SAVINGS GUIDE
H
allelujah! We made it to June, and with a big sigh of relief, we welcome summertime’s long lazy days. Lazy for the lucky few, I suppose! Nonetheless, we seem to catch our breath and delight in outdoor cooking, farmers’ markets, baseball games, water play and oh so much more. But soon after we’ve stowed away those end-of-the-year, slightly mangled class projects, the panic sets in. What are the kids going to do this summer? I recall vividly my childhood summer days when vacation meant three months of departing the homestead in the morning, on bike, to meet up with the neighborhood crew with exploring and inventing games to span the eight-hour day in mind before pedaling back to where we came from, exhausted and sun burned. The next day would pick up where we left off, of course. Occasionally, Mom would load us into the car for a day at the water park or at the lake, along with the requisite cooler packed to the brim with sugary Tears of joy drinks, sandwiches, fruit are like the snacks and chips of all summer varieties. Boy, those were rain drops the days! pierced by I’m quite spoiled living sunbeams. here though, as there is —Hosea so many local options for Ballou good times all summer long. And with the summer solstice occurring on June 20, there’s even more time in the day to accomplish a myriad of activities. In many writings, the solstice is described as a time to be happy. “It is a time to remove unwanted things from your life…a time to dance and sing and spread joy, and be filled with love.” Sounds good to me! I can’t think of a better introduction than this for our annual guide to “99+ Fun Things to Do This Summer”-a local itinerary, if you will, including a little bit of everything, from concert series and festivals to camps and things for the kids to special events all about food. You’ll want to keep this issue handy! Until next month and in celebration of the summer solstice, follow tradition and stand still for a moment to savor the joy sunshine brings…and a few of those aforementioned activities alongside Pops. Happy Father’s Day to all the men who matter most, including my own. — Desiree

Q&A Q: What advice would you give to your younger self? A: Don’t worry so much about the future; take time to enjoy every step along the way. Q: What comes to you naturally? A: Working with people. I really enjoy being around and engaging with others. Q: What are you most proud of? A: Having an accomplished career while still maintaining balance in my life. I became a college president at age 39, and at the time, I was the youngest president in the state. My family is very important to me though, so I never wanted to succeed in my career at their expense. I’m proud of being a successful husband to my wife, Melody, and father to our three children.

ierra College President Willy Duncan remembers the days when he’d buy a bag of potatoes at the supermarket, in hopes that it would last an entire week. “I know what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck, month to month,” he shares. “I come from a background where you had to work for everything you had.” Duncan grew up in Bakersfield, part of a working-class family who instilled in him the importance of a college education. He paid his own way through school, and as a graduate student, found himself both 12 stylergbr.com - June 2016
working and attending school full-time— all while he and his wife were raising two young children. “That was rough,” he confesses, “but we made it.” Duncan’s background has given him special insight into the challenges facing college students today. Since taking the reins at Sierra College, he’s worked hard to make college a realizable goal for students from all walks of life. He was instrumental in the creation of Sierra College’s Veterans Support Center and is a strong advocate for students with disabilities. He
also volunteers with numerous local boards and chambers of commerce, in addition to being a member of the Rotary Club for over two decades. “I’m very, very blessed to have a great job [and] a great family,” Duncan explains. “I feel like I owe it to the community to give back.” — Amber Foster

WHAT’S IN
SEASON? Plums
T
he sweet surprise made famous in the classic nursery rhyme “Little Jack Horner” is back in season! Whether eaten fresh, baked or jammed, plums are a tasty addition to your summertime table. Plum juice appeals to a variety of palates, too, thanks to a flavor that ranges from sweet to tart. It can even be fermented into plum wine!
SELECTION AND STORAGE When selecting plums from your local PlacerGROWN farmers’ market, choose fruits with a rich color and a slight whitish bloom, indicating that they haven’t been handled excessively. Plums are ready to eat when they yield to gentle pressure and are slightly soft at their tip. For storing not yet ripe plums, leave them at room temperature. Keep in mind: This fruit tends to mature quickly, so be sure to check on them often. Once ripe, they can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. If you would like to store them in the freezer for a longer shelf life, remove their stone pits. — Carol Arnold For details on where to buy Placer County farm-fresh produce, wine, meat

