The cases are memory boxes, filled with

Alzheimers disease or other types of dementia. These memory boxes not only
help residents recognize their units, but
theyre reminders of something else, too

For family members or caregivers who
need a vacation, CountryHouse can also
accommodate short-term respite care.
Company spokeswoman Marcia Houchin said CountryHouse offers a 52-week
wellness curriculum called Lifecycles,
with activities intended not to seem contrived but germane to a normal household.
We consider all parts of daily living to
be activities getting up in the morning,
having breakfast, chatting about different
topics, Houchin said. A lot of the things
they do are meaningful and familiar. Those
who wish participate in setting the table,
or they may be folding towels, filling a bird
feeder, or whatever it was they used to do
those simple, small things that make life
normal and bring you joy, thats what we
try to incorporate into their daily life.
Residents can take their old routines outside, too for those who get anxious, feeling like they need to go home or to work,
for example, a bus or car on site will take
them on an end-of-the-day ride and bring
them back 30 minutes later for supper.
People are usually very apprehensive
about dementia care communities, because they think, I cant lock my mom
up in a place, so we try very hard to help
people feel like theyre not locked up,
Houchin said. If they want to go, we say,
Sure, lets go for a walk, and staff go outside with them.

Planting a flag in Granite Bay was a bit


of a homecoming for CountryHouse itself,
when the $14-million residence opened
in November 2016 at the corner of Barton
Road and Douglas Boulevard. Its the 10th
location and first in California for a franchise managed out of Nebraska, but the
owners of its parent company, Agemark
Corporation, are based out of Orinda.
The owners have always wanted to
build a CountryHouse in California, and
they spent quite a lot of time looking at
different possible locations that were
underserved by memory care, and they
picked Granite Bay, Houchin said.
Visiting from Nebraska, Larkin said the
area suited CountryHouses criteria in another respect they want families who
will be close by and involved. She said relatives of residents even bond with other
residents and families, sometimes, to the
point of coming back after their loved one
has passed on.
In a lot of our communities, once a
resident will pass away, many, many times
we have the families still coming back and
helping, because they make friends with
the residents and they dont want to lose
that connection, Larkin said. Theyre
our partners in care. I dont want to say we
cant do it alone, because we can, but we
dont do it alone. We walk with them along
the journey of Alzheimers, and because
we know the disease process, we are able
to help families through it.

Shadow boxes in front of each resident


room are filled with memorabilia.

Clay Sigg chronicles
Major League Baseball
players who stayed put

G
Clay Sigg

rowing up in the 1960s, some of the Major League Baseball players Clay Sigg
admired mostSandy Koufax, Roberto
Clemente, Stan Musialall had one thing in
common.
Each spent their entire MLB career with one
franchise. While technically the Brooklyn Dodgers signed Clemente before Pittsburgh Pirates
general manager Branch Rickey plucked him as
a minor leaguer via the Rule 5 Draft, and while
Koufax moved with the Dodgers in 1958 to Los
Angeles, each man never donned another big
league uniform or had to have their baseball
card airbrushed to show the hat of a different
team.
Its an increasingly rare feat in a baseball
world where free agency has turned so many
players in recent decades into travelling acts,
vagabonds and mercenaries available to the
highest bidder.
Sigg recently completed a 12-year project researching and writing about the 177 players in
the 20th century who spent their entire career

with one team. The Granite Bay resident by


day a broker married with a wife and three adult
children has a book published in June 2016,
Hometown Heroes: The Single Franchise Baseball Stars of the 20th Century.
For Sigg, some of the players in the book initially were simply those he admired most as a
child, not just for their playing abilities but their
characters.
Just about every single one of these players
was a lifetime player (for the same team), Sigg
said. The teams wouldnt let go of them. (These
players) didnt want to leave. They were there for
life.
In his 10th year as a member of the Society
for American Baseball Research, Sigg made his
criteria 20th century players whod logged at
least 10 seasons in their careers, all for the same
franchise.
All but five teams the Arizona Diamondbacks, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins, and Texas Rangers have had at
least one player do this. One team, the Kansas

