o you remember the movie Dazed and Confused ? Maybe I shouldn’t admit this, but I love that flick. As a teen, my summer breaks played out similarly (not exactly!) to the plot of this “coming of age” comedy starring Matthew McConaughey and Jason London, among other nowüber-famous folks. But instead of just one day, like in the movie, my reel kept playing until just before reality beckoned me back, back to school that is. Warm summer nights spent out and about, cruising the small-town streets of Nixa, MO, with my closest girlfriends, heading to bonfires and backyard parties—life seemed sublime. My summers today are surprisingly similar, with these exceptions: I still have to go to work every weekday; I have a child and fiancé; I don’t own any high-waisted pants; and I don’t have a bong. I’m sure there are a few more variances, but you get the point. What remains the same nowadays is my affinity for frolicking with friends outdoors at summer concerts, backyard barbecues and camping getaways. I have not lost my inner-teen; rather, I now embrace her spontaneity by balancing her out with my 30-something wisdom. Welcome back your inner-teen this summer, and pretend, even if for just a moment, that you are 16 again. Whatever your pleasure—grooving to music at local summer concerts, chowing down on funnel cakes at one of the multiple county fairs, or exploring new campgrounds—you’ll find it easy to be young at heart with Style’s annual Summer Fun Guide, this year with “75+ cool ways to take a break,” along with cocktail recipes and great local bars with patios to boot. If you’d like your teen (or tween) to avoid a summer setup like that of the aforementioned movie, now’s a good time to add some balance to their summer-long soirée by introducing them to the benefits of philanthropy. In this month’s Our Kids, Linda Holderness gives you plenty of options for getting your kid involved in giving back—you’ll be surprised to see how many organizations need extra hands, even if they’re younger than most. While your high schooler is saving the planet, you can indulge your sweet tooth and keep cool at the same time. Just check out “The Hit List” in Local Matters for Style staffers’ five favorite local frozen treats. If you like what you see on the cover, flip to the page now for even more. Until next month—let your hair down, eat some ice cream (or gelato or frozen yogurt) and find yourself somewhere fun! FOLLOW US ONLINE: — Desiree

Q&A Q: What advice would you give to your younger self? A: Your children’s youth is very fleeting—make time to spend with them…everything else can wait. Q: What comes to you naturally? A: Making connections with others. I still remember my elementary school P.E. teacher calling me out in front of the entire class, saying I was the biggest “busybody” she knew. I was shocked—I thought everyone was interested in knowing about others. Q: What’s your biggest pet peeve? A: Environmental irresponsibility. Q: What are you most proud of? A: My two young adult children, Ben and Kate.
ita Gordon may have grown up on a 16-acre farm in Michigan, but she didn’t start gardening until adulthood. “I took up gardening as a means to reduce my own grocery bill,” Gordon explains. But she didn’t think to apply her gardening skills to help others until she began traveling abroad with her late husband, A. Lee Gordon III, M.D., a surgeon who volunteered his time training other surgeons in the developing world. Although he passed away in 2007, he instilled a passion in Gordon to help those less fortunate. Eventually Gordon met her now-fiancé, Doug Anderson, and relocated with him to Northern California where she started her own photography business. Gordon soon joined the Rotary Club of Roseville and began 10 stylemg.com - June 2014
plotting ways to put her gardening knowledge to use. Enter the Rotary Community Garden— an all-volunteer troupe of gardeners working on .2 acres of land generously donated by Otow Orchards. In its flagship year, the group harvested more than 2,000 pounds of food to donate to the Placer Food Bank. Continuing to do their part, the Rotary will man a “fireworks booth” within the Placer Center Plaza Shopping Center parking lot during the first week of July to help raise funds for the garden and other community service projects. “It’s fun to see the community come together in new ways,” Gordon shares. “The garden is a low-tech cause we can all do something to support.” — Amber Foster
Q: Best words of wisdom you’ve received? A: “Follow your heart’s desire—our minds are a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.”
FAVORITES Author/writer: Malcolm Gladwell Escape: Hiking with my camera Meal in town: Anything prepared in my kitchen Movie: Big Musician/band: Bruce Springsteen (and many others) Annual event: Rotary Club of Roseville’s Garbolino Seafood Dinner Saying: “If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space.”

