editor’snote

couldn’t help but laugh, loudly and in a library-like setting nonetheless, when I came across a quote from Franklin P. Jones: “Patience is what parents have when there are witnesses.” After my giggle and sigh, I uttered an “amen.” Further along in my investigation of inspirational quotes for parents, I came across another one on momastery.com that truly resonated: “Don’t let yourself become so concerned with raising a good kid that you forget you already have one.” My parents grew up with parents who survived the Great Depression, so naturally, they modeled some parenting practices of yesteryear—from a time when kids were often conditioned to be “seen and not heard.” So, no tomfoolery at the dinner table if you know what I mean. Before you get the wrong idea, let me preface this paragraph with the assertion that my parents were great (and still are), and I’m who I am because of them. But…they were tough. For example, I heard the following mantras on a regular basis: “Sit up straight.” “Don’t play with your food.” “Did you say ‘thank you’?” “Did you say ‘please’?” “Close the refrigerator door, you’re wasting electricity.” “Use your head for something other than a hat rack.” “Stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about.” “Do you see a money tree in the backyard?” “Got time to lean? Got time to clean.” I could write a book filled with these one-liners. Thinking back to my childhood, I realize that I, too, model similar behaviors of my parental units. Shoulder-deep in stress (just how I remember my dad), I often find myself at the grocery store behaving like the ever-patient, camera-ready parent I’m supposed to be. If truth be told, rather than gently pulling my daughter aside and speaking calmly and firmly at her eye level (like all the books say) when she incessantly whines for items we never buy, I’d grab a roll of duct tape off the shelf and seal her lips as I leisurely finished my picture-perfect day of shopping. Heck, I think my mom carried a roll in her purse just to scare us. So when it comes to that prophetic notion that if you’re too busy making sure your kid is going to be great, you’re probably missing out on your already-great kid—heed these words. Too often I find myself expecting my exceedingly smart 10-year-old to act as if she is 18. Her love for school is flourishing and her listening skills are improving; what more can I ask for from a fourth grader? Now when it comes to twelfth graders, there’s plenty to ask. And we did. This month’s 7th Annual Student Spotlight exemplifies the results of both good parenting and great student achievement. As I read the student questionnaires this year, I noticed these pace-setting, scholastically-inclined high school seniors often credited their folks for much of their success today. Way to go Mom and Dad! This month, we hope you’re inspired by our community’s next generation of go-getters. And, when tending to your own adult(s)-in-training, remember they’re only young once—don’t miss their goodness now! FOLLOW US ONLINE: — Desiree

Q&A Q: What advice would you give to your younger self? A: Enjoy what each day brings and don’t sweat the small stuff (which is most everything). Q: What comes to you naturally? A: Being able to bridge relationships with others. Q: What’s your biggest pet peeve? A: People who drive below the speed limit. Q: Biggest life inspirations? A: People who have the ability to maintain a positive attitude in the face of extreme adversity. Q: What are you most proud of? A: My children, my wife, and the employees of the Roseville City School District. Q: Favorite humanitarian cause? A: Efforts to fight child neglect/ abuse.

rom early on, I had a desire to be successful in education,” shares Roseville City School District Superintendent Rich Pierucci. He grew up in a family of educators: His father was a coach and an athletic director for over 30 years, and his uncle was an assistant superintendent. Pierucci’s passion for team sports (he played football and baseball throughout high school and college) cultivated his desire to work in leadership positions. “I had a strong desire to be involved in a broader scope of things,” Pierucci explains. “I wanted to be at the heart of where decisions [are] made.” After college, Pierucci taught science and special education for eight years before shifting gears to the administrative side of education. He worked his way up the

ranks before becoming superintendent in 1999. Since then, he’s lead the charge to help the district successfully navigate though unprecedented growth in student population. All the while, Pierucci continued volunteering his time with the Rotary Club of Roseville and numerous other community organizations, including six years served on the board of the Child Abuse Prevention Fund (now KidsFirst). Pierucci will retire from his role as superintendent in July, but he looks forward to spending more time with his wife, six children and two grandchildren. Even as this chapter in life ends, he isn’t done making a difference. “I want to keep self-actualizing,” Pierucci shares. “To grow as a person, and as a human being.” — Amber Foster

roseville parks and recreation Operation Swim

icking out a new swimsuit (or two), jumping into a pool, swimming for hours on end—these are cherished memories many of us have of summers growing up. Unfortunately, many kids in our community can’t afford a swimsuit, and the opportunity to learn how to swim is even less likely. Learning the important skills of swimming and water safety can be lifesaving. Thankfully, Operation Swim was created to help!

The Goals of Operation Swim 1. Collect donations of new swimsuits and beach towels for children in need. Donations are currently being collected at the Mike Shellito Indoor Pool, Roseville Sports Center, Maidu Library, and the Parks and Recreation Office (inside the Roseville Civic Center) 2. Provide swimming lessons to at least 150 children in need through monetary donations. For every $40 collected, a child will receive a new swimsuit, beach towel and swimming lessons.

