ou cant get away from hearts


during the month of February.
From valentines at the grocery
store to Sees candy to jewelry shops,
hearts are everywhere.
But while youre thinking of a
heart-themed gift for your sweetheart, or valentines for the kids,
theres something else you should be
thinking about. Consider whether or
not your heart is healthy.
According to the Center for Disease
Control, around 600,000 people will
die of heart disease this year. The disease is the leading cause of death for
both men and women.
Thankfully, theres a world-class
heart center right here in Roseville.
Their goal, according to Rick Harrell,
regional lead for Cardiac Services at
Sutter Heart and Vascular Institute, is
for patients to be treated in their own
community.
Receiving first-rate services in a
matter of minutes is crucial to saving
lives when it comes to heart attacks.
The longer it takes for you to get
treatment, the more likely that your
heart muscle will start to die, Harrell
said. We want people to be treated
within 90 minutes of the event, and
we have a comprehensive center that
includes open and closed vascular
surgery, intervention, radiology a
complete cadre of services.
Harrell said Sutters Heart and Vascular Institute is a pilot program
designed to provide state-of-the-art
response to acute heart attacks.
You used to have to go to facilities
outside of Roseville for services, he
said. Only one out of six hospitals in
the state are taking part in this program, and we work with first respon CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

ders right here, training them, supporting them, bringing the American Heart
Association in to the Roseville community, and even training high school
students in how to provide CPR.
In addition, Harrell said the facility draws some of the best doctors to the area, and the center is filled with staff who really care
about the community, community outreach and philanthropy.
One of the facilitys outstanding staff members is Dr. Steve
Peters, who has worked in Sutter Rosevilles Cardiology
department for 15 years, and is thrilled with the care available at the institute.
We have an acute coronary intervention (also known as
angioplasty) that restores blood flow as soon as possible.
When you have a blocked artery, you have to move right away,
Peters said. Were lucky that Sutter is a relatively new facility
and we have a very effective system to get patients from emergency to the catheter unit to cardiac care. And this timely treatment markedly improves patients survival rates.
The institute is ranked among the best in California for treating
heart attacks, but their expertise doesnt stop there.
While 20 percent of Dr. Peters day is focused on acute heart attack
patients, he spends plenty of time with children who were born with heart
defects, as well as with patients who are experiencing irregular heartbeats.
Lucky for us, survival rate from heart attacks has improved in the
past three decades with better medications and arterial stents.
The center offers a full rehabilitation program that includes
exercise, education, research, and more. In all, nearly 200
professionals providing care.
Sutters leadership looked at ways to make care efficient long before most hospitals were thinking that way,
Peters said. And those decisions are now bearing fruit.

observing the procedure, Cath Lab Technician Amber Landsberger and
Cardiology Registered Nurse Kim Newlin. In photo below, Dr. Peters looks
over a patients chart prior to an angiogram procedure.

Q: How do I know if my heart isnt healthy?


Dr. Peters: Warning signs are shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue and passing out.
And fatigue is a tricky symptom. Most women who have heart disease complain of
fatigue, and most women (and men) are fatigued from time to time. When a woman
tells me that shes fatigued, and she just knows something is wrong, I investigate the
cause. I want to see what we may have been missing.
Q: How can I lessen my risk for heart attack?
Dr. Peters: We are living on a three-legged stool, with each leg equally important.
The legs are exercise, nutrition and stress.
Exercise is important. Our bodies were meant to move, and we have to exercise at
least a little every day, not just once in a while.
Nutrition: If youre eating something out of a box, youre slowly killing yourself. Pay
more attention to your food and buy quality. Get rid of unhealthy oils and anything
processed.
Stress comes in many forms. Not sleeping, poor quality food that increases inflammation in the body, and even toxic situations or relationships. If youre in an unhealthy situation emotionally, its like youre smoking a pack of cigarettes every day. And we all
know that a pack of cigarettes a day would be terrible for your health. You have to
weigh if the stress is worth it. I ask my patients, why wait till you have the heart attack
or get cancer before you change the things that make you unhappy? Thats just crazy.

