Biker buds Dave and Amy
Austin ride together at Hidden
Falls in Auburn.
Foothill Magazine
Taking something negative and turning it into a life changing opportunity is exactly what
Dave Austin did. After what Austin calls the middle-age weight creep and a Tahoe snow skiing
accident that broke his knee, he felt nowhere near optimal physical health. With years of slow
weight gain and low activity, after the injury he was motivated to make a drastic change.
I was 205 pounds, Austin said.
In order to heal, physical rehab ordered exercise on a stationary bike. With the low impact on
his knee and the renewed physical activity, Austin began to really enjoy himself. It was then that
a good friend of his convinced him

to get a road bicycle.
The difficulty of those first few
rides was challenging, but Austin
was determined to stay with it. It
quickly became a hobby that he
and his wife Amy enjoy together.
And while she is not as competitive
as he, the two have been warmly
welcomed into Auburns cycling
community.
I ride for the fun of it, Amy
said.
Four years later, Dave Austin is
still riding and amazingly is near
the weight he was during his senior
year of high school.
After discovering his love for the
sport, Austin joined a team and
started racing. He has been picked
up for a nationally ranked Master
Cycling Team for three seasons.
The positive byproduct and the
exercise made me feel so good. It
was almost like I flipped a switch,
Austin said.
In the beginning he was losing
three to five pounds a week resulting in the loss of a total of 55
pounds. He has more energy and is
able to spend more time on his feet
than before.
I just felt better, Austin said.
However, Austin was injured
again on the same leg, but this
time he was only off of the bike
for four months. He attributes the
speedy recovery to the physical
fitness of cycling.
I got right back on the bike as
soon as I possibly could, Austin
said.
In his retirement, Austin has
incorporated his love of bikes into
a part-time job. He works at the
Bicycle Emporium in Auburn and
encourages others with his story.
My love of bicycles translates
to my little part-time retirement
job, he said. Im just having a lot
of fun.

RIChARD GLAzIER: FROM BROADwAY TO hOLLYwOOD
Classically-trained, award-winning pianist Richard Glazier was inspired at an early age by the
music of the legendary George and Ira Gershwin. At age 9 he was prompted to write a fan
letter to famed lyricist Ira Gershwin and subsequently the two became friends. Fueled by Iras
encouragement and interest, Glazier dedicated himself to the Gershwin repertoire and the
American Popular Songbook, eventually becoming one of the genres leading authorities. In this
performance he weaves interviews, performances and commentary into multimedia tapestry of
tunes written for Broadway musicals, Hollywood film and television. Some selections include
Medley from My Fair Lady; The Man I Love from Lady Be Good and So in Love from Kiss Me
Kate as the affable artist an accomplished host, narrator and performer shares his lifetime
love of each song and its origin.

challenges to getting fit and staying fit for 2107

Auburn
Pilates
is a
small studio located in
downtown Auburn. We
offer private lessons
along with 18 small
group classes per week.
All classes are taught
by one of our three
certified instructors. We
vary the exercises each
class and incorporate
one or a combination
of the following pieces
of Pilates equipment to
keep the classes fresh and
challenging: reformers,
chairs, step barrels, wall
towers, Cadillac and
ladder barrel.
What are your

recommendations
for people on a
limited budget?
Group classes are
a great value as they
still provide for a lot of
personal attention, but at
a lower price point than
private lessons. Our group
classes are limited to five
students to ensure you
get the most out of your
workout.
Do you offer
courses for those
with health
limitations?
Pilates is a great form
of exercise as it can be

done by a wide variety of
people. Many exercises
can be modified, if
needed, to accommodate
different health
limitations.
What new and

unique fitness
techniques do you
offer?
Pilates is not a new
form of exercise. It
was first brought to
the United States by
Joseph Pilates in 1926.
Pilates focuses not
only on increasing
your core strength,
but also on breathing,
strengthening the
entire body, increasing
flexibility, and improving
posture. We work on all
of these elements in our
classes. Many people are
familiar with Pilates mat
exercises, but the Pilates
equipment can both help
a new student master an
exercise and challenge a
more advanced student.
What benefits
come with your
membership?
We do not offer
a traditional gym
membership. Our pricing
is based on the number
of classes a student will
attend per week. Most
of our students come to
the same classes each
week which allows them
to build relationships
with the other students
in class and also
guarantees them a spot
in the group class. We
also offer drop in classes
for those who do not
wish to attend the same
classes each week.
What sets you

apart from other
fitness centers in
the area?
Our small classes allow
us to get to know our
clients and provide a lot
of hands-on attention.
With this we can modify
exercises when needed
and also really get to know
our clients fitness goals.

What new and unique fitness

techniques do you offer?
10
Foothill Magazine
Functional training is the cornerstone of

our fitness training techniques. While we
offer traditional weight loss and fitness
programming, functional training deals
with fitness being integrated in an existing
lifestyle. It focuses more, for example, on
how to deal with an injury and still play
with your grandchildren or how to continue to do the things you love in an existing
lifestyle such as golf, dancing, hiking, etc.
What benefits come with your

membership?
In addition to whats mentioned above,
for premier memberships there are two
hours of free babysitting each day. We also

include swim team in summer as well. Spa
services and childrens programs such as
parents night out parties, birthday parties,
and summer sports camps for kids are
discounted compared to what non-members
would have to pay. Also, all lesson programs,
such as tennis, swimming, personal training,
Pilates reformer, ballet barre, etc, come
with another discount. There is a free app
where deals from other businesses are listed.
Finally, the last Friday of each month is free
guest day where members may bring their
friends and family as guests at no charge.
What sets you apart from other

fitness centers in the area?
What sets us apart from other fitness
centers in the area is the variety of fitness
activities that are offered as well as the
family oriented nature of the club. Not only
have we won Best of the Best Gym Award
by Auburn Journal for five consecutive
years, we have won Best Childrens Fitness
program for the past two years. Our focus
is on the entire family and our offerings
respect that.

