clark’s in Roseville has a history of helping customers by mike hill t’s been said that no two snow flakes are alike. That in itself blows the scientific mind, but wouldn’t it be nice if we could say that about all snow based equipment companies across the board in sales, service, products and price? Let me do the footwork for you, and spotlight one very, very different “snowflake.“ Nestled in a nondescript strip mall located at 212 Harding Boulevard in Roseville, sits Clark’s Snow Sports. This family business of 26 years is often found quite by accident. I’m always looking for cool, off the path places that need their story told so in I go and meet self described “snow farmer” Steve Clark. I have to ask, “what’s a snow farmer?” Clark explains.”Well, we are just like food farmers because we depend on the weather for a good season. No rain, no food, no snow, no business.” Makes sense. Clark is the youngest of seven The inventory of Clark’s in Roseville on Harding Boulevard. (Photos by Mike Hill)

kids growing up in a Southern California beach area where skateboarding, surfing and snow skiing go hand in hand. Clark’s grandfather had early roots with White Stag and Dad with P.F. McMullin, both snow skiing apparel companies. Steve’s Father’s advice to him was if you want do something fun and make money, go into the “snow” business. Around the same time a revolution in snow sports was happening. A group of surfers and skateboarders got the idea of making a board that would be like a surf board but smaller and a skate board but bigger with no wheels which would be able to “snow surf.” A new sport was born and Clark was on the cutting edge. Fast forward to 1989 when Clark took his father’s advice and moved his young family to Sacramento to get away from the LA “rat race” and closer to where the really
good snow in California was located. He opened a little snowboard shop on Sunrise Boulevard to cater to the “new kids” on the slopes — the snowboarders. At first this group of winter rogues were considered a danger to the established skiers at the resorts. They didn’t know or care about “ski etiquette”, they talked funny, with slang that was carried over from surfing or skateboarding, and they dressed the way they wanted with no regard to the elements. In other words Clark’s customer base. On the ground floor of this new snow sport revolution, Clark’s listened and learned what their clientele needed. The best in affordable snowboard products, service and repair tuneups, apparel and gear, plus outstanding customer service. In 1999 Clark’s opened the Roseville location and has been the best-kept secret in the snow sport world. Always evolving with a hand on the pulse of the industry, Clark and his 20 associates offer rentals for snowboards, cross country snow shoes, and skis at discount prices. They also have great specials for lift tickets at Sugar Bowl, Squaw Valley-Alpine Meadows and Sierra at Tahoe. It’s truly the snowboarders and skiers Holiday gift headquarters. Stop by either location and register to win a $100 Clark’s Gift Certificate and two lift tickets at Sierra at Tahoe. The contest drawing will be Jan 31. Visit Clark’s at ClarksSnowSports.com

Exceptional Dental Care From People Who Care What you need to know about selecting your next floor covering. By Donnie Gupton Precision Flooring is celebrating its 30th year of business and has been a leader in helping homeowners find the flooring solution that best suits their needs. With our years of experience we have learned a thing or two and below we will share some of that with you. 1. Lifestyle is most important – There are thousands of flooring options, some better than others. How you and your family live on the floor will be a major factor on which floor you select. There is no perfect floor but being educated and having expectations set properly is a huge key to the overall experience. Dogs and kids add a lot of traffic and will require a more durable floor. Families that take their shoes off before entering their home experience longer last flooring. A single individual might be able to make any floor work with their lifestyle. It’s pretty simple the more the traffic that faster the floor wears. Make sure you know all the preventive maintenance tips. 2. Hardwood still rules – Hardwood flooring is still king of the industry. Hardwood flooring is very durable but there is a lot to know. Should I buy solid or engineered? Is engineered hardwood real hardwood? What species of wood is right for me? Is hardness of the wood everything? What types of finishes are available? What types of textures should I consider for my family and home? All of these are great questions and there are a ton more to know. The trends in the hardwood world are always changing. Here are a few of the top trends. Wider is better. A lot of wide plank flooring is on the market today. Board length is becoming more important and the lengths keep getting longer. Consumers are more ok with natural characteristics of hardwood than ever before. Knots and mineral streaks are now a thing of beauty. Matte finishes are being purchased more and more. The lower the sheen the less imperfection you see.