Renowned for TED Talks, Jurassic Park,


Jack Horner talks dinosaurs and genetics
BY ANDREW WESTROPE

Having spent the better part of a lifetime digging


up dinosaurs, legendary paleontologist Jack
Horner is as close as hes ever been to resurrecting
one, and he appeared in Roseville for the first time
in January to share his latest research.
Horner, the lead paleontology consultant on the
Jurassic Park films and the inspiration for one of
their main characters, delivered a series of talks
Jan. 9 to students at John Adams Academy before
summarizing them in a public forum that evening
for a crowd of more than 70 people.
The subject of his presentation, as well as his
most recent book and TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) talk, was how to build a dinosaur.
Horner proceeded to explain his lifelong quest to
make a dinosaur Dont ask me why dispelling
science fiction ideas about the simplicity of cloning
and DNA recovery, which is impossible, and his
attempts to recover soft tissue from tyrannosaur
bones in Montana.
While his team has been able to isolate soft
medullary tissue, blood vessels and even heme (an
iron compound found in blood), Horner said
Jurassic Park takes dramatic license when it suggests that DNA can survive for millions of years.
We have never been able to get even the tiniest
bit of DNA, he said. We know DNA is a huge molecule that comes apart pretty easily.
Horners alternative, then, is atavism activation
reactivating ancestral traits like teeth, fingers and
tails in the DNA of modern birds to make them
resemble dinosaurs. He said birds are technically
dinosaurs anyway, and assured the crowd that scientists havent started trying to make mutant
chickens. Yet. Theyre still working to identify the
genes to do it.
Auburn resident Teresa Nead said Horners presentation certainly piqued her interest.
He gave a lot of information, she said. He was
very knowledgeable and easy to understand. He
made it interesting and fun.
Joe Collins, who works at the school as a teacher
coach and educational consultant, said he was
impressed with Horners ability to translate complex science into a comprehensible presentation.
I was curious to see how a scientist can speak to
an audience of laymen and keep it geared in such a
way that people understand it, he said. How does
he gap that language barrier between the scientific
vocabulary and the vocabulary from the audience?
From a public-speaking standpoint, I found the
talk to be very interesting.

0131GBV009 1/23/2015 8:23 AM Page 9

Horner said his presentations to the students went as well as he


expected, because he
hasnt found a more reliable way of inspiring
children to consider the
possibilities and mysteries of the natural world
than through dinosaurs.
It was great. Everybody had good questions. Thats the main
thing good questions,
he said. Kids love

dinosaurs. I think kids


need to start learning a
lot more biology, and
especially things like
developmental biology
and genetics. Theyre
horrible subjects but
if you can tie dinosaurs
with it, kids will love to
learn genetics. You can
teach some really difficult and mundane sciences by using something that catches their
imagination.

Education and implemented healthy practices make the heart grow stronger, life spans longer,
and life itself fonder, as illustrated by Roseville Sutter Hospitals and the American Heart Associations joint efforts to celebrate February, American Heart Month.
I think the most common misconception is the general lack of awareness ...of the existence and pervasiveness of heart disease in the community. It is much more common than any and all cancers our
number one killer. There is this sense of passive denial. I see this daily in my clinic in patient/spouses/caregivers that until the heart attack or stroke occur, well just assume its all ok and not worry about it, said Dr.
Reetu Sharma, who practices at Sutter Hospital, the only hospital in the area doing cardiac transplants and the first
in the area to implement left ventricular assist device.
Sharma advocates 30 minutes of exercise at least five days a week and ideally, an hour, paired with a diet of vegetables,
fruit and whole grains as fuel to reduce stress on the heart.

According to Sharma, about 50 percent of Americans have one cardinal risk factors: hypertension,
elevated LDL cholesterol and smoking.
Whenever you can show people the impact heart
disease has had on someones life, it seems to have a
greater impact on them. Our volunteers and survivors who offer to tell their stories are the true life
savers as they have a tremendous capability to connect with people on an emotional level and communicate the human aspect of heart disease and how it
relates to them, said Mike Castillo, director of communications and marketing for the American Heart
Associations Sacramento and Central Valley region.
He added that 80 percent of cardiac complications can be prevented with something as simple as
education and lifestyle.
On Saturday, Feb. 7, the American Heart Association will present Love Your Heart Day at the
Roseville Galleria (at the center court next to JC Penney) from noon to 4 p.m.
This is the first year the entity will team up with
the nurses at Sutter Roseville for the Go Red event.
We want to raise awareness of the impact of heart
disease on women because awareness is the first
step to making important changes, said Kim Newlin, a cardiovascular clinical nurse specialist at Sutter.
The American Heart Association has teamed with
Sutter to offer access to patient education and act as
a reliable source of information around heart disease and stroke in addition to raising awareness
through national and local campaigns to fuel the
mission of Sutters heart health clinic.
Attendees will be able to check blood pressure,
cholesterol and glucose levels, advocate for more
women-related research and education and teach
children the value of physical activity and healthy
choices.
Castillo said the American Heart Association will
also be handing out red dress pins to promote Go
Red For Women and Heart Health Month as well as
providing educational information to a Sacramento
region population where 24.9 percent are obese
(according to CDC and UCLAs California Health
Interview Survey).
Newlin said there are a variety of ways to care for
the heart. While some are easier than others, none
are impossible.
She admires how the American Heart Association
is promoting Lifes Simple Seven: get active, control
cholesterol, eat better, manage high blood pressure,
lose weight, reduce blood sugar and stop smoking
the guidelines to prevent stroke, diabetes and cancer.
Sutter also offers a Cardiac Rehab program, she
said.
Newlin also spends time with patients and families attending Sutters heart health clinics monthly
support groups that focus on education, self-management skills and lifestyle changes, which arent
always as difficult or as overwhelming as perceived,
she said.
And when I hear how much weight they have lost
or how long they have quit smoking or what
changes they are making in their diets and in their
families lives, I know that this will have a cascade
effect and impact not only that individual with heart

