Elyse Glickman | Content Coordinator DEARRESIDENTS Theres a lot to be thankful this month at Studio City Neighbors. Weve put together the perfect lineup of stories reflecting that a notions of family and community are practically interchangeable in all of the right ways. From the Nesmith family, who as native Californians and Angelenos, could have picked anywhere to live, but chose Studio City for the ways their neighbors and families coalesce during the holidays and all year-round. To our guest columnist, Bernard Otis, who reflects on how the generations can use Thanksgiving as a holiday to reflect on how they add to each otherslives. NW Rugs & Furniture, meanwhile, provides wonderful suggestions on how every home owner can add warmth and personality to their living space for holiday entertaining, family time and beyond. While our regular calendar is packed with events that provide entertainment, education, and fun for the whole family, weve provided a handy food pantry / donation guide that epitomizes everything Studio City represents for the families who have bought homes here. We want to be sure that all of us have ample opportunity to give back to a community that has given so much to us. Were providing quite a bit of food for thought, even before you begin planning Thanksgiving dinner at the end of the month. We hope this whets the appetite for new ways to appreciate all the community has to offer.

It wasnt long before word about their selection, service and sense of style got beyond Oregon. Nili and Morans solid formula has traveled brilliantly, into the Phoenix area, Las Vegas andAgoura Hills. Our team has now rolled the red carpet outso to speakfor its highly anticipated Sherman Oaks location.Along with sublime rugs from around the world, the store brings to the East Valley 20+ years of experience and the enduring goal to ensure every client has an opportunity to find one rug or many rugs which suit their homes design, functional needs and personal style. This is demonstrated through the showrooms huge selection of quality rugs and furniture. 油 We get inspiration by helping people beautify their surroundings and complete the look of their home, says Shawn. Our philosophy is encouraging customers to simply just bring room measurements and preferred color schemes to the shop. We will do the rest. Since we have such a huge selection, its our job to make sure the customer is not overwhelmed, and they are happy with their purchase. NW Rugsexperienced design professionals also make house calls when necessary and work closely with many interior designers. We are reputable and believe in dealing honestly with our customers, and willing to meet and beat our competitor prices if necessary, adds Shawn. However, we usually have the best price in town. When you put that with the excellent service we offer, everybody leaves extremely satisfied. This wonderful harmony is why most who have experienced North West Rugs & Furniture return to shop with us, as well as refer us to a friend or family members. The founders say they are fortunate to have opened a new location in Sherman Oaks, especially with the areas diverse range of clients and architectural styles. We never know who will stop in the showroom, and this makes every day both exciting and rewarding. It offers us the ability to help the community decorate and beautify. Some big home trends we are projecting for 2017 include, Bohemian Rhapsody, influenced by the aesthetics of NorthAfrica (Morocco), Turkey, India SouthAmerica and the Orient. We are seeing a lot of Natural Wool fabric in a hand Knotted rug with a very Indigenous geometrical design. We have a new collection by Joanna Gaines from Magnolia Homes, which has a strong regional West Coast look through a palate of amazing bright colors like rust, amber, mustard, indigo, emerald, and antique and natural white. Furthermore, we have something for everyone, from a modern shag texture, to strong exotic prints with bold colors, to soft pastels and neutrals in a fine rug. No matter what your preferences or taste, chances are your home style and your mood will be elevated after a visit to the new store.

