Unless, of course, it’s a Style Readers’ Choice Award! In

that case, winning is quite impressive. Over the years, our

annual contest of readers’ choices for local favorites has

become the talk of the town, with competition becoming increas-

ingly fierce. We are all presented with hundreds, if not thousands

of choices a day – some decisions easier than others – but the

ones we celebrate this month are those shared by many. With

thousands of votes counted, this year we proudly give you an

expanded list – including many new categories – of local winners.

The numerous awardees run the gamut from favorite breakfast

place and favorite place to get vegetarian food to favorite kids’

activity and favorite pet groomer, all the way to favorite local

athlete, favorite wedding DJ and favorite best kept secret.

My favorite secret (which is secret no more) is keeping this

month’s magazine handy in my car or purse for when I’m in the

market for something new...like a new Thai restaurant or some-

where to get my oil changed. It’s a good reference for finding

people, businesses, services and activities that have been ap-

proved of by so many fellow residents.

Speaking of secrets, if you have a high school senior this year, don’t

miss Melissa Camilleri Magliola’s “Countdown to College” in Our Kids.

She gives succinct strategies and tips to ease the stress and increase

a kid’s success throughout the college admissions process.

Also in this issue, make your next party (the holidays are on

our heels!) a winner withJamila B. Khan’s “Host with the Most”

in Home Design. Add a little spark to your shin-dig with these

seven hospitable must-haves. And since you will also want to look

glowing at your gatherings, check out “Forever Young” in Health

& Wellness for the best anti-aging products on the market. From

creams and serums to hair and smile care, the list will set you on

a path to the fountain of youth.

Looking to get involved in the community or find a new activ-

ity? Find more to see and do within the pages of What’s Up, FYI

and the Calendar. Until next month, enjoy the new season in town

and let your old favorites know how much

you love them. •— Desiree

We’d love to hear from you – send us your

community events (for Calendar), your

favorite recipe & photo (for Thanksgiving

Reader Recipes), and any other story ideas to

[email protected].

winning isn’t everything...

After Roseville resident Janet Zeitman

retired from a career as an elementary

school teacher 20 years ago, something

was missing. Her own children were

grown, and she missed the social interac-

tion of her teaching days.

“I needed a way to get

out and be in the com-

munity, to see what other

people were doing,” Zeit-

man explains. She began

volunteering her time for a

variety of local groups, in-

cluding after-school tutor-

ing programs and Habitat

for Humanity. In 1992, she

and her husband drove to

Florida to help with Habi-

tat for Humanity’s rehousing effort fol-

lowing Hurricane Andrew; the experience

made Zeitman even more aware of the

positive impact she and other volunteers

gettoknow

Q: What advice would you give to your

younger self?

A: Have faith – things work out.

Q: What comes to you naturally?

A: Leadership and taking charge

Q: What’s your biggest pet peeve?

A: When mechanical things stop

working.

Q: Are you high or low maintenance?

A: Low

Q: What are you most proud of?

A: My family and my teaching career

Q: Favorite humanitarian cause?

A: Habitat for Humanity

Q: Best words of wisdom you’ve

received?

A: Be true to yourself; don’t worry

about what others think.

Q: What’s next?

A: I don’t know – life is an adventure, so

whatever comes along…

Janet Zeitman

Escape: Being in the woods or at the

beach

Guilty pleasure: Reading, playing games,

wasting time

Meal in town: Macaroni and cheese

(comfort food) or a good steak; I don’t

have a favorite restaurant.

Memory: Traveling around the U.S.

Musician/band: Jazz, Tommy Dorsey

Local nonprofit: Habitat for Humanity,

Sacramento Audubon Society

could make on people’s lives.

In addition to spearheading an oak

tree planting campaign at Sun City, for

the past three years Zeitman has volun-

teered her time at the Roseville Utility

Exploration Center, edu-

cating children about the

importance of recycling

and the conservation of

water and electricity. Last

year, she won the Sylvia

Besana Community Vol-

unteer Award, but for

Zeitman, the best reward

is the enjoyment she gets

from working with the

children who come to the

Center. “I love being with

kids and seeing their excitement when

they’re learning something new,” Zeitman

shares. •

WHAT’S IN SEASON NOW: PUMPKINS!Whether carved as a jack-

o-lantern, chucked in a

pumpkin-throwing contest

or eaten in a favorite pie

recipe, this gourd-like squash is

fat-, cholesterol- and sodium-free, plus a good source of vitamin

C and excellent source of vitamin A. Pumpkins that are small and

green can be eaten in the same way as squash or zucchini.

DID YOU KNOW?Pumpkins are one of the most popular crops in the U.S., with

1.5 billion pounds produced each year. Top pumpkin-producing

states include California, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Weigh-off competitions of giant pumpkins are a popular activity

at festivals across the country, with one of the world’s largest

pumpkins weighing more than 1,800 pounds! Placer County

boasts numerous farms that produce pumpkins, including

Amber Oaks Raspberries in Auburn, Pilz Produce at Hillcrest in

Penyrn, and The Flower Farm and Horton Farm Pumpkin Patch

There are so many wine-rating

systems, are some better than

others?

