getaway
Modern
arrangements
evoke inspiration
The content of this story is sponsored by
Rosase Flower Botique.
fter only a couple months in the
area, Rosae Flower Boutique has
made an impact on the Granite
Bay community. The multitudes of
customers who enter the compact floral
shop are more than thrilled. It opened
with much anticipation and has gone
above-and-beyond expectations.
The interior is ever-changing with sea-
sonal flowers and vases. Being an inde-
pendent florist allows total control of the
quality and selection of the products.
We select best seasonal flowers from
the largest flower markets in LA, Miami
and Holland, owner Tamara Till said. It
allows us to provide large selection and
best quality flowers for our customers.
Because the flowers come direct with no
stopping, the flowers are exquisitely fresh.
We like to wow our customers with
very different flowers, from green roses
and giant amaryllis to exotic proteas and
colorful orchids, Till said. It really de-
pends on what you would like to see in
your arrangement.
Describing the shop as a boutique is
very appropriate. However, the size is no
indication of limitation. All inventories
are constantly being rotated to bring in

flowers that are exotic, unique or request-
ed. Though the space is small, there is
plenty of room for flowers to flourish and
maintain their vibrancy.
Its compact like a mini gallery, Till said.
Rosae differs from many florists with
its innovative and modern designs. From
traditional to contemporary to garden
style, any arrangement is feasible. There
are always new variations and trends.
Their extravagance is also affordable.
You can always find something very un-
ique and amazing here for very good price,
she said. We just get inspired by flowers.
Proper care is given, not only to each ar-
rangement, but to each individual flower.
We dont compromise on quality,
Till said.
When asked why Till calls the shop Ro-
sae, she explained she wanted more than
just a Granite Bay florist. And has found

that the name reminds customers of the
very popular ros wine, which evokes
a relaxing feeling while simultaneously
suggesting a soft pink color pallet. Both
comparisons Till is thrilled with.
We are here to provide great service for
all of your flower needs, she said, its like
a concierge service with a little getaway.
Flowers serve a purpose for any oc-
casion, from holidays to weddings and
special events, to business offices and
personal use. Rosae even offers daily de-
signed pre-made arrangements for effort-
less convenience. Weekly and monthly
subscriptions are also available where

The Art of
Reinventing Yourself
BY SUSAN BELKNAP
Granite Bay
resident forges
new career
in retirement
fter a long, traditional career with
the state of California and a stint in
local politics as a Roseville High
School board member and Placer Coun-
ty supervisor in the 80s and 90s, Granite
Bay resident Susan Hogg has embarked
on a new journey. Hogg has discovered a
passion for painting.
I consider myself to be a lifelong learn-
er, Hogg said. Ive had wonderful op-
portunities that have allowed me to learn
about technology, customer service and
business processes with my career as
deputy director at the DMV and deputy
director for Caltrans. Today, Im learning
about art.
Hoggs husband John, a Granite Bay
dentist for 35 years, said he takes credit
for introducing Susan to the world of art
when he encouraged her to take a paint-
ing class to occupy the afternoon while
10 MAY 2017 GRANITE BAY VIEW
2017_05_May GBV.indd 10
she accompanied him at a dental confer-
ence several years ago.
I was hooked, Hogg said. I began to
study with Randy Blasquez and the Sar-
back School of Light and Color (in Fair
Oaks). And since I didnt have any previ-
ous experience I was like a sponge, ab-
sorbing everything I was taught. Without
any bad habits I progressed quickly. Since
I began painting I see color in everything,
and Im always looking for where the light
is coming from.
Hogg said her style and passion is in-
fluenced by the works of impressionist
masters including Claude Monet, Alfred
Sisley and Berthe Morisot. Her focus is
on landscapes and still life that use in-
tense colors and shadows. She uses oil
as her medium, and she enjoys paint-
ing outdoors in the style of plein air, a
branch of impressionism that attempts
to represent outdoor light and air. Much
of her work reflects places she and John
have visited through the years including
nearby locations such as Napa Valley,
Mendocino and Sacramento but also
trips the couple has taken to Provence,
France, Amsterdam and Australia, to
name a few.
My intention in my work is to let
the viewer walk on the path or sit on a
bench Ive painted, Hogg said. I like to
create atmospheric perspective, which
is a method of creating the illusion of
depth, or recession. It invites you into
the painting.
Hogg has participated in several art
shows and exhibitions including Blue
Line Gallery, Folsom Art Association
Member Shows, Artfest and the Plac-
er Arts Studios Tour held each fall. This
month she is also the featured artist at

