decided to get a little head start on my New Year’s resolutions. For those of you who know me, you’re probably looking around to see if pigs are flying. Even I got a little clammy-handed when I decided to mentally commit to this long-avoided commercial tradition. Usually I proclaim that living in the moment without any “shoulds” is the way to go, but of late, I see that some balance may be needed. So what tops my resolution list you ask? Well, without going into my usual long-winded explanation to justify why I’m breaking my own rules, let’s just say I’ve planned some improvements for my mind, body and…soul! To get the ball rolling—in the “body” department—this month I have scheduled a little work to be done on my smile, or my “grill” as my daughter would say. After injuring my front tooth in a childhood wrestling match with my brother, I walked away with a root canal and a discoloration that only intensifies as I get older. This issue—combined with some others—propelled me to finally listen to my patient, and talented, dentist who prescribed a special combination of veneers. No longer will I look at photos of me and cringe. This is where the “mind” part comes into play. One’s self-confidence is important to nourish for a healthy outlook on life. And, yes, I know there’s more to mental health than looking good and knowing it. I’ve decided to bring meditation back to my life, which always gives me such great perspective and enhances every aspect of my life, including relationships. Now we’ve reached the “soul.” I hope to feed my soul this year via better investments in my relationships with close friends, family and fiancé. What this really means is I’d like to give more of myself to more of my people. After all, the best gift you can give your loved ones is the best you. Find the best you, or better yet, achieve the best you with “30 Must-Dos for Health & Wellness...Now!” This matter-of-fact run-down includes a myriad of ways to improve your mind and body—all from local health and wellness professionals. At least one of them will make you say, “What a great tip. I’m trying that.” If that doesn’t get your self-improvement engine revving, don’t miss Style staff’s exposé on local, yet off-the-beaten-path fitness classes in “We Tried It: Local Fitness Classes with Flair.” Again, we bet that one of these will make you say, “I’m trying that.” Also in this issue, Morgan Cásarez shares her compilation of “Healthy Recipes for Picky Palates” taken from the cookbooks of local caterers. Lavash pizza with veggie marinara sauce? OK, yum. By the looks of the recipe’s ingredients and accompanying photo, this delicious pizza should change some kids minds about healthy food. Change is good, so they say. Try breaking one of your own rules this year! — Desiree

Q&A Q: What advice would you give to your younger self? A: Work harder in school. Q: What comes to you naturally? A: Liking people. Q: Are you high or low maintenance? A: Low. Q: Biggest life inspirations? A: My boss when I was in my 20s: Wilbur Pobamz. Q: What are you most proud of? A: My family.

oseville resident Jack May remembers the days when kids used to play outside instead of sitting in front of the TV. Raised on a farm in Wisconsin, he often had to get up as early as 5:30 a.m. to do chores. May is now retired from a successful career with a livestock feed company, and he dedicates much of his time to community outreach activities, such as the Granite Bay Rotary Club and Future Farmers of America. He is especially passionate about encouraging kids to lead more active lifestyles and pursue their goals, as reflected in his nationally recognized children’s book Jumpin’ Jackie: The Cow That Jumped Over the Moon, which encourages kids to never give up on their dreams. 10 stylemg.com - January 2014

Jack with wife Laura

The book’s positive message has a special significance for May, a two-time cancer survivor. For this reason, he regularly donates his books to children in the neonatal department at Sutter Hospital, in hopes of inspiring them to maintain a positive attitude through even the most difficult experiences. In addition, he is the inventor of Jumpin’ Jackie’s Moon Jump Trainer, an award-winning toy that gets kids off the couch and jumping in active play. Through his community activities and inventions, May hopes to make a difference in the lives of children, or anyone going through tough times. “We all have a responsibility to give where we can,” May shares. “Besides, I get a kick out of it!” — Amber Foster

to be taken out every night and cleaned with a special solution. Dental implants, on the other hand, are screwed into the bone with metal anchors, creating a solid foundation that acts as a tooth root substitute— meaning you simply take care of them like you would normal teeth (regular brushing and flossing). What’s more, dental implants preserve your facial structure, therefore preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. — Dr. Antipov Galleria Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 911 Reserve Drive, Suite 150 Roseville 916-783-2110, drantipov.com

season’s eatings

PlacerGROWN and Foothill Farmers’ Market With sweeter juice, a thinner peel, less acid and a more floral scent than other lemon varieties, Meyer lemons are ideal for cooking.

SELECTION AND STORAGE

What’s in Season:

Meyer Lemons

Choose heavier Meyer lemons as opposed to lighter ones, as it’s an indication of higher juice content. Store them in a plastic storage bag (to prevent them from losing moisture) in a crisper for up to four weeks; the cold from the refrigerator slows the enzyme reactions that cause ripening. For the recipe to make a Meyer Lemon-Buttermilk Tart, visit stylemg.com. — Julie Peterson For details on where to buy this sweet citrus fruit and other Placer County farm-fresh produce, wine, meat and local products, visit placergrown.org.

