Q&A Q: What advice would you give to your younger self? A: Trust yourself. When your heart tells you something, believe it. Selfdoubt is a waste of time and very detrimental to your own progress. I would tell young Darlene that she has been, and always will be, the best person to determine what is best for her. Q: What’s your biggest pet peeve? A: Insensitivity to any living thing: people, animals, trees, etc. I don’t understand how people can blithely hurt anyone else. Q: Best words of wisdom you’ve received? A: This too shall pass.

ucates children about disabilities. She also helped create the career development program at Society for the Blind in Sacramento, in order to provide people who have disabilities with the skills needed to secure jobs. Unfortunately, many employers remain reluctant to hire people with disabilities, due to concerns about being unable to accommodate their needs. To that end, O’Brien founded Blind Ambition, which trains employers and co-workers about the etiquette desired when working with disabled employees. What’s more, O’Brien is also a popular motivational speaker. Her message is simple: People with disabilities want to be treated like everyone else. “We are all ordinary folks,” O’Brien says. “The biggest limitation we face is what other people think of us.” — Amber Foster

arlene O’Brien lost her sight when she was just 35 years old. Born with a rare genetic disorder causing weak retinas, she endured 12 unsuccessful surgical attempts to repair the problem. As a result, O’Brien had to re-learn basic, daily life skills—cooking, cleaning and taking care of her two children—as a blind person. Perseverance paid off and she ultimately learned again to do basically everything sighted people can. The toughest challenge, however, was the change in the way people treated her. Servers in restaurants would ask O’Brien’s sighted companions what she needed; other people would ignore her entirely. “Inside, I was the same Darlene O’Brien I always had been,” she explains. “It was how people perceived me that changed.” O’Brien soon got involved in A Touch of Understanding, a nonprofit that ed-

season’s eatings

PlacerGROWN and Foothill Farmers’ Market

What’s in Season: Cherries

hether your taste buds favor the pucker-up burst of something tart or a sudden pop of sweetness, cherries deliver. While both varieties are king in Michigan, home of the National Cherry Festival and the world’s largest cherry pie, California is also known for producing the sweet variety of this luscious fruit.

SELECTION AND STORAGE Cherries don’t have an especially long growing season, but when they are available look for ones with bright green stems. For a perfect snack, eat them at room temperature where they’ll stay fresh for two days; if divided into small bags and refrigerated or frozen, they can last longer (up to two weeks in the refrigerator; up to one year in the freezer). FOR THE RECIPE TO MAKE CHERRY CROSTATA AND HONEY YOGURT, VISIT STYLERGBR.COM. — Susan Belknap For details on where to buy Placer County farm-fresh produce, wine, meat and local products, visit placergrown.org. 14 stylergbr.com - June 2015

muscles from your hips to your shoulders—basically the trunk of your body. Strengthening your core has a tremendous impact on the overall health and alignment of your body. A strong core is the basis for your body functioning properly. When you’re properly aligned, you drastically decrease your chance of injury. It also alleviates and prevents back injury and offsets the aging process by assisting you in maintaining proper posture. Having a strong, healthy spine will also increase the efficiency of your body sending messages to your brain. You will also look better, by standing taller, and obtain a flatter waistline by strengthening the four layers of your abdominal wall. —Sandra Lemos, Owner The Dailey Method Locations in Roseville, Folsom and Downtown Sacramento 916-783-8367, thedaileymethod.com

DID YOU KNOW? Cherries can successfully be paired with a number of flavors, including sage, chives, verbena and black pepper (when cooked with pork, beef or game). Adding 1/4 teaspoon of pure almond extract to a cherry mixture brings out the fruit’s flavor, as do dairy products like sweet cream ricotta cheese and mascarpone. For those who enjoy a dessert that’s not too sweet, try Cherry Crostata and Honey Yogurt (for the recipe, visit stylrgbr.com), a delicious treat that features a mixture of cherries, sugar and a dash of kirsch, with crème fraiche and honey on top, all cooked in a crispy crust. Tart cherries are a natural source of melatonin, which lowers body temperature and promotes a better night’s rest. Sweet cherries boast a good amount of potassium, which experts say can balance the fluid in our bodies and help to offset the effects of sodium, including high blood pressure. Eating one cup of cherries provides nearly the same amount of potassium as a small banana. Some research also indicates that eating two cups of cherries a day, either tart or sweet, can lower uric acid and diminish swelling, inflammation and tenderness.

