travel time

ou want to know what keeps my engine revved and running optimally?

It’s quite simple – planning, taking and looking forward to getaways.

Whether my destination is just a few miles out of town or requires a plane ticket, the significance is the same. I get to ESCAPE! The daily grind for most of us includes monotony – although, admittedly, things shake up when summer rolls around – that’s why having something to look forward to (like packing your suitcase) is so necessary and absolutely cathartic. Better yet, you don’t have to have Mark Zuckerberg’s wallet to have a good time when you travel. One of my most memorable trips to Maui included buying items for our breakfasts and lunches at the local grocery store. We chose to spend our money on excursions, such as driving up to Hana via an open-air jeep (one of the world’s most scenic drives), and then taking a sunset catamaran cruise the next day. It’s all about having a strategy and enjoying all that your locale (and bank account) has to offer.

Fortunately for me, traveling, eating and “pretending” to be a vacationer is included in my job description. I have been on so many press trips both domestic and international, that my carry-on luggage has become part of my bedroom décor. No need to put it away, my itching energy to depart always seems to bring new opportunities my way. I have skipped town and visited more ranches, resorts, bed & breakfasts, and everything in between these past few years than I have in all my years prior. While these perks continually please my passion for adventure, they also do something much greater – they inspire and they humble me. Like I said before, changing your zip code for a few days truly does rearrange your perspective. I call it travel therapy.

This month we have just what the doctor ordered: trips and more trips.

Whether you want to traverse surrounding cities or go big with an all-inclusive resort-style rendezvous, we have plenty to get your wheels – or propellers – spinning. First up, Sharon Penny fills the pipeline with “7 Ultimate Area Adventures” for us to enjoy our northern California backyards. From Coloma to Lodi, find a slew of what Sharon dubs “day-filling distractions.” Looking to go farther and perhaps get a few more frills for your dollar? Experience fabulosity, breath-taking scenery and celeb-worthy accommodations, with Darren Elms’ “Modern Family Travels.” If all-inclusive amenities tickle your fancy, we’ve got five of your best bets situated in spots from California to British Columbia. Waiting in line at the airport will be the only time you won’t be smiling on these vacays.

Need help packing? In this issue we share some products in Swag to make getting to your destination and enjoying it just a little easier. And even if leaving town isn’t on your docket, there are plenty of concerts, fairs and events in the Agenda for you to discover.

Until next month, keep your sunscreen lathered and find yourself somewhere you’ve never been.• — Desiree We’d love to hear from you – send us your community events (for Agenda), your favorite recipe & photo (for Reader Recipes), and any other story ideas to info@stylemg.com.

What’s next?

Photos by Dante Fontana.

Sutter Roseville Medical Center cardiologist Dr. George Fehrenbacher knows firsthand the crucial difference a few minutes can make when it comes to diagnosing a heart attack. Throughout his 30-plusyear medical career, he has strived to make response times faster and get patients the critical care they need in minimal time. Yet, that isn’t always the problem. “In the hospital, we work very hard to shave off two or three minutes here or there, but some people are waiting at home for hours while experiencing symptoms of a heart attack,” he explains.

As a result, Fehrenbacher helped found the Placer County 9-1-1 Initiative, along with the American Heart Association and Placer County Health, Fire and Emergency Medical Services. Their mission is to educate people about the symptoms of a heart attack – chest pains, jaw pain, shortness of breath, pains down the arms, and breaking out in a cold sweat – in order to get people to dial 9-1-1 sooner, rather than later. As Dr. Fehrenbacher attests, calling 9-1-1 at the first sign of a heart attack can make the difference between life and death. “I’m very proud of the whole program,” he says. “I’ve seen a lot of people’s lives saved because they got to the hos-

PARKS AND RECREATION: GET WILD

G

et wild this summer as you celebrate National Parks and Recreation Month in Roseville’s amazing array of quality parks and programs. With 65 open parks, plus more in the works, and over 5,400 acres of open space and trails, Roseville has one of the highest ratios of parks and open space per capita in the nation.

The conveniently located parks, bike trails and abundant open space help our growing community keep a smalltown feeling. Looking for a wild challenge? Why not visit a new park each week? This is quite a commitment, because it will take you more than a year!

For many of you, summertime is a season to grill and have fun with friends. If you’re looking for a place to hold a party/BBQ, Elliot, Hillsborough, Kaseburg, Mahany and Royer Parks are just a few of the many options available. All you need are groceries, utensils and friends! Are you planning a larger event? Each of these parks can be reserved, too.

Get wild exploring the many resources at your local parks, pools, bike trails and open spaces, which help create lasting memories of fun in the sun. Parks are where lifetime friendships are formed, where the gap between generations is bridged, and where people discover what they have in common. See you at the park!

Ask the Expert real questions expert guidance

Q: A:

What is “natural” breast augmentation and who are the best candidates for this procedure?

One impressive way of having “natural breast augmentation” is from our own fat! Fat transfer has been around for many years; however, recent improvements in liposuction techniques and enhanced understanding of fat and the amazing stem cells within it, have made for vastly improved results.

Additionally, the added safety of “awake” liposuction to obtain the fat has eliminated the need for general anesthesia. Some experts believe layering the fat over time can create nearly any size and symmetry a patient desires. Fat can also be used to treat scar tissue from prior breast surgery, mastectomy or radiation, with remarkable outcomes. The ideal candidate should be without significant medical problems, have no increased breast cancer risk, have had a recent normal mammogram, and have some fat to be removed.