How You Can Help All donations are accepted—you name the amount. Visit roseville.ca.us/operationswim to donate online, or call 916-772-PLAY and simply say you would like to be a part of Operation Swim. — Pam Allen For more information about Roseville Parks and Recreation, visit roseville.ca.us/parks.

season’s eatings

PlacerGROWN and Foothill Farmers’ Market

What’s in Season: Berries

In the world of produce, not every fruit and vegetable is fortunate to have both beauty and brains. This year’s crop of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, however, are not only pretty to look at, but nutritionally smart and delicious too! Delivering a party of good flavors with every bite, berries beat out the competition when it comes to taste, versatility and vibrant colors. All berries are low in calories and fat, cholesterol free and high in fiber. What’s more, they contain a variety of vitamins and minerals that the body needs to function at optimal levels. For those with a sweet tooth, berries hit the jackpot and can be enjoyed right from the picking (after a quick rinse). They are delicious eaten plain or dressed up with a small dollop of whipped cream and sprinkling of nuts. And who can resist a berry cobbler filled with fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, topped with vanilla ice cream? Foothill Farmers’ Market/PlacerGROWN Chef Courtney McDonald shares her recipe for such a dessert at stylemg.com.

SELECTION AND STORAGE The best berries are ones that are firm, ripe and brightly colored. Berries should be refrigerated unwashed, with a loose, single-layer cover. Strawberries and blueberries are most flavorful in the first five days, while blackberries and raspberries are good for nearly three days. Berries can be frozen for up to 12 months, but because they tend to lose their shape and juice when thawed, are best suited for smoothies or baking and sauces.

ask the expert How can I protect my hair from Q: sun damage?

A: There are several ways to keep

hair protected from the sun, both in the summer when rays are the harshest and in the winter when people don’t think about sun protection as much. Use products that are UVA and/or UVB protectants to keep your hair from getting damaged by the sun. Sulfate-free shampoos also work wonders, but don’t wash your hair every day—it can dry out and damage hair further. Above all else, deep condition! Using a leave-in and/ or hydrating conditioner will keep your hair healthy, moisturized and less prone to damage. —Kayla Ellsworth and Bri McMullen Brockway Hair Design 9260 Sierra College Boulevard Roseville (Johnson Ranch location) 916-780-4242 brockwayhairdesign.net

DID YOU KNOW? RASPBERRIES contain only 50 calories per serving, boast more vitamin C than an orange, and are a rich source of flavonoids, which have proven to play a role in heart heath and the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. BLUEBERRIES are also a nutritional powerhouse and can improve nighttime vision, may help to reduce the risk of infection, improve motor skills and reverse short-term memory loss that comes with aging.

BLACKBERRIES have shown to have beneficial health effects in the fight against cancers of the GI tract, like colon cancer, and have the highest antioxidant content per serving than any food tested. Last, but certainly not least, the STRAWBERRY and its 600 varieties are considered to be one of the world’s healthiest and most popular types of berries.

For the recipe to make Spring Berry Cobbler, visit stylemg.com. — Julie Peterson

HOW TO PAIR WITH WINE There’s nothing like fresh berries to bring out the fruitiness of a ruby Port or late harvest dessert wine. Try Fawnridge Winery’s Confluence Ruby Port or Bear River Winery’s Late Harvest Barbera slightly chilled, which lends a crispness that pairs especially well with ice cream. 12 stylemg.com - May 2014

Jimboy’s Tacos

hen hunger hits and time is of the essence, Jimboy’s Tacos is my go-to destination. While I often opt for their grilled, tightly wrapped Bean Classic Burrito, which boasts a crispy exterior and gooey, cheese-filled interior with a hefty helping of scratch-made (and vegetarian!) refried beans, my last visit—to the recently remodeled Douglas Boulevard locale—had me hankering for a Ground Beef Taco and Diablo Shrimp Taco. Despite a busy lunch crowd, my food was ready in a flash—piping hot and smelling muy bueno. Modern Mayan-style surroundings set the mood perfectly, and I quickly started feasting. The beef taco, one of the Sacramento-based chains signature items, didn’t disappoint. The meat was flavored with an addictingly delicious blend of savory seasonings, and paired with the crisp shredded lettuce, American cheese and ubiquitous Parmesan-crusted, greasy-in-a-good-way corn tortilla—there was no denying the smile in my stomach. Following the turf, it was time for some surf…and spice. Thanks to the shrimp taco’s cooling coleslaw and pico de gallo, the fiery diablo shrimp and chipotle mayo wasn’t too hot to handle. With coupons easily available, a cheerful staff and food that’s “prepared fresh daily, cooked slow and served fast,” it’s no wonder Jimboy’s has been on the block since 1954.

