom and am ready to give back to my community. I’m a Folsom High School graduate and I studied criminal justice at Folsom Lake College. Today, I’m a successful security expert where I secure life and product for major retail chains and higher education. My first entrepreneurial experience came at age 17 when I founded an online store called solutionskates. com. Additionally, I’m a Folsom Utility Commissioner and founder of Lay Away Angels. I know what it takes to keep Folsom number one!

What do you see as the biggest challenge facing Folsom?

Outside influences funding a “growth for growth’s sake” agenda. Folsom’s political infrastructure is a true, good old’ boys’ network, seemly controlled by a fund (mostly developing companies with projects in Folsom) funneled 26 stylefedh.com - September 2016

through the Folsom Chamber of Commerce’s Political Action Committee called BizPAC. They run the incumbents’ campaigns and financially strangle the challenger who can’t afford to compete.

The city charter seems to protect this cycle by not having term limits. With fast expansion, not only do we start eroding the true family feel of Folsom, we start burdening the infrastructure as we’re expanding beyond our capacity.

Another issue I want to address is the seemly lack of online/social presence Folsom has. I want to connect residents with one another and plug them into the city via social media. Need a business permit? Why not just get it done online?

It should be that easy. As a graduate of Folsom High, I see an issue with our jobs. Folsom’s unemployment levels are low; however, it’s mostly entry level, retail jobs, which can’t sustain Folsom’s higher housing costs. We have a few “foundation employers” such as Intel but what happens if Intel leaves or continues the lay offs? We need to focus on attracting additional “foundation employers” who can reinvest organically by training within Folsom to create better opportunities for Folsom and Vista graduates.

What is your vision for Folsom’s future?

My vision is a dynamic, healthy economy and controlled, smart development that benefits all, not just a particular group of investors. Folsom’s already a great place to live with an amazing community—that’s obvious—but how do we ensure Folsom stays this way and doesn’t become San Jose? We have to adapt to the future, but we don’t have to sell our character and Folsom’s pride to do so. I will give residents a voice by creating transparency and accountability and connect us via social media, making sure folks know the objective and can critique or criticize

ROB ROSS How are you qualified to lead Folsom?

Folsom is amazing—that’s why it has been my home for over 15 years. My daughter was raised in Folsom and is a proud graduate of Folsom High School. I’m often described as a compulsive volunteer because of my involvement in Rotary, Folsom Community Service Day, and the Folsom Leadership Academy, among many other community projects. I have worked as the chairman of the Folsom Parks and Recreation Commission for six years and for more than 16 years I have owned a local technology business, which gives me a unique perspective on how to make our government more responsive and transparent.

What do you see as the biggest challenge facing Folsom?

Folsom is growing, and its incredible amenities and quality of life are attracting a large number of young families to our town. With growth comes a need to balance our priorities of affordable housing, traffic congestion, public safety, an efficient infrastructure, access to quality education and adequate water supply—all while preserving Folsom’s natural and historical resources.

What is your vision for Folsom’s future?

My vision for Folsom’s future is based on three core areas: • The River District. Cities that have direct access to their rivers thrive. I would like to create a special area where people

ERNIE SHELDON How are you qualified to lead Folsom?

I believe that my 22 years of community 28 stylefedh.com - September 2016

service as a park, planning and library commissioner and an additional eight years as a Folsom councilman gives me a very accurate evaluation of what issues the city must confront and resolve in order to keep Folsom a quality city. I remember the past, but I live in the future. I am not just a dreamer, but a doer. My agenda is to sustain and improve the quality of life for every child, parent, young adult, senior and veteran in Folsom. I will not let special interests in development and over commercialization disrupt the quality of life in Folsom. We will only accept the best!

What do you see as the biggest challenge facing Folsom?

Folsom’s biggest challenge in the future is to retain our quality of life and living and working to improve it. One example is to protect the last 17 acres of riverfront from over development. The acreage is for the benefit of all the folks and residents to enjoy. There’s more to be done on water, traffic, etc.; we need a doer to attack these challengers and not a dreamer.

What is your vision for Folsom’s future?

Working together, we will preserve the quality of life in Folsom and see that the following challenges facing the city are met: • Protect the riverfront • Discourage further Folsom site development South of White Rock • Do not minimize water concerns • Traffic concerns • Folsom South monitorship • Protecting our quality of life • Community college enhancements • Continue to monitor city fiscal responsibilities • Continued K-12 school enhancements • Finish 10 undeveloped parks and 10 unfinished parks I continue my pledge to you. “I will not pander to any special interests or promise the universe to get re-elected.

I will simply continue to work hard for you, doing what I’ve always done, fighting for the people of Folsom with honesty and integrity.”

JEFF STARSKY How are you qualified to lead Folsom?