Season’s EAtings

PlacerGROWN and Foothill Farmers’ Market WHAT’S IN SEASON NOW: Juicy, sweet plums!

Nothing says summer quite like the taste of a Placer County grown plum. This soft, smooth-skinned fruit – with its sweet flesh and flat, pointed seed – exists in a panorama of colors and varieties, including: Santa Rosa, Blackamber, Frontier and the greenskinned Kelsey.

DID YOU KNOW? Plums are often referred to as stone fruits because of the pit, or stone, that is found inside its flesh.

The term “stone fruit” was coined when hard, unripened fruit was thrown at those awaiting public execution during the Middle Ages. Plums belong to the Prunus genus of plants and are related to peaches, nectarines, apricots and cherries.

Plums can be purchased at a variety of Placer County locations; in Auburn, head to Amber Oaks Raspberries, Boorinakis Harper Ranch or Machado Orchards; in Lincoln, check out Beauty Ranch; in Newcastle, Brenner Ranch, Burgeson Family Farm or Twin Peaks Orchards; in Penryn, Colwell Thundering Herd Ranch or Willow Creek Ranch; in Loomis, Nitta Ranch; and in Granite Bay, Otow Orchard.

SELECTION AND STORAGE: The best plums are unwrinkled and free of blemishes, soft spots or discolorations. Plums that are ready to eat are those that yield to soft pressure. The fruit can range in color, from green to red or deep purple to almost black. The skin is edible with the pit discarded. If the plum seems a little hard, leave it at room temperature for a few days to soften up; however, be aware that it will not actually ripen further and develop more sugar like some fruits. Ripe plums can be refrigerated and should be washed just before eating.

ROCKLIN

PARKS AND RECREATION: the great outdoors

V

acations are challenging, especially with kids and the current economy. Thankfully, Rocklin Parks and Recreation has prepared a summer filled with fun outdoor activities to help locals explore the area we live in.

Try your hand at disc golf by heading over to Johnson-Springview Park’s very own disc golf course. While there, hike around the winding trails that follow Antelope Creek. As the trail nears Spring View Middle School, make sure to stop at the Nisenan Grinding Rocks to learn about our hometown’s native people.

We encourage families to get outside and bike this summer. Cycling to class or work will give you an added level of appreciation for the beautiful weather and scenery our area boasts.

It’s never too early to start thinking about fall: Kids Junction is Rocklin’s only before- and after-school program, and is located at all Rocklin elementary school campuses. Register early for open spots in the 2012-13 school year program.

FOODIE FIND: Baker Ben’s Donuts While driving around downtown Roseville recently, I made a pit stop at Baker Ben’s Donuts to devour a sweet snack. Open 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-ayear, this donut shop allows customers to indulge in sugary cravings at all times – a perfect place for someone with a major sweet tooth like myself.

Upon arrival, I spent a good five minutes eyeing the glass case filled with various donuts, turnovers, cinnamon rolls and other pastries…all baked daily onsite. It was a hard choice selecting what sweet treat to eat (and whether or not to order more than one). After lusting after everything – each treat looking more delicious than the last – I finally settled on a Donut with White Frosting and Sprinkles. The sweet confection had a buttery, cake-like taste, with a sweet, sugary frosting on top and an abundance of sprinkles. The donut shop itself is spacious with plenty of glass windows, letting the natural light flood in. Tables with bright yellow benches add a splash of color and a warm vibe. Seating myself on a corner bench, I devoured my decadent treat while watching the cyclists and walkers meander the tree-lined street. Baker Ben’s Donuts, 1045 Douglas Boulevard, Roseville, 916-781-2083.

THEN: Ellington at Newport 1956 (Complete) – Duke Ellington It’s one thing to know a few Duke Ellington songs – it’s another entirely to hear the man and his band in front of a crowd. The original Ellington at Newport included a combination of studio performances and dubbed crowd noise; the Complete release provides, in stereo, the actual audio from the live performance; you can hear the great man and his band rewriting their legend status on stage.

THEN: The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule Serial killer books rarely come with an element so chillingly personal. Here, author Ann Rule relates the story of her years spent volunteering alongside Ted Bundy at a crisis hotline, while never once suspecting that 36 savage murders lay beneath this innocent friendship. This is a story that puts the phrase “hiding in plain sight” into stark relief.

THEN: The Fly A monster movie on the surface, but beneath see a tragedy of all-too-human proportions.

The titular fly is no mere monster; he is, or was, a man (Jeff Goldblum). His condition is the sad result of a simple mistake. As he deteriorates, so too does his relationship with his girlfriend (Geena Davis), and it’s their bond – with all of its flaws – that draws us into their horrific, tragic world. David Cronenberg’s interpretation of the 1958 classic is at once graphic, terrifying and frighteningly real.

NOW: The Duke – Joe Jackson Eclectic singer-songwriter Joe Jackson has never picked a style and stuck to it, so it should come as no surprise that Jackson interpreted the Duke Ellington Songbook.