the Granite Bay Library. She paints two to
three days per week in her home studio, a
living room setup with lovely views.
Hogg said she often listens to music
while she works, but not tunes from a
playlist on her iPhone. John serenades
her with songs and ballads from the pi-
ano in the Hoggs living room. Since his
retirement from dentistry as well as the
world of Rotary Club and Granite Bay
Chamber of Commerce, both organiza-
tions he helped organize, John plays the
piano two to three hours each day.
I had my first gig a few months ago
at the Placer Arts Grand Opening recep-
tion, John said.
He is also exploring a new passion:
carving intricate designs and scenes in
pumpkins.
After being a dentist for so long I just
had to do something with my hands. So I

started carving live pumpkins and then
switched to the plastic ones, he said.
Susan and John have two sons, Mi-
chael, 34, who is an associate attorney
for Greenberg Traurig in San Francisco;
and Jeff, 30, a corporate tax manager
in San Jose for the Albertsons Compa-
ny. Michael is married and has a baby
daughter, Aurora. Jeff is getting married
this year.
Ive had so much support from John
and the boys, Hogg said. We frequently
visit art museums together and the boys
have some of my work displayed in their
homes. Both John and I are enjoying this
phase of our lives. Its just like going to
college and learning but without having
to take a final exam.
Susans art can be purchased for $150 to
$450 and can be viewed at zoomaru.org/

About a tenth of its lots have barns and
stables for horses.
Over 440 human residents, two dozen

to individual preference. Despite its loca-

raised his now-adult children in Hidden

Valley, the neighborhood was original-
ly intended to contain small retirement
homes for employees of Aerojet in Ran-
cho Cordova.
Long before, however, the Maidu peo-
ple lived on the land. Sets of their grinding
holes still remain on granite outcroppings
in three different parts of the roughly 400-
acre neighborhood. The fact that Miners
Ravine which used to be salmon habi-
tat runs right through the land meant a
steady stream of resources for the Maidu.
After European descendants moved in,
this patch of land sat along a series of stage-
coach trails, putting it on the map well be-
fore many other locations in Granite Bay.
These were stops when nothing was
between Auburn and Sacramento, Taylor
said.
It was also swept up into the countrys
railroad craze in the 1860s. The Sacra-
mento, Placer and Nevada Railroad ran
through the property from Folsom almost
up to Auburn. It was intended to cross the
mountains, Becker said, until the Sierra
Pacific line out-built it to the south.
HIDDEN VALLEY NOW
Today, the Maidu holes and a well built
to signify the original stagecoach property
are remnants of the lands past, as well as
a community clubhouse with rafters and
wall siding made from old railroad ties.
The rest of the neighborhood is built in
spatial levels a road encompassing a
loop of houses that radiate out from the
central common-land areas. The pastures
are crisscrossed with a network of hiking,
biking and horse trails. Architecture is di-
verse and inconsistent, in contrast with
other Granite Bay subdivisions where
such things are governed by committees.
Some homes are modern and minimalist,
some angular and dramatic, some Medi-
terranean, some rustic. Many were built
as ranch-style homes but have since been
added onto, subtracted from, remodeled
or altogether knocked down and rebuilt.
Taylors home is tucked away beneath
trees and, from the front, is one of the
less-assuming houses in the neighbor-
hood. But out back, she has a pasture
for her horse, Dot, as well as a vegetable
garden and a chicken coop for her three
hens. A Southern California native, she
moved to Hidden Valley in 1987 as part of
what she says was a wave of young fami-
lies coming to the area. She and her hus-
band had two children in tow, and a third
once they moved into the neighborhood.
Her husband played in the neighborhood
as a child when visiting a friend who lived
there, and Taylor said he recalled the area
when they decided to move up north.
For Taylor, as with many Hidden Valley
residents, the acreage and common land
were selling points.
When we bought the house, I walked
right through the front door to the back,
because thats how I buy houses, she said.
Taylor is a veterinarian in Rocklin so

