AIM FOR THE STARS
From special services to supporting youth clubs,

discount shooters supply says it's found a home
by scott noble
orthern California is home to a bevy of outdoorsmen

and shooting sports enthusiasts, and Jeff Jordan and
his team at Discount Shooters Supply in Roseville
love helping locals who share those passions. Jordan
says the secret is steering customers to the right item at
the best value a lesson hes learned over 15 years of
working in the shooting industry.
recalled that at the time there was only one gun store in
the city. He thought he could bring additional outtting
and equipping options to the table.
I started out in Southern California, managing a couple

of stores, and since then I always wanted to run my own
business, Jordan remembered.
Jordans cousin by marriage, Wally Grossi, works at

Discount Shooters and maintains Rosevilles two
guns stores are more in cooperation with each
other than competition.
The move north found Jordan working as a wholesaler for a sporting goods distributor, and by 2009
he had ventured out on his own, founding Discount
Shooters. His mission to go solo was born from an
observation that, although the Roseville
area many hunters and target shooters,
its shopping choices were limited. Jordan
Since I opened, my shop and the other one here in town

are able to help customers nd what they need and we
have a pretty good referral relationship, he said.
It really works out well for the customer,

Grossi noted. If we dont have something, the
other shop usually will and vice-versa.
Jordan and Grossi grew up
hunting. Once the two became

acquainted, their interests grew together. Grossi

was raised in a family that hunted for sustainability
primarily bigger game while Jordan hunted quail,
fowl and other birds. Like most responsible hunters,
Jordan and Grossi view nature conservation and
environmental protection as critical to their hobby. As
businessman, such concerns are also critical to their
livelihood. They stress respecting local ecosystems and,
when necessary, protecting the game animals through
feeds and sanctuary out of season.
Hunting is not only about conservation, Grossi
observed. We have to also preserve the populations at
a level that is sustainable.
Jordans business also works to educate people about
responsible and safe gun ownership in a family-friendly
environment. He says the average person walking into
his store may have very little knowledge about rearms.
At Discount Shooters, the staff stresses the foundations
of gun ownership are safety and responsibility.
I was given my rst shotgun at age 7, Jordan remembered, and before I ever red it, my dad made sure I
knew everything there was to know about safe carrying
and operations of that gun.
Discount Shooters has recently been expanding in
size and inventory. Its newest custom-built additions
include a Yellowstone-like mural on three on multiple
walls by local artist Kent Peterson.
The expansion has not only allowed us more space to
showcase our rearms inventory, it allowed us to offer a
variety of reloading supplies, Grossi explained.
With the rising cost of ammunition, Jordan says
reloading has become a popular and cost-effective way
to offset hunting expenses. Although there is labor
involved, reloading lowers the cost per-round.
Discount Shooters also sells hunting apparel, gun parts
and rearm accessories.
If someone needs something we do not provide, we
can nd a source more often than not, Jordan added,
noting that his crew works directly with local gunsmiths
and rearm safety instructors and facilatators of
concealed weapons permits.
Discount Shooters also sells used rearms and will
consign items that are properly and legally documented. This includes helping families with paperwork

during estate sales when a loved one with guns has

passed away.
We are fully licensed and we make sure we follow state
and federal protocols to the letter when it comes to any
transaction, Jordan conrmed.
Knowing the importance of safe gun storage, Discount
Shooters has opted to be the only store in the area offering
lock-away services that comply with the California Department of Justices rearms storage rules.
Having grown close to Rosevilles shooting and sporting
community, Jordan makes sure his business helps
support the local high school trap shooting teams with
fundraisers, as well as youth shooting clubs and the Boy
Scouts of America.
There was (recently) a shortage of .22 caliber ammunition and we were able to nd some for the youngsters,
said Grossi, who loves the fact that high school shooting
teams involve a sport where everyone gets a turn.
Everyone gets a chance to toe the line and participate,
Grossi observed. There is no bench, and I think it is
great every competitor is in the match.

THE UNENDING ARTISTIC JOURNEY

Friends at Roseville's Tumbleweed & Company are a creative due
by mike hill
onsider the Tumbleweed. The word invokes images

of the desert in Southern Californias Coachella
Valley: The tumbleweed is a source of natural
beauty and a renegade icon. With high winds blowing
and sand storms hitting car windshields, the tumbleweed is ever-present in the Coahcella, rolling along
seemingly aimless, totally free and stopping trafc.
The word also brings to mind the Sons of the Pioneers
song Tumbling Tumbleweed, which is so entrenched
in Southwestern culture many cant see a tumbleweed
without the song streaming through their minds with a
ghost town backdrop.
Enter Tumbleweed & Company, Downtowns Rosevilles
newest storefront at 515 Vernon Street, which sees itself
as having a symbolic connection to the rambling plant. It
bills itself home of unexpected vintage. Housed inside
the 4000 square foot Stamas Building (formally Millers
Furniture) customers are greeted by Katy Halligan and
Sandy Bryan, owners and partners, surrounded by an
array of organized clutter and cool, old collectibles. They
have more items off site in storage.
In a former life Bryan had a shop in Downtown Roseville
on Oak Street and Halligan rented a little space inside.
They became good friends with a shared passion for
antiques and a similar gift for seeing something different
in repurposing unusual items. Bryan and Halligan called
this creating unexpected vintage. With a combined 17
years of experience under their belts, these two girls and
a tank of gas would embark on road trips to different
states, assembling an eclectic trove of possible creations
along the way.
With inventory increasing and space running out, the
opportunity for a bigger location presented itself in
Newcastle. That move brought Halligans Rusty Clover
and Bryans Olive & Rose to a larger Placer County
audience. Circumstances out of their control eventually
prompted a move back to Downtown Roseville.

