s someone completely unfamiliar with college football when I entered college, I could not have imagined the fervor of Cal Bear fans. What was all this commotion throughout campus and spilling outside the stadium for each home game?! Apparently, Bezerkeley wasnt just a haven for hippies and high-brows, after all. We had sports fans, and devoted ones at that. I like sports. All was good. Then I went to graduate school at the University of Oregon and was exposed to Ducks fans. Whoa. Then I met a woman whod attended Notre Dame and followed the universitys football team religiously. Oh, boy. College football is undoubtedly a bizarre world
full of its own special rivalries and passions, and one of which I know little. Im more of a professional sports type of person, although my enjoyment with this level of competition conflicts with feelings of disgust over the impurity of it all the ridiculously high salaries, the egos, the obnoxious off-the-field behavior. I also have no capacity for remembering sportsrelated facts, such as who won the 2002 mens World Cup, even though soccer ranks among my favorite sports to watch. Instead, I remember
stuff like when, after some Super Bowl in the 1980s, Jerry Rice told reporters in a post-win euphoric haze that quarterback Joe Montana always fails to amaze me. Ha! But for all the excitement of college and professional football, high school has proven itself a worthy foe in terms of fan loyalty. Here in Granite Bay, residents have many reasons to cheer for their local team: Who can forget the schools 21-20 victory over national powerhouse Long Beach Poly last December to earn the Grizzlies a state championship? So, with that big win in mind, let the new football season commence!

It was the biggest influence on my football career, coming up through Granite Bay High School. I felt that mindset to just want to better yourself as a player, and better ourselves as a team every single day.
Miles Burris, Granite Bay High School, Class of 2007
said US Cryotherapy Operations Manager Todd Kramer. The reported benefits of the treatment, including reduced inflammation and pain, stem from lowering the skins temperature. Blood flows to the bodys core during treatments and becomes oxygen rich as the body tries to maintain its temperature. Circulation of this blood to the rest of the body reportedly aids in healing and rejuvenation. Those not in the professional sporting arena can benefit from cryotherapy, too. Kevin Kramer said inflammation-related chronic pain conditions, such as back, neck and knee pain and arthritis, may improve with cold air therapy. The treatment may be used post-surgery, and improved blood circulation also benefits skin conditions. Clients should remember that while cryotherapy can result in
health improvement, it is not a medical treatment. Were really offering an enhancement to recovery or wellness, Kevin Kramer said. As for Burris, cryotherapy has become a critical part of his recovery regimen. Burris, who graduated from Granite Bay High School in 2007, went on to play football at San Diego State University before the Raiders drafted him in the fourth round last year. He attributes his success in the NFL to the training he received under retired Coach Ernie Cooper in high school. It was the biggest influence on my football career, coming up through Granite Bay High School, said Burris, who started in the program as a Junior Grizzly. I felt that mindset to just want to better yourself as a player, and better ourselves as a team every single day.

Coach Don Nava promotes Totally Fit Life

BY SENA CHRISTIAN
Fit Inside And Out
Michael Forde, left front, and Doug Juday, in red, run laps around Granite Bay High Schools gym during a Totally Fit Life workout.
oach Don Nava calls the difficult decision to uproot his life in the Bay Area and move to Granite Bay to start a mens fitness group divine intervention. He and his wife, Beckys, three grown children were out of the house (his oldest son is Daniel Nava, an outfielder for the Boston Red Sox), and Nava, a Christian, felt in his heart that God was urging him toward this mission and he obliged, starting a Totally Fit Life mens program three mornings a week inside Granite Bay High Schools basketball gym. Theres also a program for women. Nava, 60, aims to be a catalyst to cause sustained transformation in peoples lives, and does so through a holistic system he developed. Although most people understand the benefits of exercise, and know what healthy dishes to eat and which foods to avoid, many people dont step up
to the plate and make fitness a priority, he said. So, this life coach has developed a six-pronged approach for assisting people in the goal of developing ones physical, nutritional, mental, emotional and directional fitness. And in the middle, he put spirituality.
These are 35 guys that have so much fun, its not even fair. Its about fun, friends and fitness, and in that order.
Coach Don Nava
Holistic Approach
On an early morning in August, Nava led a group of men in nonstop exercises they ran laps around the basketball court, jumped rope, did push-ups, crawled across the floor and did other creative workouts. He kept them moving for most of the hour. And the men didnt seem to mind. These are 35 guys that have so much fun, its not even fair, Nava said. Its about fun, friends and fitness, and in that order. Having been a trainer for 35 years, working with everyone from professional athletes to Catholic priests, Nava recognizes that the key factor in effective exercising is it must be fun. Otherwise, people wont come back. Another critical factor: accountability. Totally Fit Life participant Eric Bose, who works in real estate development and serves on the Eureka Union School District board of trustees, said Navas program is both rigorous and enjoyable. His holistic fitness techniques, built upon variety, camaraderie, accountability and personal attention, are exactly what is needed to find a balance between professional, physical and social health, Bose said. Several of the men in the program have developed friendships outside of class. All of them have a nickname Rocket, Lurch, the New Guy given to promote a sense

of camaraderie. Nava jokes with them often (at one point accusing the men of taking too many donut and cigarette breaks during class). Dr. Michael Forde, a local dentist, has attended Totally Fit Life for about 18 months. I enjoy TFL because it allows me to experience again the camaraderie I valued when participating in organized sports in the past, Forde said. Coach Nava has all those qualities of great coaches that I had during high school (the) belief in ones ability to improve and an ability to express that without yelling at someone. Underscoring everything Nava says and does
is his firm belief that fitness as usual isnt good enough in creating longterm, sustainable holistic health. In the Bay Area, Nava trained professional football players for 15 years before being asked by a seminary in 1989 to train Catholic priests. It was a life-changing experience for me, he said. He saw these mens self-esteem skyrocket. In 1991, he started a program for six executives in the basement of a church, which eventually grew to 150 people the men who ran Silicon Valley. Nava was soon traveling to Europe and Australia to lead corporate team building and promote his six characteristics of fitness. In 2006, Nava wrote the book Fit After 40: 3 Keys to Looking Good and Feeling Great, and started Totally Fit Life in 2010, which is a training pro-
gram that focuses on healthy relationships, spiritual growth and living a purpose-filled life. Nava became a Christian 40 years ago while attending West Texas State (now called West Texas A&M University) on a football scholarship. In developing Totally Fit Life, he included a spiritual component, feeling a persons relationship with God is critical in their overall health.
Transform The Heart

On weekday afternoons, Nava can be found in the caf on the campus of Bayside Church in Granite Bay, where he mentors men and women. Nava is on Baysides ministry staff and talks about all sorts of personal, private and public issues with fellow parishioners. He considers himself a behavioral modification life coach, helping people transform their hearts as
the first step to an overall life change. That philosophy can be seen at the end of each Wednesday workout with the men at Granite Bay High School, when the group gathers round for prayers. During a recent prayer circle, Nava talked about avoiding the sin of preference, where people look at others social status, wealth and connections instead of looking at everyone equally, and with compassion. For the start of the new school year, Nava proposed that the dads in the group take an active role in instilling in their children at least one management skill. He shared his advice: Say please, say thank you, keep your appointments, follow through on your commitments.