disease, but their family and friends,


she said.
Heart disease is not just a mans disease, either. One in 3 women die of
heart disease and stroke. Over the past
30 years, more women than men have
died annually from heart disease and
stroke. While women do not always
have the typical heart attack, symptoms like crushing chest pain, they are
subject to indicators like shortness of
breath, nausea, vomiting, jaw and back
pain.
Popular belief incorrectly allows people to assume that youth need not worry about heart disease, though childhood and adolescent lifestyle choices
contribute to risk of heart disease.
Also, since 1984, more women than
men have died each year from heart

disease & stroke, which is why the


American Heart Association created the
Go Red For Women movement to try
and turn the tide and raise awareness
about heart disease in women, said
Castillo, adding that one of the easiest
ways for people to reduce their risk of
heart disease is to start walking more.
He said the American Heart Association plans to raise awareness by
encouraging people to wear red on Feb.
6 (National Wear Red Day) to raise
awareness of heart disease. And yet, the
mission embodies more than sporting
red attire.
Its about making a change and
encouraging your friends and family to
make better lifestyle choices to reduce
the risk of heart disease and stroke,
said Castillo.

tepping onto the path less traveled is not just a journey for the
soul, but also one for the soles
of Sovereign Sandals.
The Granite Bay business is making
a difference for those impacted by
human traffickings injustices.
Ive always been a huge fan of sandals. Back in 2004 I was wanting to create a sandal that embodied a California
vibe or spirit and thinking how I would
make a sandal better, said Granite Bay
High School graduate and founder of
Sovereign Sandals Nick Elcock.
Although the concept originated in
2004 while Elcock was finishing up his
undergraduate degree in economics
and communications at UC Davis, he
spent two years researching sandal
designs.
He and his wife, Cari, also a Granite
Bay High School graduate, decided to
use the business to support Courage
Worldwide after hearing a presentation
on human trafficking at Adventure
Christian Church.
The couple launched the business in
mid-October selling more than 60

14

pairs within the first couple of weeks.


The first check (about 40 to 50 percent
of the first months profit) was mailed
to Courage Worldwide at the end of
October.
Elcock intends on mailing a check to
the non-profit organization at the end
of each month.
The actual percentage of donation
will be finalized as the business gains
momentum and will depend upon
sales trends and cost of materials.
However, the intention is to donate the
highest percentage of profit possible,
Elcock stressed.
His passion for the process of identifying and designing an artisan sandal
that is both comfortable, and fits the
California lifestyle is contagious, said
Justin Caporusso, marketing director of
Sovereign Sandals who describes the
sandals as artisan, compassionate and
comfortable.
Caporusso, who lives in
Roseville, envisions sales
will grow as the year
transitions
into
warmer weather.

Additionally,
the Sovereign
Sandals
founders
expect to provide work for survivors of human trafficking as requested by Courage Worldwide.
That would be phenomenal(to)
have their hands involved here, said
Elcock.
Nothing about launching this business has felt like work. In addition to
the charitable component helping rescue girls from sex trafficking, working
with good friends to build a business
from the ground up has been extremely rewarding and interesting, added
Caporusso.
The spring collection will feature
childrens and toddler-sized sandals as
well as three additional color schemes.
The Limited Edition Release went
to the teams family, friends, and followers. These initial supporters are
being called Sovereign Ambassadors for taking a leap of faith
and supporting Sovereign
Sandals.

While the issue of sex


trafficking is global, and growing, it is
happening at an alarming rate right
here in our own backyard. Your purchase of Sovereign Sandals helps support Courage Worldwides efforts to
provide housing for the victims of this
horrific industry, said Caporuso.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY SCOTT THOMAS ANDERSON


or food lovers unfamiliar with the term rustic fine
dining, the new Cibo 7 is hoping to burn those
words into the regions culinary consciousness.
And its young executive chef is stressing that a skillful
approach doesnt have to fall into the traps of over-thetop elitism.

A crowd pours into Cibo 7s new social hour, which runs Mondays through Fridays from
4 to 7 p.m.

Cibo 7s Executive Chef Christopher Barnum prepares to sear


scallops. Cibo 7 is looking to reinvent the term fine dining,
especially with its seafood-heavy menu inspired by Italian,
Spanish and French cuisine.

16

FEBRUARY 2015 GRANITE BAY VIEW

Cibo 7 opened in Roseville in early December. Its menu is an amalgam of high-end Italian, Spanish and French dishes, and its transporting ambiance reinforces that from one
side of the restaurant to the other. Vintage
brick veneer, 18th Century pastoral paintings
and Castile-style chandeliers gently mingle
with the rooms ceiling plates of aged, handpainted tin.
We wanted an old European feel, said coowner Alan Stevens. We hoped to bring that
kind of energy to it.
Cibo 7s menu is stacked with breads, pasta
and antipasto. Its cast iron house pasta is
quickly becoming popular, augmented with
pomodoro, garlic-chicken sausage, pesto
ricotta and hand-pulled mozzarella. The dish
pops with the moist tenderness of freshly
rolled pasta, with a delicate undertone of herb
traces and clove conjuring.
But for cuisine connoisseurs, the real magic
may be in Cibo 7s ambitious take on seafood.
The ristorante offers Branzino, or Mediterranean white fish, with Del Rio sun choke
Carnaroli risotto and bacon-braised brussels
sprouts.
Another highlight is the bubbling Cioppino,
a mini cauldron of tomato and Fennel broth
chalked with Alaskan king crab legs, fresh