In the vein of when one door closes another door opens

the ladies were afforded the opportunity to lease the newly
available space in the Stamas Building. They soon joined
forces with Cindi Valentini of Chez Flea, Crystal Young of
Simply Vintage and antique dealer Linda McGeary. The
ladies, with renewed enthusiasm, rolled up their collective
sleeves to create something unique and beautiful. Since
moving in June and opening in August it has been a work
in progress.
Not only do the ladies have their own unique personalized spaces in the building, the Tumbleweed crew also
schedules half-day, full-day and multi-day workshops
throughout the year focusing on the unexpected, such
as taxidermy, ready set vignette, paint-repair-restore
and casting vintage. They can also bring their treasures
on the road using their customized Canned Ham
trailers packed with rare items in a self-described traveling circus.

THE GIFT THAT

KEEPS POURING
A gift list for every type
of wine lover
by Roxanne Langer
N
A GIFT FOR THE WINE NOVICE
A great gift for the wine novice is Karen MacNeils newly

re-released The Wine Bible. It has all the information a
new-comer needs to know. It is a tome though, so a better
gift for a short attention span is my book, The 60-Minute
Wine MBA, which only takes 60 minutes to read. It
comes with cheat-sheets too. You can nd both books at
Amazon.com.
WINE CONNOISSEUR
OR LABEL CHASER
This person knows about

wine and likes to share
knowledge on the subject.
He or she reads the
Wine Spectator
and follows
Robert
Parker.
eed to nd some holiday wine gifts this year? Open

the note app on your phone and start grabbing
bottles of wine.
WINE NOVICE
This person likes

wine and drinks it
frequently. He or she doesnt
necessarily know much about
the subject but is open and
interested in learning more.
They read the occasional
wine blog online.
A GIFT FOR THE WINE CONNOISSEURS AND LABEL CHASERS
Consider investing in a Coravin. It allows your gift recipient

to enjoy a glass of wine from any bottle without having to
pull the cork. The best place to purchase a Coravin locally
is Capital Cellars. If you dont want to spend quite that
much, give a bottle of 2012 Carter Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, The Grand
Daddy. Ask your local wine purveyor to nd you a bottle.

12/1/15 6:09 PM
CORKDORK
This person knows a

lot about wine, hangs out at
the local wine store, can tell you
a good wine to drink for $40 that
is comparable to one for $80.00 and
can name four fabulous Cabernet
Francs from four different regions.
Reads The Oxford Companion
to Wine cover-to-cover.
A GIFT FOR THE WINE COLLECTOR
Most likely these gift recipients already have all the fun
new wine gadgets and are on an array of wine lists. In
this case, a bottle of good bubbly is called for, so give
them my favorite, Bollingers Brut Rose Champagne La
Grande Annee 2004. They will think of you and thank you
once they pop that cork. Try Total Wine & More.
A GIFT FOR THE CORKDORK, TRUE WINE GEEK
The best gift for a true wine dork is to give a Napa Valley vs.
The World class at the CIA wine school at Greystone in St.
Helena. You can purchase the class online at enthusiasts
.ciachef.edu. Make sure you get a class offered at Greystone, not the campus in Hyde Park, NY.
WINE COLLECTOR
This person tends to

know a lot about wine and
spends a lot of money on it
too. He or she will share both
when asked. They reads the
Wall Street Journal
and likes the book
Wine & War.

ELEVATING THE SPIRIT

Roseville's CB Music talks broader community
By Scott Noble
huck and Betty Price are the faces behind CB Music

School in Roseville, and they see their business as
more than just a place to learn an instrument: its a
hub for family, growth and giving.
Music is passion for the Prices in more ways than one.
The couple actually met in a college music theory course
in Illinois. Betty says that one day after class, Chuck
approached her about meeting up outside of school.
Chuck asked if I would like to get together to play some
music, she remembered. And what began as an improv
session ended up as our rst date.
At the time, neither had any intention of opening
a music school, but much like the rst date, it just
happened. After Chuck and Betty were married they
moved to Southern California. Chuck landed a job
teaching at a local music shop and built up a client list
of around 60 students before the store closed. Since
Betty had already taught music in Chicago to a large
host of students, the couple decided they had the experience necessary to start their own school.
Betty and I came up with a plan and initially taught out
of the house, Chuck said.
Eventually the opportunity to relocate came up. After
some research, the Prices decided to move to Roseville
and set up a full studio.
Roseville is very family-oriented, and one of the things
we wanted our school to be about was family, Chuck
explained. So starting the school here was a no-brainer.
For Betty, the only thing more rewarding than seeing
a student master a piece of music is watching how the
overall creative pursuit improves their life.
Above, Betty Price, co-owner of CB Music Studio in Roseville, works with her daughter, Kayla Price (16), on a piece of music for their upcoming holiday
performance of Jingle All The Way. Top Right, Chuck Price gives Neal Martinez (13) some one-on-one guitar lessons in the studio. (Photos by Kim Palaferri)

Life is about many things and one of them is service,

Betty said. We decided to start Plugged In. Its way
our kids do what they love while giving back to the
community.
Not only is it awesome to see a students face when

they get it right, she said, the reaction of the family is
rewarding as well.
Chuck agrees.
It really makes all the hard work the kids put in worthwhile, he said.
CB Music has grown to employ 12 instructors for more than
250 students. According to Chuck, the school continues to
be about more than learning notes, scales and codas.
After some reection, I felt it wasnt enough to teach
the kids how to play a perfect piece of music. Chuck
explained. It was about personal development as well.
With that, he and Betty set out to nd a way for their
students to make use of the power of their talents. They
hit the mark with Plugged In, a program that has CB
students perform in service of regional nonprot groups.
This past summer, two bands made up of CB Music

students between the ages of 13 and 18 played a benet
show for the Warriors Reborn organization at Valley
Springs Presbyterian Church. The students entertained
more than 120 people while raising hundreds of dollars
for the nonprot. Chuck said the young performers were
hooked.
After that rst show, one of the singers came up to me
and asked when the next one was, which told me everything I needed to know, Chuck recalled.
Betty loved the fact that students parents were blown
away by the performance as well.
One parent ended up texting me and thanked us for
making their child a part of the show, Betty shared. And
that really was a feel-good moment.
Plugged In has upcoming shows to support Agape International Missions in Rocklin, which works against human
trafcking.
Of course our goal here is to teach music, but it is more
than just that, Chuck said.
Betty agreed, adding, It is about developing better
people and building a better community.