For A Fallen Friend

Heath Peters does CrossFit at a gym in Arkansas. He and his wife, Beth, started a charity to assist veterans dealing with posttraumatic stress disorder.
COURTESY PHOTOS BETH PETERS
Johnny America Clothing honors fallen Granite Bay soldier

BY R.V. SCHEIDE
rmy veteran Heath Peters was on his second tour of duty in Iraq when he met Trevor Hogue at Camp Liberty, Baghdad, in 2007. Peters, from Fort Smith, Ark., and Hogue, from Granite Bay, immediately hit it off. The two soldiers found they shared many of the same interests and the same sense of humor. They became best friends, Army buddies, and vowed to stay in touch after completing their enlistments. Hogue was honorably discharged first, and in February 2008, he returned home to Granite Bay. Like many soldiers whove spent time in a war zone, he had trouble adjusting to civilian life. He battled depression, anxiety and other symptoms of post-traumatic
stress disorder. To the family and friends around him, he appeared to be coping with these difficulties. Peters was honorably discharged and returned home to Arkansas in 2009. He, too, found the transition from war zone to civilian life difficult. Then, in June, Peters received a phone call from California. Hogue, his Army buddy, had committed suicide. At first I didnt believe it, Peters recalled via telephone from Arkansas. I thought it was one of Trevors jokes. I hung up. It was no joke. Hogue had hanged himself in the backyard of his childhood home, adding his life to the rising tide of suicide among active duty and recently discharged military personnel. Peters traveled to California to attend the funeral
with Hogues family and friends. One of those friends was Beth Timoney. Shed only known Hogue since hed returned from Iraq, but she was close with Hogues younger sister, Tracey. Peters didnt really know about Beth, but Beth knew all about him, thanks to the many humorous stories Hogue had related about their antics in Iraq. The pair clicked, and six months later, Timoney moved to Arkansas and married Peters. I knew all about Heath, Beth explained. We met there (at the funeral), and through the power of Facebook, I moved here. At the time, Peters was still battling his own PTSDrelated demons: anxiety, depression, alcohol abuse. He had no such issues while serving in Iraq. I think that at the time,

you dont realize its affecting you negatively, he said. You are around a large group of people, who are all going through exactly the same thing. I moved back home, and all of a sudden, I was the only guy. Marriage did not make the problems go away. By the end of last year, Peters says he was well on his way to becoming an angry, bitter veteran. Which I found quite endearing, Beth added sarcastically. Then, like many people do around New Years, they went on a health kick. Theyd heard about the popular CrossFit training regime, and joined up at their local gym at the beginning of this year. CrossFit is not for the faint of heart. Its a challenging program that includes cardiovascular training, weightlifting and old-school exercises such as rope climbing and carrying 100-pound bags of sand. Camaraderie, within the group and between training partners, is essential. The couple had participated in the program for a month when Peters began noticing the changes. I began to notice all of my old nervous tics were gone, he said. Before, I couldnt stand in front of a window at night. Now I can drive down the street without worrying about roadside bombs. Ive also noticed that Im a lot less mean. The physical and mental changes were so rapid and dramatic, Peters couldnt help thinking that participation in the CrossFit program might have saved Trevor Hogues life. It wasnt just the strenuous exercise regime. It was the camaraderie, the opportunity

to become part of a group again, to interact with other human beings. There was no question in Peters mind that just about any veteran could benefit from participating in CrossFit. The problem is, CrossFit is relatively expensive, with fees as high as $300 per month, well beyond the reach of the average veteran who has just returned home from overseas. So Heath and Beth came up with an idea: Why not create a charity to raise money for veterans to purchase CrossFit memberships? Which is exactly what they did. Their nonprofit charity, Johnny America Clothing, sells T-shirts featuring the Johnny America logo, and the proceeds go to providing CrossFit memberships to veterans. They raised the initial $3,000 of seed money via startsomegood.com, a website similar to Kickstarter, and in August signed up their first veteran, a friend and former Marine who had expressed interest in the program. Heath and Beth Peters understand CrossFit isnt for everyone. They hold no illusions that its a magical cure for PTSD. But if they can help improve the life of just one veteran, the effort is worth it.
Beth and Heath Peters started a charity to raise money to pay for veterans to join CrossFit.

The Womens Scholarship Foundation was representing the Miss Klamath County Board and they advertised, Want us to pay for college? It sounded appealing. After researching the organization a little more, she decided to get involved. Her parents, Steve and Patti Cook, could not be more proud. Allison is getting through school via a combination of family support, scholarships and work, Patti Cook said. She thought this (pageant) could be a great opportunity to help us pay for her studies, and so far, its really paid off!

Allison Cooks first competition was April 28, 2012, in Klamath Falls, Ore. She won the title of Miss City of Sunshine 2012, which earned her the opportunity to compete in Miss Oregon 2012. She won fourth runnerup in that pageant and competed again this June. Allison not only won the crown, she advanced to the Miss America finals to be held Sept. 15 in Atlantic City, N.J. To date, Allison has won more than $32,000 in scholarships from the Miss America Organization. This was her idea and we are incredibly proud and constantly amazed by everything she does, Patti Cook said. According to the Miss America website, the pageant program provides a forum for todays young women to express their viewpoints, talents and accomplishments to audiences during the tele-
cast and to the public at large during the ensuing year. Most of the 52 contestants have either received, or are in the process of earning, college or postgraduate degrees, and apply Miss America scholarships to further their educations. It is such a huge blessing to have the rest of my college paid for, Allison Cook said. I am very fortunate to have the backing of such a wonderful organization full of donors that are willing to invest in my future. Surrounded by women whove competed in pageants their entire lives, she has been impressed by the amount of support shes received. After all, this is only her second year in the industry. Pageantry in Oregon is nothing like I would assume a Texas competition would be, she said. In Texas, and other southern states, women are born
and bred to be titleholders This was her idea and therefore their environment can come across and we are incredibly as cut-throat and catty. In proud and constantly Oregon, on the other hand, most of the local amazed by titleholders get involved everything she does. to earn more scholarships or to make a difference in Patti Cook, mother their community.

Go For The Beer, Stay For The Food

BY TOBY LEWIS
If ever there was a beverage seemingly as old as time itself, it would have to be beer. Historians have traced the roots of brewing back thousands of years to ancient African, Sumerian and Egyptian tribes. Today, the artistry of beer making continues to evolve, and we beer drinkers continue to responsibly enjoy the fruits of the craft beer-makers labor. As the restaurant industry continues a trend toward fresh, locally sourced ingredients for food, beer consumers have also followed suit. The success of many local craft
breweries that have sprung up in Placer County in recent years is evidence of this shift. Im talking about the Roseville Brewing Company, Loomis Basin Brewery, Knee Deep in Lincoln, the Auburn Alehouse, Lockdown Brewing Company in Folsom and many, many others. At the center of it all sits Final Gravity Taproom and Bottleshop on the border of Roseville and Granite Bay. Hidden in plain sight in a strip mall off Sierra College Boulevard, Final Gravity has been serving up local craft brews from Northern California, Oregon, San Diego and beyond for a little more than two years. The taproom and bottle shop always has 21 different beers on tap, only purchasing one keg of each variety at a time, and also
FINAL GRAVITY TAPROOM AND BOTTLESHOP