ask the expert CPAs are available year-round and present great opportunities for taxpayers to connect with their trusted advisor and strategize tax goals for the current and following years. Most life situations can trigger various tax effects, and seeking proper advice will help you make better-informed decisions. Are you changing jobs? Did your filing status change? Looking to sell your principal residence or rental property? Are your kids preparing for or heading off to college? For business owners, adding strategy sessions and keeping up-to-date accounting records are key components to understanding financial health and your cash flow. I recommend at least mid-year or end-of-year tax planning to answer any questions in advance, make any necessary changes prior to year-end, and secure proper business deductions. —Paul Lee, CPA Principal PSG Certified Public Accountants 9257 Sierra College Boulevard, Suite B, Roseville 916-791-3120, psgcpas.com
DID YOU KNOW? These round, oval and sometimes heart-shaped fruits are extremely high in potassium (113 milligrams per medium-sized plum), which can lower blood pressure. Plums can also help maintain a low glycemic index score and deter unhealthy spikes in blood sugar levels—all while remaining sweet to the taste—making them the perfect fruit for those with type 2 diabetes. Drying plums into prunes is another beneficial option. With a chewy texture and high fiber content—which influences gastrointestinal regularity and provides protection that can decrease the risk of colon cancer and hemorrhoids—prunes are rich in antioxidants; eating three to four a day may neutralize cell-damaging free radicals that affect memory. and other products, visit placergrown. org and foothillfarmersmarket.com.

Memphis Southern Kitchen
I
f you ever find yourself wandering the Galleria food court with hunger pangs after a long day of shopping (it’s a real calorie-burner, ya know!), take a brief moment to press pause and refuel with some mouthwatering Southern-style comfort food at Memphis Southern Kitchen. Deciding what to order took some time with so many appetizing options—from chicken and waffles to fish ‘n’ chips and jambalaya—but my sights zeroed in on the Shrimp Po’Boy. Soon after, I welcomed the arrival of a warm hoagie roll piled high with crispy Cajun-fried shrimp and dressed with onions and peppers—with a side of Crinkle Cut Fries to boot. Shoppers feeling extra hungry can mix-and-match a meal/entrée with home-baked side dishes, such as collard greens, fried green tomatoes, onion rings and fried okra. If wangs (wings) and fries are calling, you can “choose your flavor” from a long list of options like garlic Parmesan and mango habañero. Dessert lovers won’t be disappointed either, thanks to traditional Southern sweets such as peach cobbler, sweet potato pie, banana pudding and various flavors of cake. Once you get a taste of Memphis, I reckon you’ll be traveling back for more. Memphis Southern Kitchen, 1151 Galleria Boulevard, Roseville, 916-771-3788. — Allyson Ashmore

“Paul Martin’s American Grill doesn’t mess around when it comes to mixology.

“Avocado in a cocktail sounds strange, right? But credit Jacquie, the bar manager at Granite Bay Alehouse (formerly Pete’s of Granite Bay), for coming up with this surprisingly delicious and refreshing concoction called The Morning After. She muddles avocado, basil, lime and orange, and then adds a little triple sec and OJ, before finishing with mango rum. The result is a perfect summertime sipper.” 916-797-4992

“People say, ‘I really don’t like cats, why should I support you?’ Well, that’s a good reason to support us,” jokes Joy Smith, co-founder and director for FieldHaven Feline Center in Lincoln. Certainly not just cat lovers will be at Classics, Cats & Cabernet on June 11 from 4-8 p.m. Highlights like sangria snow cones and hot fudge sundaes would lure just about anyone. The cat shelter’s biggest fund-raising event of the year boasts dinner and a variety of drinks, too—both included in the ticket price. In addition, a horse barn’s stalls are decorated and turned into individual wine tasting rooms; restored or mint-condition classic cars, boats and

trailers are parked on FieldHaven’s beautiful, shaded grounds; while pulled pork sandwiches, exciting auction items and a DJ turn the family-friendly evening into a fullblown summer affair. “It’s at least tripled in size since [our first event]. It just keeps getting better and better,” says Smith. FieldHaven supports a variety of efforts— not just adoptions. The center also spays and neuters feral cats, microchips pets, bottle feeds orphaned kittens, aids the community with cat behavior issues, finds forever ranches for barn cats, and socializes rescues with the most tragic of stories.