The 100-point system is the

easiest to use from a judge’s

standpoint, but it still all boils down to

subjectivity. You really have to know

who is doing the rating. A 90-point

rating from one source may be equiva-

lent to significantly less points from

another. It’s an attempt to impose

an objective system on a subjective

subject and it has many problems, as

one would expect. Point systems are

popular with marketers because they

appear to be an easy way to tout qual-

ity. This is good, because most high-

point-garnering wines are good wines,

so it works with all kinds of buyers.

However, in the end (in my opinion),

the only thing that really works is your

own palate. That’s why it’s great to get

out there to local wineries and wine

events to taste for yourself!

in Loomis. Other great places to stock up on the fall favorite are

Rickey Ranch Pumpkin Patch and Otow Orchard and Fruit Stand

in Granite Bay.

SELECTION AND STORAGE:When selecting a pumpkin, consider ones that are firm and

heavy for their size. A good pumpkin should have a dull finish,

be free of blemishes and include an intact stem. A two- to three-

pound pumpkin will feed about six guests in a fall-flavored side

dish. For cooking purposes, this smaller size features a tender,

flavorful flesh. Pumpkins should be stored unwrapped in a cool,

dry place with good air circulation. If a pumpkin is cut, the pieces

should be wrapped and refrigerated.

— Susan Belknap

In desperate need

of a java fix one

morning after

a long night out, I

found coffee solace

in Roseville’s Shady

Coffee & Tea, a cozy

independent shop

with serious soul.

The exposed brick walls, rich wood furni-

ture and accents, and vintage décor ex-

uded a strong, old-world feel. The shop

also features plenty of personal tables –

perfect for getting your work done in a

comfortable atmosphere. Off the pleas-

antly simple menu, I chose a Chocolate

Chip Scone and a brewed-to-perfection

Americano. The scone, creamier and

flakier than any biscuit I’ve ever had,

ALBUMSTHEN: Infinite Arms – Band of Horses

Almost pop, a little bit rock, a touch

of folk – it’s hard to describe Band of

Horses’ Infinite Arms. Sweeping melo-

dies will swirl in your head for days and

gorgeous vocal harmonies will bring a

smile to your face merely because of

their sweetness. Are we overselling? You

tell us.

NOW:The Carpenter – The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers are the perfect com-

pliments to the ghouls and goblins on

the loose this October. Their seventh

studio album, The Carpenter returns to

the trademark simplicity of 2009’s I and

Love and You, but tracks like “Paul New-

man Vs. The Demons” show they haven’t

forgotten how to get loud.

FLickS WiTH STyLE – Killing Them Softly

Adapted from a popular novel, the movie follows a professional enforcer who investigates

a heist made on a high-stakes, mob protected poker game. In theaters October 19.

DVDsTHEN: Carnival of Souls

Made in 1962 for $33,000, Carnival of Souls

is a must for fans of Lynch and Romero, or

horror in general. With its unique score

and unsettling sound and visual design,

Carnival of Souls is more of a stylistic hor-

ror movie than blood and guts (there isn’t

any); a curiously unsettling piece of film-

making for this holiday month.

NOW: The Cabin in the Woods

From the mind of Buffy/Firefly genius

Joss Whedon, this flick starts out as a

paint-by-numbers “teens go camping”

horror story. You’ll think you’ve seen the

movie before, right up until the moment

when…(ha!), like we’d really spoil what’s

in store for you. All we can say is that it’s

awesome, and a mandatory Halloween

viewing. •

BOOkSTHEN: The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley

Jackson

Alongside Henry James’ The Turn of the

Screw, Shirley Jackson’s 1959 The Haunt-

ing of Hill House is a literary horror clas-

sic. Popular enough to be twice made

into a movie (1963 and 1999), nothing

replaces the slow, unfolding psychologi-

cal terror of reading Jackson’s original

masterpiece.

NOW: Breed by chase Novak

Chase Novak is the pseudonym for Na-

tional Book Award-winner Scott Spencer

(A Ship Made of Paper, Endless Love). It’s

clear why a name change was in order –

Breed is not for the faint of heart. Simply

put, a gruesome tale of fertility treat-

ment, Breed has already been praised

by the likes of Stephen King and is a

Halloween must.

Internationally known artist Maija Pee-

ples-Bright has a deep passion for all

kinds of art, animals, nature, color and

most of all, having fun. In The Spirit of

Woofdom – a documentary telling the

story of Peeples-Bright’s life and art –

each of these elements are intertwined

and celebrated in magnificent fashion.