What: Craft beer, wine, food; 21 and over only. Serving food by La Huaca. Hours: 3-11 p.m. Monday through Friday, noon to midnight Thursday through Saturday, noon to 8 p.m. Sunday Where: 9205 Sierra College Blvd., Roseville Info: (916) 782-1166; www.finalgravitybeer.com
features more than 200 bottles available to drink onsite or to go. We like to showcase a lot of local beers on tap, owner Amy Ruthnick told me on a recent visit. With only getting one keg at a time, theres always something new and seasonal coming out. That keeps it interesting.
Until recently, Final Gravity only served beer and wine, along with a limited food menu. With no deep fryer or grill to speak of, the restaurant has been getting by only serving nachos, chips and salsa, vegetable plates with dipping sauce and the like. All that changed when La Huaca Peruvian Cuisine, just a few doors down from the taproom, partnered with Final Gravity to create a unique dining concept. You might remember I wrote a review of La Huaca back in March, and I had nothing but positive things to say about the cuisine. Indeed, I thought (and still think) it is one of the hottest new restaurants around, serving up fresh cuisine that is thoughtful, unique and very delicious. So when I heard about this new partnership and special
menu with Final Gravity, I had to come in and give it a try. I would hardly call it dining in the traditional sense when it comes to enjoying a flight of beer tastes or a pint at Final Gravity and ordering from the La Huaca menu. You go in, find a seat at the bar or grab a table with some friends and a server will bring you an assortment of menus, including the La Huaca menu. You then call over to La Huaca (on your own phone) and place the order. A server from La Huaca will bring your food and close your tab out for you. The whole process is pretty low-key and a bit unconventional. But it makes total sense. When you have one of the best restaurants around situ-
ated a few doors down from some of the best beers in town, why not combine the two? Its a no-brainer. Its great because some of the ingredients that they have over there pair really well with the beers that I have on tap, Ruthnick told me. It helps me because I think that I dont have to expand my food menu much more. On my visit, I posted up to the bar and took a survey of the many menus presented to me. The first order of business was, of course, beer. And there were plenty to choose from. There was a Saison (French farmhouse ale) or barrel-aged brown ale from Berryessa Brewing Company in Winters, a
mandarin-wheat ale from Loomis Basin Brewery and a barrel-aged barleywine from Moylans in Novato, among many others. The menu mentions each beer, where its from, the brewery that made it, alcohol percentage, size of the pour and price. I opted for an India Pale Ale by Ol Republic Brewery in Nevada City. I next explored La Huacas menu. There are items you would expect to see on a beer bar menu, such as chicken fingers and fried calamari, but these, I assumed, would be done with Peruvian flair. I was happily surprised with the cost of each item, none of which carried a higher price tag than $5.50. This also led me to believe the portion sizes would be quite small, and it turned out I was right. I decided to try the yuccas mozzarella ($4) fried balls made up of cassava root and mozzarella cheese, breaded and served with a light dipping sauce. This was my favorite
dish and paired quite well with my India Pale Ale. I also tried the anticuchos ($5.50), which turned out to be similar to a beef kebab, grilled and served with a Peruvian anticuchera sauce. The causa de camarones ($5.50) were Peruvian yellow mashed potatoes with lime juice, cilantro, yellow peppers and shrimp, served slightly chilled. This was the second time I tried this dish, and it was just as good as I remembered. I also decided to try the chicken wings ($4). While they may not have been the best chicken wings I have ever tasted, they still were just as messy as youd expect and paired well with my beer. The presentation of the food is what I found most surprising, as it was even less formal than the process in which you go about ordering it. Each dish is served in a small, paper bowl with a thin paper lining, almost as if it is coming directly from a Peruvian food truck parked out front. The staff at Final Gravity
kindly offered me a ceramic plate and some proper silverware to enjoy my food. Overall, if you are looking for an unconventional dining experience and you love great craft beer paired well with fresh, creative and quality cuisine in a no-frills, laid-back environment, I highly recommend this place. Final Gravity is not without its own culinary merits. The lack of a proper kitchen hasnt kept the taproom from getting creative with its food menu. Final Gravity has also partnered with Hawks Restaurant in Granite Bay, which is preparing a homemade barbecue pulled pork sandwich. Tacos, hummus with redpepper pesto and a charcuterie and cheese plate are also available. Final Gravity isnt a familyfriendly place, since it is only open for those aged 21 and over and is legally licensed as a bar and not a restaurant. My advice: Go for the beer and have an amazing snack while youre there.

Music To My Ears
El Pollo de Oro launches mariachi night
he roots of mariachi music rang over Californias hills through violins, guitars, harps and trumpets long before the golden glitter boom of 1849. As music for special occasions, mariachi has continued to honor the cultural collision between European style and the indigenous folk traditions of Mexico. Now, El Pollo de Oro in Granite Bay is elevating its ambiance with the colorful shades of that history. Every Thursday, from 6-9 p.m., is mariachi night at the restaurant at 8657 Auburn Folsom Road. Now celebrating its third year, El Pollo de Oro is known for its marinated chicken on the bone an all-night

blimp-sized burritos are also popular with customers. Tortilla chips at El Pollo de Oro are served in the red, white and green colors of the Mexican flag, and complemented with a moist, tangy salsa stirred with perfect textures. For El Pollo de Oros owner, Luz Hurtado, having the right menu is just the first piece of creating a good dining vibe. Hurtado recently began touring other Mexican restaurants in the region that host live mariachi music to identify bands to book at her own eatery. Luz took her time and was able to find musicians we feel are good for the restaurant, said Gabby Diaz, head server at El Pollo de Oro. We want to see if its something that enhances the dining experience for our customers.

New care center comes to Granite Bay
BY SCOTT THOMAS ANDERSON
hen someones experiencing pain or discomfort, the last things they want to deal with are appointment conflicts and a labyrinth of dizzying referral policies. Veteran doctor Salah Sherif says he plans to offer a smoother alternative with his new Urgent MD facility in Granite Bay. Sherif is an internal medicine specialist who did his residency in Atlanta. Hes also a board-certified emergency medicine physician. With more than 20 years of experience under his lab coat, hes

ANNE STOKES GRANITE BAY VIEW
now setting his sights on bringing his knowledge to Granite Bay. Sherifs new urgent care center has been in the works for 18 months, and opened its doors at 9221 Sierra College Boulevard with a grand opening celebration Aug. 23. Urgent MD focuses on pediatrics, geriatrics and general age patients. Kirk Taber, a
spokesman for the facility, says it is essentially a one-stop, allencompassing center for sudden medical issues. The big selling point is that patients can drop by for treatment without appointments or referrals: They will be seen by the staff on a first-come, first-served basis. The center will also have Xray and diagnostic equipment
at the center, as well as a full pharmacy. Taber sees Urgent MD as a quick and easy way to help patients with sudden seasonal illness, infections, pneumonia, minor trauma, lacerations, tetanus shots and most vaccinations. People may think of south Placer County as an affluent community thats kind of a
medical hub. I think you can make an argument that its been somewhat underserved when it comes to simple urgent care that you can access right away without an appointment, Taber said. Between blood tests and the pharmacy, this is pretty much everything under one roof with no appointment necessary. Urgent MD will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week, and accepts most forms of medical insurance. Given its proximity to Granite Bay, Oakmont and Del Oro high schools, the center is also offering backto-school physicals and sportsrelated physicals. Granite Bay and east Roseville just dont have a facility like this, Sherif said. So Im very excited to be opening one to provide those services. Given my background in internal medicine and emergency care, I think its going to be a really good fit. Well do everything we can to be there for the community. For more information, call (423) 596-0394.
Recipe of the Month...Stuffed & Skinny Potato Skins