FEBRUARY 2017 GRANITE BAY VIEW

1/20/17 2:59 PM

City Royals who began as an expansion franchise in 1969, have had five players who qualify:
George Brett, Frank White, Paul Splittorff, John
Wathan, and Dennis Leonard.
Sigg included players in his book like Clemente, Hall of Fame pitcher Carl Hubbell, and
longtime Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek,
each signed in the minors by one team but who
each spent their entire MLB careers for another
team.
Sigg made exceptions on his 10-season rule
for the following players:
Hall of Fame pitcher Addie Joss, who died
of bacterial meningitis shortly after going
to spring training in 1911 in preparation
for his 10th season.
Cleveland Indians shortstop Ray Chapman who was killed by a pitched ball
during his ninth season in 1920;
Houston Astros pitcher Don Wilson,
who died of carbon monoxide poisoning
in 1975, months after his ninth season
concluded;
George Selkirk, whose career was cut
short by his service in World War II.
Like any great research project, Sigg found
himself surprised by some of the things he
learned.
It didnt work out perfectly, because in my
mind, Yogi Berra should be a lifetime Yankee
but he had nine at-bats for the New York Mets,
Sigg said.
Other greats defined by their work for one
franchise quietly had stints with other teams,
Sigg noted: Christy Mathewson, Ryne Sandberg,
Lou Brock.

Printopya, is

There are plenty of guys who blew that at the


end, the Duke Sniders of the world or the Hank
Greenbergs or the Harmon Killebrews, Sigg
said.
It took years for Sigg to complete his work, with
him waiting in recent years for the retirement of
the final player whod played for one team entirely and logged at least one season in the 20th
century, Derek Jeter. (Sigg also kept tabs on longtime Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins, whose career began 2000, though the Phillies
eventually let Rollins go.)
Now, after a project that represented thousands and thousands of hours, Sigg will need a
new one. Hes thinking of a history book involving Abraham Lincoln.

Gold Country Media staff member Graham Womack


writes regularly about baseball history for Sporting News
and a variety of other publications. He has known Sigg
for several years as a fellow member of the Society for
American Baseball Research.

Tony Carmack on
Selection Committee
for Newbery Medal

ot too many people can say theyve


read 800 books in one year, but for
Tony Carmack, reading so much is
all in a days work. Carmack is the branch
manager of the Granite Bay Library, and
while reading comes with the job, this
past year as a member of the committee
that selects the Newbery Medal book for
2017, he read hundreds of books in order
to make his selection.
The Newbery Medal is a literary award
given by the Association for Library Service to Children to the author who has
made the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. The award was named for John
Newbery, an 18th-century English publisher of juvenile books. The Newbery and
the Caldecott Medal, which is an honor
awarded to picture books, are considered
to be the two most prestigious awards for
childrens literature in the United States.
With such a full reading schedule, the
Granite Bay View was lucky to catch him
without his face in a book for a few moments to find out more!

fewer words. Books can help us all grow


emotionally and take you places you
might never go. They can even change
your life. Its kind of funny but as a child
I was never much of a reader. It wasnt
until I was much older and I majored
in English where so much reading was
required that I began to appreciate and
enjoy reading.

What a great honor to be able to


decide which childrens book will
be awarded the Newbery Medal.
How were you selected to be on
the committee?
I was chosen to be one of the 15 committee members by a vote from my
peers, those who are members of the
Association of Library Services for Children, the ALSC, which has about 3,000
members throughout the United States.
We were each asked to nominate seven
childrens books that were published
in 2016 that we felt were the best. With
each nomination we had to submit a
justification for the books to be a medal winner and some distinguishing features of the books.
We heard this isnt the first time
youve been voted to select a good
childrens book.
Yes, I was also a member of the 2012
committee to select the Caldecott award
for the best picture book for children.
You must really enjoy reading.
Was it difficult to read 800 books
in one year?
It was a lot of reading, but I really enjoy
reading childrens books as they can do
anything an adult book can do but with