DID YOU KNOW? It’s believed the Meyer lemon is a cross between a conventional lemon and either a mandarin or an orange. Like so many citrus fruits, the Meyer lemon originated in China. In 1908, it was discovered by agricultural explorer Frank Nicholas Meyer of the U.S. Department of Agriculture on one of his exploratory trips to China. The Meyer lemon has since made its way to farms in California, including Placer County. Locally, Meyer lemons can be purchased at farmers’ markets held year-round in Auburn on Saturdays, and in Roseville at The Fountains on Tuesdays. They are also sold at many area farms, including ones in Granite Bay, Loomis, Newcastle, Lincoln, Penryn and Auburn.

Erik’s DeliCafe

Bay Area favorite for more than 40 years, Erik’s DeliCafe has finally made a home in the Sacramento region. Located near the Roseville Automall, Erik’s opened in July of last year, and I have no doubt it is here to stay. I visited the eatery on a recent Friday afternoon and while mulling over their extensive menu, the restaurant quickly became crowded with eager patrons. I finally ordered the R.E.O. Speedwagon and went on to fill my Mason jar with iced tea. While walking to my seat, I admired the antiques displayed; thankfully, it wasn’t long before my sandwich arrived. Between two slices of fresh sourdough bread was smoked ham, turkey breast and Monterey jack cheese in perfectly equal portions, along with a slathering of Erik’s “secret goo,” red onions, tomatoes and sprouts. A pickle spear and orange slice was served on the side, making a delicious addition to the fresh, tasty sandwich. I was satisfied and full after just half, but I’ll definitely be back soon to figure out exactly what’s in Erik’s “secret goo.” Erik’s DeliCafe, 1450 Lead Hill Boulevard, Roseville. 916-7825566, eriksdelicafe.com. — Emily Peter 14 stylemg.com - January 2014

acrosse is one of the fastest growing sports in California and has had great success with the youth in Granite Bay over the past 10 years. Scott Pink and Russell Postell— both lacrosse players in college—founded Granite Bay Youth Lacrosse in 2004. “Our mission was to inspire passion for lacrosse, provide positive athletic opportunities for children in the Granite Bay area, and become By Emily Peter one of the premier programs in California,” explains co-founder and president of Granite Bay Youth Lacrosse Scott Pink. They started out with just one team playing in one tournament with rented equipment. Growing steadily over the years, Granite Bay Youth Lacrosse now has a year-round program, fall clinics, and between 200 and 300 participants each year. “The 10th anniversary is a significant milestone for our club, as it demonstrates that lacrosse has become a fixture and part of the fabric of our community,” continues Pink. Friendships have been built through the sport and players have continued to play into high school and even college. For more information, visit gblax.org.

FACTS & FIGURES

1964

The year that Roseville was dubbed “AllAmerican City” by Look Magazine. It was not a coincidence that All American City Boulevard, Roseville, got its name that same year.

7,000

The number of 250pound bombs that exploded at the Roseville Rail Yard on April 28, 1973. The bombs were on a train headed for a San Francisco naval depot, bound for Vietnam (throughout WWII, Korea and the Vietnam War munitions regularly passed through Roseville). More than 100 people were injured, but luckily there were no fatalities.

The percentage of New Year’s resolutions related to self-improvement or education, according to statisticbrain.com via the University of Scranton Journal of Clinical Psychology.

1929 The year Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians performed their version of “Auld Lang Syne” on the radio live from the Roosevelt Hotel. The song became Guy Lombardo’s signature tune, which he played every New Year’s Eve until 1976.

The date to mark your January calendars for National Hugging Day. Not a public holiday (yet), it was created in 1986 by Rev. Kevin Zaborney of Michigan to promote the benefits of physical contact. Remember: Don’t make it weird! — Compiled by Sharon Penny

derek thomas band Feel-Good Songs for the Soul

hen Derek Thomas opens his mouth and starts singing, it’s nearly impossible not to immediately be reminded of Michael Buble, Harry Connick, Jr. and Frank Sinatra. Much of this can be attributed to the fact that Thomas studied the idolized crooners, and consistently covered their songs while he, Sam Plecker and Nolan Le Vine made up the popular Roseville-based teen band Thomas & Plecker. Explained Thomas, “In the beginning of Thomas & Plecker, I intentionally stylized my sound to emulate Frank Sinatra, while the band had a John Legend feel—but as John Mayer says ‘you fall short in aspiring to be someone else, and in that journey, you find your own sound.’” Plecker has since left the area to attend college, turning the venerated band in a new direction, and a tonality distinctly their own. “The band first assembled during Thomas & Plecker, while we were in the studio rehearsing our new set of original music to record—that was the first time we were all in the same room at the same time playing music. Recording Come And Go (Thomas & Plecker) introduced us directly to an extended family of musicians,” says 22 stylemg.com - January 2014

by Kelly Soderlund Thomas. That musical collective introduced David Albertson and Jayson Angove to Thomas and Le Vine, who would become the subsequent members of the new ensemble, the Derek Thomas Band. Continues Thomas, “Nolan (Le Vine) and I knew we had only a limited amount of time to spend with Sam (Plecker) as part of Thomas & Plecker, so we began to conduct rehearsals with David and Jayson during that time; thus, the band was born.” In the past year, the group has dedicated a substantial amount of time and energy to constantly improving their presence and dynamics on stage, a decision that has paid off—their audience size and support has grown with each show. The Derek Thomas Band claims three immediate goals: making music/performing, touring/traveling, and enjoying the journey along the way. “I also believe that as we grow, so will our goals. This February, we are planning our first Northwestern tour through Portland and Seattle. The band also plans to record an EP early this year,” shares Thomas. Despite the fact that Thomas had the honor of singing the national anthem at a Kings game in front of a full house, his most