Guy’s for Lunch

t was a muggy Wednesday and I had the middle-of-the-week blues, so I rounded up a friend to grab some lunch and soothe the hanger pangs at Guy’s For Lunch. Just walking in made us both feel like we’d stumbled into the dining room of a favorite aunt and uncle. We were greeted by the welcoming staff behind the counter and by the similarly welcoming aroma of pulled pork and fresh-baked bread. At my stomach’s urging, I took a chance on the Chicken Salad Sandwich and Potato Salad. While waiting for our food, we happily watched Guy, the owner himself, bring meals out to each and every customer, striking up conversations and reaffirming the relaxed atmosphere I noticed upon entering. It was no different when he walked up to deliver my sandwich—I felt like I’d known him for years. It was heaven at first bite; the creamy-crunchy texture and tender pieces of chicken between two slices of satisfyingly soft Dutch crunch bread brought a smile to my taste buds. The classic potato salad gave off a similar sensation of home-cooked comfort food, and I fell in love with every spoonful. Just beware of the chocolate chip cookies: It only takes one to get hooked!

A Walk Down Memory Lane with the Maileys

by Emma Mailey

time on the sled hill when I couldn’t stop and almost slid into an open storm drain”...“That time Mom and I followed a gal into a shady New York warehouse to look at designer purses”...“That time in San Francisco when a hobo wanted to fight Dad.” Clearly, my glasses are of a slightly different shade. Last Labor Day weekend we took a trip to the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. My dad had planned the entire thing around this majestic fireworks show that would happen the last night across the lake from us in South Shore. “It’ll be great,” he said. “No crowds…just the lake, the fireworks and us!” It was late summer, so the mountain air was already cooling at night, but we’d forgotten that. In T-shirts and shorts we

trudged down to the beach, ready to “ooo” and “ahh” at all the bombs that would soon be bursting in the air. Cold, cold air. Soon my teeth were chattering loud enough to wake the nearby bears. One brother clutched his camera for whatever warmth it could provide. My other brother folded himself inside a thin sweatshirt, not moving, possibly dead. But all that was forgotten when suddenly we heard a faint “POP” and there, on the lake’s far shore, was the tiniest firework we’d ever seen, followed by several more just as tiny—their delayed reports as loud as a mouthful of Pop Rocks. Yep. Dad had failed to account for the fact that a fireworks display just isn’t going to have the same kind of majesty from 20 miles away. The cold returned, we resuscitated my brother and returned to our room to thaw. And that was it. It’s also one of my new “Top Five Favorite Memories.” After my turn, he always gets slightly flustered and asks if I have any good memories. I tell him no, he’ll shake his head, and the game abruptly comes to an end. The truth is, of course I have “good” memories with my family, but they don’t quite capture our essence as much as the other ones.

ometimes you’re with your family and you have a nice time. You build snowmen , roast marshmallows, swap stories and share a laugh by a cozy fire while the snow falls outside, Hallmark style. Other times, you crash a sled into a storm grate or nearly vanish looking for bargain purses. Most of the memories I share with my family are a cold, hard, occasionally uncomfortable blend of the two. When my dad first asked me to write this, he wanted something about a favorite summer vacation and time spent together as a family f ro m o n e of th e kid s ’ points of view. You have to understand, in our family, Dad, more than anyone else, is famous for his rose-colored nostalgia, so much so that I sometimes wonder what my early childhood was really like. For example: He’ll remember taking a five-year-old me fishing on the shores of a beautiful mountain lake. I remember that day too, but I’ll also remember we were nearly bitten to death by swarms of flies as big as blackbirds. A game called “Top Five Favorite M e mories” is on e h e likes to play whenever he has us trapped on a long car ride to somewhere/anywhere. My brother, Joe, usually gives eight, and they ’re usually all pleasant, highly detailed recollections of events that took place when he was an infant...to which I usually argue something like, “You were literally two months old when that happened—you don’t remember that,” and he responds with something like, “Shut up, idiot.” The youngest, Sam, excuses himself from the game by calmly stating that it’s “stupid.” And then it’s my turn, and I let fly my favorites. “That

hristian Youth Theater (CYT) Sacramento, holds classes in Roseville and Rocklin, and is an after-school theater arts training program for students ages 5-18. The local chapter started in the Sacramento area in 2012; the national group— which is currently the largest youth theater organization in the country—began in 1981 in San Diego. Their mission is to develop character in children and adults through training in the arts and by producing wholesome family entertainment. David Enns, managing director and local co-founder, says: “We are here to

