It’s like clockwork. Every year, about this time, I start to crave

summer. The winter weather tends to shut me in; whether I

can’t exercise outdoors or take a stroll for fresh air or don’t

go on social outings as often, I find that too much time indoors

leads to a host of unwanted side effects. Number one: I can

get a little blue; there is much to be said about the occurrence

of SAD – seasonal affective disorder. (For more information

on SAD, visit stylemg.com this month). Number two: With so

much of my time spent inside my home, I start to notice some

serious décor flaws. I mean can you imagine Nate Berkus’ face

if he were to witness the wallpaper border that is peeling from

our guest bedroom walls? Yes, I have wallpaper border. And it’s

peeling. I know it’s making a comeback, but trust me, mine is

not what’s trending now. While I have done little things around

the house over the years, my to-do list length is outpacing ac-

complishment.

So I was thinking that since a new view, or perspective, can

often raise one’s spirits, there’s no better time than now to gift

your inner artist – and your home interior – with a little refresh-

ment. I already feel better just thinking of ripping the wallpaper

down and coating my walls with crisp new color.

In need of inspiration for sprucing up your home décor?

Pull out your pinboard – this month we give you two features

with plenty to get the planning party started. First, in Megan

Wiskus’ Crib Appeal, she shares with us “20 Decorating Tips &

Tricks,” which she compiled from the notes of four successful,

local interior designers. Following, be prepared for surprise

with the transformation of a local home’s interiors that is truly

award-winning in Darren Elms’ Inside Job. He takes readers

on a tour that shows just how much can be accomplished with

the right vision and the right remodeling team. The “before”

and “after” shots say it all.

Another source for inner inspiration is in the garden, and even

better is sharing the experience with your family. This month in

Our Kids, Corrie Pelc highlights the benefits of getting children

involved in growing their own fruits and veggies, as well as tips

for getting a garden started.

It’s not spring yet though!

It’s February...and time to fall

in love with your inner spaces

again!

Youth perform at Thomas Kelly 2012 Winterfest

Art from REVERSE2

Julie Hirota with “Bleed and Breed II”

When Alyssa and Haley Ander-

son first started swimming

at local pools in Granite Bay,

they never imagined their summer hobby

would one day take them all the way to the

London Olympics. However, their mother

had been a competitive

swimmer in college, and

it soon became evident

that a talent for swim-

ming ran in the Ander-

son blood. It wasn’t long

before both girls began

to swim competitively

at both the national and

international level, even-

tually landing them a

spot on the U.S. Olympic swimming team.

In London, Alyssa, along with the other

members of her team, won gold in the 4 x

200-meter swimming freestyle relay, while

Haley took home the silver in the women’s

10-kilometer open water race. The girls

gettoknow

Q: What advice would you give to your

younger self?

A: Haley: Remember to always have fun

and don’t take yourself too seriously.

Q: What comes to you naturally?

A: Alyssa and Haley: Swimming!

Q: What’s your biggest pet peeve?

A: Alyssa: Loud chewers

Q: What are you most proud of?

A: Haley: Who I’ve become, through

swimming and life in general.

Q: Best words of wisdom you’ve

received?

A: Alyssa: You have to get comfortable

being uncomfortable to reach the

next level.

Q: What’s next?

A: Alyssa and Haley: Graduation

favoritesAuthor/writer: Alyssa: Nicholas Sparks;

Haley: Orson Scott Card (Ender’s Game)

Escape: Alyssa: shopping; Haley: the

beach

Guilty pleasure: Alyssa: dessert; Haley:

gummy worms

Meal in town: Alyssa: Mikuni; Haley: Pasta

Pomodoro

Memory: Alyssa: Making the Olympic

team with my sister! Haley: Going to

London with my family.

Haley and Alyssa AndersonQ&A

were thrilled with their success and the

chance to represent Granite Bay and the

U.S. on the global stage. “We’re both so

proud of each other,” Haley says.

These days, both girls are nearing the

end of their college careers. Haley con-

tinues to swim compet-

itively, and whenever

possible she and her

sister take time out of

their busy schedules

to visit children in local

hospitals and talk about

their experiences. Al-

though Alyssa plans to

retire from competitive

swimming, after gradu-

ation she hopes to inspire others to pur-

sue their goals. “We’re not superheroes,”

Alyssa says. “We just worked hard and

believed in ourselves...we never put a limit

on our dreams.” • — Amber Foster

Shel Silverstein, Dr. Seuss and Eminem were all young once.

Inspire a young poet in your life and encourage a passion

for writing. Sponsored by Friends of the Roseville Public

Library, the Annual Youth Poetry Contest is the perfect launch for

all young writers.

Now in its 25th year, the Annual Youth Poetry Contest of the

Roseville Public Library has inspired thousands of children to ex-

pand their vocabulary and explore their creative writing abilities.

From haikus and rhyming versus to ballads, odes and sonnets – exploring words, poetic

styles and creative writing is a great way to expand the minds of youth.

The poetry contest runs through February 28. Find more details and submit your poem

at any Roseville Public Library or online at roseville.ca.us/poetry.

— Jamie Finley

For more information about the variety of programs and events offered by the City

of Roseville Parks, Recreation and Libraries, visit roseville.ca.us.

WHAT’S IN SEASON NOW: SWISS CHARD!If ever an award were given for the vegetable with the

most nutrients, Swiss chard would take top honors. This

tall, leafy green vegetable belongs to the same family as

beets and spinach, and although it has a slightly bitter

taste, Swiss chard is referred to as “greens” (along with

kale, mustard and collard greens). The leaves of fresh,

young chard tend to be sweeter and can be enjoyed in

salads – providing color and nutrition. Whole, mature

stalks are typically chopped into bite-size pieces and

sautéed, or steamed for a longer period of time. Swiss

chard is high in vitamins A, C and K and rich in minerals,

fiber and protein.