jenn norpchen Gourds with Gusto by Heather L. Becker
22 stylergbr.com - June 2016
trained designer with an art minor, I’m able to use or make my own products.
Doo Doo Chicks
HLB: What were you like as a young artist? JN: Inquisitive, creative and always checking my surroundings; [noticing] how color changes with the angle of the sun, cloudy days and color; collecting rocks, glass, crystals and driftwood. I was also a very good illustrator, and people always wanted me to draw them.
My Little Brood
HLB: What inspires you most? JN: The hunt of the gourd. I can be out for Crow Bars
hours and not realize the time. The same goes for when I’m looking for wood to which some of my gourds are perched on, which again speaks on organic and how I like to use organic materials on my work; also, symbiotic or artful interactions.
HLB: How do you approach artist’s block? JN: Any setbacks or blocks I get, I leave my studio to go for a hike or a paddle and oxygenate my body and brain. It helps.

F
or Granite Bay artist and teacher Jenn Norpchen, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of the hunt for the perfect gourd. Searching for them herself, she’ll often spend hours exploring some of her favorite spots, including Davis Ranch in Sloughhouse. “I look for nonblemished, light-tanned gourds—those are usually the best,” says Norpchen. “I stand them up, look for symmetry and thump them for thickness. I then see their future!” The artist’s finished pieces— whimsical works of animals and creatures, seemingly plucked straight from dreams and make-believe—are nothing short of spectacular. The recognized award-winner from the California Gourd Society— who also creates custom sculptures—will have her works on display at Knock on Wood (thru June 29) at the Old Town Gallery of Fine Art in Auburn. You can also view her creations soon at High Hand in Loomis, as well as the Crocker Art Museum.
HLB: What attracts you to gourd art and what challenges do they present? JN: I see gourds as an organic canvas or a living organism that I can bring to life. The shape dictates how I’m going to respond to the development of the piece. The biggest challenge is the quality of the gourd and how it can withstand the armatures, metal sculpture and weight of the polymer clay I’m using. They have to be checked for thickness with few to no abrasions. A good, healthy gourd makes it easier to complete the piece without any ramifications.
HLB: What’s the best artistic advice you’ve been given? JN: Comments from the public. My art makes them laugh, and it [brings me great joy] to receive updates after someone buys a piece—where they placed it in their homes, and of course the name they give to my artwork.
HLB: What are your future goals? JN: To continue my work; grow, learn and share; and be content with whatever life puts in my way.

jen-norpchen.squarespace.com
HLB: How have you been influenced by your interior design and fine arts background? JN: The discipline as an interior designer has instilled quality control, constant and earnest effort of quality work, and knowledge of the various mediums learned in fine arts, color theory and ceramics. There are so many new art products today, but as a

school—becoming the first person in her family to do so. Victories are aplenty, even if unclear at first, as Kelly Holliman, a volunteer from Lincoln describes. “I had one child who I thought I couldn’t connect with very well for six months. When the case was closed, the child asked their mother if they’d still get to see me every week…talk about a rewarding outcome; not only for the child, but [also the fact that] I connected with
them when I didn’t even think I had.” These children value the presence of a responsible, caring adult in their lives. “[My CASA] worked hard to get me back home and he never gave up,” says one. “She’s there for me every single time I call to talk to her ‘cause I need her,” says another. Sometimes it doesn’t take a village—it only takes one.