Playful and colorful animals, or “beast-

ies” as she refers to them, populate all of

her pieces, illustrating the joy in life and

art. Animals of the “woof world” have

been a part of Peeples-Bright’s portfolio

since the ‘60s and continue to appear

in her work. Her 2005 series of mixed-

media paintings and ceramic figures

features her favorite historical figures

as “woof heroes.” “George and Martha

Woofington,” “Chief Sitting Woof,” and

others are depicted with animals Pee-

ples-Bright feels match their personality

strengths.

“I love animals,” Peeples-Bright says.

A love she expresses by featuring all

types of animal images in her paintings

and ceramic art. She describes her work

as “a touch of familiar, a touch of fantasy,

and a touch of fun.”

A native of the northern European

country of Latvia, Peeples-Bright fled

from a Russian invasion with her fam-

ily into Germany in 1945. After spend-

ing time in refugee camps, the family

eventually made their way to the U.S.

by obtaining a sponsor – an Orangev-

ale gentleman farmer. Peeples-Bright,

along with her mother and father,

worked on the farm for a year to pay

the debt. They thrived here in northern

California and decided to make the area

their new home.

Even though Peeples-Bright’s family

wanted her to pursue a career in math-

ematics as her father had, art became

her life’s path. She attended UC Davis

and first enrolled in the mathematics Ph

theartsprogram, but soon changed her mind.

With encouragement and guidance from

UC Davis’ art professors, such as Wayne

Thiebaud and William T. Wiley, her unique

talent flourished. “Mathematics helped

as a logical thinking tool,” Peeples-Bright

explains. “However, art was the most

wonderful thing I ever experienced, so I

changed my major.”

After visiting Peeples-Bright at her

new home and huge Rocklin studio, it’s

clear that her artistic passion has not wa-

vered. And inside her haven, it’s not only

her own art, but a myriad of works by

others that shows just how much she is

inspired by creativity. Art is everywhere –

nearly every inch of wall space and other

surfaces are filled with wonderful pieces;

even Peeples-Bright herself is covered.

The day I visited she wore a blouse and

shoes covered in illustrations of fantastic

and colorful animals, which she herself

painted on the fabrics. “Art should be

everywhere,” Peeples-Bright says. “Art,

like music, should touch your soul.”

Her work has been on display at lo-

cal museums, such as Roseville’s Blue

Line Gallery, and is on permanent display

both nationally and internationally at sev-

eral museums including Sacramento’s

Crocker Art Museum. In addition, her art

is featured in many permanent public and

private collections around the world.

Peeples-Bright is currently busy at

work on her new series of night scenes

featuring the intriguing animals that

come out after dark; the first of Noc-

turnes is a depiction of an aye-aye lemur

(a native of Madagascar) at Yosemite’s

Bridalveil Fall. •

isn’t filing the applications; rather, it’s

waiting for the admissions decisions.

“You might notice you and your stu-

dent are fighting way more than usual,”

McGuire explains. “This is normal. As

parents, we want to keep our babies

with us, while our seniors are seeing the

light at the end of the tunnel of child-

hood. It’s a transition. Be gentle with

each other.” •

3. AFTER APPLYING, CHECK YOUR EMAIL AND WRITE DOWN PASSWORDS!“It’s incredible how often I see really

bright, college-bound students who are

puzzled because they haven’t heard

back from a school to which they’ve

applied,” says Kara McGuire, head

counselor at Casa Roble High School

in Orangevale. “Nine times out of 10,

they aren’t checking their emails or Web

portals.” Fisher concurs. “Most (if not

all) communication from universities

will be through email.” Check it! And

while we’re on the subject of email, we

suggest using a simple, professional

email address. You’re applying to col-

lege; time to retire the cutesy one you

made back in fourth grade.

FOR PARENTS4. KEEP YOUR KID ORGANIZEDPutting deadlines on a family calendar

is helpful, as well as a special file folder

with all college-related paperwork.

Fisher says, “Thousands of students per

year have their applications withdrawn

from consideration for not meeting

deadlines, such as sending in their SAT/

ACT scores or their transcripts on time.”

Offenstein agrees. “I don’t know how

many times I called to have the receipt of

something confirmed. To think if I didn’t

follow-up and didn’t know I was missing

something – well, let’s not go there.”

5. PROVIDE EMOTIONAL SUPPORTThis might seem counter-intuitive. Isn’t

it YOU who needs support with the

empty-nest syndrome approaching?

Yes. But for now, the most stressful time

Essays, applications and dead-

lines, oh my! It’s October, which

means college application sea-

son is already underway. As the class of

2013 slugs through personal statement

essay revisions, while buried under a

mountain of SAT vocabulary flashcards,

we’d like to offer a few words to the wise.

We’ve consulted the experts and com-

piled a list of tips to help your family

navigate the often-murky waters of the

college admissions process, in hopes of

providing some stress-reduction along

the way.

FOR STUDENTS1. DON’T PROCRASTINATEThe California State University appli-

cation opened October 1, and the Uni-

versity of California online application

opens November 1. “Last year during

this time, I set alarms on my cell phone to

give myself a schedule of when I should

have certain parts of my application

done. That gave me enough time to

double-check all parts before submit-

ting my apps,” Joshua Offenstein, Sac-

ramento State freshman, says. Time

management is key. Start today.

