I
m the worst at good-
byes. Mainly because
I fluctuate between
extremes: Ill either avoid
it all together or Ill
get so overly emotional
the person Im bidding
farewell to will feel a
little bit uncomfortable.
This column gives me
the perfect middle-of-
the-road approach.
I can tell all of you how
much Ive appreciated
your readership from the
safe distance of pen on
paper. After 14 months as
managing editor of the
View, Im saying farewell
with this, my final issue.
Ive been named a fel-
low in the Ted Scripps Fel-
lowship in Environmental
Journalism program at the
University of Colorado,
Boulder, which means
Ill spend nine months
beginning this August
immersed in studies, sem-
inars and field trips as I
develop my craft. Its the
opportunity of a lifetime
and Im beyond excited,
but it means that after four
years I must end my time
with Gold Country Media.
So how do I adequately
say goodbye?
Ill let you in on a secret.
The last 14 issues of the
View have hopefully mir-
rored the community of
Granite Bay, but its also
been a reflection of me.
Im an introvert, which
means I cant handle small
talk. Im all about getting
to know people one-on-
one and deeply.
Thats the philosophy
Ive applied to the View
lets make the maga-
zine less superficial and
more insightful into the
people, businesses and
issues we cover. Because
thats the approach that
really makes an impact.
Im so grateful youve
welcomed me as the
Views managing editor
and often sent support-
ive emails and messages
when I needed them
most. Although the View
may not be as cute and
snuggly as my doggie,
Buster (remember him?!),
I have considered this
publication my baby,
and tried my best to take
it to a higher level. I
couldnt have done it
without you.

Living in Seattle at the time, Roberta
Sabo gave the key to her brand new
Roseville home to local designer
Katherine Kawaguchi, who co-owns
Guchi Interior Design with her hus-
band, Bruce Kawaguchi. Its a decision
Sabo doesnt regret.
I live in an intimate neighborhood
and everybody wanted to know what
was going on, Sabo said. And (the
Kawaguchis) were great; they said noth-
ing.
Sabo had a long wish list of changes
to customize her inventory home. She
was referred to Guchi Interior Design
for its hardwood flooring selection.
But Guchi Interior Design does a lot
more than flooring. With a showroom
off Fairway Drive in Roseville, the com-
pany provides design and complete
installation for kitchens, bathrooms, liv-
ing rooms and outdoor spaces. The
companys bathrooms have received
recognition from the National Kitchen
and Bath Association.
Guchi uses its own installers unlike
other design companies that refer out to
contractors for completion of a project.
Because we are design/build, when
you come into our company we dont
just design it and give you the specifica-
tions, or sell you some window cover-
ings, or some flooring or some furni-
ture, Katherine Kawaguchi said. We
actually follow through and install it.
Guchi Interior Design specializes in
Guchi Interior Design is a design/build business and uses its own installers to complete a project in a clients home.

universal design to ensure
accessibility for clients of every
age. The concept includes fea-
tures such as curbless showers
and smooth transitions from
one type of flooring to another.
Design elements incorporate
safety. All the towel bars the
company installs in bathrooms
are support bars, Kawaguchi
said.
In keeping with the company
motto, creating beautiful
homes one room at a time,
clients frequently contact the
company for an initial job, such
as kitchen remodeling, and
then come back to Guchi for
other projects. One Granite Bay
client who utilized the Guchi
Interior Design for her Los
Lagos home hired the company
again for kitchen, living room
and bathroom remodels in a
second house at Donner Lake.
Bruce Kawaguchi, as presi-
dent of the company, handles
operations and subcontractors,
while his wife leads a team of
three other designers. The cou-
ple met through their work in
the design center business,
which Katherine entered after
completing her schooling in
1997. As representatives of
home builders, the Kawaguchis
helped clients customize the
finishes in their new homes. It
was a business the couple
expected to retire from, until
the recession of 2008.
For years, clients had told
them they should open their
own company. After some per-
sonal downsizing and a year
off, the couple opened Guchi
Interior Design in 2009. The
company also offers draperies
and faux wall finishes, stem-
ming from Katherines experi-
ence in wall coverings and
Bruces work in window treat-
ments.
When at a home, Katherine
Kawaguchi takes a pulse on a
clients individual style by
noticing a favorite collection or
object of sentimental value.
Sometimes whats in your
minds eye isnt always evident
in your home, she said.
Sometimes its that youve had
a desire (for a design) but
maybe youve either been
afraid to introduce that or you
dont know how to introduce
that. Its my job to know what
that is, and to pull it out.
Although she had owned
several homes, Sabo had never
worked with an interior design-
er before becomming a client
of the Kawaguchis.
I thought to myself, I dont
want a designer telling me
what to do, Sabo said. I have
very specific ideas and (Kather-
ine) was wonderful. She lis-
tened. She got a flavor for what
we liked and disliked and I
think thats why the distance
didnt affect us at all.
CURBLESS SHOWERS: Universal design features, such as curbless
showers, are accessible to people of every age and ability. Every
new shower should be curbless, Katherine Kawaguchi said. It
is the wave of the future.
If you have no children and you have pets, you can use this
very easily. If you have small children and you need to help them
shower, guess what, you can use this very easily. If you have a
skiing accident, break a leg, you can still use this very easily. If
youre aging and youre a senior, you can use this very easily.
RADIANT HEAT FLOORING: We all know how cold tile is and
everybody wants to avoid it in the middle of the night,
Kawaguchi said.
WASHLETS OR BIDETS: Washlets, also known as bidets, also are
gaining in popularity, she said. Doctors are telling us that we
shouldnt be bathing every single day because of the skin prob-
lems and allergies.

hen Carrie Creger had both
her breasts removed nip-
ples and all she braced her-
self to look in the mirror and see
the reflection of a scarred body like
those she had seen during frightening
Internet searches.
She expected to feel a deep sense of
sadness.
Creger had chosen to change the
body shed had for 29 years and to
remove the breasts that had fed both her
young children as babies. Creger took
photos of her naked chest before the
surgery, as evidence of her former self.
Then came April 7: the day of her pro-
phylactic bilateral mastectomy. But
afterward, once her bandages were
removed, Creger didnt feel depressed.
When I saw myself, I felt really
empowered, like, hell yeah, I just did
this, she said. In a way, I felt like I had
accomplished something huge.
And in that one moment, Creger, of
Rocklin, had squashed the image of
her life she had held since childhood as
she watched her own mother go
through a 10-year struggle with breast
cancer only to die of the disease at 47
years old. Her moms life had involved
sickness, radiation, chemotherapy and
missed moments of her familys life.
Instead, by testing positive for the gene
mutation BRCA2 and making the hard
decision to have surgery, Creger felt she
had taken charge. Cancer had already
taken up too much of her life and she
didnt want to give it another minute.
Creger is sharing her journey through
a blog to help other women debating
whether to go forward with a preventive
mastectomy.
I figured the breasts I was born with
would try to kill me, so its probably just
best to get rid of them, she said of her
big decision.
Gene-testing for breast cancer
A womans risk of developing breast or
ovarian cancer is greatly increased if she
inherits a harmful mutation in the BRCA1
or BRCA2 gene. Men with these muta-
tions also have an increased risk, accord-
ing to the National Cancer Institute.
Actress Angelina Jolie carried the
BRCA1 gene mutation, and underwent
a bilateral mastectomy in April 2013, at
37 years old. Her mother had died from
breast cancer at 56 years old. Jolie was
told by doctors that she had an 87 per-
cent risk of getting breast cancer and 50
percent chance of ovarian cancer,
according to an op-ed she wrote for The
New York Times last year.
To have a woman who looks like that
say, I dont need my breasts, I choose life
thats huge, Creger said.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes produce
tumor-suppressing proteins that help
repair damaged DNA. If either of these
genes are mutated, that means they
wont function correctly and DNA dam-
age wont be repaired properly. That
means cells are more likely to develop
other genetic mutations that can lead
to cancer, according to the National
Cancer Institute.
A harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation
can be inherited from a mother or
father, and each child of a parent who
carries a mutation even when a sec-
ond copy of the gene is normal has a
50 percent chance of inheriting it.
Both gene mutations are rare. About 10
percent of BRCA1 and 2 tests come back
positive, according to Dr. Mindy Young-
Reeves, a general surgeon at Kaiser Per-
manente Roseville Medical Center.
I believe that genetic testing has
increased over time as it is being
addressed more aggressively in the
medical community, Young-Reeves said.