RAISING AWARENESS
Keith is best known for being the
frontman of Sacramento-born heavy
metal band Tesla, which formed in 1983
and was originally called City Kidd. But
when hes not writing songs or belting
them out, he cares for the community he
calls home. Over the years, hes rescued
abandoned animals, played fundraising
concerts for animal advocacy groups and
organized the annual Jeff Keith Ride for
Reason, raising money to help foster kids
in greater Sacramento.
Ride for Reason wrapped its sixth year
last October, but Keith said theyve re-
cently turned their focus toward children
coming of age. When a foster child turns
18 and stops receiving aid from the state,
he or she can be left adrift without a clear
idea of where to head next.
Sometimes those are the ones who
need the most help, he said. Were all
coming together and showing the kids
we care.
Initially the organization wanted to
take foster kids for a ride on the motorcy-
cles, but that presented a liability issue.
So now, Keith and other motorcycle en-
thusiasts ride together to raise money for
Martins Achievement Place and other
foster care groups, helping fund activi-
ties that can bring a feeling of normalcy
to kids lives.

SMALL-TOWN BOY
Not so long ago, Keith was a kid him-
self in Northern California, though he
did go back and forth between here and
other places throughout his childhood.
Born in Texarkana, Arkansas, he moved
to Georgetown, between Auburn and Pla-
cerville, at age 2.
It was a small little town and the most
we had was, like, two stores, three bars, a
gas station and a post office, he said. So
I never had the dream of growing up and
being a rock star.
At 11, he moved to Idabel, Oklahoma

In 77, I started driving a septic

THEN AND NOW
Turns out, Keith lives in one of those
houses he never thought hed buy, with
his wife Vera, their three children and
two dogs. He moved in while the area
was still considered Roseville, before the
Sacramento Kings came to town in 1985.
Which is good because that was prob-
ably the only way they were going to let
me into Granite Bay, he said.
Like many who have lived here for a
while, his memory of Northern California

is different than what the area is today.
Keith recalled riding dirt bikes and walk-
ing dogs on two-lane roads before there
were bike paths and multi-lane boule-
vards. Places now developed used to be
pastures for livestock. Green hillsides are
covered in houses. Coyotes and other
wildlife are being driven from habitats,
which is the biggest concern surrounding
development for the animal lover.
ROLLING WITH THE CHANGES
Though he and his family attended
meetings in the community to try to
stop developments from going in, Keith
maintains a level-headed view of the
changes around his home. In fact, they
near his house that they tried to keep
from being built.
I know that people are concerned
with development and its pretty crazy
how fast and aggressive the development
has become, but thats progression, you
know? he said. Its like with anything
in life, you have to be ready to negotiate
and navigate the unexpected.
Regardless of what comes up or goes
down in Granite Bay, Keith is always glad
to return.
I like my house right here with no gate.
And with the memory loss, Id probably
forget my gate code if I had one, he said.
Its my own paradise. Im so happy that
when I come home, this is where I am.

fun, crazy aunt.
Hershbergers mother and Freemans
older sister Freda Fay Eveleigh had gone
a traditional route for women of her era,
marrying young and having nine chil-
dren. Freeman refused this path, turning
down a marriage her father arranged in
the 1950s, serving in the U.S. Navy and
eventually becoming a journalist.
She always said, Your mom had the kids

The woman who never lost her sense of
fun, who never stopped living life her own
way and who founded the Granite Bay
View in 1989, leading it for 13 years be-
fore selling to Gold Country Media, died
March 9 at a nursing home in Carmichael.
Janice Freeman was 79.
Freemans health had deteriorated in re-
cent years, after having a pacemaker and
heart stints installed in the past decade
and suffering a stroke in early 2015. Jessi-
ca Dutra, a longtime friend, said Freeman
required 24-hour care thereafter, mov-
ing from Roseville to the nursing home,
though shed still find time to steal away.
She wasnt supposed to leave the
grounds of the nursing home, but of
course she did because thats who she
is, said Dutra, who added that she would
take her friend to the Sacramento River,
an area she loved.

