was the center of attention for two days as
her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren showered her with
kisses and hugs.
A newspaper reporter
gathering details on my
moms life asked me how I
would describe her. My
answer was immediate
and simple. Shes a giver,
I responded.
My parents, who were
married during the Great
Depression, were fortunate to have jobs as caretakers at a ranch in Carbon
Canyon (in Southern California). Even in those desperate times, my parents
found ways to help others.

widowed farmer and truck

the other children still living at home.
The doors to my childhood home were always
open to friends and family
members. A cousin, who
needed to get away from

hile breast cancer awareness and human trafficking generate the biggest
buzz, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation quietly chips away at
finding a cure for Type 1 diabetes working to help the 15,000 youth and
the 15,000 adults who will be diagnosed with the disease this year.
The stats dont lie.
And whether you subscribe to the theory that the increase is attributed to
genetic factors or environmental ones, Type 1 diabetes has nothing to do with
lifestyle or diet and theres no cure.
Awareness and a cure are two things that are most important to Laura
Moore of Coldwell Banker.
Step in to Moores home, a series of stunning rooms outfitted with artifacts
from her many travels like African masks in the dining room and figurines
and throws from the Caribbean, Argentina and Hungary. The dcor is a
showcase for Moores passion for travel and the fact that one of her adult
children lives abroad.
Though its obvious that travel is important to her, volunteering her
time, formerly as a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation board
member, today as a dedicated volunteer, is her overriding passion.
Moore has been in Granite Bay for nearly a decade, and she
didnt become a realtor until her husband decided to retire.
Her previous profession was in the nursing field, specifically as a nurse in the post-surgical cardiac unit in Kaisers
heart catheterization lab.
She was also a hospital administrator for a number of
years. Moores profession sparked her interest in diabetes.
I got involved through a physician who I was working
with. His daughter had diabetes and he was very
involved with JDRF, Moore said. I ended up on the
organizations board for six years and I hope to be on the
board again in the future.
For Moore and her husband, Greg, the fight is also personal.
My husband had a brother who died from complications
of diabetes and I have a family member who was diagnosed

with Type 1 diabetes when he was 50 years old,

she said.
November is National Diabetes Awareness
Month and November 14 is World Diabetes Day,
she pointed out.
One of the JDRFs favorite sayings is Turn
Type 1 into Type none.
To that end, the foundation funds research
that involves regenerating cells, working with
artificial pancreases, trying to discover if theres
a way that diabetes can be reversed and preventing complications from occurring.
JDRF is funding or partially funding over 50
clinical trials right now, Moore said. In 2013
alone, Type 1 funding was $106 million.
Moore said that the local chapters goal is to
hit $2 million raised. More than 80 percent of
those funds will be targeted for research.
The greater Sacramento chapter has only a
few employees. Everyone else volunteers their
time, so the overhead is very low, she said.
According to JDRF Outreach Coordinator,
Elizabeth Dixon, the foundation is proud of two
products that are in human trials an encapsulation device that is inserted beneath the skin,
encapsulating insulin-producing cells so the
body cant attack them, and the artificial pancreas, which pairs a continuous glucose monitor with the insulin pump, so the pump automatically turns on and off based on need.
Both these products are in human trials now
and were working on getting FDA approval,
Dixon said.
To this end, the local chapter offers activities
and fundraisers throughout the year.
Moore is amazed by the many developments
in diabetes research over the last two decades.
I shudder to think of all the blood sugar testing that was required, and injections given in
the past. Tests werent always accurate, and the
insulin pump has been a huge improvement for
diabetics, Moore said. But it still breaks my
heart to see little kids have to do a finger stick
several times each day.
Moore credits a recent Miss America for
showing off her insulin pump during the televised swimsuit competition, a brave act that
raised awareness.
Its not under cover anymore, she said.
Today we have diabetic NBA players, professional race car drivers and even endurance athletes.
Moore looks forward to helping organize
upcoming events like the annual crab feed in
February and the Coloma River Run in the
spring.
Most of all, Moore looks forward to meeting
families affected by the disease and offering
them guidance.
If anybody knows a family that is struggling
with diabetes, please help them get in touch
with the JDRF. The foundation has so much
great information, and they even have a Facebook page, Moore said.
As a volunteer with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Moore plays a round of RingAround-The-Rosie. Joining Moore, to her left, are Sophia Gentry, Damon Clawson, William Ponseti, Joseph Pescetti, and Neil Pesetti. These children, with the exception of Neil, are living with
Type 1 Diabetes. Neil gets an annual check for the disease since members of his immediate family
have the disease.
Years ago, when a mother wanted to keep

track of her childs blood sugar during
school hours, shed call the school nurse for
a meter reading. Today, GPS technology
and cell phones allow Alicia Pescetti to
obtain blood monitoring updates on her
watch. Her computerized wristwatch will
even alert her if her sons glucose level dips
below normal. Moore, at left, now a Realtor with Coldwell Banker, became interested in diabetes while working as a nurse.
She has served on the Juvenile Diabetes
Research Foundation board and currently
volunteers at local events.

and
What local spots do you

go to for inspiration?
My patio view of Folsom Lake, but also,
whatever I see of interest in the moment. Thats
the beauty of photography;
you dont need to focus on
any one aspect, you focus
on what you see.
When did you find your
interest in photography?
It was about 50 years
ago. I used to work as a
chemical engineer and
back then photography was
a lot of math and chemistry
so the aspects drew me in.
What projects are you
currently working on?
10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tour passports, at $10
each, can be purchased
online or at a designated
sales location (a location list
is available at www.placerarts.org/programs/aast/.)
Granite Bay residents can
purchase tour passports
from painter Mya Louw at

her studio in the Granite Bay

Folsom Road.
Four Granite Bay artists

studio, 8799 Auburn Folsom Road
Im working on some
photographic
art
books. I work with my
wife to write captions and
print hardcopy books to
keep or give as gifts. It
allows cherished moments
to last forever.
What is your biggest artrelated accomplishment?
I have several. My photographs have been at
the California State Fair
and at both the KVIE and
Crocker Art Actions. One
photo was an unusual
angle of the Tower Bridge
and the others were photos
I took in Peru and Argentina.
What would you like
guests to take away
from visiting your studio?
Hopefully, they will
take some of my photographs to enjoy. Also, I
hope they become inspired
to try photography.

What is your biggest

art related accomplishment?
What local spots do

you go to for inspiration?
All of my work comes
from working in my
studio (in Granite
Bay). Everything I make
comes out of my own creative mind.
When did you find
interest in stone sculpture?
It all started 30 years
ago, I was encouraged
by a friend to attend a
sculpting class. At the time
I lived in Southern California and learned stone work
with two accomplished
sculptors.
I made a piece with

lapis lazuli and it sold
immediately. Later I
found out a picture of the
piece had gone viral in
Australia.
What do you want
guests to take away
I would like them to
know a little bit more
about my sculpting
process and I would like to
educate them about stones
I use from around the
world.
Painter Mya Louw is thrilled with her new work space in the Granite Bay Town Center.