I feel my 16 years of experience as mayor, vice mayor and city councilmember uniquely qualifies me to continue to lead our wonderful city. I know governmental processes and continue to work to improve efficiencies in the city’s systems to deliver cost-effective services that our residents expect. I bring 35 years of business, legislative and legal expertise, as well as 20 years of public service experience to Folsom. My fiscally conservative approach to government has resulted in a balanced budget for 16 straight years. Folsom has one of the lowest unemployment rates of any city in California, because of my efforts to recruit and retain both large and small businesses in Folsom. I’ve helped shepherd this city through the worst recession in its 70-year history and have been part of the team that has built a city that today stands as one of the best places to live, work and play in California. Folsom is recognized nationally for the quality of life and livability of our great city. In the last two years alone, it’s been named the Best City to Raise a Family, Best Suburb, Best City for Young Families, Best City for Young Professionals, and Best City for Job Seekers in Northern California; and this year we were named one of America’s 50 Best Cities to Live by 24/7 Wall St. and the 33rd Wealthiest City in America by NerdWallet. These awards do not happen by accident. I am part of a great team of city leaders who worked hard to make this happen.

What do you see as the biggest challenge facing Folsom?

can gather and enjoy the natural resources that are abundant in Folsom and our fantastic proximity to the American River. Public gathering spaces create accidental meetings between neighbors building on the community spirit that makes Folsom special. This district will allow people of all ages to gather and enjoy activities with the river as their backdrop.

• Higher education. We have an outstanding community college in Folsom. I will work to create partnerships with a fouryear university, which will offer baccalaureate degrees on the Folsom Lake College campus by sharing resources. As enrollment grows, high paying jobs will be created—expanding our local economy—and could spur the expansion into a separate university within the Folsom boundaries.

• Smart cities. A technology-savvy city is no longer a fantasy; it’s an expectation from our residents. We live in a time where inexpensive technology embedded throughout Folsom can and should make our environment more efficient in terms of land use, energy reductions, transportation and government processes. This type of technology will greatly reduce traffic congestion while we grow into South of 50.

Folsom’s leadership needs to embrace the implementation of technology, giving Folsom an opportunity to reap the benefits and reduce the direct expenses.

localmatters tremendous success in recruiting new businesses. What we as city leaders have to be careful to monitor is the impact of businesses that are growing in our new retail centers like Palladio and Broadstone on our older business sectors. We need to assure that the Central Business District remains vibrant. Just like the $10 million dollar investment our Redevelopment Agency made to the Historic District, we need to assure that a similar investment is being made in the Central Business District to assure its vitality. Stores like the recently opened Dick’s Sporting Goods will help revitalize some of the older shopping centers in the center of Folsom.

We need to continue to look at zoning and all potential uses for these older retail and commercial locations. Maintaining an appropriate balance of retail locations throughout the city is critical and will require attention in the coming years.

What is your vision for Folsom’s future?

Folsom’s future is very bright. Folsom is and will continue to be one of the most desirable places to live in California if I am re-elected. Our strong employment base and my plan to bring more diverse employers to the city will guarantee our tax base for years to come. Our actions to develop the Folsom Plan Area over the next 25 years will assure Folsom’s financial stability and will also provide our residents with over 1,000 acres of additional recreational amenities.

My conservative fiscal approach to government will assure that the city staffing levels will not exceed our budgets and our city government will remain efficient and effective. Public safety will remain my highest priority, and I will commit the necessary resources to keep Folsom families safe. My careful approach to growth will assure that our existing property values will remain high and the cost of public services will remain low. I will continue to bring new parks and recreational opportunities to Folsom, including the development of the Johnny Cash Park, an international tourism opportunity. I was instrumental in bringing the Amgen Tour of California to Folsom and will continue my efforts to promote Folsom as a tourist destination for cycling, rowing and running. Folsom’s opportunities are limitless. With the right 30 stylefedh.com - September 2016

leadership, Folsom will continue to be the best city in California.

CHAD VANDER VEEN How are you qualified to lead Folsom?

I’ve spent a decade working directly with the best state and local governments across the country. I’ve researched and studied what makes good government and what makes a city smart. Many candidates say they are for smart city strategies. I am the only candidate who served as editor of a magazine that exclusively covered smart city technologies and best practices. Today, I lead the communications department for Purchase Green Artificial Grass; we’ve helped Californians save over a billion gallons of water. I have real, practical experience in understanding how cities can best prepare themselves for the future.

What do you see as the biggest challenge facing Folsom?

The biggest challenge facing Folsom is a serious threat to our quality of life. Our current city council has been successful in the past and credit to them is due.

