8 stylemg.com - July 2013
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

When Susan Rohan graduated
from college in 1971, a ca-
reer in politics wasn’t even
a possibility. “In those days, if a woman
knew how to type, she ended up in an
administrative role,” Rohan recalls, add-
ing with a laugh, “I never
wanted to learn how to
type.” Rather than join
the clerical ranks, Rohan
joined a small construc-
tion materials business,
eventually working her
way up into positions of
greater responsibility. She
went on to work in con-
struction and land man-
agement; often, her job
entailed sitting in on city council, school
board or other local meetings. She soon
became fascinated with the inner work-
ings of a city, and after starting her own

became even more actively involved in
local government.
Since her successful bid for mayor of
Roseville in 2010, Rohan has been work-
ing hard to bring in revenues and improve
the city’s higher education offerings. She
also volunteers with Ke-
aton Raphael Memorial
(childcancer.org)and sits
on the boards of the Sal-

Memorial Hospital, among
other charitable activities.
Her primary goal is to
show how much good can
be accomplished if people

school district, to their community,” Ro-

rewards are very great.” • — Amber Foster

LOCAL WATERING HOLES...FOR THE KIDS! Summer’s in full swing, and while we may

is about to burst. This month find a list of
the best family-friendly cool-down dips.

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.

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.

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

why we here at Eco
Princess Organics
have handcrafted
a pure and gentle
children’s bath line,
made with effective
organic and botanical in-
gredients that you can feel
good about using.” Eco Princess Citrus Sham-
poo, for example, is all-natural and made from
olive leaf extract and sweet almond protein, as
well as essential oils of grapefruit, vanilla, blood
orange and tangerine.
Walgreens, the
country’s largest
drugstore chain, re-
cently launched their
Ology brand of baby
and personal care
products, as well as
household cleaners
that are free of harmful
formulations. “Ology reflects
our dedication to innovation, our constant drive
to improve our customers’ quality of life, and
our ongoing commitment to help people get,
stay and live well,” says Joe Magnacca, former
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.

many organic bed and
linen products available.

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.

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
July 2013 - stylemg.com 37
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-

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
on New Zea-
land’s longest
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?

Just 10 minutes up Highway 1 from Mor-ro Bay is the charming old-world beach town of Cayucos. Yes, they still exist! Simple, rustic and free of the souvenir-laden tourist traps that clog the coastline, Cayucos has kept its charm remarkably in tact. Whether it lures you in with its rolling surf or antique stores, Cayucos will catch and keep you—hook, line and sinker.

National Geographic named Oregon’s Hood River one of “100 Best Adventure Towns.” Just one hour east of Portland on the mighty Columbia River, thrill seek-ers have long been harness-ing the bracing Westerlies, pounding the flowing river and carving it up on the towering cliffs. Don’t be in-
timidated though—Hood River is also beer country. Between the beer, the food and the scenery, relaxing is in no way frowned upon in Hood River.

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.

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!

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?
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.
How are you involved with both the community and your customer?
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.
And finally, customer service is…?
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.

Answers by Jeff Pudewell
Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?
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.
How are you involved with both the community and your customer?
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.
And finally, customer service is…?
Everything. Make your business work for your customers—they’ll love you for it, and you’ll be
in business for life.
Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?
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.
How are you involved with both the community and your customer?
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.
And finally, customer service is…?
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. •

ing Show on New Country 105.1; or

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?”

cause that was them not too long ago.