What local spots do you
go to for inspiration?
I have a new studio in
Auburn-Folsom
and
there are three windows
that look over a spread of
grassland with oak trees. I
also look to places like El
Dorado Hills and Sonoma
Country to help me to formulate the shape and colors
of rolling hills.
When did you find an
interest in painting?
10
When I was 10 years

old, I viewed Rembrandts Night Watch
and was completely overawed. I started formal art
classes at 13 and went on to
obtain art degrees in South
Africa and Johannesburg.
What projects are you
currently working on?
Im busy working on a
few commissions in
Sacramento and San
Francisco of large California
landscapes. Im also fixing
up my new studio in the
Granite Bay Town Center,
Ive only been there a few
months and I enjoy it!
What is your biggest art

related accomplishment?
I keep striving to create
something worthwhile.
Some of my art has
been used for good will, like
breast cancer awareness.
When my work is used for a
greater cause, I feel
extremely privileged.
What would you like
guests to take away
A smile and to be happy. The colors that I
have in my studio and
the subject matter are about
the joy of life, I want their
hearts to feel glad.

Describe your art in three

words.
Chaos, depth and abstract.
What local spots do you go to
for inspiration?
I look for back alleys, side
streets and architectural
shapes in shadows. This time
of year its great seeing long shadow with linearity.
What projects are you currently working on?
Im busy with all kinds of projects. I have a few commissions. One is for a beach house
in the city and Im designing furniture with live wood elements.
What is your biggest art related accomplishment?

Earlier this year I was granted
artist-in-residency in Costa
Rica. I had the chance to work
with an international artist at a
studio in the middle of a rain forest. It changed the way that I work
and reinforced my confidence in
my artwork.
What would you like guests to
take away from visiting your
studio?
I want them to walk away
mindful of something that
may have sparked emotion,
and a deeper way of thinking
about things based on a visual
stimuli.

wo Granite Bay residents have volunteered

with the Placer County
Sheriffs Office as a way to help
their neighbors and give back
to the community.
Mark Bowers has just completed his first year as a volunteer, while Laurie Heinz is well
into her second year.
As Bowers got close to retirement, he began to think about
how he could give back to the
community where he had
lived for 36 years.
The Sheriffs Office was at
the top of my list, he said.
Fortunately, it worked out.
In addition to volunteer
duties with the Sheriffs Office,
Bowers serves as security chair
for the Hidden Valley Community Association.
Heinz, a resident of Granite
Bay for more than 15 years, has
also been active with the Placer County SPCA for 16 years.
No matter where she has
volunteered, though, Heinz
finds satisfaction in being
helpful.
It is great because everyone
is so nice, she said.
And yet, Heinz laughingly
adds, volunteering tends to cut
into her golf time.
Both are advocates of volunteer work, but agree that volunteers must have certain
qualities.
Bowers believes an outgoing
personality is at the top of the
list since volunteers spend so
much time out in the public.
We make it a point to stop
and talk with those that we see
out in the community, he
said.
Heinz, who assists at the
Sheriffs Office substation in
Loomis, added her own suggestions.
Friendliness is the most
important (quality) to me, plus
office skills, such as computer
knowledge, answering phones

Granite Bay resident Mark Bowers volunteer duties include vacation patrols and assisting at community events.
Laurie Heinz, below, spends her volunteer hours at the PCSO substation in Loomis.
and possible counter experience, she said.
These skills can enhance a
volunteers ability to serve the
community.
There is no typical day for
the volunteers, who can be
asked to conduct pro-active,
high
visibility
non-law
enforcement patrols in neighborhoods. When volunteers
spot a potential problem, they
notify the 9-1-1 dispatcher.
They also work at community events assisting with parking or providing information at
booths hosted by the Sheriffs
Office.
We are basically the eyes
and the ears of the department, explained Bowers. We
work patrols and special

events.
Heinz added, Helping out
with the sheriffs at community events can be really fun.
Bowers and Heinz both
encourage others to give back
as they have done.
I have told several people to
look into volunteering, concluded Bowers. As a volunteer
you gain much satisfaction in
doing something good for the
community.
Potential volunteers are
required to undergo a background check (including fingerprinting), attend the Community Awareness Academy
and participate in on-the-job
training.

f you see 30 eager seventh

graders engrossed in adultsounding conversations
about computer coding,
engineering, product design, and
even demographic studies and
marketing strategies, youre probably watching PC Pals in action.
PC Pals is an email-based mentoring program that Intel offers to
schools; a program that pairs students with volunteers who interact
with students, and is designed to
motivate kids and help them set
and reach goals.
This is the second year that Cavitt
Junior High School has partnered
with Intel. Thanks to history and
English teacher Michelle Raley, who
piloted the program for Cavitt last
year, students can look forward to
an introduction to the world of science, technology, math and engineering as well as exploring STEM
and non-STEM related jobs that
exist in the tech world.
Raley said that students experience with their Intel mentors is
invaluable and that kids will benefit
from the partnership.
I saw a struggling student last
year really gain a direction in his
learning. My student said oh my
gosh, I really need to improve my
writing and I need to work harder.
He really saw himself working for
Intel or another tech company. Our
collaboration has given him the
motivation to get to where he wants
to go, Raley said.
10
Cavitt Principal Jennifer Platt

said the collaboration gives students an understanding of real
world applications for the skills
theyre learning.
All these volunteers are from a
technical business and they really
demonstrate the diversity in that
environment. We think of the technology field as STEM, but we have
someone here from marketing and
someone from quality control.
There are so many different opportunities in this field, Platt said. PC
Pals really complements Eureka
Union School Districts Challenge
21 Program, with the weekly correspondence and talking with adults.
Intel is very generous with their
time.
Volunteer and team leader Lisa
Perigault is thrilled to spearhead
this years collaboration. As an engineer, her goal is to encourage young
women to seek job opportunities in
the science and technology fields.
Perigault has been an engineer
for nearly 20 years and stresses that
even creative types have a place in

the engineering field.
Theres a lot of creativity going
on, she said. Engineers collaborate with the marketing department
to determine what makes a good
product. My goal is to encourage all
kids to explore the sciences and to
not be intimidated by math and science. There are a lot of opportunities for creativity, collaboration and
interaction. Communication is
hugely important in technology.
Perigault said her dream job
involved writing and journalism,
but shes able to find a creative outlet as an engineer.
You dont have to be purely analytical to be in this field, she said.
To encourage students, 25 volunteer mentors will email their PC Pals
weekly, with all correspondence
going through Raley.
The students will visit Intel in the
spring as well as the companys
Innovation Center, which showcases the latest products that Intel is
working on.
Its a win for the volunteers who

enjoy helping kids set goals and
learn how to achieve them, and a
win for the students who will gain a
clear understanding of opportunities in the tech field.
Encouragement from helpful
adults never hurts, either.
Raley said that students benefit in
all areas of study as a result of the
collaboration.
They improve their communication skills. They write formal letters
in their emails, rather than a more
casual style of writing. They learn to
prioritize projects and better manage their time with mentors asking
students if they are achieving their
goals and also sharing stories of
how they overcame struggles.
With Intel volunteers and students working together, students
are sure to achieve more than they
might on their own.
The program allows students an
opportunity to be their best selves,
and to interact at a whole different
level, said Raley.