season’s eatings
PlacerGROWN and Foothill Farmers’ Market
What’s in Season: Summer Squash Three cheers for summer: warm days, vacations and summer squash! While its name indicates availability for just a few short months, the term “summer squash” actually refers to the vegetables’ short storage life and not its availability. Summer squash is a subset of squash that’s harvested when the rind is tender and immature. There are several varieties of the veggie, including zucchini, crookneck or yellow squash, and pattypan squash, which are usually a bit sweeter than other varieties. Summer squash is a relative to winter squash, melons and cucumbers. With its delicate flavor and soft skin and flesh, summer squash is a perfect addition to a summer meal. And, because it’s comprised of 95-percent water, it only has 19 calories per cup! What this squash lacks in caloric content is compensated for with nutrition, offering ample amounts of folacin, vitamins A and C, fiber and manganese.
SELECTION AND STORAGE To find a perfect, flavor-packed squash, look for one that is heavy, brightly colored and unblemished. Bigger is not better when it comes to squash selection: Extra-large squash can be fibrous, while ones that are too small won’t offer optimum taste. Most varieties tend to be fragile and should be handled with care, as small punctures can lead to decay. Squash is best stored unwashed in an airtight container in the refrigerator where it can be kept fresh for up to seven days.
HOW TO PAIR WITH WINE Foothill Syrah (Pescatore, Secret Ravine and Mt. Vernon all make excellent ones)—which has a ripe berry nose that continues onto the palate and then develops into lovely spice 12 stylemg.com - June 2014
DID YOU KNOW? The best way to get the most nutrients and antioxidants from summer squash is to steam it, as opposed to boiling or microwaving, and to eat the whole vegetable including the skin and seeds. Grilling or sautéing are other cooking options; or, try eating it raw (thinly sliced) atop a salad or sandwich, or served with a favorite dip.
characteristics with notes of clove and rose hips—is the perfect wine to complement both summer squash and lamb (found in this month’s Roast Leg of Lamb with Ratatouille recipe; to view it, visit stylemg.com). Sautéed summer squash, with its slight sweetness, along with the combination of the eggplant and tomatoes, truly lends itself to the classic characteristics of Syrah. For the recipe to make Roast Leg of Lamb with Ratatouille, visit stylemg.com. — Susan Belknap For details on where to buy Placer County farm-fresh produce, wine, meat and local products, visit placergrown.org.

Trademark Pizza Company
inally, a build-your-own pizza place has arrived—a locale where customers can create custom pies without compromising on their favorite flavor combinations. It’s surprising the concept of Trademark Pizza Company, one that seems so natural, so obvious, didn’t pop up years ago. Perhaps the pizza Gods were waiting to anoint someone like Michael Sanson, the owner, to execute the idea as flawlessly as he has. I recently tried Trademark with a buddy post-workout. The place works like an efficient conveyer belt. The first order of business is deciding between regular or gluten-free crust. Customers then proceed to add their choice of cheeses and toppings, of which they have an extraordinary number. By the end, I had an 11-Inch pizza with mozzarella, mushrooms, pineapple, spinach, onions, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts and sausage. Before I finished filling my lemonade, they were calling my name. Trademark has a stone-deck oven that cooks at 800 degrees—making the wait time approximately three minutes and providing a perfectly crisp crust. We sat at one of the sleek wood tables, enjoying the fresh fillings. The best part? Neither of us spent over $10.

re you in need of a night out with your girlfriends? The Rocklin Area Chamber of Commerce has you covered! In order to spotlight women business leaders in the area, they will once again host their much-anticipated event, Glitz, Glamour & Girlfriends, all while providing women in the community with a fun night out. Stop by the pool at Thunder Valley Casino Resort on Thursday, June 26 from 6-9 p.m. to eat, drink, dance and shop. Fund Development Director at the Rocklin Area Chamber of Commerce, Amanda Clemens, encourages women ages 21 and over to “Sip wine, savor delectable bites, shop local boutiques, mingle with cabana guys and enjoy a fabulous fashion show!” Tickets start at $50 but specials are available in which a single cabana—with a personal cabana guy and champagne (ooh la la!)—can be rented for up to eight women. Perhaps the best part of the event is that a portion of proceeds will benefit the Placer SPCA. It’s never been easier to show support for the local community!