Backed up by artists like Steve Vai, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson and Captain Kirk Douglas of The Roots, plus Iggy Pop and Sharon Jones of Dap Kings, Jackson lovingly makes Ellington’s classics his own…without stealing any credit from the great man.

NOW: Cemetery John: The Undiscovered Mastermind of the Lindbergh Kidnapping

by Robert Zorn True crime is a sensationalistic genre and few mysteries define sensationalism like the Lindbergh kidnapping. Author Robert Zorn’s father spent his life convinced that his Bronx neighbor was responsible for the kidnapping.

Zorn’s connection is not to the astounding scandal or a lifelong obsession with the mystery, but in trying to prove his father right.

It’s an approach both unique and refreshing, adding new light to a mystery decades old.

NOW: Jaws (Universal’s 100th Anniversary Edition) Thirty-seven years after its massive debut, Steven Spielberg’s Jaws remains a classic in horror history, and a high watermark (no pun intended) of the “monster movie” genre. Now released on Blu-ray as part of Universal’s 100th anniversary celebration, you can show your kids why you’re still a little skittish about swimming in the ocean.

peek into the past

by LeeAnn Dickson

T

hroughout our entire region, if you look closely enough, you can find signs – from petroglyph carvings in rocks to grinding mortars – of an ancient civilization. The hard part is learning how to recognize the work of a culture that was once nearly extinct. Thanks to scores of people assisting over many decades, modern residents of Roseville and beyond can now gain a better understanding of the ancient cultures of native peoples.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Maidu Museum and Historic Site, located in central Roseville, is a prehistoric site and an exceptional place to learn about the early inhabitants of our area. Senior Supervisor Mark Murphy explains, “We have a world-class museum tucked away in this lovely neighborhood.” The excellent exhibits and 50-plus dedicated volunteer docents help visitors understand the native people, their lifestyle, how it was taken away, and the culture’s resurgence. What better place to learn about the area’s first human inhabitants?

Roseville and the surrounding Sacra22 stylemg.com - July 2012

mento Valley and Foothills were home to the Southern Maidu or Nisenan Indians.

The Nisenan lived in the area peacefully for thousands of years where they farmed and lived off the fertile land to provide for their families – feasting on acorn meal bread, local edible plants, insects, fish and wildlife; weaving baskets; growing tobacco; and lovingly tending to the Earth.

In the mid-1800s, however, their idyllic lifestyle came to an abrupt end, “in one lifetime – just 60 years,” says Rick Adams, Nisenan descendant and the museum’s cultural consultant. At the time, federal and state governmental forces were determined to eradicate the native inhabitants. “It was a cultural collision and only one culture survived,” Adams explains. The harsh treatment of the Indians caused death, destruction and despair; their culture was nearly forgotten.

In 1935, new Roseville resident Myron Zents recognized the prehistoric signs of life and culture on the site and worked tirelessly to preserve it, gather funds for an interpretive center, and gave walking tours to help educate locals on the importance of the area.

Maidu Museum and Historic Site

Fast forward to 2000. The museum first opened in temporary buildings, and a decade later the permanent building welcomed visitors with exhibits, an art gallery and more. “There is a huge gap in our public school system’s teaching of indigenous local history,” Adams says. “Our museum and tours help children get a better understanding of how different cultures affect the land.”

Along with the 10,000-square-foot museum, there’s also a 3/4-mile trail meandering through the historic site where you can view rock art that’s thousands of years old and imagine village life by gazing at the 300-plus bedrock mortars. The museum offers many fun and educational programs for the public, including guided tours, nighttime lantern tours, classroom outreach, cultural heritage speakers, and a variety of youth nature camps and campfires. •

Thyroid disorders, including autoimmune disorders, are both hereditary and affected by environmental factors; in addition, they’re more common in women, Dr. Plante says. Unfortunately, there is little people can proactively do to keep their thyroid working well – except managing stress and eating well.

Since it’s possible for a patient to have a subtle thyroid disorder that goes undiagnosed for years, Dr. Rangi urges those with symptoms to seek proper medical care.

“If they really feel the thyroid should be checked, they should see a specialist – an endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid disorders,” she shares. “Even the ones with subtle problems noted just on routine testing and no symptoms should be addressed appropriately and not overlooked. If not, years of abnormality may add to the risk of heart disease, atrial fibrillation (arrhythmias) and higher risk of fractures.” •

Dr. Plante says treatment options are dependent upon the underlying cause of the thyroid disorder. For hyperthyroidism, treatment can include medication or radioactive iodine treatment, while the treatment for hypothyroidism is thyroid hormone replacement in most cases.

Another thyroid disorder to be aware of is thyroid nodules, which Dr. Rangi says is swelling or lumps on your thyroid. She says 95 percent of nodules are not cancerous, but should still be checked. Thyroid swelling is more likely to be cancer in men than in women. “[Thyroid cancer] has excel-

is posted in each child’s room and in the kitchen. There’s also a monthly calendar (prominently displayed) listing all school and sports activities, to help empower them to manage their own time and preparation needs. Empowerment also works for Kim Buckmaster, an El Dorado Hills mom of four.

“I have a pre-printed checklist for each of the kids to complete before bedtime,” she explains. “Each day has a different list for each kid, depending on what they need to do. They just pull their list from their drawer each night.” Alarm clocks, watches and timers also are great ways to remove parents from the motivation equation.

