SAVINGS GUIDE

id you know that national pet month falls in May every year? While we might have missed the mark just a tad, this month we’re making up for it with an OMGso-cute homage to our local pets… and their people. If you don’t crack a smile, or manage to utter a giggle or two after flipping the pages of Style’s annual People & Their Pets pictorial with bonus quotes from pet owners (new addition this year!)—you should immediately try locating your sense of humor. “Until one No matter how has loved bad my day may be going, when I return an animal, a home to our two part of one’s pit bulls with smilsoul remains ing, teeth-baring unawakened.”— mugs and wagging Anatole France tales—I can’t help but feel as if Calgon just took me away. Our family simply would not be complete without them, and they teach the value of unconditional love on a daily basis. I can never stay mad at either of them for more than a minute…even when they drag my favorite sandals onto the lawn for a cleaning. Oftentimes, the media inaccurately characterizes pit bulls—instead of their irresponsible owners—as violent. It is for this reason that I feel compelled to counter this with the fact that I have had the pleasure of owning pit bulls for most of my adult life, and they are all the same—deeply loving, fiercely loyal, and always eager to please their people. Mine seem to think they are lap kittens. Now that I’m off my soapbox, the takeaway this month is probably something most of us can all agree upon: Our pets—furry, feathered, gilled and scaled—enrich our lives (and hearts) with joy, making the world a better place in which to live. Until next month, or as long as your life obliges, aspire to be as good of a companion to your human friends as our animal friends are to us. • — Desiree P.S. If you haven’t found your furever friend, don’t miss this month’s “The 10 Spot” which lists area pet rescues.

Q&A Q: What advice would you give to your younger self? A: Life does get better, and don’t give up or listen to negativity that surrounds you; also, people can say anything they want to try to bring you down, but it’s only when you start believing what they say that it becomes a problem. Q: What comes to you naturally? A: I feel very natural being on stage and speaking to large groups of people. It makes me really happy to motivate and inspire adults and kids to lead healthier, happier lives. Q: What’s your biggest pet peeve? A: I hate seeing adults speaking negatively about others, especially in front of their children. We have to lead by example if we want to reduce the amount of bullying in this country. If you want your children to be kind and compassionate—that starts at home.

ami Kader didn’t have the easiest of childhoods. His father left home when he was in seventh grade, and his parents divorced soon after. Following the trauma, Kader found comfort in food, and by the time he was a sophomore in high school, he weighed over 300 pounds. To make matters worse, he was tormented daily by bullies. “Other kids saw the weakness in me,” he explains. “I had no self-esteem—I was an easy target.” Things changed after Kader met Donny, a family friend who forced him to get off the couch and into the gym. Although Kader resisted at first, he discovered that exercising and eating healthy helped rebuild his confidence. By the time he was a senior in high school, he’d lost over a hundred pounds, and went on to find his calling as a fitness 12 stylergbr.com - August 2015

professional and in-demand motivational speaker. These days, Kader regularly speaks at over 50 schools throughout the Roseville and Granite Bay region and Sacramento—teaching kids about self-respect by emphasizing health and fitness as the keys to happiness. “My life’s mission is to help kids not go through what I went through,” Kader shares. And he doesn’t just talk to kids—he gets them moving with “Sami’s Circuit,” a fun, circuit-training experience with lights and music. He also teaches a free, public class every Saturday at The Family Church in Roseville. “To be in schools and motivate kids is a dream come true for me,” he explains. “Every day I wake up and think, what will happen next?” — Amber Foster

•

Q: What are you most proud of? A: My incredibly supportive wife Megan, my 16-month-old son Christian, my mom and my sisters. They have seen me through my worst and at my best, and continue to stand by me. Q: Best words of wisdom you’ve received? A: You become what you think about.

WHAT’S IN

SEASON? Heirloom Tomatoes

dant. According to many tomato experts, heirloom tomatoes are grown for a variety of reasons but mainly for their intense flavor.