Rocklin Community Theatre The Crowd Goes Wild by LeeAnn Dickson
R
ocklin Community Theatre (RCT) at the Finnish Temperance Hall is one of the best-kept secrets in town; or, as RCT Production Manager Robbie Wanamaker says, “We are the greatest little theatre company that no one has ever heard of!” The historic Finnish Temperance Hall, located along Rocklin Road at the corner of South Grove Street, is one of the city’s most iconic symbols. Built 110 years ago and restored in 1989, the stunning space has supported live theatre for 25 years. “Live theatre is a wonderfully three-dimensional experience,” says RCT Board Member and performer Rob Hayes. “It’s an important cultural anchor for our community.” However, in 2009, without a few passionate residents’ immediate commitment to keeping the footlights burning, the final curtain would have fallen. Due to budgetary cutbacks in the City of Rocklin’s arts
20 stylemg.com - June 2014
programs, the community theatre program was eliminated. “[Thankfully], we had all of the right people in place to keep going and formed RCT,” says Founding Board Member Michelle Hayes. “It was a scramble to keep putting on consecutive shows.” Fortunately, they’ve been more than successful and currently present at least six shows per year. RCT produces mostly musical theatre and is one of only a few local production companies featuring a live orchestra. Wanamaker, who also serves as orchestra coordinator and drummer for the group, says, “We have a live orchestra for nearly every production. It’s a huge challenge and we’re proud of our investment in music.” Don’t miss next month’s production of the on-and-off-Broadway hit Urinetown, a teen production that’s a futuristic farce about a water-shortage-causing drought and the crazy ideas on how to control usage. The musical spoofs and parodies other
well-known comedic and dramatic musicals. “We are constrained by the space we occupy; however, we continue to make the theatre experience innovative and fun,” Michelle says. Offerings run from children’s workshops to adult-auditioned musicals. “We have singers, dancers and actors from all over the region coming to audition,” Ron shares. “The quality of our productions is very high and our ‘real community theatre’ is widely recognized in the area.” Buying a ticket and seeing the show is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. “We are a true grassroots operation,” Ron says. “We depend on volunteers for every aspect of each production.” From producers, directors and costumers, all the way to the snack bar attendant, dedicated volunteers are passionate about RCT. “We really appreciate the support Rocklin and the surrounding communities give RCT,” Michelle says. While RCT enjoys nearly sold-out shows for each production, they need more than ticket sales to support the theatre. Although they have a few individual donors, they’re seeking more, in addition to corporate sponsors. Look for their first annual fund-raiser this year: the Phantom Fireworks Stand!