hen we stepped in to the

newly opened ASR Restaurant and Lounge, I was glad
I left my yoga pants at home. This stylish
establishment is filled with professional
clientele and has a hip vibe, even at noon
on a weekday.
With an outstanding lunch menu that
includes the best-selling Napa burger,
topped with Humboldt Fog cheese,
arugula and fig compote, and a wide
array of salads and fresh daily specials,
like swordfish in a bed of polenta, you
can see why this Roseville hot spot is the
perfect place for business executives to
grab a power lunch.
Its also a great gathering spot for
ladies who like to lunch. On a recent
Friday afternoon dozens of women
gathered at various tables, indulging in
16
cocktails, salads and sandwiches, and

maybe even a cone of truffle-flavored
fries thrown in.
Making ASR a destination for women
was important to owners Harwinder and
Steve Bisla. The property was designed
by an all-female architectural firm and
the ambiance is welcoming with a rich
feel that says understated luxury and
offers infinite interesting textures.
But its not just the ambiance that will
appeal. The lounge, which offers a lively
weekend cocktail scene with bottle service and late weekend hours, provides
ample security for added peace of mind.
They even provide an escort to walk
patrons to their cars.
Have you ever seen Roadhouse, asks
operations manager Fred Gardner.
These are polite professionals who ASR Restaurant and Lounge features a roomy, fully-stocked bar.

carry guard cards, which mean theyve

been through professional training. Theyre
schooled in how to deal with any conflict in a
very professional manner, Gardner said.
Think polished, professional men in secretservice-like attire.
Late nights are the lounges specialty. Theyre
open till after midnight on weeknights and
until 2 a.m. on weekends.
Bottle service in the booths upstairs include
your own personal bartender in a cabana
setting and a large list of cocktails, Gardner
said. We have a D.J. playing upbeat music that
people describe as popular, contemporary,
mixed with older rhythm and blues.
But while mixologists are imagining delicious concoctions, world-class chefs are perfectly plating special fare.
Chefs formerly from well-known restaurants like Ruths Chris, Meritage, and Horseshoe Bar and Grill take their tasks seriously.
Some favorite dishes include artisan pizzas and the duck egg roll, said Chef Vincent
Alexander. But our Beef Wellington is a dish
that people in the region will follow me from
place to place to enjoy.
Additional favorites include the pork tenderloin with port wine demi-glaze and the
BLT featuring house-made bacon, topped
with tangy arugula.
On my visit, I was lucky enough to catch
Chef Vincent at work, and had an opportunity to sample freshly-cut, thick sliced bacon
and the special-of-the-day bistro steak,
which was served with a stack of red-pepper
infused polenta rounds.
My partners included Nancy Silva Sutton,
who enjoyed her polenta and Kathleen Gonzalez, who was willing to share her savory
chicken sandwich enveloped in brie and
sliced ham. A tomato jam with chipotle aioli
gave the dish a delightful kick.
I loved the mesh of flavors, Gonzalez said.
But my favorite flavor of the day was found
in the zabaglione sauce that topped a fluffy
and perfectly browned Grand Marnier
souffl. Too rich for lunch, you might ask?
Absolutely not. Theres never a wrong time for
a perfectly prepared dessert.
Everyones head turned when the souffl
walked out, Silva-Sutton said.
Late nights, lunch and dinner arent all that
ASR offers. Dont forget Sunday brunch,
which features never-ending champagne,
mimosas and Chef Vincents best eggs Benedict this side of San Francisco.
Its hard to decide whether its the chefs
special that will keep me coming back for
more, or if its the atmosphere.
I didnt want a sports bar. I didnt want a
place that just catered to men, Harwinder
Bisla said. I wanted a sophisticated
ambiance with quality service and the best
chefs around.
Mission accomplished.

Lawyers McCoy and Fatula get out of the office, give back to the community
BY JASMIN DEVI TAYLOR PHOTOS BY KIM PALAFERRI
t 10 a.m. on a Tuesday, the parking lot

at a business park
off Douglas Boulevard in Roseville is full and a
sense of productivity is in the
air. Amongst the many business
units is the law office for Miles
McCoy and Steve Fatula.
When Fatula steps into the
board room for the interview,
he pulls the collar of his black
suit jacket forward as he sits
down, collecting himself after
an early, busy morning.
Fatula and his partner, Miles
McCoy, formed the law firm,
McCoy|Fatula LLP, in 2011 after
years of building their individual bulletproof law resumes.
These days they work with a
team of four attorneys in three
offices located in Placer and El
Dorado counties with one
opening soon in the Bay
Area. The fast growing legal
practice focuses on family and
property cases, but the owners
business model includes an
emphasis on giving back to the
communities they serve.
We do whatever we can to
make sure that the area around
us is better, said Fatula. We
feel that its our job as attorneys,
even though that goes against
the stereotype.
In September, McCoy and
Fatula, along with their office
staff, participated in Rosevilles
Hot Pink Fun Run benefit for
breast cancer research.
Though the two attorneys
werent spotted sporting hot
pink tutus at the finish line, they
did wear pink ribbon pins on
their suits. They spent the day
in their sponsor booth giving
out water bottles. They said
they enjoyed meeting local residents and listening to survivors
share their stories.
For the business owners, supporting local volunteer efforts

and
charities
has
become a seamless part of
their day-to-day business.
Fatula said that when he
first met McCoy, the two knew
they wanted to take a different
approach to their law practice,
not only by providing a legal
service, but also by becoming a
part of the community.
Its helped us to break down
the barriers of being an everyday office, said McCoy. Its
brought our staff closer together and has been a huge asset in
making long lasting relationships.
The motivation to stay
involved in the neighborhoods

that surround their practice
come from what Fatula calls the
good cases.
We work with a lot of clients.
Sometime we are the first, second or third lawyer that they
have seen. When we find the
best resolution at the end of the
day, it makes you say that it was
worth it, he said.
Each year the law firm chooses a non-profit organization to
support at its annual fundraiser.
This year, McCoy and Fatula
hope to raise $10,000 for the
Sacramento CCHAT Center, a
clinic and school for hearing

The holiday fundraiser will
take place at the Blue Line
Gallery in Roseville, Thursday,
Dec. 11 from 6 to 9 p.m. The
evenings festivities will include
a silent auction, raffle, food, and
drinks provided by local businesses. Tickets are available for
$35 and $60 and can be purchased at www.cchatsacramen-
to.org.
We are a sucker for
organizations with kids, said
Fatula. Since we work with
families going through divorce
and custody battles, you end up
with a soft spot for the people
who always end up losing at the
end. Its not about the money;
its about the kids, he
explained.

her own legacy this summer by etching
her name alongside the best young athletes
in the country.
Grace Reego, a 2014 Granite Bay graduate,
captured gold at the 18U Water Polo Junior
Olympics at Stanford Universitys Avery
Aquatic Center in August.
Reego scored a game-high three goals in the
championship finale to lead her Pasadenabased Rose Bowl team to an 8-3 rout of San
Diego Shore.
Her efforts paved way to recognition as a
second team USA Water Polo All American.
Shes the first Sacramento-area girl to achieve
that status or win a Junior Olympic national
title.
I was so incredibly proud to see Grace
play so well at JOs, Olympic Development