white fish, whole prawns, diver scallops,


clams and Penn Clove mussels.
Steak fans can sink their teeth into an 18 oz.
Masami Rib Eye with smoke cheddar gratin,
pepper creamed Arugula and a special handmade sauce.
For co-owner Chad Lanza, everything happening in the kitchen is designed to get food
devotees excited.
Coming from the Bay Area, there are so
many great restaurants, Lanza noted. There
are three different Michelin-star places in a little town like Los Gatos alone. Yet most of the
restaurants in Roseville and Granite Bay are
chains. So were trying to help break that mold
by offering great quality food at reasonable
prices and thats the whole inspiration.
Lanza has worked with respected California
vintners to come up with Cibo 7s wine list.
Most of its selections are from Napa Valley,
though a few choices hail from Paso Robles
and nearby Amador County.
Cibo 7 is now hosting a social hour from 4 to
7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Emerging
wines on its social hour list include Complicateds Pinot Noir, out of Sonoma County,
with its bottom-brushed blueberry base, chili
tinge and vanilla notes. A red wine thats even

with tobacco undertones and crisp, cinnamon highlights.
The team at Cibo 7 has been watching its
social hour steadily introduce patrons to
the main menu. For Executive Chef
Christopher Barnum, the key to Cibo 7s
future is premium ingredients.
Im really trying to bring in ingredients
that arent just perceived as being the best,
but that actually are the best, Barnum
said. Im getting to know farmers from the
Bay Area to Eureka on a personal level, and
mainly were finding great products grown
right here in Placer County, too.
He added, While I like the concept of
Farm to Fork, we cant commit entirely to
it, because in some cases the ultimate
ingredient is going to be somewhere else.
Were using prosciutto from a family farm
in Parma, Italy; were using heirloom saffrons from Spain; we can try to get most of
our seafood from the California coast, but
we have to get diver scallops flown in daily
from Maine. So, while a lot of ingredients
are coming from Laughing Duck Farms in
Newcastle, or Placer mandarin growers, we
call it rustic fine dining meaning everything is sourced at the highest level.
Barnum developed his love for cuttingedge cooking chops while touring the
world in his early 20s with a rock band.
Getting married and settling down, he realized the music scene didnt have a stable
enough future, but he also realized that
hed come to love the different dishes from
cultures around the globe. He enrolled in
the International Culinary Institute before
engaging in a journeymans tour of
kitchens in Auburn.
Now situated in a restaurant with a bold
concept, Barnums on a one-man mission
to change local perceptions around a term
he knows carries unfortunate baggage.
Generally, there can be a lot of pretention that goes with the platform of fine dining, he said. I know the term itself can
make people run the other way. But all fine
dining really means is an establishment
that is trying to do the very best. Im hoping when people come in, and see what
theyre getting, and that everything is made
here and made from scratch with the top
ingredients, theyll approach the menu
and the whole term of fine dining without
all of the exterior stuff.
Prepping a pan, he offered one more
insight: It matters to me, because Ive
always loved fine dining. Im a food fan
before Im a chef.

Granite Bayarea families
deal with
a major
tragedy.

STORY AND PHOTOS


BY JORDEN P. HALES

ommunity members hosted fundraisers and candlelight vigils last


month for three young adults, who
were killed Jan. 10 when a wrong-way driver
slammed into their vehicle on Interstate 80.
Matt Azar, 20, was driving the 1994 Buick
Regal that was struck head-on by a suspected drunk driver. Azar, along with his passengers, Kendra Langham and Mathew
Beardwitt, both 18, were pronounced dead
at the scene. All had lived in Granite Bay.
Within days after the tragic deaths,
friends and former co-workers at the Granite Bay Chick-fil-A hosted a fundraiser for
the victims families.
During the four-hour event, patrons made
donations while the establishment contributed all revenue to support the cause.
Families of the three victims attended.
The event, promoted by Chick-fil-A
employees and on Facebook, garnered
hundreds of customers, as drive-through
and cash register lines wrapped around the
exterior of the business and throughout the
shopping centers parking lot.
Local businesses agreed to make donations, with at least one agreeing to match
the amount generated by the fundraiser.
Gage Bergstrom, shift manager at Chickfil-A, had followed and reported a 2006
Chrysler 300, the driver of which was later
found to be 24-year-old Roseville resident
Aaron Jordon Caudillo. Bergstrom called to
report Caudillo as a suspected drunken
driver.
The California Highway Patrol has stated
that drugs and/or alcohol may have been
involved, but test results have not been made
public. Caudillo, who suffered major injuries

22

FEBRUARY 2015 GRANITE BAY VIEW

during the accident, was hospitalized.