PICK YOUR BATTLES Some things like eating breakfast and wearing shoes are non-negotiable, but other battles can be surrendered with little consequence.

It truly doesn’t matter if your daughter goes to class in a tiara. If you could see some of the outfits my seven-year-old wears to school, you would laugh out loud. But at least he arrives to school on time, nourished and ready to learn. That’s a true accomplishment. •

zafia’s family house A Teen’s Last Wish

by Margaret Snider

P

aralyzed and on hospice with bone cancer in 2006, 14-year-old Zafia Fyfe had a wish: to build a house where families could stay while their children or family members were being treated for serious illnesses.

Robert and Rebecca Fyfe of El Dorado Hills adopted Zafia from Russia at the age of three. She lived a healthy, happy life until at age 12 she developed a sudden knee pain, which quickly escalated. She received a preliminary diagnosis of bone cancer, and spent the next two years in and out of the Roseville Kaiser pediatric oncology unit.

“I know they can’t do a whole lot for me right now, or other kids, but maybe there’s something else we can do,” Zafia told her

28 stylemg.com - July 2012

mother. She felt sorry that her parents had to use sleep chairs to stay near her or drive all the way home and be too far away to return quickly.

Other families are in even worse situations, commuting from places such as Modesto or Marysville. The cost to stay somewhere nearby is prohibitive as the patients are often long-term. Zafia’s strength and positive outlook helped her dream for others, as well as herself.

Since she passed away, the Fyfes have been working to bring their daughter’s dream to fruition.

Dr. Kent Jolly, assistant chairman for the non-profit organization, Zafia’s Family House, is a pediatric oncologist at

Roseville Kaiser, and Zafia’s former physician. “Zafia’s Family House will allow the community to provide support for the children and adults who are hospitalized for long periods of time in any Roseville area hospital,” Dr. Jolly says. He adds that this will be particularly useful to children in the neonatal intensive care unit. “Most of the cancer kids are only at Roseville, hence my personal involvement,” he says. “But if we look at the community’s need as a whole, a much larger number of affected families will probably be the parents of premature babies and those [families] are present at all three of the local hospitals. There is no local affordable housing for the families of premature babies, outside of downtown.”

Thanks to help from Roseville Mayor Pauline Roccucci, Rebecca Fyfe is encouraged. Employees of the City of Roseville – on their annual campaigns – are now contributing around $10,000 a year. All that’s left is to build Zafia’s Family House. The plan is to locate it near Roseville Kaiser and Sutter Roseville Hospitals, also accessible to Mercy San Juan Hospital. The goal is to raise at least $750,000 to be in a position to build the house and support it for two years.

Moreover, enough money needs to be available to ensure that the house can continue to be funded once it’s built. Board member Donna Knezevich says several successful fundraising events took place earlier this year. Upcoming events include a crab feed in October and a dinner/dance at Morgan Creek Country Club on April 25, 2013. • Visit zafiasfamilyhouse.org for more information.

the truth about trust It’s Not What You Think

by Dr. Debra Moore

A

re you someone who struggles with “trust issues?” Well, you’re not alone – almost every couple I’ve ever worked with brings up trust at some point. You might be surprised to learn what many psychologists think about trust.

1. Trust is another word for expectation and means different things to each person.

When we say we trust someone, what we mean is that we expect him/her to behave in certain ways that are desirable to us. We each have our own unique, non-negotiable areas when it comes to trust. Some folks insist they must trust/expect that their partner will never lie to them. Others demand they have to be able to trust/expect that their partner will always “have their back.”

Others equate trust with always being treated kindly.

2. It’s important to remember that “trust” is not all or nothing.

You can trust some people for some things, but not others. When trust in one area is broken, it may continue to survive in others. But we tend to forget this when we are hurting and say, “I can’t trust you!” as a global indictment. This is rarely completely accurate and is a statement that usually causes a long-term wound to the relationship.

3. Sometimes not trusting is a sign of healthy adaptation.

The fact is there are many people who grew up in families where it made perfect sense to not trust those close to them. Learning 30 stylemg.com - July 2012

to keep your distance and expect others to disappoint you is logical and smart…when that’s the reality of your life. The problem is that if you learned this as a child, you may never have unlearned it as an adult. If you never worked through your family “stuff” – perhaps got angry, indignant, sad and finally realistic – how can you expect to not carry it into your current relationship?

4. No relationships, however strong and healthy, are exempt from “trust crises.”

People hurt each other. Intimate relationships are high risk, high reward. The more we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, the more we come to rely on another; and the longer we depend on our partner, the more we hurt when there is a breach in our attachment. It’s part of the deal – humans make mistakes, including big ones. Believe it or not, most of the time it’s not about you. When someone acts in a way you didn’t expect (i.e., you “trusted” they would never act this way!), it has more to do with how they feel about themselves than how they feel about you.

They likely would have done the same thing no matter who they were in a relationship with.

5. The most important person in the relationship to trust is YOU. You can’t realistically demand trust of another person. What you can realistically insist on is that you will always trust yourself. Insisting, “I need to be

able to trust you” is really not the point.