Never doubt that a small group

of thoughtful, committed citizens
can change the world; indeed,
its the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead
ranite Bay resident Kris Johnson believes in making a difference one project at a
time. And she has a number
of forever friends working alongside her.
The retired engineer is one of the
founders of Community Social Outreach, a group of women who meet
monthly for coffee and conversation.
I wanted people to get to know each
other in the community, she said.
At the core of these gatherings, however, are random acts of kindness.
Each months gathering focuses on a
different non-profit agency. Members
will either bring suggested items to
donate or make gifts for the agencys
clients.
The group has collected socks, art
supplies, sheets, bedding, school supplies and backpacks, blankets, infant
and toddler clothing, jackets and coats,
towels, luggage, cookies and travel size
toiletries as well as gift cards.
Were like hunters and gatherers, she
laughed.
Members recently made personalized
eye glass holders, gift bags and cards for
residents at the Pine Crest Nursing
Home in Auburn, This month, they will
be making snowmen table decorations
and favors for the annual Keaton
Raphael Family Christmas Party.
In addition, members have volunteered at Placer County Food Bank,
Orangevale Food Bank, American Cancer Society and the Keaton Raphael
Memorial.
Kris Johnson, center, talks with members of her service group at a gathering held at her Granite Bay home this spring.
There is no fundraising, said Johnson, adding that participation in the collection drives is not mandatory.
Sometimes the group just gathers for
lunch and an occasional fashion show.
One popular must do event is the
annual bus trip to San Francisco for a
day of holiday shopping.
When forming the Granite Bay group,
Johnson drew on her experience in
organizing the Ladies Social Outreach at
St. Joseph Marello parish.
The concept for the church group was
to promote social interaction and fellowship as well as provide
information on volunteer opportunities,
she explained.
I decided I
knew a lot
of ladies who
would like to
get together
and do positive things,
she explained.
This is more about friendships.

In addition to the coffee group, Johnson is a member of United Ways Women
in Philanthropy.
She was drawn to the group because
of their efforts to help children in foster
homes.
I was raised in a childrens home (at
age 13) when they used to have childrens homes, she said. Ive been on
the receiving end of other peoples generosity. People were willing to do something for me. It made it easy for me to
become a volunteer.
Her passion for community service
has extended into the political arena. Its not about the position;
its about giving back, Johnson explained.
She points out the
famous lines from John F.
Kennedys 1960 Inauguration speech: Ask not
what your country can do
for you ask what you
can do for your country.
Although she launched a campaign

for a seat in the House of Representatives, Johnsons run for office was shut
down after she learned she would have
to undergo hip replacement surgery.
My motivation for running for office
was largely to do with our national
parks and forests being neglected, she
said.
She and her husband, John, enjoy
epic driving trips. They recently
returned from a tour of national parks in
California and extending into Canada.
A resident of Granite Bay since 1988,
Johnson also manages to find time for
her two daughters and two grandchildren, ages 2 and 6.
Her advice to anyone looking for a
volunteer opportunity: Not everybody
has organization abilities and skills,
but everybody has the ability to do
something.

rowing older comes with

many challenges, although
staying in your home should
not be one of them.
Homecare Assistance, which
opened for business on June 23
in Granite Bay, is one of the first
in the area to offer services to
help seniors maintain their
independence. David and Debbie Waddell, who moved to the
area in 2001 from Danville, are
the owners/operators of the
local franchise.
One of the things that I love
about this franchise is at this
point in my life it is important to
work with good people that
have integrity, said co-owner
David Waddell.
Waddell proclaims the franchises focus on caregiver training and cognitive therapeutics
for their clients is what set the
business apart from their competition.
Yes, it is a business, and, yes,
you want to make money, but
the priority is doing it well, said
Waddell.
And yet, he believes our culture does not value seniors citizens. It is the hope of the business owners to change that attitude by using their business to
give seniors options for remaining in their homes.
People age well and live
longer with all the advancements in society,
26
Debbie and Dave Waddell opened the Homecare Assistance office in Granite Bay in June.
added co-owner Debbie Waddell, adding the youngest client
currently being served is his 70s.
According to Debbie Waddell,
callers are not just seeking information about services for their
older family members. The
company is also getting calls
from people wanting services
for themselves.
The target service area is
Granite Bay, Folsom, Loomis,
Rocklin, Roseville, and Lincoln.
David Waddell confirms they
can, and will, help people residing in surrounding communities.
The owners pride themselves
on being available 24 hours a
day, seven days
a week. Since
opening
in
June, Debbie Waddell admits

they have already received
phone calls requesting emergency services after hours.
Homecare Assistance utilizes
the services of Dr. Sam
Gontkovsky, who developed the
Cognitive Therapeutics Method.
The method, which focuses on
attention and language skills,
helps keep the minds of aging
clients sharp and alert.
Its great for sweeping out the
cobwebs, said David Waddell.
As we age, if we are not using
our minds, we are losing our
minds.
The company also offers an
online family room, which gives
family members the ability to
check in on loved ones being
served by Homecare Assistance.
Caregivers and staff members

upload notes, stories and even
videos to keep family members
involved with the care of their
loved ones.
Homecare Assistance caregivers are thoroughly trained
before they are paired with a
client. The company also pays
for online classes to keep caregivers current on their skills.
David Waddell stressed that
he is very selective when hiring
potential employees. Currently,
they have 30 caregivers on staff.
Debbie Waddell insists communication is key to placing the
right caregiver with each client.
Phone calls, quality assistance
visits, and many follow-ups help
ensure the client is happy with
the care they are being given.
It is helpful to be consistent.
We like to keep the same caregiver per client, said Debbie
Waddell.
Caregivers can have multiple
clients depending on their
schedules and the clients
needs, although once placed
with an individual the caregiver
typically stays with that client.
Debbie Waddell affirms
Home Care Assistance is on a
path to change the way the
world is aging.
Nine out of 10 people want
to stay at home, acknowledged
David Waddell. We arent there
to just babysit. We want to take
care of their physical, mental
and social needs. We want to
make them feel like they have a
purpose. It makes us feel good
we can be there to help.

with her new work space,
which was designed and built

e are small enough to

know you, large enough
to serve you, claims
Small Town Construction owner
Steve Brown.
PHILIP WOOD GRANITE BAY VIEW
Steve Brown measures the electrical current in a circuit

box he installed at a Sacramento job site. Brown, owner
of Small Town Construction in Granite Bay, started working
construction jobs at age 15 alongside his father.
28
The Granite Bay resident started the construction business in 1999. Brown is a general contractor and his company specializes in commercial
construction, tenant improvements, and specialty residential remodels.
Brown loves what he does.
I couldnt see myself doing anything else, he
explained.
While the majority of jobs have been in Roseville,
Rocklin and Lincoln, Brown has traveled as far as
San Luis Obispo for a construction project.
Im versatile, Brown stated. I just did a job in
Santa Cruz. Ive worked in Livermore, Davis, and
Woodland. We will go wherever we need to.
The company owner enjoys the challenge of big
projects, although he still likes to watch small
businesses come together and thrive.
The instant gratification Brown gets from his
work, and the transformation that takes place
before his eyes are what he loves about his career
choice and the company he has built.
Currently, Brown has three employees and is
looking to hire more.
I look for versatility, skills, and honesty,

he said.
Besides a bookkeeper, Brown said he is responsible for all the other office tasks.
I wear all the hats in the office, he added.
He recently transformed a small four-room
dance studio into an open space art studio for
Granite Bay artist Mya Louw.
This job was a really small tenant improvement, said Brown. My company tore down a
few walls, repaired T-bar, reworked some lighting,
repaired hardwood floors, and painted.
The recent economic downtown proved to be
the largest obstacle for Browns business.
Being down helped me, he said. It forced me
to go outside my normal box and reach for stars.
I was able to learn a lot from that.
Now the company owner is looking to fill in
where other construction companies went under.
I want to be of service to my community, he
explained.
Communication with clients is very important
to Brown, who makes every effort to establish
personal relationships with his clients.
I want everyone to see and know that we have
pride in what we are doing, he said. His greatest
challenge is maintaining balance.
Its a juggling act, he said. Making sure I
spend quality time with customers and quality
time with family.