CYT Tour Group

serve each other and our community.” The non-profit educational group is not affiliated with a church body, and people of all faiths, or those not affiliated with any faith, are welcome. As Wendy Hoover, artistic director and local co-founder, explains: “We are Christians doing theater; we’re not doing ‘Christian’ theater.” The organization’s repertoire offers guaranteed crowd-pleasers such as Annie, The Wizard of Oz and Disney classics like The Little Mermaid. “We bring wholesome, family entertainment that delights everyone—from Grandma to little kids,” Hoover says. CYT attracts kids from all over the region, including El Dorado Hills and Lincoln. “The talent pool in our area is really impressive,” Enns explains. “It’s fantastic seeing how theater impacts both the kids and the adults.” Along with the education and entertainment aspect, CYT also gives back to the local com-

munity by partnering with another nonprofit for each show. What would make kids (ages 5-18) happier than a summer day camp that lets them sing, dance and act their way around the world? This summer, CYT offers two weekly sessions of “Camp All Aboard” at Valley Springs Church in Roseville; and, for the older kids (ages 12-18), an ’80s-themed “Camp Awesome.” Both are set to take place July 2731 and August 3-7. When the first summer session was offered, 60 kids participated. Fast-forward to 2015 when well over 200 kids will enjoy taking part in drama, voice, dance, specialty workshops and games. It all culminates in a performance for friends and family at the week’s end. Along with summer camps, CYT offers a regular program of presenting three highquality productions each year. “People think they’re coming to see a kids’ play,” Enns ex-

plains, “[but] they leave the theater after having a professional theatrical experience.” CYT has more than a dozen talented theater arts teachers who are highly skilled and great role models. “These mentors are passionate about their craft and the kids,” Hoover says, “and that enthusiasm really rubs off on the kids.” Having a child involved in any of the theater programs brings a myriad of life experiences and helps them build skills such as public speaking and increased confidence. The emphasis is on making sure everyone understands that their role in the production—whether the director, an actor or costumer—is valuable. “We are building a community,” Enns says. ”

what a pain Understanding Migraines by Kristen Castillo

une is National Migraine Awareness Month, bringing attention to a condition the World Health Organization lists as one of the 20 most disabling illnesses on earth— one that affects 36 million Americans.

What is a migraine? “[A] migraine is one of the most common types of headaches,” says Dr. Asad Chaudhary, MD, neurologist with Mercy Medical Group. “It occurs three times more commonly in females than men,” and lasts between 4-72 hours. It has at least two of the following symptoms: “Pain on one side of the head, throbbing sensation, moderate to severe intensity, nausea/vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound and pain [that] worsens with routine physical activity,” says Nancy J. Coombes, RN, BSN, neurology/ neurosurgery manager at Kaiser Permanente, Sacramento and Roseville Medical Centers. While they typically don’t occur every day, migraines tend to be recurrent over time.

“Migraines often have certain triggers that set them off, such as eating or drinking a specific item, weather or altitude change, lack of sleep, stress or exhaustion,” says Dr. Amer Khan, MD, pediatric neurologist and sleep specialist with Sutter Medical Group. “Hormonal changes, puberty, pregnancy and menopause are often implicated in women.” Other triggers can include exercise and caffeine overuse. Coombes cites processed meats, ripened cheeses, avocado, breads made with yeast and chocolate as possible food triggers; eliminating these foods one by one may help determine which, if any, are triggers.

Explaining the Aura Before migraines start, during the “prodrome” stage, many patients may experience moodiness, fatigue and changes in taste or smell. Some patients experience symptoms that are similar to strokes, such as difficulty speaking, weakness or numbness, an upset stomach or a feeling of a heavy head or confusion. Others see flashing lights and have tunnel vision. “These symptoms are often considered to be ‘an aura’ of the migraine and can occur just before or after head pain appears, and only last a short time,” Dr. Khan says.

Treatment Headache expert Dr. Marc Lenaerts, MD, FAHS, and associate professor of clinical neurology at UC Davis, says there are four pillars of migraine treatment: proper lifestyle, abortive therapy,

rescue therapy, and prophylactic therapy. He says migraine sufferers need regular sleep, regular physical activity, avoidance of weight excess, stress management and avoidance of food triggers. Abortive therapy refers to medications that can be taken up to two days per week to relieve symptoms. “Triptans are the mainstay of such treatment and specific for migraines and may reduce the pain, nausea and vomiting, and sensitivity to light and noise,” he says, explaining patients can also take “any medication that reduces inflammation or pain in a less specific way” such as Ibuprofen. “Combination medications like Excedrin, Fioricet and Fiorinal can also be used,” says Dr. Chaudhary, cautioning patients not to use abortive medications more that 8-10 days per month “to avoid development of medication-overuse headaches.” If abortive treatment doesn’t work, rescue therapy, or the use of a stronger painkiller such as opioids or IV treatment, may be used once a month or so, according to Dr. Lenaerts. Prophylactic therapy, which is typically done for a few months until the patient has one or fewer weekly migraines, includes taking medications daily to reduce the frequency of symptoms. “Multiple Botox injections in the scalp have also been found to be effective,” says Dr. Khan, noting, “Anti-anxiety medicines are sometimes used to help with the severe distress caused by the pain, and may help the person ‘sleep the headache off.’”

