The first time I boarded an airplane was back in the year…well, let’s just say I was in

fourth grade. My family traveled to my uncle’s wedding in Las Vegas. The now every-

day miracle of accelerating down the runway at Nascar speed—then lifting into the

air with body braced and angled—fed my adventurous spirit and possibly even catapulted

it to a new level of need for thrill-seeking. It was both exciting and presidential. Not only

did I get to order a soda (we called it “pop” then), but I also got to enjoy it while pointing,

with mouth agrin, at the toy-sized houses and cars that became smaller and smaller until

disappearing beneath the clouds. I can still recall the feeling of the warm sunlight that shone

through my window and onto my face.

It’s the journey not the destination, right? This was the case for me on that memorable trip

to Sin City, a visit that didn’t involve any sins. Unfortunately, that didn’t last long. Since then

I’ve been to Vegas numerous times, mostly in my college years, but nonetheless, I indulged

my desire to define the unfamiliar. Conquering the unknown has always been second nature

to me; that’s why I love to voyage and experience new environments and cultures. Gas for

my inspiration tank this month is Jeri Murphy’s exploration of a beautiful island country in

“Navigating New Zealand.” Learn why Polynesian explorers originally referred to the country

as “Land of the Long White Cloud,” as well, get a myriad of suggestions for where to eat,

stay and play when you go.

Landlocked you say? Don’t miss Sharon Penny’s “The West’s Best Small Towns” in which

she includes a mix of scenes in California, Washington and Oregon—all involving character,

charm and populations under 10,000. These not-too-far, “hidden hamlets” are secret no

more and offer surprising amenities, such as Oregon’s Hood River named as one of National

Geographic’s “100 Best Adventure Towns,” boasting just about any outdoor activity you

can think of including windsurfing and waterfall touring. Hood River has also been coined

“beer country” for it’s bustling brewing scene. Now that’s what I call fun.

Also this month, in Kourt-

ney Jason’s “Cool Reads for

Hot Days,” find a selection of

great books—separated by

age-appropriate categories—

guaranteed to keep your kids’

minds moving. In between

your travels, find more to see

and do right here around town

within the pages of What’s Up,

FYI, and Calendar.

While international travel

may not be in the cards for

me this year, I do have a few

smaller trips on the horizon

and from this vantage point,

the future has never looked

better. •— Desiree

local government.

Since her successful bid for mayor of

Roseville in 2010, Rohan has been work-

the city’s higher education offerings. She

also volunteers with Ke-

other charitable activities.

Her primary goal is to

show how much good can

Roseville residents have good reason to

celebrate National Park and Recreation

Month, thanks to the area’s amazing ar-

ray of quality parks and fun recreation programs.

With 68 parks and facilities and more than 5,000

acres of open space, there is plenty for residents

to enjoy!

The conveniently located parks, bike trails and

abundant open space helps the growing com-

munity keep that “small-town” feeling. Recently, a family visited all 68 parks in 68 days;

this month, why don’t you try a new park? It would take more than an entire year to enjoy

them all if you planned to visit a different one each weekend!

In August, the town square (located next to the Civic Center on Vernon Street) will

open and feature festivals, events, farmers’ markets, fitness activities, art and much more!

For information about events at the town square, as well as other City-sponsored events,

visit roseville.ca.us/events.

As your family looks for fun activities to take part in this summer, check out the variety

of programs and events offered by Roseville Parks and Recreation.

What are some simple tips for

fitting myself on a road bike?

Having a bike “fit” to you is like

having a pair of shoes fit cor-

rectly; it can be the difference be-

tween lots of pain and discomfort

or a fun, comfortable experience on

your bike. Most shops offer a fitting

with the purchase of a bike, which

should involve actual measurements

of your body parts for accurate, ob-

jective data. If a shop uses the age-old

“stand over the top tube for clear-

ance” method to fit you...run! Run to

your nearest shop that will take the

time to fit you right. You’ll be happier

for it.

Q:

season’s eatingsPlacerGROWN and Foothill Farmers’ Market


WHAT’S IN SEASON NOW: SummEr SquASHIf you think summer squash got its name because it’s only available during the summer

months, you have much to learn. The term “summer squash” actually refers to the very

short storage life these vegetables are known to have when compared to the longevity of

winter squash.

HOW TO PAIr WITH LOCAL WINE:Summer squashes’ sweet, mild flavors bring out

the subtle fruit flavors of lighter foothill Chardon-

nays, which have notes of green apple, peach and

apricot. When served slightly chilled, Placer County

foothill Chardonnays—which can be found at Mt.

Vernon, Rancho Roble, Dono dal Cielo and Fawn-

ridge Wineries—pair well with the versatile veggie.

For more details on Placer County wineries, visit

placerwine.com.

SELECTION AND STOrAGE:It’s best to look for squash that is a bit tender,

yet firm. The best ones have glossy skin without

bruises. If you don’t plan to eat immediately, store it

in a plastic bag in your refrigerator’s crisper drawer.

Don’t wash the squash until it’s ready to be eaten;

it’s best to use within 2-3 days.

DID YOu KNOW?Bigger is not always better when

it comes to the flavor of summer

squash. Most squash are best if

picked when they are two inches

or less in diameter and six to eight

inches long. When it comes to

variety, color and shape, you can’t

beat summer squash. You’ll find

scallop, zucchini, golden zucchini,

summer crookneck and yellow

straight neck squash at Placer

County farmers’ markets, among

others. No matter which squash

you select, the entire vegetable is

edible (including the flesh, seeds

and the skin). Summer squash

varieties are different from their fall

and winter cousins, as it’s usually

harvested before the rind hardens

and the fruit matures.

PrEPArATION:Wash well, trim the ends and don’t worry

about removing the peel or the seeds. It

is excellent when grilled, steamed, boiled

or sautéed, and is also great in a stir-fry.

Onions, tomatoes and even okra serve

as great companions; certain herbs also

go well with summer squash, including

marjoram, cumin seeds, parsley, dill and

rosemary. For farmers’ market locations

that offer the delicious vegetable, visit

foothillfarmersmarket.com.