2. APPLY BROADLYJoe Fisher, admissions and outreach

counselor at Sacramento State, says,

“I like to recommend students apply

to their dream school, an attainable

choice, and a fallback. You never know

how competitive a campus will be from

year to year.” If the $40-$65 price tag

per application is making you cringe,

encourages them to positively express

their stress (important because young

kids posses a limited vocabulary and

therefore are unable to verbally describe

the subtleties of complex emotions they

feel). At Franny’s House kids might be

encouraged to “stomp” on their “icky”

feelings or pinpoint them through other

forms of active moving. Then, “sooth-

ing” activities are introduced. Supple-

mentary support comes from a full slate

of programs and services.

Mrs. Chim’s Class – entertaining yet

informative Web-based puppet shows

– tackles hot-button social issues like

racism and intolerance, while Project

Me – a peer-run project by teens for

teens – generates a positive social cul-

ture that helps to temper the power

of common negative influences. The

volunteer Youth Advisory Committee,

led by youth directors and comprised

of middle- and high-school students,

was formed to help participants develop

leadership skills while serving their com-

munity. Parents, meanwhile, have access

to a 24-hour support hotline as well as

to Sacramento County Court-approved

parenting and co-parenting courses.

And everyone benefits from the

organization’s interactive bullying edu-

cation and advocacy program. Its strong

network of resources includes Bully

Busters, which teaches kids to identify

harassing behaviors in order for them to

sidestep a potential situation in which

they might be targeted and tormented.

Related seminars discussing social hier-

archies, structures and power struggles

are also conducted. When necessary, a

bullying advocate is assigned to discuss

a bullying situation with parents and

children, while serving as a liaison for

both at the school level. •

profit, Franny’s House, which provides

kids with healthy coping strategies to

handle situational anxieties and emo-

tional pressures, and their parents with

techniques to better manage the stress,

establish structure, reset boundaries

and rebuild the parent-child trust bond.

Unique to Franny’s House is the non-

profit’s approach to care crisis. There

a child’s underlying issues – such as

attention seeking behavior in an effort

to gain power – and stress-causing trig-

gers are rooted out and dealt with using

age-appropriate tactics. Why stress?

Because, Rodriguez recently explained

on Blog Talk Radio’s Army of Angels,

the organization has identified stress as

“…the first barrier to accessing a health-

ier emotional mindset.” “Therefore,” she

elaborates, “We work with our children,

and empower them to manage their

stress first and then begin to rebuild

some of those broken relationships and

personal boundaries.”

This happens methodically, initially

by tapping into a child’s natural physical-

ity. Children are offered a platform that

Reflecting a now sadly familiar

story, Franny and her older sister,

Alex, suffered extreme emotion-

al distress from living in a violent house-

hold. Later they endured the fallout of

their parents’ fractious divorce – one

involving the criminal and family court

system, Child Protective Services and

various government non-profit agen-

cies. Despite well-intentioned attention

from all parties, the girls continued to

bear severe anxiety resulting from their

experience – the brunt of its toll pain-

fully obvious to their deeply concerned,

and extremely determined mother, Jen-

nifer Rodriguez.

Helping Franny and Alex – now joy-

ful, well-adjusted 9- and 12-year-olds

– better deal with their highly-charged

emotional challenges led Rodriguez to

what had happened –

how the normal dosage

was one maximum and I

took three. “That’s a lot...

you have someone there

to watch you right?”

they asked. “Yes, why?”

I replied. “Because al-

though it’s not techni-

cally an overdose, if you

go to sleep during the

peak period, you could

stop breathing.”

Let me cut to the

chase. I prayed a lot, and

physically I was fine. Un-

fortunately, it served as

a massive trigger to my

panic disorder, which

raged for an hour and a

half; I couldn’t even fo-

cus to have a conversa-

tion. In fact, I could very

well chalk up that night

to my worst in recent

memory.

So, what was good

about it? Well , even

though my wife was

initially more tired than

I was, she stayed up to

keep me safe and help me through

the panic attack – playing games of

Uno with me and challenging me to

head-to-head solitaire matches on our

iPhones. She prayed for me. She tried

to talk to me. She demonstrated more

unselfish love through that situation

than she would’ve been able to do in an

entire month of things going great. My

pain allowed her love to shine.

I woke up the next morning rather

groggy to the face of my youngest girl

staring at me with a sweet smile. “Good

morning, Daddy,” she said. I mumbled,

“Good morning,” but before I could roll

To read the label.” •

Lance Hahn is senior pastor at Bridgeway

Christian Church in Rocklin. He can be

with my wife and girls from a long day

of boating in the hot sun. I had water-

skied for the first time this season and

could anticipate all the muscles that

would soon start to ache. I felt drained

and tired, so I took three-anticipatory

Ibuprofen – already on the counter –

and headed to bed at the early time

of 9 p.m.