5 Wrong Ways to Raise a Leader by Janet Scherr

ise words like “Follow the Golden Rule” or “Practice what you preach” have been passed down from generation to generation. We heard these sayings from our parents, who heard them from their parents, who heard them…well you know how it goes. Ancient wisdom aside, parenting is more stressful today than ever. We asked two local professionals to weigh in on the mistakes parents sometimes make that could keep children from becoming leaders when they grow up.

1 / Allowing technology to interfere with healthy social interactions. “Oftentimes the whole family spends nights with their eyes glued to their devices, so parents are modeling a social disconnectedness to their children,” says Christopher Taylor, a licensed marriage and family therapist (MFT) in Folsom who counsels clients with parenting challenges. “Parents should be encouraged to set ‘no technology’ zones and times, because it’s important for children to develop strong interpersonal skills. Leadership involves having a high level of aptitude in relationship-building and communicating with others.”

2 / Defining a child’s interest without first exploring what the child identifies as their interest. It’s common to see parents push an activity that is not the child’s choice, such as when a father insists his son be a football player, yet the boy is interested in art. Taylor urges parents to patiently explore their children’s ideas and strengths. “The better approach for parents is to walk their kids through the steps necessary to reach success in their own area of interest,” he advises. “This can help children develop strategic planning skills at a young age and learn to take responsibility for their choices.”

3 / Failing to teach kids how to handle their feelings. Children should

4 / Empathy vs. entitlement. Another challenge that today’s parents face, according to Dr. Brunner, is developing a child’s sense of compassion while avoiding an attitude of expecting special treatment or status without earning it. Effective parenting practices such as listening, nurturing and noticing good behavior can prime the child’s developing personality to feel empathy over entitlement.

5 / Do as I say, not as I do. Case in point: Parents who text while driving with kids in the car. Remember, the kids are watching you and will ultimately copy your behavior. Teach your children by word and example that when you drive, you drive—no talking 32 stylergbr.com - June 2015

on the phone, no texting, and no checking email or social media statuses. This is a parenting rule that will help them grow into leaders by saving their lives, as well as help them to garner respect from their peers when they do what they say.

develop the ability to deal with feelings that may be uncomfortable or unpleasant, says Patricia Brunner, Ph.D., a psychologist in Roseville who specializes in child therapy (she also works with teens and adults). “While we are striving to raise kids’ self-esteem, there are missed opportunities to help them learn to cope with the bad stuff—stress, disappointment, sadness, worry and just plain old bad things that happen,” cautions Dr. Brunner. She suggests two approaches. “First, parents should model a healthy way to handle the negative events that happen in our own lives. Secondly, don’t rescue kids too quickly—being cut from a team, getting a bad grade, etc.—instead, help them identify their feelings and move through them with actions toward better coping next time.”

enabling people to enjoy a bike ride and get away from the situation they’re in,” Holiday explains. “Cycles 4 Hope has provided an opportunity to serve people in need and share my faith in Jesus Christ. I have always e n j oye d r i d i n g a n d working on bicycles and love to serve people.” Holiday says that in the past seven years, he and his fellow volunteers have serviced thousands of bikes during weekly “Wrench Nights.” Every Wednesday and Thursday from 6-9 p.m., volunteers gather at the Cycles 4 Hope shop on Auburn Folsom Road in Granite Bay to transform discarded bikes into life-changing vehicles. Although basic repair experience is helpful, individuals of every skill level are encouraged to attend. Once a month, Holiday and his team make a trip downtown (tools and renewed bikes in tow) to offer free repair services and raffle off both new and refurbished bikes. “Our mission is to give hope to the less fortunate i n o u r c o m m u n i t y,” explains Phillip Kwong, an armature mechanic

and Cycles 4 Hope volunteer. “The hope is in them as individuals that someone cares and is willing to take care of a specific need that they may have. We have done this over the years by helping maintain, for many of them, their primary mode of transportation.” According to Kwong, some of their patrons line up as many as three hours in advance on Ahern Street near Loaves and Fishes in Sacramento for assistance. “One gentleman I talked with rides to Woodland on a regular basis,” he says. “Another uses their bike to go to rehab and [substance abuse] meetings.” In the years to come, Holiday and Kwong both hope to see more people dedicate their spare time, talents and funds to combat homelessness. “I’m a born tinkerer and a handyman,” Kwong shares. “Sure, we can use this skill for our own edification and that of our friends [and] family, but that is the extent. God gave us excess time [and] capability to benefit our fellow man. Cycles 4 Hope offers an outlet that such skills can be utilized as a gift to the community. The impact goes beyond my own personal network.”