Roughly 12 percent of women will
develop breast cancer sometime during
their lives. But for those with the BRCA1
mutation that percentage increases to
55 percent to 65 percent; and people
with BRCA2 run a 45 percent chance.
Deciding to undergo surgery
When Creger was 10 years old, her
mother was diagnosed with breast can-
cer. Her grandmother was diagnosed at
53 years old, and Creger also had other
female relatives battling the disease.
The mother and daughter spoke
openly and Creger learned early on the
importance of monthly self-exams and
doctor checkups.
Cregers mother had a single mastec-
tomy, but the cancer came back in the
other breast and metastasized through-
out her body to her liver, bladder, skull
and hip. Her mother never cried in front
of her two children she also had a son
but broke down once when wonder-
ing what would have happened if only
shed had a double mastectomy.
Creger always figured she would devel-
op breast cancer. It felt inevitable. A cou-
ple years ago she found a lump, which
was biopsied and turned out to be a
benign tumor. But every few months,
another lump would be found, she said.
Every time its come out negative for
cancer, she said. But its hard going
through that roller coaster and thinking
this is it I could see it all panning out
like my own childhood.
She could envision herself telling
friends and family that she had cancer.
She could see herself going through
treatment and its side effects.
It became serious to get tested when
I started my family, she said. I knew
my mom did the best she could when
she was raising us, but she missed out
on a lot.
She had to miss dance recitals,
and soccer games and Creger couldnt
host sleepovers.
I wanted a different life for (my son
and daughter), she said. I wanted
them to be children longer.
At Kaiser, any patient with risk factors
first meets with a genetics counselor;
genetic testing is part of the medical cen-
ters breast clinic so that every patient with
breast cancer or a family history is dis-
cussed by whats called the breast cancer
tumor board, which includes surgeons,
oncologists, genetics counselors and
nurses, according to Young-Reeves.
In early 2013, a counselor determined
Creger qualified for genetic testing and
last May the results came back positive
for BRCA2. Creger said she was given an
87 percent lifetime chance of having
cancer.
I took the first few months to ignore
it, she said. I always knew a mastecto-
my was the course I would go. I just
wasnt ready.
Two months ago, she began the
process in earnest. In April, Dr. Young-
Reeves removed the majority of Cregers
breast tissue through a skin-spearing
process, in which the nipple, areola,
skin and entire breast down to the pec-
toralis major or chest muscle are
taken out. The skin closure is left loose
for implants.
A traditional mastectomy involves
the same removal but the chest is left
flat without extra skin, according to
Young-Reeves. Another, rarer proce-
dure, leaves the nipple.
Our decision to move forward with
the surgery was not an easy one to
make, however we felt that the surgery
would greatly reduce the chance of bat-
tling cancer later in Carries life, said
her husband, Jacob Creger. Ultimately,
this challenging surgery is an invest-
ment in the health and well-being of
our family.
His wife still has a higher risk for ovar-
ian cancer, but is waiting to decide if
they want any more kids before remov-
ing her ovaries; she now has a 3 year old
and 1 year old. Jacob has stuck by his
wifes side throughout the recovery
sleeping on the couch in the family
room next to the chair she sleeps in.
I still kind of feel shocked that I did
it, Creger said, a week post-surgery.
And its over.
Every time its come out
negative for cancer. But its
hard going through that roller
coaster and thinking this is it
I could see it all panning out
like my own childhood.

ngela Yanez has an opportu-
nity this summer that other
baseball fans dream about.
The 2004 Granite Bay High
graduate is one of eight participants,
or cave dwellers, in this years MLB
Fan Cave.
The Fan Cave allows for partici-
pants to interact with fans of Major
League Baseball through social
media, while communicating with
players in the digital-era mash-up of
entertainment and baseball.
For me, its about being able to
interact with the players and get to
know them beyond their stats, Yanez
said on the phone from New York City.
The cave is set up on 4th and Broad-
way in the Big Apple and MLB has
provided the participants with living
arrangements walking distance from
the studio where they watch baseball
every day, interact with fans and put
together online video packages.
Yanez studied sports journalism at
San Francisco State University and
covered sports for Comcast 27 in the
Bay Area and also worked at a CBS-
affiliate in Eugene, Oregon.
It is a passion of mine, said Yanez,
who now resides in Los Angeles.
When I found out about MLB Fan
Cave and knowing I could work with
my (San Francisco) Giants and also my
passion in journalism. Its great.
The former softball player for the
Grizzlies uses Twitter (@AngelaLauren1)
and Instagram (@angela_lauren) to
interact with fans.
Recently, Yanez did a photo shoot
with Miami Marlin players Garrett
Jones and Christian Yelich which
involved batting practice in the
middle of New York City with water
balloons.
The cave dwellers spend the entire
season, through the World Series, in
the cave.

The contest ended May 10, and Stamas was named Man of the Year. But he
said its the positive difference he made that really matters.
Stamas, a 16-year-old junior at Granite Bay High School, believes hes
grown mentally stronger while being involved in this nonprofit
competition. Looking on from the sidelines, his mother,
Debbie, agrees. Knowing her son was going toe-to-toe
with savvy career people, Debbie wondered how hed fare.
My first thought was, how can my son compete for
Man of the Year? And my second thought was, Why is my 16-
year-old running against five middle-aged men with estab-
lished incomes and friends with large incomes? Debbie
recalled. Its just Alex.

fences to compete for the title of Man of the Year, a spe-

Society that awards participants for raising the most
funds to fight blood cancer in a 10-week period.

Stamas and his supporters believe he is
the youngest person in recent memory
to have taken a serious run at becoming
the Leukemia and Lymphoma Societys
Man or Woman of the Year. The teen fell
into the fundraising race when he was
looking for extracurricular activities for
college. He still remembers popping in
on his first meeting for the endeavor.
The cause just took me, Stamas
recalled.
After attending several more meet-
ings, Stamass passion only grew. As the
teen became more knowledgeable and
involved with the fight against
leukemia, he grew more committed to
helping survivors. He now wants to
transition from being a volunteer to
eventually having a career as a doctor.
Alex is the kind of person that will go
out of his way to help anyone, said Glo-
ria Torres, a leukemia survivor and the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Societys
Woman of the Year for 2013. He loves
people, and the strong ones motivate
him.
Like Stamas, Torres understands the
importance of funding research and
testing around leukemia, and she
applauds Stamas for recognizing that at
such an early age.
For a young man his age, it is nice to
see such motivation, she said.
His determination comes from his
grandfather, an immigrant from Greece
who came to the United States with vir-
tually nothing and went on to start his
own business.
(My grandfather) motivates me, Sta-
mas said. He is my inspiration.
As Stamas pushed through the com-
petition, he stayed mindful that every
four minutes someone is diagnosed
with leukemia or another blood-borne
cancer. Someone dies from one of these
diseases every 10 minutes.
Stamas emphasizes that the competi-
tion has taught him that titles are trivial
and what matters is strength
and courage espe-
cially the kind of
determination it takes
to fight an awful dis-
ease.
The Man Of the
Year label has become
of little importance to
me now, he acknowl-
edged. Our goal is to
cure leukemia and
lymphoma, plain and
simple.
Granite Bay High junior Alex Stamas is passionate about raising money
for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society because of his grand-
mothers previous battle with leukemia.
The Man Of the Year label has become of little
importance to me now. Our goal is to cure leukemia
and lymphoma, plain and simple.

ive years into his teaching
career and Sean Healy
reached a point of frustra-
tion and uncertainty. Was
this really the right job? He
wasnt sure.
And then an administrator
named Kelly Graham arrived at
Olympus Junior High School in
2002 to become principal of
the Roseville school, which is
part of the Eureka Union
School District.
And that changed my
career, Healy said.
Graham brought with him a
student-centered, positive de-
meanor and started to im-
prove the campus culture. As a
result, Healy felt encouraged to
get more involved at the district
level and to take on some big
technology projects in the
classroom. And now, 12 years
later, hes still grateful for Gra-
hams guidance. Healy said
Graham has positively impact-
ed his life and thousands of
current and former students
can say the same.
On July 1, Graham will leave
Olympus Junior High for a
principal job at a K-8 charter
school in Auburn, a few min-
utes from his house, and Healy
will become head of the school
where hes worked for the past
17 years.
Im excited about it, but Im
very sad to leave Olympus,
Graham said.
During his tenure, Olympus
has become one of the top-
achieving schools in the Eureka
district, and has led the imple-
mentation of technological ad-
vancements, such as becoming
the first to use smart boards in
the classroom, send out weekly
electronic communications to
parents and set up teachers on
websites.
Graham said the administra-
tors focus on relationships with
teachers, students and parents
has resulted in the schools
many accomplishments.
Strategically, we as adminis-
trators nurture the relationship
side of the house because if you
take care of that you can do
great things with the academic
side, Graham said.
In a unique arrangement,
every student at Olympus is
part of student government
and can determine how much
to participate. Many kids will
give up their lunch breaks to
plan rallies and dances, and the
shy kids who might not want to
run for office dont feel left out.
Graham said he will miss his
colleagues, adding that its
been a team effort to get Olym-
pus to where it is today.
Its not a me thing. Its not
just about me, and I think thats
maybe an accomplishment,
he said.
Healy, who joined the school
17 years ago, started as a sci-
ence teacher before becoming
a department head and then
assistant principal. He earned
his credential from the Univer-
sity of California, Davis. While
seeking work, he went to a job
fair where the Eureka district
had a booth: I almost didnt
apply because I didnt want to
move to Eureka.
He quickly realized his mis-
take, applied and got a job.
Healy was recently honored as
co-administrator of the year by
the Association of California
Administrators.
(EUSD) has invested a lot in
me and I hope theyve gotten a
lot back on their investment,
he said.
Oakhills Elementary
School will also have a
new principal come July
when Collette Presley
takes over for Kevin Roche,
who has accepted a job in the
Loomis Union School District.
Presley graduated from the
University of
California,
Santa Bar-
bara, and
earned a
teaching credential, adminis-
trator credential and masters
degree from Sacramento State.
She has served as a teacher,
assistant principal and princi-
pal in Newcastle Elementary,
Rescue Union and Dry Creek
Joint Elementary districts.
She brings to Oakhills and
the EUSD community her pas-
sion and love for children,
enthusiasm for joining our
leadership team and her warm
and caring personality that will
soon be known to all, said
Superintendent Linda Rooney
in a notice to staff.
Presley said she looks for-
ward to returning to her home-
town she grew up down the
street from the district office.
I look forward to my next
chapter as an administrator,
she said. Im looking forward
to being part of the Eureka
Union School District. Its a
strong district and its where
my roots are.

