THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME FOR KEVIN SUTHERLAND

By Jeffrey Weidel

K

evin Sutherland will be comfortably sleeping in his own bed every evening, eating dinner at home if he pleases, and happily behind the wheel of his aging BMW on the short commute to work each day.

While this passes as mundane, every-day life for most people, the comforts of home will be very cool stuff for the Sacramento professional golfer, who is finally getting to experience something that’s eluded him for the past 25 years and roughly 546 golf tournaments.

When Sutherland nervously approaches the tee box for his first hole of the 2015 U.S. Senior Open, a wave of emotion will engulf his tall, lanky body as an endearing, overflow crowd cheers with great anticipation as the local boy begins his round at venerable Del Paso Country Club in Sacramento.

“I’ve never had a ‘home’ game before, so this will be very new and very different,” explains Sutherland, who grew up in Sacramento and lives in a stylish home about 10 minutes from Del Paso, where he has been a proud member for the past decade. “I think I will be nervous.

There will be pressure to play well. But it’s also going to be fun. I’m excited for me and I’m excited for Sacramento.”

This is a huge moment for both Sutherland and the Sacramento golf community. Hosting one of the four majors on the Champions Tour is not being taken lightly. The region hasn’t hosted a men’s tournament since the final year of the Gold Rush Classic when Tom Kite held off Allen Doyle for a one-stroke victory in September 2001 at Serrano Country Club.

The loss of a host sponsor ended the 15-year run of the Champions Tour in the region. It’s taken 14 years, but pro golf is back in Sacramento, where the crowds at Del Paso are expected to range between 125,000 to 140,000 for tournament week (June 22-28). The last major event hosted by Del Paso was even longer – the 1982 U.S. Women’s Open.

“I think a lot of people are going to come out and the Open is going to be a big hit for Del

Paso,” said Sutherland, who eagerly joined the Champions Tour when he became eligible at age 50 last July. “Del Paso will really show itself well.”

Among the crowd rooting for Sutherland will be his wife (Mary), son (Keaton), younger brother (David), and Bill and Janice Sutherland, his parents. His personal cheering section will also include a group of Sacramento State women golfers, who are coached by David Sutherland.

The two brothers were inseparable as teenagers, practicing and playing golf as much as possible. Like his big brother, David also played regularly on the PGA tour before an injury led to a job as the Hornets’ director of golf and women’s coach, a position he’s held since 2007.

“On the Champions Tour there are no entourages like the PGA, where you have people like your swing coach, agent, and fitness person with you all the time. The golfers all go their own way,” Sutherland said. “On the Champions Tour it’s just you and your caddy, like it used to be in the old days. There’s more comradery. On the PGA you are defending your job every week, it’s a dog-eat-dog world.”

Those “old days” were not always the friendliest environments, where roughly 150 golfers teed it up each week and were often silently rooting against each other. Sutherland doesn’t miss the grind of trying to make the cut every week – the Champions circuit rarely has a cut.

And he knows the feeling of failure, having missed the cut 136 times in 447 PGA tournaments. He won once on the tour, had 48 top-10 finishes, and earned $15.6 million.

“I really enjoy the Champions Tour, the atmosphere is so casual and relaxed,” Sutherland said. “We’ve all worked hard and grinded for a lot of years on the PGA tour to get to this point. You build a career on the PGA; the Champions Tour is gravy time.”

land at both Del Paso and Ancil Hoffman golf course, marvels at his iron play.

“I’ve played with him several times at Del Paso and it’s very cool to see him sticking everything so close to the pin,” she said. “I can see why he’s known as such a great iron player.

He’s so knowledgeable Sutherland one of the young guys and also about the game and you can ask him a question one of the longest hitters. Through four tour- about anything. He shares a lot with us.” naments this season he was ranked 12th best The usual lingering question with Sutherland off the tee (279 yards) and his usual steady each week – how well will he putt? On the pro iron play had him third on greens in regulatour, it often comes down to who is best with tion. Even his putting, sometimes an issue in the short stick that week. Speaking of sticks, the past, was much better (21st), accounting Sutherland has tried them all: short putter, for his fourth-best scoring average of 69.4. long putter, belly putter, left-hand low reverse Throughout his career, Sutherland was a guy grip, and the claw grip. who could regularly hit fairways and greens.

“Kevin is not a poor putter. You don’t make Palavivatana, who has played with Suther$15 million and keep your card for 18 years if you can’t putt,” Baucom said. “But if Kevin were a great putter he would probably have 10 PGA wins. He hits his irons so stinking well it’s crazy. And he’s one of the longest, straightest hitters on the Champions Tour.”

A more prestigious standing on the senior circuit is pleasing to Sutherland. But what’s even more enjoyable is watching the progress of Keaton, his 14-year-old son. Baucom calls the youthful Sutherland a “long hitter” already.