I came in the next day and said, We
need to do this (fundraiser), mostly
because I reported the driver, Bergstrom
said. I saw them that night before it happened, and I saw the accident after it happened. It was a weird day.
Nearly every staff member at the Granite
Bay Chick-fil-A store had known Azar. Several had met Langham through her sister,
who also worked for Chick-fil-A.
My friendship was with Matt Azar
because he used to work here, said Timmy
James, kitchen director. I knew him really
well and was able to get to know him more
outside of work, too. Kendra I had met a few
times from her sister.
James said that each of the families had
spoken with Chick-fil-A staff members,
expressing that they really appreciated
them organizing the fundraiser.
We had to get permission from all three
families first, Bergstrom explained. We
called each family. We had to hunt down
Matt Azars moms number, but once we did
that, we got it going.
Bergstrom said there was no trepidation
on the organizations behalf.
Each store is run by its one owner, he
said. We have to be careful what we put
Chick-fil-As logo on. Right now, this is a
good thing. Were helping support a community family and thats what Chick-fil-A is
all about, so it was no problem getting
Chick-fil-As name on it.
Chick-fil-A did not disclose how many
patrons it served or how much money it
raised, but the Roseville location on Pleasant Grove Boulevard shared numbers from

a similar event with Granite Bay staff.


Pleasant Grove told us they did this once
before and that was just for one family,
Bergstrom said. They had, in one hour,
$3,000 come in; the second hour, $4,000;
and one after that, $3,000.
Bergstrom said that a typical weekday
evening hour would generate about $800 in
revenue.
The event was short, but in that short
period of time, so many people were able to
come, see the families and pay their
respects, said franchise owner Wade Roepke. It was really, really cool to be able to see
the community come out and support the
families like that.
On Saturday, Jan. 17, friends and families
gathered for a candlelight memorial service
in El Dorado Hills. A series of candles
spelling out the first initials of the young
adults were the centerpiece of the evenings
ceremonies.
Dutch Bros. Granite Bay donated proceeds from all sales on Monday, Jan. 19 to
support the families of the young adults.
Our customers are our family. Matt was
someone we all got to know. He had been
coming through since day one, said Mattie
Place, Dutch Bros. Granite Bay owner. We
were all saddened by this tragedy and know
that all we can do is support these families
as they move forward.
While Azar had been a daily customer of
Dutch Bros., Langham and Beardwitt had
worked across the street at Taco Bell.
This is what we can do to help their families and our Dutch family, Place said.

Jennifer Cobet, a 2003 Granite Bay High
School graduate, isnt walking in other peoples
shoes.
Rather, shes on a 30,000-mile quest to talk
with people about their connection to nature.
Throughout the four-month-long journey
following the Pan American Highway from
Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina, Cobet
is traveling with Jacob Ries. Originally, there were
four travelers, but Kevin Trimm (a 2011 Del Oro High
graduate) returned home in December. Aamon
Jaeger had to drop out just before the adventure
launched.
While in Granite Bay last October, Cobet and Ries,
residents of northwest Montana, shared their vision
for the journey. Their purpose, 28-year-old Ries
explained, is to film conversations with people living
along the transcontinental highway to demonstrate
the different ways of lifeto motivate the younger
people to follow their hearts desire.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their


shoes. That way when you criticize
them, you are a mile away from them
and you have their shoes.

According to Cobet, the Jack Kerouac-style documentary will focus on celebrating humanity, linking
North and South America symbolically and giving a
voice to the true human spirit.
It is time for all of humanity to step up and into
our roles so we may co-create a better world for the
many generations to come in every moment, every
breath, and every day as we move forward, Ries
added. We need to understand it is only through our
misunderstanding that we are separated and confused. I see it is time for the many tribes on this lovely
planet to gather once again under the banner of the
Earth.
He and Cobet spent a year planning the adventure
drawing inspiration from Peter Jenkins trek from
New York to Oregon in the 1970s as outlined in his
book, Walk Across America.
(Jenkins) started walking as a way to observe and
witness what was happening (in America, said Ries.
Living in such intimate proximity to nature may
have been the catalyst for the filmmaking project.
Montana is a beautiful, beautiful place, said
Cobet, who moved to the area in 2010, Nature is all
around you.
Ries, who grew up in Minnesota, developed a deep
connection with nature while working at The Garden
of One Thousand Buddhas, an International Peace
Center in western Montana.
The team, traveling in a donated RV, hit the road in
late October with an eye to documenting any calls to
action they encounter as they make their way down
the longest highway on earth.
Since they allotted four or five months to complete the journey, Cobet said, the team has the
flexibility to stay longer in
communities
where

in 2008, Filice has bonded with Ray and her family.


I see Jen as a leader, Shes a risk taker opening up ahead
of all of us, she said. Lisa and I had already decided to support this adventure. This is what is going to be the model for
change on this planet what we have in common. I see
them being totally equipped to plant the seeds for that kind
of positive change.
Ultimately, the documentary will be submitted to the Sundance Film Festival, Cobet acknowledged.
This documentary is an opportunity to see what people
are saying and what theyre doing across both continents,
she said.
Donations to support this adventure can be made
through the non-profit organization, Zachs Project.

starting a dialogue about each persons role in protecting the Earth.