Anyone who reads
this column regularly will
obviously know that the above
statement is simply not true.
Regardless, I have heard this
stated time and time again in
my ventures in and around the
greater Sacramento restaurant
world.
What are these people miss-
ing? Hidden gems are every-
where, and Granite Bay is no
exception. Finding them and
sharing them with the reading
public is what I do, and I hope
you enjoy it.
My most recent discovery of
yet another Granite Bay hidden
gem is what gave me the
thought that the above state-
ment is not only untrue, it is
downright absurd.
I have driven by Dominicks
Italian Market and Deli several
times, and each time I had the
thought, Ill bet that place is
good.
I finally decided to stop in and
check out what it is all about,
and guess what that place is
good.
Dominicks is an Italian deli,
trattoria and bar. A trattoria, as it
was described to me, is an Ital-
ian-style eatery less formal than
your typical Italian ristorante.
It doesnt look like much from
the outside most truly great
restaurants dont.
But inside with its light brown
stucco walls, authentic Italian
billboards and artwork, the trat-
toria is more reminiscent of
something you would find in
New York or San Francisco rather
than in Granite Bay.
There is a modest bar with
eight bar stools, a full selection
of liquors and a fine wine and
beer list.
The deli contains is an array of
Italian meats, cheeses, fresh-
made salads, bread and much
more.
The trattoria
serves lunch and
dinner, with just
about every option you
would expect from a fine
Italian restaurant, including piz-
za, pasta, sandwiches and more.
Husband and wife team
Dominick and Raquel Bellizzi
opened the deli about 10 years
ago. The trattoria, built out in an
elongated vacant space right
next to the deli, fol-
lowed three years later.
In the back of the dining
room hangs a large mirror
etched with the word Abbon-
donza, which in Italian means
abundance, richness and full-
ness.
On my recent visit, I certainly
experienced the meaning of
abbondonza.

You will need some napkins for this juicy burger! Serve this delicious, low-carb version for Father s Day or any time this
summer with a side of Zucchini Fries (recipe below). This will surely become a family favorite in yo ur home just as it is in ours.
Ingredients Needed:
For the cheeseburger:
1.25 pounds lean ground sirloin between 4-8% fat, or ground turkey
2 teaspoons burger seasoning of your choice (I like steak seasoning)
Four slices 2% Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Provolone, or cheese of your choice.
For the burger fixings:
12 Butter lettuce leaves, whole, washed
One large avocado, sliced into 8 wedges
One sliced red onion
Sliced tomatoes
Pickle spears
Cheeseburger a la Hendricks-Style Makes 4 Servings
For the zucchini fries:
2 medium-sized zucchini, cut into thirds and wedged
cup each ground almond meal & ground parmesan cheese
2 egg whites, slightly beaten
1 T. Italian or herb seasoning
Salt and pepper
Assembly:
1. Prepare the burger patties by mixing the seasoning into the meat and forming four patties. Get the g rill ready.
2. For the zucchini. Mix the dry seasoning together and put in a bowl. Dip the zucchini wedges in the egg whites, then into the
seasoning. Place the seasoned zucchini on a baking tray bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or so unt il the outside is browned.
3. While zucchini is baking, cook the burger patties to your liking, about 5 minutes on each side. Ad d the cheese as soon as you
take the patties off the grill.
4. Prepare individual plates with 3 lettuce leaves on each. Place cooked patties on top of lettuce lea ves and top each patty with a red
onion and tomato slice. Garnish the plate with pickle and avocado. We like to add a dollop of mayo and mustard to our burger.
5. Wrap the lettuce around the burger and take a bite with napkin close by.

A New Jersey native who grew
up working in his uncles Italian
deli, Dominick Bellizzi said
everything in abundance is
exactly the theme he wants to
convey to his guests.
When you leave here, you
are not going to leave hungry,
Bellizzi said.
After learning that Im a food
writer, our server, Daniela,
brought out dish after dish
after dish, so many samplings
from the kitchen in fact that we
had to use two plastic bags to
carry home the leftovers.
Abbondonza!
For starters, Daniela brought
out some samplings from the
deli tomato and mozzarella
salad, marinated olives, tortelli-
ni salad, grilled artichoke and
garlic shrimp cocktail.
All were fresh and delicious,
especially the totellini salad
which we found rich, hearty
and delightful.
Next we tried the beef carpac-
cio, which was made up of raw
beef tenderloin (filet mignon)
pressed flat, house-made pesto,
shaved parmesan and a drizzle
of balsamic vinegar.
It was one of the best beef
carpaccio dishes I have had
anywhere.
We found the calamari frites
to be a hefty portion of lightly
breaded rings and tentacles,
served with a side of marinara
for dipping.
I am a sucker for a good
chicken parmesan sandwich,
and this one did not disappoint.
It was large, cheesy, messy and
delicious.
As we were starting to feel full,
the dishes continued to flow
from the kitchen, of course.
Abbondonza!
Daniela highly recommended
the chicken piccata, which is
usually a dish I steer away from
when I see it on a menu, not
because I dont like it but mainly
because I find it so basic.
This piccata, however,
renewed my faith in the dish. It
was served with grilled chicken
breast served over a bed of lin-
guine with lemons, capers and
garlic in a white wine and butter
sauce.
The dish also had a hint of red
pepper, which added a really
nice touch of spice.
Of course, no meal like this
would be complete without a
hearty and healthy portion of
desert, and Daniela proudly
presented us with cannoli (a
pastry filled with ricotta cheese
and chocolate chips) and dark
chocolate gelato, which we
found to be rich, silky, creamy
and smooth.
If I had to pass judgment on
Dominicks Italian Market and
Deli, which I will, I would have
to say the husband and wife
have an excellent concept with
the deli, restaurant and bar and
the place hits on all the right
notes in terms of execution.
Virtually everything on the
lunch and dinner menus are in
the $20 range or less, and all
entrees are served with soup or
salad and rustic Italian bread.
The wine list is tightly packed
with several nice Italian selec-
tions including a fine selection
of chianti, valpolicella and bar-
bera, and even an option for
true wine geeks who like their
super Tuscans, barolo or
brunello di montalcino.
There are also some nice
selections from California
including an old vine zinfandel
and a reserve barbera from the
nearby Shenendoah Valley.
At the time of our visit, there
were four beers on tap Birra
Morretti (an Italian lager), Eye of
the Hawk (a craft beer from
Mendocino County), Coors Lite
and Blue Moon.
There is also a menu per
bambini for children ages 12
and under.
If you are like me and have
heard it time and time again,
There are no good restaurants
in Granite Bay, please do your-
self a favor.
Chuckle to yourself, then take
your foodie friend to this deli
and trattoria, and see if it wont
change their mind.

There are hundreds of trails for running,
walking, biking and even horseback riding.
Some of them are surprisingly unpopulat-
ed, if you know where to look.
Just ask Anne Casagrande, or any member of
the gO! Running Group, a team of both casual
and serious runners that organized at Fleet Feet,
a running shoe and apparel store in Roseville.
Cool has some of the best trails anywhere,
said Casagrande, an ultra-marathon runner
who coaches the team. I especially love run-
ning on trails near the water, so Folsom Lake
trails around Lake Natoma are favorites, as
well.
The group meets several times a week for long
and short runs, and some of their regular jaunts
include Maidu Park in Roseville, and Beals Point
in Granite Bay.
David Heitman, gO! team member, loves trail
runs in the foothills.
I like running in Cool and Auburn. The views
keep you coming back, Heitman said. But I
also enjoy running in Clover Valley in Rocklin.
There are nice, wide roads and sidewalks and
lots of trees.
When it comes to enjoying the outdoors from
a higher vantage point, Los Lagos Equestrian,
Inc. in Granite Bay offers trail riding for both
beginners and experienced equestrians.
Our program caters to beginners from 3 years
old to the more advanced riders, said Heather
Kelly, the centers barn manager.