Father and son played numerous rounds last summer at Del Paso when Kevin says Keaton was first bit by the golf bug.

“He wants to play all the time now,” Kevin says with a laugh.

If dad is not available, Keaton is often on the course with his cousin. Matthew Sutherland, David’s son, is also 14 and enamored with the game. In a First Tee junior tournament in late March, the pair finished in a three-way tie for first place in the 14-15 age group.

Even though he’ll be residing in his own bed, Kevin Sutherland might be experiencing a few restless night’s of sleep in late June. And who could blame the guy? He’s been waiting more than a quarter of a century to finally play a “home game.”

SEASONED CHEF BRINGS WORLD-CLASS DINING TO RIVER’S EDGE

Senior Living

By Anne Stokes

E

xecutive Chef Randy Aprill’s career has taken him all over the country. From high-end resorts and hotels to the White House, Aprill’s culinary creations have graced the plates of more than a few influential diners, including a few presidential palates.

After graduating from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in 1986, Aprill went to work at a resort in Hilton Head, South Carolina, working his way up from line cook to assistant garde manger. From there, looking for a more challenging environment, especially in the off-season, Aprill set his sights on a more metropolitan city, landing a position at the historic InterContinental Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., where he eventually worked his way up to sous chef, or second in command of the hotel’s fine dining restaurant.

Working in such close proximity to the epicenter of political power in the nation’s capital brought Aprill the opportunity to work at the Blair House, which serves as the Presidential guest house, welcoming visiting heads of state, ambassadors, and other important dignitaries. From there he was encouraged to apply at the White House itself. “I immediately tried to apply and I was called for part-time,” said Aprill. “It’s kind of difficult [to keep a po-

sition] there for the simple fact that when administrations change they usually clean house and start over based on what the President wants and what they’re looking for. After the [elder] Bush’s administration, the Clintons came on and that was the end of me.”

“California is where it’s at and where it’s happening,” said Aprill. “Being up here in El Dorado Hills with some of the restaurants opening, and reading the news articles on how the chefs are so focused on sustainability and From there April went to work as an executive organic, they have a heck of a lot more to offer. chef for the president of the College of William I do believe that this is going to become a very and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. “I was well known market for chefs and great food.” there for 11 years and that was probably the It was here in Northern California that Aprill pinnacle of my career because it was a formal learned about Hank Fisher Properties, one of dining room setting with ten to twelve peothe first senior living communities established ple,” he said. “Margaret Thatcher were Henry in the Sacramento area. “I was drawn to the Kissinger were chancellors and there was a lot Hank Fisher’s [company],” he said. “It was a of money at those tables being handed over to family run organization.

“They’re a diverse group of people here and the wonderful thing that I found with country clubs and business clubs, as opposed to hotels and restaurants, is that you see these people every day. You can’t run, you can’t hide, they’re very vocal in their wants and their needs,” he added. “It’s a heck of a lot more challenging than working in a restaurant or a fast-paced environment such as a hotel because once that person is gone you rarely ever see them again. So it’s very challenging and that’s the kind of environment that I want to work in. Northern California, I have a feeling, is going to be a really big boom in the next five to ten years when it comes to senior living.

It’s beautiful here, and I’m excited about the future.”

MORE FOR YOUR MONEY

W

ith the housing market in and around Folsom, El Dorado County and Roseville heating up what’s been a seller’s market since late last year, many homeowners are considering updating their homes and putting them up for sale.

If you’re thinking of remodeling your home to increase its value and sell it, better learn which makeovers are worth the time and money and which should be avoided before you whip out your checkbook. Some remodeling projects are not only costly but might not increase the resale value of your home. Basically, a home remodel is not an investment; it’s an expense.

“You don’t get a full return on most remodeling that you do, and that includes the kitchen and the bathroom,” cautioned Steve Aasen of Aasen Construction and Remodeling in Cameron Park. “Know your market conditions,” advised Jane Layton, an agent with ReMax Gold’s real estate office in El Dorado Hills. “There are some markets where you can expect to recover the costs of a remodel and some in which you can’t.”

She warns her selling clients about overspending. “You have to navigate a fine line between what needs to be done and overdoing it and being disappointed in the end that you spent too much,” Layton said. Remodeling can be less expensive than many believe it is “but it definitely takes time and money and somebody has to manage the project. It can be a daunting task. I always recommend that sellers consult with their Realtor before they embark on a remodel project” Others advise talking first with a contractor to discuss upgrades and what they will cost.

Expensive projects are rarely worth their cost if your objective is simply to sell the house, experts say. Another red flag is being alert for projects that can run into delays. Avoid adding unconventional appliances or features, such as a built-in wine fridge or custom closets that may add personal convenience or comfort but do nothing for a prospective buyer. Instead, think about updating your kitchen by repainting or refinishing cabinets, projects that often can be done by the seller without bringing in a contractor. Replace appliances with newer models or install new countertops.