The bison skull, found just a few miles from the campus, is one of 140 skulls on display at the museum. One might say they’re a-head of the game?

yron Stephens, award-winning artist and major force in Granite Bay High School’s art department, brings the real to surreal with the mind-bending technique of trompe l’oeil (trick the eye) in his paintings.

AB: Your style is incredibly unique. How did you develop such a stylized and personal approach to realism? MS: My current Alter Piece series (showing through June 27 at the Roseville Chamber of Commerce) is very different from work I did as little as five years ago. When you have a story you want to tell, 12 or 15 paintings later

Myron and his wife Michelle

Myron Stephens Master Optical Illusionist by Abigail Blank Displacement of a Shell

AB: Did you always know you wanted to be an artist?

MS: I actually started out wanting to be a teacher, because both of my parents were teachers and loved their jobs. In college, I realized that I might not be the most talented artist, but I was willing to push myself to learn new techniques, and I had the discipline it takes to get better.

AB: Your work has received many awards. Is there one you’re most proud of? MS: When I received an award for a painting of mine on display in the Haggin Museum, it felt like a big step in my career. As a result, it’s a painting I don’t think I’ll ever let go of. However, when my students win awards, get into a gallery, or sell a painting, it makes me feel like I’m doing what I originally set out to do…and that’s pretty cool. 26 stylemg.com - May 2014

AB: Who is your biggest inspiration? MS: Michelle, my wife. She is in the studio with me every day, so I’m able to stay longer and paint more, and as a result, create more paintings. It’s perfect because we are together, working and talking about new ideas for future paintings. Michelle also takes care of emails to galleries, updating spreadsheets and the website, entering competitions, and sending out gallery opening announcements, etc. She is the reason I paint as much as I do.

AB: Have you ever left a piece of work unfinished? MS: All of my paintings start out with great intentions and aspirations of becoming “masterpieces,” but some of them make it very clear to me that they’re going to be a battle not worth fighting. With these paintings, they go through several different phases: I put them on a different easel for “troubled paintings,” then they get put in “the rack,” which is a section of the studio where the other troubled paintings go, and finally they’re taken to the shop where they’re sanded and primed again for a second chance.

AB: As a teacher, what do you feel is the most valuable lesson you’ve passed along to your students? MS: Teaching my students techniques that enable them to express themselves where they can be heard is the most important thing. It gives them an outlet, which many students feel they don’t really have. A close second would be showing them how to avoid a lot of the mistakes in art making that would normally take years by trial and error. Simply put, I want to give students the ability to succeed in the art world, in the shortest amount of time possible, so they can get on with making their masterpiece.

5 Tips to Protect Your Peepers by Jacqueline Renfrow

Limit the amount of time you spend staring at a laptop, tablet, television and smartphone. They give off high-energy visible (HEV) light, which, like UV rays, cause free radical damage to retinal cells. “There are specialty anti-reflective coatings you can get on your glasses to block HEV during computer use,” says Dr. Van Winkle. “These coatings are different than commercial anti-glare coatings—ask your eye care provider about them at your next visit.”

1/HEALTHY BODY=HEALTHY SIGHT

4/KEEP MOIST

How well you see is linked to the overall health of your body. “Eating right, not smoking and exercising regularly lowers your risk of heart disease and diabetes, which in turn lowers your risk of retinopathy and complications in your eye,” Dr. Van Winkle says. She goes on to say that nutrients such as lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamins C and E, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to reducing the risk of AMD and cataract formation. These powerful punches are found in leafy vegetables like kale, spinach and collard greens, as well as in eggs, nuts, fish, fruits, flax, fortified cereals and sweet potatoes.

As we age, our eyes become drier. Heating and air conditioning exasperate this situation; therefore, Dr. Van Winkle recommends using artificial tears regularly. In addition, eating omega-3s and drinking water help to keep eyes lubricated and improve the quality of tears.

2/GET CHECKED Early detection is the key to saving your sight, so eye exams are a must. In fact, many of these diseases are asymptomatic—a doctor

would detect a problem before you do. “I’m also an advocate for getting your children’s eyes checked early, so certain childhood vision problems like amblyopia (lazy eye) or strabismus (turned eyes) can be detected,” Dr. Van Winkle says. Lazy eye, the most common cause of vision defects in children, refers to a situation where one eye or both eyes are not working properly in conjunction with the brain. “Think of it as a computer, where all the hardware is intact, but there are issues with the software,” says Nguyen Quach, O.D., at QT Optometry in Folsom.