SELECTION AND STORAGE The best way to assure good quality and taste is to use your nose. If you smell the blossom (not the stem end) you’ll find that the most flavorful ones have a rich tomato aroma. Heirloom tomatoes are more delicate and have a much shorter shelf life than other tomato varieties, since many have cracks, scrapes, bruises and are not as perfectly formed as “regular” tomatoes. The worst thing you can do is refrigerate them—refrigeration is the enemy of any type of tomato (it can turn the flesh mealy, causing the flavor to deteriorate). Once cut, however, refrigeration is acceptable. — Susan Belknap For details on where to buy Placer County farm-fresh produce, wine, meat and local products, visit placergrown. org and foothillfarmersmarket.com.

ask the expert Q: What kind of exercise and fitness programs would you recommend for seniors?

A: Postural strength and functional movement training, balance and fall prevention, and cardiovascular maintenance are all recommended programs for seniors. Building strong posture and core muscles helps individuals avoid injury and encourages proper movement patterns, which also adds to one’s quality of life. Balance training reduces the risk of falls— a quickly growing concern for today’s senior population. Lastly, having a weekly routine of cardiovascular exercise will not only yield good circulation and a healthy heart but also promote joint movement, elevated mood and overall wellness. — Noelle Ritter, Certified Athletic Trainer Roseville Health and Wellness Center 1650 Lead Hill Boulevard, Roseville 916-677-1200, rosevillehwc.com

DID YOU KNOW? Although this tomato variety doesn’t have an exact definition, it dates back to the 1950s when people saved the unique seeds from year to year, passing them down from gardener to gardener—hence “heirloom.” Heirloom tomatoes come in all different sizes, shapes and colors, and they all look (and taste) delicious. What’s more, they’re packed with vitamins A and C, potassium and lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that may reduce the risks of some cancers. These tomatoes are perfect in almost any salad or pasta dish, or even alone as a snack.

LOCAL PET RESCUES The life expectancy for a shelter animal is 72 hours, and the number of dogs put down in shelters each day is 5,500. Those numbers are according to An Act of Dog, a nonprofit started by Mark Barone, an artist who hand painted 5,500 photos of dogs to help put the number into perspective. Proceeds from the prints (anactofdog.org) help fund the lifesaving work of various rescue groups and no-kill animal shelters.

t’s tough to stand out in a sea of 100-percent Angus beef promises and fancy craft beer battered onion rings. From giant fast food corporations to smaller mom-and-pop diners and hole in the walls, you have to be able to crush the competition. Thankfully, Krush Burger does exactly what its name implies. Offering customers their choice of two “mini” burgers for the price of one, they also sell local wine and beer, for patrons who’d like a little something more than a milkshake. My eyes grew three sizes staring up at their huge menu board, trying to decide which two choices to chow down on. The Original burger and the Cowbell (a Western-style burger with crispy bacon, gouda cheese, barbecue sauce and crispy onion strings) sounded like heaven, so I upped the ante with fries and a Dr. Pepper. The fries were definitely reminiscent of In-N-Out’s—crispy on the outside and house-made—but the burgers were in a league of their own, with juicy and fantastically flavorful patties, fresh toppings, and buttery-soft buns. Next time you’re in the Roseville Galleria neighborhood and are craving a flavor-packed, all-American meal, head to Krush Burger, 1151 Galleria Boulevard, Roseville. 855-578-7403, krushburger.com. — Adrianna Valencia

In 2008, the Heritage Trail Tour, a free event featuring 20 museums in Placer County—from Roseville to Tahoe—began as a direct outgrowth of the Museum Division’s mission “to serve the public and promote community involvement through heritage education programs.” Exhibit Preparator Jason Adair discusses how the event has changed since its inception. “In the beginning, this event was a countywide open house where all participating museums would open their doors at the same time.

interpreting.” Activities this year include a granite splitting demonstration at the Rocklin History Museum, a gold panning school at the Gold Rush Museum and others—ranging from blacksmithing demonstrations to Western reenactments and live music. Adair’s favorite part is that “a lot of people take the whole event as a challenge to see how much history they can cram into a weekend. They come ready to explore and immerse themselves in local history. This year’s tour takes place August 15-16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For a full list of events, as well as specific timing and locations, visit theheritagetrail.blogspot.com. •

system, as CEO of Sutter Roseville Medical Center he was well-resourced to attend to his own health concerns. “I would grade my health as poor. I was 30-40 pounds overweight, could not do intense cardio exercise for more than 5-10 minutes and I was ready to make some positive changes.” Pat opted for the 12 week Corporate Wellness Program a comprehensive program that addresses all aspects of health utilizing a dietitian, private trainer, and relaxation therapies.