he said/she said 5 Tips for Growing a Great Relationship by Dr. Debra Moore
T
his is a beautiful time of the year—sunny days, warm evenings and a profusion of blooms! Every landscaper knows the best gardens result from informed choices, careful planning and meticulous tending. Apply the same strategies to your relationships with these 5 tips from the garden.
1. PREPARE THE SOIL PROPERLY AND CLEAR OUT UNDERBRUSH. The best relationships are built on a foundation of thoughtful prepa-
ration. Timing is important—gardeners know that soil has to “rest” between crops so that nutrients can rebuild. People need the same recovery time between relationships. Be sure you allow time for selfrestoration; “rebound” relationships often fail because they are built upon depleted ground. Clear out that negative energy so it doesn’t contaminate your newly planted garden.
2. WEED REGULARLY. We know all gardens have weeds, so why should we be surprised when our relationships sprout unwanted “weeds,” too? Instead of ignoring them (they won’t go away by themselves!), get out your tools and carefully target them. Folks tend to react to relationship weeds one of three ways: They deny their existence (which causes proliferation, and before you know it, they’re everywhere); they attack them so aggressively that they cause collateral damage to valued parts of your garden; or—hopefully—they judiciously and ever so gently isolate and remove them. And yes, they keep coming back. That’s okay, just check your garden consistently: Weeds and relationship challenges are easiest to overcome when they’re caught small, before more damage is done.
3. DON’T FORGET THE FERTILIZER. Few gardens do well without regular, extra boosts of nutrients. If you want a showcase garden, you have to regularly help it out and give it an added edge. Same for relationships—they need regular infusions of special attention, nurturing and time. A master gardener knows that waiting until plants are visibly tired is often too late. Even when everything is “coming up roses,” relationships need continuous nurturing so they’re strong and fortified for every season.
4. BE WILLING TO GET DIRTY. How silly would it be if a gardener thought they were above getting dirty? It’s a mandatory part of the job description. The same goes for relationships. Intimacy is dirty, and authentic emotions are messy. There are lots of thorns to be found on some of the most beautiful flowers.
What’s the point of all the effort of preparing and toiling in the garden if you don’t allow time to appreciate and admire it? Sometimes in relationships, we put the hard work in but then get so busy that we rarely stop and immerse ourselves in the bounty. Slow down—honor what you have created—and enjoy it together.

Toft Facial Plastic Surgery Kenneth M. Toft, M.D. 959 Reserve Dr. | Roseville 916-782-8638 | www.toftfacialsurgery.com Kenneth M. Toft, M.D. is the Director of Toft Facial Plastic Surgery in Roseville, California. He dedicates 100% of his practice to facial cosmetic surgery. This is in contrast to many surgeons that perform liposuction and breast augmentation, who can spend as little as 20% of their time on the face. Complete dedication to facial plastic surgery is very important for several reasons: the complex anatomy of the face, the need to keep up with the latest techniques of facial rejuvenation, and the importance of facial features in defining individuality. The results of facial plastic surgery are not hidden under clothes; they are seen every day by friends in public and by oneself in the mirror. For these reasons, only the most specialized and highly trained facial plastic surgeon should be selected. Throughout his career Dr. Toft has demonstrated a commitment to excellence. Dr. Toft graduated from college in the top 3% and medical school in the top 10% of his class at the University of Michigan. He then underwent surgical training at Stanford University, with four years completely focused on the face and
neck. Dr. Toft was then selected to be a UCLA Clinical Instructor in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery where he studied with world experts in cosmetic surgery. In 2000, Dr. Toft moved to the Sacramento area to become the Medical Director of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Mercy San Juan and to open the Toft Facial Plastic Surgery Center. Dr. Toft believes the goal of cosmetic surgery is to create improvement while maintaining a natural and balanced appearance. This natural appearance is achieved through the use of modern techniques to make his patients look younger, refreshed, and healthy, never overdone or “operated.” The natural balance of facial features is what creates identity, displays emotion, and establishes level of health. Because each face is different, the goals of surgery for each person is individualized. Dr. Toft draws on his extensive training, aesthetic sense, and personal touch to achieve better balance and improved symmetry for all of his patients’ unique facial features.

mission that appeals to them or by initiating their own benevolent projects. When coming up with ideas, get creative. With TerraCycle (terracycle.com), for example, kids can turn their trash— traditionally non-recycled waste like drink pouches, chip bags and toothbrushes—into treasures (think recycled park benches and upcycled backpacks). Young ones who sing, play a musical instrument, or do magic tricks are warmly welcomed to perform for seniors in retirement homes. The residents love to be entertained, especially by youths. Or, have your child summon their friends together to pick up trash from a neighborhood park. Web-savvy teens could offer an invaluable service—and beef up their own resumes, too—by setting up a small charity’s website. Agencies that frequently use young volunteers include hospitals (check out Sutter Roseville’s Junior Auxiliary program for those ages 16 and up), Habitat for Humanity, United Way, the American Red Cross, Ronald McDonald House, animal shelters (such as FieldHaven Feline Center; must volunteer with an adult), food banks (the Placer County Food Bank welcomes young volunteers to help in the garden or sort food), libraries, Special Olympics and Goodwill Industries (their GoodGuide Youth program accepts volunteers ages 12-17). The residents of Eskaton Village Roseville enjoy having kids of all ages visit, says Activities Director Tammie Medlin. Ages 12 and up are welcome to call bingo, help in the garden, put up holiday decorations, play games and music, or do puzzles with residents. One young volunteer even wrote a book of residents’ biographies to keep at the site, and another group put together a game night. Placer SPCA is run by the power of more than 1,000 active volunteers (must be at least 13 years old with a parent present), according to Volunteer Program Manager Cathi Meyers. The organization finds homes for shelter animals, assists with spaying and neutering, and generally supports animals’ care. Kids who can’t come in can make toys, blankets, treats, adoption bags and scratching pads to donate, or collect cans for recycling (a prime source of income). Kids (ages 14-17) can also work in the Placer SPCA Thrift Store without a parent.