Yet, looking forward, they continue to offer 1970s solutions to 21st century problems. We cannot continue to give in to developer sprawl. We cannot continue to let our water be a bargaining chip. We cannot keep building more homes without building adequate infrastructure first. If we do allow these things to continue, sprawl will increase, traffic will worsen, crime will grow and education opportunities for current Folsom children will diminish. This is not the Folsom we love What is your vision for Folsom’s future?

As councilman, my vision is: • Infrastructure—delivering more transportation options (including a

•

•

•

Folsom Streetcar using existing track); diversifying our water sources and protecting against future drought; slowing growth so we build the proper infrastructure as we grow, not afterward; speeding up sustainability programs such as streetlight LED modernization, solar energy and battery storage.

Economy—working with state and federal agencies to develop attractive business incentive programs; working with existing business to create a technology incubator/entrepreneur community; bringing water and energy technology companies to Folsom; consulting with experts to make opening a business in Folsom as easy—and expeditious—as possible.

Education and Public Safety—meeting regularly with education and public safety officials to understand their needs; fighting to make sure South of 50 does not put existing Folsom students at a disadvantage; working to make STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education more commonplace; working with local technology partners to help get the best equipment in the hands of Folsom educators and public safety officers.

Tourism—continuing the tradition of great events in Folsom; seizing the opportunity to ensure the corporation yard includes vast, open access to the waterfront; working with state partners to facilitate more events on Folsom Lake (such as the powerboat races from a few years back); working with state and other agencies to improve accessibility and recreational opportunities on both lakes—after all, not everyone can afford a boat or wants one, but almost everyone enjoys the water.

Representation—creating five election districts in the city and working with city staff on the appropriate means of implementing the change; ensuring every resident is not only listened to but heard, ultimately better engaging every resident in their government process.

enlighten up 4 Yoga Practices to Try

by Kourtney Jason

PHoto by Dante Fontana.

L to R: Randy Kamka, Leslie Evans and Ronda Kamka at Zuda Yoga Folsom

44 stylefedh.com - October 2016

Y

oga does every body good.

Internally and externally, from your head to your toes, it works wonders on the mind, body and spirit. So it’s no surprise yoga is just as popular as golf. Whether you have yet to find yourself in downward-facing dog or you can hold a headstand for a couple minutes, both beginners and yoga experts can reap the rewards of the many different styles available. Read on to learn which types are offered around the region (only a small sampling of what’s available), as well as how it can improve both your mental and physical health. You don’t know how rejuvenating and relaxing savasana (aka corpse pose) can be until you try it!

1 / Restorative Also known as yin yoga, this style is soft and gentle, says Christian Devine, a yoga instructor at Roseville Health and Wellness Center. “It is simply a centering of your breath and body, aligning your physical and mental functions by practicing stillness or gentle movement for extended periods of time,” he says.

Health benefits: Anyone—beginner to advanced, younger to older adults—can benefit from a restorative yoga class.

“It slows down the pace of life,” Devine says. “It’s soothing to the nervous system, encourages mindfulness, cultivates heightened body awareness, deepens self-awareness and introspection, strengthens acceptance and detachment, helps you feel safe and more.”

2 / Vinyasa Referring to a flow or “arranging something in a special way,” vinyasa is an arrangement of yoga poses that flow together. “Students coordinate movement with their breath to flow from one pose to the next,” Devine says.

Vinyasa is a great complement to other sports or activities, such as running, cycling, swimming, etc. “It’s more than a workout—it’s about connection to your mind and body, along with a community connection,” says Ronda Kamka, coowner of Zuda Yoga Folsom.

Health benefits: During a vinyasa flow, students will improve blood circulation,

help their lungs work more efficiently, improve cardiovascular health, promote healthy gastrointestinal function, build a stronger immune system, boost metabolism and more.

3 / Ashtanga This style of yoga was codified and popularized by K. Pattabhi Jois during the 20th century, and is often promoted as a modern-day form of classical Indian yoga, Devine says. “Ashtanga means eight limbs or branches, of which asana or physical yoga posture is merely one branch, breathing (or pranayama) is another...

These two, along with six other branches of study, make up all eight limbs.”

According to Gretta Smith, owner of Ohana Moon Yoga in Cameron Park, ashtanga classes feature the basic dynamic recurring vinyasa flow, as well as the stillness and precision of Bikram (hot yoga).

Health benefits: Ashtanga helps to detox the body and is great for yogis looking for strength and discipline. You’ll become stronger, have a calmer mind and improve circulation.

4 / Hatha Hatha yoga refers to the practice of physical yoga postures, meaning your ashtanga, vinyasa, iyengar and power yoga classes are all hatha yoga, Devine says. “The word ‘hatha’ can be translated as ‘sun’ (ha) and ‘moon’ (tha), or the yoga of balance,” he adds.