When Cupcake A La mode’s owner and

executive pastry chef Lisa Clark made

her first foray into the world of the bak-

ing arts, her equipment consisted solely of an Easy

Bake Oven. That attempt may have been less than

a success, but nearly 30 years and three locations

later, it’s safe to say Clark has made her playtime

make-believe into a full-blown career. I popped by

her Roseville cupcakery on a recent afternoon to see

(and taste) for myself how this Midwest-based enter-

prise fared in a competitive West Coast market. After

making my selections, I settled down and gazed at

my little works of art: marshmallow Fondue and the

aptly named Chocolate Obsession. First, the Marsh-

mallow Fondue—a chocolate cupcake sprinkled with

semisweet chocolate, a swirl of marshmallow buttercream, graham cracker crumbs

and topped with a chocolate-covered graham cracker. It is, after all, summertime,

and with no campsite in my foreseeable future, this s’more-like confection was a deli-

cious substitute to my lack of available bonfires. The Chocolate Obsession featured a

chocolate cupcake topped with rich, chocolate buttercream and was covered in dark

chocolate shavings. Ah-mazing. I skipped out with my leftovers, sticky-fingered and

nostalgic for the Easy Bake Oven that dominated the imagination of my own youth,

when any and all dreams were possible. Cupcake A La mode, 1455 Eureka road, Suite 120, roseville. 916-788-1911, cupcakealamode.com.

artbeatJuly 12 – Campfire Crooners at the

Owl Club. See and hear the Crooners

in action and enjoy a “typical rocking

in Roseville at 109 Church Street.

The show starts at 9 p.m. For details

and more upcoming shows, visit

campfirecrooners.com.

In Stephenie Meyer’s book New Moon,

she writes: “Sometimes, kismet hap-

pens.” And that is just what happened

when Carl Salmonsen and Tim Onorato

met for the first time. Strangers at the

time, these two accomplished musicians

were attending the same camping trip

about six years ago. Onorato arrived at the

communal campfire with a mandolin and

Salmonsen brought his guitar. They both

just started playing and the result was im-

pressive. Three years later, fate intervened

again when another chance encounter

brought keyboard player Mark Siefert on

board and they became a trio. More band

members joined along the way. “We have

a dozen plus people that come to just jam

with us sometimes,” Salmonsen says.

The award-winning Campfire Croon-

er’s tag line says it all: “Have fun. If we are

not having fun, we are doing something

wrong.” And fun is what this group and

any listeners within earshot have. Their

love for performing live really comes out

while they’re on stage. “We are a live band,”

Salmonsen explains. “Our online and studio

stuff doesn’t do us justice.” Their musical

repertoire includes covering country favor-

ites from artists like Johnny Cash and Hank

Williams, to rock and roll classics from Elton

John and the Rolling Stones and everything

in between.

Bandleader Salmonsen also writes orig-

inal songs that express the joys and pains

of everyday life. When he is finished with a

song, he gives it to the other band mem-

bers. “We then add our own flavor to it and

it becomes a ‘Crooner’ tune.” Siefert adds,

“We Croonerize it!” The group is named to

honor their first gig—around a campfire—

and what they feel is their singing style.

Life changes made the band possible.

Both Salmonsen and Siefert are now self-

employed and have time to dedicate to

their music. “It all came together,” Salmon-

sen says. “Everything aligned as our careers

changed and time loosened up.” Whether

it’s the trio or the entire band playing, the

group seems to have a psychic connection.

“We have great band ESP,” Siefert admits.

“We play what feels right and keeps the

audience engaged.”

The Auburn-based trio plays at local

farmers’ markets while the entire band per-

forms at larger venues. The acoustic nature

of the farmers’ markets is really appealing

to the musicians. “Music is a payback in

both ways,” Salmonsen says. “The audi-

ence gets to hear our music…and we get

to have fun.”

Siefert describes the group as his sec-

ond family. “Music is my meditation, my

prayer and my solace,” he shares. Salmon-

sen feels similarly. “I used to be tickled pink

to just play alone and let the stress of the

world drop way,” he explains, “[and] now I

get to play my own music with a bunch of

really talented guys.”

He hopes the music he writes and plays

will be remembered for a long time. “It is my

child, my legacy” Salmonsen says. “When

I’m gone, it is what I will leave behind.” •

You wash your produce, clean your floors

and try to keep a tidy house. But are you

doing enough to have a healthy home?

These days, it seems there are lots of question-

able chemicals in many popular products used

around the house. So, what’s safe and what should

you avoid? Read on for these answers, and more.

HEALTHY HOMES INITIATIVEThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

has a “healthy homes initiative” to keep Ameri-

cans safe indoors. “Most people spend over 90

percent of their time indoors, making the indoor

environment a key foundation for our health,” says

Jean Prijatel, U.S. EPA Pacific Southwest Region

program & enforcement officer (Toxics Office).

The EPA’s advice? Keep dirt outdoors, remove

your shoes once you’re inside, and make sure your

hands are clean. “Wash your hands of it,” says Prijatel,

“is the simplest way for parents to engage their kids

in their healthy home efforts. Keeping a house free of

contaminants is a manageable daily task for all members of

the household.” The EPA’s healthy homes initiative focuses on

indoor air quality, like mold, tobacco smoke, radon, carbon monox-

ide and ventilation, as well as exposure to toxins, such as lead, asbestos,

mercury, household products and pesticides.

AROUND THE HOUSELook around your home. Most likely every cabinet has chemicals or cleansers,

which isn’t always a good thing. “Cleaning chemicals are most frequently used

by everyone in the home,” says Dan Hannan, CSP and author of Preventing Home

Accidents: A Quick and Easy Guide. “The big takeaway is reading labels and seeing

how products are intended for use.” For example, a specific product may require

ventilation, use of gloves or boots, or may caution against its overuse.

Hannan, who stresses the importance of keeping chemicals out of reach of

children, also advises homeowners to inventory the chemicals in their

home. “Homeowners tend to accumulate chemicals rather than dispose

of them,” he says, noting you can safely dispose of chemicals such as

paints and aerosols at household hazardous waste events in your

community. “Be responsible and dispose of things properly,” he

advises. “You don’t want to damage the environment.”

IN THE BATHBefore you grab your bath soap and hit the shower, what’s

really in your shampoo and cleanser? In recent years, sci-

entific and media reports have shown toxic ingredients

such as formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane in many brand-

name health and beauty products. Some of these chemi-

cals may cause health problems to your liver, kidneys,

respiratory system and central nervous system.

Luckily, many healthy alternatives are hitting the

market. “Our skin absorbs up to 70 percent of what

you put on it, and a child’s skin is even more absorbent,”

says Tara Verkuil, president and founder of Eco Princess, a

greenhouse

Walgreens, the

country’s largest

drugstore chain, re-

cently launched their

Ology brand of baby

products, as well as

household cleaners

that are free of harmful

formulations. “Ology reflects

our dedication to innovation, our constant drive

president of Daily Living Products and Solu-

tions for Walgreens. The Ology product line

includes adult shampoo and conditioner, baby

lotion, two-in-one body wash, liquid laundry

detergent, glass and all-purpose cleaners.

10WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

Trying to go green? Lessening your carbon footprint is a lot easier than

you might think. By taking the small steps below you can make a big

environmental difference!