extra help to build a school or another


community project may be needed.
Initially they spent some time working at an
organic farm in Oregon and then watched the
Burnaby Mountain protest in southern British
Columbia in November.
Kinder Morgan, the largest energy infrastructure company in North America, wanted to do
survey test drilling with the intent of building
oil pipelines through the mountain, considered
by residents as a sacred place.
What we witnessed on Burnaby Mountain
was beyond any traditional protest, wrote
Cobet and Ries in December. Instead, it was a
powerful gathering.This was a gathering that
sparked a dialogue about what we are doing to our
land.
The RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police), the
media and Kinder Morgan were caught off guard, not
only by the amount of people who showed up, but
more so by the power of the voices who stood up to
speak. When elderly women, living seemingly normal lives, stand up and cross police lines and get
arrested to expose the injustices taking place, the
world should take notice. When two 11-year-old girls
make the decision to do the same and are escorted
down the mountain by police, we must all take
notice.
And, for the time being at least, Kinder Morgan has
ceased test drilling on the mountain and removed its
equipment, Ries said.
In Cascadia, Ore., the filmmakers approached several residents asking their views on protecting the
earth.
In one interview captured on film, teacher
Kelly Brown Hogan described how her students learn the cycle of life by caring for
chickens and growing vegetables.
Earth gives them every life lesson,
she said. Its a beautiful way for
them to process things. They feed
the worms to the chickens, collect
the eggs, add food scraps to the
compost pile and then they find
worms (in the compost pile).
The team is receiving ongoing support from several
local businesses, including
Bellus Spa in Folsom, which is
owned by former Granite Bay
High School track team
coach Vaso Karras and Specimen Specialists of America
in Roseville.
Annette Filice, vice president at Specimen Specialists
of America, met Cobet
through her mother, Lisa
Ray, owner of the business.

Some
people will
purposely go bald
next month. They
will get the drastic
makeover because
they want to raise
funds to support
research efforts to
find a cure for
childhood
cancer.
Worldwide, a child is diagnosed with cancer every three minutes.
In the U.S. more children die of cancer than
any other disease, said Tamara Coil, marketing coordinator for the Keaton Raphael Memorial (KRM). With less
than 4 percent of the National Cancer Institutes budget directed to
childhood cancer research, KRM and St. Baldricks Foundation fundraising events are vital to continue saving lives against this devastating disease.
Established in 1998 following the death of 5-year-old Keaton Raphael who battled Neuroblastoma for nine months, the non-profit agency serves as a positive

26

FEBRUARY 2015 GRANITE BAY VIEW

living legacy for other


children and families battling
cancer throughout Northern California.
According to Coil, KRM partners each year
with St. Baldricks Foundation to raise funds for childhood cancer research, as well as help families affected by
childhood cancer by providing emotional, educational, and financial support.
Our goal is to reach every family with a child battling cancer and improve
their quality of life and embrace their will to survive, Coil said, adding that their

0131GBV027 1/23/2015 11:07 AM Page 27

vision is to help all children


grow up cancer free.
KRMs St. Baldricks campaign is one of the top four
nationwide, says Coil. (KRM)
has raised more than $507,000
and shaved more than 1,000
heads.
The partnership with St.
Baldricks Foundation was
formed 12 years ago. Each
March the foundation hosts
head shaving events throughout Roseville and Sacramento
at local schools, restaurants and
businesses.
At each event, volunteers
raise funds for cancer research
by obtaining pledges in support
of their decision to go bald.
The concept for the fundraiser started in 2000 with a challenge between two businessmen: John Bender and Enda
McDonnell. Their colleague,
Tim Kenny, challenged the men
to shave their heads as a way of
raising funds to find a cure for
childhood cancer.
Since then, participates
have helped raise more
than $5.2 million.
Last year the St.
Baldricks Foundation
hosted 1,300 events,
which netted more
than $1,000,000 for UC
Davis Cancer Centers
research efforts.
Because of
the partnership
with

KRM and St. Baldricks Foundation, a large portion of the dollars raised through the get
bald events go to UC Davis
Comprehensive Cancer Center
to support research and families affected in our own community, said Coil. KRMs
2014 St. Baldricks
Campaign is one of
the top four nationwide. Each event
each year is unique,
Coil states.

identify families that would
benefit from financial support, Coil added.
Most referrals are for
financial
support,
although they encourage
families to contact them
for educational and
additional resources as
well.
Regardless of the
type of referral, all
families receive a

Hope Chest, which includes a


$500 grant. We are the only
organization that provides cash
in this unique way, said Coil.
In addition to the St.
Baldricks events in March,
there are other local events
hosted throughout the year,
including the Chipping Away
Golf Tournament and Big Day
of Giving Campaign in May,
Funderland Family Event in
June, Go Gold Childhood
Awareness Month and the Third
Annual Kaleidoscope in September.
Donations can be made at
any time of the year on
www.childcancer.org/donate.