HOW TO SERVE AND PAIR WITH LOCAL WINE:In addition to salads, Swiss chard is also good tossed with penne pasta, olive oil, lemon

juice and garlic. It can add a kick to a frittata and is great in place of spinach in vegetar-

ian lasagna. Swiss chard can be paired with a variety of local wines. In Placer County,

Secret Ravine Winery’s 2010 Cabernet Franc

from O’Conner Vineyard – a medium-bodied

red wine – complements the vegetal nature of

Swiss chard nicely, as opposed to a full-bodied

richer wine. The Cabernet Franc is a softer red

with a bit of spiciness and some herbaceous

qualities. You could also try the Vina Castellano

2005 Unfiltered Cabernet Franc, Le Casque

2009 Cabernet Franc or the Mt. Vernon 2010

Cabernet Franc. For more information on local

wine, visit placerwine.com.

SELECTION AND STORAGE:For the best flavor, chard should be pur-

chased chilled to ensure a crunchier tex-

ture and sweeter taste. The best chard

has leaves that are bright green and don’t

show any signs of browning or yellowing;

they should be free from tiny holes and

appear firm, not wilted. To keep chard as

fresh as possible, wait to give it a good

rinse until just before serving, as water

can encourage spoilage.

For the recipe to make Swiss Chard Soup,

visit stylemg.com.

For details on where to buy locally grown

Swiss chard, other in-season produce,

wine and more, visit placergrown.org and

foothillfarmersmarket.com..

— Susan Belknap

DID YOU KNOW?Swiss chard did not originate in

Switzerland. Farther south in the

Mediterranean region, the ancient

Greek philosopher, Aristotle, actually

wrote about it in the fourth century

B.C. The name “chard” comes from

another Mediterranean vegetable,

cardoon, which is a celery-like plant

with thick stalks that are similar in

appearance to chard.

In the music industry there are mile-

stones that mark success, and local

band Stillwood Sages has passed

quite a few. Being nominated for a 2012

Sammies Award and playing at world-

famous venues is just the beginning for

this three-year-old group.

There’s an old adage that says,

“Growing old is inevitable, growing up

is optional”; such is the mantra of Curtis

Hildebrand (a.k.a. the Flyin’ Cowboy), the

man behind the band. His unbridled en-

thusiasm for life and music is contagious.

As the playful heart of Stillwood Sages,

Hildebrand takes on the role of manager,

songwriter, producer and director. Joining

Hildebrand are John Morris on guitar, KM

Lowry on bass, and percussionist Steve

Marsh. All four members play off each

other – making great music by blending

blues, rock and funky soul into songs with

a message. Although it’s hard to describe

their style, the music proves to be vision-

ary and versatile. “These are all eccentric

and eclectic people,” Hildebrand says.

“Everybody in the band is a genius.”

When a person is deemed a sage they

are thought to have utilized their lifelong

experiences and reflections to become

wise. “All of the members give the group

the sage spirit,” Hildebrand says. “It is a

gift you’re giving to each other and also

receiving.” But it’s not solely the band

members who benefit from this, so do

audiences throughout our area and the

entire West Coast.

All of the highly trained and tal-

ented musicians bring adaptability

and energy to connect with the audi-

ence – constantly trying new material

and continually tweaking it until it feels

right. “We are very expressive on stage,”

Hildebrand shares. The group focuses

on the positive, as well as growing and

spreading love. “Our whole premise is

to change the world into a more loving

place,” Lowry says.

Hildebrand not only credits the mem- Ph

bers, but also his wife of eight years,

Gretchen, for the band’s success. He

admits she is one of the main reasons

Stillwood Sages is still alive. “She has the

capacity to understand what had to hap-

pen in my life to make this band happen,”

Hildebrand says.

This month, they’re ecstatic to be per-

forming their new hits “Change,” “Wild

Poet Eyes” and “Without a Net” at West

Hollywood’s legendary venue Whisky A

Go-Go. In addition to “covering” some

songs from their favorite artists, the pro-

fessional posse perform mostly original

tunes and write from personal experi-

ences. “Our music is real,” Hildebrand

admits. “It’s organic.” Lowry passionately

adds, “Create or you will die.”

The band’s first priority is to serve the

song and let the listener interpret it as

they will. “Stillwood Sages is so great

because we have fun on stage and we

jive,” Hildebrand says. The members are

quick to point out that their band is not

about making a living. “It’s not about the

money,” Hildebrand says. “It is the energy

and connection with the audience that is

the real payoff.” •

You may think February is all

cutesy hearts and the color red

because of Valentine’s Day, but

it’s also American Heart Month and time

to remember the significance of cardio-

vascular disease – which kills more than

2,000 Americans daily – and the impor-

tance of a heart-healthy lifestyle.

“Cardiovascular disease is the num-

ber one killer of people in America,”

says Dr. Michael Kirchner, an interven-

tional cardiologist with Mercy Medical

Group. “This is something to take seri-

ously.” According to Dr. Reetu Sharma,

a spokesperson for the American Heart

Association and a cardiologist with Sut-

ter Roseville Medical Center and Sutter

Lincoln, “Cardiovascular disease kills

more women than all cancers com-

bined.”

SIGNS & SYMPTOMSAccording to the National Heart, Lung and

Blood Institute, a “heart attack occurs if

the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a section

of the heart muscle suddenly becomes

blocked. If blood flow isn’t restored quickly,

the section of heart muscle begins to die.”

Heart and vascular problems affect

both men and women. Men are typically

at risk after age 40, while post-meno-

pausal women in their 50s, 60s and 70s

are most vulnerable. Classic warning signs

include chest pain, shortness of breath,

heart palpitations, irregular heartbeat and

weakness on one side. Women often ig-

nore symptoms because they think heart

disease is a “man’s disease.” “Women can

often have nausea or shortness of breath,

[which] they may dismiss as anxiety or

gas,” Dr. Sharma says.