The weather is perfect for getting outside and
enjoying these gorgeous spring days.
So what are you waiting for?
0531GBV026 5/16/2014 5:27 PM Page 26
Riders can enjoy trails that run from
Los Lagos all the way to Cool, and down
to Sacramento, heading in the opposite
direction.
Hidden Falls Loop Trail, located in
Auburn, is another popular trail for both
hikers and people on horseback.
The loop is an easy walk, and theres a
waterfall and accessible stream that
serves as a swimming hole for visitors,
as well as a raised observation deck and
seating area.
If youre interested in taking up a new
outdoor sport, there are several activi-
ties to try, at least once.
Final 9 Sports disc golf, located in
Johnson-Springview Park in Rocklin and
in Orangevale Community Park in
Orangevale offers 18-hole disc golf, and
course use is free.
One of the great things about the
sport is that you can play as an individ-
ual or in a group, said Bruce Knisley,
Final 9 Sports owner. The course is one
of the most heavily used areas in John-
son-Springview Park. Theres always a
group on every tee.
Many people arent familiar with disc
golf. The sport involves using up to 20
discs in a game, with discs varying in
size, similar to the variety in golf clubs.
You can rent your discs through us.
Its possible for players to throw their
discs up to 500 feet, Knisley said. The
course itself is in a public park, and its
free to play. In nice weather we are typi-
cally half-full on weekdays, and booked
solid on weekends.
If you prefer getting wet, youll want to
visit Wake Island watersports, located
off Baseline Road in Pleasant Grove. The
facility offers wakeboarding, wakeskat-
ing and paddle boarding. The 80-acre
park offers a two-tower cable system for
beginners and a five-tower system for
those with experience. Visitors can use
the observation area, beach and sand-
wich shop for free.
Outdoor opportunities are just about
everywhere, so get out there and soak
up some sun.
No need to wait.

ts all about the marriage of 1,000-year-old tradition with
the most current of amenities in this stunning Shel-
borne Tudor.
The architect who created this home was brilliant. The
exterior says old world tradition, with its turrets, para-
pets and a touch of classic Tudor style. But the inside is
light filled, outfitted in marble and has stunning hardware that
are all todays most sought-after materials.
Shelborne is filled with large estate homes on acreage, and 7800
Shelborne is no exception. Located on nearly an acre of carefully
manicured grounds, this is the rare home that will invoke love at
first sight.
And the property is even more spectacular within. Marble floors
are what first catches the eye, along with a stunning, curved stair-
case outfitted in wrought iron, dark wood and fine carpet.
They did a beautiful job keeping the traditional aspects while
making the home current, said Joey Aronson of Lyon Real Estate.
The dining room, alone, is like a ballroom, all chandeliers and
marble with a high sheen.
And the large, luxury kitchen can easily produce meals fit for
kings, with its mix of dark wood and distressed ivory cabinets. The
room includes an island with a four-burner cook top and veggie
sink. The space also includes double ovens, a built-in microwave,

a dishwasher, compactor, cabi-
net style refrigerator and freez-
er and a walk-in pantry.
The most glorious aspect of
the kitchen, though, is the view.
Windows in the breakfast room
overlook a formal pool and you
can also see the propertys full-
sized tennis court and the pri-
vate lake in the distance.
Heading out back, youll see
the grounds are every bit as
spectacular as the front of the
home. The estate includes a
built-in barbeque pit, a large
formal pool and a raised hot
tub surrounded in stone. But
the defining feature of this
space is the outdoor living
room a marriage of rustic
exposed beams and river rock,
and pre-cast elegance. A fire-
place with hearth is the areas
focal point.
Back indoors, the home
offers numerous access points
to the outside, including an
oversized full bath, which is
pool accessible. The bath
includes a large custom
pedestal and a rare arched
shower space comprised of
mosaic bronze tile.
As many women can attest,
the favorite room in the home
is often the room that offers the
most convenience. In this case
it would be the laundry room.
The space is easily large
enough to be a bedroom, and
includes travertine topped cab-
inetry, an office and enough
storage to accommodate even
the largest familys needs.
Another of Aronsons favorite
rooms is the secret room in
the master wing. The master
itself is something that must be
seen to be fully appreciated.
The secret room is a large
game-style room that is
accessed through a revolving
bookcase in the private retreat.
Currently used as a home gym,
theres no end to how the room
might be utilized.
The master itself includes a
soaring, sloped ceiling along
with a living-room sized seating
area. This retreat has two bal-
conies, one large with ample
room for numerous patio sets,
the other a small balcony in
which to enjoy the views of the
neighborhood and the music of
cascading water below. The
bath is a study in caramel mar-
ble, with dual vanities, a make-
up area and a sunken, jetted
tub. The room includes a show-
er with dual rain heads, as well
as numerous hand-held shower
fixtures. The bath even includes
a steam room and the suite has
a large built-in reading chaise
and library. Other amenities
include a bidet and a high-tech
toilet.
For those in need of addi-
tional living quarters or a pri-
vate office, the upstairs offers a
detached apartment that can
be accessed from the master
balcony or from an iron stair-
case in the backyard.
The home has numerous
rooms that defy description
a formal office, a remote guest
bedroom with elegant, marble
topped built-ins and views,
and a bar that includes a gran-
ite-topped seating area.
If youve been looking for
a home thats fit for a king,
look to this ultimate Shelborne
estate.

designer Nooshin Ghaffaris dining room.
2: The family room in her Granite Bay home has a rich Persian
look and feel.
Interior
designer
Nooshin
Ghaffari and
her son Sam
Nassirian.
ooshin Ghaffari may have turned her fur-
niture business over to her son to operate,
but that doesnt mean her passion for interi-
or design has lessened with the transition.
Her lifelong interest in making the interi-
or of homes beautiful persists.
I love it, she said. Its just something in
my system.
Ghaffari cant pinpoint an exact source of
inspiration when she does a design project
instead just going with what comes to mind
and making sure to actively involve the client
in the process. Her own house is Persian-
inspired.
Ghaffari, who grew up in Iran, has lived in
many houses throughout the course of her life
and has taken pleasure in decorating each one
to her tastes. She moved to Granite Bay in the
early 1990s, and has lived in the Los Lagos gated
community since 2008.
Its so peaceful (here), she said.
Ghaffari opened her own furniture and design
business in 1997, and a few years ago her 24-year-
old son, Saman (Sam) Nassirian, picked up the
reigns. The proud mother also has a daughter,
who has graduated law school.
Sams Design Gallery is located on Watt Avenue
in North Highlands. The business carries furniture
for bedrooms, dining rooms and living rooms, and
prides itself on guaranteeing low prices.

Its tough for these
guys, coach Esposito
said. Its tough because
theyve been together for
four years and a lot of
these guys have been
together for a lot of years,
even in the summer time.
So there are a lot of emo-
tions going on in their
heads knowing that this is
the last time they will
wear a Granite Bay base-
ball uniform.
Losing isnt easy, and
this one might have been
one of the hardest to for-
get.
With one out in the bot-
tom of the ninth, Davis
junior Jared McNece hit a
high chopper to the mid-
dle of the infield, reaching
second basemen Devin
Lehman as Trey Golston
crossed the plate to give
the Blue Devils the win.
The game lived up to its
hype.
Hart, who is headed to
University of Southern
California on scholarship,
was on the mound for
Granite Bay and Davis ace
Matt Trask, headed to
rival University of Califor-
nia, Los Angeles, toed the
rubber in the opposite
bullpen.
Fans and scouts alike
were out in droves to see
this epic opening-round
game.
Both pitchers went sev-
en innings, yielding just
one run apiece while
blazing radar guns with
fastballs in the 90s.
Friends, Trask and Hart
both spoke highly of each
other afterwards.
It was unbelievable,
Trask said of his battle
against his former travel
ball teammate. It was
great competition. He did
a great job.
Through the tears, after
huddling together with
his fellow seniors, Hart
said It was a battle from
the start.
Hart gave up five hits
and struck out five Davis
batters in his final start as
a Grizzly.
Hes going to be a
tough guy to replace in
the lineup, coach Espos-
ito said. The guy has
been awesome for us all
year long. Hes just the
type of kid that is going to
compete. You dont get
too many guys like that in
your life and Ive only had
a handful of guys, and he
is one of them.
After six seasons coach-
ing, Esposito will no
longer have a son to
coach at Granite Bay.
After Nate, now playing at
Oregon State, and Vinny,
who will play at Sacra-
mento State next season,
Esposito said its time for
a different chapter in our
lives. Vinny hit the game
winner in the regular sea-
son finale and scored the
lone run in the Davis
game for Granite Bay.
I enjoyed every minute
with him, coach Esposito
said. It was a blast.