Did you receive any feedback


from your library patrons about
good books from 2016, and what
was your favorite?
Because Im on the Newbery Committee I cant tell you my favorites or even
the books I nominated. But I really enjoyed last years Newbery winner, Last
Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Pea.
It is a powerful intergenerational book
that masterfully uses few words to tell a
salient message about diversity, beauty
and gratitude. Im also always interested
to know what the children think of new
books. One patron, Parker Fellows, even
did video book reviews for me! Parker
said two of his favorite books were Ollies
Adventure and Wild Robot, with Ollies
Adventure his favorite because, according to Parker, the plot was so in-depth
and it had an aspect of eeriness you could
never duplicate. How the story folded together and played out was awe-inspiring
and jaw dropping.
Are there any changes youve
witnessed during your career as
a librarian these past several years
and what is popular with your
Granite Bay patrons?
The biggest shift in libraries hasnt
been the wax or wane of membership but
the way in which libraries are perceived
and used. Whereas once libraries were
the repository of knowledge (mostly in
the forms of books), libraries today are
community centers, maker spaces and
a source for digital content. Heightened
awareness of early language development
and literacy has had an explosion of participation in emergent literacy programming. The most well-attended programs
at the Granite Bay Library are the Mother Goose on the Loose classes, which are
geared for those under 2.

Newbery Medal
winning books
Tony Carmack and the other members
of the Newbery committee convened
Jan. 18 in Atlanta to discuss and vote
on the winner for the year. The 2017
Newbery Medal was announced Jan.
23, which was after Granite Bay Views

ust down the road from Granite Bay


High School stands a red building
that owner Rob Maxey and others
at youth organization Campus Life refer
to as The Barn. Architecturally, it looks
like a schoolhouse, complete with a basketball court, picnic-table dining area
and volleyball net set up over part of a
wide-open lawn. Inside are half a dozen
couches and three enormous flat-screen
TVs, complete with consoles and controllers for teens to play on after school.
Photographs on the walls show what
kind of shenanigans the Barns young
visitors get up to: soccer banquets, visits from urban students and even a trip
to British Columbia. On top of the roof,
as is becoming more popular for California businesses and houses alike, 30 solar
panels soak up the sun, running everything thats inside.
In November, Campus Life made the
jump to solar electricity with the help
of Granite Bays Capital City Solar. The

downside? Installation was when the


days started getting darker and shorter.
But Maxey said the whole process took
two days, was unobtrusive and will give
the youth support organization a chance
to be good stewards of the resources
they have. It also will allow Campus Life
to provide otherwise expensive court
lights for evening basketball games an
extra perk for Maxey, who enjoys sports
as much as the teens.
The Barn serves as a hub not just for
youth but for the community, hosting everything from weddings and graduation
parties to Eagle Scout meetings and administrative team-building seminars. The
Granite Bay High School freshman class
builds its homecoming float in the driveway every fall, which helps new students
to network and interact with each other.
Perhaps the most crucial part of switching to solar, though, is the payoff. The
investment for this system was about
$40,000, but it will pay itself off in roughly

six years, according to Capital Citys senior advisor Brian Hunerlach.


Its really about cost savings, said Maxey. We are sensitive to the environment
but it was more of a financial decision.
With the money Campus Life saves
on its electricty bill over time roughly $400 a month, Maxey said the organization plans to hire another intern,
which will allow it to reach two more
public schools and hundreds more kids.
In affluent areas like Granite Bay, the
need for youth enrichment can be tough
to see. Many families here never have to
face the reality of not being able to afford housing or transportation, let alone
food and clothing. But needs do exist in
the community, especially for emotional,
mental and social support. Campus Life
acts as a middle ground between churches and schools, strengthening both spiritual and academic aspects of a students
life. It also aims to bring the beauty of service to light for local teens through projects like fixing bikes for the homeless.

Often students in affluent areas dont


have a lot of service opportunities, Maxey said. We give them opportunities
to reach the less fortunate. They come
home and realize what they do have.
In addition to supporting more teens,
the switch to solar gave the Campus Life
the chance to strengthen existing community relationships. Though solar is
becoming a competitive business in the
area, Maxey said they chose Capital City
Solar in part because of good feedback
from neighbors, but also because the
business has shown up in the past when
Campus Life asked for sponsorship.
For us it was important to go local,
Maxey said. Capital City has supported
events of ours in the past, like the annual
Chili Cookoff.
Events like this, and the generosity of
those who sponsor them, are what help
Campus Life provide its outreach and support to youth in the community. The Granite Bay organization is one of 150 Youth for
Christ sites across the United States, and
Maxey said this group alone reaches over
1,000 kids a week and counting.
We work on character, confidence, responsibility and faith, which is an optional component, he said. Well share the
hope we have if youre interested, but we
just want to be a light in the community.