As I crawled in, next to my dog-tired

wife, she asked me a peculiar question:

“Why did you just take sleeping pills?”

“I didn’t. I took Ibuprofen, the blue

gel caps.”

“The ones on the counter?”

“Yeah.”

“Honey, those were extra-strength

sleeping pills. They had spilled out in

the drawer, and I had gathered them

up and put them on the counter to put

back in the bottle tomorrow morning.”

Needless to say, I was concerned

and called Poison Control. I told them

As a pastor, I see people experi-

ence all types of hardships. I

see pain on just about every

level. At the same time, however, I see

the amazing way adversity and pain

bring out love from those around us. I

can’t recount how many funerals I’ve

seen that lead to reconciliation of an

estranged family, or the number of en-

couraging cards – packed with pounds

of love – I’ve been privy to for people

in the hospital; I don’t even pretend to

know the power-packed emotions a

one-on-one visit with someone wres-

tling through life brings.

I’m certainly not saying bad times

are good. In fact, they are called bad

times because they are, well, bad. What

I’m saying is that along with the bad, an

opportunity arises for love to fill the gap

and show us something we didn’t really

know, or perhaps didn’t feel, before.

A few weekends ago, I came home

host with the most7 Party Must-Haves

by Jamila B. Khan

As the year draws to a close, we enter the months of holiday parties: a time of

warmth, joy and kinship for some, a time of forced, belabored social interac-

tion for others. Whichever perspective you take, Style’s compiled a list of

must-have accessories to help make your next gathering a hit – some may even turn

the toughest cynic into a bona fide party animal.

“Don’t Stop Believing”...That has been my motto for the past two years.

Two years ago I was given two weeks to live. Look-ing back I can see with clarity that beating cancer has helped define the person I am today. Am I a hero? Actu-ally as I see it, I believe the true Heroes are my family, my friends, my team at Dental Designs and my patients. Without faith, staying positive, everyone’s love, support and prayers I would not be here today.

Another true hero in my life and whom I would like to take this opportunity to thank publicly is my sister Lama. She truly gave me the gift of “LIFE”. She gra-ciously donated her bone marrow to me.

I want to express my sincere gratitude for all of the unconditional love and support I received and continue to receive from so many of you. I promise to continue supporting the community, bringing hope to the needy, and assuring everyone that ANYTHING is possible if you BELIEVE.

Every day I wake-up thankful and filled with grati-tude. To be able to see the sun, to hug my wife and kids, and to enjoy seeing each one of you who has kept me in your prayers.

“You should make every day count and appreciate every moment for you may never be able to experience it again, you can make your life anything you wish.”

We consider it a Great Honor to be voted the #1 dental office in Roseville, Rocklin & Granite Bay for the 4th year in a row. Our objective has always been to exceed our patients’ expectations. Our Greatest complement has been to see first -hand how we influence the lives of people. Our entire team at Dental Designs is driven to Excellence and committed to our patients.

Both doctors have incredibly high standards and hold themselves accountable to those standards. The entire team is committed to their work and value life-long learning because we believe in providing quality dental care rather than give into insurance companies. We will NEVER compromise. Our intense passion for our profession and unyielding enthusiasm for indulg-ing our patients is one of the reasons we feel our patients believe and trust in us.

We always go the extra mile to ensure that our knowledge of dentistry is exceptional. Our entire team has completed extensive hours of post-graduate train-ing, including several courses at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies.

We truly believe that everyone should have:The Smile They Desire, The Dentistry They Deserve!

You never get a second

chance to make a first

impression, but within

seconds of entering Zócalo, I

was smitten. Floor to ceiling, the

4,500-square-foot airy space,

fashioned by designer Ernesto

Cruz, is brimming with authen-

tic and artistic furnishings, from seven-foot

hand-carved columns to chandeliers remi-

niscent of agave plants. Black and white

fixtures, brick walls and splashes of scarlet

are punctuated by lush palm trees and

artwork created by Cruz; the overall vibe

is contemporary yet comfortable.

On a recent visit, the balmy autumn

air beckoned me to dine on the spacious

outdoor patio. As mariachi music set the

mood, a blackberry margarita and warm,

just-fried chips served alongside salsa and

creamy black bean dip piqued my palate

for what was to come.

Among the enticing entrée options,

which include everything from chile rel-

lenos and sopas to empanadas and en-

saladas, I enjoyed the Cochinita Pibil and

Mole Enchiladas.

Served three up and stuffed with

cheese and braised chicken, then topped

with a 26-ingredient (toasted nuts, choco-

late, chile and dried fruits, to name a few)

mole sauce and zigzag of crema, the en-

chiladas were a savory circus of tastes

and textures.

The Cochinita Pibil – pork shoulder

dine

in banana leaves, and cooked

until fall-apart tender – was

succulent and slightly sweet

with subtle hints of woodsy

smoke. When assembled with

the homemade corn tortillas

and accompanying pickled red

onions and habanero salsa, my

taste buds raced into overdrive. Family-

style sides of cilantro lime rice and black

beans were spot-on.