Health benefits: Just a few of the perks include improved flexibility, focus and balance; building muscle strength, perfecting posture and protecting your spine; and increased blood flow.

uhammad Ali was one of the best-known faces of Parkinson’s disease (PD). His death earlier this year raised anew our awareness that PD can—and does—happen to the greatest of champions. Ali’s passing was also an urgent reminder to keep fighting for a cure.

Parkinson’s Association of Northern California (PANC) has been supporting the fight since 1996. The organization is based in Folsom and works on behalf of those with PD, along with their families and care partners. One of its many functions is to oversee more than 30 support groups throughout the region that meet monthly and are led by dedicated volunteers.

PANC and its board of eight volunteer directors provide numerous resources for participants. “We maintain a vibrant website, which is an excellent source for information, and we produce an annual educational conference,” says Nancy 46 stylefedh.com - October 2016

We also provide subsidies for respite support of those who care for persons with PD.” Kretz became involved with PANC after being invited to sit in on a board meeting two years ago. “Many, if not most, of our volunteers are either a person with PD or a spouse or family member of someone with PD, but that wasn’t what brought me to PANC,” she says. “As a retired nurseattorney, I felt a need to contribute time and energy to an organization that enhances the quality of life for those dealing with a chronic disease.”

One way PANC improves quality of life is with a new program called ParkinsonWISE. “Ron, with PD, was hoping to find a workout program that was in synch with his PD challenges,” Kretz recounts. “So

The event’s namesake, Davis Phinney, is a former professional road bicycle racer who was diagnosed with early-onset PD at the age of 40.

6 / Don’t be afraid While a fall may not result in a physical injury, it can be emotionally traumatic.

“This fear may cause an elder to disengage from the space or the activity that caused the fall,” says ten Brinke, warning that resulting social isolation and community disengagement can “increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, cognitive change, infectious illness and mortality.”

While the statistics are troubling, following the seven tips below will help to ensure you stay safe.

1 / Exercise J.C. Laverty, RN, MSN, trauma registrar at Marshall Medical Center, says patients can benefit from a balance and strength program, such as Marshall Medical’s “Stepping On” and “A Matter of Balance,” as well as the multi-county coalition, “StopFalls Coalition” chaired by UCDMC.

2 / Turn on lights “Dim lighting, especially if one’s eyesight is degraded, can lead to not seeing obstacles,” says Lola Rain, director of digital media at Eskaton.

3 / Get vision and hearing exams Make sure glasses and hearing aids are updated as needed.

id you know that one in three Americans over the age of 65 falls each year? The National Council on Aging also reports that an older adult dies every 19 minutes from a fall, and every 11 seconds an older adult is seen at an emergency department because of one. The biggest risks include biological problems, like balance and vision; behavioral issues, like inactivity and alcohol use; and environmental factors, like ill-fitting shoes. “The great news is that the majority of all these risks can be reduced,” says Therese ten Brinke, project coordinator for Strategic Initiatives at Eskaton. “Sustaining a fall in the past year is the most important predictor for future falls,” says Ashkan Javaheri, MD, CMD, division head of the Geriatric Division at Mercy Medical Group, explaining contributing factors include gait and balance impairment, arthritis, vision impairment, foot problems, and neurological diseases like stroke and

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that less than half of the seniors who fall every year tell their doctor. “It is important to talk with your doctor after a fall to assess your risk of falls and discuss important fall-prevention strategies,” says Laverty.

4 Crown Molding Myths, Debunked

by Kerrie L. Kelly, ASID

O

ne of the most beautiful details you can add to your home’s existing architecture is crown molding. If your abode is already decorated with it—awesome! However, there are many ways you can update it to match your style more closely. And if your space isn’t already decked out in beautiful molding, we’ve come up with a few ways you can change that, including four myths that should be dispelled around the architectural detail. Partnering with local expert, Steve Menez, out of Folsom, we help you decide whether or not crown molding is right for you. (Hint: It’s right for everyone!)

Myth #1 / Ceiling height definitely matters In short: No, it doesn’t. Resident crown molding expert Steve Menez explains: “Typically ceilings as low as eight feet can be crowned. Crown molding can be stacked with other moldings to achieve a larger

profile on higher ceilings, too. Many homes built in the 1970s and earlier had lower ceilings and a much simpler architecture, with fewer angles than you see in more modern built homes from the 1980s to the present. Those older, smaller homes have a ton of character in them already, and crown molding simply brings out the beauty of the architecture all the more.”

Myth #2 / Only one molding style should be used in a home Definitely not. However, uniformity is often better. “I’ve found in the 650 homes I have installed in that most people want a traditional and simple profile, sometimes referred to as ‘colonial crown,’” explains Menez. We suggest doing a bit of research before opting for more than one molding type throughout your space.

Myth #3 / The home’s style matters when selecting crown molding

This one rings true. “Most homes lend themselves to the beauty and elegance that crown molding gives a home.