Sunday, Dec. 12 and 13. Pictures run from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. For a $15 donation, guests and their pets can
have their photos taken with Santa to commemorate the
holiday season. Volunteer Puppy Leader Anne Touloukian
is always happy to discuss how the event plays into the
mission of Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Touloukian says the organization was founded in 1942 as
a means to train and provide dogs for returning veterans.
It has since expanded to the West Coast and opened to any
vision-impaired individual in the U.S. or Canada.

human for an intensive, two-week, on-campus training
session.
Touloukians volunteer group meets once a week. Its
20 members are a tight-knit group. The volunteers are
made up of families, adults and teens. Kylie Peterson,
a freshman at Sierra College, has been a volunteer for
ve years and says the group has become like a family.
She also found her calling, now working with dogs after
obtaining credentials as a veterinary technician. She
plans to nish her education to become a K9 physical
therapist.
So many dogs do so much to help people and I think
being able to give back to them would be amazing,
Peterson said.
Peterson was a recipient of an annual scholarship
awarded by Guide Dogs for the Blind. The scholarship
really helped offset the expense of going to college and
that really made life a lot easier, she added.
Currently, Touloukian and Peterson are training puppies.
Although the process is rewarding, the goodbyes are
never easy.
It is always hard to let go, Touloukian admitted, but it
does help to know we always have another puppy to train
on the way.
Once the puppy is entered into
training, the raiser does not
see them until after their guide
training is completed.
I miss the dogs, but I know they are
doing something good and are in a
good place, so it does make it somewhat
easier, said Peterson.
Touloukian says some clients become volunteers as well, as it drives the purpose of what
they do at home.
Jeff Neidich and his wife Sherril became
involved because of their rsthand experience with a guide dog. They wanted
to give back.

Jeff and Sherril got involved and, like everyone else,

with a smile.
Last year, the Pictures with Santa event raised $2,500.
Time is no issue at the fundraiser and guest keep all of
the pictures they pose for.
It was incredible, and hopefully this year we can exceed
500 photos with Santa and top $3,000, Touloukian
said.

BURN CALORIES

All The Way Fit
e all know that the holiday season is a joyful time

to spend with family and friends, but it can also
be hectic and stressful. There are so many distractions that throw us out of our normal routine, not to
mention all the snacks and temptations we try to avoid.
Studies show that the average person will gain 7 to
10lbs from Thanksgiving to Christmas. So how can we
avoid this from happening?
Here are a few creative ways to burn calories during the
holiday season.
Park further away: When going out holiday shopping try
parking your car farther away than normal. Those extra
steps at each store will amount to a lot of extra calories
burned over the long haul.
Take the stairs: Skip the elevator and take the stairs
instead, you can burn anywhere from 10-15 calories.
Decorating your Christmas Tree: Most families have a

tradition of decorating their Christmas Trees together.
Spend 30 minutes putting up your favorite ornaments
and youll burn about 85 calories.
Preparing a feast for an hour: Tis the season to spend with
family and friends so be ready to cook. Preparing a feast

for an hour can burn about 150 calories. Just make sure
not to overdue it on the sweets.
Wrapping presents: For every 30 minutes you spend
wrapping presents youll burn about 60 calories.
Cleaning and organizing the house: We all have lots of
guests stopping by to say hello so it is essential that our

homes are cleaned and organized. One hour of cleaning
can burn anywhere from 150-180 calories. Not bad for a
chore that needed to get done anyway.
Raking leaves: Most of us do not enjoying the hassle of
raking leaves but 30 minutes of this activity can burn

130 calories.
Playing catch: How fun is it to go out back and play some
catch with our children. The great thing is it actually burns

a good amount of calories. 30 minutes can burn about
80 calories.
Flag Football: A one hour game of ag football can burn

about 500 calories and its fun for the whole family to
enjoy.
Putting away groceries: Even something as simple as
putting away groceries can burn 13 calories in about ve

minutes
There are many creative ways to burn calories during
the holiday season. The main thing is to not stress out so
much and enjoy the time with your loved ones. Make
sure to get up, move and not be complacent. There are so
many activities you can do if you are struggling making
time to get your workouts in. So be creative and enjoy
your holiday season.

FEED THE SOUL
Shawn Monsen
owner
Zen Spa
he time to make our holiday gift lists is here. Just

the other day, I ran across a website Wrap With
Love whose author was touting the value of giving
gifts of real meaning, gifts that underscore a personal
relationship. She says, Instead of starting with what to
get for a gift, think about why the person is important
to you and how you want them to feel when they open
your gift. After all, there are fewer things more rewarding
in life than making someone you love feel special. Gifts
that accomplish that have nothing to do with how much
money was spent. What matters most is putting your
heart into the act of giving.
Which got me thinking, this year, rather than giving the
same ol generic, mass-produced gifts, why not surprise
your loved ones with gifts that feed the soul. Take a
minute to think about their hobbies, upcoming plans
and even their goals. Or, help them take care of themselves here and now with easy, affordable gifts that just
feel good. Following are some gift ideas that do just that:
MIND FACIAL
Its no secret that when we look good, we feel good. This