memorable performance as a band was definitely at Sammy’s Rockin’ Island Bar & Grill on October 6, 2013; the whole building was packed, and Thomas felt the band connected so well with both the audience and each other. Concludes Thomas, “I can only really describe our sound by describing our fans. Though our fans are predominately people in their early-to-late 20s, our music does not rigidly appeal to just one age demographic; people of all ages come to see us and enjoy our shows. We play feel-good music with a lot of soul, and sometimes that doesn’t fit just one genre. We just hope to keep playing while people are listening.”

peak performance 10 Relationship Marketing Tips by Dr. Debra Moore

1. Bring value to the table. What do you bring to your relationship? Strong partnerships are built when each person intentionally adds value to the other’s life on an ongoing basis.

2. Have confidence in yourself—it’s very attractive. Authentic confidence, not bravado, attracts healthy partners. If we lack confidence, it will always show and eventually our partner’s confidence in us fades as well.

6. Spell out their part in the endeavor. Good marketers know they need their audience to take action. Just thinking about an idea isn’t enough. Communicate a concrete picture of what you hope for in your relationship, and make it specific. 7. Share “exclusive” content that others don’t have access to. Let your partner know they are special. Share parts of yourself with them that others don’t necessarily know about. These parts can be serious, such as past traumas that still hurt, or lighter topics, such as silly names you reserve for each other in private.

8. Create context. Don’t assume your partner can fill in the blanks about your personal history or the specifics of your daily life when you’re away from them. Take the time to fill them in on a regular basis. They don’t need every little detail, but make sure they understand why a topic is important to you.

9. Use a variety of ap proaches. You wouldn’t create a marketing strategy that relied on only one media. The same applies to relationships, so spice up the when, where

3. Know your audience . Don’t assume you know what’s most important to your partner. Realize that over time needs also change. Find out—on a regular basis—what your partner wants and needs.

4. Be concise in your message and deliver it at the right time. You need to have a person’s attention before you can expect them to really hear you. Wait if it’s not the right time. Ask permission before you begin.

5. Let them know what’s in it for them. Why should your partner invest their energy into a relationship with you? Talk about your vision—the dreams you have that can be best realized if you blend your personalities and strengths. Create some excitement about the future! 24 stylemg.com - January 2014

and how of your communication and activities.

10. Truth in advertising—keep it honest! If your product (you) needs improvement, work on it. Never misrepresent yourself. Any short-term gain will be far outweighed by the loss of respect and trust that happens when you can’t deliver. Get yourself in shape first, and then market away.

Healthy Recipes for Picky Palates by Morgan Cásarez

y the time we reach adulthood, most of us are well aware of the benefits that come with healthy eating habits—lower cholesterol, decreased risk of heart disease and improved energy—but making sure the little ones in your life get their fruits and veggies can be an uphill battle, especially when dealing with picky eaters. If filling their plates with five a day tends to end in a tantrum, we recommend giving Style’s collection of healthy recipes a try. Concocted by our favorite local caterers, each offers a healthy dose of nutrition and delicious—sure to please even the most particular palate.

Encourage them to help wash, chop, stir or mix whatever you’re making. Kids love to get involved and are more inclined to eat what they’ve helped to prepare. Grow an herb garden. Herbs are packed with nutrients and kids will love eating what they’ve helped to grow. Sneak extra veggies into pasta sauces, casseroles, stews and soups. Chop them small, purée them in the blender, or shred them to hide from picky eaters.

Buy organic. Organic produce, dairy and meats are richer in vitamins and nutrients and tend to be more flavorful than their conventional counterparts. Make subtle changes. Substitute brown rice for white, eat more whole grains (like quinoa) rather than processed ones, utilize healthier unprocessed sweeteners (honey, maple syrup, coconut sap sugar and Sucanat) instead of white granulated sugar, and opt for fresh fruits and veggies over canned and frozen products.

Fill the work bowl of a food processor with beans, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice, and purée until fairly smooth, adding in the reserved garbanzo liquid a little at a time if needed. Pulse in the remaining ingredients just to blend— you don’t want to purée the parsley and turn the hummus green. Taste and add more lemon, salt or cayenne if needed. A drizzle of olive oil and some lemon zest over the top looks nice, too. Serve with crisp vegetables, pita bread or baked chips. Serves 12.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: • Obesity is defined as having excess body fat, while overweight is defined as excess body weight for a particular height (from fat, muscle, bone, water, or a combination of these things). • Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years. • The percentage of children aged 6-11 in the U.S. who were obese grew from 7 percent in 1980 to nearly 18 percent in 2010. • Obese youth are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including high cholesterol and high blood pressure. • Obese adolescents are more likely to have prediabetes. • Obese children and adolescents are likely to be obese adults, which puts them at greater risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, cancer and osteoarthritis.