Planting seeds
at Learn, Love and Grow
BY MACKENZIE MYERS

New hands-on
preschool settles
in Granite Bay

pon walking into Learn, Love and


Grow, a new childcare facility in
Granite Bay, it might seem like
owner Nisha Brown really knows how to
decorate for Valentines Day. The walls
are either white or fire-engine red. Hand
towels covered in hearts and the word
love hang from dowels near the kitchen
area. Red shelves, topped with red heartshaped candy dishes, hold a variety of
red bowls, cups and cooking utensils.
According to Brown, though, it looks like
this all the time in here. Red is a family
color and love is a cornerstone of her
organization.
Not just love, but industry. The kids
cook from scratch in the buildings fully-functional kitchen, clean their workspaces and make crafts while building
positive character traits. Admittedly, in
a place with so many lessons, programs,
posters, charts, stations and shelves, its
hard to pick one area to focus on. Theres
a lot to take in, but what is playful is purposeful. What is cluttered is thorough.
Brown, 48, has been moving her business around for years, thanks to her role
as a military spouse. Shes opened up
shop throughout California Malibu,

16

Beverly Hills, Stevenson Ranch, Carlsbad. Shes been back east Omaha,
Chicago, her native Cleveland. Shes even
been in the Far East, in Iwakuni, Japan. In
1993, her first operation was a six-child
daycare, but now she oversees hundreds
of kids per week. And after 23 years of
childcare, shes accumulated just about
every supply under the sun: 500 boxes
worth, in fact, which she unpacked for
the Granite Bay location in November.
While she was excited about the new site,
unpacking was a bittersweet experience
for Brown.
Every location Ive opened, Ive done
it with my kids, she said. Now the nest
is empty.
Browns daughters, one an actress in
Los Angeles and one an illustrator for
Warner Brothers, have not only helped
her set up the business, but have helped
her shape it over the last two dozen years.
I developed workshops at each of
their milestones, Brown said, from
learning colors and reading to babysitting. My daughters grew up in a DIY environment. I was the mom who refused to
complain about programs and, instead, I
decided to build them.

Brown, who goes by Ms. Nisha, also


takes parental needs into account. If
children are having trouble listening to
parents, shell run a program about respect. If a child struggles with hygiene,
a parent can express this to Brown and
an upcoming program will address the
importance of self-grooming. Shy children may experience a workshop that
encourages confidence; messy children,
a workshop about how to make cleaning
enjoyable. The business is all about fun
and games, but also about sending kids
away with integrity.

When they first get here I tell them, If
you can see it, its yours. It belongs to you
but were going to share and were going
to take care of our stuff, Brown said. I
raised kids in Beverly Hills so you can
imagine what Ive seen the kids who
have everything and arent grateful for it.
Responsibility and respect are part of
the wheelhouse, from toddlers all the
way up to teenagers and even parents
who attend. When parents drop their kids
off, Brown insists they come in and interact, rather than just waving and walking
away. When teen and preteen girls take
Browns babysitting courses, she reminds
the students when theyre slouching,
when they speak too quietly, when they
arent asserting their professionalism.
She gives them binders of babysitting
forms that they organize themselves
and before they can finish training, each
sitter is expected to bring in a child and
interact with them to prove their capability. For crafts and recipes with parental permission, of course Brown
has kids go to the store with her and help
choose materials, not only giving them a
say in what theyre creating, but letting
them experience decision-making, problem-solving and resourcefulness.
Youre teaching them things like, Im

said. Youre planting seeds.

Though shes moved around a lot in the


last two decades, Brown is looking forward to nurturing her own seed in Granite Bay and said that this community is
home for now. Having lived in Granite
Bay in the late 1980s, she found what she
calls keeper friends who convinced her
to come back with the business in tow.
I did my research, asking Are the families here engaged with their kids? she
said. And that is Granite Bay and Roseville, all day long.

hough its visitors center is visible


from Riley and Greenback in Old
Folsom, parts of the Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park are hard to see
driving by. The brick, granite, steel and
lumber buildings are tucked behind lush
green grass and thickets of ghost pine and
eucalyptus. The facility a network of
footbridges and trails, pods of switches
and transformers, gaping spillway gates
and a series of canals was active for 57
years, opening up in 1895 and shutting
down in 1952. The structures are now obsolete and overgrown, but 121 years ago
this facility was state-of-the-art, making
Folsom famous long before Johnny Cash.
Horatio G. Livermore, the powerhouses
creator, came to California in 1850 for
the same reason as almost everyone else:
gold. But by 1861, he caught on to a different idea, recognizing the tremendous potential of the areas waterways. Initially, he
wanted to use the water to power a lumber mill but found it difficult to move logs
down from the mountains. He and his

sons took over Natoma Water and Mining


in 1861 and began constructing the Folsom Powerhouse the following year. Since
the prison at San Quentin was full, the
state needed land for a new prison. Livermore had land but needed labor to finish
the dam, canals and powerhouse, so they
traded, establishing a strong relationship
between the two institutions.