winter treat a loved one to a relaxing facial to nourish and
hydrate the skin and clear the mind. For a limited time,
the estheticians at Zen Spa are offering a seasonal winter
facial that incorporates the inherent benets chocolate
and mint. Infused with eucalyptus and peppermint and
topped off with a chocolate sundae mask, this treatment
is a skin softener, wrinkle defender and skin revitalizer.
Soothing, wholesome ingredients like cocoa, coconut
milk and honey are blended to boost your natural
defenses against wrinkles and sagging. With CoQ10, a
naturally-occurring antioxidant for cell growth and maintenance, ginseng extract, and powerhouse enzymes, this
one-hour facial will leave your face feeling tight, smooth,
and radiant, and your mind calm and refreshed.
BODY MASSAGE
Just an hour with a certied massage therapist can work

wonders. Whether to maintain health, recover from a
grueling workout or simply a chance to be pampered,
massage is a time to take stock and take care. With the

hustle and bustle of the holidays, you may just want to
keep this gift for yourself. With Zen Spas gift card offer,
luckily you can. When you purchase ve gifts cards, either
in the store or online at zenroseville.com, youll receive a
sixth card free.
Zen Spa in Roseville offers high quality massage therapy
and spa services by certied, experienced professionals.
No contracts or membership fees just affordable,
consistent service.
SPIRIT YOGA
The staff at BODYHEAT Hot Pilates & Yoga understands the

physical and mental benets of yoga. Whether trying to
cope with holiday stress check out the CandleLight Class
or drop a few holiday pounds maybe Bootcamp, Barre
or Kickboxing, the formats at BODYHEAT are designed to
give you more energy and feeling good.
This season, BODYHEAT offers an affordable 30-day pass
good for unlimited classes. Stop in at the Rocklin location
to pick up a gift card for the person in your life is ready to
check it out. Or buy two and join them.

STRESS LESS
T
he holidays are the most joyous time of year for many

of us, but for others the season may be synonymous
with stress.
It doesnt have to be that way

Its important to be aware of the triggers that can
prompt stress over the holidays and try to prevent it from
happening in the rst place. When were overwhelmed
with meeting the demands and expectations of friends
and family during the holidays, coping with stress,
anxiety, depression or sadness becomes more difcult.
Its also important to recognize the difference between
holiday blues and clinical depression.
Holiday blues are short-lived and can result from a
variety of factors such as the loss of a job, family conict
or a divorce. These events could be recent, may be
associated with the arrival of the holidays or provoked
by anxiety about seeing certain people for holiday
celebrations.
Some experience holiday blues in connection with
Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, a type of depression
thats related to changes in seasons. It is more common
this time of year when there are fewer hours of sunlight
due to the shorter days of fall and winter.
There are effective ways to deal with the holiday blues.
Consider these:
Be as active as possible. Exercise, go for walks, get out
of the house.
Keep alcohol to a minimum
Spend more time with loved ones who are supportive
Volunteer in community activities
Try to avoid people who cause you stress
Learn to say no to events and activities that you know
will be stressful
Get an early start on your holiday responsibilities
Realize that oftentimes, when the holidays end, the
holiday blues go away, too
Chris Palkowski, MD
physician-in-chief
Kaiser Permanente
Roseville Medical Center
Clinical depression is a much more serious condition

that can disrupt daily life. It can cause pain for the
person suffering the condition and affect families and
friends. Someone who is depressed might exhibit
profound sadness, low energy, a lack of interest in activities, difculty concentrating, nervousness, irritability and
frustration about small things.
It is a relatively common condition, but it should be
taken seriously when it occurs.
For example, someone who typically enjoys getting up
early for a brisk walk before going to work, and suddenly
loses interest in that daily routine, choosing to stay in
bed and having difculty getting out of bed and facing
the day may be suffering from depression. Depression
changes the day-to-day habits and functions of those
who suffer from the condition, and signicantly diminishes their ability to experience joy and pleasure.
Acknowledge that the stresses of the holidays the frantic
preparations and gatherings, the pressure to connect with
family and friends can be triggers for depression. There
are ways to beat it during the holidays:
Recognize that depression is a medical condition, and
seek professional help
Get involved in activities with others
Think about the positive and practice gratitude for
those things that are going well, and the supportive
and loving relationships in your life
Spend time outdoors
Hang out with people who have a positive outlook on life
Keep a regular exercise, sleep and meal schedule
Finally, dont forget that the holiday season is just that, a
season, and eventually it will pass.
So make the most of this time by staying healthy and
spending time with supportive friends and family.
Happy holidays!

BREWERY HOLDS ITS GROUND

local craft beer boom has been blessing and curse
by andrew westrope
hen Kelly Rue opened Roseville Brewing

Company in February 2012, craft beer was a
niche market around Roseville and his was the
only game in town.
Three and a half years later, hes competing with more
than half a dozen breweries in South Placer, hoping to
open a pub at some point and turning out about 400
barrels a year almost twice the volume he started with.
Rue was running clothing stores when he moved to
Roseville in 2000, but hed picked up an interest in
the brewing business while working at a microbrew
restaurant during his college years in Nebraska,
and his afnity for it never left him. He was enticed
by the brewing process, and once in Roseville he
teamed with Brett Ratcliff, still his head brewer, to create

the job he really wanted.
I had been in corporate (work) for quite a while, and I
have a family, and I wanted to have more of a community.
I just love the community atmosphere around a brewery,
he said, talking over a pint in his industrial taproom on
Derek Place. Where we are, we get people that walk here
from Diamond Oaks, from Kaseberg, and they just walk
over here and we know them all Its like a little family
in here. Of course we do distribution too, but my dream
was to have a place that I could come and really enjoy just
going to work.
At about 400 barrels a year, Rues company is still a relatively small operation, but with that hes staked out a
Above, Megan Russell pulls a pint Monday before trivia night at Roseville Brewing Companys taproom, an intimate neighborhood outlet in an industrial
office on Derek Place. At right, Roseville Brewing Company owner Kelly Rue stands with vats that turn out roughly 400 barrels a year, almost twice the
volume he started with in 2012. (Photos by Andrew Westrope)