MINIMIZE RISK FACTORS: KNOw YOuR NuMbERSTake symptoms seriously and minimize

risk factors, such as high cholesterol (total

cholesterol over 200 mg) and high blood

pressure (anything higher than 140/90).

“Knowing your numbers and changing your

lifestyle is so important,” Dr. Sharma says.

“People who control their numbers are

less likely to have complications

of cardiovascular disease.”

HEAlTHY HAbITSLack of exercise is also bad

for the heart. “I believe an

exercise program needs to be a

part of your daily regimen,” says

Dr. George Fehrenbacher, co-

medical director of cardiology

with Sutter Roseville Medical

Center. Plan to get about

2.5 hours of moderate

exercise each week.

“Exercise helps you in

many more ways than

simply preventing

heart disease,” he says,

explaining regular exercise can help fight

depression, give you increased stamina and

improve your general well-being.

“Stopping smoking is probably more

beneficial than [anything else] you can do,”

Dr. Sharma says. Good nutrition is also cru-

cial to cardiovascular health. “Diet is a very

important part of modification of risks,”

says Dr. Kirchner, who recommends eating

foods high in fiber and lots of fruits and

vegetables, while avoiding trans fats and

saturated fats. He also advises reducing

your salt intake, reading food labels and

cutting down on red meat consumption.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCYIf you have symptoms, don’t wait. Call 911

and go to the emergency room immedi-

ately. “We’re geared up 24 hours a day,

7 days a week, 365 days a year to stop

heart attacks,” Dr. Fehrenbacher says.

“We want patients [with heart trouble]

to call 911 early.”

Remember, healthy habits will im-

prove your chances of having cardio-

vascular problems. “Prevention is very

important,” Dr. Sharma says. “You’re

saving hospitalizations, damage to your

heart and lots of stress.” •

and then reap the benefits as they harvest

what they’ve grown.

Amber Siglar, nursery assistant at Bush-

nell Gardens Nursery & Supply Shoppe in

Granite Bay who also volunteers at her

daughter’s school garden, says there’s a

number of educational lessons kids can

glean in the garden, from younger kids

exploring worms to older ones learning

about composting. “It’s really great to just

dig in the soil, and just being out in the

garden is good – they’re going to be learn-

ing,” she adds.

a school garden consisting of six garden

boxes that’s cultivated by students in junior

kindergarten through fifth grade – finds

students discover how their food grows

and the possibilities for what they can do

with it. “We saw a big change in what the

children asked to eat,” she explains. “I’ve

had children say, ‘I don’t have a snack today,

can I go get some tomatoes?’”

WHAT TO PLANTSo which plants are the best to grow when

gardening with kids? Siglar says little ones

love vegetables (think peas and cherry to-

matoes) that they can pick right off the

vine and eat. “Also strawberries. They’re

low to the ground, easy to find and bright

red,” she says.

Proett says root vegetables, like carrots

and turnips, can be fun since harvesting

becomes a “treasure hunt.” “You pull them

up and it’s a big surprise what it’s going

to look like,” she says. She also suggests

growing vegetables like peas or tomatoes

where one plant produces a lot of fruit.

“[It’s] nice because you can keep picking

off of [the plant] and it keeps producing

more, rather than the plant being done

once it’s picked,” she says.

GET GROWINGDo you want to start a garden with your

child, but have limited space? Accord-

ing to Siglar, you’re not out of luck. All

you really need is a small planter box or

pot containers to start, she says. “A larger

space may be harder to manage if you

really want to get the children involved,

because you’re going to be doing the ma-

jority of the work, so a smaller space that’s

designated just as the children’s garden is

a great idea,” she explains.

And what if you feel your thumbs are

more black than green? No worries, Proett

says. She encourages everyone to give gar-

dening a try. “The wonderful thing is if you

just give a plant the basics – some soil, wa-

ter and light – it’s going to grow,” she says.

“The light that comes into kids’ eyes when

they watch what they planted grow and

they can harvest it is pretty fantastic.”•

Challenge weekends as guests,

and Burke has been director the

past two years. Like everyone

connected with Me-One, Burke

is a volunteer.

One of the camp’s benefits,

Burke says, is the opportunity

it gives kids to interact with

other children whose parents

have cancer. “Kids can feel

isolated because no one else

understands what they’re re-

lating to. At camp, they get

to see they’re not the only

ones with a mom or dad go-

ing through cancer.”

Campers must be at least

18, and support groups can

qualify as families, says Chris

Maudru, a co-founder and

Me-One’s president. No one

has been turned away, but

patients in active treatment

are given priority. All camp-

ers must provide medical

documentation.

Camp Challenge is funded through

donations raised at several events each

year. As Maudru frequently stresses, 100

percent of the money goes toward the

camp.

“Putting on this camp is a lot of

work,” Maudru says, “but when you see

the smiles on people’s faces, it is so well

worth it. We give families memories that

will last the rest of their lives.” •

Visit me-onefoundation.org for more

information.

music, square dancing, a casino night,

zip lines, and a “safe” 50-foot jump from

a redwood. Just sitting quietly under a

tree is all right, too. For adults, the piece

de resistance is a full-service spa staffed

by therapists specially trained to work

with cancer patients.

Burke brings a critical perspective

to the camp’s success. He has pancre-

atic cancer, the illness that took Apple

co-founder Steve Jobs’ life. Six years

ago Burke was given six months to live.

With their two young children, the Burke

family attended the first three Camp

For families of a parent with

cancer, dealing with the ill-

ness can be a lonely strug-

gle. Patient, spouse and children

face an uncertain future, and at a

time when sharing could provide

solace, many families – especially

kids – don’t have anyone in

whom to confide.

As the daughter, god-

daughter and now wife of a

cancer patient, Roseville’s

Heidi Wieser knows this lone-

liness firsthand. Seven years

ago, looking to help others

in similar circumstances,

Wieser founded the Me-

One Foundation, a nonprofit

dedicated to giving families

a time-out from the burdens

of their illness.