Football season is here! Time to get your game on. Try this favorite crowd-pleasing dish but with a healthy twist; its lower in carbohydrates without sacrificing taste. Its not only for football season - serve it up for dinner with a salad any day of the week.
INGREDIENTS:
4 large Russet potatoes or 8 small potatoes 1.5 lbs lean ground beef, 4% fat 2 cups 2% reduced fat cheddar cheese One bunch green onions 8 slices thick-cut bacon All purpose beef seasoning Light sour cream Salt and pepper
Makes 8 Servings
Nutritional Analysis: With meat, each serving contains approximately 30 grams of protein, 22 grams of net carbs and 12 grams of fat.
PREPARATION:
Wash and dry the potatoes, rub with oil, sprinkle with salt, cover with aluminum foil and bake in oven at 450 degrees for at least one hour, less for the small potatoes. There are done when you can squeeze the potato a little and it gives. Remove potatoes from oven, remove foil and let cool. While potatoes are cooling, cook the beef in a skillet with beef seasoning, salt and pepper until done. Transfer to a mixing bowl; add one cup of the cheese and half of the green onions. Toss. While the beef is cooking, place the bacon, 4 at a time, covered in the microwave and cook on high for about 5 minutes (depending on your microwave). I like to layer the bacon between 3 pieces of paper towels on a plate to absorb the grease when cooking. You want the bacon to be well cooked and slightly crispy. Chop the bacon in to small pieces. Add half the bacon pieces to the meat and cheese mixture. When potatoes have cooled, cut them in half on the long end and hallow out (as seen in picture), taking out as much potato as possible but leaving the skin. Place them in a baking dish and fill each potato bowl with the meat mixture. Sprinkle the remainder of cheese, green onions, and bacon on top. Bake in oven for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. For the last 5 minutes, turn the oven to broil and brown the top. Serve warm with an optional dollop of sour cream. Change it up: Use any kind of meat you like. Want just an appetizer or side dish? Dont add the ground beef. Add some broccoli or other vegetable to the dish.

Skip Albano is back for another run with the Grizzlies

BY BILL POINDEXTER
his wouldnt be an ideal situation for many coaches to be in, replacing the only head coach a high school has known since it opened in the 1990s, a man who led the football program to five Sac-Joaquin Section championships and stepped down all of two months ago after winning a Northern California Division I title in its inaugural year and the schools first CIF state crown. But the Granite Bay community has opened its arms to James Skip Albano, who takes over as head coach for Ernie Cooper. Im just amazed at the amount of support from the parents, the players, the community, the school, he said. Of course, Albano didnt exactly have to ask how to get to the stadium when he returned to the campus. His 33-year coaching career includes six years with the Grizzlies, most recently as an offensive assistant/receivers/fly backs coach in 2011, when Granite Bay won its first of back-toback section banners. He also was the receivers/fly backs coach in 2000 and 2001, offensive coordinator in 2002, linebackers coach in 2008, and he served as co-head coach /offensive coordinator for the JV team in 2003. Granite Bay won the Division II section title in 2000. The night before his first practice as head coach, Albano said he couldnt sleep. He had a plan in place, coaches in place. But still
Skip Albano is back in Granite Bay colors, having succeeded Ernie Cooper as head coach. Albano spent six seasons with the Grizzlies, most recently as an offensive assistant in 2011.

interest from UCLA all the way to LSU. Albanos children attended Granite Bay. Son Chris was an all-league tight end. Hes a program guy, said dad, adding his job is to keep the system going. This is like a little college program here. So the Grizzlies are looking forward, with Albano walking point. Thats our whole theme, he said. Granite Bay is taking this one practice at a time. Practice on Aug. 12, opening day for everyone in the section, was held as dusk turned to dark. The weather was as calm as Albanos demeanor. Thats one noticeable difference in Albano, who quietly hums along, and Cooper, whose motor ran on high-octane fuel.

Nine local pilgrims journey to Brazil for World Youth Day

massive crowd descended on Copacabana Beach on July 28 as 3.5 million young adults from 180 countries gathered in Brazil for World Youth Day to celebrate Catholic Mass with Pope Francis. Among the crowd were nine pilgrims from St. Joseph Marello parish, who traveled from Granite Bay to Rio de Janeiro in the local churchs inaugural World Youth Day pilgrimage. We had one idea of what was going to happen, said Stephanie Kasel, 23. And when we got there it was something completely different. The pilgrimage began one week before World Youth Day in So Paulo, Brazils largest city. There, the pilgrims began a week of missionary work, which included visiting preparatory schools and

blessing homes in the poorer areas of the city. I think the idea was that we were supposed to go put a smile on their faces, but I think they put the biggest smile on our faces, Kasel said. The group next headed to Rio de Janeiro, where the main festivities of World Youth Day took place. Since its creation in 1985, the central aim of the special day, held every two or three years in a different nation, has been to unite young adults in
the presence of the pope. Though there were a number of activities offered during the weeklong celebration, the main attraction was the appearance of Pope Francis. Yet, between the massive crowd and the language barrier the pope spoke only Portuguese the pilgrims found it difficult to connect with Pope Francis, a struggle ultimately underscoring the true power of faith. On the final morning of World Youth Day, as the
24
pope presided over Mass, the pilgrims discovered their shared Catholic faith was a language in and of itself. Everyone can say hallelujah in the same language, said Christine Zavesky, 20. Saying hallelujah together with 4 million other people was a really cool experience. For the young adults, this overwhelming sense of unity was particularly meaningful. Dillon Root, 20, a student at Sonoma State University, and Zavesky, a student at the University of California at Berkeley, both admitted to feeling alone in their Catholic faith while at college.
To see how many great people are Catholic out in the world reinvigorates your faith. It just reminds you that (you) are not crazy for still practicing this, Zavesky said. Because there are a lot of great people out there who are Catholic. In the wake of their trip, the pilgrims hope to share this renewed appreciation of their faith with their peers. Some, like Root, intend to do this by openly sharing

their faith with those around them. Others are seeking more direct involvement in the church. Prior to the trip, Kasel had been offered the position as youth minister for the parishs Life Teen youth group. In Brazil, she prayed frequently for guidance, and ultimately decided to accept the position. As a part of her new responsibilities, she will select the pilgrims for the next World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland, in 2016. No matter how they choose to spread the sentiments of World Youth Day, the pilgrims understand that although they have left Brazil, their pilgrimage is far from over. (The trip) was a fun piece of (our spiritual journey), Zavesky said. It was a really cool and profound piece of it, but it was just one piece of the entire puzzle that is faith.

Project Lead the Way summer camp prepares young girls for STEM jobs
BY SENA CHRISTIAN
Leading the Way
Wait one second. Annika Krein, a sixthgrader at Loomis Basin Charter School, needs to know a vital piece of information before she and her partner can proceed with their attempts to build a solar car and win in the subsequent race: Where exactly on the Granite Bay High School campus will the competition occur on this sunny July day? Whoa, back the bus up! exclaims teacher Bob Bachmeier. Thats a really great question. She wants to know where were going to race them. Knowing the race route means Annika can predict the location of the sun and figure out how to position the solar panel on the wooden car. Once Bachmeier has designated the starting point, Annika and her nine young peers set to work building their car as part of a weeklong summer camp sponsored by Project Lead the Way to encourage interest in science, technology, engi-

neering and mathematics, more commonly known as STEM. Through the support of the University of California at Davis, five of these camps were held this summer, including those in Granite Bay, Roseville, Colfax, Chico and two in Folsom. They cost money, but scholarships were available, and no student was denied access. school, and is aimed at girls. Despite positive trends in the increased participation and success of girls in STEM classes in high school, far fewer young women than men enter college intending to major in a STEM field. In the American workforce, women remain underrepresented as chemical and material engineers, environmental scientists and geoscientists, computer scientists, computer programmers, computer engineers, civil engineers, electrical engineers and mechanical
Focus On STEM Education

The Project Lead the Way camp is open to students entering middle
engineers. The trend is that girls arent as engaged in science, technology, engineering and mathematic subjects and this (camp) is to get more girls engaged and get them engaged at a younger age, said Ashleigh Stayton, communications manager with NextEd. NextEd is a nonprofit that runs the Sacramento regions Project Lead the Way, which specializes in STEM education. NextEds mission is to advance programs and policies that prepare students for success in the next economy, and careers in STEM fields have been identified as critical to this goal. Last year, the U.S. Department of Education awarded $150 million in grants through its Investment in Innovation program (i3) to organizations exploring advancements in education, and $5 million in grants went to NextEd to study the effectiveness of Project Lead the Way teaching methods in the classroom. Forty middle and high schools in 18 districts are part of that study, including the Roseville Joint Union High School District. The grant funds new technology, curriculum supplies and teacher

training, and sustains computer labs and engineering materials. The kids in the summer camp were in a Project Lead the Way-supported classroom at Granite Bay High School, which has a computer lab with industry-grade software. During camp, the students used Autodesk Inventor 3D modeling software to design, build and test a rocket for maximum altitude and a perfect landing. Its pretty tough (software), but its good to get them exposure to the real world, said NextEd Director of Educational Innovation Linda Christopher.

