Unending
pet support
BY SCOTT NOBLE
MarQueen takes
the worry away for
four-legged friends
grew weary of the long hours their separate careers were demanding. The couple
missed spending a lot of time together.
Miller was working in finance. Queen
was following her calling for veterinary
work. Both were logging very long hours
on different schedules. When they finally
decided to merge Millers business acumen with Queens medical expertise,
they knew they were on the verge of having a perfect solution.
Now we work long hours together,
Miller explained with a chuckle.
MarQueens emergence as a specialty
pet clinic is built on offering specific disciplines in care and a variety of doctors

who are experts in their field. While general care is available at the center, Miller
stressed the technological advances it
embraces sets it apart.
Years ago, there was only so much that
could be done by a veterinarian, he observed. But now more specialized procedures are readily available to people looking for more detailed care for their pets.
MarQueen veterinary roster includes
pet surgeon Dr. Peter Walsh, a leader in
his field, Dr. Deb Morey, an emergency and critical care specialist (think an
ER doctor who treats life threatening
conditions), Dr. Lori Siemens, a pet cardiologist and Dr. Marilyn Koski, an ex-

Planets TV show, Emergency Vets. Fitzgerald paid the Granite Bay clinic a visit
told the couple he was impressed.
Dr. Fitzgerald is a passionate guy and
liked what he saw here, Miller remembered. He is a big proponent of specialty
medicine for animals.
When MarQueen Pet Clinic finishes
its new expansion there will be a total of
eight exam rooms to assist in that kind
of specialization, as well as an expanded
lobby with refreshments and new spaces
for surgery and diagnostics. The target
date to finish renovations is June 1.
We do a heck of a lot in a small space
right now, Miller said. But this expansion is not only going to give us a little
more room to move, it is going to improve
our ability to keep providing world-class
service to our patients.

Margarita Roundup
Margarita
The true
Maestros
Margarita lovers
can find what
they're looking
for at Cabos in

which serves

takes on tequila,
as well as a
classic Cadillac
of a drink,
the Margarita
Perfecta.

equila. Its the ageless elixir of agave, warming spirits since the days
when Aztecs fermented Pulque
sap and Spanish conquistadors brewed
Mezcal in dried pyramids of mud. Wrung
from spiky, prehistoric-looking vegetation, tequila has been a southwestern
blessing mystery and desert fortitude
in a glass.
There are countless legends around
how the modern margarita was born.
Some claim it was created on a blistering
day in Ensenada to impress an ambassadors daughter. Others swear it was first
mixed in a hotel outside Rosarito to captivate a dancing beauty. Divergent myth
holds the cocktail was a tribute to the
1940s jazz singer Peggy Lee, who caught
the eye of a Mexican-American bartender on the border town of Galveston. Perhaps the strangest tale around the rise of
the margarita involves a hard-drinking,
exiled Irishman living in Tijuana during
U.S. Prohibition.
Whichever history is true, tequila continues to be considered a candy-touched
shot of gold, a true treasure of the Sierra
Madre and the liquid heart of the margaritas cascading freshness. In the Granite Bay area, a handful of bartenders are
veteran masters of Margaritaville.

Cabos
Granite Bay
But for fans of the traditional margarita, the fruit flavors can be set aside for
Cabos authentic specialty, the Margarita Perfecta. Blasted with Suaza Hornitos
Anejo Tequila, this mix is gliding citrus
satin in a glass, bolstered by calm sour
clicks and a dash of salt accents. Its the
margarita that can instantly transport
one south of the border.
El Pueblo
Folsom, near the Granite Bay border
Bartender Danny Burlando has a genuine appreciation for artisan, hand-crafted margaritas. Located just three miles
from Folsom Lake, El Pueblo has established a following around splashy and
vibrant dishes that include chili relleno,
tomato salad with cilantro pesto and
grilled corn with chipotle aioli, dusted in
cotija cheese. But it has also pulled in a
legion of fans by offering a sinful take on
Mexican cocktails. Each exclusive drink
at El Pueblo has its own intention and
character. Foodies can start a wet tour of
the menu with the Famous House Margarita a serene swirl of pulsing lime and
orange flavors, alive with Suaza Blue tequila, balanced Reposado and phantom
touches of bitterness.
One of the more unique offerings at El
Pueblo is the La Dona Margarita, known
for its tart burst, ultra-fresh juices and

The 6-foot-8 multi-sport athlete will

I actually wanted to commit before my
sophomore year, but their pitching coach
left for Cal and I took some time to think
over my decision, Darren explained.
The Nelsons love for Cal Poly stems
from their parents. Both their mother,

