ROSEVILLE & ROCKLIN LIVING
This summer drop those cell phones and video game controllers and head out to the Maidu Museum and Historic Site next to Maidu Regional Park. Gaze across indigenous plants and watch the play of sunlight on the Strap Ravine portion of Dry Creek as you imagine what life was like here thousands of years ago. The museum houses artifacts and cul-
tural displays from the Maidu Indians. Each year, 15,000 area students trod ancient paths on the 30-acre historic site, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum also offers cultural programs for the community including summer camps, rock art tours, storytelling and monthly lectures.

Petroglyphs, or carved rock art, located onsite date around 5,000 years old. The site also features hundreds of bedrock mortars used for acorn grinding, as well as deposits of ochre pigments used for painting. Archery classes are among the museums popular summer programs. In a partnership between Maya Archers of Roseville and the Maidu Museum, children and adults alike can experience the satisfactory thud of their arrow burrowing into a target. Robert Moore is youth program coordinator for Maya Archers and an activity instructor for Roseville Parks and Recreation. Archery is a personal sport, said Moore, who has practiced archery for 30 years. You influence your success. You dictate in your process where the arrow goes in what you do. Some people like that challenge. Frantz said bow and arrow was an indigenous tool or weapon that Maidu began using about 2,000 years ago.

Next on the horizon for the museum is a traditional indigenous garden that would promote the planting, growing, harvesting and processing of indigenous plants.

Placer County ranked fourth in health

BY MARGARET SNIDER
obert Woods Johnson Foundation has named Placer County as the 2012 fourth healthiest out of 56 California counties. Sierra and Alpine counties were not rated. The ranking is composed of two main parts: health outcomes and health factors. Outcomes relate to low birth weight, how healthy or unhealthy the population is, and premature deaths. The culture, in a sense, in a particular county influences health factors, and then ultimately our health factors will influence health outcomes, said Dr. Jeanne Conry, assistant physician-in-chief for Kaiser Permanente Northern California. So looking at the health factors is probably the most important part of the report. While Placer County is placed fourth in
health outcomes, it actually was second in health factors, which contains four categories: behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors, and physical environment. In terms of Kaiser Permanente, Conry said, we provide access to care, we provide attention to the critical needs, and then truly ultimately, philosophically, we have a focus on wellness. Conry emphasized that it is not only access to care that is important, but also the outreach that comes along with it, the preventive health care measures. Kaisers walk to thrive program gets people out and moving and their live well be well program encourages healthy eating, physical activity, emotional wellness and prevention. Patrick Brady, CEO of Sutter Roseville Medical Center, said that every third year
the four major health care systems in the region Mercy Healthcare, Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health and UC Davis Health System get together and do a very comprehensive community needs assessment. Doing it collaboratively, you also get consensus on what the most important health needs are to address, Brady said. As a result, and in collaboration with community-based organizations, a safety net is created which identifies and addresses these needs. Brady said that an important component of the health status of Placer County relates to how the local health systems provide a whole range of health and wellness services. The idea is that we try and prevent issues well before they become significant

problems, Brady said. I think Sutter Health is clearly a leader in offering services of that nature. One program that Sutter has had in place for about three years, Brady said, helps to identify people who fall outside of the health care system, dont have primary health care providers and are part of a high risk population. We link them up with medical services and we ensure that they get mental health therapy, substance abuse treatment, and then case management, Brady said. Brady points out that Sutters urgent care center on campus can help in relieving some of the emergency room overload. We also have something called Sutter Express Care out on Foothill Boulevard, in the Rite Aid Center, where people can come in and get very quick and easy access to basic health care services, Brady said. We need more of those kinds of things that allow people to get what they need in the way of health care, but its not as expensive and also not as detailed as a hospital emergency room visit. The purpose of the RWJF County Health Rankings and Roadmaps program is to help communities create solutions that make it easier for people to be healthy, said Karen Odegaard, community engagement specialist with the RWJF. The bottom line is that all of the measures have some strengths and some limitations, Odegaard said. Its a good starting point to consider these different health factors, along with access to care and the other things. The RWJF came into existence in 1936 as the Johnson New Brunswick RWJF COUNTY Foundation, startHEALTH ed by a son of the RANKINGS AND Robert Woods ROADMAPS Johnson who PROGRAM Info: www.county founded, with his healthrankings.org brothers, the John/#app/california/20 son & Johnson 11/rankings/out comes/overall. Company of New Brunswick, New Jersey in the late 1800s. I think the more we emphasize healthy choices, the more we create the culture of healthy choices, and thats what this is about, Conry said. I think weve got to tackle obesity and the only way to do that is to change our culture. In 2010, Placer County ranked sixth in the study, and in 2011, it ranked third among California counties. Id like to see us in first place, Brady said. We have a very active, vibrant population.