approach in that we do not

Studio Six Pilates.
We are
a small studio with two instructors, myself
and another woman that I have trained.
We are looking to expand and in the New
Year, I will be training another young lady
to become a wonderful instructor!We have
multiple apparatus to work out on including the Reformer, Trap Table/Tower, Cadillac,
Exo chair. We offer both private classes and
semi private classes (duets: two people).
What are your recommendations

for people on a limited budget?
Well, Pilates is never been known to be
budget friendly, unless you take a mat
class with lots of people, which I would not
recommend unless you are intermediate to
advanced. Whether youre on a budget or
not it is very important to start out doing
Pilates in a private class setting. As complex
as it is, its important that the foundations
are laid correctly to see positive results in
the future.However after the initial five
private classes, we require at our studio
(one of which is free)people who are on a
limited budget come once a week in a duet
class which is $35. Many of my clients get
a lot out of their once-a-week class and
they use what they learned in their Pilates
class and many other forms of movement
of their choosing.

Due to our small class sizes, I mostly
work with people who have health limita14

tions. This is my passion and why I choose

to teach the Pilates method. My studio
runs much more on a physical therapy
basis than a fitness basis. Of course we
have both and can accommodate both
types of classes. But on average I deal
mostly with people who have chronic pain
in their spine, hips, neck and shoulders.
Their pain stems from multiple factors such
as:scoliosis, bulged discs, fused vertebrae,
injuries, osteoporosis, and fibromyalgia, to
name a few.

The Pilates method in its essence is a

unique form of movement. Its classic techniques prove to be strong and effective in
peoples bodies today just as much as they
were in its beginnings. It is not in need of
many new and improved ideas. This is truly
the beauty of Pilates; intelligent movement
that has proved strong through the test of
time without much shadow due to change.
Whatbenefits come with your

membership?
To be clear, we offer a no membership.
People pay per class or per month.Benefits to practicingPilates: Overall strength
and flexibility(many peoples chronic pain
comes from weakness and lack of flexibility, this is an easy fix), long lean muscles,
better balance, stronger joints, better
posture, a stronger mind-body connection
(in other words a greater sense that you
have control over your body), increase bone
density for those who are struggling with
osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Well much sets us apart from other
fitness centers in the area. We are not a
fitness center, we are a safe place to come
when you are tired of chronic pain, or have
a great sense that you need to take care
of your body safely and effectively. We
honestly and truly care about bettering
peoples quality of life. It is our greatest
pleasure to see the positive affects the
Pilates method has on peoples daily lives.I
cant tell you how often I hear from my
clients I wish I wouldve tried this sooner.
What type of person is best

suited for Pilates?
To answer your question, absolutely
everybody. Currently in the studio I have
age ranges from 28 to 85 and they all have
had various injuries, or chronic illnesses, or
chronic pain or many have been perfectly
healthy.

Our
yoga center is a cozy, clean, quiet and
welcoming. Canyon Spirit is a place where
people can replenish their energy, heal their
bodies, and find a quiet respite from the
pace of day-to-day life. We practice a mindful approach to yoga, which means that we
take our time.
Weve been in Auburn for 17 years and
have a staff of certified teachers who take
great joy in guiding people to find a healthier way of living. We have many students
who attend weekly classes as a way of
staying healthy, strong, and relaxed.
What are your

recommendations for people on
a limited budget?
We have set fees with discounts for people over 65 and under 18.
We encourage you to talk to your instructor if you have special financial considerations.

We offer three gentle yoga classes a week
and work with people who have all kinds of
physical conditions. Sometimes we find that
people would benefit more from private
classes with teachers if they have issues
that dont allow them to attend a regular
class, such as being unable to get off of the
floor, herniated discs, recent surgeries or
illnesses that prohibit spinal movement.

restraints?
Find a class time that works best for you
and be consistent. All of our classes are an
hour and 15 minutes or an hour and a half.
Taking care of yourself takes commitment
and will benefit everyone in the long run.
Yoga is considered a preventive approach
to health. Ive had many of our students
tell me after an accident that their doctors
were amazed how quickly they recovered.
People also come to our classes to get
stronger and calmer before a scheduled
surgery.

I wouldnt really call what we offer
fitness techniques. We refer to them as
practices because they are all based on ageold disciplines that enhance the connection
between body and mind. That being said,
these offerings have been modernized to
include ways of dealing with stress, back
issues, fatigue, and many other conditions.
Yoga and our other classes are fun, engaging, inspiring, uplifting, centering, and have
countless physical, mental and emotional
benefits. There are thousands of years of
deep foundation to yoga, so you can be
confident in the positive effects yoga has on
a person. The more you practice, the better
you feel.

membership?
Better health, better sleep, enhanced skills
for stress management, joy, centeredness,
community, and so much more!