However, there are a few homes where the architecture has too many transitions in the ceiling (especially true with some vaulted ceilings), so the crown would tend to lose the flow in those rooms, as opposed to a room where all walls have continuous crown molding on them.”

Myth #4 / White is the most popular color for crown molding True again. “Ninety-nine percent of what I see painted on all moldings, including crown, is a semi-gloss white. Swiss Coffee

by Kelly Moore is being widely used as the most popular shade of white,” says Menez.

FEATURED ON THE COVER

Secret Ravine 2015 Gold Fever Sauvignon Blanc, 14% ABV

This is a true West Coast IPA, featuring a restrained malt profile of American 2-row, German wheat and a touch of English crystal, giving the beer its golden straw color and allowing the hops—Mosaic, Simcoe and Columbus—to shine. The hops also provide dank aromas and flavors of tropical fruit and pine, which lead to a refreshing, dry finish. It pairs well with chicken wings, pork and salads.

GoatHouse Brewing Co. Ménage, 6.9% ABV

This Belgian tripel is brewed with 40 pounds of fresh mandarins (satsumas, honey mandarins and clementines from GoatHouse’s onsite orchard) and toasted spice. It was recently named one of the “Top 25 Beers” in Sacramento and is always a hit at the agriculturally based brewery, which grows 80 percent of their own hops.

GoatHouse Brewing Co., 600 Wise Road, Lincoln, 916-740-9100, goathousebrewing.com

Moonraker Brewing Company YOJO, 6.9% ABV

Helwig 2014 Barbera, 14.5% ABV

This Barbera explodes on the nose with notes of black cherry, cedar and subtle hints of lavender. The palate is rife with blueberry and gooseberry, rounding out with ample vanilla and cardamom spice. When pairing with food, consider traditional staples such as spaghetti and meatballs or lasagna. If it’s meats you desire, try braised lamb dishes or hanger steaks.

The unfiltered, fruity body provides the perfect vessel for this West Coast hop bomb. Try pairing it with a spicy Pad Thai dish; just don’t forget a bit of lime juice squeezed over the slightly sweet shrimp and chili rice noodles.

Boeger Winery, 1709 Carson Road, Placerville, 530-622-8094, boegerwinery.com

Rancho Victoria 2013 Primitivo This exquisitely balanced wine is

feminine in nature with flavors of fresh raspberry and ripe cherry. From start to finish, this Sierra foothill beauty cries elegance in a glass.

Loomis Basin Brewing Company Vindicator IPA, 6.5% IPA This flagship ale is a classic California IPA—extremely drinkable and not an over-the-top-hop-in-your-face IPA. Aromas of tangerine, grapefruit and a hint of pine fill the nose, and caramel and Munich malts balance out the beer by adding a full body and touch of sweetness. You can pair it with any great BBQ dish, but it’s particularly good with Asian-style foods and a good spicy taco.

and cherry aromas are accompanied by a bouquet of sweet toasty oak, with notes of nutmeg, hazelnut and butter, which brings a complexity that grows with time in the glass. Fourteen months in barrels provides a smooth, creamy texture and lengthens a finish

that lingers long after the wine is gone.

For a tasty pairing, try serving it with Braised Lamb Shanks Osso Buco (see recipe, next page).

Jeff Runquist Wines, 10776 Shenandoah Road, Plymouth, 209245-6282, jeffrunquistwines.com

Fawnridge Winery 2013 Chardonnay, 12.5% ABV

This French-style wine’s subtle oak gives it a soft mouth feel, ending with a lingering finish. It’s the recipient of a silver medal at the 2016 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, and a bronze medal at the Orange County Fair Wine Competition. Although it’s great to enjoy on its own, it also pairs well with poultry, seafood, Asian dishes and white sauces.

Fawnridge Winery, 5560 Fawnridge Road, Auburn, 530-887-9522, fawnridgewine.com

Braised Lamb Shanks Osso Buco 4-6 large lamb shanks 2 tbsp. olive oil Braising Sauce • 1 oz. prosciutto, chopped • 2 med. onions, thinly sliced • 1 carrot, finely chopped • 2 tbsp. minced garlic • 1 cup red wine • 1 ½ cups fresh tomatoes or canned, peeled, seeded and diced • 2 cups lamb, beef, or chicken stock • 2-3 small strips of lemon peel • 1 bay leaf • 1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary or (1/2 tsp. dried) • 1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme or oregano or (1/2 dried) • Salt and freshly ground black pepper • Basil Gremolata (recipe follows) Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large skillet or a Dutch oven, heat the oil over high heat. Add the shanks and brown them on all sides, 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat and set aside. To make the Braising Sauce: Pour off all but 2 tbsp. of fat from the pan. Turn the heat down to medium, add the prosciutto, onions and carrot, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are quite soft. Put in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the wine, tomatoes and stock and bring to a boil. Put in the lemon peel, bay leaf, rosemary, thyme or oregano, and the shanks. Cover the pot and put it in the center of the oven. Bake for 1.5-2 hours, or until the meat is quite tender, turning it from time to time during cooking. Remove the shanks and cover them loosely to keep warm. Degrease the sauce and discard the bay leaves and lemon peel. Reduce the sauce by half over high heat. Taste for salt and pepper.