For dessert, the Tres Leche Cake is

worth dipping your spoon into. Served

in a Mason jar, the dense vanilla cake

soaked in “three milks” and garnished

with whipped cream and strawberries

was sinfully satisfying.

It’s no wonder everyone’s going loco

for Zócalo – the regional Mexican cuisine,

tequila selection and well-versed wait staff

are in a league of their own. •

Cochinita Pibil

2011 MASON SAUVIGNON BLANCRandy Mason has been producing wine for more than 30 years (the first

Mason wine was produced in 1993) and is known in the industry as a pio-

neer for producing some of the best California Sauvignon Blancs on the

market. It was Mason’s vision to produce a high-quality wine and make it

available at a fair market price. The fruit for this year’s Sauvignon Blanc

came solely from a vineyard called Blockhouse – located in Yountville –

which in itself is special and unusual, since typically grapes for Sauvignon

Blancs at this price point (approximately $16 bottle) come from various

sources. The vineyard is located at the heart of the valley’s floor, which

enjoys cool evenings and warm days, making for excellent grapes.

2011 Mason Sauvignon Blanc embodies a very elegant style with

amazing flavors of grapefruit, melon and fresh-cut grass. Fermented in

100-percent stainless steel tanks, it has a very distinctive nose, and over-

all is a true Napa-style Sauvignon Blanc that’s heralded for its varietal

trueness and perfect balance. I like to enjoy this wine with an appetizer

before dinner; it even goes well with hummus! •— Richard Righton

Morocco: A Culinary Journey

with Recipes from the Spice-

Scented Markets of Marrakech to

the Date-Filled Oasis of Zagora

by Jeff Koehler

(Chronicle Books, 2012, $29.95)

Like Grilled Spicy Kefta Brochettes, these

are a favorite throughout Morocco, re-

ferred to as snacks in street stalls and in

simple cafes. They’re inexpensive, fla-

vorful and quick to prepare. The chicken

takes on a lovely golden hue from the

cumin and sweet paprika. Calculate

about four brochettes per person as part

of a meal, accompanied by a few salads

and plenty of bread.

2 heaping tbsp. finely chopped fresh •

cilantro

2 tsp. ground cumin•

1 tsp. sweet paprika•

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)•

Salt and freshly ground black pepper•

6 tbsp. olive oil•

4 boneless chicken breasts (about 2 •

lb.) cut into 3/4-to 1-inch cubes

In a large mixing bowl, add the cilan-

tro, cumin, paprika and cayenne pep-

per. Generously season with salt and

pepper. Moisten with the oil and blend

well. Add the chicken and turn to coat.

Cover, refrigerate and marinate for

1 hour, turning occasionally.

Prepare skewers with 6-8

cubes of chicken on each. The

pieces should be just touch-

ing, not squashed tightly to-

gether.

If using a grill pan, skillet

or griddle, heat over medium-

high heat. If using a barbecue,

prepare a fire and heat until

the coals are glowing. If using a

broiler, preheat the broiler.

Cook the brochettes, nudg-

ing them from time to time with

the help of a spatula in order

to cook evenly on all sides, un-

til the meat is cooked through

and firm to touch, 4-5 minutes.

Serve hot. Makes about 16 bro-

chettes; serves 4. Co

If you think the nine cities encompassing

the Palm Springs area would be a great

retirement destination, well, you’d be

right…and you’d also be wrong. The year-

round sunshine, relatively slower-paced

lifestyle and brutally hot summers (luck-

ily it’s a dry heat!) does make the area

– collectively known as the Coachella Val-

ley – an attractive destination for retiring

snowbirds. But since there’s no shortage

of misters, pools and air conditioning,

don’t let the heat keep you from a week-

end getaway. Now through May, when the

weather is spectacular, is the perfect time

of year to indulge in some of the fabulous

things to see and do – at a fraction of the

high-season rates.

EXPERIENCEThere are 112 golf courses, countless hik-

ing trails and excellent resorts, spas and

restaurants at your fingertips. One not-

to-miss event for tennis lovers is the BNP

Paribas Open – held every March in Indian

Wells and known in tennis circles as “the

fifth major,” as it gathers the world’s top

professional players. The Tennis Garden

at Indian Wells boasts the second larg-

est tennis stadium in the world and is

surrounded by beautifully landscaped

grounds. In March 2012, attendance

topped 370,000 for the two-week com-

bined ATP and WTP event. Tickets are on

sale now for the 2013 tournament, to be

held March 4-17.

If tennis isn’t your thing, music may be.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival,

held every April, is the go-to music festi-

val. It’s like an annual Woodstock for the

millennial generation, but less muddy!