We know how to guide the body through
meaningful movement to allow for a greater
flow in energy. We value taking time for restorative movements and deep relaxation that
will nourish you on a cellular level. We make
space for working with the breath in a calm
and listening way, to find a deeper connection
to our hearts and intuition.
We avoid extreme heat and a boot camp
attitude. Instead, we recognize the demands
of daily life and strive to support our students
as they become calmer, more flexible, stronger, and more joyful through yoga movements, deep breathing, and relaxation.
We specialize in individualized instruction,
recognizing that everyones body and life
experience is different. Yoga isnt a one-sizefits-all practice. Everyone gets to find what
works for them and enhance their own inner
growth through moving and breathing at a
calm pace. You get to do this in a classroom
community of happy people. What could be
better?

We are, by a huge margin, the most

without a doubt, offer the most return to
our members in terms of programs and
facility access. Even our most popular
membership, the Fit Plus, which allows
you to bring a guest with you as often as
youd like, is only $10 more. Its important
to us to be able to offer this kind of membership because industry research shows

We provide a handful of classes suited
for seniors or those with limited mobility or who have joint health concerns.

providing programs tailor made to their

equipment in the club that easily accommodates those confined to wheel chairs.
This helps us maintain our commitment to

As industry professionals, we know that
time is perhaps the number one impediment people talk about when they are
struggling to meet their fitness goals. For
those with limited schedules, we strive
to provide classes at a variety of times to
accommodate even the most precarious
schedule. We also customize our personal
training programs to fit the needs of our
clients in terms of availability and session
length.

One very exciting feature of the new
club has been the Kinesis stations by
TechnoGym. The focus of these machines

is to be able to train functionally for everyday movements without having to take
part in a complicated workout regimen
or try to fit a functional training class in
your schedule. They are comprised of six
multi-purpose machines arranged in a
no-nonsense circuit.

Our Fit membership gets you access to
weights and cardio machines while our

includes guest privileges. Adding to that,
our Group Fit membership includes classes
and our Cycle Fit membership likewise
includes cycling on top of that. So it really
just depends on what the needs of our
members are.
What sets you apart from

other fitness centers in the
area?
Aside from being the best value in town,
our members have told us that we are
the friendliest club around. We strive to
greet every member with a smile and take
a personal interest in their fitness goals.
Our members have described our club as
a community and a family. At the end of

Resolutions
10
Use self-control
ways to stick to
your resolution
The new year the stereotypical time to take a good look at yourself
and make the daunting list of things and habits to change, update,
improve on, or cut out for good.
The top three resolutions that makes most lists revolve around diet
and exercise, organization, and finance. While, yes, these are the most
popular and more abundant of the resolutions, there are hundreds
more that are set at the beginning of each year.
For most, the motivation to stick to a resolutions lasts less than a
month. This happens for many reasons. Either you had a setback and
give up or you try to do too much at once and the drive to keep going
simply fizzles out.
Here are 10 helpful tools that will assist in actually accomplishing
everything you set out to finish in 2017.
I know this one seems easier said than done, but tapping into your self-control can actually help give you
confidence that you have more power than you realize
to accomplish goals. One way you can exercise self-control is
by squeezing on a stress ball as hard as you can for about 30
seconds twice a day. I know it sounds silly, but it works.
Make one change at a time
I know that Jan. 1 can be an incredibly motivational day.

With all the excitement and the planning for the year
ahead, it seems like you will never want to stop. As we
all know, there is a point where that enthusiasm dies off and
are left with unfinished wants and desires. One way to lessen
the likelihood of this happening is to set out to make one
change at a time. You arent going to quit smoking, eat better,
cut out caffeine, clean your car, or make sound investments all
in one day. It doesnt work. Do one or two at a time and it will
help you not to feel overwhelmed when the high of the new
year is over.
Set specific time goals
Rome wasnt built in a day. Set one goal for each week if
you have to. By breaking down your list a little at a time,
you are more likely to actually do them. For example, for
week one, plan out all your meals for that week and cook at
home. Week two, only have two cups of coffee a day instead
of five. Week three, sign up for a gym membership. Take baby
steps along the way.
Do things that
make you happy
When we are happy, we are more likely to be productive.

Not every day has to be focused on your resolutions for
the year. Give your mind a break and do something that you
enjoy. If you are allowing yourself to breathe every now and
then and not make your resolutions your 100 percent focus,
the probability of you continuing to aim for them is high.

Foothill Magazine
Avoid absolutes
Never say never. I know its ironic, but try to stay away from
words like never and always. We are human and we are
fallible so when we inevitably slip back a little on our diet or skip
a day at the gym or watch Netflix instead of organizing our pantry, using words that are absolutes makes us feel like a failure. Stay
positive and allow yourself a couple of mistakes and stay away from
absolutes.
Give yourself a pat on the back
There will come a time where you feel like throwing in the towel dont. Write out a gratitude list and name off everything
you have accomplished in the past few months or years and
recognize that you are not a superhero and everything worth having
is worth waiting for. Youve got this, so remind yourself that you are
awesome.
Use visual aids
Whether the goal is to lose 20 pounds or buy a new car, it is

helpful to use visual aids. Put a picture of the new Mercedes
you want on the fridge or your fitness goals on the mirror. If
you constantly look towards the things you want it will encourage
you to keep striving for them.
Avoid temptation
I know when I am hungry it takes every ounce of will power not

to binge eat on all of my favorite foods. This is a no no. If you
get to this point, eat an apple or something nutritious before
reaching for that cupcake. As soon as the hunger is gone the temptation to cheat will subside. Same goes for finance, even though the
new iPhone is appealing, remember the goal of saving for something
bigger. Turn away from temptation that will hinder in the long run.
Make a tangible list
It isnt just enough to think of all the things you would like to
achieve in 2017. Making a tangible wish list will ensure that you
dont forget 365 days later what you set out to do on day one.
Put it in your phone or planner or yet again on the fridge and let it
serve as a constant reminder that you set out to make a change.
10
Lastly, modify
Just because you said you wanted something in the

beginning of the year, does not mean that you still want
it six months down the road. It is OK to change your
mind or modify your goals as the year progresses. The important part
is that you are actively working toward your desires. Get around to
reading that book sitting on the shelf, begin the process of setting up
a retirement plan, or clean out that closet thats been a mess for far
too long. Make a resolution to see the rest of your resolutions come
to fruition and use some tools to help see you through.