- 4. 6 7NOVEMBER2016 STUDIOCITYNEIGHBORS T he reel-to-real 60s music phenomenon the Monkees was a part of growing up for Baby Boomers and Generation X-ers all overAmerica. The four band members (Valley native Micky Dolenz, brainy straight man Michael Nesmith, adorable Brit Davy Jones, and wistful Peter Tork) were also a kind of family unit whom viewers could relate to. This became all the more true when they fought for and won the right to create and perform their own original songs on the show. Perhaps one of its most profoundly fortunate fans and its enduring legacy is Nesmiths son, Jason, 48 -- born at the height of the shows heyday. He followed his fathers footsteps into music, and has achieved proficiency and success in a variety of genres much as Mike did after departing the 1960s pop cultural circus. He attended Berklee School of Music for a year before leaving to pursue live performing with his rock band, Kill For Thrills. With his other bands, including The Beauties and Nancy Boy, he traveled the world and lived in New York City and London before the events of 9/11 brought him back to LosAngeles. Growing up is interesting when your dad is a member of the Monkees and your mother is Nurit Wilde, the famous rock photographer from the late 60s early 70s, muses Jason. Between those two parents, there are so many stories you could write a book and they haveand more than one. Canyon of Dreams features Nurit and her photos, while Papa Nezs new book Infinite Tuesday will be available in stores in January 2017.油 LosAngeles-native Lindsay Nesmith, 32, was on her own musical journey in the years leading up to meeting her future husband at a private Hollywood Hills Oscar party in 2006. I was fortunate to work with many talented people, and especially grateful to work with Wendy Wasserstein and Cy Coleman before they passed, she says. I was given the opportunity to perform on many stages in and out of New York City, including Lincoln Center.After four years, I decided to move back to California to pursue film and television. During that time I met Jason. The couple married at The Malibu Lake Mountain Club inAgoura Hills on June 8, 2008, and have two sons, Elijah (9) and Theo (1). Today, the Nesmiths enjoy introducing their boys to down and dirty real camping in the great outdoors. The devoted followers of REI outdoor fashion have even brought a bit of that Monkees whimsy to their family album via their YouTube video, Camping With the Nesmiths. This is only the beginning of the familys adventure and cultural pursuits. We also happen to be trainspotters, she says with pride. If we arent on theAmtrak or Metrolink headed to Santa Barbara, Oceanside, or San Juan Capistrano, we are at Live Steamers or Fillmore Western Railroad riding a steam engine. We also love the Hollywood Bowl, the Huntington Library, theArboretum and the Getty. Our trunk is always stocked with boogie boards and a beach blanket to take to the Palisades or Malibu. Weve always wanted to live in Studio City, adds Jason. Initially, we moved up into the Studio City hillsbecause Donovan Leitch, one of my best friends and band mate (as well as son of Mike Nesmiths fellow 60s icon, Donovan) lived there with his wife and daughter. On that visit, I realized that Studio City had its own hills that were more spacious and family friendly than even the area I grew up in off of Laurel Canyon, and have better views of the city. When we moved to our first Studio City home on Berry Drive, we met our neighbors and saw a few kids there. Then, when we moved to Laurelcrest, there were even more kids on the street, and many of them were around Elijahs age. Elijah and Theo keep the parents very busy. Theo attends Gymboree Play & Music and Fun & Fit Gymnastics in Burbank. Elijah plays tennis at Weddington Golf & Tennis, baseball at Toluca Baseball, water polo油at the college (LosAngeles Valley College) and also plays piano. Lindsay adds that both boys have an ear for music, as it must run in the blood. Even with so much fun to be had close to their Studio City home, they maintain a balance of faith and philanthropy. The family attends the Legacy City Church in Studio City on Sunday mornings with Pastor Josh Thompson, and supports the Big Sunday Fund charity. They also stage manyAlexs Lemonade Stands to help raise money for research for treatments and cures to childrenscancers.油Elijah is also involved at his school helping local homeless shelters stock their pantry, collecting donations for local charities, and writing letters to their sister school in Haiti. We love this neighborhood so much, Lindsay affirms. We have incredible neighbors, and we are always getting together for a chat, coffee, a jam session, game night or an outdoor movie night. Every Christmas, our neighborhood mailboxes are filled with candies, cookies, marshmallows and hot cocoa mix that we make for each other. We are always calling each other to set up play dates and organize after school activities, adds Jason. The kids ride their bikes together on the dead-end street, set up lemonade stands or swim in our pool, which is the only pool on the street. Bruce, a beautiful 75-pound Belgian Shepherd named rescued at Best FriendsAnimal Shelter in Mission Hills, completes this band lineup. Every night she sleeps with Elijah, and during the day naps at the heels of Jasons feet while he writes music. Elijah admits he has a touring bug like his father and grandfather before him. I liked Switzerland, he enthuses on his stay in Riederalp. Its a car-free ski village that you take a cable car to get to. It is filled with local families who get around by skiing and pulling sleds to markets and restaurants in the winter. From the town, you have views of the Matterhorn, Dom and BigAletsch Glacier.