3/BEWARE OF SCREEN TIME

5/COVER UP Cataracts are a highly preventable disorder, and one of the biggest weapons to guard against harmful UV radiation—and the harmful progression of AMD—is wearing sunglasses. “One of my biggest pet peeves is seeing a family at the beach...or strolling around on a very sunny day and the mom and dad are both wearing sunglasses yet the children, especially infants, are walking around or in strollers without any sunglasses or hats [on],” Dr. Quach says.

e all know how important diet and exercise are to maintaining a healthy body, but what about healthy eyes? What do we do to protect them as we age? For all of us, getting older makes us more susceptible to eye disorders, such as blindness and decreased vision, as well as more serious ailments like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. More familiar and common refractive errors can affect our eyes, too, such as myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), astigmatism (distortion at all distances) and presbyopia (not being able to focus up close to read). However, there’s good news. “These disorders can be easily detected during a comprehensive eye exam and are usually correctable with glasses or contact lenses,” says Lauren Narvaez Van Winkle, O.D., at Viewpoint Optometry in Roseville. And, although many of these diseases are age-related or genetic, there are some diet and lifestyle changes that can help you see 20/20 as long as possible.

aden Woodall was 10 days old when he started chemotherapy for bilateral retinoblastoma, a rare cancer of the retina that affects nearly 300 children in the U.S. annually. The past four years have found him in and out of remission, a battle his mother, Rebecca, understands all too well as a survivor of childhood cancer. “Kaden literally means ‘fighter’ and we had no idea how ironic our name choice would end up being,” she says. “It can be a daunting task to try and manage the daily routines of life while navigating the emotional and financial stress childhood cancer can place on a family.” In June, Rebecca and her husband, Conrad, will embark on a cross-country journey with Team Will, a Sacramento-based community of cyclists dedicated to raising awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research and supportive services. The organization’s signature “Go the Distance” ride will see volunteers visiting hospitals and participating in community rallies throughout 13 states with a goal of raising $125,000.

the adults overriding decisions shortly thereafter. It was the third day when one of us accidentally knocked a piece of art off the wall and sent it crashing to the floor. Oops! Being near the beach was great though. Sure it was odd that my buddy never bathed all week—and instead soaked in the hot tub and ocean daily— but hey, we were on vacation. In case you’re wondering, Disneyland is still $1,000 per ticket and SeaWorld has some amazing rides (two to be exact). And for some reason, no matter where we sat to watch the Shamu show, the sun beat down on us 32-degrees hotter than any other part of the day. Weird. But we saved some money by packing our own lunches, which unfortunately looked less palatable in light of the theme park’s shiny $50 per-plate fast food. But we laughed, told stories and photographed the memories. We have one picture of my buddy who tried to win “Dad of the Year” by going on the super fast roller coaster with his daughter, only to reconfirm that—yes, he still has motion

crammed in the back or in a middle spot, while their older brother and sister had plenty of legroom and chomped away on snacks. We sailed through beautiful Bakersfield and past the aromatic odors of Interstate 5. As we started up the Grapevine, we passed out gum to all the kids so they could keep their ears clear. We climbed over the summit and made it just in time to argue about whether or not we should stop at Magic Mountain (even though we already had tickets to both SeaWorld and Disneyland). We had plenty of time to think as we stopped for the fourteenth bathroom break. Upon arrival to America’s Finest City, we found the home was even better than we imagined. As we piled our bags into the house, the kids spread out to claim their rooms—only to be disappointed by

sickness. We even tried the “toss the ball into the bucket game” and the “climb up the rope ladder and let people see your underpants” game. After $42, we realized that we could not beat the system. Ahh, the glories of family vacations—I can’t wait to do it all over again this year.

have a family of four and, as much as we love each other, we don’t all like the same things. Therefore, when it comes to planning vacations, things can get challenging. Sure, we all agree on the beach—at least I think so—and we all want to relax… unless we’re bored. See, it’s tough finding one vacation that everyone loves. Last year, however, the problem solved itself. We invited another family along to stay in sunny San Diego for 10 days at a huge house we rented on vrbo.com (vacation rental by owner). It comfortably accommodated our family of four and the other family of five. We decided to drive the eight hours, because one of us has motion sickness, one has ear problems and one’s afraid to fly. Good thing there was plenty of room in the Suburban, aka family bus. However, the youngest ones consistently complained about being

habitat for kids 3 Steps to Sweet-Dream Success by Kerrie L. Kelly, ASID

STEP 1/MEASURE YOUR SPACE WALL-TO-WALL Pick your scale of measurement (1/4”=1’ works for most scenarios) and measure the room from wall to wall. Use your measurements to draw the room’s perimeter.

as you may want to hang a window shade.

CEILING Measure the main ceiling height, noting any archways or anything else impeding the space such as a soffit.

STEP 2/DEVELOP YOUR DESIGN DIRECTION Now it’s time to get creative and craft the heart of your bedroom design. Involve your child in the planning process; the design should be a reflection of his or her personality.