n the U.S., nearly 57,000 young people make up the child welfare system. Placer County has about 300 cases currently. What happens to these youngsters who are left to navigate the juvenile justice system without proper support? They get CASAs—Court Appointed Special Advocates—who were born from the lack of sufficient information and representation of abused and neglected children in juvenile courtrooms. To address the problem closer to home, Child Advocates of Placer County was started in 2004 to establish the CASA program for the Placer County Juvenile Dependency Court and the Placer Mentor program. As of 2015, CASA volunteers and mentors were provided to 447 foster children and 101 at-risk youth and former foster youth. Their goal is to increase allaround community wellness. “We want to see our youth make better life choices, and become happy, stable and contributing adults; we want parents to reunify with their children and rebuild families; and we want our volunteers to come away with a feeling of the joy that comes from ‘giving back’ in a meaningful way,” says Megan Boespflug, development director at Child Advocates of Placer County. The Placer Mentor program provides mentors for children who are at-risk of entering the juvenile or welfare systems, former foster youth transitioning into adulthood, and parents developing life skills to be able to reunite with their children. Through their programs, Child Advocates of Placer County finds permanent or stable homes, helps prevent drug and alcohol use and teen pregnancies, increases high school graduation rates, and brings employment opportunities to local youth. Cathy SooHoo from Roseville has served eight children in court as a CASA, and mentored one family. “The biggest challenge is watching the kids change schools, family homes or foster homes multiple times,” she shares. “One of my kids said ‘I feel like a piece of furniture, moving from house to house.’ I am just fortunate to be the constant in their life.” SooHoo tells of another child who was removed from her parents’ home, placed with her grandma, and moved into foster care once her grandma passed away. “At the time, she was so scared,” SooHoo recalls. But with her support, the child graduated high

retreat to bliss Step Up Your Outdoor Space: 3 Ways by Kerrie L. Kelly, ASID
W
hether curating an outdoor kitchen or reconstructing a beautiful new deck, something about the warm weather makes the team here at Kerrie Kelly Design Lab want to blur the lines between the indoors and out with beautiful design and fashion-forward functionality. Living in Cali, it’s key to create an inviting, curated space for outdoor entertaining. Here are a few ways to add fashion-forward function to your backyard for the perfect outdoor sanctuary.
1 / GRAB A GRILL Whether you’re cooking up ribs for a family birthday party, or grilling lobster for two, a barbecue is the star of the outdoor kitchen. We love ones made of stainless steel, because they’re easy to clean and withstand the heat of the outdoors. Make sure to find a grill equipped with features that you know you’ll need—like plenty of space for multiple entrées or a griddle area for carefully cooking veggies or fish. Choose a few complementary appliances to go with it too, like a wine fridge or prep area.
2 / FABULOUS FABRICS Another key aspect of the perfect outdoor entertainment area is the fabric used on cushions and pillows. Fabrics like Sunbrella are durable, heat-resistant and easy to clean, making them the ideal finish for your favorite chaise or outdoor seating. Create a comfy dining or sitting area that mimics indoor living with multiple cushions and pillowss.

3 / ACCESSIBLE ACCESSORIES Last but certainly not least, outdoor kitchens and dining areas need accessories to spice up the space. Elements like area rugs, placemats, linens, lighting and entertainment systems go a long way. Choose an outdoor rug that’s both comfortable underfoot and beautiful to look at, and complement it with placemats and dining ware that matches your style. Outdoor lighting is also a must for when entertaining goes into the wee hours. We love the way outdoor floor lamps look next to cushioned spaces. Finally, always remember to have a few extra candles for ambiance!