Junior Highs
combined 7th
and 8th grade
robotics teams at
an Grange Middle
School event.
For three years Cavitt Junior Highs students have used research
skills, engineering and teamwork to build their metallic creations
and then enter them in the Vex Robotics Competition. The competition is the largest of its kind globally, as well as the fastest
growing for middle and high school robotics programs. More
than 12,000 teams from 33 nations go head-to-head in over 1,000
tournaments worldwide. The combination of programming
skills, robotic technical capabilities, driver skills and alliance/
game strategy all come into play during these competitions.
Each year the VRC adds a new themed challenge to its trials.
For the 2015-2016 school year that theme was Nothing But Net.
Prior to going to the California State Championships, Cavitts
8th grade team earned the top prize for robotics building in a
regional tournament. Cavitts 7th graders placed 12th in the same
competition, granting them a spot in the knock out rounds.
After many late nights and overcoming a host of technical difficulties, Team Stanley FatMax was ready for the VRC California
Middle School State Championship, held on February 27 in San
Jose. The team reportedly dominated the field and ultimately won.
That was a huge success for the team, Miller noted. Not
just for winning the state championship tournament and earning their spot to worlds, but how they overcame some significant problems during the tournament.
In April Team Stanley FatMax modified their robots and made
adjustments to ensure that they were prepared for the World
Competition in Louisville, Kentucky. The students went up
against 150 middle school teams from around the earth.
Joining the robotics team has helped improve my leadership
skills and given me a new way of thinking mechanically and
technically, said 8th grader Theo Tran.
Granite Bay residents helped raise funds for the trip and all
of South Placer is now waiting to see what these young Tony
Starks will event next.

Hot Property
Move
in
with
guest house, waterfall
BY JENNIFER BONNETT
IN GRANITE BAY
his show-stopper beauty with soaring ceilings is beckoning to be enjoyed this summer and beyond.
Located in Granite Bay, it has an inground swimming pool with a rock waterfall reminiscent of a tropical destination,
an extensive outdoor kitchen and even a
putting green for golf on site. Inside, its
walls are glazed with Venetian plaster and
gold-leaf paint, while hardwood floors
and Travertine tile run throughout.
From the moment you approach this
Douglas Ranch property set back along
Waterford Drive, you can sense its special.
Stucco light posts and well-manicured
landscape will beckon both you and your
visitors to the oversized entry way.
When the door opens, you're greeted
by a welcoming foyer with several directions to choose from.
The color of the walls throughout the
common area are calming as one moves
seamlessly from one room to the next.
Among them is a large octagonal-shaped
formal dining room with a vaulted tray
ceiling adorned with a classic chandelier.
Nearby, the large but cozy family room
has a fireplace and wall of windows welcoming in tons of natural light.
Cooking in the homes expansive eat-in
kitchen with center preparation island and
plenty of cupboards will be a treat. It also
offers both pendant and recessed lighting.
Off the kitchen is a large theater room.
There are five complete bedroom suites,
in addition to the master bedroom. And,
as a bonus, there is a matching villa-style
guest house on site and nestled among the
landscape, making it simple to have both
46
able. Still too hot? Take a dip in the adjacent in-ground, solar, saltwater swimming
pool with its waterfall, as well as its spa.
But dont wait too long. This Mediterranean villa-style house with custom window treatments included just went on the
market last week and surely wont last.

agricultural valley along the Ameca River. He named the valley and bay Banderas, or flags, after the colorful standards carried by the fighters. The Bay of
Banderas figures in some 17th and 18th
century accounts of pirate and smuggling operations, since local tradition
says the bay provided a way to evade
the customs operations at San Blas. By
the 19th century, Las Peas as the village
was then known, provided an important
port in support of the mining, fishing
and agricultural interests from the bay to
the Sierra Madre mountains. In 1918, the
village was renamed for the former state
governor, Ignacio Vallarta.
The beauty of the bay and tropical hillsides could not be denied and in 1942, the
first advertisement for a Puerto Vallarta

and arguably the best freshly baked pizza in Puerto Vallarta. The views from the
restaurant are above and across the river, with the bird feeding stations clearly
in view, butterflies and hummingbirds
fluttering among the trees and flowers.
There is no better place to spend an
afternoon after hiking and viewing the
gardens treasures.
Bob Price, founder and curator of the
Vallarta Botanical Gardens, originally
searched for and finally found the land
for the gardens in 2004 an overgrazed
20-acre site criss-crossed by hard trampled cow paths. Bob loved orchids and
had learned of the considerable traffic
in illegal poaching of the plants from the
jungle highlands around the area. These
plants were being plundered to extinction and brazenly sold in a thriving black
market, he once told a journalist. Price
created the gardens with the help of his
mother, Betty, a delightful woman whom
we had the pleasure of meeting several
years ago before her untimely passing.
In November 2005, the Gardens opened
to the public and new garden areas and
buildings have been added since then.
This past December we had the pleasure
of touring the newest addition to the gardens with Bob, the not-quite-completed