L
ucky enough to live in the Golden State, we’re always looking for ways to leverage outdoor square footage as an extension of our interior space. Backyards, side yards and porch areas provide valuable real estate that can beautifully merge style and utility. Check out the following tips to maximize the roles these areas play.
FOYER Think of this area as the grand entry to your property, linking the interior and exterior living spaces. • Highlight your entrance and doorway area by adding a splash of color at the entrance. • Think of your doormat as the “flooring” to your entry. Consider natural fibers to provide an organic feel and gracious welcome. • Add planters to soften your home’s exterior. Interesting, textural plants displayed in zinc, concrete or colored pottery containers greet guests and passersby.
SIDE YARD While some may feel a side yard is too small to pay much attention to when planning outdoor designs, it can be an intimate space for herbs, vegetables or a small bistro table setting. • Raised beds lend order and structure to any kitchen garden. Depending on the dimensions, they can also be kid-and grandparent-friendly, so be thoughtful about height and yard placement. • Reclaim unused indoor seating pieces and place them outside for dining al fresco. A fresh coat of paint on a side table can add unexpected color and character outdoors. • Add some Italian white lights to your side area to further create ambiance and an alternative light source.
california living Easy Ways to Expand Outdoor Space by Kerrie L. Kelly, ASID
Even if there isn’t room for a huge dining set, nestling in a couple chairs makes for a nice lounge space. An overhead trellis can bring the inside out, and allow for a ceiling fan to move air around. • Consider a green wall as a privacy buffer via potted plants or vertical trellis applications. • Crushed rock is a versatile, low-maintenance and affordable solution for creating pathways and furniture landings. Just as we often see in the Napa Valley, when pebbled paths are incorporated, another layer of texture and interest is created. • Allow for moveable furnishings to accommodate smaller or larger parties. Indoor/outdoor performance fabrics not only add color, but softness and durability to seating and dining areas, too.
EXTRA SPACE What better use for a slim strip of land than a European-inspired bocce ball court? Get family and guests out from in front of the big-screen TV and encourage a little friendly competition with a classic game. • Enclose an area by planting a dense lavender, grass or boxwood border to create a sensory experience. • Use candles and lanterns to create a mood for all to participate in outdoor games. Should you have enough space, a moveable fire pit is always a welcome addition. • Don’t forget to make a simple playlist that can be enjoyed for any outdoor event.