Of course you want your partner to live up to your shared values and commitments, but if they don’t (and remember, it’s quite possible that at some point in a long-term relationship they won’t), the question becomes whether you can trust yourself to either work toward healing the breach, or ending the relationship if that is not possible. You must know in your heart that you are capable of trusting yourself and your own reactions in the situation.

tub plunges and then back again!” Eberle says. In order to achieve this, the crew captured some of the attic area and existing hallway space. Along these lines, the tub and shower were both partially positioned under the rake of the existing roofline.

According to Eberle, the glass shower enclosure – with its many angles – was

really a work of art. “Our shower door subcontractor, who’s been in business for many, many years, commented that it was probably the best (most level and plumb) tile installation he had ever seen,” he says. “An existing furniture piece was repurposed for the new vanity, which was topped with two vessel lavatories.”

The final project won a 2011 National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) Regional Contractor of the Year (CotY) Award in the “Residential Bath” $30,000-$60,000 category. But, as Eberle notes, knowing the owners’ expectations were exceeded was an even greater reward. “Their new spa-like bathroom provides them with the quieting spa-like ambiance they wanted from the start!” he says.•

H

ow does one turn a narrow, cramped space into a dreamy master bathroom? Ask Kent Eberle of Eberle Remodeling in Sacramento. A 28-year veteran of the home redesign business, Eberle and his crew knew exactly how to transform their clients’ current bathroom into the functional, spa-like oasis they desired.

First, Eberle presented his clients with a 3D perspective using a design program called CAD. This exercise helped the homeowners get an inside look at options that would improve their bathroom both functionally and aesthetically. “In the case of this project, many changes occurred,” Eberle says. “The ceiling was vaulted, a skylight was added, walls were removed and reconfigured, and the footprint of the bathroom was enlarged…all in order to accomplish some of the clients’ goals.”

According to Eberle, bathroom remodels, just like kitchens and other rooms, must be designed as highly functional spaces overall. “Every inch counts and we try to leave no stone unturned with regard to the possible floor plan changes,”

TERRANEA RESORT

MODERN

FAMILY TRAVELS FIVE FAB ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORTS

BY DARREN ELMS When I was a kid, the idea of an all-inclusive family vacation resembled something out of The Brady Bunch.

You remember, those multi-episode breaks where the entire clan (including Alice) would fly off to Hawaii or an amusement park for some crazy adventure. Then I remember seeing Dirty Dancing as a teenager in the late ’80s and imagined myself tucked away in a woodsy upstate New York enclave, where the days were cold as iced tea and the nights hot as a secret salsa party. Ah, memories. It turns out my tube-inspired vision of the all-inclusive family getaway wasn’t too far off from reality. The formula is pretty simple: nice accommodations, plenty of in-house dining, great afternoon activities for the whole family to enjoy and just enough nighttime fun for Mom and Dad to partake in while the kids watch movies.

Howdy, partner! If you thought the dude ranch went out of style with Bonanza, then you haven’t experienced Marble Mountain Ranch.

Family owned since 1968, this diverse ranch sits at the top of California, not too far from the Oregon border. Surrounded by towering pines, majestic mountains and blue skies, you’ll get more than a breath of fresh air on this impressive property. Families can hang their cowboy hats in one of the ranch’s cabins or private homes, all conveniently located near the activity centers. During peak season, visitors share home-style meals with other guests, family and staff in the dining lodge – chowing down on home-baked breads and desserts, salads, vegetables fresh from the garden, and select meats smoked and roasted over native hardwoods.

But it’s the outdoor adventures that take the cake at Marble Mountain, with more fun than you can shake a stick at. Highlights include river rafting down the Klamath River, looking for wildlife or fishing the native California salmon. Horseback riding is sacred here, with beautiful steeds saddled up to take you on guided wilderness tours through the woods and up along easy to more challenging mountain trails. Even if you’ve never ridden a horse, let alone offered one a carrot, the experienced staff will give you all the basics to make your first journey an enjoyable one. Now giddy up!

SORT IT OUT Is Recycling Garbage? by andrea todd

T

he question was posed more than a decade ago, as recycle fever spiked nationwide, and a 1996 New York Times Magazine cover story declared that yes! “Recycling is Garbage.” The essay savaged environmentalists and their beloved recycling movement, dismissing it as “the most wasteful activity in modern America: a waste of time and money, a waste of human and natural resources.” Admitting that recycling certain materials for certain reasons made sense, the reporter nonetheless argued the “simplest, cheapest” solution to our garbage problem was to bury it in an “environmentally-safe landfill.”

That the only individuals who benefit from recycling programs — aside from the guiltridden — are politicians, public relations consultants, environmental organizations and waste-handling corporations.

Richard Shaw, environmental special-

ist supervisor for the City of Folsom, disagrees. “I don’t want to entertain political subjectivity. I just look at it practically.

Recycling saves natural resources, saves money, and creates industry commodities out of waste. My experience is that 99 percent are on board with what we do. It’s a job creator; it protects valuable resources; it reduces our dependency on natural resources; it produces tradable commodities; it’s an economic engine in and of itself. It’s the way of the future.”

The City of Folsom’s Recycling program generates revenues of approximately $605,000 annually and employs about 40 individuals. And as of now, it’s the law: recycling is mandated by legislation – AB 939 and most recently AB 341 – which requires 75 percent of garbage be recycled by 2020. Folsom trash is hauled out to Sacramento’s landfill; 25-30 tons a year at the cost of $25-$30 per ton.