“The 12-week program has been designed as an excellent web of services with experts in a variety of disciplines with everyone working cohesively to help me be successful in achieving my goals. After just 12 weeks I lost 23 pounds, over 3 inches in my waistline, decreased a medication, lowered my cholesterol and significantly increased stamina and muscle sustainability during exercise. My ability to process and think is much clearer and I find that I am calmer during stressful situations.” Pat is an inspiration to us all and proof that a comprehensive approach to a healthier lifestyle yields great results. — Pat Brady

tea time Drink to Your Health by Kourtney Jason

or thousands of years, tea has been used for its medicinal purposes, making it a smart option for daily drinking. “All tea has benefits,” explains Laura Owens, owner and CEO of Owens Acres, LLC, in Placerville, and certified master herbalist and certified holistic nutritionist. “All teas are high in antioxidants, phenols, minerals and vitamins. It’s also anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and anti-mutagenic—meaning it reduces the rate that cells mutate.” “All true tea is derived from the same plant, the Camellia sinensis,” says Tamalisa Carlson, MPH, RD, a clinical dietitian at Marshall Medical Center in Shingle Springs. “White, green, oolong and black tea are differentiated during processing,” she explains. “The leaves are either taken straight from the plant, as in green tea, or they’re left out in the sun to ferment until they turn black.” While there’s no firm evidence—yet—that drinking tea will prevent cancer in humans, drinking up to two cups per day should be part of your healthful lifestyle. “It contributes to your daily fluid needs, has no calories, promotes heart health, reduces inflammation, protects your skin FOR STYLE’S from sun damage and may even prevent cancer,” Carlson says. 5 FAVORITE “Steeping tea for three to five minutes, to your preference, and TEAS, squeezing the bag will release the most polyphenols.

favorite type of tea, since all [varieties] have some benefit.” Teas or herbal teas (which are not true teas, but rather an infusion of fruits, herbs, flowers, roots, spices or other plants) are a great way to begin your day. “They provide much needed hydration and nutrients from your eight-hour sleep period and really help jump-start your body for the day,” Owens says. “Non-caffeinated teas are relaxing and soothing and are best at night to help you wind down and drift off to sleep naturally.” Naoko Tsunoda, Teavana’s tea authority and director of tea development, drinks a cup of matcha green tea as soon as she gets to work every day. “Matcha has so many [health] benefits and keeps me focused after drinking it. Our matcha has floral overnotes with a rich, creamy body and sweet finish,” Tsunoda says. “Straight green teas have a clean, delicious taste, and when paired with other fruits or spices, the flavor excites your taste buds and provides an enjoyable treat,” she adds. Both green and white teas are the least-processed type of tea, and they’re the richest sources of antioxidants. “White teas have an unmatched subtlety, complexity, natural sweetness and delicacy,” Tsunoda says. “Black teas are full-bodied and strong—they taste great alone or with milk and sugar, and they make great iced tea. Oolong teas are full-bodied with a flavorful fragrance and sweet aroma. Most people commonly recognize oolong as the tea served in Chinese restaurants.” Herbal teas can be a substitute to caffeinated teas and “used as a medicinal alternative for common issues such as headaches and migraines, an upset stomach, colic, weight loss, insomnia, PMS, menopause issues, blood pressure, acne, gout, cold and flu, allergies, cancers/tumors, and a long list of other common complaints,” Owens says. “For health and wellness, it’s best to have a few varieties on hand for both children and adults.”

slowlane guitars Made to Move You by Morgan Cásarez // photos by Dante Fontana

n 2001, Dennis Kalkowski was diagnosed with spinal-bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), a rare form of muscular dystrophy (MD) that slowly affects voluntary muscle movement. He suffered a debilitating fall a decade later that broke both his ankles and led to months of rehabilitation. In an effort to remain active throughout the recovery process, Kalkowski, a lifelong musician, learned to build electric guitars—a skill he would not only master, but also use to touch the lives of others living with MD, including numerous members of his extended family. “I’m 57 years old and was diagnosed just 26 stylergbr.com - August 2015