place in the region. Today his beers are available on tap

at Bar 101, Bunz & Co., California Pizza Kitchen, Country
Club Saloon, Broderick Restaurant & Bar, Woodcreek Golf
Course, both Boneshakers locations in Rocklin, Craft Beer
Vault in Rocklin and Beach Hut Deli in Lincoln. Bottles are
available at Total Wine in Roseville, Folsom and Sacramento, at Nugget in Roseville and West Sacramento, and
Whole Foods in Roseville.
Aside from bottling and distribution, Rue said his business has also grown through events, as Roseville Brewing
Company serves thousands of people at HPs employee
parties and regularly provides refreshments for local
companies and organizations at private and corporate
parties, holidays, birthday parties, Oktoberfest events
and food cook-offs, among many others.
The companys ve agship beers, which it bottles, have
railroad-themed names Big Engine Blackberry Wheat,
Heavy Rail Pale Ale, Steam Horse Stout, Armstrong Amber
and Spike Driver Double IPA and it makes anywhere
from six to 12 others on rotation.
Were so small that we can experiment on a regular
basis, he said. We put them on tap, see what people
think and then they might become more mainstream.
When we start bottling, that means we know that people
like them.
In December, Rue plans to bring back a chocolate peppermint milk stout that had a popular trial run last Christmas,
along with a new chocolate coffee stout this winter.
Variety is an essential draw for his customers, but that
means theyre interested in the competition, too. Rue
said his was the second brewery to open in South Placer
after Loomis Basin, but since then Boneshakers, Out of
Bounds, Dragas, GoatHouse and Monks Cellar have also
entered the game, not to mention others in Auburn.
Theres part of me that loves it, because we have things
happening in Placer County, especially right now, where
people are actually traveling here because there are a
bunch of brewery tours being set up, he said. We have
a good eight breweries in this area, so its really nice to

get in a limousine and go around to all the breweries. We
have people actually setting up companies to do those
tours, so that would only happen if there are enough
breweries in one area.
On the other hand, Rue said, the proliferation of options
for beer drinkers has meant their money is divided among
more brands, especially on grocery store shelves, so he
isnt yet certain what the local craft-beer boom has done
for his business. But hes looking forward, hoping to build
his own pub restaurant at some point in the next three
years, a proper retail presence with food and more seating.
Ive been looking around, and of course money is a huge
thing, whether we have the money or not to open another
business, he said. Thats kind of the goal.

ach year the Kona people hold a cultural festival to

celebrate their history, heritage and, of course, Kona
Coffee. This annual festival is the foundation for the
yearly Kona Coffee Cupping Competition, which samples
the regions nest offerings from top coffee farms. For two
days these elite beans are roasted, ground and brewed
only to be slurped up in the unique tasting method
known as cupping.
Konas coffee history is rich and involved, starting over 100
years ago with the rst generation of immigrants, mostly
Japanese, working on ve acre parcels for a sustainable
existence. What they found was that the unique conditions
in Kona, with fresh volcanic soil and perfect greenhouse
type weather, created a very avorful crop. Extreme diligence and a strong work ethic allowed them to establish a
reputation that stood for quality and great taste.
The next generation focused on ways to make coffee
farming easier and more protable. In the search for
more efcient methods and a consistent relationship
with world coffee buyers, Kona farmers developed techniques that set them apart from the rest of the world.
They turned Kona Coffee into a legendary name.
The future generations found difculties with many facets
of coffee farming, from locating good labor to avoiding
shady business practices that threatened to tarnish their
name. But with struggles come opportunities to excel. Like
their forefathers, the farmers banded together and worked
through the tough times, creating even stricter standards
and higher levels of quality. Once again Kona Coffee found
itself the global leader among all coffee varieties.
Todays current generation of Kona
farmers are watching as the world gets
smaller and smaller. New challenges
rise to the surface with plant-killing
pests like the root devouring Nematode or the Coffee Cherry Bore Beetle,
which can decimate entire crops. Older
generations are selling family farms and newer farmers

are coming in with emerging ideas. The whole industry is
in a state of change. The one constant that remains is the
high quality of Kona Coffee.
San Francisco Bay Coffee knows this rst hand. It has
been buying Kona Coffee directly from Kona farmers
for over 20 years. In 2014 the company became Kona
farmers themselves. Based in Lincoln, Ca., it owns coffee
farms and mills across the world, including Panama,
Mexico, Rwanda and now Kona. This year it harvested its
rst full Kona crop and has built a coffee mill on that site
to process its own coffee.
San Francisco Bay Coffee submitted its rst crop to the
annual cupping competition to see where it stacked up.
The Crown division the company entered contains the
biggest and best coffee farms on the island. It took 3rd
place. It says in the true spirit of Kona coffee farmers it is
always looking to improve and overcome.