the superfood
Turmeric
When dinner time comes around it can be pretty daunting. For the diet that I try to follow, it is mostly meat with veggies and
greens with my favorite, the carbohydrates, as the smallest thing on the plate. I try to make meat the main focus of my dinners.
Roasting a whole chicken is my favorite way to make sure that I am getting the protein I need for my body to be healthy
and strong. However, cooking an entire chicken can be a rather large ordeal. I promise it is actually a really easy experience. The
spices of the cardamom, cinnamon, and turmeric are well paired with the spice of the ginger making a warm evening dish that
is great for any diet and also takes away some of the chill that comes with a January night.
Plus its a whole chicken, so invite family and friends over to partake and enjoy. They will thank you for the delicious and
healthy meal.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Place chicken, breast side up, in an oven safe dish and pat dry with paper

lemon and garlic in the cavity.
Use half of the oil and rub all over the chicken. Next, season the chicken
by rubbing the turmeric, pepper, salt, cardamom, and cinnamon all over the
chicken as well.
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes then coat again with the remaining
oil. Place chicken back in the oven and roast for another 25 minutes. Test
temperature to make sure the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees.
Continue to roast for a few additional minutes as needed.
Let rest for 15 minutes before carving and enjoy with a side of greens.

healthy alternative for when I need a quick dinner without a lot of preparation. Its a hot meal that comes together
quickly and has a lot of flavor and taste. And while I dont eat vegan all the time, sometimes it is exactly what I am

Turmeric
health benefits
What have we learned?
Claims that curcuminoids found in

turmeric help to reduce inflammation
arent supported by strong studies.
Preliminary studies found that curcuminoids may:
Reduce the number of heart
attacks bypass patients had after
surgery.
Control knee pain from osteoarthritis as well as ibuprofen did
Reduce the skin irritation that often occurs after radiation treatments
for breast cancer.
Other preliminary studies in people
have looked at curcumin, a type of
curcuminoid, for different cancers,
colitis, diabetes, surgical pain, and
as an ingredient in mouthwash for
reducing plaque.
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)
has studied curcumin for Alzheimers
disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and
prostate and colon cancer.
What do we know
about safety?
Turmeric in amounts tested for

health purposes is generally considered safe when taken by mouth or
applied to the skin.
High doses or long-term use of
turmeric may cause gastrointestinal
problems.
Keep in mind
Tell all your health care providers

about any complementary or integrative health approaches you use. Give
them a full picture of what you do
to manage your health. This will help
ensure coordinated and safe care.

Turmeric Morning Blueberry Muffins

I am a baked-goods-in-the-morning kind of person. I love anything hot from the oven, especially
blueberry muffins. These muffins were especially inviting in the morning. They are filled with spices
and oats that warm the senses and only mildly sweet from the blueberries and dates. There is no
refined sugar, no gluten, no dairy, and yet this are probably my favorite morning muffin. They even
contain the amazing turmeric root, which makes the color and flavor more vibrant and delicious.

1 cup walnuts
Spray muffin tin lightly with coconut oil.
1 cup gluten-free oats

walnuts and oats in a food processor and
2/3 cup gluten-free flour

1 teaspoon baking soda
In the processor add the dairy-free yogurt,
1 tablespoon turmeric
oil, bananas, and medjool dates and blend until
1 teaspoon cardamom
a sticky paste is formed.
Add the mixture to the mixing bowl with the
teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
dry ingredients. Add the eggs. Mix until well

ice cream bites
Lets face it, sometimes a little chocolate is good
for the soul or in my case a lot of chocolate! However, too much chocolate (yes, there is such a thing) has
a tendency to be not as wonderful. When I want a
little ice cream that I know wont ruin my diet or hurt
my tummy, I make dessert bites. Its mostly coconut
oil and coconut milk which can be very healing to
the gut. Throw in a little chocolate and turmeric and
you have a guilt-free treat. Keep them handy in the
freezer for when the chocolate cravings hit.

1 entire can of whole fat coconut milk

Tomato Turmeric soup

Happy New Year everybody! Im certain that 2017 has quite a few resolutions
tacked onto it, one of which is lets eat healthier. I wanted to share with you this
magical little root that will most certainly bring some balance to the body after the
sugar rush of the holidays. Turmeric is a bright orange root that quite frankly stains
every cutting board I own and yet it is so worth it. This superfood is said to decrease
inflammation in the body that can cause aches and pains that lead to other ailments.
When I am feeling a little under the weather, I want comfort foods, warm foods, and
easy foods to eat and make. This tomato soup recipe fits into all my categories. As my
husband pointed out, it would be great over pasta as a spaghetti sauce. Talk about
comfort food! However, when eaten as just a soup the body has a better chance of
detoxing. Anyway you look at it, this soup is a winner for taste and health.
6 ounces of cherry or grape tomatoes

teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric
cup raw local honey
chopped walnuts
You will need a silicon ice cube tray for the ice
cream into bite-sized squares. Pour milk and coconut oil into a mixer and mix on medium until well
combined. The coconut oil will harden with the chill
of the milk and that is OK.
Mix in the remainder of the ingredients. Fold in the
walnuts. Pour the mixture into the ice cube tray and
freeze until solid.
Keep in a Ziploc bag in the freezer and enjoy at
leisure.
1 can diced tomatoes in juices

cup chicken bone broth (*use vegetable stock for a vegan alternative)
1 small white onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons organic turmeric powder
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon Braggs apple cider vinegar (*with the mother)
Freshly ground black pepper (*a must in order to active the curcumin in the turmeric).
Melt the coconut oil ina sauce pan.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Saut in the melted coconut oil until fragrant approximately one minute.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add to the sauce pan. Add the turmeric and cook
down the tomatoes until their juices release. Add the entire can of diced tomatoes,
broth, apple cider, dried basil, salt and pepper.
Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer for approximately
five minutes.
Transfer the warm mixture into the blender and pulse until creamy and smooth.
Add more seasonings as desired and eat as a soup or use as a sauce.

Nutritionist researches benefits of turmeric in the diet

Happy New Year everybody! Now is the
time to get every body in better health than
ever before. There are many special foods
that aid in overall health, but one that
stands out is turmeric. Turmeric is one of
the earths natural medicinal remedies and
for many reasons deserves taking some time
to highlight its numerous health benefits.
It has been researched and noted that
this little bright orange root packs quite the
punch when it comes to detoxing of the
body, which we all know is much needed
after the holiday season comfort food
extravaganza.

of insight when it comes to this tiny super
food. She has researched the benefits of
turmeric and utilized its uses for an anti-inflammatory, Alzheimers prevention, poor
cholesterol reduction, blood sugar balancing, and more.
Turmeric, sometimes called curcumin, is
spice from Asia. On a guest blog post for
California Womens Watersport Collective

backs its capacity to treat IBD (inflammatory bowel disease), arthritis and particular
cancers!
Many dont realize that turmeric can be
found locally in more than just a spice jar or
powder form. The root itself is incredibly accessible and can be found at even the most
frequented grocery and health food stores.
I feel that it is so much more potent in
root form, Dunbar said.
It has been consumed in healthy diets and
inspired dishes for centuries. Turmeric is the
most predominant ingredient in curry, which
gives dishes a very bright yellow color. Dunbar expressed that eating the root alongside
an ingredient that is higher in fat such as
coconut milk or beef stock is believed to aid
in the anti-inflammatory components.
Thanks to Auburn Naturopathic nutritionist, Gretchen

Dunbar, I now have the perfect Golden Milk recipe. As a
latte lover, I am constantly sipping on something warm and
creamy. However, yet another one of my many 2017 resolutions is to cut way back on my caffeine intake. Golden Milk
is the perfect way to make sure I stick to my goals.
Not only is the milky beverage rich and toasty, but it is
also incredibly nourishing to the body. Like Ive stated in the
other recipes, turmeric has a lot of health benefits, especially when it comes to being an anti-inflammatory.
Golden Milk is perfect to sip on before bed or first thing
upon awakening. The spice can be utilized as a way to unwind at the end of a busy day or a boost to utilize productivity.
It is a great substitute for coffee and comes with the
guaranteed that you are drinking something beneficial to
your body.
Love the body you have by feeding it something that will
make it happy and make every day in 2017 a healthy one.
Also, a note from Gretchen is nibble on the strained
turmeric after drinking to get additional benefits out of the
root.

Its such a potent anti-inflammatory.

There is research and literature on it being
comparable to ibuprofen, Dunbar said.
However, there is a catch with turmeric.
In order to active the curcumin, black pepper must be added to turmeric consumption. Dunbar recommends one part black
pepper to every 200 parts turmeric. A little
of each goes a long way.
Typical dose used therapeutically 400
milligrams twice a day, but I like using
whole root with pepper in some kind of fat;
like coconut milk, Dunbar said.
Dunbar finished her schooling at what
is now the National University of Natural
Medicine and found her niche at Auburn
Naturopathic where she assists patients in
bettering their health. She will be offering a
10-day detox to boost the New Year. Auburn
Naturopathic also offers a Happy House
every Friday from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. where
attendees can join for fellowship, conversation, a B-12 shot, and food samplings. Stop
in to try Dunbars magical Golden Milk or
turmeric cauliflower flat bread. This year is
the perfect time to strive for optimal nutrition and turmeric is one way to start.
Food can do a lot, Dunbar said.
Who says gummy vitamins are just for kids? Sure, these anti-inflammatory turmeric gummies arent in the shape of Scooby Doo or
The Flintstones, but they are just as fun to snack on. The desire for
good tasting vitamins doesnt magically disappear in adulthood. Why
choke down what you know is good for you when you could make it
into a gummy and have some fun?