Recycling costs vary year to year and are market-based. (Recycling also removes much of the heavier materials from garbage, like glass – lightening the load.)

Sean Bigley, government relations analyst in environmental utilities for the City of Roseville, explains how recycling costs are strictly controlled. “Our recycling program complies within the limits of our budget.

We’re allotted an amount to spend on this program each year and that’s what we spend.” In turn, the program produces an annual revenue of $488,000. In a city boasting that two-thirds of their waste is recycled for reuse, sorting is done from “one big bin” by machines and then by hand at the Material Recovery Facility.

What’s left is hauled to the landfill, located practically next door. (You can view the process at onebigbin.com.) “The machines are pretty good at sorting the material,” Bigley adds. “There’s been a great deal stylemg.com - July 2012 47

of advancement in the recycling industry, even just in the past few years.”

The recycling trucks themselves are far more eco-conscious, designed to run greener and meet fuel emission standards, Shaw explains. Landfill gases are being converted to energy as well. “Sacramento County does it, but not everybody does it; it’s expensive.” The process, or plasma gasification, is exothermic combustion (of water and carbon dioxide) energy in the form of heat, transformation of carbon to a fuel gas. Ideally, high temperatures and a lack of oxygen result in no tars, dioxins and less than one percent of the waste can not be reproduced.

Both Bigley and Shaw agree that recycling is rewarding work: “There is a sense of self actualization in helping the environment. Look at corporate America – Costco, Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club. Big companies want to be green. This is smart, green sells.

There is economic incentive there.” Plus, Shaw adds, “We’re on the cutting edge of new technology.”

Even those religious about recycling agree the best solution all-around is reducing waste before it becomes waste in the first place. Drinking out of cans instead of plastic bottles, for example: aluminum cans are back on the shelves 60 days after recycling. They are the most recycled item in the U.S. Because so many are recycled, aluminum cans count for less than one percent of the total U.S. waste stream, according to the EPA. And you can recycle it repeatedly!

Plastic is difficult to recycle. Still, recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as burning it in an incinerator. It’s important to know what the numbers on plastic bottles mean in terms of their “recyclability” and which types your city can handle: Number “1,” or PET or PETE (polyethylene terephthalate, including soft drink, water and beer bottles; mouthwash bottles; peanut butter containers, etc.) is the most common — it’s cheap, lightweight and easy to recycle, with a low leachate risk.

It’s true that trees are planted to replace those cut for paper use; however, these do not replicate the intricate habitats for particular plant and animal species, damaging the ecosystem. Each ton (2,000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, three cubic yards of landfill space, 4,000 kilowatts of energy and 7,000 gallons of water; 48 stylemg.com - July 2012

resulting in 64-percent energy savings, 58-percent water savings, 60 pounds less air pollution (although paper production and recycling contribute significantly to water pollution). Aside from logging on (a 2007 Javelin Strategy & Research Report on online banking determined that 16.5 million trees were saved as a result), you could stop the flow of junk mail, more than half of which is tossed, unopened.

(DMAchoice.org provides information to help you do this.)

The New York Times dismissed recycling as garbage back when people were using dial-up Internet connection and AOL. Since then, studies have proved that recycling is not the best thing for the environment, but

it’s better. And while nothing is as cheap as landfill, recycling is becoming cheaper.

And the more people recycle, the cheaper it gets. On average, it costs about half per ton more to recycle trash as compared to sending it to the landfill – and more than twice the cost of recycling to incinerate it.

Not to mention, it takes less than half the energy – 10.4 million Btu (British thermal units) – to create products from a ton of recyclables, 23.3 Btu from “virgin” materials. “Life-cycle analyses,” conducted by scientists, compare recycling to raw-material production, landfill use and incineration.

This significant increase in energy required proves detrimental to the environment, long term, in every case.•

DO THESE FIVE “FACTS” ABOUT RECYCLING GARBAGE PASS THE SMELL TEST? Much of what we believe about recycling is based on half-truths. In 2008, Popular Mechanics Magazine revealed these half-truths in a detailed report.

1. Landfill space is limited. The U.S. has two decades of capacity left in landfills that already exists, says NSWAM (the National Solid Waste Management Association). But that varies state to state. The northeast has the least available. Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, North Carolina, New Hampshire and Rhode Island have less than a quarter of our national capacity. Many states are eager to accept landfill revenues, but transporting tons of garbage to areas with more room is hardly inexpensive. Tipping fees in the land(fill)squeezed Northeast total 70 bucks a ton (the national average is $34). Landfill space may not be scarce nationwide, but economically it makes more sense for some states to reduce. Landfills have other issues; the methane gas poisons the air, groundwater sources are contaminated and contamination can leak into the soil (leachate). They’re expensive to clean up once it becomes necessary for a landfill to go.

2. Those massive recycling trucks burn energy and pollute the planet. For starters, there’s the argument that garbage trucks do, too. And the trash has to be picked up one way or another. But more to the point: newer recycling trucks collect garbage and recycling at the same time, and are becoming more and more eco-efficient. Bins are designed to self-dump. Municipal budget crunching limits recycling pickups — these occur once or twice a month. Recycling done smart – less often, cost-efficiently — has proved worthwhile for some U.S. cities.

