Hey kids, Notice anything different about the magazine you’re holding? This is the new and improved JStyle. Thanks to your feedback, we’ve given our favorite publication a makeover, from design to content to a brand spanking new attitude. Check it: Your responses to our recent surveys told us you wanted more about Cleveland.

Done. We’ve renewed our emphasis on local people and Margi, left, and Janet at Heartstrings boutique in Little Italy. the local scene.

You told us to keep fashion and home stories but add more travel and food features. So we did.

Stories are divided into new categories. For example, JLIFE refers to articles about people, places and fun things to do in Cleveland. JSPOTLIGHT shines on unique individuals and their accomplishments. JLOOK, JDIGS, JTASTE and JTREK are fashion, home, food and travel stories.

Don’t miss our personal favorite new feature, “Margi & Janet’s Great Escape.” In each issue of JStyle, we’ll explore a district or neighborhood and all it has to offer. We start with Little Italy (see p. 10).

We’ve made a lot of changes, but we’re not done yet. We still want to hear from you. Based on your feedback, JStyle will continue to evolve. Our inboxes are always open. Email us at mherwald@cjn.org and jcox@cjn.org.

Thank you for your role in helping to make JStyle the best it can be.

Stacey J. -Richmond Hts., OH

The time I have spent with this program has probably been the most beneficial time of my life. I have learned to take control of my eating habits and experience the feeling of peace on a daily basis.

Ellen W. -Beachwood, OH

I was on of the biggest junk food eaters, but after 8 sessions I have learned to eat well and have lost 20 pounds.

Gloria S. -Solon, OH

Iʼm so excited to share that I have lost 35 pounds and am still going strong. I have told all my fellow nurses about your great program.

Carol A. -Stow, OH

Lou’s Story: It all started when I was 6 years old – no really – it did. I was put on my first diet at age 6, thus began my 40-year history of yo-yo dieting, binging and starving and – even when on a diet – some very inadvisable food choices. I tried the good, the bad and the UGLY. Of course, everything worked. I did lose weight each time – then promptly regained it and added some. Once I figured out that the dieting wasn’t working (by that time I had a list of 15 different ones I could remember being on), I had to begin the process of finding out why.

The Hungry Heart program had all the tools and resources to help me not only manage daily stress but maintain a 92 pound weight loss for over 5 years. My clients learn a systematic Lou Helt approach to become successful at making lifestyle changes and losing weight naturally.

Beachwood Counselor In the first few sessions clients learn not only why they are overeating, but how to break out of the cycle for good.

I not only lost weight, but also vastly improved my overall health and specifically lowered my blood pressure, my bad cholesterol and my lipids. I no longer need medication of any sort for my arthritis and have no more migraine headaches or sleep apnea.

I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with clients to enable them to achieve a healthy, happy lifestyle. We can do this together. I’ll be with you every step of the way on the road to a happier, healthier you.

BIG SCREEN Introducing diverse movies to diverse audiences is Jonathan Forman’s passion by nina polien light photography by samara katz

ONE might think a man who makes a living marketing movies and managing theaters spends his days viewing flicks and munching popcorn. But Cleveland Cinemas president Jonathan Forman doesn’t have that luxury.

Forman, who founded The Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) 35 years ago and today owns or operates 75 screens in nine Northeast Ohio theaters and one Pittsburgh location, still sees his fair share of thrillers – and more than a few duds. But since handing over the reins of CIFF years ago, he limits himself to attending the annual Toronto and Sundance festivals, representing about 50 screenings.

“It’s not fun to do nothing but get up in the morning, go to the first movie at 8:30, then just have enough time to grab coffee and a sandwich and watch more movies back-to-back,” reveals Forman, 57, of the weeklong events. “It’s not the way movies were meant to be enjoyed. There’s not enough time to think and process them.”

During the year’s other 50 weeks, he views over 100 movies, but not always on the big screen. Sometimes he’ll grab a DVD from an overflowing pile on his desk at the Cleveland Cinemas office in Solon and watch it in 15- to 20-minute increments as his busy schedule allows.

Forman’s interest in cinematography began at Case Western Reserve University after the architectural program he was enrolled in was discontinued.

“I wasn’t doing as well as I should have in my core classes to make me believe I could become the next Frank Lloyd Wright anyway,” admits Forman, who grew up in a Reform Jewish family in suburban New York and now lives in Moreland Hills with his wife, TV producer Jane Temple, who sings in her Unitarian Church choir. “Then I took an ‘Understanding Movies’ course from Prof. Lou Giannetti, who inspired me and introduced me to aspects of movie-going and watching that I was unfamiliar with.”