Corporate and company giving


options are also available.
Childhood
cancer
has
improved over the years. However, it is still affecting too many
children and families, said
Coil. The support of communities and organizations like
KRM is what will eventually put
an end to this silent killer and
give our children the life they
deserve to live.

raig Lyman and his wife, Dee Dee were at


one time as far removed from owning a
successful feed and pet supply business
as a North Korean citizen is to Internet access.
The Lymans were successful professionals
within the financial and mortgage industry when
the recession reared its ugly head in the latter part
of the last decade. Both had forged successful
careers with Merrill Lynch when out of nowhere,
corporate closed their office.
Undaunted, Craig thought about his options
and the one that stood out among the others was
purchasing a business. He and his family had
moved to Oregon in 2007, but decided after a two
year stay that it was time to return to Northern
California and begin anew.
I started looking for a business to buy and the
only one in the area that caught my eye was
Douglas Feed and Pet Supply, he said.
He set the wheels in motion to acquire
the long-time Granite Bay store on Douglas
Boulevard. Although Lyman was well equipped
to understand the financial aspects of business,
his understanding of livestock and pet supplies
was rather limited. Inventory was a bit of a
challenge for him since the existing store had
more than 6,000 items on the shelves as well as
a diverse product line.
Along with learning what things were and
where they went, I also managed
to learn the difference between
straw and hay, he said with a
chuckle.
Once Craig and Dee Dee
became acclimated to the different lines of feed and supplies,
they set about expanding what
was already a successful small
business.
According to Craig, the store
had done very well over the years and
through expansion and additional marketing,
he intended to increase the bottom line.
We decided to expand all of our lines in
feed and tack and even added apparel to boot,
he said.
The store now offers an array of feed for horses
and cattle along with dog, cat, and bird food.

Named one of the most


charitable small businesses to
the Eureka School District by
the Roseville and Granite Bay
Chamber of Commerce in
2011, Douglas Feed & Supply
owners Craig Lyman, left, and
his wife, Dee Dee continue
their efforts to support local
organizations. They recently
acquired a new kettle corn
trailer, which they will bring
to community events.
Douglas Feed & Pet will share
50 percent of the gross sales
with the host organization.

And the shelves are stocked with highquality organics.


Lyman says the farm-to-fork and
home agriculture trends in the area have
spiked the demand for chicken feed.
People are not only growing their
own vegetables and such, but they are
also harvesting their own eggs as well,
he said.
Craig has also invested in marketing
the business, but like any savvy businessman, he was able to identify the
needs he and his team could fulfill while
effectively branding his business.
He says many of his clientele are
members of Future Farmers of America
(FFA) and 4-H. The youth in these
organizations raise fair animals and,
according to Lyman, that can become
quite expensive.
I was told about kids dropping out of
FFA because of the rising cost of feed
and care for a fair animal and we decided to do something to help, he said.
Since the cost of preparing an animal
for show can exceed $3,000, the store
owners decided to offer a discount
for feed to area FFA and 4-H members.
The discount, he explained, puts their
purchase price just a bit above his cost
a small price to pay to keep youngsters involved in agriculture and animal
welfare.
Helping FFA and 4-H members is
just a small part of why they love the
business, noted Dee Dee.
It is about being a part of something
special, which is getting to know our customers and their animals while giving
back to this wonderful community that
supports us, she said.
Another effort to support the community is their recently-acquired trailer outfitted to serve fresh kettle corn and
lemonade, which they take to football
games and other community events.
I started out with a small kettle corn
rig and set up shop at four Granite Bay

High football games, which allowed us


to raise $1,600 for the team, he said.
The new trailer is equipped with a
sound system and lighting.
Lyman said he no longer worries
about finding new ways to get the business name out there since he has added
community fundraising to his list of
activities.
I can buy an ad here and there, but
the return on my investment with this
trailer is priceless. We are a communityoriented business and we get to spend
time giving back to a place we love and
live in while having a great time, he said.
The trailer has picked up quite a few
sponsors in the business community as
well, including Rabobank, N.A., which is
the second largest agricultural bank in
the country.
Scott Cisneros, vice president and
community banking market manager,
stepped up to supply 25,000 bags for the
kettle corn.
Cisneros said getting out to community
events is a perfect way to get to know
clients (and potential clients) personally
in a casual environment.
We are a relationship bank and it
was such an oh wow moment
when I saw what Craig
had done, he said. What
better way to get to
meet your customers and
relax with them than over
a bag of kettle corn at a
football game or other event,
he added.
While Craig is thankful to own
a successful business, he recognizes
there are more important things in life.
The success of the business is nice,
but being a part of this community while
giving back is even better, he said.

Rocklin resident Katelyn Snyder,


shows off a copy of book written
by Rolf during a book signing
at Douglas Feed and Pet Supply
last month.