GAME
OVER
The Granite Bay High baseball team took
their time getting off the field on the
evening of May 12 at Davis High School
after a 2-1 defeat in the first round of the
Sac-Joaquin Section Division I North play-
offs, which ended their season.
Coach Pat Esposito chose his words
deliberately, knowing this would be the
last postgame speech he would make to
11 seniors.
For those, like Mitch Hart, Vinny Esposi-
to and a handful of other Grizzlies, the
journey will continue at the college level.
For others, this was the last time donning
a Grizzlies jersey, and possibly a baseball
jersey ever in a competitive manner.

The View: How long has
your Granite Bay office
been open, and how did
you learn about these new
therapies, which include
Lipo-Light body sculpting?
Dr. Russell: Weve been
here since December. I
had been consulting with
another doctor in Capito-
la using these therapies,
and I saw how much they
helped people people
just raved about how
many inches they were
losing. Im originally from
this area, so my wife and I
decided to come back
home and open an office.
The View: What are the
therapies?
Dr. Russell: We do micro-
current facials, clinical
nutrition and Lipo-Light
to eliminate inches. Start-
ing with a nutritional
analysis is helpful. We start
by testing 46 different

ve been working out, but just cant lose

things, including your skin,
respiration, blood pres-
sure, carbon dioxide
based on the test results,
we can see if you have an
imbalance in your body.
There are up to five imbal-
ances: blood sugar, elec-
trolytes, oxygen, acid vs.
alkaline and the sympa-
thetic and parasympathet-
ic system. These imbal-
ances can cause skin issues
and issues in losing weight
or inches. Its amazing how
easy it is to correct some of
these imbalances.
The View: Whats a
microcurrent facial?
Dr. Russell: Using a small
amount of electric current,
an esthetician stimulates
the muscles in the face.
You may feel a mild tingle,
and many people dont
feel anything at all. We also
use a propriety collagen
mask here that will show
results immediately.
Chelsea Buck, esthetician:
The microcurrent facial is
basically a workout for
your face. And our colla-
gen products have no
preservatives or parabens.
The View: Whats the sci-
ence behind Lipo-Light?
Dr. Russell: Lipo-Light
was developed in England
to treat back pain. When
clinicians noticed that
people were losing inches
in the areas (where) the
lights were placed, they
learned the laser light actu-
ally opens fat cells, which
are filled with glycogen
and fatty acids. The light
puts tiny holes in the cells,
which liquefies the tiny
curds of fat. The light
breaks down that fat,
which then leaves the cell,
and the cell closes back up
within a day or two. The
person then is able to burn
the fat during exercise or
the fat is eliminated
through waste.
The View: Is this a magic
bullet?
Dr. Russell: No.
We request that people
exercise for at least 30
minutes a day, and if a per-
son goes out and eats a
cheeseburger and fries
right after the treatment,
they arent going to lose
inches. To be successful,
the person needs to drink
plenty of water and exer-
cise to assist in the elimi-
nation process.
The View: How many
treatments are we talking?
Dr. Russell: Give us six to
10 weeks and we can take
nearly anyone down one to
three pants or dress sizes.
The View: What about
cost?
Dr. Russell: The price
typically ranges from
$800 to $1,000 for maxi-
mum inch loss.

A wise man once said that. A
wise man that saw people who
were struggling to care for fami-
ly members without access to
resources they needed. A man
who met people who didnt
realize there were products to
improve their loved ones care,
and products to make them
more comfortable, more mobile
and help them enjoy a better
quality of life.
That wise man is Roderick
Meskell, Sr., a man who realized
the need was so great that he
didnt just open one medical
supply store, he opened four.
This is a family run busi-
ness, Meskell said. We opened
our first store in Elk Grove two
years ago, and my son, Roderick
Jr., loved Granite Bay so much
that we opened a store on
Auburn Folsom less than a year
ago.
Meskells grandson, Ray
Meskell, runs the Granite Bay
store, and according to him,
Meskells makes every effort to
help customers realize there are
tools and equipment to
improve quality of life, while
saving money.
With all the changes in
Medicare, people need a store
like this more than ever, Ray
Meskell said. We have four
stores, so we can order in bulk
to reduce prices for customers
were just trying to help them
out.
Its easy to imagine a herd of
motorized scooters or a phalanx
of wheelchairs. But Meskells
carries products you likely dont
know about, such as specialized
compression socks and items
designed to help caregivers deal
with incontinence.
People dont really know
that there are products that can
help in these areas, Roderick
Meskell said. Were here to
educate; to show people whats
possible, whether they choose
to purchase from us, or not.
There has been an explosive
increase in the use of motor-
ized scooters for people with
mobility issues, whether due to
stroke, leg problems or weight
struggles. According to
Medicare.com, Medicare Part B
will pay for much of a scooters
cost, but only after a doctor has
written a prescription for the
device.
Due to a bidding process,
most medical supply stores,
said Roderick Meskell, are
cash and carry with cus-
tomers purchasing, then sub-
mitting paperwork to Medicare
for possible reimbursement.
There used to be some
embarrassment about using
scooters, but that stigma is
changing, Meskell said.
Todays scooters fold up and
fit into your trunk. And often-
times, if you see people who
dont seem like they need to be
in a scooter, its a safety issue.
Its peace of mind for people to
have the device.
The good news about scoot-
ers, wheelchairs and other
large equipment is that
Meskells offers rentals to help
customers decide if the equip-
ment is right for them.
Meskells also takes care of all
the warranties for customers,
and offers repair service, as
well.

eople may buy consignment furniture to fur-
nish a new apartment, highlight existing dcor
or to refresh their outlook on life by refreshing
their rooms all without spending a fortune.
Or, they may just want to shop.
For some reason I cant explain, women really like to
shop, said Johnny Crowell, one of the owners of the
Home Consignment Center, with stores in Roseville
and Folsom. Nobodys ever going to say to me, Hey,
Johnny, you and Bill want to go shopping? Probably
not going to happen.
Whatever the reason, there is ample opportunity to
shop for eclectic, unique or basic consignment furni-
ture in the area surrounding Granite Bay.
BY MARGARET SNIDER
wo families started the
Home Consignment Cen-
ter with one store in Danville
20 years ago. The business
now includes 16 individual
furniture stores.
We own them, said John-
ny Crowell. But the people
that operate them participate
in the profits and get to make
a lot of ownership decisions.
Though each store sells a lot
of items from peoples homes
or from estate sales, 25 percent
to 50 percent of the pieces at
the Roseville and Folsom
Home Consignment Centers
have never been used.
Beyond having slightly
used items, we get model
homes, we get samples, close-
out or from stores closing
down. So its a huge variety,
said Yvonne Chinevere, man-
ager of the Roseville store.
Many people come in look-
ing for one thing, and leave
having found something
entirely different.
This is a treasure hunt,
Chinevere said. If you want
to look for anything, youre
going to have to search the
entire store. Its just exciting.
Chinevere remembers a lot
of unique items that have
come through, one of them
an original Chinese princess
carrier.
You could tell just by the
age and the wear and how it
was constructed that it had
been brought over (from Chi-
na), Chinevere said. The
gentleman who bought it was
going to turn it into a bed for
his daughter.
Lois Richards, manager of
the Folsom Home Consign-
ment Center, has been with
the company for four years.
She sees special pieces come
through the door every day.
The movement is almost
synergistic with the operation
of the store, Richards said.
You dont get that sense of a
big mover coming and hordes
of furniture going out because
theyre by piece. So its more
of a quiet thing.
alking through Hand
Pickin Emporium in
Rocklin is truly a treasure
hunt. So many items fill the
shelves that it seems impossi-
ble to see them in one day,
much less in an hour or two.
We pride ourselves on hav-
ing a little bit of everything for
every type of dcor, said Bar-
bara Velasco, co-owner of the
store with Robert Pratt. We
have shabby chic, midcentury,
rustic, 1800s furniture, art
deco and just plain cool.
The emporium rents out
spaces to dealers who may spe-
cialize in a particular niche. A
lot of the large furniture is on
individual consignment.
We do only consign what
we say is the old and the
unusual, Velasco said. So