While serving as a student chairman of the CWRU Film Society, Forman immersed himself in learning about alternative films, as well as film selection, programming and marketing. He graduated with a degree in speech communications, worked for a while, and eventually found himself unemployed. The young movie buff was also frustrated that the CWRU Film Society was the only source for alternative, independent and foreign-language films in the region. So his friend, advertising executive Alan Glazen, encouraged Forman to start a film festival here.

“I wasn’t certain Cleveland was ready for a bona fide film festival, so I thought, ‘Why not promote this as the ‘New York Film Festival comes to Cleveland’? But they weren’t interested in lending their name. Alan said, ¢

Permaculture is a sustainable land-use design based on ecological

and biological principles. The goal is to use patterns occurring in nature to create stable, productive systems that provide for human needs while harmoniously integrating the land with its inhabitants.

“I have always had a lovely garden but was drawn to permaculture three years ago when I had cancer,” says Feldman. Her illness caused “bring health to myself and to the environment.”

Throughout the transformation of her garden, Feldman was determined not to sacrifice beauty. “I strove for the cottage garden feel, flowing with an abundance of flowers, life and color,” she says.

With the assistance of landscape designer Elsa Johnson, Feldman’s garden uses texture, variegated foliage and intriguing planters to add heightened visual impact.

She built a large oval swimming pool enhanced by a curved portico of classical columns to add to the serene beauty of her backyard paradise.

The Shaker Heights resident’s latest permaculture addition is an edible forest garden on the side of her home that includes tea bushes, ginger, goldenseal, ginseng, spinach vine, hardy kiwi and paw-paw. “I want to Once a lawn, this area was turned into an arch filled with structural evergreens, flowers and squash surrounding the apple tree guild.

Cool facts about chocolate: 71% of American chocolate eaters prefer milk chocolate.

Make your own chocolate feast recipes by joan kekst

Cacao beans come from a tree that is a species of the genus Theobroma, which translated is “food of the gods.”

Chocolate does not contribute to acne.

However, the milk in milk chocolate might, so enjoy the benefits of dark chocolate.

Chocolate is poisonous to dogs and other domestic animals. The theobromine found in chocolate is a stimulant and can be too much for small animals.

Chocolate, particularly dark, contains high-quality antioxidants that can protect you from developing cancer and heart disease.

Chocolate is rich in magnesium and iron.

Chocolate makers use 40% of the world’s almonds and 20% of the world’s peanuts.

Chocolate’s melting point is just below your body temperature, so it melts in your mouth (“not in your hands”). Melting chocolate in your mouth raises brain activity and heart rate.

WARM, SOFT CHOCOLATE CAKES –Dairy or Pareve 8 T unsalted butter or 7 T pareve margarine; + more to grease molds 2 t flour + some for the molds 3 oz bittersweet chocolate 2 eggs + 2 egg yolks 1/4 C sugar Raspberries to garnish Preheat oven to 450º F. Butter and lightly flour four 4-oz. molds, custard cups or ramekins. Tap out excess flour.

Melt butter and chocolate together in microwave or double boiler. Meanwhile, beat eggs, yolks, and sugar together with a whisk or electric mixer until light and thick.

Whisk chocolate mixture, and while still warm, pour into egg mixture. Quickly beat in flour until just combined. Divide batter among molds. (Can be refrigerated several hours until ready to use.) Bake molds on a baking sheet for 12 minutes; centers will be soft, edges firm. Invert onto a plate and let sit 10 seconds. Lift and allow cakes to fall out. Serve immediately, garnished with several raspberries. Serves 4.

RICH CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO COOKIES –Dairy or Pareve 6 T cocoa powder 1/2 C flour 1/4 t baking powder 1/4 t salt 8 T unsalted butter or 7 T pareve margarine 8 oz bittersweet chocolate, divided 2 large eggs 1/4 C granulated sugar 2 t instant espresso granules 2 t vanilla 1 C walnuts, toasted and chopped Preheat oven to 350° F. Place two racks in center of oven.

Sift together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

Melt butter or margarine and 2/3 C chocolate in microwave on 50% power. Cool. Chop remaining chocolate into 1/4” pieces.

In an electric mixer beat eggs, sugar and espresso powder on high speed until mixture is pale and thick, about 4 minutes.

Reduce speed to medium; add melted chocolate mixture and vanilla.

Add dry ingredients and beat until just combined. Add remaining chocolate pieces and walnuts.

Line two baking pans with parchment paper; drop tablespoons of batter onto pans, leaving 2” between each cookie. Bake until tops crack, about 10-12 minutes, rotating pans at mid-point of baking time. Cool.

Serve with a bowl of strawberries. Store cookies airtight or freeze.

