Home Care In Roseville, CA

(FOX40.COM) — On Saturday, Oakmont of Roseville will be celebrating one of its residents that is reaching a major lifetime milestone and celebrating his lifetime of service to the United States.

Ray Anwyl, 99, will be celebrating his 100th birthday on Saturday. He served in the United States Air Force/Army Air Corps for 11 years during WWII and the Korean War.

Born in Iowa, Anwyl would learn to fly before he could even drive and would man the controls of some of the most iconic aircraft of U.S. military history.

After earning his wings, Anwyl piloted the Martin B-26 Marauder during WWII and during the Korean War flew the iconic North American P-51 Mustang.

During his 11 years of service, Anwyl completed 80 bombing runs.

Anwyl would eventually return stateside where he was stationed at the then active Mather Air Force Base, now Mather Airport.

Looking back on his time in the service, Anywl said that it “taught him the love for his country and duty.”

Upon retiring from the Air Force, Anywl enrolled at Sacramento State, which had only newly established its campus at its current location.

He would graduate in 1955 with his bachelor’s in business administration and take positions at JCPenney and then Aerojet’s Rancho Cordova location.

In his long life of adventure Anywl said he has taken away three important lessons, “always give 100% in the work force and if you can’t, find something else, give respect to all fellow employees, always work a full day of pay and never be late.”

Anywl and his late wife of 65 years, Mary, were not ones to sit around, and in their many years together were able to spend at least one night in all 50 states, visit more than 70 countries and travel to almost every continent, barring Antarctica.

While his travel partner is no longer with him, a vibrant and expansive family has grown around him. Anywl has welcomed 13 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.

D1 Training, a leading fitness concept utilizing the five core tenets of athletic-based training, will open a new location in Roseville at 410 Roseville Square on Feb. 5. The group fitness facility employs a sports science-backed regimen led by certified trainers to help people of all ages achieve their sport and fitness goals.

In celebration of the new location’s launch, Roseville neighbors and residents are encouraged to stop by and meet the facility’s team at its grand opening event, which will also feature giveaways, training demonstrations and the chance to win an athlete sponsorship for one-on-one training at D1 Roseville.

Business partners Bill Sanders and Caleb Ineichen own the new location with plans to grow three more locations in the coming years. The duo will join a roster of existing D1 Training franchisees and owners, including professional athletes such as Super Bowl MVP Von Miller, Tim Tebow and Michael Oher.

With more than a decade of experience in the business industry, Sanders and Ineichen are poised for success as entrepreneurs in the fitness space. Sanders has been a multi-unit, multi-brand franchisee for more than a decade. This, paired with his experience as a collegiate athlete who suffered multiple knee injuries to improper training, align his business experience and personal passions to be successful with D1. Ineichen joins the D1 family after spending seven years in the military, before working in commercial development. Being able to support athletes of all ages, skill levels and push them to become better athletes on and off the field drove him to pursue the franchise opportunity.

“We are so excited to open the first of the four locations we are planning for the Sacramento area, starting here in my home community of Roseville,” Ineichen said. “Working with athletes of all ages will not only help them physically improve in their respective sports but build that mental toughness to help them grow as a person.”

D1 Training offers four age-based programs, including Rookie (ages 7-11), Developmental (12-14), Prep (15-18) and Adult. Each fitness program is based on the five athletic-based tenets: dynamic warm-up, performance, strength program, core and conditioning, and cool down. Outside of group workouts, D1 Training offers one-on-one training with world-class coaches. The goal is simple: to continue to train athletes who are dedicated to their sport or their goals, regardless of age or athletic background.

“Bill and Caleb are the ideal candidates to bring the D1 Training experience to the Sacramento area,” said the brand’s Chief Operating Officer, Dan Murphy. “We’re thrilled to welcome them to the D1 family and are confident in their ability to show the Roseville area what they’ve been missing out on. D1 is a one-of-a-kind fitness experience that’s built around the individual and meant to help people meet their appropriate edge. Our strong network of franchisees embodies our core values to bring the D1 Training vision to life, and we know Bill and Caleb will do just that in Roseville and its surrounding communities.”