n 2013, a countywide report prepared by Sacramento Steps Forward (SSF)— an organization committed to helping the homeless obtain housing and economic stability—found more than 2,500 people living in emergency shelters, transitional housing, and places not meant for human habitation. Of that number, 432 were chronically homeless, 504 were victims of domestic violence, and nearly 1,000 were chronic substance abusers. Although sobering, SSF’s findings reflected a positive change. In 2013, total homelessness actually decreased by 9.4 percent compared to 2009. For years, Shawn Holiday has dedicated himself to being part of that positive change. In June of 2008, Holiday spent a day among homeless men, women and children in downtown Sacramento and found himself overwhelmed by the harsh conditions they faced on a daily basis. The following month, he founded Cycles 4 Hope, a non-profit organization that helps homeless and low-income residents throughout the greater Sacramento area regain independence through donations of recycled and refurbished bicycles. “Our bikes provide hope and joy by

4 / BLINDS AND SHUTTERS

6 Energy-Efficient Window Treatments by Kerrie L. Kelly, ASID

esides contributing to the design and coziness of a room, window treatments—whether drapes and blinds or shutters and shades—help block sunlight from heating up the house on hot days and keep warm or cool air from escaping through leaky windows. Some materials do a better job than others. Here are six ecochic treatments that may work for you.

By definition, drapes are pleated panels that hang from hooks and attach to small slides on the rod. When it comes to choosing to drape, a layered look delivers the most options for light control and energy efficiency. According to energy.gov, should you choose to line a medium-toned drapery with a white plastic backing, you could save up to 33 percent on heat gain in the summer and 10 percent on heat loss in the winter.

1 / CURTAINS Curtains consist of panels of fabric that are gathered on a rod attached by tabs, ties or rings. Eco-friendly fabrics such as organic cotton and hemp are available in a growing number of colors and patterns for custom window treatments. Our current quick and organic curtain solution is to buy readymade linen drapery, as it’s grown without pesticides for flax.

2 / DRAPES These are a mainstay of window treatments.

3 / SHADES Shades are one of the most practical and hard-working window treatments; they offer easy light control, instant privacy and a clean, tailored silhouette in a wide range of colors and materials. Options include simple roller shades, insulated honeycomb shades, woven shades, wooden shades and soft fabric shades like Roman and balloon styles. Naturally woven shades made of bamboo, reeds and grasses have a handmade feel and an organic texture. For the most efficiency,

5 / VALANCES These top treatments provide the crowning glory for a window. Valances are generally shortened versions of curtains, drapes or fabric shades, 12-18 inches long. Used alone, they bring style to an otherwise plain window. Place over another treatment and they can seal the heading and add a flourish. The extra layer sitting atop the face of the window will capture any cool air that may seep in.

6 / CORNICES Because their edges are so clearly delineated, cornices add architectural interest. Like valances, they can be used alone or paired with other window treatments. When covered in batting and fabric, cornices soften the overall look of the window and absorb extra heat and chill. Wood cornices can mimic the look of deep crown molding and should coordinate with the other woodwork and trim in the room. Here again you will want to use FSC-certified woods and low-or no-VOC stains and paints to finish the wood.    What will you choose for your home’s window treatments to be both beautiful and energy-efficient? Send your photos to info@ stylemg.com.

Blinds and shutters have adjustable louvers and veins that can be tilted to filter the light, leveled to reveal the view or shifted to completely block the view. Blinds can be used solo, or—for a layered look and extra insulation—under top treatments made of fabric. These types of coverings are reported to reduce heat gain by up to 45 percent; just be sure to look for shutters made of FSC-certified hardwood and finish them with low-or-no VOC stains and sealants. Also, avoid plastic shutters and blinds, as well as polyester fabrics that won’t biodegrade.