C
rawling out of bed on a recent Saturday, thoughts of eggs, bacon, sausage and waffles danced in my head. Nothing could satisfy my craving but a classic breakfast feast. In no mood to cook, I rallied my mom and we ventured to just the place: Waffle Farm. Fun, wholesome farm décor really added to the diner’s character, giving it an ambiance reminiscent of the Midwest. Seeing the dizzying array of breakfast and lunch offerings—from steak and eggs and scrambles to sandwiches, salads and burgers—almost
My mom enjoyed her food as well, as she became less and less interested in talking and more absorbed in eating her bacon . made me deviate from my original waffle craving. Thankfully, Mom put me back on track by reminding me of the Farm’s name. I opted for the “Waffle Deluxe Combination Three” and upgraded from a regular to an apple waffle. This combination also came with two eggs, hash browns and a choice of sausage, bacon or ham. I went with half bacon and half sausage—a request that was easily accommodated. My mom ordered the bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast combination (found under “Farm Favorites” on the menu). Our food arrived in a flash—temperature appropriate and in colossal portions. My buttery waffle was golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside with a rich apple compote on top. The sausage was juicy and the panfried hash browns were crispy—just the way I like them—and they complemented the sweetness of my waffle perfectly. My mom enjoyed her food as well, as she became less and less interested in talking and more absorbed in eating her bacon. Finally, we reached the point of stuffed and allowed our stomachs to settle as we sipped our coffees and properly caught up on conversation previously hushed by chewing. With generous portions of all-American fare, we left fueled up, happy, and ready for the weekend ahead.

taste CAVOLINI AL FORNO
As the name suggests, Brussels sprouts hail from Belgium, where these tender buds have been cultivated for centuries. But sadly, they’re nowhere near as popular as their culinary compatriot: Belgian waffles. I get it: Most people prefer syrup-drenched breakfast cakes to vegetables. Obviously, they haven’t yet tried roasted Brussels sprouts tossed in sharp mustard vinaigrette and topped with prosciutto chips and sieved egg. This hearty Italian side will convert even the staunchest sprouts hater. Personally, I can’t get enough of ‘cavolini al forno’ (sprouts in the oven)—I often add extra ‘porkitos’ and eggs so I can enjoy an entréesized portion of this dish. Mustard Vinaigrette • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil • 2 tsp. aged balsamic vinegar • 2 tsp. Dijon-style mustard • 2 tsp. minced shallot • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt • Freshly ground black pepper Brussels Sprouts • 2 lbs. Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved • 3 tbsp. melted ghee • Kosher salt • Freshly ground black pepper • 4 porkitos, crumbled (crispy prosciutto chips; for recipe, visit stylemg.com) • 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and pushed through a sieve 1. If you haven’t made a batch of porkitos yet, hop to it—especially if you’ve only got one oven. 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees with the rack in the middle position. Then, combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a jar. Seal tightly and shake well.
dinner date Food and Beer for the Season 3. Toss the Brussels sprouts with melted ghee and season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the sprouts in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast for 35 minutes or until browned on the outside and tender on the inside, rotating the tray and flipping the sprouts at the midpoint. (If you don’t have hard-boiled eggs handy, now’s the perfect time to make some.) 4. Toss the Brussels sprouts with the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Plate the sprouts, add a sprinkle of crumbled porkitos and garnish with the sieved eggs. Taste and adjust for seasoning; serve immediately. Serves 6.
LAGUNITAS LITTLE SUMPIN’ SUMPIN’ ALE Tony Magee founded Lagunitas Brewing Company—known for their radical interpretations of traditional beer styles and cheeky, descriptive text on their packaging—in 1993. Since the mid-2000s, this Petaluma brewery has been one of the fastest growing craft breweries in the U.S., currently ranking as the country’s fifth largest. Lagunitas Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ is a filtered American pale wheat ale with 7.5-percent alcohol by volume (ABV) that packs a punch of hops, along with refreshing notes of grapefruit and pine. Fans of IPAs and wheat beers will approve both of the beer’s silky body and strong finish—especially when paired with this month’s recipe of Cavolini Al Forno. —Heather Zamarripa, Executive Chef, 36 Handles Pub & Eatery

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Nurse Next Door provides in-home care services for the elderly and those in need. Our goal is to enable seniors to stay in their homes, thanks to our flexible services that range from two hours per week to around-the-clock care. After owning and then selling another local business involved with elder care, I was drawn to Nurse Next Door’s passion for providing caring, compassionate service. I’m excited to bring our unique style of care to the area! How are you involved with both the community and your customer? Having grown up in Northern California and lived in the Roseville/Granite Bay area for more than 11 years, I’m involved with several community and church organizations. Nurse Next Door is really about helping those in our community, so being involved is important. As a veteran, I reach out to other veterans in the community and offer discounts to them and their families. Where do you go when the going gets tough? I’m an avid hiker and enjoy the great outdoors, so when I want to blow off some steam I head for the hills and all of the great trails we’re fortunate to have nearby. What’s your biggest job perk? Without a doubt, the people we have the privilege of caring for are amazing. Some of the life stories I’ve heard—from the hardships endured during the Great Depression and war years to incredible travels and adventures—are remarkable. And finally, customer service is…? Treating people with the same compassionate care and support that we would provide to our own family and loved ones. We always ask the question, “What did you used to love doing that you no longer can?” and make it our goal to find a way to bring that back into our clients’ lives.