TOWER THEATRE TURNS 75

D
owntown Roseville held a major celebration Saturday,

Nov. 7 for the 75thanniversary of the Tower Theatre.

approached. Special guests at the event were veterans of
the famed Tuskegee Airmen, including airman, chapter
historian and keynote speaker Aubrey Matthews, along
with vets James Harris and Alvin Thomas. The Tuskegee
Airmen came to renown during World War II, a period
when the Tower Theatre was Rosevilles

the global battle via war reels. The
Tuskegee Airmen were the rst
African American ghter pilots in the
U.S. Air Force. The celebration event
also featured the Roseville High
School Band, Roseville Library historian Christopher Webber, the American Legion Color Guard Post 169 and

PRODIGAL MUSIC SONS RETURN

Roseville's BABE comes home for the holidays
By Lillie Apostolos
he boys of BABE, a band originally from Roseville,

recently came home from Hollywood for a special
Christmas time performance in the area at Harlows
in Sacramento.
It is music we can all stand behind and really get into,
lead singer Derek Thomas said of the bands progress.
Its cool that our audience reects that. We feel the
love and support from Sacramento and Roseville. Its
awesome when we can come home.
BABEs homecoming performance resonated with local
fans, partly because of its deep-rooted connections to the
area as well as the feel good vibes its known for.
BABEs back story involves its members being Woodcreek
High School buddies whose music has grown through
different stages.
We met up during the summer of 2014 to create our
rst single, Make it Real, recalled drummer and
vocalist Nolan Le Vine. So, BABE has
been together a little over a year now.
The remix came out a couple months
later, and then we decided to focus on
BABE full-time.
Dedication has paid off for the group,
allowing them to perform at colleges
and club venues across California. They
have also been showcased on different
websites such as We Found New Music,
and recently rocked Sacramentos very own music
festival, TBD.
These Roseville-grown gents croon audiences as their
jazzy rock-n-roll colors smoothly roll out of thumping
speakers.
BABEs sound is as unique as the energy at its shows.

We listen to a lot of oldies, said Trevor Sutton, BABEs
bass player.
Guitarist and vocalist Sam Plecker agreed. Our music is
honest and inspired by older music, he explained. Its
current. We realize that the best way to achieve a current
sound is to be different while looking back to
see how people have done it over time.
Most fans nd BABEs music rare, innovative and nostalgic all at the same time. Its
members have also been applauded for the
sense of legitimacy in the lyrics that oat
smoothly over their rock-n-roll approach.
While playing in Hollywood venues is
exciting, BABEs recent date at Harlows was
meant to be a night of bringing good jams
back to the familiar faces they grew up with. For music
lovers who hadnt seen them perform yet, it was a chance
to see four young musicians from Roseville who critics say
are on the rise. For more information about the band and
their upcoming shows, be sure to check out their website:
babetheband.com

TIGERS INK LETTERS OF INTENT
Three roseville high school students sign to noteworthy programs

by steven wilson
efore Roseville High senior Andrew Hansen can

follow his grandmothers footsteps and join the FBI,
the right-handed pitcher will make the most of his
athletic career as he moves to the collegiate level.
Hansen, who was one of just a few juniors to see significant time on the mound for the Tigers last year, helped
the Roseville baseball program claim a CVC championship and a CIF Sac-Joaquin Division II title in 2015.
On Thursday last week, he inked his signature to join St.
Marys College in Moraga, where he will battle to be part
of the Gaels starting pitching rotation and hopefully take
the next step in his career off the eld.
I know I want to major in criminal justice, and Id eventually like to join the FBI, Hansen said at the ceremony.
My grandmother was an FBI agent for 30-something
years, so I guess you could say I have an in. She always

had the best stories, and thats what really interests me.
Last year, Hansen was second in the rotation for Roseville
behind Adam Erickson. But the notoriety and attention he
got from the section championships helped him earn a
spot on a nearby competitive travel ball team, which in
turn led to the scholarship.
I had a tryout for the NorCal BlueJays and they saw
me work out at Folsom Lake College one day, Hansen
admitted. They saw me and then Coach (Lance) Fischer
has been a big help reaching out to them.
Their coaching staff was amazing to work with, and I just
fell in love with the school. Its a Division I program, so
that was a big draw for me. Thats been my goal since day
one, to get to a DI program and play baseball.
A trio of Tigers signed their NLIs last Thursday at Roseville High as Alyson Manzo (left), Andrew Hansen (middle) and Toni Whipkey (right) inked their signatures to join big-time programs. (photos by Steven Wilson)

12/1/15 6:10 PM
The Tigers honored another senior who will be joining a

Division I program as Alyson Manzo signed her NLI to join
the softball program at the University of Arkansas.
When I visited the program, it felt like I was at home,
Manzo admitted. It didnt feel like I was all the way in
Arkansas. Everybody is really nice and they really treated
me like family. Plus, they have a new coaching staff there,
so Im excited to see what we can do.
While at Roseville, Manzo registered a career batting
average of .420 thanks to 109 hits in 260 at-bats. She also
earned All-League honors in both the CVC (2015) and SFL
(2014-2013) and was named the MVP for the Roseville
team last season.
This Roseville program is really competitive and we really
push each other to be better, Manzo said.
Manzos teammate, Toni Whipkey, will also continue
her softball career at the collegiate level as she will join
Simpson Universitys program next fall.
It just feel so great to know that I have a home to go to
right after high school and that I can continue my career,
Whipkey confessed. Its like all the pressure was lifted off
my shoulders.
As a junior last season, Whipkey was awarded the Offensive Player of the Year award for the Tigers softball team.
But she also earned the Tiger award as part of the basketball team.
Despite only being 5-foot-8, Whipkey is a presence in the
paint for the Tigers as a center, and her entire team showed
up to her signing day ceremony to show their support.
Its really inspiring to see Toni be able to play basketball
with us, but still be able to sign with a school that she
really wanted to go to for softball, Whipkeys basketball
teammate Isabella Bautista said. Im really happy for her,
because I know it takes a lot of work.
Whipkey nished her junior season at Roseville with ve
homers, 20 hits, 18 RBIs and a .377 batting average. She
joins a Red Hawks program that went 36-17 last year and
brought home a National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) Softball World Series title.
The girls on the team work really hard and I love their
competitiveness, Whipkey added. Plus, I love the small
campus. I feel like I learn better when Im one-on-one with
the teacher, and Simpsons ratio is 1-to-15 or 1-to-17, so
getting to know my teachers is going to be really helpful

for me.
With all three commits signing their letters of intent, each
can return to their programs as they attack the 2016 season
with renewed vigor and a clear destination in the fall.