1. Track your carbon footprint. How many green habits do you have?

Which areas need improvement? Use this EPA calculator to find out: epa.

gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/ind-calculator.html and get your kids

involved too. They can track their imprint online as well:

cooltheworld.com/kidscarboncalculator.php.

2. Recycle electronics, batteries and paint. If you’re finished

with these household products, keep the toxins out of the trash. Check

with local environmental groups and city-sponsored e-waste recycling

opportunities.

3. Choose products with minimal packaging. Who needs oversized

packages? Excess cardboard, paper and plastic wrap just means you

have more product waste to recycle or throw out.

4. Unplug! Even if you’re not actively using a device like a phone charger

or a toaster, it could be sucking up energy in your home or office. The

solution? Turn off appliances and unplug equipment that aren’t in use.

5. Go for reusable products. Don’t buy single-use items like juice

boxes or bottled water if you can rely on a reusable cup to do the same

thing. Forget plastic bags, too. Instead, chose reusable bags to carry

items from the store.

6. Install energy-saving light bulbs. Choose the Environmental

Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star label when buying light bulbs

and other energy products. According to the EPA, over time, Energy

Star products “can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 130,000

pounds and save you $11,000 on energy bills.”

7. Reduce your reliance on cars. Walk to school or ride your bike

whenever possible. If you need a car once in a while, consider signing

up with a car-sharing company like Zipcar (zipcar.com). Sign up to use

a car only when you need one. After all, each Zipcar replaces more than

20 personally owned vehicles that would normally be on the road.

8. Be water wise. Make sure your water use is sensible. For example,

only run your dishwasher when the machine’s full. The EPA says it’ll save

you 100 pounds of carbon dioxide and $40 a year. Also, water your lawn

early in the day when it’s coolest outside.

9. Eliminate junk mail. Signing up for electronic bill paying will help

reduce traditional mail, and according to payitgreen.org, in one year of

electronic bill paying, the average American household would save six

pounds of paper, 23 pounds of wood, and prevent the production of 29

pounds of greenhouse gases.

10. Get a clothesline! According to the U.S. Energy Information

Administration, clothes dryers make up four percent of the average

American household’s energy use.

health&wellnesslargely interested in creating a clean and

beautiful home that expresses their style

as well as their values.”

Coyuchi products, which include

bed sheets, rugs, robes and more, are

free of toxic dyes, bleaches and finishes.

They’re also produced using fair–labor

practices and natural fibers. Their cot-

ton is 100-percent certified organic. “At

Coyuchi, we look at it as the home is

the one place where we have full con-

trol of our environment,” Levinthal says.

“It’s the one place in the world where

we get to transform it into our vision of

ourselves and of the world. If your vision

of the world is a clean, non-toxic and

natural place of beauty, then the deci-

sion to choose organic products is easy.”

QUESTIONABLE CHEMICALSInfants and children are at high risk for

toxicity from dangerous chemicals around

the home and elsewhere. “A small expo-

sure translates into a big dose,” says Mike

Schade, PVC campaign coordinator for

the Center for Health, Environment & Jus-

tice (CHEJ). “Children put things in their

mouths and spend a lot of time on the floor

and ground, so they may ingest chemicals

from toys, containers, dirt and dust on a

regular basis.”

For example, he notes, “scientific evi-

dence has found that phthalates—chemi-

cals added to PVC/vinyl plastic—are

associated with hormone disruption, birth

defects, asthma and other serious health

problems; many of these same health

problems that are on the rise.” While

phthalates have been banned in children’s

toys in the U.S. since 2008, they’re often

found in other household products, such

as “flooring in our home, lunchboxes, back-

packs, binders and other children’s school

supplies,” Schade says. Read product la-

bels and avoid these chemicals whenever

possible.

PESKY PESTCIDESWhether you’re killing weeds in your

yard or fending off pests in your garden,

pesticides can be dangerous. “Nearly

everything contains pesticides to some

degree, but the most dangerous and

common chemicals/pesticides present

in and around the home are found in

foods and plastics,” says Dr. Robert Me-

lillo, creator and co-founder of the Brain

Balance Program® and the Brain Balance

Achievement Centers.

He notes that some foods have high

levels of pesticides including, “foods that

have come to be known as the ‘Dirty

Dozen’—apples, cherries, grapes, nectar-

ines, peaches, pears, raspberries, straw-

berries, bell peppers, celery, potatoes and

spinach.” Dr. Melillo says some soft plas-

tics like those in water bottles and cof-

fee covers “carry estrogen disrupters and

can be toxic.” Bisphenol A, also known as

BPA, is another concern. Found in soda

cans, canned foods, baby bottles, water

bottles and frozen dinners, the chemi-

cal “has estrogenic activity and can alter

sexual development and neurobehavioral

processes, and is associated with an early

onset of puberty,” says Dr. Melillo, noting

BPA may also cause diabetes and obesity.

HEALTHY ADVICESure, it’s overwhelming these days to fig-

ure out what one should avoid for optimal

health, but these tips can lead the way.

1. Start simple. “Buying new school sup-

plies? Remodeling your kitchen flooring?

Think about new products or materials

that you’re buying, and be an informed

consumer,” Schade says.

2. Buy organic. Dr. Melillo advises this and

says, “It may be a bit more expensive, but

it is well worth the cost in order to avoid

these toxic compounds.”

3. Thoroughly wash all produce. Whether conventional or organic, use

water or a commercial produce washing

product to clean your produce,” Dr. Melillo

says and continues, “…remember pesti-

cides, herbicides and fungicides can be

washed off the surface of the produce;

however, they also get into the soil and

grow into the produce itself.”

4. Avoid using plastics. Dr. Melillo advises

to do this as much as possible, especially

soft plastic. “It is much safer to stick to

using glass and ceramics for eating, drink-

ing and microwaving purposes whenever

possible,” he says.

5. Avoid school supplies made with vinyl. “First look for the universal recycling

symbol. If it has the number ‘3’ inside it, or

the letters ‘V’ or ‘PVC’ underneath it, you

know the product is made out of PVC,”

Schade says.

6. Ask questions. “Some products are not

properly labeled, making it impossible to

determine whether they contain vinyl. If

you’re uncertain, email or call the 1-800

number of the manufacturer or retailer

and ask what type of plastic their product

is made of,” Schade says. “You have the

right to know.” •

unlimited confidential mental health ser-

vices to those who have served, are serving,

or expect to serve in the Iraq and

Afghanistan conflicts, and their

loved ones, free of charge. Nearly

50 local clinicians donate their

time and expertise through TSP

Sacramento in an effort to heal

those afflicted with the invisible

wounds of war: PTSD and trau-

matic brain injury (TBI). In addi-

tion to one-on-one therapy and

group counseling services, the

organization also works to raise

awareness about sexual assault

among American troops and

shed light on the ways military

children are impacted by their

parents’ service.