GREEN SMOOTHIE

Lavash Pizza and kids ice skating photos by Dante Fontana.

Submitted by Table Nectar Local & Organic Catered Events, tablenectar.com One of my favorite ways to get kids to eat a salad for breakfast, believe it or not, is in a smoothie. In our family, we call it a green smoothie, and my daughter loves it because of the green mustache she gets after slurping it down! The best part about this recipe is its simplicity. All you have to do is add 1/2 to 1 cup of chopped raw baby spinach, romaine lettuce, cabbage, collard greens or green kale, and the juice of one lemon to your favorite fruit smoothie recipe and serve! Surprisingly, the fruit and citrus overpower the flavor of the greens and just about any kid will happily drink it—as long as they don’t see what was put into the blender. TIP: Be sure to blend thoroughly and make the smoothie extra cold by adding additional ice or frozen fruit toward the end of blending. The low temp will help mask the flavor of the greens. Also, feel free to mix and match the types of greens you add. Spinach, romaine and cabbage are particularly mild and pleasant while collard greens and kale have a bit of a bite to them. I find that parents are most successful at getting their kids to drink a green smoothie when the quantity of greens increases gradually over time. Start off with just a 1/2 cup of chopped greens in a blender full of smoothie, taste it, and go from there… the sky is the limit!

the taylor house Fostering Family by Morgan Cásarez how alone and worthless many of them feel, and it brings me so much joy to provide even just a few girls with hope.” According to Kelly, in California alone, there are more than 55,000 children in foster care; 6,000 of which will age out of the system when they turn 18. “In Placer County, when foster youth ‘age out,’ their living options are limited,” explains Taylor House Board Secretary Nancy Klevickis. “It is not only expensive to rent, but the girls generally do not have jobs or a large pool of friends and no family to support them.” Klevickis began volunteering for Peat in 2012. In that time, she’s done everything from cleaning the house to taking residents to the DMV for their driver’s license as part of the organization’s matching car program—follow-

ing 90 days of successful employment, The Taylor House will match a resident’s savings up to $1,000 toward the purchase of a vehicle. “[Peat] inspires me for her capacity to bring many different types of people together and ignite passion for this important mission. She is committed and persevering,” shares Renee Bouck, Peat’s friend and a Taylor House supporter. “There was no rule book when she created [this]. The idea grew as Peat worked in the CASA system and saw a need. The project has grown considerably since those first months and her skills have grown with it, meeting each challenge and setback with renewed commitment.”

isa Peat retired from her corporate finance job more than a decade ago, but the change hardly signaled the end of her career. She began advocating for foster youth in court as a volunteer with Child Advocates of Placer County (CASA), a role that exposed her to the harsh reality teens face as they age out of the foster care system. Determined to help, she transformed a dilapidated six-bedroom home in Downtown Roseville into The Taylor House, a non-profit transitional residence for young women. “Our goal at The Taylor House is to offer reasonable rents while coaching and teaching life skills to help the girls transition into successful adults,” Peat says. “We want to create a sense of community that will build lifelong relationships and build self-confidence, while teaching them what to expect from the ‘real world.’” With the help of volunteers and generous donations from friends, family and La-Z-Boy Furniture, Peat welcomed her first resident in January 2012, just three months after purchasing the property with her own money. “This is not an easy job, but I believe that these girls are worth all our time,” she shares. “I know I am doing what I am supposed to do, no matter how difficult it gets.” As executive director, Peat provides life skills classes that teach basic cooking, cleaning, budgeting and first aid. According to the website, prospective residents are required to prepare a rental application (complete with references and deposit) and sign a month-to-month lease agreement. The experience is meant to prepare them for life after they stay at the house. “Working with these young adults has dramatically impacted me personally,” says Taylor House Board Member Bonnie Kelly. “Being a former homeless teen, I know all too well how easy it is to get swept away with one bad choice after another.

happy tidying 8 Post-Holiday Cleaning Tips by Kerrie Kelly, ASID

ttacking the holiday cleanup can be overwhelming. However, with a strategy in place it’s doable—and even a little fun. Don’t let the tidying up take away your New Year’s joy. Follow these eight simple steps to ready your home for 2014.

1. START WITH A GREAT ATTITUDE. It’s easy to grumble as you remove ornaments, put away presents and sweep up pine needles. Yes, it’s work, but its work that you can be grateful for—just think, you get to reclaim your kitchen and all that square footage decorations once ate up.

2. TACKLE THE LOW-HANGING FRUIT. An entire clean-up process is easy to get overwhelmed by, so create smaller objectives. Gather the ornaments. Bring in the tote boxes. Take holiday lights down, inside and out. Wash your festive dishes and the tree skirt, too. It will all get done. Small victories deserve a special treat once complete—perhaps an espresso when the tree is finished?

3. DONATE IT. Bring a big box to the center of your home and fill it with items that can be donated. Are there games that only got played a couple of times or outgrown toys and decorations? These are the perfect donation items. Or, maybe you already have a bag just waiting to be dropped off. Rip off the Band-Aid and donate the goods.

4. ROLL OUT THE TREE. For those who purchase live trees, take it outside and roll it around to confirm you pulled off all of your favorite ornaments. Once they’re all fetched, organize them; this will be the “gift” you give yourself come next December.