Knowing all your options and being educated about hardwood is extremely important before purchase. Not all options are good for every lifestyle and can leave you unhappy if you don’t know what you are buying. 3. Carpet is getting softer – Carpet is carpet, but now carpet manufacturers are seeing how soft they can make them. With nylon fibers like Stainmaster Tru soft and Tactesse Nylon you have plenty of comfortable options. Even your low pile carpets feel softer to the touch.
Just like every other part of the industry, durability and longevity is always at the premium. Carpet has made great strides with these characteristics as well. Solution died nylons are making carpets more stain resistant than ever. 4. Is that Laminate? Laminate is one of the more durable flooring options you can put in your home. You need to make sure you know the AC rating on your laminate so you have an idea of durability. As durable as it is, laminate is not a lifetime product and it is not easy to repair at all. The new designs available are incredible now, as it is becoming more and more difficult to tell the difference between hardwood and premium laminates. The best laminates have the least pattern repeat from box to box. Formaldehyde is a dangerous compound to bring in to your home and laminates are notorious for having a high count of formaldehyde. As a consumer, make sure you are buying CARB compliant laminate. 5. Luxury Vinyl is the new player in town. Vinyl flooring has always been a great product for the home, it is one of the most moisture resistant floors that you can buy. Until a few years ago vinyl tiles and planks did not exist in the residential market because of vinyl’s natural tendency to shrink. With new technologies this no longer a concern. The vinyl tiles and planks are some of the best looking alternative flooring options on the market. The luxury vinyl tiles are warmer underfoot, softer, quieter and easier to install than stone or ceramic tiles. The planks provide a nice hardwood look and the visuals continue to improve. Like hardwood you will see a lot of wide plank options. You get the look of wood with the moisture resistance of vinyl. 6. Is this all we know? There are a ton of flooring options out there. This is just scratching the surface of information available. Precision Flooring offers hardwood, carpet, laminate, vinyl, cork, bamboo, rubber and water proof products. Our consultants are equipped with specialized knowledge on how to select the best flooring for your home & lifestyle.

traveling through scotland’s history by scott thomas anderson The streetscape of Edinburgh’s Old Town was once called the murky fishbone, that long spine of “Royal Mile” descending from a castle-head as courts, wynds and alleys went fanning from its vertebrae like barbed ribs. Within this fossil frame of bronze brick and cobblestone once existed the men who brought western culture its most haunting memories. In 2005, a historian proclaimed the Scots had “invented the modern world,” but Edinburgh’s own Victorians understood the city’s afterglow of zealotry, vice, scheming and double-lives had balanced the Scottish Enlightenment with a dark legacy of the imagination. Today, Edinburgh offers more than just a chance to walk in the footsteps of philosophers and folk heroes: It holds the allure of sneaking down street-tunnels that led its shadiest residents to a marauding and madness that atomized the Gothic mindset, scattering their influence from Britain’s greatest novels to its most popular films. EVENING ON A DARK TOWN
To venture into Scotland’s capital during Fringe Fest means pushing through leather-clad sword swallowers, bawdy glittered pantomimes and mohawked men in kilts blowing fire from bagpipes as they rip out Van Halen’s “Eruption.” It’s a spectacle that gives little hint to the theocracy that once ruled Edinburgh with an iron noose. In 1696, the city fathers sent a 19-year-old college student to the gallows for “ridiculing” their Presbyterian faith. Yet just decades later the same sludge-spattered streets were alive with the radical views of deists, social scientists and revolutionary intellectuals taking over Edinburgh’s soul. Modern visitors can walk in the footsteps of the era’s most ill reputed celebrity, the godless skeptic philosopher David Hume. Treated as Scotland’s first walking Devil, Hume’s letters recount that one evening while strolling through the outskirts of Old Town he
slipped and plunged into a bog. The sun was vanishing. He called for help and got the attention of a Scots fishwife in the distance. But when the crabby woman approached, she suddenly demanded to know if he was the horrible “atheist” David Hume. The writer admitted the charge. The salt-lunged scold assured Hume she’d let him drown in the mud under the moonlight unless he repeated the Lord’s Prayer in front of her. Travelers can still go to the area where Hume used reason to rescue himself with an insincere communion; and the prettiest walk to it is by night, turning off of the Royal Mile onto Cockburn Street and descending to the now bog-free Princess Street Gardens. Along that twisting path stands the Arcade Haggis & Whisky House, a narrow low-key hall with rare Scotch bottles and contemplative modern art adorning its Georgian stone. The Arcade is known for European wines, certified whisky pours and that most traditional of all Scottish meals, Haggis, which it prepares as a wad of pungent tenderness – a mash of salt-sponged sheep guts that pop with dripping, juicy nuances. Exiting the Arcade, sojourners can turn north on Cockburn Street to find a tunnel of grey brick and flagstone steps that go sinking under the street lamps. The passageway is known as Fleshmarket Close. It was here, amidst slumbound taverns, butcher shops and prostitute corners, that William Deacon Brodie began the carousing double-life that would soon inspire one of fiction’s most memorable characters. Brodie was a wealthy, high-born Trade Councilor and member of Edinburgh’s Town Council. In 1787, Scotland’s capitol was shocked to learn that, by day, he had been a respectable religious socialite; and by night he’d been a flighty hobgoblin of pure vice, running cock fighting rings, cheating gamblers with loaded dice and commanding a gang of black-suited burglars who tromped through the CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