3. Recycling is just a way to make cities /“big (local) government” rich. Cities tend to be locked into longterm contracts and tipping fees that protected from the wild wide that was the recycling market for years.

Cities pay to have their recycling collected, sorted and transported, as opposed to getting the money for the recycling. With the accepted – in many cases the mandated—practice of recycling, a once volatile market has stabilized. Lock-ins allowed cities to recycle within budget, but now that the value of recycling no longer fluctuates and the value of recyclables has increased, cities that locked in lose out. It is only as contracts are renewed and renegotiated that cities can enjoy revenues from their recycling programs. Cities generally provide individuals with mercenary incentives to recycle. That’s green green in your pocket, not your mayor’s.

4. It costs too much to have to sort the materials by hand. New technologies have introduced “singlestream” material recovery facilities; in the U.S. we had just 70 in 2001, but by 2007 we more than doubled that number (160). Machines do most of the sorting. Steel is magnetized, aluminum is deflected by “eddy currents,” infrared identifies valuable plastics. These are pricey sorters, but the costs of sorting and curbside collection are lower, and the recycled material value is increased.

5. Plastics aren’t recyclable anyway. Plastics are complicated. It’s hard to know what the numbers mean, so consumers often throw them into the wrong bins. It’s true that most of it winds up in the landfill. But new technology, such as “optical sorting” is increasing the types of plastic that can be acceptable for recycling by determining the chemical makeup of the material and sorting it accordingly. There’s also an increasing market for recycled plastics, as this material can be transformed into a variety of products. Recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as burning it in an incinerator.

taste SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD Seamus Mullen’s Hero Food: How Cooking with Delicious Things Can Make Us Feel Better

by Seamus Mullen (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2012, $35)

As soon as sugar snaps show up at the farmers’ market, I’m instantly happy.

Sweet, crisp, snappy and sugary! This salad is all about the sugar snaps, with a pinch of Aleppo pepper for heat, some fresh ricotta cheese for richness and texture, and edible flowers for color. It comes together easily, looks gorgeous, and is oh so easy to love.

•

1 pound fresh sugar snap peas 1 bunch radishes 1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese A few leaves fresh peppermint Salt Freshly ground black pepper Juice of 1 lemon Olive oil to taste Pinch Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes Handful of edible flowers, such as pea blossoms or nasturtiums

With a sharp knife, trim the tips of the sugar snap peas on both ends, remove the strings if they bother you, and cut some in half lengthwise. Blanch the sugar snaps quickly, just about 30 seconds and shock in ice water. Slice the radishes thinly into coin shapes or halfmoons. Combine the peas, radishes, cheese, and peppermint in a large bowl.

Season with salt and pepper and toss with the lemon juice and olive oil. Serve with a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper and garnish of edible flowers. Serves 4.

2011 BUTTER CHARDONNAY BY JAM CELLARS The name of this wine tells you everything you need to know. Everyone loves butter, especially when it’s flavoring Chardonnay. At a price like this, butter tastes especially good; the wine retails for under $15 a bottle (normally a wine of this caliber is closer to $30).

52 stylemg.com - July 2012

dinner date Food and Wine for the Season Butter Chardonnay is made by Jam Cellars, which is part of John Anthony wines – known for making very expensive and highly allocated wines. John Anthony is also part of the famous Turchard winemaking family, earning him an amazing winemaking pedigree.

This particular Chardonnay is double fermented, which is why the flavor is so “buttery.” It has incredible creaminess on the palate, smooth oak nuances and a fabulous finish. You will also taste some tropical fruit flavors of pineapple and honeydew. Give Butter Chardonnay a try this summer – with its outstanding flavors and reasonable price, you won’t be disappointed! • — Richard Righton Owner, Bidwell Street Bistro in Folsom

Agape Dental 5752 Lonetree Boulevard, Rocklin, 916-824-8711, agapedentistry.com Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

Agape Dental offers “Phase Treatment,” a unique system that prioritizes dental care options so patients feel empowered to make the right decision for their oral health care needs. As a dental professional, I make sure my patients receive knowledge, guidance and treatment options to ensure they’re engaged in making a decision that is comfortable and rewarding. My staff and I will give your dental needs extra time and attention, along with a doctor you can relate to. My passion for dentistry translates into providing exceptional dental care to my patients.

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

As a dental professional, I keep myself up to date by joining the local district dental society, Sacramento District Dental Society (SDDS) and the American Dental Association (ADA). Through our local churches, Filipino American Alliance Church (FAAC) and Christian Family Tabernacle (CFT), I’m involved in medical and dental mission work. Recently, I was selected to be one of the volunteers to do medical and dental mission work through the UC Davis Medical Foundation’s Bayanihan program.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

My staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and we provide unconditional dental care for every patient. As part of Agape Dental, we believe that personal relationships can grow with the practice and with every patient that we see. We provide excellent service through our “Phase Treatment.”

What’s your biggest job perk?

Being able to address my patients’ concerns and educate them about the importance of maintaining oral health.

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

Ruth’s Chris for steak and The Boiling Crab for seafood.

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

Blue Oaks Cinema, bowling at Strikes, and SunSplash or Six Flags during the summer.

And finally, customer service is…?

Agape – it means unconditional care, whether a patient needs dental treatment or is just merely looking for professional advice in a kind, friendly and comfortable environment.