Golden Milk Recipe

By Gretchen Dunbar
2 cans coconut milk (Trader Joe cans are BPA free)

1 can of water
3 nibs of turmeric skinned and grated
cup coconut sugar or raw honey
teaspoon black pepper
Grate turmeric.
Place all ingredients in a sauce pan and simmer for
30 minutes.
Strain and enjoy.
*Just a little reminder when using turmeric, add
a dash of black pepper to any recipe. Piperine, with
the black pepper, allows for your body to properly
absorb the anti-inflammatory compound, curcumin
in turmeric. Which is why these are often a pair in
traditional cooking.

local bed and

breakfasts

Traveling is one of the more often added resolutions to the list of things
to accomplish for the new year, new you. Who wouldnt want to add more
experiences for the betterment of their everyday life? Travel is a great way to

Powers Mansion Inn (Auburn)

The Victorian bed and breakfast in Auburn came into
existence when Howard T. Power struck rich from his
familys mine approximately 20 years after the Gold
Rush. With the wealth he happened upon, Power purchased his
rather large estate for his family, which has now been converted into an inn. History envelopes every corner of the now
Powers Mansion Inn from the structure itself to the period
antiques within. All 16 rooms are decorated with authenticity
to the time period including antique claw-foot bathtubs and
vintage pull toilets. Step back in time for a relaxing and elegant weekend filled with afternoon tea services and a carefree
ambiance. The luxurious B and B also hosts a complimentary

Park Victorian (Coming soon

to Old Town Auburn)
Stay tuned Auburn for
something Auburn has never
seen the likes of before. Just above
Old Town is a mansion that is being
converted into a bed and breakfast.
However, this is no ordinary B and
B. Imagine history brought into a

accommodations, while keeping the
heritage of the Auburn estate intact.
At the moment, Park Victorian is currently being transformed into a resort
of sorts and rapidly becoming ready to
house a number of tourists and locals.
The grounds will introduce renovation
in the main house, as well as newly
constructed cabins for seclusion and
additional room on the acreage. Park
Victorian will easily become one of
Auburns more visited destinations so
be ready in anticipation because this
modernized B and B is redefining the
meaning of local luxury.

Money talks
Get financially fit for 2017
Two worst pieces of financial advice

by Garrett Konrad
Finance is often considered a taboo topic
in our culture; we dont like to talk about
it. Some people hire professional advice,
and some people prefer to go the do-ityourself route. The commonality between
all of us is we have all heard advice from a
friend, a family member, a radio personality
or a TV personality. Here is a list of the top
two worst pieces of advice almost all of
my clients have heard or taken from these
outside sources.
Pay off your mortgage as fast as

you can
The idea here is that you can finance
your house on a 15-year mortgage, or you
can make additional principal payments on
longer term mortgage and save on interest.
Sounds innocent enough, doesnt it?
I worked with a new client recently that
told me their investment portfolio was
earning an impressive 8 percent a year.
In the same breath they proudly told me
they had no debt because they paid cash
for their house. I was dumbfounded they
just admitted that they pulled a sizeable
chunk of money out of a portfolio earning
8 percent, to pay cash for a house that they
could have financed for 3.25 to 4.25 percent easily. They gave up use and control of
that whole chunk of money and their house
will appreciate or depreciate regardless of
how much they have paid off. What if they
financed the house for 30 years, kept their
money in their investment portfolio, and
let the interest earned make their house
payment for them with money to spare?
I dont have the space in this article to
explain the math, but it wouldnt surprise
me if 15 years down the road and it
made sense at the time, they could
pay off the remaining balance
32
Foothill Magazine
of the mortgage. With interest rates on the

rise, I believe it would be far more valuable
to lock in the low-interest rate mortgage
for the longest period of time possible and
keep their money working for them.
Stuff as much money as you

can into your 401k
We have all heard this one: You will be in
a lower tax bracket in retirement. Save in
your 401k, you get a tax deduction. Sounds
great doesnt it?
The highest federal tax bracket estimated
for 2017 is 39.6 percent. The federal income
tax started in 1913 and the average highest
federal tax bracket since is 58.24 percent.
Historically there have been spikes in
income tax rates to help pay off debt accumulated during World War I, World War II,
the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the
Gulf War. We have been paying for a war
and the United States deficit is growing at
an insane rate.
With some of the lowest tax rates in
history right now, do you think tax rates are
going up, or down? My guess is they are
going up. A 401k and other tax-deferred
qualified plans are indeed a tax deduction
right now, but what they do is postpone the
tax as well as the tax calculation.
Whenever you take money
from your 401k in retirement, you will then owe
income tax on the full
amount taken.
If I were to write
you a check for a
loan you would ask
me two ques-
tions: What is the interest rate, and when

do I have to pay it back? What if I responded, You know what? I am doing quite
well right now so lets figure out the details
later. One day I will have a need for my
money. At that time I will figure out how
much interest I need to charge you in order
to meet how much money I need. Would
you cash that check? I dont think anyone
would, but that is exactly the deal we make
when we save on a tax-deferred basis.
Now saving in a 401k isnt bad for everyone, but for the average American it makes
more sense to pay the tax now and save on
a tax-free basis for the future.
These mistakes can cost you in retirement.
Unfortunately though, I can only write
based on my experience and not based on
your individual situation. My best recommendation for 2017 is to hire a trustworthy registered investment adviser who
is required by law to act in a clients best
interest. Get an unbiased analysis on these
two topics and check out the math to see if
there is a more efficient way to handle your
finances.