omen love nooks
and crannies to walk
through, said Center Stage
Consignment owner La Donna
Ibarra. It makes it fun I
always have coffee, and I always
have cookies or candy to add to
the walk through the space.
An engraved sign on the
counter provides a tongue-in-
cheek encouragement to the
women coming in without
their husbands: Your hus-
band called and said you can
buy anything you want.
The setting of the store has a
rural feel to it to reflect New-
castle. Within sight of the door
is a picturesque tunnel run-
ning underneath a railroad
overpass.
The other day I walked
outside, it was raining, and a
train was going by, Ibarra
said. I saw the rainbow over
the top of the train and it was
just the most beautiful ambi-
ence It is definitely coun-
tryside, but its not that far
from Granite Bay.
Though new to consign-
ment sales, Ibarra was a
stager for some time, particu-
larly for model homes. She
opened her store in January
2013, and she loves unusual
or hard to find consignment
items. The store keeps prices
at a reasonable level.
The basics of any home are
my staples, but I love getting
pieces that are really unique,
Ibarra said. I look for some-
thing that somebody else
might not have.
One unusual item was a
wooden Indian refurbished
by a local artist.
Another was a genuine
Coney Island carousel horse.
But like other consignment
stores, pieces come and go
all the time, and the floor
changes daily.
really cool furniture, signs,
coke machines, things like
that we consign and get good
money for (the seller). It works
out for both of us.
One time, a prop scout came
from Hollywood to buy gold
miner pieces and tools. Pho-
tographers frequent the shop
looking for accessories for pho-
to shoots. Recently, a local
school celebrating pioneer his-
tory rented an old buggy seat
that they used as a decoration
and for photos of the kids.
Velasco and Pratt started the
business online in 2008 and it
became brick and mortar in
2010. They moved to the pres-
ent location in 2013.
We do only consign what
we say is the old and the
unusual. So really cool
furniture, signs, coke
machines, things like that.

This sounds like a scene from
church or a school dance, but these
kindergarteners through third
graders were celebrating something
else: their stories being chosen for
the Friends of the Granite Bays
annual Young Writers Showcase.
The pride was evident on an April
afternoon in the library. Proud kids,
parents, grandparents and teachers
watched as the children received
awards based on their unique stories.
Greenhills School first grader Tay-
lor Webster was all smiles as she
stood next to her environmental sto-
ry about an ant.
She just loves going outside, said
her mom, Jamie Webster. We were
so surprised and excited for her to be
recognized. Were very proud.
Nancy Roszkowski, third-grade
teacher at Oakhills School, was
proud of her student Corinn Jent
who shared a science-related piece
on the planet Uranus.
Corinn is a natural writer she
really enjoys it, Roszkowski said.
This work shows not only her ability
to do research, it also shows a lot of
creativity.
The creative vibe was obvious as
kids were presented with ribbons
and then treated to a puppet show
featuring Jan Sanders, a nationally
known educator and puppeteer who
lives in Granite Bay.
This special event honoring chil-
drens accomplishments happened
with hard work and funding from
Friends of the Granite Bay Library, a
nonprofit organization founded to
support the Granite Bay Library in
1995.
The Friends group has become
active again with a new board and a
goal to raise funds to support the
library and its patrons.
Local libraries depend on auxil-
iary groups like the Friends to offer
programs, as well as to purchase
new materials and equipment, due
to decreases in state and county
funding, said Friends President,
Rhonda Tory.
The event originated 15 years ago
and today requires a slew of volun-
teers who decorate, create invita-
tions, gather refreshments from vari-
ous vendors and coordinate with
teachers.
Friends of the Granite Bay Library
is always accepting new members,
and the group raises funds through
events, such as the annual crab feed.
The idea is to make the library a
meeting place for the community,
Tory said.
Mission accomplished. During
the Young Writers Showcase the
community was out in force, and
there were hundreds of smiles to go
around.

ranite Bay High Schools Green
Grizzly Machine was awarded
first place in the urban
concept/alternative fuel category
at the Shell Eco Marathon Americas 2014
competition in Houston on April 27. The
team won medals, a trophy and $2,000.
The teams fuel-efficient car drove at
102.3 miles per gallon.
This was an incredible achievement
for a rookie high school team, wrote
parent Debbie Gordon, who attended
the event. We competed against 100-
plus entries from the U.S., Canada and
Latin America most of them from uni-
versity engineering departments with
years of experience and generous budg-
ets. Some teams had been working on
their cars for over two years.
According to Gordon, the weekend
was full of challenges for Granite Bays
team. First, before even leaving for Hous-
ton, the electrical control unit burned
out and the car wouldnt start. A new unit
was express-shipped to Houston and
quickly installed by team members.
On the second day in Houston, the
cars fuel line, brakes, chassis, steering,
body, electric system/lights and motor
were inspected by Shell technicians.
Contest rules allowed a car to weigh a
maximum 450 pounds, and Granite
Bays weighed in at 424 pounds, accord-
ing to Gordon.
Driver Nicho Steiner started the
Green Grizzly Machine on its first official
run on the .6 mile track, completing 7.5
laps before the fuel gave out 10 laps
(are) required to finish the course, Gor-
don wrote, which meant more attempts,
and a broken chain.
Once that was fixed, Nicho and back-
up driver, Amanda Gordon, tested the
car and determined it was ready to go for
two final track runs. Amanda drove 9.5
laps before running out of gas 100 feet
short of the finish line, but made it across
on the final attempt with less than a
teaspoon of fuel left.
Another team mom, Caitlin Brown,
said her son, Austin, was up 24-hours
straight the first day between flying to
Houston and working on the car.
He came home really tired, but
learned a lot, Brown said.

A
year ago this sum-
mer, a dear family
member suffered an
untimely death.
My brother-in-law, an
ultra-marathoner who
was in remarkable physi-
cal condition, died of
heat stroke while running
a race. It was a hot day,
and he had loaned his
water bottle to another
runner who was strug-
gling to finish.
His tragic demise
underlines the impor-
tance of adequate hydra-
tion as we head into the
hot summer months in
and around Granite Bay
especially when we are
physically active and
dehydration can rapidly
occur.
Id like to share infor-
mation about how you
and your family can stay
healthy during the sum-
mer. Let me start with
dehydration, since my
brother-in-law is still on
the minds of me and my
family.
Simply put, dehydration
is when the body loses too
much fluid more than
what it takes in which
can happen because of
exercise, diarrhea, vomit-
ing and sweating.
Normally, our bodies
are able to reabsorb fluid
from our blood and oth-
er body tissues, but if
thats not enough to
make up for lack of fluid,
our blood cant reach
our organs, which then
becomes a life and death
situation.
Babies and the elderly
are most at risk of dehy-
dration.
Symptoms of the onset
of dehydration: Include
being thirstier than usual,
and passing less urine
than usual, both of which
can be helped by drink-
ing more fluids.
Symptoms of moderate
dehydrati on: Incl ude
being a lot thirstier than
usual, or your mouth
and eyes are drier than
usual or you dont uri-
nate for more than eight
hours. Be sure to stop
your activity, drink fluids
and seek shade or air
conditioning.
Symptoms of severe
dehydrati on: Incl ude
when your mouth and
eyes are extremely dry,
you havent urinated in
12 hours, youre not feel-
ing alert or thinking
clearly and youre too
dizzy to stand. Call 911.
So remember, whether
youre running a mara-
thon, walking around the
block or working in your
garden, always have a
water bottle at your side.

Head These
Summer Safety Tips
Dr. Chris
Palkowski
HERE ARE OTHER SUMMER SAFETY TIPS:
SUN PROTECTION
Ultraviolet rays are an invisible form of radiation that can
cause long-lasting damage to our eyes and skin, not to
mention bad sunburns. Its best to stay out of the sun
between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., but if you need to be outdoors,
use sunscreen with SPF of 30 or higher; wear clothing that
protects your body, including long-sleeve shirts and long
pants; use sunglasses; wear a hat with a wide brim. Also,
seek shade and drink plenty of water.
WATER SAFETY
Its unfortunate that we learn about people who drown in
our local rivers and pools every summer, especially when we
know that life jackets can make a difference. Drowning is
the leading cause of death and injury for children under age
5 in California, so please keep a close eye on your kids when
theyre playing in or near a body of water.
EXERCISE
Drink water before, during and after exercise, and avoid
physical exertion during the hottest part of the day.
Remember to take frequent breaks and avoid exercising
when the thermometer marks 90 degrees and higher, or
when its humid.
INSECT BITES AND STINGS
If you wear appropriate clothing and apply insect repellant
with DEET to clothing, shoes and exposed skin, youll avoid
bites and stings. Products for children should contain less
than 10 percent DEET. If you are bitten or stung by an insect,
remove the stinger (if applicable) and use ice to lessen pain,
itching and swelling.
Enjoy the summer, and be safe.