UNWINDIf your escape to the valley is about indul-

gence, then you’ll have no trouble finding

a spa to suit your needs. After a day on the

links or hardcore shopping in the El Paseo

Shopping District, try the Aqua Well mas-

sage at the Miramonte Resort & Spa in In-

dian Wells, where you float weightlessly in

a pool heated to your body temperature

while your muscles are rhythmically mas-

saged; the unique treatment leaves you

relaxed and almost spiritually calm.

Another fantastic venue is La Quinta

Resort & Club, also in Indian Wells. This

Waldorf Astoria property, originally built

in 1926, covers 45 lushly manicured acres

at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains.

Golf, tennis, dining and a world-renowned

spa combine for one of the most luxu- Imag

.

escape

rious experiences available. The spa’s

acclaimed HydraFacial is a new skin reju-

venation system that attracts both movie

stars and locals to experience skin care on

a whole new level.

Even though Le Parker Méridien’s

spa, PSYC (Palm Springs Yacht Club) has

no body of water in which to dock your

yacht, PSYC believes in the country club

experience, which – according to their

Web site – includes mixed doubles, a long

steam and a stiff cocktail. Difficult to ar-

gue otherwise!

FEASTMost resorts offer several dining options,

but one not to miss is Tinto at The Saguaro

Palm Springs, a wine bar and restaurant

from Iron Chef Jose Garces, featuring a

modern take on tapas from Spain’s Basque

region. Fun, vibrant and delicious!

The entire valley offers so many op-

portunities that you have to go and expe-

rience it for yourself. Oh, and if you visit in

the winter, don’t forget to pack your skis…

seriously! •

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

The Bath Boutique is a specialty online bath and body store where you can find a

unique selection of luxurious bath products and gifts. The product lines we carry

focus on natural ingredients, are not mass-produced, and aren’t available in ordinary

bath and body stores. We were always interested in aromatherapy and enjoyed

handmade soaps, so the concept of the boutique is based on that. We wanted to

give women an easy way to pamper themselves and enjoy “life’s little luxuries.”

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

Starting our business. We spent our entire careers in corporate positions but always

dreamed of having a business of our own. We finally took the leap and are so happy

we did!

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

The bath of course! It’s a great place to escape for a few minutes. The combination

of delightful scents and warm water can soothe any stress.

What’s your hidden talent?

Although we don’t sell our own bath product line (yet), we make handmade bath soaps

and bath bombs at home in our kitchen. It’s a fun and creative hobby.

What’s your biggest job perk?

We love all the fun, unique products we carry, and getting to use them everyday is a great

perk! Also, we have so much fun going to events and meeting new people.

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

La Provence Restaurant & Terrace.

And finally, customer service is…?

Our core focus. We know customers are a company’s biggest asset and want to create

a wonderful experience for them by sharing really great products that make them feel

pampered and indulged!

My wife, Stephanie, and I developed our winery.

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

Working on my uncle’s dairy farm. I learned farming is a lifestyle, not just a job.

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

We have an active wine club and participate in community events. In addition, I serve on the

Placer County Agriculture Commission and we’re members of various trade associations.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

We often hear we’re a fun place to visit, and customers love our service.


Planning, developing and establishing a successful winery business.

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

My uncle – he farmed his whole life and taught me the value of stewardship of the

land.

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

Stephanie and I enjoy sailing and golfing.


Seeing customers truly enjoying our wine – the fruits of our labor.


The Monkey Cat in Auburn – they have great food and a friendly staff.

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

Sailing on Scotts Flat Lake off Highway 20 and golfing at Auburn Valley Golf Club.

What’s your favorite childhood memory?

Working on my uncle’s farm – driving the tractor and working with the animals.


Providing award-winning wine in a fun, friendly atmosphere.

My passion for photography started in third grade when a school project required

us to make a handmade box camera. As an older sibling and cousin, I used to have

“photo shoots” with my younger family members and even the dogs – anyone who

would sit still long enough. The anticipation of having my 35mm film developed was

almost like waiting for Christmas morning. While life took me on another adven-

ture with my husband and three kids, it came full circle on my 33rd birthday when

my husband bought me my first SLR camera: a Canon Rebel XS. That Canon took

me on a 365-day photo adventure, which rekindled my passion for photography.

Capturing great photos feels like the easy part for me; the challenging part is the

editing, color enhancements and sharpening which happens after the photo is

taken. That challenge is what keeps me working hard to produce the best possible

product for my clients.


My children, my business, and most recently being voted “Best Photographer” in Placer

Herald’s “Best of the Best.”


Being able to share and capture special moments with my clients.


Don Quixote for sure! Their chile verde reminds me of my dad and childhood.

What’s your favorite local event that you go to?

Celebrate America – we love the Fourth of July and our community.

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

Icing on the Cupcake – they make my family (and me) happy.


What keeps you in business; horrible customer service could break you.

Answers by Fred Hymans

Describe your business.

Our group of financial professionals provides comprehensive financial planning, invest-

ment management, retirement planning, tax preparation, accounting, bookkeeping and

payroll services to individuals and small businesses in South Placer and Sacramento

Counties. We formed the business as a strategic decision to combine our talents and

experience to best help our clients.