15 years ago,” he says. “The disease can strike at any time, and it is truly a life-changing event for the individual and their family.” To master the luthier’s trade, Kalkowski studied under the Cassottas of SonFather Guitars, one of the largest repair and custom guitar shops in Northern California. What began in 1995 as a passion project operated out of owner Dave Cassotta’s garage, eventually grew to include his children Jesse and Julie. “For the last 20 years, we have been modifying and customizing guitars to suit all kinds of players’ preferences,” explains Jesse. “We treat all of our clients like they are part

of the family and share in their excitement for their project.” Kalkowski proved to be a quick learner and soon, SlowLane Guitars was born. With the help of his wife, Gloria, childhood friend, Bob Rogers, and a team of the region’s finest luthiers and equipment suppliers, Kalkowski sells his custom, handcrafted guitars to raise funds and awareness for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). As the world’s leading non-profit health agency,

the MDA is dedicated to finding treatments and cures for more than 40 neuromuscular diseases, including SBMA. “The goal is to help the MDA become more relevant in today’s public eye,” shares Gloria, owner and president of SlowLane Guitars. “With the retirement of Jerry Lewis and the cancellation of future telethons, [it] faces new challenges in bringing awareness to younger demographic groups.” Despite his physical limitations, Kalkowski has personally designed and assembled an estimated 250 guitars to date. After their major components are handmade by local artisans, he pieces each instrument together with exceptional care and precision, despite bouts of debilitating pain. As Rogers says, his dedication and determination prove that there is life after a life-changing diagnosis. “This cause hits close to home for me, as I see my longtime close friend dealing with the effects of MD and reminds me to not take things for granted in my life that may appear challenging, but are in fact minor in comparison,” Rogers shares. “It amazes me every day when I see how Dennis’ passion for the art of guitar-making manifests itself in these wonderful instruments.”

financial aid How to Save for College at Every Age by Kristen Castillo

Getting Started The most popular way to save for college is to invest in a 529 college savings plan, which is tax-advantaged and sponsored by states, state agencies and some private colleges and universities. “Your best option is to use the age-based college savings funds,” says Archuleta, Jr., noting that the plans adjust the risk so it’s more aggressive for younger students and more conservative the closer the student is to starting college. “All plans offer the same tax advantages as the next, which is tax-free earnings used for qualified education expenses,” says Lee, who recommends investing five percent of your gross income each year to a 529 plan. Archuleta, Jr. tells his clients to pick a state college, an out-of-state college and a private college they’d like their child to attend. “Pull the current tuition rates for all three schools and calculate an average tuition rate for all; then, take this number and multiply it by the number of years your child is anticipated to be in college, usually four,” he says. Next, use an inflation calculator to estimate the adjusted total amount you’ll need to pay for the child’s education, and then plan your savings installments. Just remember added expenses, like books and room and board.

INVESTMENT TIME FRAMES STARTING IN KINDERGARTEN, open a 529. “A little savings early [on] will instill good annual habits and go a long way,” Lee says. STARTING IN FIFTH GRADE, and you haven’t opened a 529 account, now is the time. Make contributions regularly. “Checkin with your financial advisor to analyze savings to date and formulate a good savings strategy to maximize savings for college,” Lee advises. STARTING IN NINTH GRADE, “it’s crunch time,” says Archuleta, Jr., who recommends making “consistent contributions to the plan” and encouraging friends and family to contribute in lieu of gifts. This is also the time to start researching scholarship and grant opportunities, which can offset college expenses. Students who are working can contribute up to the amount of earned income or a maximum of $5,500 into a Roth IRA, which Lee advises doing since it “will create another investment vehicle for savings that can be withdrawn penalty free if used for higher education.”

he cost of going to college continues to grow. According to the College Board, attending an in-state public college costs $23,410 while a private college is $46,272. Saving money now is essential, says CPA Paul Lee with PSG Certified Public Accountants in Roseville. “Depending on career/college choices, the expenses usually exceed a family’s budget, so save early to ensure you help your children jump-start their road to success,” Lee says. Even if you didn’t start saving years ago, you still have time. “It’s never too late to start,” says Allen C. Archuleta, Jr., co-founder and CEO of Iron Peak Advisors in Roseville, who explains that while long-term investment is ideal, “with having to pay for books, tuition, housing, supplies, etc., a student can benefit from fiscal support at any level during their collegiate career.”

which hues are you? Creating a Whole House Color Palette by Kerrie L. Kelly, ASID

t seems simple, but picking a paint color is one of the biggest obstacles my clients have. When they realize they’re really picking an overall palette, they’re positively paralyzed. I’ve been part of the process in thousands of homes, and I have to remind clients that it really is simpler than we think. Answer a few questions, make some quick decisions, and then narrow those decisions down to an ultimate choice.