For the past five years, one

weekend a year, Me-One has

sent cancer families to camp.

For three days, patients, their

spouses and children, are

pampered, entertained and cared for at

Camp Challenge – set this year for June

28-30 at Mission Springs Conference

Center in wooded Scott’s Valley. The

weekend is completely free, even down

to gas for the drive home.

And what a weekend it is. Campers

are welcomed on Friday by pompom-

waving cheerleaders then shown to their

private rooms. All weekend, they are free

to enjoy, in the words of Camp Director

John Burke, “high-octane activities”

such as a carnival, sports, swimming,

A Much Needed Get-Awayby Linda Holderness


When the check from the Inter-

nal Revenue Service shows

up in your mailbox (or is

electronically deposited into your bank

account) the urge most have is to take

the money and buy a 55-inch TV or a

new wardrobe, but experts say there’s a

better thing to do with that tax refund –

save or invest it.

Darla Colson, CPA, MST, of Gilbert As-

sociates, Inc., CPAs and Advisors, says

the majority of people don’t budget for

their tax refunds or plan how to use them,

so they tend to spend them on items

they want rather than items they need.

While that can be instantly gratifying, the

money is often spent on something that

is barely remembered the next year.

“By saving your refund, you can com-

pound the effect of the refund for years Ph

to come,” Colson says. “You can build

up a rainy day fund, increase savings

for retirement or increase savings for

college.”

One of the best ways to save – and

turn some of your income into tax-free

savings – is to put the money into a 401(k)

or similar retirement fund. If the tax re-

turn is $1,200, then putting an extra $100

into a 401(k) each month leaves you with

the same money in-hand, but that extra

$100 per month is coming out of your

paycheck tax-free. “Put the refund to

work for you by having it help you save

additional taxes in the current year,” Col-

son says.

People all need to save differently, de-

pending on where they are in life, Colson

adds. “Your age, marital status and phase

in life will all affect the best places for

you to save money,” she says. “From the

time you start your first job through the

day before retirement, saving money for

retirement is the most important savings

you can make.”

She advises saving 10-15 percent of

all income for retirement. If you start that

on the first day of work, you learn to live

within the smaller income, and you will

have much more money when it comes

time to retire. The earlier you start saving,

the more money you will have. Starting

late means needing to make up for lost

time, and that gets tough both math-

ematically and when it comes to living

within the smaller means once you start

putting more money away.

Many young parents, she adds, want

to save money for their kids’ college

funds, but she advises to save for that

only after saving for retirement, as most

parents end up paying for the college

expenses out of their current earnings

while the kids are at school.

In some cases, spending your tax re-

turn may be the best way to save in the

long run, Colson adds – but don’t head to

the local Best Buy just yet. First priority,

she says, should be paying off high-rate

debt such as credit cards. Paying off that

debt will mean less out-of-pocket money

spent on interest fees in the long run, and

is often a smarter financial decision. •

agement, visit stylemg.com.

If you touch it every day, it should be beautiful. From

your cabinet knobs, to your

toothbrush holder, to your

mail tray – make sure these items are

special. Interesting metals, cut glass or

found items (such as a mint julep cup),

will do the trick.

Less is more. For a simple

restroom facelift, attach lacy

fabric with a staple gun and

create fabric cascades in the

room’s corners. Black velvet ribbon can be

applied with glue to trim bottom edge and

cover staples, and fun accessories can be

added to express the homeowner’s per-

sonality. For a quirky art wall, use a poster,

empty window frame (painted black) and

add a fake Roman valance. No sewing in-

volved – just glue, staples and creativity. Ph

Brighten your outlook. On

your next farmers’ market

run, buy a bunch of single-

colored hydrangeas or a

bag of lemons and put them in a vase by

the kitchen sink. Doing the dishes won’t

seem like such a chore anymore.

Sleep in. If a lazy Saturday

morning is impossible to

come by, find the next best

thing: sheets and bedding

that make you want to stay in bed all day.

Make it yours. The most

fun and effective way to

reflect your personal style

and spruce up a space is to

monogram something. Have your initials

embroidered on a pillow, sandblast a

single initial onto a glass door, or simply

print a single letter in color and frame it.

You’ll be surprised by the authenticity it

adds to your home.

Curate your own gallery.

Eye-catching art can come

in all different forms (from

photography to painting to

sculpture) and prices. Mix your gallery

up with typography, kids’ projects and

originals. You can even create an evolv-

ing gallery by using art ledges stacked

upon each other. (Ikea 5’ ledges in black

are approximately $25 each.)

Refresh without replacing. Painting cabinets is

less expensive than replacing them and will give

your kitchen or bathroom a whole new look. After,

add the jewelry (hardware) to enhance interest and

protect the new finish.

Try a new color scheme. Color can change a bland,

cold bedroom into a warm, inviting space. Don’t forget

to paint the ceiling, too. A lighter shade will make the

room feel larger and spacious; painting it darker will

bring the ceiling down, making the room feel more intimate.

Refresh your accessories. Perhaps a new piece of art

or the addition of an exciting piece of sculpture will set

the tone for a wonderful, fresh makeover! Choose one

contrasting color to make a real “pop.”

Let there be light. Use dimmers wherever possible.

Change lampshades and install new light fixtures.

Try something unexpected like a beautiful chande-

lier in your kitchen.

Remember scale and proportion. One picture may

be too small, but place it together with several others

and you have a striking collection. And remember: To

brighten any floor, add a stunning area rug.

Start small, go big. To make small picture frames

pop, take large rattan wall squares (available at Home-

Goods) and hang them on the wall with the frames

wired to the front. To give a small tabletop a larger sur-

face area, lay a mirror on top and accessorize with existing items.

Trick your eyes. Adding a valance above and over low

existing drape panels will fool the eye into thinking

the panels are longer than they actually are. Having

panels closer to the ceiling helps increase the height

of a room. For a more updated look, add a decorative rod.