beat the heat 5 Tips to Protect Pets by Kourtney Jason
they should always be in air conditioning or brought out of the car with you. If you’re flying with pets, either bring them into the cabin with you if allowed, or make sure your airline takes precautions to control the temperature of the cargo area they’ll be held in, as well as any areas their crates will be stored during layovers and flight changes. Make sure they’ll have access to water at all times and be checked on during transport.”
3 / Keep cool with shade and water For both indoor and outdoor pets, it’s always a good idea to have fresh water and shaded areas available at all times, says Jason Davis, “The Dog Guy,” co-owner of Folsom Dog Resort and Training Center. Even when you’re not home, keeping the house cool is also beneficial for your pets.
A
s temperatures reach triple digits, humans aren’t the only ones looking for ways to escape the heat. Just like us, pets can experience heat exhaustion and even get sunburned— “especially on their ears and noses,” explains Dr. Barbara Laderman Jones, DVM, director of veterinary services at Placer SPCA. “Dogs and cats with light-colored fur (white) are more susceptible to skin cancer.” Specific breeds are also at higher risk in the hottest months. “Older, obese or short-nosed dogs—pugs, bulldogs, Boston terriers, pekingese, boxers, shih tzus and French bulldogs—are less tolerant of heat; [along with] older dogs, puppies and dogs with health issues...of course, you should keep a close eye on your dog in the heat, no matter what her breed, age or state of health is,” Dr. Laderman Jones says, by following the five tips below.
jogging with your pet is a poor idea in high heat and especially humidity.”
1 / Adjust the times of daily walks
degrees in less than 30 minutes,” explains Dr. Brad Cahoon, DVM, CVA, owner of Veterinary Healing Centers. “On [a] 100plus degree day, the inside of a car can reach over 130 degrees very rapidly. Pets should never, under any circumstances or for any amount of time, be left inside a parked car. If you have to travel with them,
“Walk your dog during the cooler hours of the day—i.e., early morning and evening,” Dr. Laderman Jones says. “If exercising in the heat, be mindful that your dog can’t easily tell you when he/she has had enough. Shorten walks. And in general, 32 stylergbr.com - June 2016
2 / Make proper travel arrangements “The inside of a car, even on a mild 70 degree day, can reach upwards of 90-100
“Excessive panting or drooling, increased heart or respiratory rate, weakness, disorientation and collapse are all signs of heat stroke in pets,” Dr. Cahoon says. “Stop what you’re doing immediately and seek veterinary care if any of these are noted. Try putting cool water on the pads of their feet and in their groin/armpit areas, but caution must be taken not to cool them down too quickly. Shock and organ damage can occur from them overheating, as well as from too rapidly cooling them off.”
5 / Beware of mosquitoes “With warm weather come mosquitoes, which transmit deadly heartworm infections to dogs,” Dr. Cahoon says. “Take them to your vet for heartworm testing annually, and keep them on heartworm preventive care year-round. Fleas and ticks are also common this time of year, so using quality flea and tick prevention is very important. Make sure if you take your pet on hikes or around water that you’re keeping them safe from the elements and wildlife. Being careful in the heat means a summer of fun for you and your pet!”

In 2006, the eatery expanded to launch a trattoria and bar, and patrons are just as enthusiastic about the dinner options.

Dijon mustard 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice 1/2 tsp. maple syrup, grade B 2 tbsp. Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar 1/4 cup roughly chopped chives 1 1/2 tbsp. toasted sesame oil 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 1/2 cups thinly sliced sugar snap peas 2 1/2 cups finely shredded Napa cabbage 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes 1 1/2 cups thinly shaved watermelon radish or other radish 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted 1 lemon, cut into quarters Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, plus Maldon sea salt for finishing
In a medium bowl, whisk together the tamari, white wine, ginger, grated garlic, 1 teaspoon of the fines herbes, grapeseed oil, and black pepper. Add the chicken, turning several times to evenly coat it. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours. For the vinaigrette, cook the egg in boiling water for 7 minutes.

Next, preheat the grill to 450 degrees, or place an indoor grill pan or heavy-cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 2-3 minutes per side, until grill marks form and the internal temperature registers at least 165 degrees. If using a charcoal grill, create a two-zone fire, with all the coals on one side. Cook the chicken for about 2 minutes per side, then move it to the cool side of the grill, covered, to finish cooking through, if necessary. Remove the chicken from the grill, and allow it to rest before slicing on the bias into bite-size pieces. The chicken can be made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight, if desired. In a large serving bowl, toss the chicken, peas, cabbage, tomatoes, and radish with the desired amount of vinaigrette. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, Maldon sea salt, and black pepper. Serve with lemon wedges on the side. Serves 4.

Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride
It’s dark, way too early, and my heart is thumping; after 10 minutes on winding dirt roads, our driver stops in a field that’s filled with hot air balloons—each one marked with different colors and company names. He parks in front of a ruby-hued blimp and tells us to disembark. Cold and nervous, I’m tempted to ask if I can stay buckled up inside the van, where it’s warm and seems safe. But then I remember that I’m in Turkey—and you only live once—so I say a little prayer, then jump out of the vehicle and into the balloon basket.

ouching down in Turkey, my expectations were a blank slate. What I quickly discovered is the vast land—slightly larger than Texas, with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern neighbors—boasts a history as rich as baklava and a vibrant patchwork of people (some of the kindest you’ll ever meet), places and culture, with a cuisine that’ll leave you hungry for more.