Exercise your mind

By Noelle Konard Photo are courtesy to Foothill Magazine
In order to achieve total health, we must first pinpoint all the ways to better oneself. There are of course the obvious
of physical exercise and dietary regiments that will assist in overall well-being. However, one less obvious and yet equally
important exercise is the utilization of the mind. Many would argue that we use our brains most often and the urgency of
setting aside time daily to focus on mental health is irrelevant. Several other mental health and memory care professionals
would urge otherwise and recommend conscious consideration. Two separate professionals, Elise Harboldt, marketing director
at Beautiful Minds Medical and Mindy Klick, executive director of Country House Residence for Memory Care shared insight
on how to care for your mind when it is in total health, in addition to when it is not.
Beautiful Minds Medical: Treat yourself gently and with care is recommended by those at Beautiful Minds Medical in Auburn. There are some basic lifestyle tips that can assist in growing or maintaining a healthy mind.
Sleep well, exercise, and good nutrition. Those are the things we teach at Beautiful Minds, Marketing Director Elise Harboldt said.
Beautiful Minds uses an acronym in order to clearly show ways to better the mind every day. It is a perfect example of a
new year, new you, new start N: nutrition, E: exercise, W: water, S: sunlight, T: temperance, A: air, R: rest, T: trust.
We use the acronym as a way for people to remember to focus on forgiveness, Harboldt said.
One of the ways to avoid mental illness is to practice what is stated above as well as actively pursuing relationships.
Mental illness thrives in isolation, so one of the best things we can do for our health is to invest time in supportive
relationships. We really try to encourage patients to do this. So often, we get so busy, we forget to make time for people,
Harboldt commented.
A new year often comes with lists and lists of goals and ideas that people wish to accomplish both personal and professional. Professionals at Beautiful Minds really discourage setting too many goals at once, rather make realistic goals that can
be accomplished. This is the best way to start fresh. However, in no way does it discourage dreaming or reaching for goals of a
grander scale. It simply means have intent in the ambitions you set before you.
Baby steps really add up, Harboldt said.
Mental illness can come in many different forms and Beautiful Minds is a foundation that specifically addresses the needs
of persons as individuals.
We believe in a whole person approach and go at it from every angle, Harboldt stated.
The services offered address several varying areas of mental health including psychiatry, mind, management, counseling and therapists, life skills, family counseling, stress management, cognitive behavior, and more. The Intensive Outpatient

Program or IOP addresses even deeper issues

and is approached at the necessary step before
hospital or intervention. This almost two-yearold program is currently the only IOP offered in
the Auburn area. The 15-week program aids in
remedying conditions such as: depression, anxiety
and panic disorders, bipolar disorders, substance
abuse.
Each client receives personalized plan of care,
which includes group therapy, weekly medical evaluations, medication management, and
wellness education. We also provide an option
for individual and family therapy, so states the
companys flyer.
We are eager to provide our IOP services to the
Auburn community, Harboldt said. Another tip is
to tell yourself the truth. So often, our irrational
thoughts go unchallenged and end up causing
damage to our emotions and our relationships. It
is amazing the connection between the mind and
the body.

Country House Residence: The best advice given by Country House

Residence for Memory Care in Roseville is to slow down. With the
hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is hard to sit back and reflect
and what we are doing instead of just pushing though it all. Allowing our minds to catch up with our bodies is one way we can help
prevent memory loss, Alzheimers, and dementia.
Give yourself time to process. We try to think so quickly and get
things done so quickly that we end up forgetting more things than
remembering. Our philosophy here is slow down! Let it soak in,
Executive Director Mindy Klick said.
The facility opened its doors a mere months ago in October. Currently, Country House employs 17 individuals with room for more as
the facility expands.
Every day its in the process of changing. Anybody who is interested, we welcome their application, Klick said.
Country House differs from other memory care centers in that
each staff member is trained in multiple roles. There is no one set
person for one set job, everyone can assist in any area that need be.
We are very hands on. We are 24 hours, it never stops, Klick said.
Their services not only benefit residents, but also potential residents and family of those in need of care. They offer support for
those who are caring for someone and an easy transition into full
time or short time care.
Those who are residents at County House are treated with the
utmost nurturing and whole-person wellness care possible. The
program is designed to engage in spiritual, intellectual, social and
physical activity. Because no two persons are alike, the facility offers
a variety of activities tailored to individual desires.
Whether your mind is in complete health and just needs to be
stretched once and a while to being diagnosed with memory loss,
there are measures to take to ensure that our mental awareness is
in the best possible condition. For the next year, try exercising your
mind regularly and take the advice from the professionals who
understand its importance.

The art of
making wine
Kevin Stevenson, owner of Le Casque
Wines, takes us behind the winery doors
written and photos By tessa Marguerite
The wines of Le Casque are alive with a symphony of flavors from vineyards
throughout Placer, El Dorado, Nevada and Amador counties.
Kevin Stevenson, owner of Le Casque Wines is a creative musician, has a stubborn
personality and likes really good wine; a perfect blend for the owner of a winery.
Stevenson and his wife, Ann, moved from Minnesota to Placer Countys vineyard
community Clos Du Lac in 1999. There was an abundance of grapes, and not enough
hands to tend to them. Stevenson, an avid musician and music producer at the time,
set aside his guitar to help and got carried away.
Within a few years, he started his own vineyard management company selling
grapes for the neighborhood. Stevenson started his own label in 2006 and found that
he not only had a passion for making music, but for making wine as well.
Le Casque winery opened in Loomis in November, 2011. The tasting room is located
at the Flower Farm in Loomis, close to from Roseville, Auburn and Folsom.
When Stevenson is not pouring wine in the tasting room, hes either at the winery
or in the vineyards. He is meticulous about the quality of the grapes going into his
presses. Our strength is our fruit sources, Stevenson said. We go looking for great
fruit, because once fruit comes in, I cant make it any better. I can only change it,
stylistically; thats the art.
From vine to wine

Its a weird combination of patience and physical labor, Stevenson reflected.
Harvest is normally early September to early November, Stevenson said, but it varies depending on the weather. This year, harvest began in September in Placer County
where vineyards grow at about 600 feet above sea level, and ended in late October in
El Dorado County vineyards at 3,000 feet.
Grapes grown at lower elevations will make wine that is big, dark, spicy and more
alcoholic. Higher elevations produce grapes that are less tannic, but have a black
pepper flavor. Tannic, Stevenson explained, is when it feels like you have a sweater
on your tongue.
Continued on page 38
Wine time: The tasting room at the Flower Farm is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Thursday to Sunday.
Barrel of laughs: French oak barrels cost approximately $1,100 per barrel and last
about five years.
Why the helmet logo?
The Casque Wines logo is the Adrian