Make a good first impression step up your curb appeal

BY MARGARET SNIDER
hen you drive up to your house, what does the first glance tell you? It can be like unexpectedly seeing yourself in a mirror, for a moment unaware that the reflection is you. Just for a second, you see your house as a stranger would. Does it appeal to you? Would you say to yourself, I like that house? The front landscape is the face of the house, said Victor Duran, owner of Duran Landscape of Loomis. Its the homeowners face. There are a lot of reasons for paying attention to your homes visage. As you look at the house you want to see that its welcoming, Duran said. Not only that, but its going to beautify the neighborhood at the same time, with all the different things that affect the landscape, from the workmans aspect to the resale value. Happily, if the front of your house is not quite what you want, a facelift is possible. What is important is to picture what you want to achieve, and find out how that can be done in a way that is coordinated with your home, your neighborhood, and that satisfies your creative yearnings. Some people, they go very basic, Duran said. Basic is boring. Whether you do it yourself or call in a designer or landscaper depends on your time, your skills, and your available resources. How much room do you have, how much time for maintenance? Good professional help can sometimes save you money by knowing exactly what theyre doing and how to go about it. And they have done it many times before. A walk-by appearance should be appealing to the eye. It should have texture, said Angie Figueroa of Rocklin. She

and her husband, Ronald, own Figs Landscaping in Loomis. Different plant types can add to texture, and so can color. Color always pops for someone driving by, said Kurt Voigt of Lincoln. He had his own landscaping company for 15 years, and worked for a large landscaping firm for five years. Now he concentrates on design and consultation. Color, I would say, on the list of 1 to 10 would be the No. 1 item, Voigt said. And when I say color, that could mean annual color, like marigolds, daffodils, impatiens, begonias or perennial color like coreopsis, black eyed Susans. Voigt pointed out that there are also a variety of shades of green, and different color combinations: cool colors such as pinks, violets and blues, and warm colors such as yellows, reds and oranges. In addition, there are more than plants to bear in mind, for example, driveways, walkways and lighting. When we first started out it was, just put some paving material, Figueroa said. Now you have all sorts of beautiful designs and concrete, you have all kinds of pavers. Our choices are quadrupled now. Planning can include how the house is painted or how your doorway fits into the scheme of things. Rock work, trees and fountains can add to the mix. Fences, gates and archways may be considered, as well as pots, planters and window boxes, chairs, swings, hammocks, lawns and ground covers. Lighting is a complete subject by itself. Landscape lighting in the last 10 years has just taken off, Voigt said. There are companies out there, all they do is landscape lighting. Even as a landscaper Im so impressed with where theyve gone with lighting. Whatever you decide, focusing your attention on the front of your home can be an engaging, creative outlet and yield satisfying results.

A home that is clean, uncluttered and smartly furnished is appealing to buyers.

Stage your home for a successful sale

BY TINKA DAVI
HOME STAGING SUGGESTIONS

Spend money to make money selling your home. Hire a professional home stager for a consultation. The fee is generally between $150 and $350. Get a comprehensive, written plan. Home stagers are not building inspectors. Theyre making suggestions that are simply cosmetic. Trim hedges and other landscaping. De-clutter. Determine what youll give to family members, what goes to charitable organizations and what youll take to your new home. Freshen the home with paint, but select neutral colors. Clean the carpet. Dont replace. Instead, negotiate new carpeting in the sale price of the home. Rearrange furniture.
taging a home can make a difference between a quick sale and a home that sits on the market for months. Preparing a home for sale often results in that home selling for a higher price than one down the street thats empty. Its a matter of merchandising. A home that is clean, uncluttered and smartly furnished is appealing to buyers. Staging gives buyers an idea of what the home will look like when they move in, said Ryan Dressel, owner of Stage Right Design, Inc. Only 10 percent of potential homebuyers can walk into an empty home and visualize the potential, he said. The other 90 percent cant picture their furnishings in a home. Theyre not sure how their sofa will look in the living room or if their table will fit in the dining room. If there is no furniture in a room, potential homebuyers may not know what room it is. Dressel shows them by staging
a home. When people visit a home, theyre making an emotional connection, Dressel said. Its hard to fall in love with floors and walls. When they see a staged home, theyll say, OMG, we could live like this. They look at the potential and put a full offer on the home.
Dressel stages vacant homes for investors who have purchased foreclosures and are fixing them up for resale. He also stages unoccupied homes for real estate agents and offers consultations for people who are selling their homes. Claudine Odell of Roseville works for Realtors who offer complimentary staging for their clients, many of whom live at Del Webbs Sun City Roseville. I talk to people who are selling their home and make suggestions, she said. I give them ideas such as moving the furniture around and putting things in the garage so the home is not cluttered. We all collect things, but sellers need to get pictures and doctors appointment cards off the refrigerator and tidy up their homes, she said. She suggests people sort things to give to their children, to Goodwill or to take with them. They need to make their home feel as large as possible, even making it look like a model home by giving it that eye-candy appeal, she said.
18
I bring in greenery and flowers and add bright, cheerful colors such as red or rusty orange for a happier feel. You got to give it that pop, she said. If a home is empty, she suggests fresh paint, cleaning the carpet and trimming the landscape. She creates vignettes to make the house feel like home. Thats better than walking into empty rooms, she said. Dressel sees a big demand for staging homes. Thats because the results are worth it. Of the 123 homes he staged in the tri-county area in 2011, 96 percent sold within the first 60 days they were on the market. Dressel started in 2007 and gradually built his business from staging four homes a week to doing two a day. Vacant homes give me creative freedom, he said. I appeal to the masses, not to a sellers or owners individual tastes. I always under promise and over deliver. With properly placed furniture, Dressel controls how people move through a home and how they feel. Staging to sell is different than staging to live, Dressel said. He also stages homes for photographs since 85 percent of potential buyers visit the Internet to preview homes for sale. They look at the photos and see how gorgeous a home is no matter what price, Dressel said. I showcase a home in the best light. Staging a home is similar to a job interview, Dressel said. You only get one shot at making a good first impression. Without any furnishings in a home, buyers may notice flaws, like chipped paint or small cracks in the walls. They start noticing the negative aspects, Dressel said. While some Realtors do their own staging by adding a few accessories in kitchens and bathrooms or a table in the dining room, thats not enough, Dressel said. Theyre not getting that wow factor. You dont want to leave the buyer with any unanswered questions. Hes noticed that people spend more time looking at a staged home and said that 96 to 98 percent of staged homes sell within the first 60 days. Those sales are profitable. Buyers will spend more money if the house is move-in ready, Dressel said.
Staging gives buyers an idea of what the home will look like when they move in.