Use your walls. If you have taller ceilings, don’t be

afraid to raise the height of your drapes, shelving and

artwork. Many times this alone can add some drama

and interest to a room.

Out with the old, in with the new. Replace worn fab-

ric on a dining room chair with a fun animal print.

Unscrew seat from chair, take old fabric off (reuse

existing foam if in good shape or replace if necessary),

put a layer of batting and wrap new fabric over; staple fabric to the

bottom of chair seat, then screw seat back to chair. Make sure to

label and keep each seat with each chair, since screw holes never

line up. Designer’s note: DIY upholstery classes are offered at Triad

Plus Home Fashions and Fabrics in Roseville.

Go green. Bring in greenery,

like a living plant or quality

faux flower arrangement.

From the ground up. Up-

date your flooring to a warm

wood or stone tile. This will

also make you change your

boring baseboards to something substan-

tial; after, add an area rug to bring color and

warmth to the space.

Variety is the spice of life.

Bring in a piece of furniture

(accent chair, unique table,

etc.) – something different

than other items you have. This creates

interest in the room and can also serve as

a conversation piece.

Give your home the royal treatment . Have crown

molding installed to add value

to your home or office.

Create drama with drapes.

Add drapery to your windows

or sliding glass doors. Even if

you have blinds, drapes will

bring drama and warmth.

Not all contractors are created

equal. When taking on the daunt-

ing task of a home remodel, find-

ing the perfect team can make or break a

project. Luckily, the greater Sacramento

area benefits from the local chapter of

NARI, the National Association of the Re-

modeling Industry (narisacto.org).

Members of NARI are trusted and

experienced professionals in the remod-

eling field, including design-build firms,

manufacturers, suppliers, distributors,

subcontractors, lenders and other related

professionals.

Established as a not-for-profit corpo-

ration through the Greater Sacramento

Chapter of NARI in 2001, the NARI Edu-

cation Fund provides scholarships to

students pursuing a career in construc-

tion and grants to programs that provide

construction education in the classroom.

Additionally, NARI honors some of its

members yearly with the Contractor of

the Year (CotY) Awards. Chosen for their

expertise in specific categories based on

size of project, room and budget, the se-

lected members hope to generate future

contracts from new clients impressed with

their work.

Not a traditional design competition,

the CotY’s look at how the overall project

met and exceeded clients needs and goals.

According to Brenda Kress, executive di-

rector of the Greater Sacramento Chapter

of NARI, project binders are submitted

and viewed by a panel of judges who are “Befo

normally NARI members from other chap-

ters. “Using a point system, each entry is

graded in 10 overall categories,” she says.

“At the conclusion, points are added up

and those in each category with the high-

est points win. The judges also select a

Judges’ Choice Award based on their col-

lective decision, not points.”

This year’s winner in the “Residential

Interior $100,000 & Over” category – Dale

Nichols of Artisan Remodeling, Inc., which

is based Granite Bay – reflects that perfect

combination of experienced craftsman-

ship and quality service. And it all began

at the Auburn Home Show.

“We had been wanting to update our

house for a long time, and when I saw

Dale’s booth, I went over and started talk-

Every Homeowner Should Ask A

Contractor Before Hiring

Submitted by Dale Nichols of Artisan Remodeling, Inc.

1. How long have you been in business as a remodeling contractor?

2. Can you show me photos of jobs you have done that are similar to mine?

3. Can you provide me with referrals from the owners of the jobs you have shown me?

4. Do you carry general liability and worker’s compensation insurance?

5. What have you accomplished that sets you apart from other remodeling contractors and shows me that you are a true professional, such as certifications earned or awards you have won?

ing to him,” shares homeowner Christie

Brzyscz, on behalf of herself and husband,

Jerry. “We set up an appointment for him

to come look at our house and the rest is

history.”

Since the project appeared to be a

good “design-build” candidate, Nichols

brought in designer Natalie Bachli of Nat-

alie Bachli Design in Folsom to consult.

“The homeowners liked what Natalie and

I offered in terms of a team approach to

designing and building the project, so we

were hired and proceeded with the work,”

Nichols says.

According to Christie, the home was

more than out of date. “It had a ’70s style

[appearance] and the rooms were very

dark. All the walls were one color through-

out and [the home had] lots of oak cabi-

netry.”

The original home came in at just under

1,400 square feet, and without the option

to add to the floor plan, Nichols and his

crew gutted the entire interior down to

the drywall and sub-floor to completely

start over. They also moved walls to open

up the kitchen area and made the master

suite more functional.

Once the new floor plan was in place,

Bachli began working her interior design

magic. “I have always been big on making

small spaces feel bigger and maximiz-

ing their functionality, so I wanted to give

them a home that allowed them to have

features a house much larger would have,”

Bachli shares. “I love when master bed-

rooms feel like a vacation getaway, so my

plan was to create an organized walk-in

closet to keep the room free of clutter and

excess furniture, give them a cozy sitting

area, and add windows to bring in light, as

well as a French door that opens to a new

deck – giving the room a more spacious

feeling. A beautiful, inviting master bath

that included a soaker tub was a must as

well.” Bachli and Nichols also honored the

clients’ request for more natural light with

the addition of new windows and chose a

lighter paint palette for the walls to let the

rooms breathe.

While construction took eight months,

the overall project spanned a full year.

“Even though we moved to our other

house two hours away, we still had weekly

and sometimes twice-weekly meetings at

the house,” Christie says. “We had the final

say on all choices and options.” Though

the LED-recessed lighting in the sloped

ceiling took longer to complete than an-

ticipated and upgrades were required to

existing plumbing and electrical, the extra

months proved worth it in the end.

“The homeowners were wonderful to

work with and were an important part of

the team approach that it took to get this

job done,” Nichols says. “Most importantly,

they were trusting enough to go along with

our recommendations and were delighted

with the results.” Adds Bachli, “Dale and I

work really well together. From a design-

er’s perspective, it’s one thing when you

have a contractor who is great at project

management and works with sub-con-

tractors who are passionate, professional

and experienced. It’s another thing when

the contractor actually works with the de-

signer to bring their vision to life. He was

as emotionally invested in this project as I

was. There was a great synergy there and

I think the clients definitely felt it.”