“Volunteerism is the back-

bone of TSP. There is not one

day, one event, one presentation

that we are not thanked, both

collectively and individually,

for what we do,” explains TSP

Sacramento Program Manager

Becca Bettis. “This work is ex-

tremely gratifying. One does not have to

support war, but one can certainly support

our troops, our soldiers.”

According to TSP Sacramento’s Media/

Communications Specialist Becci Angell,

seeking treatment through the organiza-

tion is “the best step you can take in easing

the symptoms of PTSD and TBI. Your thera-

pist is specially trained in military culture

and understands how your military service

has affected you. [They] will give you the

tools you need to deal with your symptoms

and reintegrate into [civilian] life.”

Since finding TSP Sacramento three

years ago, Ellena continues to flourish—

he’s happily remarried and will graduate

from a nursing program in December. “I

wouldn’t have been able to handle the

stress of making it to the campus for the

prerequisite courses, much less the stress

of the nursing program, without the sup-

port of my TSP therapist and my wife. Now

I’m the president of the Student Nurses

Association at our school,” he says. “The

Soldier’s Project has affected every aspect

of my life. They’ve helped me to help myself

in pursuing a successful life. •

During a 2007 tour in Iraq, Petty Officer Third Class Dirk Ellena, a Navy Corpsman

for the Marine Infantry, broke his leg while on a night patrol. Complications from

the injury lasted years, but Ellena’s battle scars turned out to be more than skin

deep. “I thought nightmares were normal. I thought the amount of aggression that I had

bottled up inside was normal. I thought locking myself inside the house all day was normal.

I thought a lot of things were normal,” he says of life after active duty.

Ellena, who left the military in 2010, was in the midst of a custody battle and suffering

from untreated post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when a therapist referred him to The

Soldier’s Project (TSP) Sacramento for treatment.

“At first I didn’t think I needed help, I was just going to look good on paper so that I could

tell my supervisor that I was ‘getting better’ to get more time with my kid,” Ellena shares. “I

planned on just going through the motions, but once I started unloading some of that s--- I

realized that I was a lot more f----- up than I thought.”

Do you think you’re a good judge of “how things really are” in

your relationship? Odds are you’re not nearly as accurate as

you think. Psychologists asked couples all over the world to

rate various aspects of their relationship and found consistent biases—

so much so that they concluded these distortions, or “cognitive blind

spots,” are pretty much par for the course in relationships.

So what’s a couple to do? Being informed and prepared can help.

(Just being smart is no protection against distortion.) Below are two

common blind spots most of us have in our relationships and how to

navigate in spite of them.

1. RESPONSIBILITY BIAS

“What percentage of the ‘work’ of a relationship falls onto you?”

When psychologists asked each partner this question, they received

answers that added up to more than 100 percent in three out of four

couples. Obviously that’s not possible, so what’s going on here?

First, we all see our own efforts, but only witness some of our part-

ner’s. Second, we tend to remember our own efforts, and forget those

of our partner—even if we were originally aware of them. When asked

to list each partner’s specific contributions, on average, people were

able to come up with 11 of their own contributions, but only eight of

their partner’s. Note: It’s not just intimate partners who experience this

bias—in Hollywood, about a third of all screenplays end up in arbitration

to settle who contributed what percentage.

TIPS FOR OVERCOMING THIS BLIND SPOT:

• Consciously note your partner’s contributions.

• Make a gratitude list (monthly, at least) and read it to your

partner.

2. ATTRIBUTION BIAS

“Who gets the blame and who gets the credit?”

When psychologists asked each person in a relationship this

question, they observed a trend. If the outcome was positive,

each person took primary credit. For negative outcomes,

however, they exonerated themselves and blamed their part-

ner. While all couples show this bias, those in more distress were

particularly vulnerable to this distortion.

Interestingly, partners with higher ratings of self-esteem were

even more likely to fall into this blind spot—perhaps being more

likely to protect their self-image. On the other hand, it appears

that age mellows us; older partners are somewhat less likely to

show this self-serving bias.

TIPS FOR OVERCOMING THIS BLIND SPOT:

• Consciously consider the evidence and facts.

• Realize “mistakes” are inevitable and get comfortable saying “I’m sorry.”

• If you know deep down you tend to automatically and consistently blame

others, get yourself to a therapist to change this toxic pattern. •

When furniture no longer

needed for its original use is

given a second life—by serv-

ing an entirely new function and adding an

element of the unexpected to a room—ex-

perts call it “repurposing” furniture.

“DRESSERED” TO IMPRESSA dresser is one of the best examples of re-

purposing furniture, because it’s one of the

most universal. Placed in an entryway with

a tray on top, it’s a perfect spot to gather

keys and mail, while drawers can capture

hats, gloves, scarves and mittens. Other

repurposed ideas include a dresser or buf-

fet in a workroom to store art supplies, and

in a kitchen for pots and pans.

BREAK THE RULESFor those who play by the book, don’t be

afraid of breaking an unspoken design rule.

Just because it’s called a “dining room

hutch” doesn’t mean it needs to reside in

a dining room. In fact, it may be an even

more interesting piece when placed in the

den and filled with books.

CHANGING FACESIt takes imagination and some simple fixes

to change the function of a piece of furni-

ture. Adding a granite or butcher-block top

can make a dresser just right in the kitchen,

while changing knobs and hinges can give

furniture a whole new look. Looking for

a bigger challenge? Transform furniture

completely by staining the wood a different

color or sanding and painting it.

ARMOIRE NO MOREPerhaps the latest furniture piece being

given a second life is the television armoire.

Flat-screen and plasma TVs are turning

these armoires into relics, but they don’t

have to be. Selling older furniture isn’t going

to result in a lot of money, so get creative.

With some adjustments—removing the

doors, replacing wood shelves with glass,

and adding a mirror as a backdrop—an old

armoire can become a wine cabinet; or, re-

purpose it into a home office, with storage

for a computer and drawer space for paper

and a printer.

purposeGiving Old Furniture New Life

by Kerrie Kelly

ADDED SOFTNESSWhen looking to repurpose or update

upholstered furniture, the right fabric can

enhance your design in a way no other

component can come close to aestheti-

cally. Find a signature fabric you love—one

with enough design elements so that you

can pull out colors, coordinate textures,

and have multiple options for furnish-

ings and accessories. Sometimes your

repurposing exercise may be as easy as

unscrewing a dining seat from its frame,

pulling over a new fabric, staple-gunning

it on to recover the seat, and screwing it

back on. Voilà! You have a new desk chair,

fully repurposed and fresh looking.