ith all apologies to Jeff
Foxworthy and his blue
collar comedy (his
phrase, not mine) followers, I
came up with a list of you
might want to refinance if in
hopes that we in the lending
business can take care of those
last few homeowners in what
appears to be the end of 15-
year refi boom.
If this you might need a refi-
nance if thing proves
catchy, expect to find this
phrase on T-shirts and coffee
mugs at a grandparents house
near you. Lets get started.
You have monthly mortgage
insurance: Not much to think
about here. Odds are that ones
home has had equity accelera-
tion in recent years. Consult
with the current lender on
terms to get relief from month-
ly mortgage insurance.
If no solution with the cur-
rent lender, chances are good
that a refinance with todays
current rates and current home
values could present a lower
payment.
You have a 15-year mortgage
and want to pump the breaks
on your monthly obligation:
Hey, I get it; I am a huge fan of
eliminating debt, too. Seeing a
monthly principal shrink with
every monthly statement can
give one a great feeling of
accomplishment.
But at some point during a
15-year loan, a borrower might
look at the greatly reduced
principal and say, Ive been
busting my hump to pay this
home off in 15 years. I am tired
of this steep payment. I can get
a new 30-year mortgage and
save hundreds every month.
Going from 15 years to 30
years could create a tremendous
difference for someone looking
for a lower monthly payment,
perhaps cutting a monthly
mortgage payment in half.
The downside: the dream of
paying the home off quickly
will have to wait.
You have an ARM (Adjustable
Rate Mortgage): Borrowers with
ARMSs should speak to a
mortgage professional at least
once a year to make sure that
their situation is right for an
ARM. When it comes time for
an ARM rate to adjust, it can
mean immediate higher pay-
ments, which can catch a bor-
rower off guard and create an
immediate need to explore
new loan options.
An annual meeting with a
mortgage professional can
advise you on questions like:
Should I stay with this loan, or
does it make sense to get a fixed
loan?
Usually the answers are
found in the borrowers desire
to stay in the home, but other
factors such as current market
rates and time left on the fixed
portion come into play.
You have an interest only loan:
In circumstances of interest
only loans, these borrowers
may be shocked when the inter-
est only period on their loans
are up. In some cases, the new
required payment can double
because now those deferred
principal payments are due.
These newly required principal
payments are going to be higher
because most interest only
loans have a life of 30-years.
The period where the loan
allows interest only is generally
between 5 and 15 years.
Borrowers in this pending
situation may want to consider
a new refinance and go with a
stable 30-year amortization
payment.
Even though this situation
sets the clock on a new 30-year
mortgage, there can be a posi-
tive feeling in knowing that
your payments will be the
same for the life of the loan.
You have a 30-year loan and
want to lessen your rate and
fixed period: For borrowers con-
sidering a refinance of a lesser
amortization period, such as 10,
15, 20 or 25 years, generally the
shorter the loan term, the lower
the interest rate.
Tip: In the interest of pay-
ment shock (where a borrower
suddenly has to make a much
higher monthly payment than
they are making currently),
before taking on this refinance,
borrowers should test their
ability to make this new higher
payment for a period of at least
6 months.
If you pass the payment test,
then this could be a good fit to
bring on the lower rate and low-
er amortization period.
Beware: This tip will likely
increase your monthly pay-
ment, but the joy of owning your
home free and clear is in sight.

ets face it: Some days you
just dont feel like exercis-
ing. You get too busy, too
stressed and too tired.
But this shouldnt stop you
from lacing up your shoes and
heading out for a workout!
Heres a list of 13 of the top
reasons to exercise. Pull out
this list and read it when you
need a reminder of why exactly
exercise is worth your time.
1. To Prevent Disease
Exercise has been proven to
reduce the risk of just about
every single health problem
known to man, from stroke to
heart disease to cancer and
osteoporosis. Exercise is also a
great defense against type 2
diabetes, which is one of the
most widely growing diseases
of our time.
2. To Look Great
Exercise firms your body,
improves posture and even
makes your skin glow. Looking
your best is a wonderful result
of regular exercise.
3. To Lose Weight
And Keep It Off
Exercise burns fat and pre-
vents future fat storage. If you
want to have a thinner, health-
ier body, exercise is the answer.
4. To Have More Energy
People who exercise regular-
ly will tell you they are more
energetic and peaceful, and
less easily irritated.
5. To Sleep Better
Exercise boosts energy levels,
but also wears you out. It
makes you feel more vibrant
during the day and sleep better
at night.
6. To Age Slower
Exercise is one of the most
effective ways to fight aging.
When you age, your body loses
muscle and bone. But the loss of
both is drastically reduced with
regular exercise. Exercise also
helps reduce inflammation.
7. To Relieve Back Pain
In most cases, the best thing
you can do for back pain is to
move and strengthen those mus-
cles. Consult your physician or
physical therapist for guidance.
8. To Ease Depression
Exercise has been proven to
reduce depression some-
times even as effectively as
medication. Just chalk this up
as yet another amazing benefit
to exercise.
9. To Reduce Aches
And Pains
By strengthening muscles
around your damaged joints,
youre able to use exercise to
reduce joint pain and overall
aches. Always consult your
physician before starting an
exercise program, especially if
you have chronic joint pain.
10. To Stay Mentally Sharp
Exercise has been shown to
improve memory and other cog-
nitive functions, and seems to
have a protective effect against
dementia. A Harvard University
researcher called exercise Mira-
cle-Gro for the brain.
11. To Enjoy Your Lifestyle
Whatever you love in life
your kids, travel, sports, fash-
ion becomes more enjoy-
able when experienced in a fit
and healthy body. Exercise so
you are able to enjoy all the
great things in life.
12. To Reduce Sick Days
People who exercise regularly
are 50 percent less likely to call
in sick to work. A regular exer-
cise program reduces colds and
upper respiratory infections.
13. To Boost Confidence
Being fit, feeling healthy and
having energy are building
blocks to having great confi-
dence. There is no better confi-
dence booster than sticking
with a regular exercise program.
Regular exercise gives you
many amazing benefits, so dont
let the hustle and bustle of the
summer derail you from your
exercise routine. Plan ahead and
stick to it. Youll be glad you did.

ave you ever had a
medical situation
that scared you or
caught you off guard? Do
you know what to ask,
who to talk to and how to
prepare for a potential
problem?
A Harsh Reality
Mary is an active, re-
tired woman 72 years old.
She was living and mak-
ing decisions just as she
had done for many years.
She took her medications
faithfully, although she
didnt know much about
them or why she took
them. She also took Acet-
aminophen regularly for
chronic low back pain.
On an uneventful day,
walking in the parking lot
of her favorite store, Mary
suddenly felt hot and
dizzy, she collapsed and
soon discovered she was
having a heart attack. The
emergency medical tech-
nicians who came to
Marys aid had no idea
what medications she was
taking, as she could not
remember nor did she
have a list with her. Med-
ication information would
have expedited her emer-
gency care.
Further testing in the
emergency room revealed
high levels of Acetamino-
phen toxicity, which can
lead to liver failure. Mary
should have informed her
primary care physicians
and her pharmacist that
she was taking the over-
the-counter pain reliever
and at the daily amount.
Mary now realizes the
importance of a medica-
tion list, and the dangers
of Acetaminophen toxici-
ty. Im happy to say that
Mary can now tell you
every pill she takes and the
purpose. She also tracks
her daily medications and
notes any side effects.
Mary is becoming her
own health care advocate.
In a perfect world, sen-
iors wouldnt need any
medications. They would-
nt experience pain, illness
or memory issues. Unfor-
tunately, this isnt a perfect
world and many seniors
take 10 or more daily
medications.
What Do You Know
About Your Pills?
Do you sometimes feel
dizzy, headachy, sleepy
all the time, heavy head-
ed, off your game, dis-
connected or not right?
This could be the nega-
tive effects from too
much, and conflicting,
medications.
A Changing Time
Seniors are now living
well into their 90s, while
remaining active and
independent.
So what can you do to
ensure you stay healthy
and active into old age?
In addition to good
nutrition and exercise,
managing your medica-
tions and being proactive
about your health with
your doctor can ensure
that you enjoy a long and
healthy life. And thats
what becoming your
own health care advocate
is all about.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
There has been no rain
And the ground is parched,
What to do, I dont know.
A
lright, thats not
exactly how the
nursery rhyme goes
but I think you get my
drift and it begs the ques-
tion: How do you garden
in a drought?
If you listen to news
reports, you might think
life as we know it is over
and were just a few days
away from the last drop
of water. Yes, we are offi-
cially in a drought and,
yes, we need to conserve
wherever we can, but I
dont think the world is
coming to a screeching
halt just yet. We have at
least one more week!
OK, lets get serious. For
those who have resigned
themselves to the idea
that this years garden is a
lost cause, I have good
news. With a few minor
adjustments to your
routine and water-wise
thinking, gardens can
continue to flourish in
spite of the fact the rain
failed to make its usual
appearance in adequate
amounts this winter.
When its plentiful, most
of us use water in the gar-
den without thought to
how much we are actually
using, so the first thing I
recommend homeowners
do is take an inventory of
their gardens normal
water requirements.
Its easy to get in the
habit of setting the timer
on the watering system
and then not give it
another thought during
the growing season.
Truth is, however, that
ornamental plant mate-
rial can generally get by
with much less water
than we think.
One way to test this
theory is by keeping care-
ful track of the moisture
in the ground by using a
moisture probe to test the
available amount of
water. To achieve an
accurate measurement,
water the garden as one
normally does and check
the soil moisture every
day to see when it has
reached the stage where
water becomes necessary
again. This will let you
know how you should