Roseville Public Library’s Summer Reading program (incorporating Maidu, Riley and Downtown Roseville Libraries) kicks off June 6 and runs through August 17; activities include Minecraft and Star Wars crafts, story times, sleepovers and more (roseville.ca.us/summerreading). The Rocklin Library’s Summer Reading program, “Read to the Rhythm!,” commences June 6 with a Party Palooza Kick-off party featuring face painting, music and more (rocklinfriends.org).

3/Crisco This makes a tidy everlasting candle! Poke four small holes in the center of a can of Crisco, cut four small strips off a cotton shirt for your wick, coat them in Crisco, poke them in the holes, and voila.

6/Gallon Water Container #2 Point a flashlight directly at a full (thawed) container of water for a terrific mega-lantern. 7/Gallon Water Container #3 Cut the empty container in half and use the handled end as a handy scoop. (Perfect for putting sand on the campfire when you’re leaving.)

“Hurricane,” MisterWives “Style,” Taylor Swift “Doing It,” Charlie XCX “In Love With Fire,” London Richards “Take U There,” Missy Elliot remix “Colors,” Genevieve “Bad Believer,” St. Vincent “Stitches,” Shawn Mendes

8/Belt Loop it around a tree, and attach a couple of S-hooks (or you can fashion a couple out of wire or coat hangers); use this rig for hanging pots and pans. 9/Instant Coffee Avert your eyes, coffee purists. Instant coffee will save you some time in the morning, and if you grab some of the small pre-packaged tubes (like Starbucks’ VIAs) they won’t take up any room at all…and you’ll still get your morning buzz. 10/Pantyhose Wear them under your pants to help prevent hypothermia, or as a barrier for ticks.

ROSEVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY’S SUMMER READING PROGRAM

2/Doritos They can double as kindling. According to the Internet and a number of YouTube videos, you can start a fire with Doritos if you don’t have kindling. Is it great or disturbing that they’re also edible?

10 Camping Recipes

WAYS A T E G PING & M A C , S CAMP

Bring a can of crescent roll dough, wrap the dough around a stick and put it over the campfire or better still, wrap that dough around a hot dog on a stick for a “crescent dog.” Take a can of cinnamon roll dough, put rolls in hollowed out oranges, cook over the coals and then put them right in your face. Grab a can of biscuit dough, cut a hole in the middle

CAMP ROCKLIN

Summer Camps for All Represent your district at Roseville’s Maidu Library this July with a Hunger Games Camp, featuring physical activities, brain teasers and puzzles to see who can survive Panem (ages 11-14; starts July 6); get your jazz hands and legwarmers ready for Broadway Bound Camp at the Maidu Community Center (ages 6-11; starts July 20); or let your kids get their Chuck Norris on at the Taekwondo Ninja Camp (ages 9-13; starts June 15) (roseville.ca.us/parks/ programs_n_classes/activity_guides/ default.asp). Camp Rocklin (grades 1-6) includes sports, arts and crafts, water play, weekly field trips and more; the City of Rocklin’s Sports Camp (ages 2-6) is designed to give participants the basics of various sports, with instruction, drills, games and a high fun factor (rocklin. ca.us/depts/parksnrec).

2/Explore beautiful underground caverns at the Black Chasm Cavern in Volcano, a national natural landmark (caverntours.com/blackrt.htm). 3/Visit one of the best-maintained gold mines in the area and check out the working stamp mill at the Kentucky Mine Museum, near Sierra City off Highway 49. Check out the working stamp mill (sierracountyhistory.org/ kentucky-mine-historic-park-andmuseum)! 4/ Celebrate the history and continuing role railroads play today in moving passengers and freight in the Placer County region at Colfax Railroad Days. Admission is free; this year’s event runs September 12-13 (colfaxrailroaddays.org).

5 Staycation Ideas

Get lost in your own backyard… 1/A wonderful place for families is the Cameron Park Rotary Community Observatory in Placerville (open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30-10:30 p.m.). Bring the kids for an unforgettable evening with the night sky (communityobservatory.com)!

COLFAX RAILROAD DAYS

5/Take a day trip to the Bay Area and visit Muir Woods—see trees as old as the state of California in nature’s very own cathedral, located in Golden Gate National Park. Everyone needs to hug a redwood tree at least once in their life.

