DESCRIPTION
Talk about a booming economy, the Roseville, Granite Bay and Rocklin communities are one of California’s fastest growing areas, not only in population and new home growth, but also as one of California’s top retail sales regions. It was clear that a quality local magazine would complement the kind of upscale retail and professional businesses both existing and starting up in the area. Enter Style-Roseville Granite Bay Rocklin…with the same proven format as its sister publication, Style-Folsom El Dorado Hills, Style-Roseville Granite Bay Rocklin offers local original editorial that focuses on things that matter to residents like a calendar of local events, family, health, dining, travel, businesses, home design, arts and entertainment and much more. Using the same distribution and saturation strategies as Style-Folsom El Dorado Hills, Style-Roseville Granite Bay Rocklin is the area’s #1 monthly magazine.

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!

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.

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.

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-

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.

lessons kids can learn from getting their
hands dirty too.
LESSONS LEARNEDPetsy Proett, teacher and school garden
coordinator at Maria Montessori Charter
Academy in Rocklin, says her school’s

eighth grade, gives kids a great sense of

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.” •

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. •

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.

house for a long time, and when I saw

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
48 stylemg.com - February 2013
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. •

IndIan “BurrItos” wIth CurrIed CaulIflowerAida Mollenkamp’s Keys to the
Kitchen by aida Mollenkamp
(Chronicle Books, 2012, $35)
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.

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

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

because the game is about to start.
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
her eye. Because it really isn’t a
sparkle at all, but an actual spark
that, when in the presence of all those
other factors, combusts, and wham-o(!)
hotness ignites.
For us guys, the mystery isn’t why we
love our wives or our girlfriends. That’s
not it at all. The mystery is how the hell
do they manage to love us? And that’s
something we may never know the an-
swer to. But one thing is certain: We’re
grateful you do. •

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.)