5. GET THE WHOLE FAMILY INVOLVED. Celebrate taking down everything with as much enthusiasm as you had putting it up. One family member gets ornaments off the tree and mantle, one sorts them, one wraps them, one rolls up the garland, and so on. It makes the work light and much more festive.

6. ADDRESS THE FLOORS. Pine needles and “party central” have most likely snuck into area rugs, under furniture and in the corners of your home. Thoroughly vacuum rugs and carpets and use attachments to capture baseboards and dust bunnies, too. This will prep the backdrop for a fresh start to the new year.

7. ENJOY YOUR SPACIOUS HOME. Once the tree is down, your house will feel like it’s gained another room. Where did all of this extra space come from? Remember this moment, because soon enough you’ll feel like you’re back to being too crowded.

for health, for the presents you received, for the past year, and for the year ahead.

•

Let the process of taking down the holiday decorations be a lesson in gratitude and a tradition for years to come.

If a person has not been exercising, trying to go to a gym can be daunting, and end in defeat in no time. Instead, I challenge my patients to WALK FOR 10 MINUTES EVERY DAY. At the end of a month, get a treat (pedicure, manicure, something fun!). Now, acknowledge that exercise is more about time management and placing health as a priority than it is about energy. Add 10 more minutes every day for another 30 days.

reaking out of a workout routine (or rut) can be tough, but the team at Style decided to jump out of their desks and get moving this month—trying local fitness classes with flair. From belly dancing to boot camp and rock climbing to ninja training, we experienced plenty of sweat, soreness and accomplishment. Here, we guide you through eight of our favorites.

WITH FLAIR Supermen’s Boot Camp

Walking into the studio, Val Fujii, class instructor and owner, warmly greeted me and gave the eight attendees a brief intro (mainly for me since I was the only newbie that day). I thought I was in pretty decent shape, but that feeling was about to be put to the test. As the class began and the music started pumping, Coach Val started us off with some stretching and warm-up exercises, ending with a two-minute plank hold. Ouch! My heart was jumping out of my chest and a sweat broke. We then divided into groups of two and chose a station to start at (there were six total, each with a different exercise to perform). We then spent one minute at each station (30 seconds doing one exercise and another 30 seconds doing a different drill or a variation of the first to mix it up). In total, we completed four circuits and were given a brief water break between each one; if you felt like you needed an extra break or a second to catch your breath you were encouraged to do so. The class was intense—just like you might expect from a “boot camp,” but as far as challenging, it was as challenging as you wanted it to be; the amount of effort you put in was up to you.—GZ Areas of the body most worked: Core, shoulders, arms, hamstrings Length of class: 45 minutes Sweat factor: Drenched but not fully Price: 2x a week camp: $99/month with a 12-month contract, $139/month with a 3-month contract; 3x a week camp: $149/month with a 12-month contract, $179/month with a 3-month contract; Unlimited camp: $229/month (no contract) 36 stylemg.com - January 2014

AIRobics Endurance Sky High Sports Rancho Cordova, sacramento.jumpskyhigh.com It was love at first bounce. As I stepped onto my trampoline square for the AIRobics Endurance class, I was transported back to grade school, when I’d wile the afternoons away hopping my heart out. The class started off with a warm-up before moving into bouncing intervals—Mario jumps, butt kicks, low-high knees, froggy jumps and sky jacks. After doing planks and push-ups (hello abs and upper body), “jumping” laps around the conjoined trampolines, and partnering up for ball tosses, it was time to bring out the Sky Bands for resistance training. My arms and back began feeling the burn in no time. The 50-minute session ended with another round of planks and bouncing intervals, before a much-needed cooldown. Thanks to the small class size, our upbeat instructor gave us plenty of individualized attention and positive reinforcement. According to Sky High’s website, one hour of jumping on a trampoline burns 1,000 calories and is a low-impact, fat-burning exercise that improves balance and coordination. A thousand calories or not, one thing is certain: This workout has plenty of bounce and will leave you sweating and smiling simultaneously.—MW Areas of the body most worked: Every class offers a full-body workout (choose from “Speed,” “Strength,” “Endurance,” and “All-Around”), but the “Endurance” focuses on the core and keeping the heart rate up Length of class: 50 minutes Sweat factor: Sweaty, but not completely soaked Price: $7/drop-in or $60 for 10 classes

Core Elements

Fitness Solutions Diamond Springs, fitnesssolutions4u.net I was unsure what to expect when meeting with Joy Slavin for her class at the beautifully styled Fitness Solutions in Diamond Springs. Joy and I spoke briefly before class about my current shape, injuries and previous health concerns, completed some paperwork, and then jumped right into the workout. After two quick laps around the complex, followed by two more laps of a combo of side steps, high-knees, frog-leaps and sprints, and a few minutes on the stairs—the real fun began. The class broke up into groups and participants worked their way through stations inside the studio, focusing on isolated core exercises. Joy had us using a variety of exercise tools (TRX straps, yoga/exercise balls and Bosu balls) and varied exercises. After a couple of rounds at each station, we moved to the floor mats for more core development and a cooldown. Joy said the class “routine” is anything but a routine; rather, she likes to vary things to keep the body constantly adapting. Being my first structured workout in a few years, I was sadly shown up by all the other participants, but left encouraged by Joy and fellow classmates.—AR Areas of the body most worked: Concentration on core and overall cardio Length of class: 60 minutes (15-minute warm-up; 45-minute workout) Sweat factor: Winded and wet Price: $15/drop-in class or $40/four classes January 2014 - stylemg.com 37