2007. It was definitely a working relationship and partnership with the state
of California.
BATTLE OF THE CURRENTS

Though its an aesthetically interesting


place now, the main asset of the Folsom
Powerhouse in its heyday was its ability
to transmit power like few other places in
the United States.
What they did here high-voltage,
long-distance transmissions It wasnt
the first power plant to do this, but it was
one of the first, Overman said.
In a greater historical context, the story
of the Folsom Powerhouse comes down
to whats referred to as a battle of currents. Thomas Edison and his direct-current power is what most of the country
used at the time, but it wasnt capable of
relaying power over long distances. When
alternating-current came around, the status quo flipped completely; for the first
time, powerhouses could generate electricity that lasted over long transmissions,
like the 22 miles between Folsom and Sacramento. It may have been risky for Livermore to take on such a new enterprise,
but it was a successful alternative to his
failed lumber mill.

day, the Folsom
Powerhouse was

power plants

States equipped
to transmit high
voltage over long
distances. Left:
Switches line the
wall of the old
power plant, which
produced only
2 percent of the
energy generated
by the new Folsom
Dam today.

STANDING INSIDE HISTORY

Ivy creeps up the main powerhouse and


moss grows between the granite slabs of
the spillway gates below, as if its the grout
holding the whole thing together. Inside,
it smells like dusty metal and damp rock.
Crooked light fixtures and arched windows illuminate four penstocks metal
tunnels that look like industrial waterslides and four generators down the
length of the room. Each penstock is eight
feet in diameter, according to Overman,
and is capable of handling 250 cubic feet
per second. Thats about 250 basketballs
worth of water, flowing through the penstock in a single second. Even at that rate,
the old powerhouse produced a mere 2
percent of what the Folsom Dam can produce today.
When the powerhouse was in function,
water flowed down the canals outside,
down the penstocks and into a turbine

22

section. The turbines vertical blades


caught the water, turning a horizontal
shaft that spun a magnet within a series of
copper coils on the other side of the wall
in the generator room. The resulting electricity was transmitted through a switch
on the opposite walls control panel,
sending the power through transformers
and wires linked to Sacramento.
You had the American River flowing

through this building, said Overman,


stomping lightly on the floor. It diverts
from itself about two miles upstream,
comes here, flows through and makes electricity. Then it reconnects with itself and
flows out into whats now Lake Natoma.
High above, locally quarried granite
blocks still form the back walls of the
powerhouse where the water flowed in.
Overman explained that prisoners did

Generators like this one used copper coils to


create electricity from spinning turbines.

about two-thirds of the work on the canals and dams upstream, while local Italian masons put the powerhouse together.
This thing is still as solid as it was
when it was built in 1895, he said.
Despite the awe-inspiring, larger-thanlife penstocks, the whole show ran on
two smaller ones, called exciters. Sandwiched between the main penstocks, the
exciters look like miniature versions of
their neighbors. They served as direct-current motors, helping generate magnetic fields in the large alternating-current
structures. If these generators went down,
the whole system went down with it, Overman explained.
HIDDEN INGENUITY

A lesser-known aspect of the park is a


smaller secondary powerhouse, down
by the river and typically not open to the
public. This auxiliary structure was built
in 1897 to work around an unexpected
drought. It allowed operators to take advantage of another 20 feet the water could
fall, gathering that much more energy
to spin additional turbines. Operations

Folsom Powerhouse

here were a little different from the main


powerhouse, using two pulleys joined
by hemp rope. As water fell through the
penstock and turned the lower pulley, it
spun the upper one, creating electricity
through a generator near the top.
The pulley generating electricity is so
high up, of course, to keep it above the water line, Overman said, pointing to some
high-water marks on the back concrete
wall: 27 feet in March 1907, 22 feet in February 1986, to give a few examples. Walking back to out to the footbridge, Overman stressed the quick thinking behind
this secondary structure, the swift action
that operators took to make the most of
the drought threatening their output.
It was critical to keep energy flowing to
Sacramento, he said, so they engineered
it on the fly. And all drawn out, too. There
werent computers at the time to do this
sort of thing.