CHOCOLATE SHERBET –Dairy 1/2 C + 2 T unsweetened Dutch process cocoa 1 C sugar 1 t ground cinnamon Pinch of freshly ground black pepper Pinch of freshly ground nutmeg 1 C water 1 can (12 oz) evaporated skim milk 1 t vanilla In a small saucepan, mix cocoa, sugar, cinnamon, pepper and nutmeg. Whisk in water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and continue to whisk until smooth. Simmer 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat and whisk in evaporated milk and vanilla.

When cool, freeze in an ice cream maker according to directions for about 45 minutes to be served soft. Then freeze in an airtight container, covered.

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow pan covered with a sheet of plastic; stir from time to time until firm.

Return to food processor and fluff for about 15 seconds. Serves 4.

Vintage: the year’s must-have fashion trend YOU’RE seeing it everywhere, from runways to street-style blogs to Hollywood “It girls”: Retro vintage style is making a comeback. Preppy must-haves, lady-like accessories, and cuts inspired by classic styles have made their way back into fashion consciousness.

It’s easier than you think to be a part of the trend this season. Check out these simple tips for incorporating retro style into your wardrobe easily and affordably: • Shop your closet. Did you hang onto your favorite cashmere twin set, Peter Pan-collared blouse, or shortsleeve sweater from years past? These classic American sportswear separates are suddenly the must-haves of the season. Bring them back to the forefront of your closet. Have fun mixing and matching these pieces with on-trend accessories to create refreshing new looks.

• Focus on feminine details. Subtle accents like sparkly brooches,

• • • • • • •

a classic pearl bracelet, or a lady-like, structured handbag will bring your look to life. You’ll be able to find some easy-on-the-wallet options at vintage stores or by shopping your favorite discount store for deals on modern versions of these eye-catching styles.

• Stick to a soft palette. The “it” shades of the season are soft neutrals: pale pinks, camel hues and heather grays. The way to wear them is in accent pieces such as cardigans or blouses. Don them with your favorite jeans and a pair of versatile menswear-inspired shoes like penny loafers or brogues for an easy everyday look.

• Pull it all together. Remember these final tips to achieve the retro look: Figure-flattering styles were dominant in this era, so stay away from anything loose or baggy. Pair a simple up-do hairstyle with crisp, tailored clothing and snappy shoes. Looking polished from head to toe is the key to pulling off vintage style.L ARA content

With a steady stream of shoppers during their limited daytime hours, Gans’s biggest challenge is getting enough artwork to fill the shelves. “A lot of student artists don’t want to part with their work,” she explains. And since artists have a “different mindset than business people, they do not respond promptly to deadlines.”

Beth Apisdorf, 19, is one of the student artists selling her wares at The Vault. The fashion design major, daughter of Cheryl and Jeff Apisdorf of Beachwood, is excited her jewelry is selling so quickly. “I feel fortunate The Vault opened this year,” she says.

Gans’s parents are fully supporting her efforts. They recently stopped at the boutique and put in custom orders for artwork for their home.

15 MINUTES OF

F U N Cleveland native makes a surprise splash on “Conan” by arlene fine

MIKE Saig is not sure if it was his wicked wicker fedora, his handlebar moustache, or his off-beat personality, but something about him caught the attention of a famous red-haired talk-show host and sent him on a journey to … well … his own kind of stardom.

Cleveland native Saig was sitting in the audience at the Los Angelesbased

“Conan”

TV

show

on

Thursday afternoon, Feb. 3, when he was plucked from obscurity to appear on camera with host Conan O’Brien.

Saig, the son of Allison Shippy of Medina, was enjoying the show when TBS late-night personality O’Brien announced he was sending an audience member to Dallas the next morning to attend the Super Bowl that Sunday.

“He walked down the aisle, stopped at my seat, joked about my

bers, whom he calls “the nicest guys ever.”

The studio audience – and a few hours later: American TV viewers – watched the ecstatic Saig waving his hat as he was whisked away in a deluxe limo, heading for his Super Bowl weekend.

Saig, 24, who works three jobs as a synagogue youth director, a Hebrew teacher, and a server at a coffee shop, was allowed a quick stop to pack his bags. He texted his mother to watch “Conan” that evening.

“I fell asleep before the show and found out what happened the next morning when I watched the prerecorded segment,” says Shippy. “I was amazed – and thrilled for Michael.”

For three days, the Brush High and Ohio University graduate “lived the

“The only thing missing from the insane weekend was sleep,” Saig says.

A TBS production team took thousands of pictures and videos of Saig’s weekend. A 10-minute segment of this material was aired on “Conan” when Saig returned Mon., Feb. 7.

Prior to the show, O’Brien came into Saig’s dressing room, and “we hung out for a while,” Saig reports. “He told me to just go out there and be natural – that it would be funnier that way.”