Granite countertops, once all the rage, are regarded as old-fashioned by some designers, after being the go-to material for high-end countertops for years. Some of the more popular alternatives are tempered glass, stainless steel, ceramic, even wood and an attempt by some to bring back tile. But, said Mike Heying, “I don’t think stone, Michael Heying of Michael Heying Construction in El Dorado like granite, will ever go out of style.” Points out Layton: “Granite is Hills, who has 38 years experience in room additions, remodels and a lot less expensive than it was 10 years ago.” home repairs, suggests beginning a remodel project by downsizing clutter, including “homey” touches. “Take down the majority of your Projects to avoid include room additions and major bathroom pictures, clean out your closet, minimizing the clothing so they look improvements (too expensive). Do have your roof inspected for leaks or replacement. Decorate in neutral colors, such as white or bigger,” he said. beige. Adding a family room can be a wise investment. Swimming “Make sure all the paint inside the house is nice and clean. Be sure the pools can be as much of a distraction as an attraction (expensive to home, from the curb to the back lawn, has clean, neat landscaping.” maintain, a potential danger to children). Avoid overbuilding for the Even the garage makes a difference, he added. ”No marks on the neighborhood. Imported tiles in your entryway do little to increase wall and no clutter. Just do the everyday things you should do but a home’s value. Remember: expensive projects are rarely worth it if often forget in everyday life.” your goal is simply to sell your house.

MAINTAINING HEALTH THROUGH NUTRITION to consider as you go about your seniors struggle with putting a healthy meal on the table. daily routine.

Eat less, walk more.

A

s we age, we all tend to require a few more trips to the doctor, a prescription or two, or even more intense medical intervention. Even those of us who have been historically in the best of health can now begin to experience higher blood pressure, become pre- or diabetic, or suffer from heart disease. It’s just a matter of fact, the body we have at 75 will be very different from the one we had at 55.

Though new medications and surgical techniques can treat these conditions better than ever before, your best bet is to stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible.

Here are a few recommendations

Because our metabolism naturally slows down as we age, we require fewer calories to maintain a healthy weight. Read nutrition labels to make sure you are limiting sodium and certain types of fats while choosing nutrient-dense food.

Many assets are distributed outside of the (i.e. bank accounts, life insurance and pay on death accounts), so the plan of distribution in a does not describe the total plan.

SAY YES TO YOGA!

are safe and appropriate because the instructor will explain modifications to the poses to suit each and every person. It can also be great fun to be in a class with energetic, like-minded individuals. I know that I’ll always have a good laugh in my yoga class, and I personally look forward to the sense of camaraderie I feel from seeing the same people try difficult poses each week, to differing degrees of success. Further still, I’ve learned breathing techniques that are energizing, some that are relaxing, and even breathing exercises that help manage pain. You might be surprised at how the connection of breath and conscious motion in yoga increases your energy, sense of livelihood, and the ability to maintain resilience.

Chair yoga is becoming popular among all age groups because just about anyone can do it. In chair yoga, the chair becomes an extension of your body, allowing you to enjoy all the benefits of yoga poses – including balance and flexibility challenges – that might be too difficult or risky without the added stability of a chair. And while it doesn’t require a person to move up and down from a floor mat, it can be a very active practice.

Yoga has a multitude of benefits: • Increased flexibility and range of motion / reduction in stiffness • A renewed sense of energy, strength, balance and well-being • Increased ability to do more comfortably all the things you took for granted and enjoy your life more fully.

In addition, chair yoga has been shown to reduce the symptoms of many serious health issues including hypertension, anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, vertigo, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, osteopenia, carpal tunnel syndrome, clinical depression, and chronic pain.

Chair yoga poses and instructions are widely available on the internet, but because everyone’s body is different and proper breathing and alignment are essential, the practice is best experienced in a class with an instructor certified in chair yoga. Even if you have arthritis or injuries to specific body parts, chair yoga classes

“FOLSOM” BRINGS VISUAL HISTORY TO LIFE New book illustrates city’s modern history

By Lydia McNabb

T

he City of Folsom is well known for many historic sights and landmarks, but its modern history is proven to be just as striking in a new photo compilation book called “Folsom.”

“Folsom,” written by Roberta Kludt Long and published as part of the “Images of Modern America” series, is a collection of photographs of the city’s culture, businesses, people and sights from the 1960s to present.

“I’ve been interested in history all my life, and Folsom history particularly,” said Long. “It’s got so many of the things that are interesting.”

Long, a current board member of the Folsom Historical Society, had just joined the society when Arcadia approached her in 2013 about compiling this book.

Many of the photographs featured in “Folsom” are contributed from other people or organizations, but the majority are Long’s own handiwork.

“They’re mostly my own because I have taken so many,” Long said. ”As a photographer, you just keep the camera with you, and I had kept these photos over the years.”

Every photo in the book, “Folsom,” has an extended caption explaining its story and significance.