program your automatic
sprinklers.
Next look at how you
are watering your garden.
Overhead watering is gen-
erally not an efficient way
to keep plants hydrated.
Much moisture is lost to
evaporation both from
the ground and foliage. A
more efficient way is
through drip irrigation,
which can actually cut
water usage by up to 40
percent. Drip irrigation
has many advantages:
First and foremost, water
is delivered where it is
needed most directly to
the roots. Second, it is rel-
atively easy and inexpen-
sive to install and can be
readily undertaken by the
do-it yourselfer.
Adding soil amend-
ments when planting
along with a 3-inch layer
of mulch as a top dressing
can add protection
against soil evaporation,
allowing watering times
to be further spaced out.
Although great for limited
space, potted plants can
lose moisture quickly,
especially if positioned in
a sunny location and even
more so if they are plant-
ed in Terracotta pots.
Being porous, evapora-
tion occurs much more
rapidly than in glazed or
plastic containers.
You can help reduce
water loss by lining the
inside walls with non-
porous plastic bubble
wrap. This will also insu-
late the root system from
becoming excessively hot
from the sun. In pots
already home to plants,
painting the outside with
a clear sealer helps pre-
vent evaporation.
Another way to con-
serve water for potted
plant is to save it from
the shower in a bucket.
Instead of allowing that
water to run down the
drain, I use a 2-gallon
bucket to catch it until
it begins to get warm.
I then use it to water
the potted plants on
the patio. Last, but by
no means least, many
homeowners move into
their first home and
install large lawn areas
for their children and
pets.
Are there still soccer
matches and games of
catch occurring in the
back yard on a regular
basis or have the kids
grown older and moved
on? Maybe they have
moved out all together? If
the lawn is no longer
descended upon by chil-
dren, maybe its time to
consider reducing the
amount of lawn that
graces your garden or
remove it altogether.

daytripper
t started more than a

decade ago when my then
11-year-old daughter,
Bethany, said, Hey, I hear
theres a place called Ashland
and they have a big Shakespeare
festival.
Well, the daughter is grown
and gone, but that doesnt stop
me from escaping to Ashland,
Oregon, with friends and family
as often as possible, sometimes
up to four times a year. Thats
because Ashland is one of the
most beautiful places in the
country, and it doesnt matter
what time of year you go. And
heres a little secret you dont
even have to like Shakespeare.
Summer is surely one of the
best times to visit Ashland, as
the festival is in full swing. The
venue has three theaters with
11 plays in repertoire. The out-
door venue, the Elizabethan, is
a replica of the Globe Theatre in
London.
This years lineup of plays is
outstanding, and Shakespeare
makes up less than one-third of
the schedule. Ashland is one of
the only places in the world
where you will find world-
class acting in a small, eclectic
town. Look through the play-
bill and youll see star power
from Broadway and Hollywood,
and credentials from Julliard
and other world-renowned
performing-arts colleges.
Ashland Creek Inn proprietor,
Graham Sheldon, describes the
festivals sheer number of plays
as the towns biggest draw
there are up to five each day.
People are very positive
about the plays this year, he
said. The Tempest has very
cool staging, and Cocoanuts
has the same cast as the last
Marx Brothers play and even
better antics its very funny.
Sheldon said Water by the
Spoonful is the hottest show
at the festival this season.
People come for the theater,
but like me, they fall in love with
the place. Nacy Silva Sutton
travels to Ashland twice a year
in the summer with her
daughter and sister and in the
fall with friends.
I love Ashland in the summer,
especially the Fourth of July, Sil-
va Sutton said. There is a fair in
Lithia Park, and you can always
escape the heat of the day at the
nostalgic Varsity Theater (movie
house). Theres river rafting
nearby, and I love dining on the
creek or enjoying a cocktail and
appetizer at Larks, part of the
historic Ashland Springs Hotel.
Ive cut back on theatergoing
to enjoy other activities: early
morning jogs in Lithia Park
(steps away from the festival),
wandering the nostalgic town,
popping in to Websters yarn
store or Bloomsbury Books.
There are antique stores, numer-
ous clothing, shoe and hat shops,
and my favorite, Paddington, is
a three-story store that carries
everything from clothing to cards
to cookware, and even local
chocolates and preserves.
Dining is a happening scene
in Ashland, as well. My person-
al favorite is the Greenleaf, a
casual place where I can get a
simple Caesar salad with chick-
en and some of the best bread
around, and enjoy my meal in
the park before heading to an
evening performance.
My favorite thing about Ash-
land is the Ashland Creek Inn.
With only a handful of rooms,
the inn is a hidden gem that I
discovered while jogging. Each
room has a balcony that dangles
over Ashland Creek, one of the
shadiest and most serene places
youre likely to find.
Hotel guests have been visit-
ing Sheldon since he purchased
the inn 14 years ago. Many
guests are regulars who reserve
their rooms for the summer a
year in advance, then plan their
plays accordingly.
Sheldon describes the appeal
of Ashland like this: You feel
like a temporary part of the
community when you are here.
Ashland has a special vibe and
has a unique way of sharing
that with visitors.
Take a trip to Ashland this
summer, and you will vacation
there for life.

Can you walk me through what
a typical day is like for you?
I do membership develop-
ment, which means sales.
Basically, I try to recruit new
people to come in and join
the chamber. Its a full
time position. I work
hard. I work a lot of
hours, and I work dif-
ferent hours.
Im always looking
for a business that
might need a better
profile, or more expo-
sure. For example, I
just saw someone
that was driving and
they are a Granite
Bay pool company.
Ive never heard
of them, so I
know other peo-
ple havent heard
of them. So Ill
call them and
see if they want
more exposure by
joining the cham-
ber and tell them
all the ways it
would help their
business.
Where are
you from
originally?
The
Bay Area.
It was a
good move.
To move
here from
the Bay
Area was
really fun.
Tell me about your son who is
a senior at Granite Bay High.
He just got accepted to
UCLA. Im just thrilled. We are
pretty excited.
What is he going to study?
Mechanical engineering. And
hes a good kid. He does robot-
ics at Granite Bay High, and
Granite Bay High is the best
school. It is far superior to any-
thing in the Bay Area. We have
really the best schools here.
You have just the one son, then?
No, I have another son in
Florida. He is studying at
Embry-Riddle (Aeronautical
University). He will graduate
with a physics degree probably
in a year. So yeah, Ill have two
kids in college at the same time.
My older son is 24. Hes taking
the long road to undergrad.
Hopefully my younger one
wont take that many years.
What do you like to do in your
free time?
I dont have much. I really,
truly like people, so I like to
walk and talk and see people
and meet people. So thats why
I like my job because I like con-
necting people. But for fun, I
garden. I have Pianese right
now. They are big, fat flowers,
so heavy they can barely hold
their head up. So I garden every
weekend. And I also like to go
to San Francisco for fun.
What restaurants do you
like here?
Well, Madalyn from the
Farmhaus just joined (the
chamber), so shes a new
favorite. Id love Hawks to join.
That is truly my favorite. I go to
Hawks in the summertime for
their happy hour. We go to Paul
Martins a bit. Thats it. I never
really go to Sacramento, because
I dont like to drive there at night.
Im always looking for a good
new restaurant around here.
Maddy at Farmhaus is really
nice. Shes trying really hard, she
has a really good attitude. I just
wish she had more organic stuff.
Why is that?
Well, I also sit on the board for
a local breast cancer group.
Thats why I am saying organic.
Because we think that you
should eat organic. Thats kind of
a leap to another subject, but
Thats a good point though.
Is that a local organization?
It is. We are called Placer
Breast Cancer Endowment and
I sit on the board. Ive only been
with this group about three or
four years. Carol Garcia is the
co-chair. She started it about 10
years ago. We just raised $1.5
million and we are getting ready
to give it to UC Davis.
How did you get involved?
I am a cancer survivor, and
when you survive you feel like
doing something so that other
people dont get it. I like to
research, and I love holistic
things.
When were you diagnosed?
I just hit five years. Its too
bad, cancer is everywhere. I am
big on prevention. I think the
reason we are all getting cancer
is because of toxic overload. Its
too many toxins and chemicals
in our food. Its GMO food, its
chemicals in the products that
we put on our skin and in our
hair. Its really almost impossi-
ble to get away from it. I would
say definitely eat organic. But
also watch the chemicals in
your environment.
