Tobias Mortgage helps home buyers through
lending process and contributes to local sports
BY KIM PALAFERRI | PHOTOS BY KIM PALAFERRI
The home loan market seemed good in 2012 when the interest rate
reached a 10-year low of 3.5 percent for a typical conventional home
loan. Those numbers were considerably better than the rates in 2007
where they were in the 5.0 percent range, or even in the late 1990s
when the highest rate peaked at 18 percent.

Weve seen a lot of volatility in the market over the past three years,
but we havent gone above 4.6 percent, Tobias said.
The market has been kind to homeowners because the rate has
stayed relatively low compared to the late 80s and 90s, he said.

BACK
Andrew Palamides and Matt Azevedo are excited about being part of the new Beermanns Restaurant.
Its not only the Lincoln residents who visited the former Beermanns Restaurant
who are excited about the restaurant opening its doors under a new owner and management.
Former Bay Area residents Matt Azevedo and Andrew Palamides are excited that
opening day is here.
And theyre working around the clock to make sure customers of the new Beermanns Restaurant at 645 5th St. will be so pleased with their dining experience that
they become regular visitors.
Azevedo is the restaurants executive chef and Palamides is the head brewer.
Were really, really excited to bring Beermanns back, Azevedo said.
For the last 10 months, owner Curtis Smith has completed major repairs, including
roof and structural repairs, before the restaurant could open.

Americans or some other notable piece of history.
And, the research tools at the museum are abundant.

Somebody will say, I have this item, maybe its a quilt or something,
do you want it? And well say yes, Kathy Freeman said, curator and
widow of one of the museums original founders.
The museum houses a variety of displays from the past. A favorite
among the volunteers is the kitchen, equipped with an icebox, a stove
and a cabinet full of old coffee cans and such. There is also a Native
American exhibit, as well as a make-shift blacksmith shop, a sewing
room, a military exhibit, a Gladding McBean display and a video
screening area that shows slides of old Lincoln photographs.

sweet
success

offee and chocolate. For many it is a perfect combination of bitter and sweet.
Lincoln residents Darlene and Gary Kramer, owners of Blabbermouth Chocolates, have found a way
to combine coffee and chocolate into a candy bar with a kick. The couple opened their downtown Lincoln shop, located at 448 Lincoln Blvd., May 1.
Originally we started out of our home, Darlene Kramer said.We started the business almost three years ago
and it was wholesale only.
Darlene said the couple had to find a brick-and-mortar location because we couldnt do e-commerce under a
cottage business license through the county.
Coffee shops were our first customers, Darlene said, adding that Insight Coffee shop was their first exposure. We gained some notoriety through Sacramento Magazine and local television.
Gary Kramer said the couple operated out of a space on Flocchini Circle for two years but lost their lease. He
added that the business has been built one phone call at a time.

Gary Kramer said after attending their first chocolate festival they
were advised to stock their chocolate bars in truck stops. The 49er Truck
Stop in Sacramento was the first to stock their candy bars with an initial
order of 12 dozen.
Now we are in truck stops in Portland, Ore., Chicago, Wyoming,
Utah and, one of the biggest, the Iowa-80, Gary Kramer said. Were
actually keeping truckers awake at night with the caffeine in our chocolate bars.
Making chocolate bars may not seem a
likely venture for the Kramers; Darlenes
background is in accounting and Garys is in
title and escrow sales.
I came home one day and told Gary I
want to be a chocolatier, Darlene Kramer
said. I took a course and became a professional chocolatier. Ive since taken additional
courses in Canada and Chicago.

Darlene Kramer said she tested her coffee and chocolate candy bars
on her neighbors.
All of them said I should go into business, Darlene Kramer said.
Now Blabbermouth Chocolates are in some Nugget Markets, Safeway stores and Whole Foods.
It took eight months to get into Whole
Foods, Gary Kramer said. Were
grateful because they are hard to get
into.
Darlene Kramer said she uses Belgian
chocolate and sources great roasters.
The Kramers estimate their Willy Wonka machine pours 1,000-1,200 chocolate bars per week.
Its just Gary and myself; its our passion, Darlene Kramer said. Who doesnt want to work with chocolate? We hand-wrap every bar and caramel and we are here seven days per week.
Gary Kramer said their customers are definitely aware of the coffee in the chocolate bars.
The caffeine provides a nice, comfortable increase in energy, Gary Kramer said.
The Kramers came up with the business name after Gary mentioned the business idea to his brother and
Darlene called him a blabbermouth.
Blabbermouth Chocolate is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The roasted red bell pepper was also a nice additional sweet taste.
Note: if your toppings are hot (sauce, tomatoes, peppers, etc.) it will aid
in the cooking of the Zucchini Noodles.
Transport yourself to Italy and still be able to fit swimsuit this
summer.