shadows with pistols, masks and lanterns. Two generations after his hanging, an obsession with Brodie’s duel-existence drove fellow Scotsman Robert Louis Stevenson to write “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.”
“On a clear day the brightness goes glinting from the jagged teeth of St. Giles Cathedral to the neo-classic peaks and massive stone columns of Parliament Square.”
The grim trickster’s impact does not stop there. One of the centers of nightlife in Edinburgh is Deacon Brodie’s Tavern. After sunset, it has all of the timeless touches of a lowland pub on the outside while its interior is a lamp-washed cavern of gold leaf, ebony oak and frothy glasses clanking in obfuscated mirrors. The pub’s menu is hailed for its wild boar and Chorizo burgers, along with hard ciders and its venison-and-port pot pies. Beer guzzlers can give a nod to Old Brodie by sipping on a pint of Siren Liquid Mistress. A stroll south under the stars from Deacon Brodie’s Tavern leads to the Greyfriars Kirkyard. In the 18th century this span of graves was the first depository of the dead to be hit by “the resurrectionists.” As Edinburgh’s professors of human anatomy became a beam of scientific progress, the city’s cemeteries were desecrated by a ghoulish
group of paupers known as “resurrectionists,” men who would dig up freshly buried corpses and sell them to medical departments at nearby universities. Heading down Candlemaker Row, along the edge of Greyfriars’s tombstones, travelers come to Cowgatehead and then the faded medieval grandeur of Grass Market Square. It’s the mouth of the neighborhood where, in 1828, “resurrectionism” evolved into serial killing. Edinburgh remembers it as the case of Burke and Hare, the gruesome duo, the ragtag shoe cobbler and boarding house keeper who together murdered the city’s indigents, prostitutes and disabled outcasts, selling them in turn to the renowned professor of anatomy Robert Knox. Decades later, Robert Louis Stevenson’s dreams were so captivated by Burke and Hare’s 16 victims that he used them as the