SHAPE DOORS, CLOSETS AND BUILT-INS Measure doors, closets and built-ins from the outside trim. Note whether doors open in or out.

WINDOWS Note window heights, as well as window distance from the floor, as you might want to put cabinets and window seats below; also, measure and note the window height and width inside the window trim, 36 stylemg.com - May 2014

Start with a comfortable bed that inspires hours of relaxation, dreams and contented sleep. Although your child is probably still small enough to fit in a twin bed, consider a full- or queen-sized one, which is ideal for reading stories together now and keeping ahead of future growth spurts. Make the bed the focal point of the room; then, add other essential pieces including a nightstand, dresser and desk. Finally, determine whether you have room for additional pieces like a bookshelf, armoire, toy chest or activity table.

imilar to your own room, a child’s bedroom should provide a cozy and nurturing retreat. Follow these simple steps to take your little one’s bedroom design from concept to completion—ultimately creating a space they will love.

COLOR Ask your child about his or her favorite colors and activities. Have them help pick out sheets and a comforter that ties into these favorites. Be sure to let them feel the fabric—touch is one of children’s most acute senses and they love feeling different textures. Next, select three hues from the bedding— a light, medium and darker tone—and use these as the foundation for your color palette for the rest of the room.

DETAILS Small details give the bedroom its unique personality. Choose a few fun pieces of wall art that tie back to the theme of the room; add a plush rug to provide a soft surface for play; try some novelty pegs on the wall to hang pajama sets, robes or jackets; and look for fun buckets, baskets or shelving to provide storage in an aesthetically pleasing way.

SHARED SPACE Will your child be sharing the bedroom with a sibling? If so, plan this into your design and consider space-saving furniture like a bunk or trundle bed. Each child can still display their individual personality in the room with color and bedding choices.

INSTALLATION The most challenging installation items include furnishings that may need to be assembled, lighting, paintings and window coverings. Unless you’re handy, leave this to the experts and include their labor charges in your pricing projections.

CELEBRATION Because of your step-by-step planning, your child will now have a special space to spend precious hours playing, learning and dreaming. Relax and enjoy!

Graduating Senior Superstars 40 stylemg.com - May 2014

COMPILED BY MEGAN WISKUS PHOTOGRAPHY BY DANTE FONTANA This month, in Style’s annual compilation of highachieving high school seniors, we give you each school’s selections for local teens setting the pace—whether in academics, athletics, philanthropy, or all of the above. Read on and get inspired by the words and achievements of these 2014 super grads.

HALEY BARKER

Whitney High School

Tell us about yourself. I am a die-hard swimmer, dancer and actress, and there is no place in the world I would rather be than in the water or with jazz shoes on my feet. I’m addicted to chai lattes, Harry Potter, and anything involving Walt Disney. What accomplishment are you most proud of and why? My junior year, I earned a spot in the highest level of dance at Whitney High School—after having no dance experience when I first started the program my freshman year. What are your school interests and involvements? I’ve been a member of the varsity swim team for four years, had a supporting lead role in the musical my sophomore and junior years, and have been heavily involved in the dance program all four years (performing in six dance shows). What’s one thing that not many people know about you? I’m horribly superstitious—I read my horoscope on the daily and I will never, ever walk under a ladder or open an umbrella indoors.

“I HAVE TO GO TO COSTA RICA AND ZIP LINE THROUGH A RAIN FOREST BEFORE I DIE.”

What are your plans after graduation? I plan to spend four amazing years at the University of Nevada, Reno, studying speech and hearing sciences and continuing to dance and swim. Who is your role model? My parents are seriously the most amazing people I know. They are so dedicated to everything they do and will never stop working at something until it is accomplished. I want nothing less than to live life how they do. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I have to go to Costa Rica and zip line through a rain forest before I die.

KALEN STEWART

Whitney High School

Tell us about yourself. My father is a doctor in the Air Force—I moved a lot growing up and attended a total of three different high schools. I’ve grown up involved in athletics, and in high school I found volleyball to be my passion. I enjoy reading, drawing, eating, paying volleyball and chilling with friends. What accomplishment are you most proud of and why? I’m proud of being named as a valedictorian candidate for Whitney High School because I’ve always strived for good grades and worked very hard to get here. Also, because I have moved around a lot and gone through so many different school systems and curriculums, I’m proud of myself for the extra work I’ve had to put in to not only stay caught up with every new school, but also stay above average. What are your school interests, involvements and hobbies? I found volleyball my freshman year in Ohio and immediately fell in love. We moved that summer and my new school didn’t offer it, but I couldn’t let that stop me, so I joined a volleyball club team. We moved again to Rocklin, where I made varsity my junior year. I’ve been involved in a few clubs throughout high school, including German Club, Key Club, and National Honor Society.

“I FOUND VOLLEYBALL MY FRESHMAN YEAR IN OHIO AND IMMEDIATELY FELL IN LOVE.”