A CELEBRATION OF LIGHT

Though this technology required occasional troubleshooting and created bitter tension between American electrical
companies and though H. G. Livermores gold-rush dreams didnt pan out
the way he planned the Folsom Power-

house was cause for celebration throughout the region.


Eventually, the new technology allowed
Sacramento to expand its streetcar coverage and illuminated the city with street
lamps. It brought an alternative to costly
coal power, the convenience of refrigeration to businesses and light to peoples
homes.
Thats why this is a historical landmark,
Overman said. This was going from a very
rural to a very urban area. It was all about
electrifying Sacramento.
In September 1895, thousands of people from hundreds of miles away gathered
in Sacramento to witness the spectacle.
There were parades and floats, gun salutes and lights strung all over the capitol. When operators finally flipped the
switch in the Folsom Powerhouse, 22
miles away, the city buzzed to life in a way
it never had before.

efore she was president of the Placer County Association of


Realtors, Kim Tucker was a transplant here, shifted by Rainer
Bancorp from her home town of Seattle to help open finance
and mortgage companies in California. Twenty-seven years later,
Tucker, 64, lives in Lincoln and has her finger on the pulse of the
local real estate market, serving her second stint as president of
the countys 3,166-member Realtor group.
PCAR has been around since 1935, but its functions as both
a political and fundraising organization, arguably, have never
been more vital to the community. Placer Countys population
spiked from about 251,000 to 350,000 between 2000 and 2010,
according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and the ongoing influx of
both families and businesses have put it on track to approach
400,000 by 2020. In addition to having raised about $75,000 last
year for various Placer County organizations last year, PCAR
keeps its members abreast of the latest trends and legal issues
in the areas evolving real estate market, and Tucker spared a
moment one Friday morning in January to talk about some of
them, and whats ahead in 2017. This interview has been edited

What are the main functions of PCAR,
as an organization?
Education, marketing we watch
whats going on in the area to protect private property rights. We do a lot of work
to protect private property rights.
What do you do to protect private
property rights?
Several years ago, we had what was
called a private property transfer tax that
showed up in Fiddyment Farms. Susan
Rohan and I were the ones that found it
originally. I read an article in the paper
that said this thing had happened, and I
called her and said, Im not sure I understand this, but it doesnt feel right. It was
a private property transfer tax that was
being assessed, in all new home subdivisions. Once the home sold, then they were
charging a private property transfer tax,
but they were not disclosing it. So when
you would go in and buy a new home, you
were not told that when you go to sell your
home, this private property tax would be
assessed, which could be about $2,000 per
transaction, in those priced homes. It was
an agreement between the developer and
Placer Land Trust, the Sierra Club. That money goes
to the Placer Land Trust

26

to buy open space anywhere in the world.


Theres no oversight on that at all.
So we fought it really hard, we got disclosure on a state level, and Susan was put
on a plane and sent back to Chicago to
talk to all the government affairs directors
about it, and there are now something like
seven states that have outlawed private
property transfer taxes because of our little Placer County. And there are two states
that had it and its been repealed.
Do you talk a lot with city officials? Do
you have government partners?
Absolutely. We have our local government relations committee, and they
monitor whats going on with local government, and we make sure we go out
and meet people and get to know them.
We have key contacts on the state level, I
happen to be (Jim) Nielsens key contact,
and then Geoffrey (Poulos) was just appointed as (Kevin) Kileys key contact, so
that we can call them up at a moments
notice and say, This is going on, whats
your input, what can we do, how can we
partner with you. We want to have an
open door with all of our public officials
so that if we do have an issue, we can
identify who to talk to and collaborate on
a solution.
Can you give a forecast of Placer
Countys real estate market in 2017?
What do you expect to see?
Its still definitely, at this point, a sellers
market. So a low inventory. We probably
need to see some more building in order
to balance it out. Im not sure anybody
has a crystal ball.