While larger budgets with greater

resources can sometimes yield more

options, this winning project proves it

takes more than dollars to make a home

exceptional. “I think the judges have the

ability to look at what was done with

what resources were available, both in

terms of the size and scope of the project

and the budget,” Nichols says. “I think

our team showed that you can do a lot

to improve not only the appearance but

the livability of a smaller home, and the

judges recognized that.” •

Festival de CausasIt’s the kind of dish that produces meat so tender one hardly needs the steak knife it’s presented with.

La HuacaPlates of Peruby Kelly Soderlund


La Huaca translates roughly from

Spanish into “the temple,” which

begins to make sense as one en-

ters a world dedicated to one of South

America’s oldest and most storied cul-

tures: Peru. Reed music, Andean pillows

and hardback books on Peruvian gas-

tronomy and life greet guests as they

walk through the door, and each turn

of the head thereafter is delighted with

a new decorative charm; ropes used as

dividers, glass-blown hurricane ceiling

lamps, a backlit wall replete with col-

ored-water filled jars.

Although I’m a complete sucker for

ceviche (and they offer quite a bit of

it!), after spying another server carting

out a long plate adorned with colorful

offerings, I wanted something a bit more

authentic, so my dining partner and I

started with the Festival de Causas. A

sampling of four of their five different

causa options – citrus chicken, mari-

nated octopus, fried chicken and shrimp

– adorned the top of a mesa of mashed

yellow potatoes and were drizzled with

respective sauces.

The appetizer itself was pretty

hearty, but our eyes still widened as the

server presented us with our entrées. I

had the Salmon del Sur, a seared fillet

drizzled with chimichurri and resting

over a citrusy quinoa salad made with

broccoli, spears of crisp asparagus, arti-

choke hearts and cherry tomatoes. The

salmon was delicate and cooked to taste

at just opaque.

My partner chose a heartier plate,

the Pachamanca Tres Carnes, an as-

semblage of chicken, beef and pork

all slow-cooked in homemade Andean

herb sauce and served over baby po-

tatoes and baby corn. It’s the kind of

dish that produces meat so tender one

hardly needs the steak knife it’s pre-

sented with.

All of the dishes include wine sugges-

tions, and the bar also offers authentic

Peruvian drinks – both alcoholic and

non. Vegetarians can also rest assured in

this restaurant, since almost every plate

can be made into a meat-free version.

La Huaca makes Peruvian cuisine ac-

cessible for all spectrums of palates and

proves a refreshing change of pace in

Roseville. •

I call these Indian burritos (though they’re

properly known as “kati rolls”) because

they’re transportable treats rolled up in

a flatbread. My version isn’t particularly

traditional, but it is quite delicious. –Aida

Mollenkamp

Curried Cauliflower

• 3 tbsp. canola, grapeseed, or peanut oil

• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and

grated

• 1 to 1 -1/2 tbsp. curry powder

• 1 head cauliflower (about 1 -1/2 lbs.),

florets cut into bite-sized pieces

• Kosher salt

• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped

• 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

• 1 serrano chile, halved and seeded

• 8 oz. red-skinned potatoes, small dice

cut

• 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth,

chicken broth, or water

• 1 cup shelled fresh or frozen baby peas

• 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro

Burrito

• 4 to 6 soft whole-wheat flatbreads

(such as roti, lavash or tortilla),

warmed

• Plain whole milk yogurt, for garnish

• Chutney, for garnish

for the Curry

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in

a large frying pan over medium-

high heat. When the oil shim-

mers, add the ginger, half of the

curry powder, and all of the cau-

liflower. Season with salt and

cook, stirring occasionally, until

fragrant and the cauliflower is

golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.

Remove to a plate with a slot-

ted spoon.

Wipe out the pan, return to

the stove over medium heat and

add the remaining 1 tablespoon

of oil. When it shimmers, add the Co

onion, garlic and chile, season with salt and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in

the remaining curry powder and cook until fragrant. Add the cauliflower, potatoes and

broth, and bring to a boil.

Decrease the heat to low, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the cover and stir

through to coat the cauliflower. Cover again and simmer until the potatoes are knife-tender,

12 to 15 minutes. Remove the cover, add the peas and cook until they are bright, about 3

minutes. Adjust the seasoning as desired, then stir in the cilantro.

for the Burritos

To make the burrito, place the curried cauliflower mixture in the middle of the flatbreads.

Top with yogurt and chutney, fold in sides, then roll up into a burrito shape and serve.

Serves 4 to 6.

2010 forefront CaBernet sauVIGnon Forefront is an amazing wine from Napa County’s Pine Ridge Winery. Known for

making incredible tasting and expensive Cabernets, this particular wine, the winery’s

second label, can be found at a lower price point – approximately $20 a bottle.

Forefront Cabernet Sauvignon is made mostly with grapes from Napa, in

addition to a small amount from Lake County. A combination of Cabernet (78

percent), Merlot (13 percent) and Petite Verdot (9 percent), the wine is left to age

in French oak barrels for 16 months, which greatly enhances its taste. (Normally it

also enhances the price, but not with this wine!) The bottling boasts a bouquet of

sweet red cherry, ripe blackberry and notes of fresh cranberry; on the finish, it has

hints of creamy cocoa and sweet oak, which makes for an easy-to-drink wine. It’s

always a great idea to look for distinguished wineries that offer second labels such

as Forefront. Usually, as is this case, it’s a winning combination! •—richard righton

The Original

GETTING THEREWe chose Celebrity for a variety of rea-

sons, including their stellar reputation and

Alaskan cruise itinerary. After setting the

date and a quick flight to Seattle, my travel

companion and I were on our way. Seattle

is a sizable cruise port and all lines offer

transportation to the port with an easy

bag check included; just collect your lug-

gage from baggage claim, head to the

cruise’s check-in area, and your bags are

taken. The next stop? Your stateroom on

board.