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

Right out of college I worked as an account executive in the group sales department

at Marriott’s Great America (now California’s Great America) theme park in Santa

Clara. It was a fantastic job because I was able to learn about working in a sales

environment with executives from some of the top companies all over northern

California. Plus, I could ride roller coasters during my lunch break!

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

I enjoy volunteer work and am heavily involved in several nonprofits, including

Sons of Norway, a fraternal benefits organization. I am also on the board of my

church and have served as president of the Kiwanis Club.

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

Without a doubt I would be a teacher. As it is now, about 50 percent of what I

do is helping my clients understand the financial world. I think I would have been a

pretty good high school history or maybe math teacher. I love making kids think and

laugh; not necessarily in that order though.


Listening to my clients’ needs, questions, goals and dreams and providing them with

choices and guidance that exceeds what they’ve seen or heard in the past. Then I keep

in touch with them – hopefully more frequently than they expect – and return phone

calls and emails within the same day. Did I mention listening?

“What I love most about

the ability to improve

lives in a relatively short

period of time.”

The Best just gotbetterIntroducing Scott Fujii, M.D.

And pounding of paws,

Jangled the stars hung in the night.

Then suddenly they grew quite quiet

And held still, not twitching a tail.

A loud knock on their door –

Then three knocks once more.

Was it a monster hunter, hot on their

trail?

No, it was something considerably less

scary.

To them, anyway – but not you or me.

Because every grown monster

Once was a youngster,

And these two were still little, you see.

The ruckus they made was disturbing

Their parents one floor below;

With the thuds and the laughing,

And the booms and the cackling,

It was ruining Dad’s favorite TV show.

Two monsters one night were talk-

ing

About the scariest way to scare,

How to fright and strike fear

In anyone near,

And cause people to leap from their

chairs.

“I like to start with a sneer,” said one.

Said the other, “I like to start with a

scowl.”

“I whip out my claws.”

“I snap with my jaws.”

And they agreed one always should

growl.

One monster stood up on his hind legs,

To show how he towered overhead.

Broad-shouldered and tall,

Green scales and all,

He was good at bringing the dread.

The other lurched forward on all fours,

And swatted the air with his tail.

Then he reared back and bellowed,

And spit something yellow,

That smelled putrid and rancid and stale.

The first beast then flicked out his long

tongue;

Like a towel it snapped through the

room.

Disgusting and slimy,

And a little bit grimy,

It left the walls all covered in goo.

The second narrowed his one eye,

Which sat like a jewel on his forehead.

Then focusing in,

That horrible lens

Shot lightning that blew up a bed.

While the smoke cleared away they cack-

led,

And rolled on the floor with delight.

Their throaty guffaws

monster mash A Spooktacular Poem

by Tom Mailey

So their momma came stomping up-

stairs.

It was she who rapped with such clout:

“KNOCK IT OFF!” she bellowed.

And to make them more mellow,

She threatened them with a time-out.

Well, that was enough for our two little

beasts,

Who sat smiling at the damage they’d

caused:

Goo on the door,

A shattered bed on the floor,

Pillows destroyed by their claws.

And they both knew they needed a

broom

Or maybe two; there was so much to

sweep.

But such destruction is tiring

To a small monster’s wiring,

So instead...

They fell fast asleep. •

lips that say melips that say me

Restylane® uses a unique gel particle formulation to provide fullness and definition. The results? Natural-looking lips that say you.

To learn more, visit www.LipsThatSayMe.com

Restylane can be used for lip enhancement in patients over 21 years and to add volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds).

Important Safety Considerations for RestylaneRestylane should not be used by people with previous bad allergies, particularly to microorganisms known as gram-positive bacteria, or by people with serious allergies to drugs that have previously required in-hospital treatment. Restylane should not be used by people with bleeding disorders. Use of Restylane at the site of skin sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infection should be postponed until healing is complete. In these instances, Restylane use could delay healing or make your skin problems worse. After treatment, you might have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, or tenderness. These are typically mild in severity and normally last less than 7 days in nasolabial folds and less than 14 days in lips. Swelling

may be more likely in patients under 36 years, and bruising may be more likely in patients over 35 years. Rarely, the doctor may inject into a blood vessel, which can damage the skin. Although rare, red or swollen small bumps may occur. If you have had facial cold sores before, an injection can cause an outbreak. To avoid bruising and bleeding, you should not use Restylane if you have recently used drugs that thin your blood or prevent clotting. Restylane should not be used during pregnancy, when breastfeeding, or in patients under 18 years for nasolabial folds.

Treatment volume should be limited to 6.0 mL in wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and limited to 1.5 mL per lip, as greater amounts significantly increase moderate and severe injection site reactions. The safety or effectiveness of treatment in areas other than nasolabial folds and lips has not been established in controlled clinical studies.

Restylane is available only through a licensed practitioner. Complete product and safety information is available at www.RestylaneUSA.com.