SUMMMED UPThe furniture you choose has to last—not

only in utility, but in beauty, too. A prod-

uct has to have a reason to be passed

along and repurposed, instead of thrown

away. Furniture that’s created from real

wood, incorporates timeless design, and

has simple inner beauty will be passed

along to friends and relatives, or sold at

a garage sale. Whatever the case, the life

cycle is greatly extended by these simple

principles. So while new pieces are always

great, consider repurposing older ones.

They tell a story and have history, creating

an authentically interesting space. •

THE LANDPLENTY

NAVIGATING NEW ZEALANDwritten by jeri murphy // imAGeS by rjm

OF

FRANZ JOSEF GLACIER


Traveller, your dreams are waiting.

This sign greeted us at the Auckland

Airport after a 13-hour overnight flight

from San Francisco. After months of

planning and anticipation, our dreams of

spending a month in New Zealand were

about to come true.

\\ GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORYNew Zealand is a land of volcanoes, earthquakes, geysers

and fjords (long, narrow inlets with steep sides or cliffs, cre-

ated in valleys carved by glacial activity). We experienced

each of these as we traveled from the Bay of Islands, at the

top of the culturally rich North Island, to Fiordland and the

scenic beauty of the South Island.

Polynesian explorers first discovered the islands. Leg-

end says when they saw the Southern Alps, topped with an

unfamiliar white substance (snow), they called the country

Aotearoa, or “Land of the Long White Cloud.” Hundreds of

years later, in 1642, the islands were formally “discovered”

by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, who named the land Nieuw

Zeeland, after the Netherlands province of Zeeland. This

small country, similar in size to Great Britain or Japan, is now

known as New Zealand.

\\ IN A NUTSHELLWe were a small group of 11, ranging in age from early 50s

to late 70s. With the exception of our group leader, who had

been to New Zealand many times, this was a first-time visit

for each of us.

Traveling in a 12-seater van, we began our adventure in

the Bay of Islands—at the northernmost part of the North

Island—where we spent three days becoming familiar with

Kiwi hospitality, Maori culture, and driving on the “wrong

side” of the road! We then traveled south to Auckland, where

we enjoyed the Auckland Museum and Sky Tower (the tallest

free-standing structure in the Southern Hemisphere).

Next, we visited Rotorua, voted the “most beautiful city

in New Zealand.” Built on the edge of a volcanic crater, Ro-

torua is known for its thermal activity and Maori culture. A

stop at Napier followed, famous for its art deco architecture,

as well as the nearby wineries of Hawke’s Bay.

Our final North Island stay was in the capital city of Wel-

lington, often compared to San Francisco for its cosmo-

politan lifestyle, ethnic diversity, busy waterfront and cool,

windy weather.

Crossing Cook Strait by Interislander Ferry, we spent

the next 15 days on New Zealand’s South

Island. Here we were amazed by the beauty

of the glaciers, rainforests and waterways

of Fiordland, shopped for jade in Hokitika,

explored our thrill-seeking side in Queen-

stown, and witnessed the optimistic atti-

tude of post-earthquake Christchurch.

\\ REST YOUR EYESWe stayed in a variety of hotels, ranging

from modern high-rises (Ibis Wellington

Hotel) to family-run (Jade Court Motor

Lodge in Hokitika) and “cabins” (Bay Snap-

per Holiday Park in Napier). Breakfast,

whether continental or full buffet, was usually

included and Wi-Fi was generally available

for a fee. Since most of our hotel rooms had

kitchenettes, we periodically shopped at lo-

cal grocery stores and prepared our evening

meal—while enjoying a glass or two of wine—

in-house.

\\ EATIt has been said that there are 15 sheep for

every one person in New Zealand, and while

this is no longer true—as of 2008 the ratio

was eight sheep per person—lamb is a com-

mon menu item. Roast lamb was offered dur-

ing the traditional hangi (the Maori method

of cooking food using heated rocks buried

in a pit oven) feast at Tamaki Maori Village,

and lamb salad got rave reviews in Rotorua

and Christchurch. We even found barbecued

lamb burgers at McDonalds in Auckland!

There is a strong British influence in New

Zealand, so fish and chips, mussels, and

bangers and mash were common menu

items. Another local favorite was “mince pie,”

a puff pastry filled with minced beef, lamb or

steak and cooked in savory gravy. This “take-

away” treat made a tasty lunch, especially

when enjoyed with a glass of New Zealand

beer (Tui or Speights).

\\ EXPLOREFor museum lovers, the Auckland War Me-

morial Museum was a favorite. We needed a

full day to enjoy the many displays depicting

New Zealand’s geology, history, culture and

peacekeeping philosophy. We also enjoyed

the Rotorua Museum of Art and History,

Wellington’s Te Papa Museum, and the Can-

terbury Museum in Christchurch.

Learning about and experiencing the

Maori culture was an ongoing part of our jour-

ney, especially in the North Island. Early in the

trip we toured the Waitangi Treaty Grounds,

where our Maori guide gave his people’s

perspective of this important transaction

between the natives and the British. Here

we witnessed the traditional Maori greet-

ing: a fierce look with tongue fully extended,

eyes opened wide, and elaborate posturing

to demonstrate ferocious warrior abilities.

We marveled at the intricate carvings on

meetinghouses and war canoes, learned that

diamonds are the only stone harder than

jade, and discovered that Maori “tattoos” are

actually facial carvings.

We also visited the Tamari Maori Vil-

lage near Rotorua, where we played games

designed to teach warrior skills, were enter-

tained by Maori song and dance, and enjoyed

a traditional hangi buffet feast—a favorite

experience from the trip.

On the South Island, the group’s hikers

made a half-day trek on the Abel Tasman

Coast Track, a fairly easy two-and-a-half-mile

walk ending with a refreshing swim in the Tas-

man Sea.

At Franz Josef we walked for more than a

mile along an open riverbed to get a close-up

view of the glacier. (For safety reasons we

were unable to actually touch the glacial ice.)

However, one group member took a helicop-

ter ride over the Southern Alps and glaciers,

enjoying a spectacular view!

We drove through

the mountains and

rainforests of Fiordland

National Park, arriv-

ing at one of the most

beautiful places in

New Zealand: Milford

Sound. Boarding our

Real Journeys vessel,

we cruised through the

stunning glacier-formed

canyons to the Tasman

Sea. Along the way we

passed waterfalls, sheer

cliffs and Mitre Peak,

believed to be one of the

world’s highest moun-

tains to rise directly out

of the sea. This two-hour

cruise, which included

lunch and informative

commentary, was a trip

highlight.

During our stay in

Dunedin we enjoyed

a half-day guided tour

around the Otago Har-

bor, where we viewed

nesting royal albatross,

visited a sanctuary for

yellow-eyed penguins,

and were entertained by

a pod of Hector’s dol-

phins jumping near the

boat as we cruised the

harbor.