of the biscuit, dust with cinnamon and powdered sugar and fry in a skillet; voila, campfire donuts! If you’re above “cans of dough” or you don’t understand what a “can of dough” even is, try fancy glamping fondue: grab a wheel of your favorite brie or camembert, poke holes in it, pour brandy over the top, wrap in foil and stick in the coals until you have drunken melty cheese. Instead of a marshmallow, you can try roasting Starburst on a stick (warning: molten!); or just stick with marshmallows. Let’s not reinvent the wheel here, people. However, “campfire cones” are the best thing ever: Fill a sugar cone with chocolate pieces, marshmallows, whatever you want, wrap in foil and cook until deliciously melty and then top with whipped cream. I guess you could put Starburst in there, too? Not so much a recipe as a neat breakfast party trick, try campfire bacon, aka artfully weaving bacon onto toasting forks and frying over the campfire. The Venn diagrams of “Camping Food and College Dorm Food” intersect at omelet in a bag: Dump all of your omelet ingredients into a Ziploc bag, put it in a pot of simmering water, and then question your life choices. Or ditch the bag omelet and eat a campfire apple filled with Nutella with a big old smile on your face. Yes, it’s a thing…a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Monsoon Cuisine of India

Mango Lassi

Far left: Mixed Grill Sampler

Lamb Rogan Josh

A Whirlwind of Flavor by Jennifer Resnicke Photography by Dante Fontana

I’m a sucker for biryani, so I opted for the chicken variety, which featured basmati rice with hearty chunks of chicken and aromatic spices like cardamom and cinnamon.

52 stylergbr.com - June 2015

hat was Sacramento’s loss has become Roseville’s gain—Monsoon Cuisine of India recently relocated to its new home on Douglas Boulevard, bringing along all of their panache and luscious Indian fare. On my visit, they had only been open a couple of weeks and were eager to show off. The lavish orange walls—graced with colorful abstract canvases and several other sparing black and silver touches—give the eatery a contemporary feel while still nodding to its exotic roots. As my husband and I settled in and checked out the extensive menu, I realized just how gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly Indian food is. In fact, the majority of the offerings had either a “GF” or “V” designation next to them. Before long, the Mixed Grill Sampler arrived with an array of chicken and lamb cooked with a variety of spice blends, each creating a whirlwind of delicious flavors in my mouth. I’m a sucker for biryani, so I opted for the chicken variety, which

featured basmati rice with hearty chunks of chicken and aromatic spices like cardamom and cinnamon. I loved that they used whole spices—not only helping to infuse an incredible amount of flavor but lending the dish a traditional homemade flair, too. My husband ordered the Lamb Rogan Josh (a famous dish from Kashmir), which boasted supple bites of tender lamb in an incredibly complex sauce spiced with cardamom, anise seed and paprika. We’re not normally big lamb eaters, but my husband went so far as to say: “This is the only acceptable way to eat lamb.” Suffice to say, he really liked it. We couldn’t help but order garlic naan, and I wasn’t disappointed when a big basket of the chewy-crispy bread came by. At this point we were running out of room on the table, thanks to all of the flavor-packed foods occupying it. Despite the tight space, I was happy I ordered the mango lassi, a thick dessert-like drink made with the sweet fruit and creamy yogurt. It’s basically an excuse to have dessert before dinner, and it’s an excuse I’m likely to make again.

dinner date Food and Wine for the Season to the grill. Cook everything for 3-4 minutes, until it is golden brown on the bottom. Flip over the squash, zucchini, and onion and cook them for another 3-4 minutes, until they are golden brown on the bottom and just tender. Remove everything to a cutting board. As soon as it’s cool enough to handle, cut the squash and zucchini into bite-size pieces. Chop the onion. Peel the charred skin from the bell pepper. Core, seed, and cut it into 1-by-1/4-inch strips. In a large bowl, combine the squash, zucchini, onion, bell pepper, garlic, tarragon, 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and the reserved marinade. Toss it all well to mix. Taste for salt and add more if necessary. Transfer the mixture to a shallow serving bowl and top it with the Parmesan before serving. Serves 6.

SESAME-GINGER MARINADE FLAVORIZE by Ray “Dr. BBQ” Lampe; photographs by Angie Mosier (Chronicle Books, 2015, $22.95) • 2 medium yellow squash • 2 medium zucchini • Sesame-Ginger Marinade (recipe follows) • 1 large red bell pepper • 2 thick slices red onion • 3 garlic cloves, crushed • 1 tbsp. minced fresh tarragon • Morton’s Kosher Salt • 1 tsp. black pepper • 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese Split the squash and zucchini lengthwise and place them in a large heavy-duty ziptop bag. Add three-fourths of the marinade and seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Move the veggies around within the bag so they are well coated with the marinade. Refrigerate them for at least 2 hours, and up to 8, occasionally moving the veggies around within the bag to make sure they remain well coated. Prepare an outdoor grill to cook direct over medium-high heat. Grill the bell pepper until charred on all sides. Place in a small paper bag and set it aside to rest. Take the squash and zucchini from the marinade and place them on the grill cut-side down. Reserve the marinade. Add the slices of onion 54 stylergbr.com - June 2015