48

WEALTH, IN BEAUTY AND HISTORY

An impoverished nation keeps the world's treasures
by Andrew Westrope
t the foot of the worlds most famous citadel, which

is capped by a Doric temple of Pentelic marble and
peerless ingenuity, is an urban jungle of anonymous
apartments, shops, restaurants and ofces. Little orange
rooftops and boxy white buildings overlap each other
as far as the eye can see, a dense grid of pedestrian life
skirting the pinnacle of Western antiquity.
The contrast of modern-day Athens with its mythical
Acropolis was almost dispiriting when I rst saw it, as if
someone had erected a suburban living room around the
Mona Lisa. If this is one of historys most hallowed cities, I
thought where Socrates and Plato founded new principles of reason and ethics, Aristotle composed treatises of
human knowledge, Euclid and Pythagorus studied mathematics, the rst Olympic Games inspired international
competition, and both Western civilization and democracy, arguably, were born age hasnt been kind to it.
And perhaps it hasnt, but as a traveler I neednt have
worried that one of the oldest societies in the world had
lost its luster. Two weeks in the Hellenic Republic are at
once overwhelming and grossly insufcient for seeing its

treasures, both modern and ancient, but theyre enough
to remind one why, beyond todays headlines, the world
cares so much about this relatively little country of 11
million people.
That is to say, two weeks did not teach me anything meaningful or scientic about Greeces economy. I left with no
on-the-ground account of the lending crisis, or anecdotes
about the ner points (or even the broader points) of
reduced public spending and aggregate demand, or the
failure of export earnings and European rescue packages
to recapitalize the Greek banking sector. These words
make my eyes cross, and frankly have little to do with the
average travelers experience. Both currency and credit
cards are perfectly acceptable in most places, and the
ATMs work ne.
No, my odyssey through Homers homeland was a lesson
in perspective that started on the streets of old Attica with
expectation and skepticism, and ended there with an
urge to return.

12/1/15 6:10 PM
ANCIENT ISLES
Most people will y in and out of Greece through Athens,

and reserving that city for the last few days of your trip is
one way to ensure that no travel hiccups, like a delayed
ferry or a missed train, will cause you to miss your ight
home. The nearby port city of Piraeus, most guides will tell
you, is missable it looks best from far away, at sea but
its a good place to cast off. The dozens of ferries and cruise
ships in its harbor take passengers almost anywhere in the
Aegean Sea they would like to go, and sailing through the
Greek archipelago makes for a scenic introduction.
The steep-sloping islands and fabled candy-blue color
of those waters are a transporting sight, and they set the
stage for what feels, at times, like a journey to another
era. One cant help thinking, aside from the occasional
cruise ship on the horizon, that this was once Homers
view, and these were Platos beaches. Its a surreal and
recurring sensation in that part of the world, traveling
with the contemporary comforts of bottled water and
wi while surveying the azure Aegean almost exactly as
it looked to Xerxes invading eet 2,500 years ago. One
remembers were footnotes on the same timeline.
Of the literally hundreds of inhabited islands and islets in
the archipelago, perhaps the most well-known to travelers
is Santorini, a volcanic cluster about 120 miles southeast
of the mainland. To say it looks like a postcard would be
banal one recognizes its white-washed villages, spilling
over peaks and bluffs with blue-domed roofs and zig-zagging walkways, from almost any Greek travel literature in
the world. Accommodations are pricey but among the best
the country has to offer; in the capital of Fira and neighboring Firostefani, private villas built into cliffs like caves
have open-air patios and front-door access to paved paths
traversing the towns, with hundreds of shops and restaurants on one side and a breathtaking view of the islands
vast, deep lagoon on the other. At the northern tip of the
main island, Santorinis oldest settlement, Oia, sees some of
the most spectacular sunsets in the Mediterranean region.
Buses and taxis are most practical for day trips in and out
of these towns, mostly for scenery and history. Less than
an hours bus ride from Fira, tourists ock to the Mars-like
Red Beach, which is cupped by a massive rust-colored cliff,
and an archaeological excavation site called Akrotiri offers
a walking tour of a Minoan Bronze Age settlement that
predates civilization in ancient Egypt. Another day trip, by
ferry, will give able-bodied visitors a chance to climb what
remains of the volcano that wiped the Minoans off the
map about 3,700 years ago and may have inspired the
legend of Atlantis.
CRETE, A TRUE ISLAND
Two hours south of Santorini by ferry, Greeces largest

and most populous island is almost a nation unto itself, a
remote and untamed territory of mountains and beaches
with its own cultural history far older than the Parthenon
in Athens.
Set at a nautical crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa,
Cretes size and central location in the Mediterranean
Sea have made it not only an invaluable trade stop for
several millennia but a target for invaders: in the past
51
12/1/15 6:10 PM
2,000 years, the island has endured Roman, Venetian,

Turkish and Nazi occupations, having only just unied
with Greece in 1913.
Very little remains of its rst human settlement from the
Paleolithic age some 130,000 years ago, but relics from
the ancient Minoan society, thought to be Europes rst
advanced civilization, are visible and open to tourists.
Chief among these is Knossos, estimated to be Europes
oldest city, the palace of which is a popular tour site with
visible and beautifully restored frescoes, pottery and
chambers that inspired the myth of Theseus and the
Minotaur in the labyrinth.
Renting a car is the most practical way to see Crete, and
for all the treachery of its narrow roads as they cut through
green elds and mountain ranges not for the anxious
or inexperienced driver theyre the only way across
much of the islands wild landscape. Miles upon miles
of craggy, sloping limestone and patches of farmland
stretch between harbor towns big and small, occupied
by the occasional Venetian castle or 16th-century monastery. Many of those, too, are open to tourists, absent the
tacky modern signage and gift shops one tends to nd at
historical sites in the states.
One could spend weeks exploring Cretes countryside
and exotic ruins, but in ve days I had time for only two
of its cities: the rst was Plakias, a quiet Mediterranean
village on the south coast, and the second was Chania,
the islands second-largest city and notoriously beautiful
harbor in the north.
Crete boasts some of the most stunning beaches in