Throughout our

trip we had many op-

portunities to express

our inner thrill-seeker.

Various group members

walked across

Buller Gorge

swing bridge,

returning via

zip line; sped

through the narrow canyons of the Shotover

River in a jet boat; rode a gondola to Bob’s

Peak, overlooking Queenstown, before racing

down the mountain in a luge; rolled down a

hill strapped inside a plastic

Zorb; and visited the birth-

place of bungee jumping

near Queenstown. (No one in

our group was brave enough

to try bungy jumping, but we

watched other—younger and

more adventurous—people

do it, which was pretty thrill-

ing!)

For some members of

our group, shopping was

a favorite pastime. Many

sheep means lots of wool,

and woolen shirts, scarves

and socks were well priced

at the Kiwi Sock Factory in

Norsewood, in the southern

part of the North Island. The

gift shop at Te Puia in Ro-

torua offered woodcarvings,

woven flax handbags, and

many other traditional Maori

pieces; some of the proceeds

support the adjacent schools

where Maori youth learn their

ancestral arts. Hokitika, on

the South Island, is “the Jade

Capital of New Zealand.”

Some of the most beautiful

pieces were found in a shop

called Te Waipounamu, which

only sells local jade. (Other

shops sell imported jade for

a lesser price.) And we were

glad to spend some of our

tourist dollars in Christchurch,

supporting a local economy

struggling to rebuild after

the earthquake of 2011. Since

Christchurch was our last

stop before returning home, this was a great

place to pick up last-minute gifts.

Throughout our trip we found the people

to be friendly, helpful and eager to ensure

that we enjoyed our time in New Zealand. Our

visit was a dream come true, and inspired our

desire to return. As one traveler said, “New

Zealand cannot be captured by pictures...

it cannot be captured by words. You have to

experience it.” •

A TIP AbOuT TIPPING. In a word,

don’t. It is not expected and, in fact, tourists

are discouraged from tipping at hotels and

restaurants. The exception? If a tour guide

provides excellent service, tipping is ap-

propriate.

DON’T GET burNED. Because

of a hole in the ozone layer over New Zea-

land’s southern neighbor, Antarctica, sun

protection (hats and sunscreen) is strongly

recommended.

MAkE A WIsH! You will see stars like

never before. The Southern Hemisphere is

tilted toward the center of our galaxy, so you’ll

be looking into the heart of the Milky Way.

OucH! Sandflies, found in the rainfor-

est in Fiordland, are nasty pests. While they

do not carry diseases, their bites will make

you itch. A lot. Buy insect repellant and use

it liberally.

GArDEN DELIGHT. From dahlias,

begonias and roses to cabbage trees, kauri

and flax, we found a wonderful botanical

garden in nearly every city! Best of all, they’re

free to visit and a great respite.

GOT WINE? A half-day wine tour of

Hawke’s Bay, known for Pinot Noir and Sau-

vignon Blanc, is a relaxing way to explore

the area.

DON’T OVErsPEND. We were

advised not to shop in high-priced Auckland

and Wellington.

HuNGrY FOr HOME? We found

at least one McDonald’s, Starbucks and Sub-

way in every city we visited.

Yountville is the foodie destination of wine country: French Laundry, Bouchon, Bistro Jeanty, Redd Wood, and Bottega all sit shoulder-to-shoulder in this pictur-

esque town. Oh, and there’s all that delicious wine too.

Breathtaking coastlines, jaw-dropping mountains and cities like San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. On paper, these define the West Coast. But it’s the hidden gems dot-ting the coastlines and tucked in the valleys that really capture the spirit and charm of the West Coast. We picked 10 of our favorite West Coast “wallflowers,” small towns with populations under 10,000 that are just waiting for someone to ask them to dance. Some are well known, others less so, but all are guaranteed to open your eyes to the riches within California, Oregon and Washington, and show you why the West Coast is the best coast.

Seventy-five miles up Highway 101 from Coos Bay, not far from rugged Cape Perpetua, is the tiny little coastal town of Yachats. Hugged by the breathtaking Or-egon coast and a stone’s throw from not one but three state parks, it’s little sur-prise that Yachats regularly makes top 10 lists of “favorite small towns.” Whether tide pooling, whale watching, hiking or just relaxing to the sounds of the ocean, the living is easy in Yachats.

What do you do with a struggling, once-proud rail and timber town nestled in the Cascades? Do what

the locals did with Leaven-worth in 1964: Take a leaf out of Solvang’s playbook and transform the town into a mock Bavarian village. Instant Alps! Located two

hours east of Seattle, Leavenworth is, after almost 50 years, still an oasis of Bavarian-themed fun…unless you hate fun. But how could you when they have a Nutcracker Museum?

Less than an hour from Santa Barbara, Ojai is an artist colony doing double duty as a peaceful town. It’s also a hippie mec-ca. Many come to witness the rare phe-nomenon known as the “pink moment,” when the sunset turns the surrounding Topa Topa Mountains a brilliant shade of pink; tourists come in search of it and locals move here because of it. Ojai has a magnetic pull that defies cynicism.

Astoria is the grand dame of the Oregon Coast. With a rich 200-year history, the town

is the oldest American settle-ment west of the Rockies. Once a thriving industrial port, Astoria now thrives on tourism by embracing its rich maritime history, in a region so ship-wreck prone that it was known

as the “Graveyard of the Pacific” for a century. From the port and the river to the surrounding forest, Astoria’s charms are hard to resist.

An archipelago of 172 individual islands in the Puget Sound 80 miles north of Seattle, the San Juan Is-lands were voted the third best travel destination in the world by National Geographic. They recently received of-ficial status when in March President Obama signed a proclamation creating the 955-acre San Juan National Monu-ment. A mecca for whale watchers and kayaking, the San Juan Islands are an idyllic escape from mainland life. But we’re done giving you reasons. Just hop on a ferry!

Family time…you can’t replace it! They say families who play together, STAY together! And nothing gives families the opportunity to play together more than motorsports products from Yamaha and Kawasaki!

Since April of 2003, Roseville Yamaha Kawasaki has been selling “family time.” The dealership is now celebrating its 10th year in business and sales have propelled the dealership to #2 in California (out of some 64 dealerships) and #6 in the country (out of some 1,600 dealerships) for Yamaha nationwide.

Of course, a lot has to do with the many “fun-hungry” residents of Placer County who have grown to love the dealership and have rewarded it with repeat sales over the years. But it is also Roseville Yamaha Kawasaki’s commitment to Customer Service that has made this dealership a huge success. Roseville Yamaha Kawasaki boasts some of the highest Customer Satisfaction Index rankings in the country and has received numerous such awards during its 10-year history.