An arch beautifully frames the hot tub in this Granite Bay home.
re you comfortable with contemporary or tend toward traditional? Do you get excited over exotics or do you believe a blend of styles reflects the real you? What you wear, the colors you choose or how your home is furnished tells a lot about your own personal preferences and style. Thats how two What you designers in the wear, the area help determine colors you what clients will be choose or how happy with when choosing furniture, your home is accessories, fabrics furnished tells and paint colors a lot about all the elements that your own make a home a personal comfortable place. Both designers preferences start the process and style. with a personal meeting in the clients home. I look at what they have and whether its contemporary or traditional, said Barbara Aaberg of Roseville. She then works with clients in choosing colors and furnishings that they like rather than following a current trend. And she doesnt impose what she likes but guides them in making their selections.
Paul and Maribel Gregory relax in the upper loggia of their Granite Bay home. John Caulfield Jr., the homes builder, said the couple were great clients to work with, interested in trying new colors and styles and were open to creative ideas.
If someone wants to use red, for instance, because thats a current trend, Aaberg will recommend something else if red isnt their color. I might suggest using a little red by painting a door that color because theyre not a red person. People shouldnt follow the latest trends, she said. The most important thing is comfort. Sacramento area interior designer Georgia George follows a method she learned several years ago from a mentor whose first step with clients was to do a personal color analysis of both the husband and wife. Ive been following that premise and can look at people and determine what style they fall into, George said. For instance, winter is a high contrast person, who likes striking contrasts, black and white, gray and red, she said. Spring is brighter and more cheerful and likes bright pinks and bright blues, she said. Thats the season when everything is budding, leaves are bright and daffodils are blooming. Summer colors are a little more muted, a softer spring version with mauves and gray blues. With fall, I see autumn colors, browns, rust, purples and reds. We see the fall colors in the trees, she said. Winter is high contrast, spring is bright,

continued from page 21 summer is muted and fall is a blend, George said. George has lists for each color season winter, spring, summer and fall which detail the colors, design elements, fabrics, accessories, dominant qualities as well as the persons feelings and contradictory qualities. In addition, she has information that determines what style home a person likes according to their season. For example, a winter person is most likely to choose a New York Penthouse with marble floors, glass, Bauhaus modern chrome, leather and modern art. Or they might like Classic San Francisco, a refurbished stately mansion with white walls, dark floors, eclectic mix of clean, dark antiques and contemporary simple, shiny and spare. Or the winter might prefer Contemporary

If a husband and wife are opposite colors, George will suggest rooms that make them both happy. Or she would suggest doing the husbands home office in his style. Often people dont realize what they like, but they are more comfortable in the right setting, she said. She suggests clients visit the website www.Houzz.com, which has thousands of photographs categorized by styles such as Mediterranean, Asian, eclectic, modOften people ern and others. Plus dont realize there are innumerwhat they able photographs of like, but they rooms and spaces in are more homes. comfortable I tell clients to go onto the site and in the right create an idea book setting. of 30 to 40 photoGeorgia George, interior designer graphs of what they like. Its a wonderful confirmation of what appeals to them and gives me insight into what they like, George said. Its a fun, fun website and a fun thing to do. People look at the latest trends, George said, but they are changing. The Tuscany style is going to a more lighter, cleaner look, George said. Its not quite so heavy as before. And people with more formal homes are getting more casual, with a much lighter look. Often what dictates styles are architectural review committees in new-home communities and planned developments, George said. However, people are going for straighter, plainer lines with less clutter. Whatever the style, its comfort that counts.