f youve ever wanted to visit a country villa in

Italy, youre in luck. Turns out you dont have
to travel to Tuscany to appreciate all the
beauty that Italy has to offer. You need only drive as

this stunning 7,200-square-foot home priced at just
over $2 million. Best of all, its perched on more

When Paul Hills Construction and Red

Phoenix Design collaborated on this project,
there was no way it was going to be anything
less than magnificent.
The homes layout, from the cupola in the
entry to the ultra-private downstairs master, to
the balcony in every bedroom, features true
northern Italian design, with architecture that
pairs European with a hint of Middle Eastern.
Its hard to imagine anything that could make
this home better. But Carrie Porter of Red
Phoenix came in and did just that.
Porter added spectacular lighting from
Hubbardton Forge and prize-winning lighting
designs from this years Chicago Lighting
Exhibition.
I removed the heavy drapes to bring in
natural light and I changed all the lighting in
the house, Porter said.
But lighting isnt Porters only contribution.
She added delicate murals, handmade wallpaper and more.
I took the home and added design that
included an area where the homeowner can
meet clients, just off the entry, Porter said.
Every room that I design, I try to create a double use for it.
Travertine flooring, paired with lustrous
hickory planks, hickory cabinetry and oversized rooms are features that make this home
truly something.
The kitchen features nothing but the best.

creating a mural that is one-of-a-kind and evokes an unimaginable tranquility. The room has oversized window seats that
meet beneath corner windows seats so large that they could
easily double as twin beds. A masterful use of space by Paul
Hills and beautifully designed.
The master bath includes a sunken tub with air jets, a mosaictiled shower with four rain shower heads and a luxurious
closet with center island and mirrors, all outfitted in cherrycolored wood.
Of course, the views, the pool, the outdoor kitchen and logia
are enough to sell this house. The pool is formal and offers
both a shallow wading area and a hot tub, while keeping its
symmetry. The logia is oversized and includes a full kitchen

This home was built for entertaining.
This is a wonderful house for parties, the homeowner said.

concrete, waterfalls, and even a bocce ball court, in true Italian
style. Citrus and apple orchards, as well as raised planter beds

BY BRITTANY FULLER
Winning championship football games for

NFL teams while traveling throughout the
United States may have been an exciting life.
But, returning to your hometown and coaching the football team at your alma mater is priceless.
Now a resident of Lincoln, Dallas Sartz left his pro football
career behind to coach the Granite Bay High School Grizzlies and join his fathers real estate company business,
Interwest.
Sartz started out playing football at USC and then was
drafted by the Washington Redskins. He later went
on to play for the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings.
A torn hamstring and a hurt shoulder
lead Sartz to take a step back and find a
new career and job.
Sartz started playing flag football in
eighth grade. Starting in 1998, he was
an outside linebacker and safety for
the Granite Bay High School Grizzlies.
I like playing safety, said the former pro football player. It is fun to
roam around and try to make
plays in space. It is also fun to
be a linebacker because you
get to be physical every
play.
His playing days for
Granite Bay earned him a
scholarship to USC where
he played under the direction of football coach Pete
Carroll from 2002 to 2007.
He was an amazing
coach. He was really fun to
play for. He was always
exciting and came out with
a great outlook and great
enthusiasm, said Sartz.
Under Carrolls direction, the team
won national championships in 2003 and
2004.
He almost played for Carroll during his pro
football career. Sartz joined the Seahawks
Former pro football player Dallas Swartz

has returned to coach football at his
alma mater, Granite Bay High School.

Dallas Sartz playing days at Granite Bay earned him a

scholarship to play at USC.
after Carroll stopped coaching the team.
When it came time to quit the NFL, Sartz found he wasnt
finished.
I knew I wasnt quite done with football. I didnt want to
just give it up, he said. I still wanted to do something in
that realm because it was such a big part of my life.
After he returned to the Sacramento area, Sartz took on
the role of coach for the University of California, Davis in
2009.
When his first child was born, Sartz decided he wanted
more time to dedicate to his family, particularly while his
daughter was young. He turned to high school football in
2012 since the schedule is not as demanding as coaching a
college team.
It has been great to be back, Sartz said. Granite Bay
High School is a great school.
Returning to the campus brings back many memories of
teachers and administrators many of whom are still working at the high school.
When he is not coaching the varsity football team, Sartz
works at his fathers real estate company in the Arden area.
Its a good job. My dad has been doing it for a long time
and it is good to have his expertise, he said.
His days typically consist of football or open houses on
the weekend, he acknowledged.
He does admit that that kind of schedule can be a grind
during the football season splitting his time between the
Arden area and football games in Granite Bay.
And yet, Sartz is committed to continuing with coaching
and real estate because he finds it fun to be out in the public
and involved in the game.
I worked under coaches that had great values and
morals, he said. I wanted the opportunity to give back and
do the same.

Greatest gift
you can give
Dr. Chris
Palkowski
ne of the greatest
gifts we can give our
family members is
peace of mind.
And among the best
ways to put our loved
ones at ease is to provide
a clear set of instructions
regarding our life-care
planning letting them
know how we would
want to live in the event
we become unable to
make our own medical
decisions.
Its astonishing that
nationally only 1 in 3
American adults have
filled out the legal document known as an
Advance Care Directive,
according to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
November is National
Hospice and Palliative
Care Month and Id like to
encourage everyone to
think carefully about the
excruciating burden we
place on family members
if they are forced to make
life-and-death decisions
for us without knowing
our wishes.
In my years as a primary-care physician, Ive
noticed that many people
erroneously believe that
life-care planning, also
known as advance-care
planning, only applies to
those with serious and
chronic health conditions.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Life-care planning can
be done at any time, but
the sooner we take care of
it and the healthier we
are when we make these
critical decisions the
better off we and our family members will be.
38
While some of us might

live with chronic illnesses
and the constant threat of
the other shoe dropping, everyone is at risk
due to the unpredictable,
such as a major accident.
Traumatic brain injuries
are most worrisome for
physicians. There is no
state law that governs who

gets to make decisions for
patients with a brain
injury or sudden illness
that renders them confused and unable to speak.
So depending upon who
loves you and how well
your family members do
or dont get along with
1025GBV039 10/23/2014 2:37 PM Page 39
each other, medical decision-making can become

a legal free-for-all.
The only way to prevent
such chaos is to name a
surrogate decision-maker
who would step forward
in the event of a catastrophic illness or injury.
Once the medical team
understands who their
patient is, and knows what
gives that persons life
meaning and purpose, the
doctors can then work with
the surrogate to determine
whether the proposed
treatment would restore
that meaning and purpose,
or merely prolong life with
no real hope of recovery.
The best way to designate a surrogate decisionmaker is to complete an
Advance Directive for
Health Care, which is
sometimes also called a
Living Trust or Living Will.
This fill-in-the-blank
document, which you
can request from your
medical provider, allows
you to name the person
you trust most, along
with two alternates, to
convey to the medical
team what you most
value. The directive can

also specify any wishes
you have about artificial
life prolongation or medical treatments, including
dialysis, life support, or
resuscitation in the event
of cardiac death.
A
colleague
who
oversees palliative care,
Shelly Garone, MD, tells
me about her frequent
encounters with people
agonizing over decisions
about a loved ones health
ones they never
thought theyd have to
make.
Dr. Garone says, Ive
had countless families in
strife and discord telling
me, Now I see why this
directive was important.
And Im so sorry my loved
one had not prepared the
document in advance of
this unexpected tragedy.
I urge everyone to fill
out an advance directive.
Its the right thing to do for
you, and its a gift to your
family as well.
Chris Palkowski, MD,
is physician-in-chief of
Kaiser Permanente, Roseville,
and a Granite Bay resident.