FIRST IMPRESSIONSAfter a simple check-in process, we

boarded, received the requisite safety info,

and started exploring the vessel, Equinox*.

First impression: It’s very, very big! Suf-

fice it to say, you can spend quite a bit of

time visiting the different areas of the ship:

restaurants, gym, salon and spa, casino,

shops, multiple lounges, café, indoor and

outdoor pools and spas. Continuing our

exploration, we came upon a terrific the-

ater (on par with those found in some of

the great Las Vegas hotels), a library, and

a computer room set up with iMacs and

Internet connection. Did I mention we had

WiFi available throughout the ship? As for

WiFi speed, you won’t be uploading and

downloading big files, but it works for surf-

ing and accessing email. (AT&T offered a

low cost “texting” package while we were

at sea and it did a nice job of keeping us in

touch during the voyage.)

OUT TO SEAMy favorite part of any vacation – dining

– called for a multi-level, all-out search

for every area serving food, including the

buffet, which was almost always open and

serving something superior. The main res-

taurant, where we had dinner on a few

occasions, was very good. I was asked if

I thought it was “five-star“ quality, and I

must say, it’s not a fair question. Imagine

asking the best chef in the world to deliver

800 meals within two hours at five-star

quality, all while overseeing his kitchen. Im-

possible. However, I can say that the meals

we did eat there, including our first evening

at the captain’s table, were superb! Not

quite a five, but certainly a 4.5.

And the service? Well, the service scores

need to be adjusted so we can give them

a six! In all areas of the ship (not solely the

dining room), I can’t imagine service being

much better than what we received. And it

wasn’t just us – people we met during the

cruise shared similar sentiments.

The offerings of wine and brew were

stellar, and if you’re thinking you’ll pay

through the nose – well, you’re wrong. At

no point did we feel we were being taken

advantage of; the prices were on par with

or less than nice restaurants you find here

at home.

The most memorable place on the ship

had to be the restaurant Qsine – a chic

tapas-style dining experience. We dined

with a young, newly married couple from

Florida who were delightful. Ordering

from the eclectic menu was a new expe-

rience for all of us; we placed our order

directly with the kitchen, via an iPad. No

doubt this digital menu trend is something

you’ll start noticing more. We all loved

it. Qsine was one of the ship’s specialty

“alternative” dining spots, and therefore

required an additional fee; however, all

four of us agreed that it was well worth it.

For a small amount of money, it may have

been one of the best meals we’d all had

in some time – a true epicurean delight.

LAND AHOYOf course reaching port is always exciting,

and we visited spots like Tracy Arm Fjord,

Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway. Excur-

sions are the norm for most guests, and

while many will likely find them expensive,

it must be said that this expense is again

relative; I mean where and when else are

you going to take a flight on a float plane,

see five huge glaciers from the air, land on

a lake and step out into a beautiful setting,

see bald eagles soaring, bears running and

eating, and incredible ice formations – all

while completely forgetting the world you

left behind? There aren’t enough adjec-

tives to describe it all. We were told by

many people that cruising to Alaska was

a must-do – and now we know why. The

scenery was breathtaking, and I do not use

that word lightly.

All in all, the Celebrity Equinox and its

crew offered us just the right amount of All

Let me give you a succinct, yet accurate description on

cruising for the first time in my life: It is a vacation on

a big floating luxurious Las Vegas-style hotel…and in

this particular case, I mean a grand Las Vegas hotel.

I really didn’t know what to expect. In my business ca-

reer, I’ve had the privilege of traveling to some wonderful

destinations and staying in some of the world’s greatest

hotels, and this first experience “cruising” confirms that I’ll

be coming back for more…soon.

luxury, fun and quiet. The shows were all

excellent, the cabin was small but strangely

comfortable, the gym was well equipped

and there were plenty of choices when it

came to topflight massage and other spa-

related services.

Sailing on this incredible ship to a place

with scenery so vast and beautiful was

truly an experience I’ll never forget. Wait a

minute, did I mention the beauty of British

Columbia and sailing the inside passage,

or our stunning little visit to Victoria? No?

Well, I’m out of room here, so I suggest

booking the cruise and having the time

of your life.•

*Note: Celebrity Equinox is no longer

sailing in Alaska; it has since been replaced

by Celebrity Solstice, one of the more

decorated ships at sea. In addition to

specialty restaurants, spacious staterooms

and superb service, Solstice also offers the

first Lawn Club and Hot Glass Show at

sea; plus, 85 percent of the ship’s cabins

have balconies – a perk when cruising in

scenic Alaska. For more information, visit

Answers by Amy Ruthnick

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

Final Gravity is a taproom and bottle shop featuring craft beer. We like to keep

local breweries on tap as often as possible. The atmosphere is comfortable

and friendly, and the food menu is small but tasty. The draft list always chang-

es, allowing a variety of beers to be available. There’s something for every

style of beer drinker, and we have wine available too. We host weekly brewery

events and tap takeovers as well as occasional food pairings. In addition, our

beer can be purchased to go, making us a truly unique bar. While living in

Portland, Kyle and I would visit local breweries and really started to develop

an appreciation and passion for craft beer. There’s a huge following for good

beer, which would often take us to new places. Seeing the craft beer busi-

ness grow so rapidly in Portland gave us the idea to open a place in California,

closer to where Kyle grew up.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

Meeting my husband, who I’ve been together with for 10 years. The last two years

created many changes for us, such as selling our home, moving, living with family for

a year, buying a new home, Kyle transferring with Union Pacific Railroad, and getting

the idea of Final Gravity started. There are many obstacles small business owners

have to overcome, but we do it together. Since the beginning, Final Gravity has been

a joint effort. Kyle is the beer genius and has created a great beer following for us.