Flipping through magazines and websites can be a big help when you’re looking for inspiration, but first, take a minute to answer two important questions: What are your favorite colors, and how do you want to feel in your home? Are you looking for a serene oasis or a fun, funky vibe? Finding yourself on that spectrum and considering the colors most likely to take you there is where you want to start. We react to color on such a gut level that instinct will serve you well. If you’re really having a tough time, head to the closet and note the colors of your favorite clothes. Check out the bedding and art on the walls. You’ll be surprised how quickly you see a pattern that resonates. Choose three colors to get started.

WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS YOU CAN’T CONTROL? Next, factor in the elements of your architecture and design that you can’t change. Cabinets, carpet, floors and furniture are 32 stylergbr.com - August 2015

TEST! TEST! TEST! more permanent fixtures, and it’s easier, and more affordable, to paint around them rather than remodeling just to match the paint. Now, which of your three colors comes off the list? Decide quickly, be brutal, and keep moving.

WHICH ROOMS CAN YOU SEE FROM WHICH ROOMS? Even if you’re not working with an open floor plan, you want to consider everything in your line of sight as you choose colors for particular rooms. This won’t necessarily result in removing any of the colors from the list, but you may end up choosing a different tint or shade that you like for another room in your sight line.

COMMIT (AT LEAST TO A LIST OF THREE) Time to make a call. Start with your three main paint chips, and then choose one or two of its neighbors on either side to give you a spectrum of the colors you

This is crucial. Pick up an eight-ounce sample of those colors and brush some on every wall intended for. Depending on the light, one color will often look like two when painted on different walls. Live with them for at least three days—viewing them morning, noon and night—again noting the difference in shades under different light sources, and start narrowing. If you’re still having trouble deciding, vow to eliminate one color a day. Remember, you can always change paint, and you’ve chosen colors you actually like. At this point, it’s a safe bet that you’re going to love whatever you choose!

like. This will give you options for accent colors or for picking a broader whole-house color palette. The chips will look different in the store than they will at home; tape them up somewhere that gets natural light so you get a sense of how they look in varying light. Remove the “non-contenders” as soon as you can until you’re down to one chip for at least two of your three colors.

A Ruff Guide to Vacationing with Pets by Kristen Castillo

40 stylergbr.com - August 2015

eady to hit the road with your pet? Before you go, you have a lot to consider. “Anxiety is the biggest hurdle,” says Dr. Brad Cahoon, DVM, CVA, and owner of Veterinary Healing Center of El Dorado Hills and Folsom, who suggests exposing the pet to things she’ll experience while traveling, such as being in a crate or being around new people and environments. “Many animals just don’t like traveling in planes, trains and automobiles,” says Bob Campbell, owner of sBarkles, a do-it-yourself dog wash store with holistic, healthy dog and cat food in Folsom, who recommends a product called Rescue Remedy for Pets as a “natural stress relief.” The most important thing to remember when traveling with pets—whether camping, going to the beach or to the city—is planning ahead with your itinerary in mind. “Stopping for dinner? Where will Fido stay while you eat?” asks Jason Davis, The Dog Guy® of Folsom Dog Resort and Training Center. “One of the biggest challenges is being able to do the things you want to do with your pets [there],” says Karen Petree of Happy Feet Pet Sitting, noting that while many hotels and restaurants are becoming pet friendly, not all venues are suitable for them. “While on a recent trip to Florida, I noticed some boardwalks and beaches weren’t pet friendly,” she says. “Who will watch your dog while you do go somewhere that isn’t pet friendly?” Other pet owners can be great resources when it comes to getting advice and travel recommendations. “When traveling with dogs, people really need to research where they’re going,” says Erin Selover, owner of Wagger’s Pet Spa in Folsom, who recommends checking websites like bringfido.com to find petfriendly stops on your trip. Selover, who often travels with her golden retriever Jolie, also reminds pet owners to know their dog’s behavior. “If the dog is not socialized with other pets, that can be a problem,” she says.