Casque, a French helmet design that was
introduced in the early 1900s by General
August Louis Adrian. He was visiting a
soldier in the hospital who should have
been mortally wounded due to a gunshot to the head but he survived. When
asked how that was possible, the soldier
responded that he was storing his mess
bowl on his head under his casque. This
inspired General Adrian to design a new
helmet for the French soldiers. The casque
helmet was made with a cap insert called
a Calotte which allowed the helmet to sit
snugly on the head and provide additional
protection.
This helmet style was considered revolutionary around the world and is still being
used today by soldiers, firemen, police and
bicycle riders.

Le Casque Tasting Room
Hours: 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Thursday-Sunday

At Flower Farm, 4150 Auburn Folsom
Road, Loomis
Wine making is 90 percent grape growing and 10 percent sanitation, Stevenson said. Its actually very glamorous.
Tim Weyrich, Le Casque winemaker, has been with
Stevenson since the harvest of 2013. Weyrich grew up in
Paso Robles and is the nephew of John and Annie Bowler,
owners of the Flower Farm.
Were in the vineyards all the time throughout summer
and harvest, he said. A day or two can make a big difference during harvest.
When the grapes have been harvested, crushed, pressed
and fermented, they are then combined according to the
desired variety and character and aged in stainless steel
tanks or oak barrels.
Oak barrels
At Le Casque, wine is aged in either stainless steel tanks,
or oak barrels.
We use a combination of new and used from different
forests for more complex wine, Stevenson said.
French oak barrels cost approximately $1,100 per barrel
and last about five years. American oak barrels are aggressive, and make more of an impression, Stevenson said. Petite Syrah is dark, inky, briary and big, Stevenson explained.
Generally we only use American oak barrels for that wine.
White wine stays in the barrel, or tank, for as little as four
months or up to over a year. Red wine needs a little more
barrel time. It needs a minimum of 14 months or up to two
years.
If a new French barrel is filled with wine for one year,
it will have imparted about 80 percent of its flavor to the
wine by the end of those 12 months. But not all wines need
a strong oaky flavor, so the barrel can be used again.
Grenache we dont generally use new oak barrels,
Stevenson admitted. Grenache is not a big, dark taste; its
more fruity; and the new oak doesnt match the wine.
Stevenson knows the taste of each barrel, sometimes
learning through trial by error.
The percentage of new oak we use every year is high, he
said. A big expense; but it shows at the end of the day.
For Auld Lang Wine

Were going to redefine Casque Wines, declared Stevenson. Although the grapes from this past harvest wont
be bottled for another few months, or years, the five new
vintages being released with the new year are stunning,
according to Stevenson. Joining the impressive variety

already offered at Casque is a Grenache. Its a

fun grape, said Stevenson with a smirk.
Just released in November was the Adrian
Blanc, a blend of four grapes: Roussanne, Marsanne, Viognier and Grenache Blanc. The Adrian
Blanc was aged one year in a French oak barrel
and has a pinch of oak flavor without overpowering the essence of the grapes.
Bottled and waiting

Crisp and clear; big, oaky and buttery; light
and fruity; or dark and spicy. The breadth of varieties at Le Casque will likely suit any wine-lovers taste. A tasting at Le Casque will introduce
you to two whites, five reds and a port and
more if you become a wine club member. Le
Casque Wines makes about 3,000 cases per year,
has won two Best in Class in the San Francisco
Chronicles wine competition and has received
multiple Gold and Double Gold awards at the
California State Fair. Bottles range in price $18
to $48.

The Last Word
2016 wine news wrap-up

By Erik Loigom,
wine columnist
50
Foothill Magazine
Lets reflect on the year 2016 and some of the major news that impacted the wine
industry. For starters, The Prisoner Wine Company sold to Constellation for approximately $285 million. Brands included The Prisoner and Saldo which was previously
owned by David Phinney of Orin Swift which he sold for $40 million in 2010. No vineyards were included in the sale
This year, David Phinney owner/winemaker sold his Orin Swift 11 brands including
inventory and his tasting room in St. Helena to the Gallo Family, the largest family
owned winery in the world. The sale price was not disclosed but it is rumored to be
around $350 million. Again no vineyards were included in the sale.
The Gallo Family also acquired Sonomas J Vineyards in 2016.
New Zealand lost more than 5 million bottles of wine due to a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck in November.
Bad weather caused many problems for winemakers in many parts of France. From
fierce hail storms to major freezing conditions. Wine production is estimated to be
down about 10 percent with some regions as low as 50 percent.
The Languedoc region of France lost approximately 10 percent of crops due to a
fierce forest fire just prior to the start of the picking season.
A major storm hit the Riverland region in Australia destroying anywhere from 50
percent - 100 percent of vines. The Riverland region supplied 63 percent of South
Australias crush this year and 27 percent of the nations grape crush. This will have a
major impact on the 2017 crush.
Production is estimated to have plummeted by 35 percent in Argentina and 21 percent inChile due to climatic events.
The Californian wine industry remains healthy with production, consumption and
exports all up.
Overall, we do not expect to see price increases in local wines but would expect to
see increases with imports, especially wines from South America.
Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous new year.