Hello Millennial!
Lets Talk Money
W
e live in a dynamic
era. One that continues to awe us
and indulge us with technological advancements.
And while some of us may
have an adaptation lag,
there are others who have
not lived life without
online gaming or even the
internet. One such group
is the millennial.
The millennials, those
born after 1980 and who
are now between 18 and
34, are a class of their
own. Often referred to as
Gen Y, these individuals
have unique buying and
consumption habits.
They also happen
to have unprecedented
needs. For one, this generation will carry the
biggest burden of student
loans than any other generation in the history of
this country.
Unemployment remains
the highest amongst this
group as boomers continue to work past normal
retirement age. Often
referred to as the Boomerang Generation, many
of them dont have a
choice, but to move back
home with mom and dad
while searching for suitable employment.
Additionally,
longer
life spans and waning
government benefits will
make planning for a long,
comfortable retirement a
challenge at best.
And to make matters
worse, financial institutions in their pursuit to
court the generations
before them, have often
neglected to communicate and fully connect
with this demographic
group.
3. Set up an emergency
fund. Have at least three
Rashida
Lilani
to six months worth of

living expenses for a rainy
day. When the car needs
brakes, youll be prepared. Or worse, when
there are layoffs at work,
youll have some cushion
to fall back on.
4. Watch your credit.
BNY Mellon recently

commissioned a group
of undergraduates from
Oxford Universitys Said
Business School to carry
out a global survey to gain
an insight on millennials
views on savings and retirement planning as well
as their expectations from
financial institutions.
The survey resulted in
several interesting findings. For one, an overwhelming majority does
not understand retirement plans or the tax
benefits offered by them.
Almost 52 percent said
they will consult with
their parents for financial
advice as opposed to
their banker (24 percent)
or even their friends
(10 percent).
Wells Fargo also recently conducted a study that
revealed the majority
of millennials are unable
to save as they live paycheck to paycheck and
are often burdened with
debt, with student loans
taking the lead.
According to the study,
only 46 percent of Gen Y
is saving about 1 to 5
percent in a retirement
account. The study did
state that watching their
parents survive the recent
financial meltdown has
made the millennials
financially astute, but also
overly risk-averse.
According to another
study by Investment
Company Institute,
74 percent
of Gen Y is
unwilling
to take
aboveaverage
risk or
substantial risk in their

investments, therefore
reducing the upside
potential for growth in
their accounts over the
long term.
As for retirement, for
most its not even on the
to do list. With increased
life spans and flexibility
in the work place, retirement becomes a distant
goal.
And we all know that
human beings are hardwired to prioritize a benefit that can be enjoyed in
the near future rather
than the one in the distant future.
Sophia Bera, co-founder
of financial planning
firm Gen Y Planning says,
Financial planning for
millennials includes budgeting, strategizing around
student loans and other
debt, building savings, tax
planning, buying insurance (or not), choosing
company benefits and a
whole lot more.
So if you are in this
demographic or have a
child who is, the following
steps should help you
delineate a game plan for
a sound financial future:
Know your FICO score

and get a free annual
credit report by going to
www.annualcreditreport
.com. Remember, there is
nothing flattering about
getting multiple credit
card offers in the mail.
Watch your credit closely

and pay off balances
each month.
5. Tackle debt. Student
loans will take some time
to pay off; prepare a
schedule to pay more
than the minimum and
stay away from revolving
credit balances.
6. If your employer
offers a retirement plan,
make sure you contribute
to it, even if there is no
employer match. And if
no retirement plans are

offered, set up an IRA or a
Roth IRA and contribute
regularly.
Consulting with an
advisor who can look
at your full picture and
advise you based on your
individual situation is
recommended.
Lastly, be a savvy consumer and keep learning.
Being financially astute
will mostly likely never
need an upgrade 2.0.

How to Avoid Weight

Gain During The Holidays
n last months column, Do

you gain 10+ pounds every
holiday season? I emphasized the importance of making
a plan to avoid weight gain during holiday events, celebrations
and vacations.
Many of you probably said I
always make a plan because
I do not want to gain weight
during the holidays.
However, many more of you
probably said, Limit myself
from the celebrations? Thats
not fun. Ill go on a diet after
New Years Day.
What if I told you that you
could make your dessert and
eat it, too? Its true. You just need
a plan in place and the sooner, the better. The store shelves
are already stocked with delectable treats tempting you as you
turn down the aisles.
Here are some tips to help you
create your plan of attack against
the dreaded holiday bulge.
Nibble Dont gobble! Be
conscious of how much and

how fast you eat. Slow down.
Chew. Breathe. Repeat.
Be a guest. When youre not
the host, you will not be tempted with all those leftovers. Bring
a healthy dish, maybe fresh
greens, for everyone to enjoy.
Make that special dessert.
Have a small serving of your

favorite holiday dessert so you
dont feel deprived. Send the
remainder home with someone
or do the unspeakable throw
out the leftovers!
Start with greens. It will be
difficult to overindulge when
you have satisfied that immediate hunger with some filling
vegetables.
Limit yourself to one plate-full.
Wherever you are, wherever you

go, follow the one-plate rule! No
seconds or super-sized plates
allowed!
Alcohol. Alcohol is filled with
empty calories, so please drink
with caution. Alcohol can also
Paula
Hendricks
trick you into thinking you are

hungry when youre not. Tip: for
every glass of alcohol you drink,
alternate with a glass of water.
This tip will keep you hydrated
and you will likely drink less.
Walk it off. A 15-minute walk
before or after a meal will burn
some calories and reduce your
risk of over-indulging and aftermeal snacking.
Keep your exercise plan going
full force. While exercise not
only reduces stress, burns fat

and improves muscle mass, it
also helps you sleep better. It
will help you stay mentally
focused on your plan.
Have a protein snack one to
two hours before the big event.
Its easier to say no to foods you

dont normally eat when you are
not ravenous.
Eat breakfast everyday! Breakfast starts your morning off right
and keeps you on track for the
rest of the day. Never skip this
important meal.
Eat out sensibly.
Plan what you will

eat before you head
out and stick with it.
Wear
something
snug at the waist during
meals. This will help pre-
vent over-indulging. No
stretchy-waist pants allowed!
Dont skimp on sleep.
Sleep deprivation will not

help your weight or health
plans. It also you at risk for
illness.Say yes to sleep and if
you have the opportunity,
take a 20-minute power nap
now and then.
Just say no thank you. Its
OK to say no to an invitation at
anytime. Take care of yourself
and dont overcommit.Schedule
a massage, pedicure, or a day
off to just rest and relax with a
good book or movie.
I am looking forward to the
cool winter nights when I can
kick back with my husband, Ed,
and our dog, Bogart, snuggled
next to a crackling fire
with a good book in
hand and a stew
cooking on the
stove after a day at
the office and a great
workout. Ahhh, the little pleasures in life.
Enjoy.