Spanning two continents—Europe and Asia—and sited along the Bosphorus, Turkey’s largest city 54 stylergbr.com - June 2016
is home to roughly 18 million and has plenty of sights—and hammams (bath houses)— to soak in.
1 / You’ll feel right at home the moment you enter Vault Karaköy, The House Hotel. Blending classic and contemporary features, the boutique property—housed within an old bank whose original vault still exists in the hotel’s wine cellar—is located in one of Istanbul’s hippest hoods, with easy access via foot to popular tourist destinations such as Galata Tower, the Spice Market, Istikal Street and the Bosphorus waterfront. 2 / The Turks take their morning meal seriously, and Vault Karaköy’s doesn’t disappoint. Rise and shine with an impressive spread of fresh-squeezed juices (my fa-

GETTING THERE Fly direct from San Francisco to Istanbul on Turkish Airlines. Although a lengthy 12 hours, the carrier is consistently voted “Europe’s Best Airline” and for good reason—the meals are actually edible (with free booze to boot), service is impeccable, in-flight entertainment worth tuning into, and seats (even in economy) comfier in comparison to other long-haul flights. Prior to taking off or post landing, take advantage of the Inn at Oyster Point’s “Park and Fly” package, which includes one night of ZZZs, complimentary airport shuttle service and parking for up to 14 days. turkishairlines. com/en-us; innatoysterpoint.com

Hike to Göreme
mosque-turned-museum that dates back to 537 AD), wandering through Topkapi Palace (one of the major residences of the Ottoman sultans between the 15th and 19th centuries) and exploring the enormous expanse of labyrinthine alleys at the Grand Bazaar (one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world). A personal tour guide guarantees you won’t get lost and are shown around by someone with a wealth of knowledge and genuine passion for the place they live; what’s more, they always know the best “local” spots to dine and can help when haggling at the bazaar.
4 / If there’s one activity that should immediately soar to the top of your bucket list, let it be a sunrise hot air balloon ride. Climbing over craggy canyons, cone-shaped configurations and pink mountains in a flame-fueled balloon basket, as the sun awakens and creeps higher and higher above the horizon, you’ll literally be floating on cloud nine.
To drink one cup of coffee together guarantees 40 years of friendship. —Turkish proverb
CAPPADOCIA Just 90 minutes by plane from Istanbul, you’ll be swept into what feels like an extraterrestrial planet— a place whose lunar landscape is dotted with “fairy chimneys” (rock formations created by volcanic eruptions) and serpentine valleys with undulating cliffs in a rainbow of colors. Welcome to Cappadocia, where luxury boutique inns are built into ancient cave dwellings (we recommend the Museum Hotel, featuring in-room wine taps, supernatural views and service fit for a sultan), subterranean cities—where up to 10,000 Christians hid from hostile forces—can still be explored today, and plenty of outdoor adventures await.
5 / Despite the region’s barren-looking land, the soil is richly fertile, thus yielding the cream of the crop when it comes to produce, meat and dairy. And there’s no better way to experience true Turkish cuisine than by taking a cookery class with Cappadocia Home Cooking. Upon entering the traditional stone dwelling of Tolga, Tutba and Havva, you’ll be welcomed with open arms—and plenty to eat. As Grandma guides you through a bevy of traditional dishes, she allows you to chop, sauté, stir and more—all the while making you feel like family.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Fit Eats offers fresh, healthy, chef-prepared meals that are available for delivery throughout the Greater Sacramento region or convenient pick-up in both our Roseville and Midtown locations. I created the concept after working within the nutrition industry where I learned that the greatest complaints for the ability to eat healthy lie in the lack of time and flavor. I believe healthy doesn’t have to compromise enjoyment, so our menu changes weekly. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? Being the owner of Fit Eats allows me to give back to my community and support nonprofits that are close to me, while customer success stories motivate me every day. When we hear stories of our food changing people’s lives and helping their everyday routine, it makes our work meaningful. We even had a customer tell us we saved their life when they lost over 150 pounds by eating Fit Eats combined with working out routinely. Why is your staff the best in the business? The food industry is a passion industry. Our staff works well as a team, loves what they do and takes pride in their work. We continuously receive compliments on how friendly and helpful our staff is to our customers. What’s your biggest job perk? Being around good food every day! Fit Eats allows me to never have to grocery shop, cook or clean. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? I love Mikuni—their sushi is always the best. If you could work be any other profession, what would it be? I’d be a pilot. I currently have my private license and think it would be awesome to be able to get paid to fly and travel the world. And finally, customer service is…? Being friendly and going above and beyond what’s necessary to exceed customer satisfaction.