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I want to travel to Rome or Greece and see the sites of Ancient history and mythology—the Parthenon and Coliseum, for example.

RILEY CARROLL Granite Bay High School

Tell us about yourself. I’m a senior at Granite Bay High School and am the varsity cheer captain, was student body vice president, and am very involved at my high school with Student Government. I’m a host on an internationally televised TV show called Eco-Company TV. I love my job, hanging out with friends and being with my family. What accomplishment are you most proud of and why? Probably my Student Television Network (STN) Award for the National Live Reporting Competition that was held last year in Los Angeles; the award helped solidify my career choice in the broadcasting field, and it was wonderful to make my media class proud. What are your school interests, involvements and hobbies? I’ve been involved in the Drama, Media, Student Government and Cheer programs. I’ve cheered and been in Student Government all four years. I really enjoy serving my school and being involved. I was also a Girl Scout for 12 years and earned my Gold Award.

“I WANT TO BE AN ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER...”

What’s one thing that not many people know about you? Many people may not know that I really enjoy quiet time by myself. I’m always busy and being social, but sometimes I love to just be alone at home to think and recharge. What are your plans after graduation? I will attend California State University, Fullerton, in the fall and major in radio/TV/film with an emphasis in broadcasting. Who is your role model? Giuliana Rancic! She has the career I want, and I admire how strong she is and how much she has accomplished. Describe your career aspirations. I want to be an entertainment reporter, and eventually a television producer. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? Probably Turkey and the Middle East; my parents lived and worked there for many years and I’ve heard some great stories.

OWEN MCNIFF Granite Bay High School

Tell us about yourself. I am involved in Student Government, sports and various clubs around campus. I enjoy working in a team environment, being a leader at school and making it a welcoming environment for students to attend. I ran cross-country for two years and played lacrosse for four years. Two of the clubs at school I’m a part of are the Parkour Club and the Slacklining Club. Outside of school, I work at Tricks Gymnastics teaching children how to do Parkour-based gymnastics; working with the kids is great and makes me feel like I’m making a difference in their lives. I’m also a thrill-seeker and am always looking for things to get my adrenaline pumping! What accomplishment are you most proud of and why? Being selected as the delegate to represent Granite Bay High School at California Boys State in 2013. I was nominated by the Granite Bay High School staff to be interviewed by a panel from the American Legion. They chose one delegate to represent our school at a weeklong camp where we created a state-level mock government. It was such an amazing opportunity in leadership and friendship—a week I will never forget.

“I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING INVOLVED IN LEADERSHIP AT COLLEGE.”

What are your plans after graduation? My plans are to go to college and play lacrosse. At this time, I have been accepted to a few colleges but haven’t made a final decision. I’m interested in working with people, so my focus of study is going to be psychology. I really enjoy the presence of others and being a leader, and helping people gives me a sense of accomplishment. I’m looking forward to getting involved in leadership at college. As for lacrosse, I’m looking to walk on to a team or play at the club level. I would also like to do a semester abroad; I love traveling and discovering new cultures and people. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I’d probably go to Ireland. My family has Irish heritage on both sides and I still have some family living in Ireland. I’ve always wanted to go there.

VIRGIE VELAZQUEZ Roseville High School

Tell us about yourself. I have a passion for golf! I love learning new things and am not afraid to challenge myself when it comes to education. I have learned that by simply believing in myself I can achieve anything. “Giving up” is not part of my vocabulary; I persevere through whatever comes my way, because at the end it is my life and I can control my future. What accomplishment are you most proud of and why? I’m really proud of exceeding all of the goals I set for myself throughout high school. I wanted to qualify to play in the High School Girls State Championship for golf and not only did I make it, but placed in the top 10. I also wanted to qualify for the Nature Valley First Tee Open, which is on the Champions Tour and played at Pebble Beach and Del Monte Golf Courses, and I not only got to play in it, but also placed in the top 10 again. I met another major goal by earning an athletic scholarship to a division one school, University of California, Davis, where the education and golf are ranked in the top 30 in the country.

“I WOULD LOVE TO SEE KANGAROOS AND KOALA BEARS UP CLOSE...”

What are your school interests, involvements and hobbies? I have been the golf captain on the girl’s golf team the past few years. I’m also an active member of A.V.I.D. and was even one of the club’s founders. This program helps students to become standout applicants for colleges and jobs, while preparing and teaching them critical techniques to be successful students and employees. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I would love to travel to Australia to spend time on their lively beaches! To have an encounter in the ocean snorkeling with exotic fish and maybe even sharks would be pretty incredible. I would love to see kangaroos and koala bears up close; oh, and not to mention, it would be a joy to be greeted with an authentic “G’day mate!”