Girls Harder On Themselves

The campers also got a peek at the real world through volunteer speakers with Women in Technology International, a group founded in 1989 to advance women working in all sectors of technology. While in school, girls are historically less likely than boys to enroll in classes such as physics, although thats beginning to change. Female high school graduates are now earning higher grades, on average, in math and science, than their male peers, according to a report by the American Association of University Women. But these females arent as likely to pursue STEM majors in college or enter related career paths. Part of the hesitation involves continued gender stereotypes and biases, social and environmental factors that shape interest and the climate of college and university science and engineering departments, according to the AAUW report. The group also found that girls are harder on themselves when assessing their abilities in male fields like science and math. Its not that girls cant do it, its that they wont do it, Christopher said, adding that some girls get talked out of pursuing STEM jobs and directed toward professions perceived to be more nurturing. Stephanie Siau, 11, who attends Loomis Basin Charter
School, said she doesnt yet know what career shell pursue, but she enjoyed the activities at STEM camp. Its exploring what careers that are out there that you can do later on, and get a start on, she said. Stephanies favorite activity three days into camp: making a catapult out of a mousetrap and launching marshmallow missiles. The kids also created a spacecraft for landing an eggstronaut safely, made solar chargers for iPods and crafted roller coasters out of construction paper. One of their big activities was getting to take old computers completely apart, said Bachmeier, a former mechanical engineer at Lawrence Livermore Lab and retired teacher. Then is when education happens, Bachmeier said, as the kids got to work on their next project. When the teacher shuts up, and the students do.

She back-combed the top back section, curled the ends and twisted hair from the front around the back. To finish, she curled a few wisps of hair around Morgans face. Client Kelsey Wilson, at right, learned different options for styling her short hair thanks to Brockway stylist Brandi Mcmanus. McManus back-combed Wilsons hair to give it a lift at the top. She created a long French braid starting on the left side, which she swept to the right. She twisted the braid to make a bun at the back with loose curls and ends. To add interest, she flat-ironed a wide wisp of long hair on the right and finished the style with both shine spray and hair spray.

Haleigh Pimental was quite pleased with the look crafted by stylist Kim Ellefson, who created a versatile style that can be dressed up or dressed down. Ellefson set Pimentals long hair with a hot-rod curling iron, brushed out the curls and did a light tease on top. She created double braids that are much like half of a French braid on each side and pinned them on the back left side of Pimentals head. She finished with a wave curler and flexiblehold hair spray.
each clients personal style, she said. Our team is educated and excited, Estes said. Each stylist is passionate about being here. The three stylists participating in the session included: Brandi Mcmanus, a stylist for nearly six years who trained at the Paul Mitchell School in Sacramento, and has been with Brockway Granite Bay for more than two years. She enjoys everything about her work, especially the chance to be creative. Kim Ellefson, also trained at Paul Mitchell, has been a stylist for five and a half years and at Brockway for eight months. Before creating a style, Ellefson asks about her clients lifestyle and job to get a sense of what look will be most suited to each individual. Lauren Gerdes, a stylist for more than five years, trained at Frederico Beauty Institute in Natomas and has been with Brockway for two years. When styling hair, she considers what the clients are looking for and how much time they are willing to spend doing their hair each morning. Brockway, which has nine salons in the area, was founded by Helen Brock more than 40 years ago. Shes the mother of current owner, Derek Brock.

2012 to serve clients in Placer, Sacramento, Yolo, El Dorado, Sutter, Amador, Solano, San Joaquin and Yuba counties and assist in helping patients and their loved ones through the journey of death and dying. The hospice process begins when a patient is given a life expectancy of six months or less (other state and federal guidelines must also be met),
and the doctor provides a referral for hospice. The patient chooses where to spend the remainder of life. Medicare covers the cost of hospice. As part of its services, Green Valley covers 13 months of bereavement services for loved ones following the death of the patient. Immediately, an assessment is done to determine how best to serve the family
some people grieving prefer to talk about what theyre going through, while others want only to listen or read literature on the topic. Any adult who feels loss is welcome to attend the support group. At the beginning of each session, Smith will pose the question, How are you feeling now? Participants can then
begin wherever they want, and the conversation will go from there. Sherazee said not dealing with grief and loss can lead a person on a destructive path toward himself and others, and result in substance abuse, pentup anger and other harmful behavior. Its not a healthy way to live life, Sherazee said.

Obesity now defined by American Medical Association as a disease

BY SENA CHRISTIAN
Weighing In On Obesity
n June, the American Medical Association decided to classify obesity as a disease during its annual meeting, formalizing a view long held by experts in the field. Obesity is a public health epidemic, costing nearly $150 billion annually, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. These direct and indirect costs include diagnostic and treatment services, income lost from decreased productivity and restricted activity, and future income lost by premature death. One-third of Americans may be normal weight, but everyone is impacted by the epidemic, as health insurance premiums partially fund other people who are sick. In terms of the affect on business and industry, people who are clinically obese are ill more often and

tend to be less productive. Jennifer Lombardi, a marriage and family therapist who is the executive director of Summit Eating Disorders & Outreach Program in Roseville, calls the American Medical Associations decision long overdue. The decision, she said, reflects a better understanding of peoples complex relationship to food, which she sees firsthand dealing with patients struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and other issues. About 20 percent of Summits clients suffer from binge eating. Misconceptions persist about eat-