Reduce Body Fat

with these 7 tips
G
ot body fat? Today I

have 7 simple and
effective ways for
you to shed that unwanted body fat. While fat loss
can be quite frustrating,
these 7 strategies are
proven to help you slim
down fast.
1. Drink a Gallon
of Water
Water is always a crucial element for proper
bodily functions, and
even more so when fat
loss is your goal. The conversion of fat into energy
takes place in your liver,
and this process requires
that you be well hydrated.
Drinking a gallon of
water over the course of
your day is a wonderful
goal to aim for. This goal
is easily met when you
get into the habit of sipping water throughout
the day, coupled with
drinking a full glass
before meals, upon waking and before bed.
2. Cut out Alcohol

This fat loss tip is
always met with groans,
but despite its unpopularity it remains one of the
most effective. The first
reason
that
alcohol
should be cut out in order
to lose fat is that its filled
with empty calories.
These are simple sugars
that taste great, but add
up quickly as stored fat in
all the wrong places.
The second reason
alcohol should be cut out
is that the simple energy
that your body derives
from the alcohol will be
used as energy long
before your fat stores are
tapped, making it impossible to reduce body fat
on days when alcohol is
consumed. That should
be incentive enough for
you to put down your
glass and reach for some
water.
3. Do a Variety
of Aerobics
Variety is key when it
comes to the aerobics
44
Debra
Skelton
side of your routine. Getting in calorie-burning

activities is crucial to
quickly eliminating fat
stores. We no longer
believe that long cardio
sessions are the holy grail
of fat loss but getting
your body moving with
calorie-burning activities
is a wonderful way to
intensify your fat loss
results.
The great thing about
aerobic activities is that
these can and should be
fun! Hiking, biking, swimming, jogging, brisk walking any activity that
requires you to move your
body for a decent duration of time and break a
nice sweat in the process.
4. Cut out
Processed Junk
This is one of the easiest ways to quickly and
effectively reduce body
fat, and yet it is met with
such resistance. Why?
Why is it so difficult for us
to give up our packaged,
processed snacks and
treats? This is one obstacle that prevents most
people from achieving
the body that they want.
The best tip for successfully getting processed
junk food out of your life
is to have wholesome
alternatives on hand
while removing the
junk food from your
home.
If you are a late
night snacker, then be
prepared by having
fresh fruit, sliced veggies, plain Greek
yogurt or other wholesome snack replacements on hand.
When your belly is full

of wholesome snacks, its
hard to care too much
about the processed junk
you missed out on.
And soon youll learn to
love how lean and energetic these healthier foods
make you feel.
5. Lift Weights
You might consider this
to be pretty obvious, but
many people are still
resistant to the idea that
resistance training leads
to fat loss. If you find
yourself puzzled by the
idea that lifting heavy
things will reduce the layer of fat on your body,
then allow me to explain.
The act of lifting weights
causes those targeted
muscles to stimulate new
muscle tissue growth.
Now this doesnt mean

that your muscles are
going to get noticeably
larger, but it does mean
that your muscle tissue
will become tighter and
more toned. The increase
in muscle translates to a
higher metabolism, which
means that your body will
naturally burn fat faster
and more efficiently.
6. Use HIIT
High Intensity Interval
Training is a method that
has been quite popular
in the past decade and
for good reason. This
advanced form of aerobics, when done correctly,
is one of the most effective
methods for burning fat.
HIIT is achieved by performing short, intense
burst of aerobic intervals
between less intense

bouts of aerobics. For
example, 2 minutes of
walking followed by a 30
second sprint, done for 20
minutes.
7. Evaluation with a
Fitness Professional
When your car needs
new brakes, you take it
the mechanic. When you
wake up with a fever and
sore throat, you go to the
doctor. When you need to
reduce body fat, a fitness
professional may give you
some tips to make your
fat loss journey more
effective and enjoyable.

THE GRANITE BA
AY HOUSE DOCTOR KEEPS IT LOCAL
The Granite Bay House Doctor is the go to guy when
it comes to home remodels and additions. For the past
four years, Brent Brandolino, owner and contractor of
Granite Bay House Doctor has been making house calls
his top priority.
Brandolino is well known in Granite Bay having been a
resident there for 17 years. Previouslyy, he was involved
the automotive industry for 20 years and decided it was
time for a change. Thats when he met and worked
with a life coach, Karen Harvey with Clarity Coaching
(www.clarityandbalance.com), for guidance into a
different path in life, directing him into the construction
world.
Brandolino prides his business success on knowledge of
the industryy, and also his g
great customer service skills.
I am in too small of an area to not care for my customers,
ranite Bayy, and I have to be on
and I am isolated here in Granite
the ball, and make things happen for them, Brandolino
said.
On a recent Granite Bay bathroom and bedroom

remodel, Brandolino and his construction team
robbed space from an existing nonfunctional
bathroom where it was restructured for more
usable space. The custom upgrades included
retexturing of walls, adding of skylights, and
a privacy door was added to the bathroom,
which was not existent before. The redesign
of the bathroom gave the customers a custom
double sink vanity over the existing standard
single sink. The best part of the remodel by
using the space that was reconfigured, the
customers were able to add a soaking tub to
their new luxury bathroom.
Brandolino suggests that another way of
creating more space is to replace an existing
water heater with a tank-less water heaterr,
which could create an extra four feet in a
remodel.
Brandolino is as passionate about his design
Brandolino works closely with clients from start to

finish on projects including
ng design aspects. W
Walking
into a kitchen, I can visualize the end project, which
will help my customers through the design process,
Brandolino said. He describes himself as both technical
and artistic, both good qualities when trying to find a
contractor. One benefit from using Brandolinos service
is a fast response with a company who supports other
local companies. Brandolino often runs into many of his
clients and friends when picking up building supplies at
Ace Hardware in Granite Bay. Brandolino would like to
add a special thanks to the owner Greg and all the guys
at Ace Hardware Granite Bay.
The General Contractor said that remodeling projects
dont have to be daunting. They can be done in a matter
of days with some reasonably minor upgrades like new
faucets and sinks, new appliance change outs, and even
lighting kit replacements. Revitalizing kitchens doesnt
have to be long and lengthy with large amounts of mess
according to Brandolino.
Being a wine enthusiast, collecting good quality wine

is part of the passion surrounding the hobby. Many
collectors know that value of storing their prized
vintages, keeping them safe with temperature air
controlled cellars. The Granite Bay House Doctor knows
and understands what it takes to create wine savvy
environment and doing so to an existing home is part of

the redesign process that Brandolino prides himself on.

helpful to the receiver
and studies show the

thats a big statement. It

The act of setting our

changes many things
within us. We begin to see

Giving makes us feel

At Green Valley Hospice, we call this part of
our work Grief Healings
because we know that
the strength, wisdom and
compassion that are
sometimes hidden within
us are released for healing
by our losses.
Grief is the process of
healing from all sorts of
things, including the loss
of a loved one.
No special skills or training are necessary to be an
effective hospice volunteer
just a willingness to be
of care and compassionate
support what we call a
hospice heart.
The volunteer team at
Green Valley Hospice is so
important that our owner
and President, Najmeen
Sherazee, directs the
training, orientation and
scheduling of our volunteers personally and
makes sure the hours of
service are flexible and
serve the volunteer as well