Europe, mercifully uncrowded by virtue of being so
remote, and a few are accessible from these cities. Less
than a half hours drive from Plakias is Preveli Beach, a
belt of sand sheltered by cliffs and backed by a river
that snakes through a canyon into a small lagoon by the
beach, feeding a forest of palm trees before emptying
into the sea. From Chania, its an hours drive to a ferry
that sails daily to the famous Balos lagoon, an enormous
pool of warm, shallow water on white sand enclosed by
Cape Tigani in the north.
Crete is also known for its food, and youd be hard-pressed
to nd a bad meal there, or a venue that doesnt rely on
outdoor seating. Chanias harbor in Old Town is lined with
dozens of boutique outlets and open-air restaurants, and
though the best of them are a block or two further inland,
Americans especially are spoiled for choice. Foregoing
preservatives and mass production, Cretan cuisine is
universally fresh, with generous portions and rich, traditional ingredients cheeses, tomatoes, olives, onions,
local lamb and pork, indigenous herbs and vegetables,
and more than a little of the islands recognizably superior olive oil.
Prices range from moderate to almost criminally low a
plate that would cost $30 in the states would be half as
many Euro on Crete, and taste twice as good and the
Greeks eat late, on Crete and elsewhere. Rush hour for
dinner starts around 9 p.m. or so and lasts until at least
midnight, so theres no call to hurry. Greeks respect the
theater of food and the fact that its worth taking time for,
52
12/1/15 6:10 PM
and waiters wont hand you a check until you ask. Service
isnt slow, but youll miss complimentary courses if you
try to check out early. In two weeks, I could count on one
hand how many meals did not end with a free plate of
whatever the chef had prepared for dessert that day.
A CITY OF TWO WORLDS
More than most, Greece will always be a nation with a foot

in two worlds the ancient and the modern. Nowhere is
that tension more clear than in Athens, a city mired in
poverty and debt while paying considerable expense to
preserve its antiquities for ever, and everyone.
Case in point: Greece reportedly spent close to $200
million on the new Acropolis Museum, which opened
in 2009 as a repository and exhibitor of artifacts from
the citadel that looms over it. Anyone who has actually
seen the facility would not complain; the building itself
is a work of art, inventively designed and gorgeous, a
three-story showroom of concrete and glass worthy of its
sculptures and relics, with a full panoramic view of the
Acropolis out its windows. There are more than a dozen
other museums in the city with priceless collections
worth seeing, but the Acropolis Museum is a must.
Within walking distance is the citadel itself, now open to
tourists since its antiques are safely stored. This hill and
the temple that crowns it, the Parthenon, are the most
essential sights in Athens if not all of Greece. That said,
its best to see them as soon as the gates open in the
morning and not an hour later, because crowds arriving
by bus and ferry turn the site into an anthill in minutes,
forming a line several blocks long around the base. And
because standing before the iconic Parthenon is an
almost religious experience, one appreciates it especially
in solitude, or near solitude.
As the museum will tell you, the Parthenon, perfect as it is,
was designed around 440 B.C. with precise irregularities
in mind: pillars that bow imperceptibly inward, slightly
enlarged corner columns and no completely straight
lines, giving its overall geometric structure an organic
rhythm and ow. Archeologists have found that if those
bowed pillars rose indenitely, they would converge
almost exactly a mile above the center of the structure.
Its a poetic touch for a monument that was meant to
symbolize, among other things, human potential and
ambition that for the rst time in history, a civilizations
artistic, cultural and philosophical qualities had peaked
53
12/1/15 6:10 PM
in the same era. The temples 34-foot columns and enormous friezes, glowing in pale morning light as they did
for Pericles more than two millennia ago, command awe
and silence.
But for all its antiquities Athens is not a mausoleum,
and anyone looking for entertainment, shopping and
nightlife can nd it there too. Not far from the Acropolis,
ea market neighborhoods like the Monastiraki and the
Plaka form a massive grid of boutique clothing stores,
leather vendors, souvenir and specialty shops, interspersed with restaurants and tavernas open all hours of
the day and night.
The people are warm and easygoing, like the weather,
and accustomed to tourists. I was touched to nd their
national pride intact too, in spite of recent events, and
more unied than tribal in their attitudes toward each
other. In conversation I heard none of the humble
self-deprecations we Americans often fall back on when
talking to foreigners about our politicians or other
sources of international embarrassment guns, Donald
Trump, et cetera. (I mention these because, sure enough,
I was asked.) No, they seemed to resist cynicism about

their identity, being critical of Greeces current politicians
without associating them too much with the Republic
itself; with the abiding stature of their ancestors homeland. A young man on a train told me Greece is still the
greatest country in the world, and he meant it.
Having seen even a little of Greece in its remaining
glory, my memory returns to the image of the Parthenon
towering above the clutter of contemporary Athens. On
the one hand theres something of a metaphor in it,
reecting the apparent incongruity of the Greeks, who
taught the world how to think about lifes biggest questions but are now struggling with issues as mundane
as economics. But on the other hand, I wonder at its
survival. Will our own democracy look as good when its
2,500 years old? Because Greeces history is our history
human history and locked in its marbles are ideas
that still live, ideas of humanism and ambition. Greeces
people have endured volcanoes, earthquakes, wars and
bankruptcy with pride in their history and faith in the
future intact. In them in us all, Aristotle would hold
the elemental human spirit remains alive and manifest.

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. Its 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 dont
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 vinyls
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.