Whether it’s hiking, biking, boating or skiing, there’s always a great adventure right outside the front door. Where do you go when the going gets tough? Upstairs to my gym! Whether I’m jumping on my elliptical, lifting weights or kicking my way through a cross-fit program, the stress dissipates with the sweat. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? I’m a freelance writer and speaker for various businesses and organizations where I Ed Hendricks, MD, and Paula Hendricks, share nutritional information and current trends based on my clinical observations over Nutrition & Wellness Consultant the past 20-plus years in practice.

What? Huh? Could you repeat that?
Said: Bet they would cut those for us. Heard: Bet they have a cut bass forest.
T

Said: You’ll get your order when I do. Heard: You wore a sword too. Said: How long is this gonna take? Heard: Who else has a skin tag? Said: The surface area has to be smooth. Heard: The circus mattress has to be moved. Said: I’m setting up a garage sale. Heard: I need to satisf y my brow set. Said: That’s what I’m saying. Heard: Tappin’ Beyonce.’
a handwritten note. So I’ll hear parts of words but not others, and it happens so quickly that my subconscious—and this was explained to me by an audiologist— reflexively tries to fill in those gaps by instantly offering up what it thought was said. The result is a real-life version of those Internet “Bad Lip Reading” videos. This is where it’s at least a tiny bit entertaining—some of the misinterpretations can be really goofy. In fact, I started keeping track, writing down some of the weirder ones, along with what was actually said. Here’s a glimpse into my world. Said: How far do we have to go? Heard: Bow to your burrito. Said: Did you get the dogs some food? Heard: Did you get a dollar a whip stick?
Said: Did she have another baby? Heard: Missouri NFL baby? More than 20 million Americans have some kind of hearing loss, and that number is growing as the population ages. If you think you might be one, get it checked. Most minor hearing loss can be helped. I keep my fingers crossed that technology will eventually catch up with the kind of loss I have. In the meantime, if I ask you to repeat yourself, please be patient. It’s not that I wasn’t paying attention—I just know there’s no way you made a comment about a “rich kingdom of puppy hills.” And I’d really like to know what you actually have to say.

hose, unfortunately, have become standard phrases in my vocabulary. It’s taken me a long time to admit it: I’m hard of hearing, and not just a little. My low-end hearing is shot, meaning I have a tough time with speaking voices, especially if I’m not looking right at the person who’s speaking to me. I’ve been told by hearing specialists that despite the fact my radio career requires me to wear headphones and attend loud concerts regularly, my particular kind of hearing loss has little to do with listening to loud noises and instead is probably genetic, which makes sense, since my mother had horrible hearing—despite never once attending a Keith Urban concert. I’ve tried hearing aids but so far haven’t had much success—they just seem to amplify everything in the room so that I not only hear what you’re saying to me, but also every other conversation, along with the squeak of some guy’s shoe and the buzzing of a fly in the far corner. For now, I’ve resigned myself to the high probability that this is something I’m going to have to live with. Unfortunately, the same is true for my family and my colleagues—all of whom have occasionally expressed frustration when I ask them to repeat themselves because either I couldn’t make out what they said at all, or, more commonly, I misinterpret it. See, it’s not that I don’t hear anything at all. I do. I hear plenty. As I type this I can hear the coffee maker behind me, the jangle of tags on my dog’s collar upstairs, chirping birds outside. However, when someone is speaking, certain sounds within their speech morph together in a kind of audio blur, like an ink smudge marring