Serve the shanks on a bed of risotto or polenta. Pour over some of the sauce, sprinkle the gremolata generously over the top and serve.

Basil Gremolata • 2tsp. chopped lemon zest • ½ tsp. chopped garlic • 2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper

• Pinch of sea salt • Finely chop all the ingredients together by hand or in a food processor.

Renwood 2014 Grand Reserve Barbera, 14.2% ABV

This complex and sophisticated world-class Barbera is opaque in color with vibrant aromatics of blackberry and blueberry, followed by hints of dried herbs and dark chocolate. It has impeccable balance and ripeness with astonishing depth that signifies the hallmark characteristics of this spectacular varietal.

Elegant yet fresh, this velvety smooth wine is laced with a beautiful acidity that will continue to age gracefully for the next several years (drink now through 2023). For a memorable food pairing, try it with a Niman Ranch Pork Osso Buco braised with garlic cloves, dried herbs and sherry wine, then served over creamy polenta, roasted summer vegetables and romesco sauce.

Auburn Alehouse Gold Country Pilsner, 5% ABV

This American-style pilsner has won three Great American Beer Fest medals—the nation’s most prestigious beer competition.

Safe to say, it’s widely considered one of the best beers made in the region. It boasts a brilliant clarity, pale straw hue, with a sturdy white head. Up front, the beer has a biscuit, almost honey-like sweetness, but it finishes bone dry with a snappy, hop character. Although it pairs well with a variety of dishes, it works best with herb-roasted chicken, and is a great match to fatty fish dishes, like salmon, plus creamy pastas, an assortment of cheeses and cured meats.

Auburn Alehouse, 289 Washington Street, Auburn, 530-8852537, auburnalehouse.com

is also not petite! It aged for three years in a combination of new and used barrels, and was a silver award winner in the 2015 Consumer Wine Awards and a bronze award winner in the 2014 Sunset International Wine Competition. Initially, its personality may be a bit subtle, but a little patience and it’s happy to complement any meal. It’s also known to pair perfectly with an empty glass.

PaZa Estate Winery, 3357 Ayers Holmes Road, Auburn, 916-834-0565, pazawines.com

Crystal Basin 2012 Triumphant Bordeaux-Style Blend, 15.1% ABV

Crystal Basin’s 2012 Triumphant is the tenth incarnation of the winery’s beautiful Bordeaux-style blend featuring all five of the Bordeaux grapes (50-percent Merlot, 30-percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 10-percent Cabernet Franc, 5-percent Malbec and 5-percent Petit Verdotall)—all sourced from El Dorado vineyards.

This wine has backbone and strength, along with balance and power.

Although the wine will age nicely for

up to 10 years…why wait? Try pairing it with mushroom Gorgonzola pasta with peppered filet mignon strips.

Everhart Cellars 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.5%

Everhart’s very low-yielding vines at their Pilot Ridge vineyard produce wines of deep color concentration, good acidity, tannins and rich flavors. This wine is no exception, with its dark ruby color and nice extraction. Aromas of black cherry, berry pie, and hints of green tea and tobacco are complemented by sweet, toasted oak aromas of graham cracker, coffee and spice. On the palate are flavors of red fruit, rich and full, with toasted oak adding complexity without taking away from the core of fruit.

The award-winning wine (it took a gold medal at the Orange County Fair Wine Competition) is balanced and has nice tannins that are firm yet not overpowering, making it a perfect pairing for most red meats or all by itself.

Chantara Thai Cuisine

Take Your Taste Buds to Flavor Town

Angel Wings

Lamb on the Run

I

dined at Chantara Thai a number of times several years ago, but other than the comfortable location and interior, not much else struck me as…memorable.

After my lunch today, however, either new memories have been created, or the cobwebs have been cleared.

Let’s start with the Angel Wings appetizer. Part wing, part deep-fried Thai chicken sausage, with a convenient b u i l t - i n h a n d l e, t h ey ’ re ridiculously labor intensive to make (I’ve made them exactly once for that reason) and a rare commodity in most Thai restaurants. Dipped in the

accompanying honey-plum sauce made them, literally, finger-lickin’ amazing.