Did you find your business, or did it find you? We provide a unique veterinary service in non-anesthetic teeth cleaning for dogs and cats. By integrating the use of animal behavior techniques, soothing music and relaxing aromatherapy, we help prevent periodontal disease and keep the heart, liver and kidney healthy. Our safer, more affordable method of pet dental care eliminates the dangers of anesthesia. My love of animals and professional experience in holistic health collided when I started praying for a purposeful life and was given this opportunity with The Natural Pet Tooth Fairy. It’s a blessing to experience—on a daily basis—the joy of clients and pets benefiting from our services. What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience? My first job was working with holistic doctors. I learned the importance of a proactive health approach in preventing problems versus treating disease after it occurs. Why is your staff the best in the business? Our five-star customer rating speaks for itself! We’ve chosen people with a great love and passion for animals. They’re not only qualified and highly trained, but also able to maintain a calm demeanor while working with animals. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? When I see the standards I’ve set forth in working hard— living with integrity and maintaining strong values—reflected in my nine-year-old daughter. Where do you go when the going gets tough? I find my strength in prayer. God has carried our family through fierce storms and given us victories over seemingly impossible circumstances. What’s your biggest job perk? I have the only job in the world where it’s okay to hug and kiss your patients! What’s your favorite local business other than your own? Western Feed and Pet Supply—they’re friendly and knowledgeable and carry premium brand dog food.

I
had a pretty awesome backyard growing up. It wasn’t huge; it didn’t have a pool. My mom had this ridiculous azalea bush that consumed baseballs and even more lawn with every passing season. My dad’s barbecue wasn’t gas; he used briquettes, and they only seemed to ignite once he started cussing at them. I learned to throw a ball in that backyard. If I needed space, I had a tree to climb. There was a gigantic, bustling ant hill back by my dad’s horseshoe pit, near the ruins of an old swingset that seemed just as rusty and dangerous when it was new. There was a hose to drink from when I got thirsty, a sprinkler to run through if it got hot and, despite my mom’s azaleas, plenty of lawn to
The Beauty of Backyards by Tom Mailey
lay on—a lawn I eventually learned to mow while my dad supervised from the patio with a can of Oly in his hand and a Mariners game on a buzzy old portable radio. The American backyard didn’t start off as a place for a kid to spend his idle hours or a retreat for busy parents. Originally, it was a space for practical things: growing food, hanging laundry, storing garbage, keeping animals and, of course, the outhouse had to go somewhere. When cars first came along, the garage was often located back there, too. Know why? Because of the notcompletely-unfounded fear that those newfangled combustion engines might explode. The backyard was, as one historian put it, “all business.” Until the ‘50s, the backyard was a place you were more likely to catch tetanus than a few ZZZs. FOR MORE TOM’S TAKES, VISIT STYLERGBR.COM.

on lawn chairs sipping iced tea. That was the idyll, anyway. Some of it may have even been true. Or, at least, true enough that we’ve embraced the notion of the backyard as our personal refuge for over six decades now. In that time, simple grills have morphed into outdoor kitchens with pizza ovens; patios are now full-blown entertainment centers. You can have a pool that makes an alpine lake look like a mud puddle and there are sport courts that could host an NBA game. My own yard has no less than seven different kinds of fruit trees, a vegetable garden, a tool shed, a fire pit and a duck. Yes, a duck. But that’s a different story. My point is, while all that is well and good—hey, if you can watch first-run movies under the stars while munching on a flatbread pizza you just pulled from your wood-fired oven, why wouldn’t you?—the backyard doesn’t have to be
a theme park. Because ultimately, a good backyard isn’t about “stuff.” It’s about a place for peace of mind. It’s for relaxing, whether that’s on canvas folding chairs from Sports Authority or teak recliners from Ikea. It’s for entertaining, whether at that old shed you’ve converted into a miniature Irish pub or on a patio slab with a few burgers grilling on a hibachi. For all its permutations, the backyard is still simply one of the best spots in the world to sip a cold one, read a book, daydream, teach a kid to throw, raise veggies, and let Mom’s azaleas get a little out of control. And there is no better place for listening to ball games than on old buzzy radios.