Road Trip Tips

Roseville 916-771-0202 classickennels.org

IF A ROAD TRIP IS YOUR PLAN, HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

TAKE TEST DRIVES Get your dog used to being in the car, especially if your pet is a skittish traveler. “By taking smaller trips and continually rewarding and reinforcing good behaviors, your pet will eventually associate trips in the car with a fun, positive and rewarding time,” says Campbell. “Utilizing a special treat that they normally don’t receive can be of assistance in these instances as well.”

Doubletree Pet Resort Folsom 916-987-3586 doubletreepetresort. com

PACK THE RIGHT SUPPLIES

El Dorado Pet Club Shingle Springs 530-676-4442 eldoradopetclub.com

Fill a bag with essentials for your pet. Selover recommends a travel bowl, toys, food and water. Also, “make sure there is adequate space in the vehicle for Fido to travel comfortably,” Davis says.

Green Valley Pets El Dorado Hills 916-529-5930 greenvalleypets.org

Folsom Dog Resort

DON’T LEAVE PETS INSIDE THE CAR UNATTENDED When you exit the vehicle, so does your pet. “Be aware that you can’t leave a dog in the car when it’s over 70 degrees,” says Selover. “Heat can kill.” Remember to take frequent potty breaks, too. “Keep your pet hydrated before and during travel,” Dr. Cahoon urges.

BE SAFE

Keep your pet safe while you travel. “There are terrific harness systems available for dogs at both ezydog.com and kurgo. com,” says Campbell. “These companies are really, really good at designing products like harnesses and barriers that work in almost all automobiles.” The Humane Society of the United States urges drivers to use restraints so pets don’t roam in the car, and don’t let your pet sit in the front seat, where they could be injured if the air bag deploys. Allowing your pet to ride in an open truck bed is also a no-no.

FEND OFF PESTS “Make sure your dog is current on flea and tick medicine when traveling,” says Selover, who recommends keeping your dog out of brushy areas (where pests are abundant) and inspecting the pet’s coat thoroughly for fleas and ticks.

inside the cabin, while larger pets are considered cargo and travel in a crate with the luggage.

BE IN THE KNOW

“Flights are often delayed or canceled during the travel season,” says Davis. “Make sure you have talked to the airline and understand what will happen with Fido in the event your flight is delayed or canceled.”

UPDATE YOUR CONTACT INFO The Humane Society recommends traveling with a current photo of your pet. They also suggest labeling the pet’s carrier with your name, permanent address, phone number, travel destination, and where you can be reached when the flight arrives.

FLY DIRECT

Opt for direct flights if you can, which can minimize the travel time for you and your pet. What’s more, direct flights minimize the likelihood of delays since you’re not waiting for connecting flights.

KEEP UPTO-DATE RECORDS “No matter which mode of travel, be sure to get the necessary copies of your pet’s vaccination records,” Davis says.

CONSIDERING LEAVING YOUR PET AT HOME WITH A LOVED ONE OR AT A PET CARE FACILITY? HERE’S WHAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER.

LEAVE PETS WITH MOBILITY ISSUES AT HOME Don’t travel with pets who “don’t move around well or have medical conditions,” Dr. Cahoon says.

RESEARCH THE FACILITY AND STAFF If your pet will be boarded at a pet care facility while you’re away, make sure the space and staff meet high standards. Take a tour and get to know the staff before you book your pet’s stay. “Ask about the staff’s training and make sure you can trust the company,” says Davis, who advises making sure the facility “is insured and has a good safety record.”

Pets thrive on routines, so staying at home might be a comfort for your dog. “They won’t have the stress of going to an unfamiliar place, such as a boarding facility, if they are left in the comfort of their own home,” Petree says.

CONSIDER HIRING A SITTER

If you don’t know someone who will stay with or check in on your pet, hire a pet sitter. “Many pet sitters are very flexible, and some will spend the night in your home if that is your wish while traveling,” says Campbell. “Some will simply come twice a day to feed/water your pet and ensure they’re safe.” Make sure the pet knows (or has at least met) the sitter to safeguard that they’ll be comfortable.

CALL ME Give your sitter or facility staff all of your contact information, as well as details about your pet, such as their preferred schedule, food and treats, along with medications, if needed.

