Business hopes to change how Rocklin eatsBY JON BRINES
PLACER HERALD CORRESPONDENT
Someone wise one said, Ifyou dont have your health, youdont have anything.
Charles Starzynski of ElliottsNatural Foods on Blue OaksBoulevard in Rocklin has devot-ed his life to helping people livea healthier life. His wife CarsonElliott helped the health foodfamily business grow after herfather started it in 1952.
Starzynski is tired of the
processed food people areforced to consume to their per-il. Today their Rocklin store, oneof three in the Sacramentoregion, offers an alternativePlacer Herald readers have vot-ed the best health food store inthe area.
The way food is manufac-tured, it loses a lot of its nutri-
tion, Starzynski said. We offer
foods that are good for you thatarent packed with high fructosecorn syrup and high starchesfor no reason.
The store has been operatingin Rocklin since 2008 and hasalready won the title two yearsin a row.
Its fantastic, I am apprecia-tive, Starzynski said. Its heart-
ening to see the business growand see people come back andsupport us.
Starzynski said the keys toElliotts success are the high
quality of their private labelproducts and vitamins that aremanufactured at pharmaceuti-cal grade quality and sold atcompetitive prices. Besides Vit-
amin C, some of the biggestsellers right now are Fish Oils
and Omega 3.Everybody is recognizing itis essential for brain health andheart health, he said.
They have more than 10,000products including grass-feedbeef, pork and lamb meat fromWolfpack Meats in Reno.
Starzynski said its the peoplethat make the difference for thebusiness. His caring, learnedemployees are trained month-
ly, tasting and trying new prod-ucts.You can come in and well
help you with something,Starzynski said. If you dontlike it, bring it back and wellhelp you with something else.
Starzynski said hes eager tohelp Rocklin residents gethealthy.

PLACER HERALD CORRESPONDENT
Rudy Granados moved hisgourmet Mexican restaurantfrom the Bay Area three yearsago to Standford Ranch inRocklin and he knew then it was the best place to start anew restaurant.
We really liked the area andthe people, Granados said.
Embracing his roots, Grana-dos focused the family restau-rant cuisine on the flavors ofMexico City.
Mexican food is very diverse.
We always wanted to be differ-ent than other restaurants,Granados said.
Placer Herald readers in turnvoted Rudys Gourmet MexicanRestaurant the 2010 Best of theBest Mexican restaurant in thearea.
We didnt expect to be voted
Best of the Best, but I guess theylike us, Granados said. Its anhonor.
Rudy specializes in gourmetsoups and salads that startbefore a flavorful main dish.
We emphasize more healthystuff, but we do have tradition-al street tacos, Granados said.One of the biggest sellers is theEl Pastor, marinated pork roast-ed on the spit.
The succulent rotisserie-stylepork is shaved off as you orderit. Rudy, a chef by trade before
starting his business, boaststhree generations of influencefor the food.
I would suggest grandmaschicken tortilla soup. Thats mygrandmas recipe, Grandadossaid. If they want somethinglight with a lot of flavor, we havea chicken guacamole salad.
Rudys food can be tasted onthe cheap as lunch and dinnerspecials are offered daily.

Best martial arts facility draws families, awardsBY JON BRINES
PLACER HERALD CORRESPONDENT
Joey Febres ranks winning a
silver medal in the World Gamesfor taekwondo pretty high onhis list of accomplishments. Buthis pride is glowing for the suc-cess of his Fusion Elite Perfor-mance Training Center that wasjust named Best of the Best inthree categories: martial artsfacility, specialty sports storeand specialty store by PlacerHerald readers.
Were trying to be the best in
the area, said co-owner Febres.Its exciting to see the readersand clients supporting that.
Febres co-owns the 10,000-square-foot facility on SunsetBoulevard with his wife DianeMurray, a 1992 Olympic silvermedalist in taekwondo. Theyopened in 2008, but have nearlytwo decades of experience.Febres wanted to take his pas-
sion to the masses but also sawa need to help Rocklin parentsin other ways.
One thing that sets us apart
is the way we bring the familytogether, Febres said. We havethe 3-year-old girl doing dance,brothers doing karate and mom
and dad are doing fitness.Fusion not only specializes in
martial arts, but fitness, dance,music performance and tutor-ing.
People are tired of drivingeverywhere. We bring it underone roof, Febres said. Wewant to bring affordability, butalso top-notch instruction.
Brazilian jujitsu instructorGus Enriquez has a black beltand has competed nationally
and internationally. In-housefitness owner and instructorDave Warner produced more
than 250 athletes locally. One ofhis pupils just recently earned afull-ride scholarship to Harvardfor basketball.
Mixed Martial Arts or MMA isthe fastest growing sports outthere right now. Febres said youcan learn it at Fusion and eventrain to fight professionally.
If you want to learn to fight,you can do it, Febres said. Oryou can train like one.
Fusion is one of the fewplaces in the Sacramento regionoffering the new crazeCapoeira, an Afro-Brazilianstyle dance, gymnastics andmartial arts combination.
Its a niche were bringingtogether thats kind of cool,Febres said. Its pretty excitingto see people support whatwere doing.

When Maddison Bell,24, opened Minx Salonand Spa last October, littledid she know what asplash shed make intown.
Not only was Bellnamed best hair stylist inthe Best of the Best con-
test, but Minx garneredtop awards as best beautysalon, best nail salon andbest tanning salon.
Minx is located in thecharming, old Doc Barnesbuilding on HorseshoeBar Road.
Bell has Loomis tiesthat go back two genera-
tions. Her grandmotherLorna Festersen (neeMatteson), who lives inGranite Bay, graduatedfrom Del Oro High Schoolin 1967 and was a song-leader and homecomingqueen. Bell said that five years ago she moved toLoomis from the SanFrancisco Bay Area and
rented a home on LairdRoad.
I fell in love withLoomis. I knew I either wanted to live here orhave a business here,Bell said.
Sarah English, Minxhair stylist and salonmanager, explained the
salon does not have skin-damaging tanning beds,but instead offers a spray-on tan, custom-preparedby a licensed aesthetician.
Spray tans last from 7to 10 days and the startingprice is $25, but you canget packages, Englishsaid.
It takes about 10 min-utes for the actual proce-dure. Its airbrushed on.
English said the salon
now has seven hair stylistsand a nail technician whooffers manicures, pedi-cures and acrylic nails.Two aestheticians offerfacials, body wraps, wax-ing and spray tans.
One of Bells customers,Janice Ferrante, gives the
stylist rave reviews.She does the best color
Ive had, Ferrante said.Bell said she was voted
favorite hairdresser for twoyears in a row for Loomisand Rocklin in earlier GoldCountry Medias Best ofthe Best contests.