DANIEL WETTER Roseville High School

Tell us about yourself. I can best describe myself as a politically-minded entrepreneur-reporter. I’m most passionate about news and politics. The former is obvious just by finding out what I spend most of my time in life doing. Both in school and out, I’m always reporting, reading or editing news. I write for a local television station, and I’m the editor-inchief of the Roseville High School journalism program. Between those two things, it’s hard not to find myself knee-deep in news. While my political views have evolved over the past six years, my passion has only grown. It’s one of the biggest reasons I limited my college search to schools mostly in Washington, D.C. With that said, I also have a very entrepreneurial mindset, preferring to start new things rather than be a part of old ones. What are your school interests, involvements and hobbies? I’m the editor-in-chief of the RHS Journalism program and news director of TigerCast News, Roseville’s newscast. I also help produce videos for Student Government that are used in rallies and other events. I work for FOX40 News as a writer and teen beat reporter, covering stories related to teens and education. I’m extremely into politics, constantly watching for the latest polls and following stories that could impact the next election.

“I’M EXTREMELY INTO POLITICS...”

What are your plans after graduation? I will attend George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and major in political communications. While going to school, I hope to intern or work at a television station or network to build upon the experience I have. I’d also like to work on a political campaign or on Capitol Hill as a staffer to determine whether or not I see my future in politics. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I’d love to travel to Jerusalem. I’ve always been fascinated by Israel—both for its current conflict and its huge historical significance in the world.

BROOKE SOLOMON Rocklin High School

Tell us about yourself. I can summarize myself in three words: passionate, driven and giving. What accomplishment are you most proud of and why? My family first attended Relay for Life in September of 2007. Our purpose of attending was to support and give back to one of the many organizations that supported our family during my cancer journey. This year I achieved one of my greatest accomplishments: I organized my own team and we were the top fund-raiser at the relay. I personally raised $2,500 in donations.

“GOING THROUGH THIS BATTLE AT THE AGE OF 10 SHAPED ME TO BE THE PERSON WHO I AM TODAY.”

What are your school interests, involvements and hobbies? I am one of the editor-in-chiefs of the Rocklin High School yearbook. I’m extremely proud of everything the staff and I have accomplished and I can’t wait to hold the published book in my hands. I have also been on the board of directors at Thunder Galleria, which is a Christmas charity function for disadvantaged youth living within our community. What’s one thing that not many people know about you? I’m a six-year cancer survivor. Going through this battle at the age of 10 shaped me to be the person who I am today. Who is your role model? My mom—I admire the selfless actions that she performs every day for our family. Describe your career aspirations. My journey to this point in my life has led to my career goal of opening a non-profit organization with a mission centered upon world health. I want to make a mark on the human population and help change lives for the better. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I hope to travel to Italy to experience the cultural differences and to eat delicious food.

CAMERON LOVEJOY Rocklin High School

Tell us about yourself. I enjoy helping people, and I believe this is what I’m meant to do in life. This has affected many parts of my life—I volunteer on mission trips every year just for the chance to make someone else’s life better. I believe that this, and my quiet personality, has led me to want to be a nurse. I believe they do just as much as any doctor, but do not get as much of the recognition, which is what I prefer. What accomplishment are you most proud of and why? I’m most proud of being ranked second in my class, and being considered for valedictorian. Ever since my brother was named as valedictorian, it has been my goal to match that. It has required a tremendous amount of hard work over the last four years, but I think it’s been worth it. What are your school interests, involvements and hobbies? I’ve been playing volleyball since seventh grade, which has been a huge part of my life. My high school and club coaches focused not only on behavior on the court, but off the court as well, and this has instilled many strong values in me. I’m also extremely into music and will play any instrument I can. It has been a favorite pastime of mine for many years.

“I’M IN LOVE WITH HISTORY AND CLASSIC POETRY...”

Describe your career aspirations. Ultimately, I want to be a flight nurse. Flight nurses accompany the helicopter on emergency airlifts, and are responsible for whether a person lives or dies in the first crucial minutes after an accident. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a paramedic of some sort, and flight nursing seems to be the most viable option for me. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? Rome. I’m in love with history and classic epic poetry, and to see the heart of the largest empire in history would be amazing. The architecture is beautiful, and from Rome it would be easy for me to see other cities like Venice or Florence, and even the rest of Europe.