Roseville Yamaha Kawasaki2014 Taylor Rd. | Roseville916-784-2444 main916-784-2440 faxwww.roseville-yamaha.com

Owners Sean and Audrey Coplen have always tried to replicate the shopping experiences of the most successful “customer-focused” retail businesses. When asked what sets them apart, Sean said “We offer Nordstrom customer service at a WalMart price. Today’s consumers are more experienced than ever and these families expect the very highest standards in Customer Service and flexibility. An example is our “no questions asked” return policy and “price match” guarantee. We know that our customers have many choices when shopping, so we remove any concerns by staying flexible with our returns and pricing to match customer needs.”

The strategy is apparently working because as many retail businesses have struggled over the past several years, Roseville Yamaha Kawasaki has begun to grow rapidly again having added two new brands (Kawasaki and Ural Motorcycles) in December of last year. Sales are currently up 15% over last year.

The Sanskrit term namaste roughly

translates to: “I bow to the divine

in you,” an acknowledgment of the

soul in one by the soul in another. While

familiar with the phrase in yoga, a recent

visit to Namaste Nepal reminded me that

the saying is not intrinsically linked to ex-

ercises of devotion taking place on a mat.

Don’t be fooled by the restaurant’s

sparse strip-mall exterior—upon entering

one is greeted with rich and elegant décor.

In celebration of my grandmother’s 92nd

birthday, my party consisted of a whop-

ping four generations of family.

We were seated at a booth and

promptly delivered some papadam and

a trio of chutneys: mint, tamarind and

mango. As we noshed away, our Walnut

Kebab appetizer arrived—tender rolls

of minced chicken, walnuts and spices

roasted in a charcoaled oven—as well as

garlic cilantro naan, which was airy and

dense at the same time. Both received ex-

clamations of praise.

Namaste Nepal combines both Nepal-

ese and South Asian cuisines into their ex-

tensive menu, and the spice-level for most

items can be customized to taste. Our main

dishes consisted of veggie chow mein (a

bit like the Chinese version, but with an In-

dian flair); the Chef Special Chicken—bone-

less chicken cooked in coconut-based

curry sauce; Lamb Kebab—boneless lamb

marinated in yogurt and spices; and Kebab

E Ocean—a combination of red snapper,

jumbo shrimp and salmon marinated with

special spices. More naan and basmati rice

accompanied the plates.

It was a bountiful spread, gorgeous in

colors, textures and flavors. To be honest,

we ordered a bit too much, but at the end

all was devoured. My grandmother, ever

the sweet tooth, even sucked up the last

of her mango lassi with a satisfied aplomb.

To our delight, the meal was not quite

finished. Our delightful server, knowing

we were celebrating Grandma’s birthday,

presented the table with some amazing

saffron, pistachio and cardamom-flavored

kulfi (Indian ice cream) and carrot halwa.

With hospitality as impeccable as our

server’s crisp white shirt and food that

dances on one’s palate better than any Bol-

lywood movie, Namaste Nepal has entered

that rare archive of memorable meals. •

Pistachio-crusted Goat cheese with French Beans, radicchio, endive, red GraPes and sherry vinaiGretteFrom The New Wine Country Cook-

book: Recipes from California’s Central

Coast by Brigit Binns

(Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2013, $35)

• 1/4 cup shelled pistachios

• 1/3 cup panko (Japanese bread

crumbs) or fine dry bread crumbs

• 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

• 3 (3 1/2-oz.) rounds fresh goat cheese,

very cold, sliced crosswise through

the center to create 6 disks about 1-1/4

inches thick

sherry vinaigrette

• 2 tbsp. sherry vinegar

• 1 shallot, minced

• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard

• 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt

• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

• 6 tbsp. pistachio oil or fruity extra-

virgin olive oil

• 6 oz. fine French green beans,

trimmed

• 1 medium head radicchio, quartered,

cored and slivered

• 2 medium heads Belgian endive,

quartered lengthwise, cores trimmed

away and slivered lengthwise

• 2 cups red grapes, halved

In a food processor, pulse the pistachios

into a powder (don’t overdo it, or you’ll

end up with nut butter). In a small,

shallow bowl, mix together the ground

pistachios and panko. Place the ol-

ive oil in another small, shallow bowl.

Gently turn each disk of goat cheese

in the olive oil to coat all sides, then

dredge through the crumb mixture,

patting the crust gently to help it

adhere. Place on a baking sheet

and repeat with the remaining

disks. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

To make the vinaigrette,

in a large bowl, combine all of

the ingredients and whisk until

smooth. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 425 de-

grees. In a small saucepan of rap-

idly boiling, lightly salted water, Recip

blanch the green beans for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on their size. Drain immediately

and refresh under cool running water until no longer steaming. Drain on a clean kitchen

towel. Transfer the baking sheet of coated cheese to the oven and bake for 5 minutes, or

until the disks are just beginning to soften and collapse slightly.

Add the green beans, radicchio, endive and grapes to the bowl of dressing. Toss

thoroughly, until everything is evenly coated with the vinaigrette. With a metal spatula,

transfer each goat cheese round to the center of a plate. Mound the salad over and

around, and serve at once. Serves 6 as an appetizer.

KendaLL-JacKson vintner’s reserve chardonnay 2011Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay has been America’s number one selling Chardonnay

for 20 years. Whether or not you know (or think you know) what it tastes like, you

should try it again. It’s everything you’re looking for in a Chardonnay—great taste

at a nice price.

The grapes for Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay 2011 are grown

in cool coastal vineyards, thus making it fruit-forward, divinely complex, approach-

able and very food friendly. You’ll taste tropical flavors of pineapple, mango and pa-

paya with notes of citrus; a hint of toasted oak completes the long, lingering finish.

My customers love it and at approximately $15 a bottle, it’s a great wine for any

occasion that pairs perfectly with this month’s pistachio-crusted goat cheese salad

with sherry vinaigrette. •—richard righton

Answers by Camelia Miller

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

Orchard Delights is a farm within a farm (Twin Peaks Orchards). Twin Peaks has

been in the family since 1912, and I am fourth generation. I grew up on the farm and

returned to it with my husband, Justin Miller, and my four children in 2007. We felt

that it was time to offer organic fruit to our customers. In 2008, we planted nearly

1,000 fruit trees and became certified organic with CCOF in 2011. We now have

peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries, apricots, persimmons and citrus available.

The orchard also offers a seasonal on-site farm stand where customers can come

directly to the farm and pick up fresh produce, jams, eggs, honey and more. Some

other farm events include an open house in the summer and farm-to-table dinners.

How are you involved with both the community and your customer?