s we move into the warmer months of spring and summer our tendency is to shift our wine drinking habits
from the heavy reds of winter to more refreshing chilled
white wines. But there are other options then your favorite
Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, there is Ros. Slowly peoples
perception of Ros is changing, it might look pink but it is not
your grandmothers White Zinfandel.
Made from red grapes, but left only for a limited time with
the color-giving grape skins, Ros can vary from the palest powder-puff pink to deep opaque red, depending on how long the
grapes macerate.
French Ross tend to be made of blends of various varietals:
Grenache,Syrah,Cinsault,Mourvedre, Tibouren,Carignanand
Cabernet Sauvignon and the constitution of these blends vary
depending on the region.
Whereas here in the California, Ross are predominately
made from single varietals, anything from Pinot Noir to Cabernet Sauvignon and everything in between.
Lighter drier Ross made from Pinot Noir, pair well with light
salads, light pasta and rice dishes, especially with seafood, raw
and lightly cooked shellfish and grilled fish and goat cheeses.
Whereas heavier drier Ross made from Syrah or Cabernet
Sauvignon makes them ideal for a barbecue and for drinking
with spicy food such as curries.
Ross are usually a bargain, especially compared with red
wines. These wines are young and relatively cheap to make.
There are plenty of good options in the $10-$15 range.
Its the perfect barbecue wine, the perfect beach wine, and the
perfect picnic wine, but its also the perfect wine sitting around
and relaxing.
Erik Loigom, with his wife, Crickett, owns and operates UnWined in Folsom.
Born in Australia, he has visited most of the wineries in Australia and has
traveled to many wine regions around the world.

Strength training
is a life changer
FITN ESS VIEW |
Debra Skelton
BEING TONED
This one is obvious for anyone who has ever stepped inside
a gym. When we add strength training to our routine, our body
shapes up quickly. A proper routine will give us a toned body
that radiates great health and fitness. When we look better,
we feel better and more confident. But lifting weights isnt just
about looking good, its about maximum health.
INCREASED STAMINA
Ever just want to crash and burn after a hard day at work?
Wish you had the stamina to play a game of kickball with your
kids on the weekends? Lifting weights will help you improve
your stamina. Once youve lifted weights for a while, your muscles grow stronger and you learn how to power through fatigue,
even when youre feeling worn out. Going longer, however, isnt
reserved for the athletic field.
IMPROVED INTIMACY
Lifting weights may not transform you into some sort of sexual maniac, but it will do lots of good things for your body that in
turn translate to good things in other departments of your life.
One way strength training does this is by improving blood flow
throughout your body, which is important for sexual function.
On top of blood flow, you will feel better about your body, and
become less likely to struggle with dysfunction.
help those youre meeting with find solutions until you start
lifting weights. Suddenly, your brain is getting the blood flow
necessary for optimal function and your brain even grows new
cells. Once youre most important muscle kicks into overdrive,
youre ready to be alert and thoughtful.
MORE SMILING
Life is not easy. And when it comes at you full force, the stress
can be too much. In moments like this people may find themselves spiraling into a bout of sadness or even depression. Lift
weights regularly, however, and youll experience something the
prescription-producing world doesnt want you to know. Lifting
weights gives your body what it needs to fend off depression. And
you dont need a doctors appointment for a weight-lifting session.
REDOUBLED FOCUS
Work meetings arent the most exciting events in the world.
They drone on for hours, and your involvement does little to

s Californians, we have been fortunate to grow up eating the avocado; but those of you from other parts of the
country and the world may not understand its allure.
From the outside, the fruits skin does not look very appealing,
with its dimpled and not very attractive dark green color. Dont
let that deter you from eating this delicious, nutrient-rich fruit.
Once you taste the rich, meaty inside you will understand.
The avocado doesnt just taste delicious; it is also chocked full
of good nutrition.
Initially thought to be a high-fat dietary enemy that one
should avoid, the avocado fruit is now revered for its beneficial
plant-based fat, and recommended as part of a healthy diet. It
contains heart-healthy fat, more potassium than a banana, has
anti-inflammatory benefits, and is rich in fiber. It also increases
absorption of other key nutrients. Contrary to popular belief,
consuming fat is essential to normal growth and development.
The avocado promotes satiety, helping you stay full longer,
which can actually assist with weight loss. Adding avocado to your
daily diet comes with benefits, and heres an easy way to make
that happen: Toss some diced avocado into your salad, a smoothie or an omelet. Slice it, mash it, or fill it up with some shrimp.
Whichever way you decide eat it, you wont be disappointed.
AVOCADO SMOOTHIE
1/2 of a ripe avocado
1/2 cup of almond or coconut milk, unsweetened
1 cup plain Greek yogurt, Fage brand or comparable
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey
4-5 ice cubes
Just blend and drink.
FRESH GUACAMOLE
3 whole avocados, diced
3 whole medium-sized tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Juice of one lime
Salt and pepper to taste
Add diced jalapeos to your liking
Mix and serve.
If you would like more information or research papers about the benefits
of eating fats, please email me at paula@hendricksforhealth.com.
Happy and healthy eating.