Your selections get steamed to perfection with your favorite sauce (she came bearing sample cups of each flavor) and then brought it out in a bag with a bucket for shells and scraps. For the indecisive, or the adventurous, there are also combo options that give diners the chance to try a little of a lot of different seafood offerings (along with corn and potatoes!), which is what we opted for. The delectably crispy calamari came out swiftly, but it wasn’t long afterward that our steam bag arrived and took center stage. Admittedly, it can feel odd to dig right in— though they give you plastic gloves to keep yourself relatively clean, it’s still Seafood Boil Combo a full-contact meal—but is definitely something kids and hands-on diners are bound to enjoy. Word to the wise: The kids (and some squeamish adults) may be a little thrown by the fact that the shrimp come intact—yes, that means their heads are still on. You can special order them sans heads if the idea bothers you or your little ones. It’ll seem impossible, but try to save room for dessert. It’s counterintuitive, but they have a surprising Calamari milk tea and shave snow selection (it’s like ice cream, by the way). o be honest, I had no idea how to eat crawThere are plenty of combinations, but fish before visiting Crawfish Factory.

dinner date Food and Wine for the Season 2013 CONUNDRUM CALIFORNIA WHITE Since Conundrum’s first vintage in 1989, they were determined to make a dramatically different white-wine blend that would surpass the scope of single-varietal wines. Conundrum White has tantalized palates and turned traditional winemaking on its head for over 20 years. From the first sip of 2013 Conundrum California White, you’re invited in with intriguing aromas of green apples, tangerine and honeysuckle blossoms. The taste is best described as exotic, with layers of peach, apricot nectar, green melon and pear—overlapped with subtle notes of citrus zest and spicy vanilla. A rich, round mouth-feel, supported by fresh acidity, brings the complexity of the wine into balance. Enjoy it as an aperitif with cheese, served on a warm summer’s day with family and friends, or paired with a wide array of dishes, including this month’s veggie-packed Farmer’s Chop Suey. Composed of five grape varietals—Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat Canelli, Viognier and Semillon—all sourced from Napa, Monterey, Santa Barbara and Tulare Counties, Conundrum is a contemporary white blend and a true California wine. —Christina Leyva, Events Manager, 36 Handles Pub & Eatery

Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil over high heat. Gently slide the eggs into the pot and bring back to a boil. Boil for 8 minutes. While the eggs are cooking, set up an ice bath. After 8 minutes, remove the eggs from the water, place in the ice bath, and let cool for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs from the ice bath, peel them and set aside until ready to use. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms, sweet peppers, and onion. Add the onion powder, dry mustard, sugar, celery seeds, and vinegar; season with kosher salt and pepper; and toss well. Let stand for at least 15 minutes, or for up to 1 hour, before serving. To serve, quarter the eggs and season them with salt. Spread a thick layer of cottage cheese onto a serving platter and arrange the vegetables and eggs on top. Squeeze the lemon halves over everything, garnish with the dill, and season with finishing salt and pepper. Leftover salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Serves 6 to 8.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Before entering the wedding industry, I managed bodily injury claims for a Fortune 100 insurance company. It was never the right job for me though—something was missing. I wasn’t allowed to be creative in the way I so desperately needed. Event planning found me, as I designed, coordinated and executed literally every major event in the lives of my friends and family. So, at the urge of those around me and with the support of my husband, I founded Jenn Robirds Events. After making a huge leap of faith, I’ve never looked back and have never been happier. Why is your staff the best in the business? I approach wedding and event design in terms of client experience. Planning a wedding can be exciting and completely overwhelming, all at the same time. My team removes the anxiety for my couples and truly allows them to enjoy their engagement and wedding day. Clients tell me their style and budget, and we provide them with the best vendors for each category to meet their needs. All they have to do is choose! We handle all of the negotiations, time lines, details and confirmations. We also ensure that their vision and style are carried out consistently in every aspect of their day. What’s your biggest job perk? Cake tasting. Lots of cake tasting (and leftover cake)! And finally, customer service is…? In my industry, customer service is a feeling. The clients that I work with trust me with, arguably, one of the most important events of their life. If, after their event, they look back on all of the moments leading up to the wedding, along with the day itself and everything after, with an overwhelming feeling of happiness, then I have met my definition of customer service. My goal is to exceed their expectations at every point in the planning process.