origin of his masterful story “The Body Snatcher.” Hollywood’s golden age of horror elevated Stevenson’s tale to new heights in 1945 as a gaunt, hollow-eyed Boris Karloff brought Edinburgh’s resurrectionists to life in his most chilling moment of silver screen brilliance. Burke and Hare are gone, but Grass Market Square still hints at their world, especially at night when lamp orbs throw coral rays along the rising, rust-weathered bricks and turret edges, looming above body-warm pubs like the Black Bull, Biddy Mulligans and the White Hart Inn — all humming with crowds as the ghost-white face of Edinburgh Castle lifts out of a blackness above. THE ELEMENTARY APPEAL OF DAYLIGHT
Sunrise over Scotland’s capital city: On a clear day the brightness goes glinting from the jagged teeth of St. Giles Cathedral to the neo-classic peaks and massive stone columns of Parliament Square. These brash marbled monuments are where the philosopher Lord Kames and the novelist Sir Walter Scott practiced law; and they’re also where Robert Louis Stevenson was supposed to be handling legal tomes when he was gallivanting in Edinburgh’s seedier pubs. Looking out on Parliament Square is the Advocate, an old fashioned bar that pays homage to Edinburgh’s judicial history. Afternoon drinking is lively here, and the menu balances beer with rump steak, hand-battered Haddock and perfectly spiced Haggis drenched in whiskey gravy. The Advocate’s no frills style makes it an anchor point to watch a Rugby surrounded by the real faces of Edinburgh. Nearby, at the Scottish Writers Museum, author Allan Foster meets groups for literary tours of the city. With a guttural brogue and a wry sense of humor, Foster pauses in front of the hospital where a young Arthur Conan Doyle studied with the doctor who inspired Sherlock Holmes; he brings people to the forgotten medical wards where Robert Louis Stevenson visited the poet who was his model for the pirate Long John Silver; he leads people past the cafes where a struggling J.K Rowling penned the first Harry Potter novel with a stroller by her side. One of the mainstays on Foster’s tour is 3 Drummond Street, a gorgeous, ornately carved oak storefront that was once known as Rutherford’s Bar. It was the drinking hole for Stevenson, Doyle and J.M. Berrie, the author of “Peter Pan.” “All three of them would sink a pint at this pub,” Foster explains. “Stevenson and Berrie were here at the exact same time.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE
The Edinburgh writer is quick to add, “Because of that history, for years this pub was a place that hosted public readings and great literary events. Unfortunately, it closed and now it’s some damn Italian restaurant.” It’s a seven-minute walk from Rutherford’s corpse to Princess Street and a tucked back tribute to Victorian Scotland called the Guildford Arms pub. The establishment’s doors simply open through time, breaching a vast parlor of chained chandeliers, elegantly etched glass and high, gilded cornicing. “It has an amazing palatial décor,” notes Chris Callison-Burch, an American who owns a flat in Edinburgh. “And it has good selection of Scottish beers.” On most nights Guildford’s patrons are drinking those brews of their homeland, including the ale by Bottlecap Brewery in Aberdeen and the “Skull Splitter” from Orkney Brewery, either of which goes perfect with watching a band like Yard of Ale light up the stage with their urgently swaying guitar and ukulele chords.

Scotland’s national poet Robert Burns memorably wrote “My heart’s in the Highlands,” infusing history with visions of damp valleys, wild-hanging woods and deer chasing through meadows, those stirring flashes that continue to make Scotland’s upper landscapes feel like a remote, living canvas. And few destinations on this windy terrain have the far-flung beauty of the Isle of Skye. One highway to Skye cuts through Glencoe, where lithic bluffs as dark as ash punch off the planes, towering over the water grass and the wide, lonely vales. Some of Scotland’s most grieving ballads recount a tragedy that took place in this very glen, when the Clan McDonald saw 78 men, women and children slaughtered or forced to freeze to death by soldiers loyal to Protestant crown. Today, the road from Glencoe to the fishing village of Mallaig winds along stone train bridges and lochs dotted with tiny, forested islands. Mallaig’s ferry breaks out for waves where Loch Hourn meets the Atlantic and then pushes slowly for the misty shores of the island. Self-imposed exile — Skye’s priceless gifts to the Scots.