Kim Tucker, Placer County Association


of Realtors president

Families and corporations alike are


continuing to buy property here.
Whats the draw? Whats special about
this area?
When I talk to my clients that are coming, for instance, from the Bay Area, they
usually pick this area because of the
schools. I would say last year, a lot of my
transferee clients have come because of
jobs, theyve been transferred, mostly tech
companies. Then they have young children so theyre really concerned about
the schools, and even though they may
be working in Folsom, theyll want to live
here in Placer County.
Weve heard from several people who
have bought property here and are
commuting to the Bay Area for work. Is
that becoming common now?
I think were seeing more and more of
it. My own clients, I have several that are
commuting.
When did that start happening, or
becoming common?
After the big recession, you would see a
lot more commuting. I would say the last
few years, maybe the last five.

Does that say more about real estate


here, real estate there or both?
Real estate there is outlandishly expensive, and they also have lack of inventory.
In the Bay Area, theyre also looking at a
lot of rent control issues, so that makes it
even harder.
You mentioned a lack of inventory here,
too. Can you tell me more about that?
Last week I did a comparative market
analysis for the Lincoln area, (which is)
what we use to price a home. There
were 18 homes in a quarter-mile radius of
Lincoln Crossing and they were all either
sold, or had just gone pending. There was
nothing active, so thats what were pretty
much seeing in Placer County across the
board right now.
In the real estate market, is there any
concern that theres more demand
than space in some cities, like Rocklin
for instance, which is approaching
build-out? Is there a concern that were
going to run out of space, because of
the demand?
I think thats always a concern. I think
that Roseville has annexed land in the last
couple years. Rocklin is close to build-out,
so theyll be doing infill-type projects.
One thing that does surprise me is that
I have quite a few lots for sale. Those are
not selling as fast as Id think they would,
considering the fact that theres just not
the inventory.
So there are plenty of lots, but not
enough houses.
Theres just not enough houses.

A lot of the new neighborhoods being


built in this area are relatively upscale,
or at least unfordable to people
with less than six-figure incomes.
What has to happen in the market to
either prevent or address a potential
affordable housing shortage here?
Im not sure what needs to happen at
this point.
Do you have any thoughts on why
affordable housing is not more
common here?
Because its not economically feasible
for them to build inexpensive homes, and
then you also get, in the higher-end areas,
the not in my back yard mentalities. People really fight it.
What kind of people are moving to
South Placer?
You get the young families coming
again, for the better schools, better lifestyle here. We have access to the mountains and the lakes and things that are
really desirable. Then the retirement communities, of course theyre coming just
for the lifestyle.
What are the biggest differences
between South Placer and the north
county in terms of the real estate
market?
Its so varied Its a different demographic. If people are looking for more country
living, theyre going to go to Auburn, or if
they want to be above the fog line. You hear
that quite often from people I want to

be above the fog line, or I want to be below the snow line. It just depends on the
people. I would say that the majority of
people coming from Southern California
or the Bay Area arent looking for Auburn,
usually. Theyre looking for Granite Bay.

What are some of the biggest


challenges facing the local real estate
industry in 2017?
One is the inventory, and lack of.
Another one that just came to my
mind is some of the solar issues, PACE or
HERO (Property Assessed Clean Energy,
Home Energy Renovation Opportunity) loans that are being attached to your
home, to your tax base, so when you go
to sell it, it makes it very difficult to
sell. And consumers are not
aware of it, when they buy
solar. One of them is the
mPower program,
which is a Placer
County program. It
attaches to your tax
base, so when you go
to sell your home, a lot
of the conventional lenders will not loan on it, so sometimes it has to either be paid off
or you have to have an all-cash
offer. Thats one of the huge challenges weve come up with in the last year,
so weve been working hard to get more

disclosure, get more understanding with


Fannie (Mae) and Freddie (Mac).
If people are selling, where are they
going?
That would be hard to track. I would
say the majority of my clients this year
are moving to Nevada. Im getting a lot of
Reno, a lot of Las Vegas clients, and a lot
of my clients are retirees, so thats where
theyre retiring. Cost of living is much
better. They can get a new home on a golf
course and live very comfortably without
the taxation we have in California.

ishing everyone a happy and prosperous New Year.