TRITIED Local Fitness Classes WITH FLAIR

THE STUDIO Martial Arts & Fitness Roseville, trainatthestudio.com I’ve been working out at THE STUDIO for four years and have taken all kinds of fitness/kickboxing classes, but nothing like this one. When I heard it was a Ninja training class the first thing that came to mind was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But, alas, turtle power would not be the purpose of this class; achieving the ability to do what I did in second grade became my goal. What did I do in second grade? The monkey bars—they’re a lot different to navigate at 58 years old than they were when I was eight, that’s for sure. Who knew I couldn’t swing from bar to bar anymore, jump over a four-foot bag, climb a rock wall, or do pull-ups? Although my body has said “no” to going back to second grade, I am able to do things I haven’t done in years. And those monkey bars? So far I’ve been able to swing to two bars, but am working on the third. This class is by invitation only—you have to be able to do at least one pull-up and be in good health. If you have knee or back problems, it’s not for you. Strength training is important for maintaining bone density, but this class also incorporates cardio, ab work and balancing. Have you ever seen American Ninja Warrior? Consider this your starter course. It’s challenging but the sense of accomplishment makes it worthwhile.—DL Areas of the body most worked: Arms, back and core, with additional focus on legs and abs Length of class: 45 minutes Sweat factor: Since there’s less cardio and more strength training, you aren’t fully drenched but you do work up a sweat Price: Check with THE STUDIO for details 38 stylemg.com - January 2014

Climbing 101 Granite Arch Rancho Cordova, granitearch.com Entering Granite Arch, I was as clammy as they come; my anxiety about the unknown had gotten the best of me. Thankfully the instructor, Adam, immediately put my nerves at bay. After gearing up it was time to, literally, learn the ropes—from an introduction to the equipment and how to “tie in” to our harness, to belaying (controlling the rope as a climber goes up—and down—the wall, keeping it taut or providing slack) and understanding ratings. Adam continually stressed the importance of safety, communicating with your partner, and common sense. What surprised me the most was the amount of technicality and technique involved in the sport; it’s almost as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. Although the learning curve seemed as steep as the wall in front of me, it wasn’t long before my partner and I were ascending the faux mountain—and feeling the burn. In two hours, I went from a rock-climbing rookie to having a new hobby. Besides being a great workout, there’s no doubt the sport brings camaraderie, confidence and a healthy dose of fun.—MW Areas of the body most worked: Forearms, core, hands/ fingers, back, shoulders Length of class: 120 minutes Sweat factor: You’ll feel the burn but not get super sweaty Price: $35/non-member; $15/member; NOTE: This class requires advance registration and includes gear rental

Ninja Obstacle Course

Strengthening Dance Drills & Flexibility Class Omi Mahina Tribal Fusion Belly Dance Roseville, facebook.com/omimahinadance If you’re looking to build confidence and perhaps bring a little of your sexy back, this class is for you. Lindsey Stewart Plumer, my instructor, is an experienced dancer who has concentrated on belly dancing for the past few years and is absolutely amazing. She stresses that you don’t need to be a natural dancer to thrive in her class, just practice. By the end, you’ll learn a few staple belly-dancing moves, such as the “Egyptian Shimmy,” and be able to put together your own small routine. The fast-paced tempo of the tribal music will have you shimmying your way to a fun cardio workout.—JW Areas of the body most worked: Abs, obliques, shoulders, lower back Length of class: 60 minutes Sweat factor: Increase in heart rate, but no sweat Price: $15/drop-in class or $40/four classes

Zuda Yoga Locations in Folsom, Roseville and Midtown zudayoga.com Crawling out of bed at 5:37 a.m., I can barely open my eyes to get dressed and brush my teeth, let alone drive to Zuda. Thankfully I stay awake at the wheel and as soon as I walk into the studio, I’m greeted by warmth (the room is kept at approximately 90 degrees), upbeat music and friendly faces of about 20 other yogis. The class starts out slow (in a resting pose), but builds steadily to be almost dance-like. Linking breath with movement, we flow through sun salutation A, before getting into the rhythm of an energetic sequence. Before I can say “namaste,” sweat is dripping down my face and every other orifice of my body. After an intense ab sequence and “relaxing” hip opener, it’s time for savasana (final rest). Toxins twisted out and balance in check, I feel wide-awake (both literally and figuratively) and ready to take on the world— or maybe just the day.—MW Areas of the body most worked: Core, legs, hips, upper body, shoulders Length of class: 60 minutes Sweat factor: Fully drenched; shower needed immediately after Price: 30 days for $30/new students; $16/drop-in class; monthly unlimited yoga and other class passes available