For my next course, I ventured where most folks seldom go: Pla Lard Prik (fish in chili sauce). No big deal? This is a whole, fried fish (pompano) in an extra spicy, garlic loaded, saltysweet chili sauce. In other words, not for a timid diner. If you don’t mind your plate staring back, or the small amount of effort required to relieve the fish of its precious cargo, the reward is worth the minor nuisances and a good plate to nosh on with friends.

Part wing, part deep-fried Thai chicken sausage, with a convenient built-in handle, they’re ridiculously labor intensive to make...and a rare commodity in most Thai restaurants.

Fish in Chili Sauce

Soon after, came one of Chantara’s specialties: Lamb on the Run, featuring skewered brochettes of lamb and pineapple, marinated in coconut milk and accented with sesame seeds—again served with that spicy, salty, sweet sauce that resonates with many Thai dishes. Make sure to order the lamb medium rare (I think as soon as my server heard medium, she figured I meant the spice level) or it can be slightly dry, but still most enjoyable. The kabobs were served alongside a vibrant salad of green beans, carrots, cabbage and onions—a perfect complement to the meat’s richness. (Many of

Sticky Rice and Mango

would have been delicious. Thankfully, my waitress recommended sticky rice and mango. I wasn’t prepared for the goodness that is warm sticky rice and cool mango; it’s the Thai equivalent of rice pudding and ice cream with some textural differences.

No matter how tasty fried bananas and ice cream are, sticky rice and mango wins, hands down, and was a perfect ending to a memorable meal.

the entrées can be ordered vegetarian also.)

In the dessert round, I had initially ordered fried bananas and ice cream, which I’m sure

taste HEALTHY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN POTATO SKINS The Hungry Fan’s Game Day Cookbook: 165 Recipes for Eating, Drinking & Watching Sports by Daina Falk (Oxmoor House, 2016, $13.40)

Friendly Fangating Tip Feel free to wilt your spinach in the microwave by putting it in a bowl with 1 tsp. water and zapping it for 20-second intervals. I like to substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream. They taste almost exactly the same, but Greek yogurt is much healthier and lower in fat and calories.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Wash the sweet potatoes, and prick them all over with a fork. Brush the skins with 2 tbsp. of the olive oil. Place in a Pyrex dish or on a baking sheet, and bake them for 50-60 minutes or until fork-tender.

3. Place the chicken in a baking dish, rub with 1 tbsp. of the olive oil, and season with a small dash of salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the oven alongside the potatoes, and cook for 25-30 minutes, until cooked through. Set aside to cool.

4. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/4 cup

dinner date Food and Beer for the Season olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chipotle pepper, oregano, cumin, chili powder and 1/2 tsp. each of the salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.

5. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it with a fork or your fingers. Then combine it with the spinach, and keep warm.

6. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, and let cool for 5-10 minutes more.

7. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

8. Using a spoon, scrape out the insides of the potatoes, leaving only the skin and a 1/4-inch layer of potato flesh. (Be careful not to tear the skins.) Return the skins to the baking dish, and brush the insides with the chipotle and herb mixture. Bake for 5-10 minutes or until crisp.

9. Meanwhile, add the remaining chipotle and herb mix to the spinach and chicken, tossing to combine.

10. Once the skins are done, stuff them with the chicken mixture, top with grated cheese, and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the skins are hot and crisp. Top with Greek yogurt, the hot sauce, if desired, and chopped cilantro. Serves 6.

AMADOR BREWING COMPANY’S ALTBIER Sited in Plymouth and only open since 2015, Amador Brewing Company may be a newer kid on the brewery block, but already boasts a great selection of brews in an array of styles, with loyal fans to boot. Their Altbier, a Northern German amber ale that clocks in at 6.3-percent alcohol by volume, took silver at the California State Fair and boasts a palatable and balanced blend of bitter hops and sweet European malt. With a sweet caramel start and dry, hoppy finish, it’s a very easy-drinking, food-friendly beer that pairs especially well with sweet-spicy dishes, like this month’s Healthy Chipotle Chicken Potato Skins.

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

In 2013, I decided to open a distillery in Sacramento County. With five other partners, we achieved this, with a product launch, in July 2014. Currently, we are the only distillery in Sacramento County and also the first one since Prohibition. We’re distilling vodka and an American dry gin, with additional products planned for the near future, which you can try in our cozy tasting room.

What was the first job you ever had?

When I was 14, I worked in a barbershop sweeping hair on the weekends.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

Being an Eagle Scout, formerly working as a firefighter EMT, starting my own business and having a family.

Who is your role model in business or in life, and why?

My father. His strong work ethic, balanced with his devotion to family, will always be something I strive for.

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

Anywhere outdoors away from the noise.

What’s your hidden talent?

I hand forge Damascus knives as a side business. I haven’t done it in a while, but I have sold knives all over the world.

What’s your favorite childhood memory?