Answers by Jeff Gill. Describe your business. Our top focus is on school band and orchestra instrument rentals. We only carry new instruments by Yamaha, which is the brand that’s most recommended by all area music teachers. If Mom and Dad are concerned about whether or not their child will stick with it, don’t worry! Our rental program is set up as a month-to-month commitment, and our prices are very low. We also have eight studios where our fantastic teachers offer private music lessons for almost every instrument under the sun. What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience? The first job I ever had was working in my dad’s music store when I was in high school. The biggest lesson I learned was if you work for your parents, do a good job or you’ll get punished at both work and home. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? Music was a huge part of my childhood. It helped me develop both academically and socially in ways I’m just beginning to understand. Now that I have school-aged children, I want to make sure my kids have the same opportunity to fall in love with music, despite recent budget cuts. That’s why we take five percent of all the profits we make from our rental program and plow that money directly back into local schools. Also, I play regularly in the band at my church: Bridgeway Christian Church. Why is your staff the best in the business? My wife is my only employee—she’s the best because she works for free. What’s your biggest job perk? Access to a drum set! I’m a guitar and bass player, but I’ve been a wannabe drummer for about a decade. Now I have a place where I can bang on the drums without anyone hearing how terrible I am.

w a n te d to n a m e h i m Speedo, because he is small and inappropriate. The kids wanted to call him Cornelius. As fans of the democratic process, we compromised, and so his tags read “Speedo Cornelius.” But really we just call him Corny, a black chihuahua tinier than a loaf of bread. He’s a dog we never intended to have, but now we can’t imagine life without him. Isn’t that the way with dogs? There was a bit of a void af ter our Labrador died . Diamond was a big, beautiful girl, full of affection and loyalty and although we missed her, we thought we were fine being down to one dog, a sweet dachshund mix named Bella. With two boys in high school and all that craziness, one dog, we assumed, would be enough. So I’m not sure why we stopped by the Placer SPCA in Auburn one Saturday after a hike in the canyon. Nothing else to do, I suppose. I remember saying, “Let’s just see what they have.” Well, what they had was Corny. In fact, he was the only dog there that day, out of a cage and being kept in a large back room. They told us he was older, about 10. For whatever reason, his previous ow n e r s h a d d ro p p e d him off weeks before. When we entered, he didn’t do any of the things a stereotypical chihuahua does: bark, growl, pee all over. Instead, he bolted FOR MORE TOM’S TAKES AND... across the floor with WHAT’S COMING an energy that belied NEXT MONTH? his years and leaped like a DON’T MISS STYLE’S puppy straight into the arms “WINE: 50+ THINGS of our 15-year-old, licking YOU SHOULD KNOW,” him like an old friend or, PLUS MUCH MORE, more accurately, like he was VISIT STYLERGBR.COM covered in bacon grease. That was it. The little twerp has been with us ever since. Corny can be as calm as a clam or as skittish as a squirrel, and is prone to anticipatory wheezing fits whenever 66 stylergbr.com - August 2015

high alert, all chest and chin, ears perked like two sails full of wind. The second look is far more fitting for his size: wide-eyed, ears pinned back, a little scrunched down—like he’s about to be crushed by a plunging meteor only he can see. Then again, when much of your navigational life is spent dodging feet and tires, you’d be a little jumpy too. Thankfully, unlike many small dogs, he’s rarely yappy— with one exception. Any dog below the knees? Corny’s chill with. He’s happy to touch noses, sniff butts, do all the stuff dogs do to say hello. But any dog bigger than that? He loses his mind, calling them out with a non-stop bark barrage that I’m sure is 70-percent dog expletives—but, only as long as he’s on his leash. He’s like the guy who’s only brave enough to talk tough as long as his friends are holding him back. Usually the big dogs just give him a disinterested glance, but if they do woof back, Corny instantly goes from belligerent soccer hooligan to imminent meteor victim. His dignity is a fluid thing. And not to sound, er, corny, but there is another aspect to his personality: love. Empty laps are intolerable. Bellies were made for scratching. And he can’t just sleep next to you—he has to sleep against you. Any attempt to change that, and he’ll give you a third look involving large, saucer eyes and a sad, worried expression that seems to question your very commitment to the relationship. So, even if your arm is falling asleep, the dynamic is rarely changed. I will never know why his previous owners gave him up. Nor will I ever know why exactly we stopped by the shelter that day. All I know is we’re happy about both. And isn’t it that way with dogs?