Hospice care is made
up of a team of people
dedicated to their part in
the care of the patient.
Volunteers are the soul
of hospice care. Volunteers tell us this is the
most rewarding work they
have ever done and anyone who has ever served
in hospice will likely share
the same sentiment.
The ages of the volunteers ranges from teenagers and college students to spouses and
family who were touched
by hospice and now want
to pay it forward all
walks of life, regardless of
gender, economics, race,
religion or what team
they cheer for.
Hospice care is not

How can you tell

if you have the flu?
Unlike symptoms of a
cold, flu symptoms come
on suddenly. For seniors,
they may include: fever,
headache, fatigue, generalized weakness and or
even extreme exhaustion,
general aches, dry cough,
chest discomfort, watery
discharge from your nose,
and a sore throat.
Dont leave home if you
have flu-like symptoms.
Older adults should be
mindful of symptoms.
The flu is not kind to
older adults. Sinus infections, dehydration and
any chronic conditions
you may already have
could worsen.
If you do get sick, its
important to see your
doctor right away to get a
jump on complications
and get treatment started.
Heart disease, lung conditions, including emphysema and asthma are
especially critical for the
older adult.
You also have an increased risk of getting
pneumonia, which is a
complication of the flu, so
talk to your doctor about
getting the pneumococcal
vaccine.
You dont want to

get the flu this fall,
so what is your plan?
If youve already gotten
your flu shot, then what
else can you do to protect
yourself? Its important to
arm yourself with some
knowledge. Read on ...
Things you can do

to prevent the flu.
1) First of all, germs
Becca
Danielsen
are everywhere, so stop

touching your face.
2) Next, wash your
hands often and use lots
of soap, especially during
the cold and flu season.
Again, germs are just
waiting there to be transferred to their favorite
locations, such as eyes,
hands, and nose to make
you sick.
3) One sure way to
avoid the flu is to avoid
close contact with anyone
who is sick. Older adults
should avoid crowds and
public places during the
flu season.

stay healthy.
1) Change your toothbrushes often. Change
them every three months
and when you get sick. Its
essential.
2) When you go grocery
shopping, use those complimentary hand wipes
for the baskets. That was a
brilliant idea.
3) Use a paper towel to
turn on the water faucet
in a public restroom.
4) Use the paper towel
youre drying your hands
with to open the door,
and then discard it. Never
touch any bare surfaces.
5) Dont share cups or
cutlery with family members while they are sick.
6) Wipe doorknobs with
the anti-bacterial wipes
often. When youre a kid,
germs are beneficial in
building up your immune
system, but not if youre
an older adult. Germs
are not your friend. The
immune system of an older adult is usually compromised.

Seasonal flu viruses change

each year, so you need a new
flu shot annually.
Why does being older

than 65 and getting
the flu put me at risk?
The immune system weakens
as you age, so being 65 or over
puts you at a big risk. You are
more susceptible and seasonal
flu can result in hospitalization
and even death.
Anti-viral meds such as Theraflu and Relenza may be recommended by your doctor and
are most effective when given
within 48 hours of symptoms
showing up.
During the flu season, its best
that the older adult stays close
to home if possible.
And remember, chicken soup
really does work!

hile most people are

packing shorts and
swimsuits for a tropical
holiday this time of year, my
husband and I thought, why
not try a vacation that includes
extensive walking in sub-freezing temperatures? So we
grabbed our knitted hats and
52
scarves and headed to Manhattan.

If youve never been, New
York City is a wonderland this
time of year with some of the
worlds most glorious holiday
window displays showcasing
everything from out-of-thisworld expensive toys at Toys-R-
BY EILEEN WILSON PHOTOS BY TODD WILSON
Us to something a little smaller

but infinitely more expensive
at Tiffany.
When you go, start with a visit
to Rockefeller Center. Throughout Thanksgiving week you can
see the worlds most famous
Christmas tree in various states
of holiday decoration.
The best way to start a visit

to the Big Apple is to board a
bus provided by the New York
Pass. The pass includes free
entrance to numerous museums and attractions and also
gives you a special queue that
bypasses the masses.
Though we intended to ride
the icy-cold, open-air bus to

Central Park for a day of museum hopping, we somehow
ended up at the 9/11 memorial. But theres no wrong way to
go when it comes to New York
City.
After marveling at the
grounds where once stood the
1025GBV053 10/21/2014 12:54 PM Page 53
New Yorks Public Library is no typical library. The

collection houses more than 50 million volumes
and serves as a stockpile of treasures.
World Trade Center, we wandered to Battery Park and
jumped on a ferry to visit the
Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
While the statue is iconic, its the
immigration museum at Ellis
that holds special significance for
families whose ancestors were
processed at the station. Do take
the self-guided audio tour to truly understand the importance
the island played in Americas
history.
SoHo, TriBeca, past the campus of NYU, bus tour guides give
great descriptions not only of
famous landmarks, but they also
offer colorful commentary about
New Yorkers past and present
and insights into the areas
unique architecture.
Theres no shortage of museums in Manhattan. The Upper
East Side, also known as Central
Park East, is home to some of the
worlds most famous works of
art.
From the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Guggenheim to
the MOMA, pieces that you studied in college Art 101 are right
there, and more splendid than
you can imagine. Van Gogh, Dali,
Yankee Stadium has an impressive

museum that showcases memorabilia
from baseball greats.
Kahlo and Picasso to name a few.

And when youre ready to see
some book-based art, head back
down Fifth Avenue to the New
York Public Library. This is no
typical library. The collection,
which houses more than 50 million volumes, most of them
stored underground beneath
Bryant Park, is a stockpile of
treasures, like Frances Hodgson
Burnetts The Secret Garden and
A.A. Milnes original Winnie the
Pooh and Friends stuffed animal
collection. No, sadly you cant
check any of these items out.
The library is for serious research
and includes a display area with
priceless first editions and literary artifacts.
Alas, my husband reached
maximum capacity for art and
culture, so we did what every
sports lover should do we headed to the Bronx for a guided tour
of Yankee Stadium. Even under
snow flurries, this tour is a mustdo. The stadium has an impressive museum that showcases
memorabilia from baseball
greats, like Joe DiMaggio, Lou
Gehrig and The Babe. Sitting in
the press box, and standing
behind home plate were a couple

of highlights of the tour.
But the real star of New York
City, after shopping at the flagship Macys store, visiting Mood
Fabrics (if youre a Project Runway fan, you will know what this
is) and enjoying a Caesar salad, a
glass of wine and a decadent
dessert in a hotel restaurant overlooking Central Park, is the
Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade.
We arrived a half an hour early
in order to stake out a great spot.
Turns out, on several cross
streets youll get a good view
even if you dont show up early.
And side streets near Rockefeller Center are filled with momand-pop coffee and breakfast
places, so grab something warm
while you watch.
Some things we didnt get to
see: The Medieval unicorn tapestries at the Cloisters, the top of
the Empire State Building, and
Purl SoHo, home to one of my
favorite knitting websites.
But thats the magic of New
York City. No matter how much
time you have to spend, theres
always so much more that you
will want to see.
Buses provided by the New York Pass take you to Central

Park. The pass includes free entrance to numerous museums and attractions.