“Few destinations on this windy terrain have the far-flung beauty of the Isle of Skye.” With grass growing on sweeping, volcanic ridges, crawling ghosts of fog that pass the cottages and sheep that wander from castle ruins to the lapping coastline, this chunk of the Highlands broken away from the shore is a requiem for finding one’s thoughts as cliff-side waterfalls pour into the sea. The forgotten place is also where the infamous “Bonnie Prince Charlie” – failed leader of the Jacobite revolution – arrived disguised as a woman in 1746. Sentimentalists can raise a glass to the bonnie boy’s failed cause and the price on his head at Talisker Distillery, a 185-year-old whiskey operation set on the banks of Loch Harport. And Talisker’s 57 Degrees North Scotch can toast anyone: It hits the tongue as stabbing, sea salt fire with a tinge of sand and dash of sweetness. It’s calm brown smoke in a glass. Nightlife on the Isle of Skye thrives in the town of Portree, a lively harbor where warmth emanates from pubs like
the Isles Inn, with its door leading inside to scruffy Highland cow scalps hanging over lamps. The inn serves thoroughly Scottish dishes, including Cullen Skink, a light, white cream soup chalked with bits of potatoes, vegetables and local smoked fish. The kitchen’s haggis, on the other hand, is muscular, prepared as a burly, flaminyon shaped fist of meat-mangle, fortified by “neeps” and “tatties” and dropped in a pool of red wine and roasted onion gravy. Mornings reveal the island’s final allure, clouds gripping the flinty sides of its bluffs as breezes batter its cold, spring green desolation. Hikers looking for a spiritual awakening find themselves in Skye’s southern Cuillins at a place known as the Fairy Pools. From Sir Walter Scot to Robert Burns, Scotland’s prophetic voices have always looked for grace in the mystic openness, and this gentle span of waterfalls snaking through meadows under the mountains beams with a radiant glass blue that’s outer-worldly. It’s the final epiphany from a nation that has always produced the strongest and strangest of people — a land that had always used personality to conquer the impossible.

ACOUSTIC DEN CAFÉ puts original talent, calm environment at center stage BY Lillie Apostolos
R
oseville is not known as a city packed with venues that cater to musicians. As people go out to sip on cocktails, laugh with friends, have first dates or meet business connections, one of the area’s most frequently forgotten pieces of ambiance is music itself. The Acoustic Den Café in Roseville is looking to change that by giving musicians a wider spotlight. The new café belongs to Preston Stepper, who’s been a guitar player and songwriter since the age of 15. For Stepper, everything started with discovering a book of poems that belonged to his grandfather.

“I would look through these poems and find ones I could structure,” Stepper remembered. “I started putting them to music. When my children were in high school, my wheels started turning again.” The Acoustic Den is built as an intimate concert space. With a maximum capacity of 70, the cozy, comfortable room is filled with tables that face its stage. Warm wood paneling and calm décor put the finishing touches on its energy. “People prefer something a little more intimate,” Stepper observed. So far, Roseville’s musicians are generally high on the Acoustic Den’s vision. “The focus on acoustic music is so different,” said Julia Simon, bass player for the band Chicken and Dumpling. “It’s perfect sound-wise. It’s more like a concert with tables set up to actually listen.” Valerie Kramer, of the band Mountain Shine, agrees. “Playing there was very easy,” Kramer recalled. “There aren’t too many venues out there that are for listening. Musicians want to be heard sometimes.” With his venue dialed in on booking genuine talent and letting customers soak up good jams, Stepper is now focused on getting the word out that the Acoustic Den is a marquee stop for emerging musical artistry from the area. “People like cover songs, but this venue is different because the audience isn’t expecting things” Stepper explained. “And musicians are able to play their original music.” Stepper added that his decision to make the Acoustic Den a family friendly, alcohol-free space was also in line with making sure unique musicians are the focal point of the business.
“Musicians like that it is a nice warm environment,” Stepper said. “They like that it isn’t loud.” Kramer and her band mates in Mountain Shine are among the fans of that approach. Kramer is a language arts teacher at Rocklin High School. She’s enjoyed the fact that the Den’s all-age status opens her performances up to her students, creating a small-town, one of a kind community atmosphere. She can summarize the new business’s appeal in one sentence: “Not every band is a dance band.”

as real as it gets
A group of local artists have been selected to exhibit works of Photo Realistic paintings and drawings. Producing works so detailed that they may seem to be photographs, rather than hand-rendered works of painting and drawing. Photo Realism is an incredibly demanding form of artistic expression, difficult to master but resulting in incredible and engaging works of art. Chuck Close, Gottfried Helnwein, and Marcello Barenghi all worked in this style, rendering hyperrealistic people, places and objects, often tricking the viewer with their attention to detail. Blue Line Arts will be featuring emerging artists who have endeavored to master this difficult style for the forthcoming exhibit “As Real as it Gets.” Where: Blue Line Arts, 405 Vernon Street, #100, Roseville When: Jan. 15 through Feb. 27. Opening is 6-9 p.m. Jan 16. Gallery is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursday. 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Info: bluelinearts.org