ing disorders in general, she said. Just as anorexia is more complicated than simply a person who craves control, binge eating is more than just about a lack of control. A recent study shows that adolescent girls who binge eat have double the risk of becoming obese. Eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, and obesity possess some of the same causes, including genetic factors, a preoccupation with dieting and dissatisfaction with body image. Because of the complex causes involved, there is no quick fix, Lombardi said. In our culture, the sad things is (we want) to find a simplistic answer or solution to a complex problem, Lombardi said. When youre talking about binge eating, you have to slow the process down. Most likely, multiple factors are at play and theres not just one solution.
and environmental factors involved. The disease is far more complicated than simply eating a little less and exercising a little more, Hernried said. Nor is obesity caused from a lack of willpower. Part of what I do is first say, This is not your fault, Hernried said. If it were that simple, we would not be having an obesity epidemic in the U.S.
Combating Obesity
One way to address the epidemic is to start early, and educate children on healthy eating and the importance of active living to reduce their risks of becoming obese. A recently released survey conducted by Field Research Corp. on behalf of Kaiser Permanente found that Americans view obesity as a serious problem among children and teens. The survey also found that most people
Verne Brown underwent gastric bypass surgery and has lost 102 pounds since December.
Complex Causes
While many health professionals support the American Medical Associations classification of obesity, the decision actually opposes the associations own Council on Science and Public Health, which concluded obesity shouldnt be considered a disease. This conclusion was based on several factors, one of the main ones
being that obesity is often determined by a persons Body Mass Index and this is a flawed measure and overly simplistic, according to the group. Obesity is defined as a BMI of 30 or higher. Dr. John Hernried, of the Sutter Weight Management Institute in Roseville, welcomed the AMAs decision, noting it will encourage physicians to take the problem more seriously, and better help their patients as a result. I absolutely applaud that decision, Hernried said. Whats unusual is
the AMA determines something is a disease and Medicare follows that decision, but Medicare has recognized obesity as a disease for 10 years. Medicare has considered obesity a disease since 2004, and the Obesity Society has supported this classification since 2004. The recent AMA decision may result in expanded reimbursements for weight-loss drugs and weight-loss treatment, counseling and surgery. Obesity is a complex chronic, biological disease with genetic, behavioral
believe K-12 schools need to take the lead in combating this epidemic. Field Research Corp. surveyed 2,014 adults from March 5 to April 14, and 78 percent of parents think healthier food in schools will increase academic performance and physical exercise during school will improve achievement. The majority of Americans also showed support for new national school nutrition standards by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that include more fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and less sodium, saturated and trans fats in meals. These survey results underscore the importance of taking action now to improve the environments in which we live, work, learn and play, Raymond J. Baxter, Kaiser senior vice president for Community Benefit, Research and Health Policy,
said in a press release. Kaiser launched a successful walking club at Westfield Galleria at Roseville in 2012 to help people lose weight, lower their blood pressure and reduce their cholesterol. In terms of youth, each year thousands of local students participate in the national Walk to School and Bike to School campaign. This years 17th annual event takes place Wednesday, Oct. 9. Last years Walk to School participation achieved a record high of more than 4,200 events in the United States, according to the website for the National Center for Safe Routes to Schools, a federally funded program established in 2006 to enable and encourage kids to walk and bike to school.

Granite Bay mom Adrienne Paul, whose 4-yearold son Augie is enrolled in the Little Tigers class, has noticed an improvement in her sons physical and emotional well-being since he started practicing martial arts. Hes getting better athletically, like his balance and just some of the strength that hes gained, she said. But hes also getting a lot more self-control. He gets the obvious physical benefits from it, but we dont have to worry about him jumping on kids at school or overreacting and trying to engage anyone in other places.

Schools In Session
ummer has officially ended for students in the Eureka Union School District. Students at Greenhills Elementary in Granite Bay ushered in the new academic year Aug. 15 with an optimism of new things to come: new teachers and classmates, new backpacks and lunch boxes, new horizons! According to Principal Peter Towne, the best way to help young students expand their horizons is through reading. The greatest gift a parent can give to their child is to read to them every night at least a half an hour, Towne said. The more the children hear books, hear things read aloud, the better readers they become, and that transfers to all subject areas.

How Can I Age At Home Safely?

Susan Feldman
ccording to AARP , 82 percent of Americans wish to remain in their homes forever. Its a comfort to age in a place with familiar surroundings, pets and neighbors; for those with vision impairment and dementia, even more so. For some, staying in their home with the help of a caregiver is also more affordable than a retirement community or assisted living. So, how can you or your loved one age at home safely? Here is my advice.

drug testing and liability insurance. Agencies have a variety of caregiver types to suit different personalities.
sure to ask if there is an assessment fee, deposit and cancellation policy. Ask if there are premium rates for nights, weekends and holidays.
Do Your Homework
Before you call an agency or individual, know your care needs. Do you need nonmedical care or might there be medical needs? Companionship or hands-on care? How about special training in Alzheimers, Parkinsons or hospice care? Do you need a bilingual caregiver? Think about the hours you need help and whether live-in or shift work is best. Determine if you need assistance with medication setups/dispensing or want nursing oversight. Be
Who Pays for This?

Most custodial care is privately paid; but many long-term care insurance policies cover in-home care. In reality, hiring a bit of care might preserve a parent-child relationship and keep a senior at home where they want to be. After all, theres no place like home!

Social Security Benefits: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow?

Rashida Lilani
ocial Securitys muchdebated, and sadly much-needed, benefit also happens to be one of the least understood government programs. But before we discuss its benefits and the future, lets first look at some history. The Social Security Act was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935. It was meant to be a social insurance program (as opposed to a social welfare program), and was never intended to fully replace earned income, but to simply promote the work ethic and dignity of workers and their families. Today, Social Security
includes benefits for retired workers age 62 and older; for a disabled worker before full retirement age; for the dependent family members of a retired or disabled worker; for the dependent survivors of a deceased worker; and Medicare, which pays for retired workers age 65 or older, certain disabled persons and their dependents. Workers and their families, except for some public and railroad workers, with at least 40 quarters

of credit, are eligible for at least some benefit. One of the factors ailing the Social Security program is the lack of ongoing adjustments that should have been implemented to account for several changing factors, one of them being longer life spans of retired workers. According to the Social Security Administration, there are currently more than 60 million Americans collecting some sort of retirement, disability or death benefit. It is a pay-as-you-go program, as workers today are paying for the benefits of current retirees. The problem is expected to get worse as longer life spans along with a reduced birth rate will have more people collecting benefits than contributing to the system.

bined Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) Trust Fund was $840 billion in 2012 while total expenses paid from the combined OASDI Trust Fund were $786 billion. The trust as of 2012 had a balance of $2.73 trillion. Hence, there is currently a net excess of funds. If Congress does nothing (highly unlikely), then this trust will be depleted by 2033 and benefits from then on will be reduced by 23 percent. Some fixes have been proposed but one can be assured, the process is going to be contentious to say the least, as Congress will more than likely debate over each option until the 11th hour. Some of the proposed solutions include raising
the ceiling on wages currently subject to payroll tax ($113,700 for 2013), increasing the current payroll tax (currently 6.2 percent paid by employee and an equal amount matched by employer) and increasing normal retirement age. There are also more controversial moves proposed, such as allowing employees to invest their Social Security taxes in their own accounts and reducing benefits for wealthier individuals. But one thing is for certain and agreed upon by all: Something needs to be done, and done relatively soon. Understandably, there is anxiety surrounding the matter of Social Security benefits. Thanks to our friends in the media, it has been deemed all sorts of things, including being completely insolvent to even being compared to a Ponzi scheme. Regardless of the uncertainty facing it, Social Security remains one of the very few lifetime, inflation-adjusted streams of income available to

retirees today. Granted, there are remedies that will have to be implemented for the program to remain sustainable and they will not come without the cost of several, and perhaps even severe, measures. What can you do? First, you should review your Social Security statement carefully for accuracy, especially your earnings information, over the years. This should be done every year, as your statement gets updated, as benefits can erroneously be changed and never detected. Access your statement at www.ssa.gov. While uncertainty of these future benefits can be unnerving and can make planning for the future difficult and challenging, its best to accumulate other savings to offset any shortcomings. Once again, Social Security was meant to supplement ones retirement plan, not be the retirement plan. Uti-
lize tax-favored investment vehicles such as IRAs, Roth IRAs or employer-sponsored plans such as 401(k)s or 403(b)s. In doing so, you will also benefit from the deferral of taxation, if applicable. Stay tuned for a showdown in Congress as they now battle over feasible solutions to the Social Security conundrum until the cows come home.