In addition to running Orchard Delights, I do all of the sales and marketing for Twin

Peaks Orchards. I attend several different farmers’ markets within the community

and host an open house at the orchard, which is open to the public and includes

many local agricultural groups and businesses. This allows me to get constant feedback

from the customers directly. We also donate fruit to food banks, youth groups and other

non-profit organizations.

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

To the orchard—just to walk amongst the trees throughout the seasons is very calming—or

the dance studio.

What’s your biggest job perk?

Access to all the best local food in our beautiful area!

Where do you and your family go locally to have fun?

Usually to one of my children’s football games or daughter’s dance performances.

And finally, customer service is…?

A happy customer returning for their second box of peaches!

I started my business in May of 2012 while I was running for Miss California USA 2012.

When a local gun shop gave me a wonderful sponsorship, I decided to get women

actively involved in self-protection and awareness. I realized very quickly that women

had no interest in the matter, so I thought to myself, “What do we, women, love?” And it

came to me—we love fashion, accessories and style! So that’s where I came up with the

concept of Safely Sexy (designer pepper sprays). I developed and manufactured the

product during the early months of 2012 and launched the product in May. We are

currently in more than 200 stores nationwide—including many locations here in

our hometown—and growing.


For each pepper spray sold, Safely Sexy makes a monthly donation to Our

Wounded Warriors. I’m a strong believer in helping those who fight and help

us. We always support local events and do numerous donations—small to big—

including silent auctions, golf tournaments, Women’s Business Success, Placer

County Realtors and more.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

We are extremely hard working, strive to give the best customer service, know

what needs to get done, and handle business.

Where do you and your family go locally to have fun?

We love to stay fit, and I tend to go to California Family Fitness for great classes and

swimming; also, we like the three movie theaters around town.


Making customers your family. How would your family and/or you want to be treated?

It’s going above and beyond to make someone feel that you care.

After working at Cal and Stanford for 21 years, I decided to go into business for

myself. Mathnasium is a wonderful little business with an extremely effective product,

and it’s still in education.


When your business involves other people’s children, you find out a lot about their

lives, and sometimes little things can make a big difference in a kid’s life.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

They are young, energetic, attractive, kind, well trained, highly skilled and very, very

smart. A basic requirement is that they be able to teach calculus on a drop-in basis.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

Raising a family with four amazing children, now grown, and my lovely and charming

wife of 33 years.

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

I am a lot like my parents—good, bad or indifferent—so I pay very close attention to what

they do, either to copy them or to do the opposite!

Where do you go when the going gets tough? Prayer.

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

Chantara Thai Cuisine—a beautiful restaurant by the water at Town Center in El Dorado Hills.

What’s your favorite local business other than your own?

Summit Dental in Folsom—Dr. Moussavi is the best dentist in the area.

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

A fighter pilot.


Everything. Make your business work for your customers—they’ll love you for it, and you’ll be

in business for life.


We specialize in placing seniors into assisted living and residential care homes, and provid-

ing in-home care for seniors who choose to stay at home. I think we found each other.

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

My first job was working at McDonald’s in Rancho Cordova. I learned respect and respon-

sibility and how not to hurry along too fast.


My company donates back to low-income seniors who have no one, and during

Christmas we adopt low-income seniors and low-income board and care homes.

Every senior gets a complete outfit and a warm blanket; as well, we donate time

at skilled nursing facilities during Halloween and carve pumpkins with them. We

give clients our undivided attention and make everyone feel special, because

they are.

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

My mom. Her strength as a single mom is phenomenal. She taught me to be

strong, to always count on myself, and to never give up on my dreams.

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

I don’t escape anywhere when the going gets tough; instead, it makes me be

tougher and handle the challenges set forth. I don’t know how to run away from

challenges; instead I deal with them, resolve the issues, and then move on.

What’s your favorite local business other than your own?

I love to try new restaurants, and shopping at the Fountains at Roseville’s boutiques.


Very important to me. If I receive good service, I will promote that business to everyone

and become the best customer. I truly believe in treating all customers with respect.

gas tank, buy clothes for fall or books for

their first year in college. On second

thought, they might need a couple

jobs for that one.

It should show them what

it means to live up to the

expectations of a man-

ager who doesn’t think

they are the center

of the universe but

who may grudg-

ingly show them

respect if they do a

good-enough job,

or—if they do bet-

ter than that—might

even come to rely on

them.

Granted, it isn’t

easy for a teen to get a

summer job these days; a

recent study found that 35

percent of teens looking for

work in California last summer

didn’t find any. But as the economy

improves, that will change, and regardless,

a kid should still try, because there is value

just in that—perseverance, for example.

And if they do get a job? They also get this:

appreciation for honest hard work and for

honest, hard-working people.

And here’s the biggest upside of all:

If the job goes well, or even if it doesn’t,

they will have gotten a taste of self-re-

liance, real independence, and a sense

that maybe they can eventually make

their own way through this crazy world.

Which, unless you don’t care if they’re

still living at home when they’re 30,

should be reason enough. •

or a sandwich, or hear “double-double

animal style” and know exactly what to

do next. Maybe they’re a lifeguard, super-

vising the carefree chaos of a public pool

on a 100-degree day, sunglasses over

their eyes and zinc oxide on their nose. Or

they could just mundanely stand at the

front of an air-conditioned movie theater,

tearing tickets and saying “Screen 14, to

your right.”

It doesn’t even have to suck all that

much. A mall or coffee shop job could

be pretty chill. Whatever it is though, it

should demonstrate the value of a dol-

lar, so they can start to get their head

around how many of them it takes to fill a

Every teenager, when they are old

enough, should have a summer

job that sucks. It could be a

job that puts them outside and

makes them sore, sweaty

and sunburned; or maybe

dehydrated and yelled

at by a crotchety old

foreman with skin like

beef jerky who seems

to hate everything

and everyone; or, it

could be something

indoors that keeps

them on their feet—

perhaps filling orders

or stocking shelves,

washing dishes or wip-

ing tables.

Either way, it should

be something that keeps

them too busy to text or

tweet or launch a single

Angry Bird toward a single smirk-

ing pig for a good six to eight hours.

Something that makes them interact with

others, or not at all, that makes them think

on their own, or put their brain on pause.

It should be something that spells them

from books, school, parents, siblings and

maybe even athletics. The job should

make them occasionally have to say no

to friends when invited to hang out at the

mall, the lake or a party on Saturday night.

They should have to punch in and

punch out, sometimes working early,

sometimes staying late, sometimes get-

ting called in last minute because a co-

worker flaked. They should have to help

a customer locate something not easy

to find, or help an old person to their car,

or smile (forced or not) at little kids beg-

ging: “Please Mom can I get something?”

as they walk past the candy aisle, be-

cause that was them not too long ago.