CALIFORNIA CHIC STAGING + DESIGN Roseville 916-872-4600 californiachicdesign.com

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? I provide in-home pet sitting for people going out of town. It’s the opposite of boarding—I not only take care of the animals, but also provide security by staying in the home, getting the mail and watering plants. Besides the overnight aspect of my business, I also cater to people looking for someone to come by and walk/run their dog/s or just simply “check in” to the house. I guess you could say the business found me. It started out by watching my friends’ and family’s pets, and then I realized I might be able to turn it into something more. Why is your staff the best in the business? I can always guarantee the best care for your animals, because I am the staff. Most of all, I love pets and that is the number one reason I started this business. When I watch someone’s pets, they are given one-on-one attention—from the moment I walk in the door until the time I leave. Regular walks are part of my overnight pet sitting, and open communication with my clients is important—I want them to feel comfortable with emailing/texting me while they’re gone. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? Becoming a whitewater rafting guide at the age of 16. I was proud of completing the training with most people being twice my age. I learned a lot about trust, teamwork, communication and responsibility. Being a leader in situations where I was taking inner city kids down the river was both challenging and fun. In those few weeks, I grew both mentally and physically. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? Joe Caribe is definitely a favorite—their shrimp tacos are great! And finally, customer service is…? Extremely important. I want my customers to be able to trust me when they leave their home and pets in my hands. I provide excellent references and look forward to expanding my business and making more customers happy.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? California CHIC is a home staging and interior design company serving Placer County. We have a fresh look on design and offer a wide range of services. The business found us. With a background in interior design, years of experience in real estate, and countless pleas from family and friends, we decided there’s no time like the present. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? Having young children, we both are very involved in school, sports and community events, which has been a wonderful way to meet people in our community—many that have become clients. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? It’s hard not to look at our kids and think they are by far our proudest accomplishment. What’s your hidden talent? Organization, which is nice because it ties into our job. What’s your biggest job perk? Shopping, shopping and more shopping. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? Zocalo at the Fountains. Where do you and your family go locally to have fun? Laser Craze. What’s your favorite local business other than your own? Bayabelle Boutique in Lincoln. What’s your opinion of Style Magazine? We love Style Magazine. It keeps us up-to-date on what’s going on in our area. And finally, customer service is…? Everything! Knowing exactly what our clients need/want and being able to deliver above and beyond what they expected is the key to success.

— Compiled by Sharon Penny

“Each bite of the aptly named Riceless Roll at Wasabi Asia Bistro and Sushi Bar delights the senses with fresh fish (tuna, hamachi, albacore, spicy tuna, snow crab) and avocado. Tucked inside a soybean wrap and packed with the good stuff, it’s an ideal pick when you’re craving something from the sea.” wasabii.com

“The Incredible Roll at Mikuni Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar isn’t only incredible but filling and fresh. It’s a tuna lover’s delight, with three varieties of the fish, plus panko shrimp, avocado, masago, onion and sauce—all torched to perfection!” mikunisushi.com

“The tartness from the lemon, crunch from the deep-fried shrimp and creaminess from the avocado are my favorite things about the Lighthouse Roll at Blue Nami…although the scallop, albacore and half-off price tag (all day, every day) aren’t bad either!” bluenamisushi.com

“For a roll that’s larger than life and chock-full of seafood (scallop, crab salad, salmon), sauces, spice and crunch, you can’t miss the Big Toddy Roll at Ninja Sushi & Teriyaki. Warning: Weekly cravings will immediately follow.” ninjasushiroseville. com

The age of Joel Parker Whitney when he first visited Rocklin in 1852. Penniless at the time, he hunted and camped in the lower foothills, resolving to one day return and claim some of the land for himself. “One day” was a mere four years later; in 1856, the wealthy Whitney returned and purchased the 320 acres that would become Whitney Ranch.

1956

The year the 70-ton steam engine, Locomotive No. 2252 officially retired after 60 years of service in the Sierra Nevada. Manufactured in 1897 and originally one of 38, only two of its kind remain today. After retirement, 2252 resided for more than four decades at the Placer County Fairgrounds; today you can see it in its permanent display along Atlantic Street.

“When the calling for sushi comes, I always order the Sunburst Roll at Hazumi Sushi Bar. With mango, tuna, spicy salmon, shrimp tempura, cucumber, green onions, sesame seeds and sauce, it has a variety of tastes and textures that result in a party on my palate!” hazumisushi.com