Lets reflect on the year 2016 and some of the major
news that impacted the wine industry:
The Prisoner Wine Company sold to Constellation for approximately $285 million. Brands included The Prisoner and
Saldo, which was previously owned by David Phinney of Orin
Swift, which he sold for $40 million in 2010. No vineyards were
included in the sale.
This year Phinney sold his 11 Orin Swift brands, including inventory and his tasting room in St. Helena, to the Gallo Family,
the largest family-owned winery in the world. The sale price was
not disclosed but is rumored to be around $350 million. Again,
no vineyards were included in the sale.
The Gallo Family also acquired Sonomas J Vineyards in 2016.
New Zealand lost more than 5 million bottles of wine due to a
7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck in November.
Bad weather, from fierce hail storms to major freezing conditions, caused many problems for winemakers throughout
France. Wine production is estimated to be down about 10 percent, with some regions as low as 50 percent.
The Languedoc region of France lost approximately 10 percent of crops due to a fierce forest fire just prior to the start of
the picking season.
A major storm hit the Riverland region in Australia, destroying
anywhere from 50-100 percent of vines. The Riverland region
supplied 63 percent of South Australias crush this year, and 27
percent of the nations grape crush. This will have a major impact on the 2017 crush.
Production is estimated to have plummeted by 35 percent in
Argentina and 21 percent in Chile due to climatic events.
The California wine industry remains healthy, with an increase in production, consumption and exports.
Overall, we do not expect to see price increases in local wines
but would expect to see increases with imports, especially wines
from South America.

Erik Loigom, with his wife, Crickett, owns and operates UnWined in Folsom.
Born in Australia, he has visited most of the wineries in Australia and has
traveled to many wine regions around the world.

Get everything you


want out of 2017
FITN ESS VIEW |

Debra Skelton

eres to a Happy New Year and to getting everything that


you want out of 2017! We have a clean slate with a brand
new year spread out in front of us, filled with endless
possibilities. How will you harness your potential to create the
very best you? I recommend using the teachings of Dr. Maxwell
Maltz and his legendary book, The New Psycho-Cybernetics.
Dr. Maltz created the original science of self-improvement and
success, so who better to turn to when youre ready to take your
life to another level? His teachings have stood the test of time.
Take the following and get all that you want out of 2017:

1. USE YOUR IMAGINATION


If you thought imaginations were only valued in preschool,
think again. One of the key points in The New Psycho-Cybernetics is the technique of using your imagination to reprogram
and manage your self-image.
You may have been exposed to self-improvement strategies
that tell you to act as if or fake it till you make it. Those typically dont work, because your self-image is still the same.
According to Dr. Maltz, your self-image is the key to changing
your actions and habits. If you want to lose 50 pounds, you first
have to think of yourself as someone 50 pounds lighter.
Spend time in your imagination. See yourself 50 pounds
lighter. Experience a day in your life at this slimmed-down size.
Imagine everything down to the smallest detail.
According to Dr. Maltz, this imagination time will begin to
change your self-image to that of a person 50 pounds lighter,
and your actions and habits will fall into place.

2. REJECT NEGATIVE THOUGHTS


Negative thoughts will undoubtedly arise as you use your
imagination to see your ideal self. Im not really going to lose
50 pounds. Ive tried losing weight before and it never works.
Im always going to be overweight. This imagination stuff is
bogus. It wont work for me.
Dr. Maltz says that the instant you receive a negative thought,
dismiss it. Dont spend any time on it at all.
The quicker you dismiss negative thoughts, the less impact
they will have on your self-image. Also youll find that fewer and
fewer negative thoughts arise once you get into the habit of dismissal.

3. BE NOSTALGIC FOR THE FUTURE


Its so easy to be nostalgic for the past, especially when you
only remember the good stuff. But what good does it do to wish
for things that are long gone?
Dr. Maltz recommends developing nostalgia for the future.
In your imagination youve already lost the 50 pounds, so start
pining for the future! Your self-image will lock onto that picture
and your nostalgic feelings will fuel the fire.

4. IM THE KIND OF PERSON THAT


What kind of person are you?
Im the kind of person that loves sweets.
Im the kind of person that hates exercise.
Im the kind of person that cant lose weight.
OR
Im the kind of person that eats fresh and healthy food.
Im the kind of person that keeps fit.
Im the kind of person that maintains an ideal body weight.
Your self-image will fulfill any label that you try on. The power
is all in your hands.