KELSEY CHALKO Woodcreek High School

Tell us about yourself. People say that I’m a major social butterfly—I love meeting new people (it’s like a mini adventure)! I come from a very large family with one sister and five brothers (you can imagine there’s never a dull moment). What accomplishment are you most proud of and why? I’m very proud and of the New Student Outreach Club that I created on campus. As president, the student mentors and I reach out to new transfers students to help them feel welcome and get involved on campus. We also reach out to lonely students on campus who aren’t necessarily new but need help getting connected and finding friends. The club has dramatically influenced our campus culture. Sitting with the “loner kid” is now seen as a kind, responsible act and reaching out to the newbie in class is the new precedent. Reaching out to the disconnected and misunderstood is my passion and enabling others to take part is a dream come true. What are your school interests, involvements and hobbies? I have been heavily involved in Student Government and theatre arts at Woodcreek all four years. I’m also involved in many other clubs such as CSF, NHS, Storybook Club, New Era Club, Christian Club and the Freshman Mentoring Team, and am co-president of the STOP (Stop Trafficking of People) Club and co-captain of the (improvisational) Comedy Sportz team. What’s one thing that not many people know about you? I’m an amateur travel-a-holic! I love new places, people and foods, and so far have traveled to Nicaragua and Haiti on mission trips; Oahu, Maui and Jamaica on vacations; and I was born in Okinawa, Japan, but only lived there for two years. My goal is to eventually visit all seven continents (excluding Antarctica). I’ve got a long way to go but it’s number one on my bucket list!

“I’M AN AMATEUR TRAVEL-A-HOLIC!”

What are your plans after graduation? I plan to move to San Diego with my older sister and best friend, Kayla, and study psychology at San Diego State University (not to mention get gorgeously tan on the San Diego beaches!).

JARED HILL

Woodcreek High School

Tell us about yourself. In high school, I’ve been actively involved with Student Government and several other organizations on and off campus. I enjoy traveling, skiing, and being active in the community. My friends and family are a huge part of my life and have helped shape me into the person I am today.

“I WOULD LOVE TO EXPLORE AUSTRALIA.”

What accomplishment are you most proud of and why? Being elected ASB president. Student Government has always been like a family to me, so being able to lead the class this year has been an unforgettable experience. My fondest memories and best friends have come from this group. I’ll definitely miss it the most once we graduate.

What are your school interests, involvements and hobbies? Over the last four years, I’ve enjoyed participating in a variety of clubs and volunteer organizations. At school, I’ve been a member of the National Honor Society, president of the California Scholarship Federation, class president my freshman and junior year, as well as ASB president my senior year. Outside of school, I have acted as a Youth Commissioner on several city council boards, a representative on the RJUHSD School Board, tutored at Martha Riley Library and attended Boys State last summer as a delegate from my school. What are your plans after graduation? I plan to attend California State University, Fullerton, to pursue a degree in business administration, and hopefully start a career that I will enjoy spending the rest of my life doing. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I would love to explore Australia. I’ve always wanted to take an expedition through the outback and see the wild animals in their natural habitat.

NICOLAS VALDEZ

Oakmont High School

What accomplishment are you most proud of and why? My proudest accomplishment is teaching myself piano, accompanying choirs and performing. What are your school interests, involvements and hobbies? I’m president of the choir and I also do dance and musical theater. What’s one thing that not many people know about you? Instead of going out on Fridays, I stay home and play piano or work on lines for the musical in which I’m a cast member—I’m a bit of a music nerd! What are your plans after graduation? I will attend California State University, Sacramento, to pursue a bachelor’s degree in music education; after, I’d like to become a music teacher, band director or choir director at the high school level. Who is your role model? My mom—she’s an absolutely amazing woman who has taught me humility, respect, and has encouraged me through all of my downfalls. I love you mom! If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I would travel to Italy or Guatemala so I could see my where my roots are.

AMANDA YOUNGBLOOD Oakmont High School

Tell us about yourself. I was born and raised in Roseville, and I have one older sister. I’m a thrower on the Oakmont track team, and have been the CVC discus league champion for two consecutive seasons and am currently working toward my third victory. I have a passion for travel, and my favorite trip was to Europe with my mom, sister and nana. Other than throwing, my favorite things include naps, Netflix and the movie Forrest Gump. I’m busy at school with my participation in the International Baccalaureate program; as well I’m the ASB president. My involvement with Student Government has allowed me to plan school events and be a leader on campus. What’s one thing that not many people know about you? I’m very lucky when it comes to winning radio contests. In addition to various gift cards and DVDs, I have won tickets to see Flo Rida, LMFAO, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and most recently, Bruno Mars. What are your plans after graduation? I plan on working over the summer at an accounting firm to save money for college. In August, I will attend the beautiful Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and major in international business. I will also throw for their track team. I am so excited to transition from a Viking to a Mountain Hawk! Describe your career aspirations. I’m not sure what I want to do for my career, but I know I want to travel and be a billionaire. I will achieve this by doing something in the business world—I’m not sure what, but find me in 10 years on my private island, and I will let you know. Or, you could read about me in Forbes.

“I’M VERY LUCKY WHEN IT COMES TO WINNING RADIO CONTESTS.”

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? Although I have already been to Europe, I have not visited Italy. I come from an Italian family, and I’ve heard so many stories about it that I can’t wait to experience it for myself—the history, culture, beauty and food. Mangia!