Mixed Class The Dailey Method Locations in Folsom and Roseville, thedaileymethod.com This challenging class utilizes a combo of ballet barre work, core conditioning, muscle strengthening and yoga, and yields instant results! Immediately after the 60 minutes were up, I felt longer and leaner—just as the studio’s slogan says. With a bright, open space, skilled peers and the encouragement of my instructor and studio co-owner, Sandra Lemos, The Dailey Method was a wonderful way to start my morning. As a former track athlete this is exactly the kind of workout I’d been looking for: low-impact, strengthening, and an improvement in flexibility. Throughout the class you gain a mastery of your body as muscles that you may not have known you had before are isolated and worked. You will leave each class walking tall and toned, with your mind and body perfectly aligned.—JW Areas of the body most worked: Obliques, hips, thighs, back Length of class: 60 minutes Sweat factor: A trickle of sweat Price: $18/drop-in class

sun valley, idaho World-Class Fun in the Winter Sun by Audrey Medina

Sun Valley

un Valley Resort brought Hollywood glam to small-town Idaho when it opened on December 21, 1936. The country’s first destination ski resort attracted movie stars, Olympic hopefuls and visitors from around the world, but the little towns of Hailey and Ketchum stayed true to their ranching and mining roots—sheepherders and their border collies still trail sheep through Ketchum on the way to winter pasture, chefs are putting an international spin on local ingredients, and there’s hardly a chain store in sight. Arriving by plane wasn’t quite as grand as arriving by the train from Boise like some other guests, but with an early flight, a short stopover in Salt Lake City, and a time zone switch, I landed just in time for lunch.

Sun Valley Lodge Pool

No expense was spared when Sun Valley Lodge was built. Enormous windows in the lobby and second floor lounge immediately pulled me toward views of the outdoor ice rink and surrounding mountains. My room, filled with French oak furniture and rich floral patterns, had the same elegance and warmth that the lobby promised. Photos of Lucille Ball, Gary Cooper, Picabo Street, Kristie Yamaguchi and hundreds of other stars lined the hallways and kept me wandering, eventually leading me to the spa, the bowling alley and the outdoor heated pool. Skiing is the main attraction here, but dazzling outdoor ice shows, sleigh rides and a village full of shopping and dining options make it difficult to stay on the slopes all day. Looking for convenience just a few blocks from downtown Ketchum, I found a sophisticated spin on comfort at the Knob Hill Inn. When new owners remodeled a couple of years ago, guests got oversized tubs (complete with bowls of bath salts) perfect for soaking on cold nights, walk-in showers, radiant floor heating, and an expanded complimentary breakfast bar (try the breakfast pizza and fresh muffins). Touches of rustic iron and wood accent the sleek brown and gray interiors, the rooms are large, views of Bald Mountain 48 stylemg.com - January 2014

are stunning, and the staff bend over backwards to make you feel at home.

APRÉS-SKI, OR APRÉSLUNCH For a crash course in local sheep ranching and skiing culture, pop into the Ketchum Sun Valley Heritage and Ski Museum. Ketchum’s most famous resident, Ernest Hemingway, spent the fall here for many years, leaving bits of his legacy all around town. Look for him in the back room/vault of the Visitor’s Center (photos and a desk), a nice display in the library, his memorial at Sun Valley Resort, and his grave in the cemetery. Sun Valley has a vibrant arts community, and downtown Ketchum is filled with galleries and public art projects. Internationally known contemporary artists, traditional western painters, and even indigenous Australian artists are all well represented here. Sun Valley Center for the Arts and the NexStage Theatre offer a continuous stream of exhibits, plays and cultural events that will appease even hard-core culture vultures. If you’re looking for bargains and vintage treasure, several consignment stores and the Gold Mine Thrift Store are filled with quality clothing and household goods. Deja Vu specializes in estate jewelry and vintage couture, but be prepared to pay top dollar. Get a massage or any other service at Zenergy, and the place is yours for the day, including a heated swim-out saltwater pool, eucalyptus steam room, indoor tennis, and drop-in yoga and fitness classes. Zenergy recently doubled their size, and

with 48,000 square feet of health and wellness treatments, you could spend your entire trip blissing out.

CARB UP Shorty’s Diner. Packed with Beatles, Elvis and other ’50s memorabilia, this Hailey breakfast and lunch spot serves everything from huevos rancheros to lox and bagels. Try the cinnamon French toast with a corn flake crust, and don’t leave without tasting Shorty’s thick, but very tender bacon. Bald Mountain, a.k.a. “Baldy” CK’s Real Food. Chris Kastner already had a large Sun Valley following when he opened his own space in Hailey. Combining his love of world cuisines with locally sourced ingredients, Chef Chris keeps his menus fresh and eclectic. Snake River Kobe beef, antipasti hummus, and lamb vindaloo are just a few of many surprises in his constantly growing repertoire. Enoteca. Modern industrial décor creates an intimate dining space in Ketchum’s historic mercantile building. Have fun pairing wood-fired pizzas, small plates of house cured meats, or Idaho trout and lamb entrées with a spectacular selection of Northwest, California, French and Italian wines. Michel’s Christiania. Ernest Hemingway had his own table in this cathedral of French cuisine. The menu offers classics like escargot and foie gras, as well as local lamb, trout and beef dishes. The wine list here is staggering, but the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere will convince you to stay and try a few varieties.

taste WINTER CAULIFLOWER SALAD From The Glorious Vegetables of Italy by Domenica Marchetti (Chronicle Books, 2013, $30) Although you can enjoy this salad at any time of year, I find that its refreshing crunch is especially welcome in winter, when the foods we (or at least I) eat tend to be of the rich, stick-to-your-ribs sort, such as stews and braises, or oozy baked pasta dishes.