letter to the editor
Financial Advice Appreciated

Dear Editor,
I recently read Rashida Lilanis article (in the July View), Financial View: Teens Need Money Smarts, and as a local high school student, I found myself agreeing with her. I agree that budgeting is a crucial skill for teens to have. Many of my friends do not understand this concept and end up with no money to spend at the end of the month. While these kinds of money
skills may be taught at Granite Bay High School like Lilani said, many other high schools in the area do not have them. These students must rely solely on their parents and other role models to learn these skills. Thank you for publishing this article. I believe that parents should be more involved in their teens financial life, and this article definitely helps.

challenging workout is an essential part of any fat loss plan. It sculpts your muscles, raises your resting metabolism, whittles down your waist and gives you functional strength and endurance. But you can seriously slow, or even reverse, your results by eating poorly. Theres nothing quite as frustrating as when you work out like a champ and results do not meet your expectations. To prevent frustration, Ive put together the following Three Easy Food Tricks. Why am I calling these tricks? A trick usually implies someone is getting fooled, and, well, in this scenario we are that someone. These tricks will fool your taste buds into thinking youre eating your regular favorites, when youll actually be eating a meal with fewer calories and carbohydrates, and more fiber. This means quicker fat loss and improved results. Sounds fantastic, right? Lets dig right in...
Rice: Theres white rice,
Want Faster Results?

with a tablespoon of olive oil and cook over medium heat for about five minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve vegetable and meat dishes over a bed of cauliflower rice.
Easy Food Trick No. 2:

brown rice, stir-fried rice, sticky rice, wild rice and the list goes on. All of these kinds of rice (yes, even brown rice) are packed with carbs and calories. Thats great if youre a growing child or an athlete, but not so great for someone with a fat loss goal. Rather than give up rice completely, because your veggies and meat will look really lonely on a half-empty plate, lets turn to Easy Food Trick No. 1. Cauliflower rice: Dont be skeptical until you give this food trick a try. To make rice from cauliflower, first wash it and trim the leaves and stems. Chop the cauliflower into small pieces and run those pieces through a food processor with the grating attachment, which results in a rice-like consistency. Place the cauliflower rice in a large skillet
Noodles: Have you ever noticed that when you crave a pasta dish, youre actually just craving the sauce? Noodles alone are bland and unspectacular. The magic, as well as the protein, is in the sauce. Noodles are packed with calories and carbs that inhibit fat loss results. So, rather than just eating a bowl of sauce, try Easy Food Trick No. 2. Zucchini noodles: Again, try this trick before you knock it. Youll be pleas-
antly surprised. Wash a zucchini, and run a vegetable peeler down its sides, creating long, wide noodles. Stop when you reach the inner, seedy part of the zucchini. These raw, zucchini noodles do not require any cooking, simply throw them onto your plate and top with pasta sauce. (Of course, Im assuming that youre not going to use a white, cream-based sauce, but thats an article for another day.)
Bread, buns, tortillas:

Cauliflower rice and zucchini noodles are all fine and dandy for meals prepared at home, but what about meals eaten out? Many restaurant meals
revolve around bread, buns or tortillas. These things are tasty, yet filled with calories and carbs that add to annoying belly rolls. Thats when you turn to Easy Food Trick No. 3. Lettuce wrap: This trick is more popular than the first two, so it may already be familiar to you. How does it work? When ordering your meal be it a sandwich, burger or taco ask that it be wrapped in lettuce instead of bread, a bun or tortilla. If for some reason the restaurant is unable to wrap it in lettuce, ask for the filling to be placed on a pile of greens and eat it with a fork. Try these Three Easy Food Tricks for the next 30 days, and see how
quickly your fat loss results ramp up. Youll be motivated to work out harder and more consistently. The real fat loss benefits from these tricks come when you make this way of eating a part of your lifestyle. It may sound strange or hard at first, but like anything you will grow accustomed to these crunchy and fresh substitutions.

Cultivate A Confident Child

Time and Effort
Building confidence often doesnt happen overnight; it takes work and patience with some children and even more work and patience with others. So, lets look at how to build confidence with your time and effort. To begin with, you must be dedicated. Next, think about how you can model self-confidence. For example, how do you model respect in your family and toward others? What are the ways you demonstrate respect and love that will help your child be more confident? Sometimes, we are all stretched to the limit, but taking time to analyze the efforts will provide insight and better results in the long run. are those who think they can. If your child can name the problem, he can start working toward a solution. fidence.
e all want to provide our children with love, a sound foundation to make good choices and a successful family who works together and expresses love to one another in special ways. We want families that thrive together, providing the opportunity for hope for the future. One gift of a lifetime that parents can give their children to set them
on the right path is to help build your childs self-confidence to Sheri Hitchings face the many situations he will have to deal with throughout life. These opportunities are gifts and parents, of course, are the best givers.
Accept Praise
Take compliments gracefully with a simple Thank you. Honestly give specific praise to others and see what happens.
Talk About It
Get to the bottom of the problem. Focus on it. Even if the child cant get rid of it, he will now have better understanding. The parents role is to make the child accept the feeling and accept himself.
Accept Imperfection
Perfectionism can actually keep you from reaching your goals; smothering you with the overwhelming feeling that something isnt quite perfect. Think about priorities and doing the best you can.
Sheri Hitchings, married for 47 years, has two children and four grandchildren. As an elementary teacher, learning coordinator, principal, GATE director and student teacher supervisor, she has written articles for 25 years.

Inside each of us is that little voice that tells us we are not good enough. Sometimes it makes a child feel sensitive, inferior, ashamed or unworthy.

Touring through Placer Countys farms
Lisa Armstrong offers a taste-testing of Thundering Herds mandarin olive oil.
The Armstrongs aim to connect tourists with the growers behind the food they buy at farm stands, farmers markets or sitting on the plates at some of their favorite local restaurants. This benefits growers, too. Consider how for every dollar spent on produce at the grocery store, the farmer gets a nickel. With farm-to-fork, consumers buy directly from the grower, which means the overhead is lower and the food fresher. The Armstrongs, originally from Indiana and now living in Auburn, prepared us for the friendly folks we would meet on our five-hour journey. The (farmers) look haggard and tired, but they are all smiling, Lisa said. They love what theyre doing.

ometimes, we venture far and wide for exciting life experiences without truly getting to know the hidden treasures present right around us, near the places we live. I know thats often my predicament I love to travel, but dont necessarily partake in exploring my own backyard and, so, with a desire to better understand the area Ive called home for three years now, I signed up for
the Sierra Foothills Farm & Wine Tour through Local Roots, a company founded three years ago by husband-and-wife team Eric and Lisa Armstrong. The couple began with walking food tours in Sacramento before expanding their farm-to-fork emphasis with a tour in the foothills. They also offer a food and wine walking excursion along historic Main Street in Murphys.