- 6. 10 11NOVEMBER2016 STUDIOCITYNEIGHBORS ByBernardOtis,guestcolumnist ExpressingThankfulnesstoThoseWhoEnrichYourLife W hen Bernies wife passed away four years ago he moved into Fairwinds West in West Hills, where he assists residents less independent then himself, works with management in the food area and writes articles for their monthly national magazine and speaks at their various facilities in Southern California. As we enter the holiday season, we need to take a step back and think about all of the things for which we are thankful for, as well as those who make it possible for us to enjoy the journey of life. We all have it within us to do new things, change our routine, bring out our inner skills and knowledge and share it with the world. But we must also not kid ourselves into believing that everything weve accomplished in life we have done it on our own. It is those who love us that provide the incentive, support, and courage to get things done and have new experiences. When celebrating Thanksgiving and the holidays with those who make your life a joy, be sure to let them know each and every day how much you appreciate what they have done to add to your enjoyment of life. I was moved to express this idea through a poem I hope will get you thinking about the ways you can connect with your familynot just on holidays, but any time of year. The Greatest Myth of All: I did it on my own Of all the well known myths that we hear spoken of so often Is the one in which is least true of all, I did it on my own. There exists no one on the face of earth not a creature or a person Who can with a straight face say I got there all alone. Did not your parents advise and even help to guide you get there? Was not your family there to pick you up when you fell down? And when you were lost and quite unsure, Were friends not there to be certain that you did not drown. What about the teachers along with your faith provide the knowledge and support That made your success most likely to be more achievable? And did not the accountant, professionals, and the attorney Who were standing ready in the background make your story so believable? As you took the mystery trip and went on this important journey, Please dont try to fool the world about the things you have done. It may have been your idea; you most likely were the source. It is okay to boast and cheer yourself for having a successful run, But just between the two of us, dont forget all the others who helped you complete the course.

Thought it may seem discouraging, these warnings are actually very helpful and are often backed by some serious science. New research helps us learn new preventative measures for ensuring our long-term health. A recent study outlines the health risks associated with prolonged sitting. Our bodies arent designed, so to speak, to be inactive for extended periods of time. When we sit and watch television, work at a desk, or drive a vehicle, our bodies dramatically decrease the breakdown of sugars and fats, resulting in a shocking 125 percent increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease or heart attack1 . As if thats not discouraging enough, it seems that merely adding a couple hours of gym time to your week doesnt really help. What does help, though, is breaking up your periods of inactivity by walking or standing while you work. Heres how to banish inactivity in the workplace, improve your overall wellness, and increase your energy levels: 1. Stand while you work. Standing desks are all the rage, and you can install them in a cinch. Research proves that the muscles activated by simply standing dramatically increase your bodys metabolism of sugars and fats. 2. Walk at work. Instead of having regular meetings with your coworkers in the conference room, take a walk outside or through your departments. 3. Take small walk breaks. Every hour or so, get up and walk around a bit. Take a lap around your office floor, or walk outside for some fresh air. 4. Actively watch television. If you just cant go without your favorite shows or the nightly news, try viewing them while exercising on a treadmill or elliptical for 30 minutes. 5. Be aware of your activity levels and try to stand, not sit, as often as you can. Youll love the increased metabolism, energy, and the overall improvement of your health. 1 Too Much Sitting: The Population- Health Science of Sedentary Behavior.