Place a steamer basket in a large saucepan and fill the pan with water up to but not touching the bottom of the basket. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Arrange the cauliflower in the steamer basket, cover, and steam until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl. Add the celery, olives, parsley, garlic, onion, roasted tomatoes and Chile pepper and toss gently but thoroughly. Sprinkle the lemon zest and lemon juice over the salad. Season with the salt and toss again. Drizzle in the olive oil, starting with 1⁄4 cup and adding more if you like. Cover the salad and let it marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate until chilled if you prefer it cold. Right before serving, fold in the cheese. Makes 6 to 8 servings. COOK’S NOTE: Any or all of the following items would make good additions to the salad: sliced carrots, sliced fennel bulb, roasted peppers or diced salami. 52 stylemg.com - January 2014

dinner date Food and Wine for the Season 2011 JOEL GOTT 815 CABERNET SAUVIGNON Joel Gott comes from five generations of California winemakers. Although his parents started the Sierra foothill winery Montevina, Joel, too, has made a name for himself. He started at Kenwood Winery, then moved on to gourmet foods, and eventually started Gott’s Roadside in Napa Valley. He now owns three burger restaurants and his own winery—Joel Gott Wines. His first wine was a Zinfandel sourced from the foothills; after receiving rave reviews from both Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate, he earned his place on the map. Joel continues to receive remarkable scores for all his wines—an amazing feat considering they’re all so reasonably priced. The 2011 Joel Gott 815 Cabernet Sauvignon (named for his first daughter’s birthday—August 15) is truly a fabulous wine at a fabulous price (it retails for under $15 a bottle). It has aromas of cherries, blackberries and vanilla, with enough tannin to keep a true Cabernet drinker happy, plus a soft, velvety finish that says, “Drink me now!” The fruit for this wine is sourced from Napa, Sonoma, Lodi, Lake County and Paso Robles. After harvest, the wine from each area is aged for over a year, separately in oak, and then all are blended together—making the best wine possible. —Richard Righton Owner, 36 Handles and Relish Burger Bar

Tom’s on Fire by Tom Mailey

hat’s it. I’m done wallowing in relative anonymity. No offense to Style or my main employer, Sacramento’s finest country radio station, KNCI, but there is a whole other level of notoriety out there and I think I want in on it. So, after much careful thought over the last 10 or 15 minutes, I’ve decided the quickest and easiest way to “grow my brand” is to pretty much create a scandal. In fact, it’s my New Year’s resolution. See, spectacle is the new spectacular. Shock, the new awe. The straight and narrow has worked fine for me to this point but I can’t help thinking there’s a whole other level out there...a new altitude with a better view. And by that of course, I mean your view of me. This is going to be great because in 66 stylemg.com - January 2014

the old days, creating success required genuine talent; plus you had to be hard working, charming, driven and lucky. But what worked for Tom Hanks isn’t going to work for Tom Mailey—mostly because Tom Mailey lacks every single quality that Tom Hanks has. But thankfully, there’s a whole generation of celebrities who have shown that all you really need to create is controversy. Just commit a few undignified offenses, preferably within shooting distance of a reality TV camera or a telephoto lens, and you should be good to go. If you can just shed self-consciousness like an old bathrobe, before you know it you’ll be streaking down your own personal street of dreams with ev-

eryone watching…and Tweeting about it. Of course, this formula isn’t anything revolutionary. It’s been going on since Elvis’ hips got a little too out of control for The Ed Sullivan Show. But thanks to the Internet and reality TV, it’s all so much more incendiary now—just what you need to ignite your own flash in the pan. There are several approaches one can take. You can go the “what the hell happened to him?” route and Botox your face until the skin’s so tight every time you sneeze you sound like a kazoo. If you’re trying to forever shatter an innocent image, start by going on national TV and shattering the innocent image of something like a “number one” foam finger. Tired of not being taken seriously as a badass, even if your face still has more peach fuzz than whiskers? Smoke weed on Instagram, then take a whiz in some janitor’s mop bucket and in no time your name will be soaring into the troposphere on gossip’s humid updrafts. And there’s more: public drunkenness, filing ridiculous lawsuits, filing ridiculous lawsuits while publicly drunk, punching out cameramen, divorcing to marry, marrying to divorce, naming your kid after a tropical fruit, going on social media and being stupid, mean or Charlie Sheen; wearing clothing made of raw meat, cooking that meat then wearing it again…the possibilities are endless. The only limit is how far you’re willing to go. So if over the course of the next year I get slugged in the mouth by Kenny Chesney for asking him when he thinks he’ll be tall enough to go on all the rides at Disneyland, or I “accidentally” forget to put on shorts when I go for a jog, or I spend a weekend downing boxed wine and then sue our cat for being emotionally distant, don’t sweat it. It’s just me, working on my brand.