D1 Training has more than 85 performance centers open with more than 200 additional locations in various stages of development. The brand is seeking qualified and active community members to expand its footprint and help more people meet their fitness goals.

Facility touted as “first-of-its-kind nonprofit regional robotics facility”

Roseville, Calif.- The local nonprofit Placer Robotics (PART) recently held a grand opening of the new Placer Robotics Center at the organization’s new facility at 643 Vernon Street in downtown Roseville.

Placer Robotics developed Placer Robotics Center in partnership with Mercy Housing California (MHC) and the City of Roseville. In late October, the organization moved from its Loomis facility to the ground floor commercial space of The Lohse Apartments, an MHC-managed affordable community for families. Placer Robotics Center is a first-of-its-kind nonprofit regional robotics facility with embedded outreach programs to serve school-aged youth in the area, including youth from underserved communities.

The 2,900 square foot dedicated facility is tailored to Placer Robotics’ unique needs and will serve as a center of excellence for the nonprofit’s STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education programs, competitive robotics, and combat robotics teams. The nonprofit’s STEM-focused activities will include afterschool programs, summer camps, and competitive robotics leagues, all hosted at the new facility.

“The new Placer Robotics Center communicates to our region’s technology and advanced manufacturing companies that Placer County is producing talent to meet their future needs,” said Placer Robotics Executive Director Kevin Miller. “Our new presence in downtown Roseville is vital to our youth, to our community, and to our economy. We are grateful for the partnership with the City of Roseville and Mercy Housing that enables us to reach students at all levels and from all backgrounds with exciting, hand-on STEM opportunities.”

“Placer Robotics is the perfect partner to transform the expansive commercial space on the ground floor of The Lohse Apartments into a unique amenity that will greatly benefit Roseville families,” said Rich Ciraulo, Regional Director of Real Estate Development for Mercy Housing California. “We are thrilled to partner with the City of Roseville and PART on this exciting new facility.”

“Roseville is committed to helping the next generation of workforce leaders. Our city’s future is bright thanks to community partnerships equipping local students with hands-on experience in the STEM fields,” said Roseville Mayor Bruce Houdesheldt. “This location near the City of Roseville’s Venture Lab furthers collaboration and strengthens our culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. It will be exciting to see the creativity that flows from these young minds working collaboratively in a space benefiting Roseville businesses and residents.”

“I’m proud to have worked with a collaborative set of partners to help support this initiative,” said Roseville Economic Development Manager Wayne Wiley.

Apart from California Pizza Kitchen ridding itself of a location in one of Roseville’s most popular shopping malls, it’s business as usual for the fast casual chain.

Colorful images of happy hour deals, freshly baked pizza and mocktails cover the global corporation’s social media pages. But a call to the restaurant at 1190 Roseville Parkway on Wednesday morning confirmed its closing.

“We’ve loved serving our Roseville community and thank you for your patronage” an automated message from the pizza chain in the Fountains at Roseville says, directing customers to its last standing location in the Sacramento region in Arden Fair mall.

California Pizza Kitchen filed for bankruptcy in 2020, warning hundreds of its global restaurants that it could face closures as a result, CNN, Bloomberg News and The Wall Street Journal reported.

Representatives from the Costa Mesa-based restaurant chain couldn’t be reached for comment on this story.

California Pizza Kitchen was founded in 1985 by former federal prosecutors Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax in Beverly Hills, according to the corporation’s website.

The duo welded their passion for food and quality ingredients to create “innovative” foods like barbecue chicken pizza, gluten-free and cauliflower pizza crust options, and hearty grain bowls.

Roughly 40 years later, California Pizza Kitchen’s menu is stacked with pizza options of course, but also appetizers, salads, soups, pasta, burgers and sandwiches, and desserts.

House favorites include The Original BBQ Chicken Pizza with smoked gouda and cilantro, the Hand-Shaken Espresso Martini with vodka and cold brew, and the Shaking Beef Pasta tossed in garlic and sesame soy sauce.

The extensive drink menu includes cocktails and mocktails, margaritas, sangrias, mules, wine (by the glass or bottle) and beer.

The single California Pizza Kitchen in the Sacramento region, at 1735 Arden Way in Arden Fair, operates seven days a week. Business hours are from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday through Thursday; and from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday through Saturday.