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

We provide commercial, industrial and office suites for small businesses in Placer County. We created this center to help people start their own small business.

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

We belong to the Roseville Chamber of Commerce; in addition, we help our customers start their businesses by offering a free moving truck and keeping a forklift on-site for tenants’ use. We help tenants through the City of Roseville by obtaining permits and working with the planning department.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

Our staff consists of my father, our on-site manager and me. We deal with tenants on a daily basis and are always thinking of ways to thank our customers by offering incentives, newsletters with free advertising, and gifts.

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

My father – he’s learned this business the hard way, through life lessons and making mistakes. What he has to offer is something not taught in school or in books.

What’s your hidden talent?

I don’t know if it is hidden, but I’m a good runner. I just completed the Boston Marathon.

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

Mimi’s Cafe – they have the best corn chowder.

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

We enjoy Midtown and Downtown Sacramento – there is so much to do and everything is within walking distance. Catching a bite and an afternoon movie is fun.

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

The California International Marathon (CIM), held every December.

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

All of the businesses that make up the Business Center are some of the best in town.

And finally, customer service is…?

What makes a business successful; also, doing everything possible to help someone start and create their own Ryan Smith business.

Golf Instruction by Fran Carlo-Cones

Photos by Dante Fontana.

Roseville, 570-468-3506, golfgal.us Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

It definitely found me. I’ve been playing golf for most of my life. As my kids got older, I decided to pursue my teaching/certification so I could help others with their game and do what I love. Once I made the decision, all the pieces fell into place.

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

At my home course, Diamond Oaks, I work with The First Tee, a development program that teaches kids both golf and life skills. We also partner with the City of Roseville’s Parks and Recreation Department to bring junior golf programs to our course. As far as my customers go, I am on-site four to five days a week to connect with golfers who are interested in advancing their skills.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

My two sons, Brandon, 13, and Ryan, 12.

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

while continuing to play in and around Sacramento, which is how he fell in with Oleander. He was already friends with the local post-grunge band when their album, February Son, hit big in 1999. One night in 2003, they called from the road. “They said, ‘Hey can you catch a plane tonight and learn the whole first record?’” They’d had issues with their original drummer. Brown has been with them ever since.

Brown also sits in occasionally with another Sacramento band, Tesla, but it’s touring with Montrose that gets him the most animated. His love for the legendary guitar slinger is obvious, and he’s still deeply saddened by his death, which was ruled a suicide. It caught Brown and the rest of the band off-guard. After all, they’d already booked a world tour. Looking back, Brown says there were signs, but at the time, they went unnoticed. “He was a quirky guy, you know?” He sighs. “Hindsight’s always 20-20.”

These days, Brown splits his time between Roseville, where this past spring he could be found watching his 12-yearold son play ball for Roseville West Little League, and Pasadena, where he and Oleander are working on new music. The sessions have already produced one single, the hard rockin’ “Fight,” which was picked up by the WWE as their official theme song.

Occasionally Brown has needed “real jobs” to get by.

He helped create a startup in the Bay area and worked as a radio sales executive, but rock ‘n’ roll is and will always be his first love. “It’s like anything else,” he explains, “you have to be all in. Sometimes it’s feast or famine, and that’s the rough end of it. But look at what you get to do.” His big grin comes back.

“Where else could I get to play in front of thousands and spray beer on people and everyone says, ‘nice job!’” He’s laughing again and it fills the room, punctuating his point like a perfectly placed drum riff. •

hat do you call a guy who hangs out with a bunch of musicians?

A drummer. Funny joke, but it’s not accurate. Have you ever really watched a drummer? Juggling chopsticks in a hurricane seems easier. Sure, drummers may not be a lot of things – mellow, sedate, entirely rational – but talented, they are.

Take Roseville’s Steve Brown for example. We met at a coffee shop recently and it was obvious why he didn’t order anything – coffee would just slow him down.

Quick with a smile and a staccato laugh like a happy machine gun, the 40-year-old is one of those people who seems to have a power source just a little bit different than the rest of us. Nuclear, perhaps.

But that’s expected, since he’s been busy playing drums for some of Sacramento’s biggest bands for the past decade or so.

Oleander. Tesla. He also toured with rock legend Ronnie Montrose the past several years, until the Bay Area musician’s untimely death this past March.

Raised in Meadow Vista, Brown played trumpet until he was 15. But a trip to San Francisco in the late ‘80s to see his older brother, Mick, changed all that. “Wild” Mick Brown happens to be the drummer and founding member of the hard rock band Dokken. That night they were playing at the Cow Palace. Dokken was big and the crowd was crazy. Brown said it was life changing. “Yeah, I pretty much decided at that moment that I wasn’t ever going to play at the Cow Palace in front of 23,000 people with a trumpet.” He laughs. He put away the horn and picked up the sticks.

Brown was a quick learner and by his late teens was making the long drive from Meadow Vista to Sacramento regularly to play with, well, pretty much everyone on the city’s rich musical scene. “Someone told me when I first started that if you do this long enough, you’ll eventually play with everybody in Sacramento, and that’s been so true.” Eventually, needing something steadier, he landed a gig backing San Francisco burlesque legend Carol Doda. “Most nights it wasn’t too embarrassing,” he chuckles.

From there, he found Rockin’ regular work as a Bay Area studio musician