Janice Freeman, Granite Bay View founder

She moved to Northern California in

the late 1970s, where she lived first in a
Midtown Sacramento Victorian and then
on 10 acres in El Dorado County.
She founded an advertising mailer for
the Cameron Park and Shingle Springs area
in 1981 with a friend, Deidre Daugherty.
This eventually became a weekly newspa-

published until 1987 and was absorbed

Seattle I
t didnt take me a week in Seattle and its
many intriguing areas to realize theres
a mind-blowing natural beauty to the
region. But a week is what my wife and I
had, and at the end of it we felt there were
so many more things to explore than we
had time for.
A summertime playground One of our first observations regarding
Seattle was water its everywhere. And

Seattles waterways are inlets, lakes, riv-

funny thing we discovered with many
Seattle natives is that they often have no
idea what nearby waterways are called.
The most common answer Oh, thats
the (Puget) Sound was convenient, be-
cause the Sound spans 100 miles in length
and 10 miles wide, but often incorrect.
Still, water is what makes Seattle so intrin-
sically beautiful.
Speaking of water, I suggest visiting Se-
attle in the summer. The city gets roughly
155 days of rain each year, and most of
that comes mid-October through June
when the temperatures often range from
the mid-40s to the high 50s, and the sun
makes infrequent appearances. If youre
not a fan of dreary, damp weather, visit
Seattle in July, August or September.

Given so many places to visit

in the Seattle region, here are a
few suggestions:

Space Needle Above: Mount Mount Rainier National Pa

A visit to Seattle isnt complete
without seeing the citys skyline
from this vantage point which, at
605 feet, happens to be the tallest
building west of the Mississippi. A
design marvel, the Space Needle
observation deck sits at 520 feet and
treats visitors to a 360-degree view of
the downtown and far beyond.
Theres nothing to rave about on
the menu at the Space Needle restau-
rant, where the food and drinks are
overpriced. But dining here is highly
recommended, for the novelty of eat-
ing and drinking at 500 feet in one of

claims the lives of a few climbers.
Still, a visit can be a wonderful expe-
rience. The parks website says the scale
and character of Mount Rainier is more
akin to an Alaskan or Andean peak. An
active volcano, Mount Rainier is the most
glaciated peak in the contiguous U.S.,
spawning six major rivers. Subalpine
wildflower meadows ring the icy volcano
while ancient forest cloaks Mount Raini-
ers lower slopes. Wildlife abounds in the

Woodinville
Washingtons premiere wine region
C alifornians love their wine. Well,
guess what so do people in
Washington, and they know quite
a bit about the art of winemaking.
Washington is the second largest
premium wine (wines sold for $8 or
higher) producer in the U.S., trailing
only California.
Located 30 miles northwest of Seattle,
Woodinville Wine Country features 108
wineries and tasting rooms. The region
is associated with wine, yet also has
eight microbreweries, distilleries and
cider-producing locations. Situated in
the gorgeous Sammamish River Valley,
Woodinville is a major foodie area as
well, with restaurants open year-round
and regularly pouring local wines for
lunch, happy hour or dinner.
While Woodinville is a beautiful area
to visit, dont expect to see rows and
rows of vines like Napa. Practically all
of the Woodinville wineries grow their
grapes in the warm, arid climate of
Eastern Washingtons Columbia Valley.
The sandy, gravelly soil is ideal for
planting vines and growing grapes. The
Columbia Valley receives protection from
Seattles marine climate by the Cascade
Mountains. The valley temperatures are
typically the mid-80s during the summer,
a contrast to the Seattle region, which
doesnt get in the 80s too often.
When my wife and I visited, we tasted
some terrific wine from both Fidelitas
and Efeste, a family-owned winery
with a sizable tasting room. Efeste
makes 16 to17 different wines per
year that results in 12,000 to 14,000
cases. Fidelitas benefits from the
experience and knowledge of owner
and winemaker Charlie Hoppes. He is
one of Washingtons most respected
winemakers and brings over a quarter-
century of knowhow to every bottle.
The gem of Woodinville wine country
is historic Chateau Ste. Michelle, which
dates back to the 1930s and the repeal
of prohibition. Chateau Ste. Michelle
is not only the regions largest winery,
but the largest in Washington. It uses
approximately two of every three grapes
that grow in Washington and many of
them go toward its Riesling selections.
Chateau Ste. Michelles annual Riesling
production is the most in the world.
The winery estate resides on regal
grounds that are immaculately
maintained, and the buildings are
stately as well. The folks at Chateau
Ste. Michelle say they have combined
Old World winemaking traditions with
New World innovation. They maintain
two separate state-of-the-art wineries,
one for red wines in Canoe Ridge Estate
winery in Eastern Washington, and one
for whites in Woodinville.