If you could be any other profession, what would it be?

I would have been a veterinarian. We have two dogs (our children) – Turbo is a pit

bull and Baer is a Boston terrier. We love them and encourage customers to bring

their dogs to the patio.

Optimal health is what Resultz Fitness is all about. I started my company with the

idea that if I could teach people a simple, time-tested, convenient, and safe way to

get healthy, then healthy living and fitness could become an attainable reality for so

many who have lost hope. I offer a proven program that has the ability to change

clients’ health for good; it has 3-components and is multi-phased. I utilize a combina-

tion of specifically formulated portion controlled meal replacements, a life-chang-

ing and habit forming curriculum for learning, as well as my services as a profes-

sional health coach to guide clients to success. Whether a client’s goal is to

achieve weight-loss, more energy, better sleep, lower blood pressure, reduce

medications, have more positive surroundings and influences, or simply to

learn about health, I can help. My business most certainly found me; I come

from a marketing and advertising background but have always been physi-

cally active. What I was lacking from my past professional career was the

ability to pay it forward and affect positive change on the individual level. To

inspire someone to first take control of their health, second take control of

their mind, and as a side effect apply the same processes to their professional

careers and take control of their finances – this is the ultimate gift and why my

business found me!

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

My girlfriend and I love Mikuni; I just recently got her to try sushi and now she’s

hooked!

And finally, customer service is…?

About relationships. I believe that in business we must treat everyone as we would a

family member. If you lead a business with ethics and integrity, have follow-through,

and provide a quality product/service, the business will thrive.

I’m a motivational/anti-bullying speaker. At some point in our lives we trade the

vision we have for our life for a paycheck; 20 years later we find ourselves burnt

out and unsatisfied. I’m able to connect to audiences in a way that compels each

attendee to reexamine how they define success. I help audiences understand the

importance of placing value on their dreams. It definitely found me.

What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience?

My first job was at McDonald’s. It taught me responsibility, and I learned I didn’t

want to spend the rest of my life smelling like pickles.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

I realized when I was 40 years old that speaking was my gift and that my gift had

value to the world. I’m most proud of working as a contract speaker in 2008 with

Making it Count.

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

Typically when the going gets tough I go to the park (one of my local favorites

is Maidu) and walk or run. Walking or jogging tends to clear my mind – allowing fresh

ideas to come to me.

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

My favorite local restaurant is The Cheesecake Factory – they have the best shrimp and

grits and jambalaya.

If you could be any other profession, what would it be?

Motivational/inspirational speaking is my true passion and my life’s calling. I believe we

don’t begin to live until we find our purpose in life.

And finally, customer service is?

I’ll do whatever it takes to deliver 100 percent satisfaction.


My business focuses on general home repairs and assisting with client to-do lists

around the house. It doesn’t matter how small the project, we are happy to get it

done. I established my business in 1998; however, I’ve been working in the trade for

more than 27 years.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

We have one of the best guarantees in the business – period.

Who is your role model in business or in life, and why?

Donald Trump – he experienced failure so many times, but allowed it to trans-

form him into being super successful.

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

The golf course – it’s a great way for me to reconnect with quiet, beautiful

surroundings. I can’t think of another game that allows me the opportunity

to be in park-like settings…I love it!

What’s your biggest job perk?

My guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with my performance, I’ll do whatever

I can to make it right; if you’re still not happy, I’ll refund up to $500 of your

money. What could be fairer?

And finally, customer service is…?

My main focus! Without happy customers, my business is non-existent. My goal is

to make sure my customer is happy.

It’s the way she walks, the way

she plays with her hair, and

how she gets you to dance

through the house with

her when her favorite

song comes on. It ’s

how she looks when

she’s ready for battle

and when her guard

is down. It’s those

dumb little emoti-

cons she sends with

her texts and the

focus with which

she paints her toe-

nails. It’s the patience,

tenderness (and some-

times the toughness)

she shows the kids, and

her elation when they’ve

done something good.

It’s all those things and

one more: that sparkle in

that, when in the presence of all those

See, here’s the thing (Tom says, as he

tries to awkwardly extricate himself from

the hole he just noticed himself digging):

Hotness isn’t looking like an extra from a

1987 White Snake video (although, again,

if I’m being honest, it doesn’t hurt). (Shut

up, Tom.)

No, the hotness we guys are drawn

to – and this is the truth – is an aggrega-

tion, a combination, an integration – if

you will – of things like confidence and

how she carries herself. It’s her brains,

her kindness, her passion and compas-

sion. It’s what kind of pizza she likes, the

softness of her skin and how she tried to

pretend she didn’t find Step Brothers hi-

larious. It’s that face she makes when she

Since Valentine’s Day is this

month, I’ve been thinking

about love, and love

isn’t something I think about

much…unless I ’m also

thinking about pizza or

beer. To be honest, like

most guys, I ’m not

good at discussing

what is probably

the single most im-

portant feeling we

can have. My guess

is it’s because guys

don’t like to look

stupid (even though

we manage to do so

pretty much all the

time), and because love

is about the most myste-

rious thing there is. If we’re

being honest, it’s something –

like the popularity of Fifty Shades

of Grey and musicals – that we just

don’t get.

But the mystery isn’t about the emo-

tion itself. Look, I know why I love my wife:

She’s hot. She’s smart, fun, funny, orga-

nized, a great mom, and damn, at the end

of the day (and at the beginning, and all

ticks of the clock in between), she’s hot…

front burner hot. And I’ll bet it’s like that

with most guys and the women they love.

Superficial? Maybe. Shallow? Seemingly.

Honest? Yup.

But wait! Before picketers from the

National Organization of Women (NOW)

show up at my doorstep, let me make

it clear: The initial actual physical hot-

ness factor only goes so far. In fact, it’s

downright fleeting. If a woman isn’t also

all those other things, it ain’t gonna work.

(Unless maybe the guy doesn’t possess

all those other qualities either.)