On air, O’Brien complimented Saig on being such a good sport and offered to call his boss because he missed a few days of work.

CAPE TOWN story and photography by masada siegel

CAPE Town is the second largest city in South Africa, and to sum it up in the words of the locals, it is simply “stunning.” The scenic backdrop is Table Mountain; it has a perfect view of all the different areas of the city. Facing north from the top of the mountain, you will find the city center, where the docks are filled with ships. On the west side is a magnificent mountain range known as the “Twelve Apostles.” It borders a beautiful beach called Camps Bay, which is like a mini-South Beach, filled with bustling bars and restaurants. On the south side, the mountains are filled with historic vineyards

and the gorgeous Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

In Cape Town, outdoor adventures are waiting to be had, such as windsurfing around Table Bay, jumping off Lion’s Head mountain and paragliding close to Clifton. Myriad paths are perfect for mountain biking and hiking all over the city.

The tight-knit Jewish community in South Africa dates back to the 15th century with the early explorers from the Dutch East India Company. However, the first congregation in South Africa was founded in Cape Town in 1841.

The Jewish community is extremely welcoming, and the people I met had a wonderful sense of humor. Late one Friday afternoon at Camps Bay, I knocked on the door of a store that was closing because I wanted to buy the beach towel hanging in the window.

The shop owner smiled, unlocked the door, and let me in. While I was paying, he noticed my name, told me he had been to Masada, and with a wicked grin asked me shouldn’t I be going to shul? As we got to talking, I found out he had been close friends with my father’s first cousin, who had passed away over 10 years ago. Talk about Jewish geography!

I stayed in the Sea Point area of the city, and it felt like a mini-Israel. On Shabbat, lots of families were walking back and forth

from shul. There are a few kosher restaurants to try and even more synagogues.

Several day trips are worth taking to explore the breathtaking countryside around Cape Town. These can either be taken with a tour or on your own in a rental car, if you feel confident driving on the other side of the road.

The first trip is to South Africa’s world-famous Cape Winelands around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek.

The enormous mountains are filled with valleys full of vines.

Dozens of wineries provide wine tastings and lunch and are ideal spots to enjoy the scenery.

Another day trip is to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope, where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic. The winding roads are filled with glorious views of green mountains with steep drops into the blue ocean. This is where sailors rounded Africa en route to India. On the way, you will pass Muizenberg, a beach town that has long, white sandy beaches and is where Agatha Christie went surfing 80 years ago. On this side of the peninsula, known as False Bay, the sea is warmer and some of the best whale- watching spots can be found.

This drive is dotted with little roadside markets filled with beautiful carvings. The vendors sell a variety of African goods, such as soapstone statues from Zimbabwe, jewelry and wood items.

One of my favorite stops on this day trip was Boulders Beach, past Fish Hoek and south of Simon’s Town, an

Secrets

OF THE

Kiwifruit

CALIFORNIA KIWIFRUIT SQ UARES 1-1/4 C flour 1/3 C powder ed sugar, divi ded 1/2 C butter or margarine 1 C sugar 2 California ki wifruit, pared and puréed 2 eggs, beaten 1 t lime juice 1/2 t grated lim e peel 1/2 t baking po wder

DID you know that the kiwifruit is one of nature’s most perfect foods?

Discovered in ancient China, the berry (which grows on vines like grapes) was known as Chinese gooseberry by the mid1800s. The kiwi arrived in California in the early 1960s and was nicknamed “kiwifruit” because it was imported from New Zealand. Today, fewer than 300 family farms produce more than 98% of all the kiwifruit grown in the U.S.

Combine flour and 1/4 C powd ered sugar. Cu into flour mixt t butter ure until mixt ure looks like cornmeal.

Pat into 9-inch square pan. Ba ke at 350º F fo minutes. Com r 15 bine sugar, ki wi fruit, eggs, lim juice, lime pe e el and baking powder. Pour baked crust. Re ov er turn to oven. Ba ke for 25 more utes. Cool an mind sprinkle wi th remaining sugar. Cut into po wd er ed 16 squares.

Nutritionally, kiwifruit packs a powerful wallop. Low in calories and naturally fatfree, kiwifruit offers: • Two and a half times the recommended daily allowance of immune system booster vitamin C. • More fiber in two kiwis than a bowl of bran cereal.

• More potassium than a banana.

• Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that is found in just a handful of fat-free sources like kiwifruit.

even cocktails. To eat your kiwifruit, practice “slooping.” First, slice the kiwi in half lengthwise, and then scoop out the sweet flesh with a spoon –

Kiwifruit is great in a wide variety of recipes and dishes, from