The Pike Place Market is a popular
destination for tourists and locals.
Pikes is downtown, a public farmers
market that got its start in 1907.
PHOTO BY JEFF WEIDEL
continued from page 25
Pike Place Market
Part of the eclectic downtown scene,
the area is a cool place to hang out, peo-
ple-watch, grab a cup of coffee at the
original Starbucks (beware of long lines),
sample a microbrew (Old Stove Brewery
was my favorite), and browse through
the public farmers market. Started in
1907, the maze-like market features al-
leys, lower levels and stairways, and one
can experience sensory overload with its
aromas, tastes and textures.
A nine-acre historic district, Pikes is
close to the waterfront and is a terrific
place to sample fresh fish and seafood
from the Pacific Northwest and Alaskan
waters. Bring an appetite, because there
are more than 80 restaurants and shops
that specialize in various food items, in-
cluding donuts. The shopping options
are plentiful as well, with specialty out-
lets, secondhand stores with collectibles
and handmade art.
The market also hosts several street
performers and homeless panhandlers,
though they arent aggressive like the
ones in San Francisco. Taking the light
rail is easier than finding a parking space.

Bellevue
Located across Lake Washington from Seattle, this hip metropolitan area has been
called the boomburb. The second largest city center in Washington state, Bellevue was
named No. 1 in CNNMoneys list of the best places to live and launch a business in 2008.
Six years later, USA Today ranked Bellevue as the second-best place to live in the U.S.
Apparently people were listening, because 145 companies have located in Bellevue,
including major players like Expedia, T-Mobile, Microsoft and Nintendo.
Bellevue is a picturesque, clean, well-designed city with lots of culture, including
the Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue Botanical Garden, Mercer Slough Nature Park and
other great attractions. Inspired by European-style shopping, The Shops at the Bravern
has beautiful architecture, gorgeous flowerbeds, fountains and fashionable places to
shop like Neiman Marcus, Gucci, Prada, Jimmy Choo and Louis Vuitton.
If youre looking for something low-key, try Meydenbauer Beach Park. Situated in
downtown Bellevue on the shores of Lake Washington, the 2.5-acre park is ideal for
walking or spreading out a blanket and having a picnic.
Beneath the Streets
This is a great way to absorb a little
bit of Seattle history. It only takes an hour
and $17 ($10 for kids) to view three city
blocks of Seattles original neighborhood,
Pioneer Square.
The underground passageways were
constructed in the 1890s, but gradually
fell out of use after the city streets were
elevated and a new ground floor was
established on higher ground, eventually
making Pioneer Square obsolete. Knowl-
edgeable guides have informative and
funny tales to tell about this era in the
citys history.

Way off the beaten path is one of our favorite: Naggiar Vine-
yards. Its well worth the drive along scenic and historic Route
49, and just before the vineyard is a bison ranch, where you can
see bison grazing in the fields.
The winery is on a picturesque 135-acre estate, of which 60
are under vine, growing 18 different varietals, together with a
traditional Tuscan-style tasting room and bistro.
The bistro is only open Fridays through Sundays, with live
music on Saturday nights.
All their wines are grown, produced and bottled on the estate.
They offer traditional Rhone, Bordeaux and Italian varietals.
Not all the fruit from the vines are processed by Naggiar, but
many world-famous California wineries source fruit from Nag-
giar because of their exceptional quality.
Naggiar Vineyards offers tours of their estate for a small cost.
These tours last 45 minutes and allow guests to get up close and
personal with the vines. Its an exciting experience, to learn a bit
about how varietals differ in growing conditions, ripening style
and harvesting technique.
Naggiar Vineyards was recently voted Sacramento Regions
Best Winery by KCRA3 viewers for an unprecedented seventh
consecutive year, so they must be doing something right.