SIERRA FOOTHILLS FARM & WINE BUS TOUR

What: Local Roots-organized bus tour through orchards, farms and a vineyard When: 10:15 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, and Sunday, Sept. 15. Where: Five stops, beginning in Newcastle Cost: $69 per person Info: To purchase tickets, call (800) 979-3370 or visit www.local-food-tours.com
Carol Iwasaki, of Twin Peaks Orchards, prepares a tasty treat of peaches, goat cheese, honey and glazed walnuts for visitors of her fruit stand in Newcastle.
Indeed, we would soon learn that Loomis, Penryn and Newcastle collectively acted as the largest producer of stone fruit in the 1930s and 1940s, before blight knocked out trees, highways were built and irrigation water in the central valley meant crops and orchards could be planted on flat land there. But this area possesses a great microclimate for mandarins and remains the No. 1 producer of this fruit in the nation come November and December. I have a dilemma: I want to give you deep insight into this expedition, but I cant tell you too much or you may not check out this tour for yourself. And I really want you to! But heres a peak Our first stop was Thundering Herd Mandarin Farm in Penryn, owned by Rich and Nancy Colwell, two amiable farmers who took us on a leisurely walk around their property. We saw trees that will soon abound with the lands cash crop: scrumptious mandarins. I figured out Im very popular with my family from about Nov. 15 to January, Rich said, smiling. They like me better. He also advised against eating Cuties, which he says are picked green and gassed in a warehouse to become orange: Theyre better than eating a candy bar, but not much. After taste-testing some delectable mandarin-flavored olive oil on tomatoes, we were off to Lincoln to visit Mount Pleasant Farm & Gardens, which had its first harvest in March. The relatively new farm is on land that had lain fallow for 10 years, which means its quite fertile and ready to produce. Their vegetables are completely picked by hand, and farmer Gregg Novotny who was gone on the tour day to go surfing uses cover crops and prohibits chemical pesticides.
Many varieties of jams and jellies are available at Twin Peaks Orchards in Newcastle.
Novotnys plan is to primarily become a community-supported agriculture farm, which means their funds come from selling CSA boxes directly to consumers. Their produce is also in three local farmers markets, and some is donated to the Placer Food Bank. After a yummy lunch at a winery (Ill leave the detail of just what winery that was as a surprise), we headed to Twin Peaks Orchards in Newcastle, which has been operating since 1912. Today, they primarily produce peaches, plums, nectarines, persimmons, apricots and mandarins. We were greeted by Carol Iwasaki, a granddaughter of the orchards founders, who prepared a delicious snack for her visitors. I mean delicious with a capital D, let me tell you! She grilled paradise peaches and topped them with goat cheese, honey and caramelized walnuts. Doesnt get much better than that! Mmmm Where were we? Oh yes, as we chomped away on the juicy peaches, Iwasaki talked about how her grandfather, as a young man living in America, decided to get himself some
property before a law prohibiting immigrants from buying land went into effect, instead of going to Japan to marry his young bride. So, his fiance saved up the money, eventually moved to the United States and arrived at this piece of land in Newcastle. And my grandmothers dream of America was squashed, Iwasaki said. The area was covered with brush and weeds, but little by little they improved the land. Iwasakis grandfather was killed at 39 years old shot in the back of the head standing outside his Ford Model-T, on his property. This was a hate crime, Iwasaki said. Her father, at 13 years old, took over the ranch. Iwasakis grandmother lived until her 90s and never learned English or how to drive a car. But all her children graduated from college. Ive probably told you too much already. But I truly hope youll sign up for a Local Roots tour and experience the bounty of Placer County for yourself.

Triathlete, Filmmaker, Volunteer Whats Next?

BY TOBY LEWIS
t 56 years old, Steve Shugart says hes never felt better in his life. The volunteer, documentary filmmaker, husband and father of three spends most of his days swimming, biking and/or running for several hours on end. On Sept. 22, the Granite Bay resident will swim 2.4 miles, cycle 112 miles and run a full marathon in succession as he competes in the Ironman Lake Tahoe triathlon. Shugart is doing the race to raise funds for Agape International Missions, a nonprofit organization that raises awareness about child sex trafficking.
Are you from Granite Bay?
that was over three years ago. Now we have our documentary, The Pink Room.
So, your documentary is being featured at film festivals across the country?
Yeah, that was the first phase. We have won a lot of awards. It has been amazingly successful. For first-time filmmakers, this is crazy. And we did it on almost no budget at all. Now we are working with PBS. They are actually going to show it on Sept. 9 at 10 p.m. Also, Bayside Church is going to show it again about four or five days later. Our DVD is going to be released in September, as well.
How did you get it in your mind to compete in an Ironman?
four of those, and then Lake Tahoe came around with a full Ironman. I thought, This is the one, even though it is probably going to be one of the toughest Ironmans ever. But I knew I could train for it, because I have course knowledge and that really helps.
You have the course knowledge because you grew up there?
Yeah, I grew up there. Its in my backyard.

What is a typical day like for you?
Weve been in the area since 1983. Im not from here originally; I went to high school in Lake Tahoe.
Tell me how you got involved with Agape International.
We have very good friends that my wife, Janey, used to work with, and we heard they were getting this girl who came over from Cambodia to testify against a pedophile. We didnt really know much about (child sex trafficking) other than its one of those concepts that you almost dont even want to hear about, it is so horrific. We went over to their house for dinner and we met these girls. They were Skypeing with their friends in Cambodia and then you realize, Wow these girls are just like my daughters. But their parents have sold them into sex slavery at ages as young as 4 or 5. Really, our hearts were just changed by that. There were a couple of college kids who graduated from William Jessup and they were planning on doing some sort of film about it. Janey and I had been doing some charity work anyway and so we offered to help. We didnt know anything about the film business at the time, but
It all started about five years ago when my wife did the Wildflower Tria-thlon with Team in Training. I went there and watched the (Half-Ironman distance race 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike, 13.1-mile run) the day before and just thought, This is the most insane thing I have ever seen, I would definitely ne-ver do that. But I decided I wasnt much of a spectator, so I thought maybe the next year I would do the Olympic (distance) course (.75-mile swim, 25-mile bike, 10K run). And for a couple years I did the Olympic, then our coach decided to do the Half Ironman in Boulder. Our daughter was in college out there, so that got us into the Half Ironman. Ive done three or
I have a coach and he does a plan for me. But I dont like schedules much, so Ive got probably the most flexible plan of anybody in
our group. We go down to Sac State and run on the track once a week. And then we do one (or) two open water swims each week. I wasnt much of a swimmer either, so this year I went to a masters class. A few years ago I went to a coach and he described my swimming technique as horizontal drowning (laughs). On Saturdays, we do a brick, which is a bike-and-run interval. My coach mixes it up, so well run three miles, then ride 20 miles, then go back and run three more miles. Then after that, he usually has people do a long run. Its getting up to 17 or 18 miles now. And during the week, Ive got a 90-plus-mile bike ride. It takes up a lot of time.
That all sounds pretty crazy.
It is a lot. But Ive never felt better in my life.

What do you do in the real world?
Im retired from Hewlett Packard, 27 years. I took the early retirement. Ive done some charity work. I remodeled a childrens home down in Sacramento, that was about a year-long project and it was very rewarding. Id never been around children in the foster system, so it was very interesting.
What do you hope to accomplish by doing this race in Lake Tahoe?
Finish it! (laughs) But, you know, two things: Id like to finish it for myself, but Ive also set a goal to be one of the top fundraisers in the Ironman Foundation for Lake Tahoe. All the money is going to (Agape International Missions). Ive put a pretty lofty goal of $100 per mile on the race and Im about a third of the way there now. So, I might not make that, but at least I can spread awareness.
Is there any part of the race you are not looking forward to?
Steve Shugart is preparing for Ironman.

KIM PALAFERRI GRANITE BAY VIEW
At first it was going to be a mass start, but now I heard they are changing that because all the people hitting the water at once at different abilities is a little bit terrifying. People get kicked and punched and it is just hard to get your pace. So, I was worried about that, but it is mainly the run. Ive never run a marathon before and I think that will be my first official distance at marathon length.
After biking 112 miles?
Yeah. I really hope I can run the whole marathon for the first time. People always say, At about mile 20, it all falls apart. And I will have already been out there 12 or 13 hours by mile 20 pushing it pretty hard. So, that is just a whole different level.