The weeks spent at Bass Lake at Wishon Cove with my family.

If you could meet someone living or dead, who would it be and why?

Walt Disney. I think his life’s journey is fascinating.

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

We are a wellness center that offers reformer Pilates classes, Pilates cardio twist circuit training, belly dance core fit classes, personal training and wellness workshops (meditation, yoga, nutrition, etc.). Our studio classes are small, so whether you’re a beginner or an advanced student, we provide you with individualized attention, so you can bring your practice to the next level.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

We truly love what we do and have a passion for Pilates and all things wellness.

That excitement is contagious and shows in the way we teach and interact with our students. Our staff supports and encourages one another, and strives to create a positive and uplifting environment.

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

We partner with and support other small business owners in the community, like physical therapists and nutritionists, by promoting their services to clients.

We want our clients to have as many resources as possible to help them have a vibrant and healthy life.

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

We love to meditate and recently hosted a “Yin Yoga and Meditation” workshop at the studio.

What’s your hidden talent?

Lynda is an outdoor enthusiast and rock climber, and Britt is a belly dancer.

What’s your biggest job perk?

Hearing from students how Pilates has improved their quality of life. We love to be a part of positive changes in others.

And finally, customer service is…?

Building a personal relationship with each one of our clients and taking a genuine interest in their well-being. We pride ourselves on being the “masters of modification,” meaning each person who comes into the studio gets an individual experience based on their strengths and limitations.

perfectly imperfect Accepting Flaws with Finesse

I

am 52 years old and have finally come to grips with something: I’m really not very good at a lot of stuff. Don’t get me wrong: This isn’t a plea for positive reinforcement. My self-esteem is fine. Great, actually. What I’m saying is just a simple statement of fact.

My wife does o ur finances, because I suck at numbers. I play but remain dreadful at golf, guitar and Call of D u t y. I ’ m i nto c raf t beer and would love to be “an expert,” but to be “an expert” you need a “good palate,” and my palate is so tone-deaf that this very magazine once got an angry call from a brewer criticizing me for the words I chose to compliment one of his beers.

But I keep trying. Despite my age, I still play rec league basketball. When my 17-year-old came to one of my games for the first time in years, I was thrilled! Here was a chance to show him the old man still has it. Now, granted, there’s no way I’m going to have the athleticism of a 22-year-old but, truth is, when I was 22 I didn’t have the athleticism of a 22-year-old. My decline had a head start.

So, in my five minutes of playing time, Sam got to see me miss a layup, shoot an air ball and get crossed over by a kid who shaves, at best, twice a month. After, Sam clapped me on the back and FOR MORE TOM’S TAKES, said, “That was great, Dad.” VISIT STYLEFEDH.COM. And for a moment, I felt WHAT’S COMING better—maybe he’d noticed NEXT MONTH? how much I hustled...?

DON’T MISS STYLE’S “A Naw. He explained he’d LOCAL’S GUIDE TO THANKSGIVING.” managed to get all my bad 82 stylefedh.com - October 2016

plays on video and posted them to Snapchat.

Good for you, son.

Another example: I took up running, thinking that maybe I’d be good at long distances because, honestly, the only skill required is to not stop. But in my fourth and likely last marathon, not only did I not come anywhere close to the goal time I’d set for myself: I was outrun—as God as my witness this is true—by a lady wearing Crocs.

Even when I write, I don’t get it right: In last month’s Tom’s Take, I confidently stated Frank Sinatra’s “September Song” was written by Willie Nelson. Thank you Diane for pointing out that Willie did indeed cover the song, but it was written

by Maxwell Anderson and Kurt Weill in 1938, when Willie would’ve been barely old enough to write his name. Note to self: Fact-check, dummy.

Despite all that, I’m OK with being OK. No, seriously.

Admittedly, for most of my life I didn’t want to acknowledge my flaws. Who does? But the last several years, I’ve come to grips with them, and, surprise, nothing caved in. My wife still loves me.

Friends still call. Maybe it’s simple resignation, but I prefer to think I have accepted who I am. In some ways, I think recognizing my aptitude for ineptitude has given me insight: I now have a deeper appreciation for great musicians, athletes and smart people. I am more in awe of people who are good at creating, fixing or solving things.

In some ways, I kinda feel sorry for people for whom everything comes easy.

OK, no, that’s a lie.

But I do think more of us need to accept imperfections—in ourselves and in others.

As we near the end of what has been the most contentious political season in my memory, I think now would be a good time to keep in mind that none of us get it right all the time. Maybe if we own up to our own flaws, we’ll be a little more forgiving of the imperfections of others, because we all miss layups. We all shoot air balls. What we need to remember is, we should never be anything less than grateful for the privilege of just stepping on the court.

Though hopefully my son isn’t sitting in the stands logging onto his Snapchat account.