BY EILEEN WILSON
PHOTOS BY ANNE STOKES

ts easy to see that Rolf, a 9-year old Springer spaniel


was able to train his human, Jack May, AKA Grumpy,
in no time at all.
Rolf has his owner plumping pillows, and belly rubs are at
the precious pups beck and call.
The large spaniel, dressed in rich chestnut brown with
cream tummy and incredible silky brown ears, has
become somewhat of a celebrity since the publication of
Rolfs Guide to Training Your Pet Human.
The spaniel signs his book, written by Rolf the Rascal Dog.
The guide is a tongue-in-cheek view of how Rolf has
trained Grumpy to perform chores around the house as well
as to cater to his every doggie wish.
The dogs daily walk in his Roseville neighborhood has kids
and adults alike doting on the pooch that is the embodiment
of friendliness.
Everybody knows him and everybody loves him, especially
little kids, May said.
And Rolf isnt the only author in the family. Jack Mays
first book, Jumpin Jackie, is about a cow that jumps over
the moon.
A lot of people didnt believe that a cow had jumped over
the moon so I decided to do a little research. It turns out that
the cow who made the famous jump lived right on the farm
where I grew up in Wisconsin, May said.
The author knows his cows. He was raised
on a beef farm and has always been involved
with Future Farmers of America and 4-H.
So writing books with animal protagonists comes naturally.
When I retired from my career in
sales and marketing I thought I would
write a how-to kind of book about sales
strategies. But that subject just seemed like
more work, May said.
When May wrote the manuscript for
Jumpin Jackie, he approached several large publishing
houses, but settled on Little Creek Press, a small publisher in
Wisconsin. The publisher recommended a list of illustrators
and May chose Jeremy Provost, a young man who had graduated
from illustrating school in college, and was working a day job
in an unrelated field.
Provost took the successful Jackie book to a large publisher,
resulting in an illustrating contract for other books and earning
a living doing what he loves.
I didnt even know there was such a thing
as illustrating school, May said. When
I met Jeremy I knew he was a really nice
young guy and I feel as good about his
success with the publishing house as
I do about the sales of my book.
The Rolf book was an organic
transition from the dogs annual
holiday letters that May has mailed in
years past. Recipients couldnt seem to get

enough of Rolfs antics. Though May calls himself Grumpy in


the book, hes far from it. With a fondness for charity, he has
donated copies of his books to Sutters Intensive Care Unit for kids
through the Granite Bay Rotary, an organization that May loves.
In addition, he brings books to schools and pre-schools for
read a-louds.
Since May has a personal love of all things agriculture, he gives
scholarships to high school seniors from his hometown that plan
to study agriculture.
Its a good thing that May loves children. With his wife of a
decade, the couple has a blended family of ten children and nine
grandchildren, so holidays can be hectic.
May said his books are perfect for kids; the grandkids love them.
Craig Lyman, owner of Douglas Ranch Feed and Pet Supply,
where May and Rolf recently had a book signing, agrees.
Our girls, who are ages 8 and 9, giggled non-stop (while reading
the Rolf book) and when they were done, they said, lets read it
again.
Leilani Fratis, CEO of Placer SPCA plans to add the book to the
centers Reading to Dogs program.
Mays books can also be found at Learning Express in Roseville
and at Littlcreekpress.com. Barnes and Noble and Amazon also
have limited quantities.
Whats next for Jack May? Maybe another picture book. Or
maybe Ill finally write that sales and marketing book, he said.

Former Granite Bay


soccer star Dominic Scotti
returns to his hometown
state as he transfers from
Wake Forest to Sacramento
State to continue his career
on the pitch.
FILE PHOTO

BY JEREMY MCDONALD

ominic Scotti is
Homeward Bound.
After spending a
year at Wake Forest University
in North Carolina and playing
three games for the Demon
Deacons in 2014, the Granite
Bay graduate is transferring to
Sacramento State to continue
his career for the Hornets.
I wanted to be closer to
home that was a big part of
it, he admitted in January after
sharing his announcement
with his followers on Twitter. I
played with a few of the kids [at
Sac State] now and based on
my experience, they were part
of some of the best teams in the
country and these kids, all of
these kids can play on this
team.
So I think we can really be
good in the coming years.
Prompting the cross-country
move, Wake Forest head
coach Jay
Vidovich
accepted a job
with the
MLS affiliate club the Portland
Timbers 2 of the USL Pro
League. He serves as the head
coach leaving the Demon Deacons after 21 seasons.
Vidovich was twice named
the National Coach of the Year
at Wake Forest and since 1994
he racked up a 272-121-50
overall record, while placing
13 of the past 14 teams in the
NCAA Tournament and capturing the programs first
national championship in
2007.
Much like Vidovich being
a major draw for high school
kids, Scotti says the Sac State
program appealed to him for
a similar reason.
Theyve got something special going on here, he said.
The head coach is a really
good guy. Hes been here for 26
years and he coached me
before in club for a couple of

years. So I know him really


well, and I know the program
really well.

HUMBLE
BEGINNINGS
A natural athlete, Scotti competed in baseball, basketball,
and football during his senior
year at Granite Bay. But soccer,
which he first began playing
when he was 6 years old, was
the one sport in which he
shined brightest, and in large
part thanks to a supportive
family.
(My parents were) extremely
supportive, he admitted. Without them I wouldnt be anywhere near where I am now.
Soccer is just a great way to
express yourself and have a
great time with a lot of good
guys its just a lot of fun.

In high school, Scotti admits


it was much easier juggling the
rigors of athletics and academics compared to the collegiate
level.
Its going to be the same at
(Sac State), in terms of going to
class and all of that, he admitted. But it definitely adds
more to it, trying to balance
academics, a social life and
athletics. Its definitely more
manageable now than at first,
but its different thats for
sure.
Scotti was an early commit to
Wake Forest signing his commitment letter as a sophomore.
The moment he signed, he
began logging hours in the
classroom.
I committed during spring
of my sophomore year, he
recalled. First, I wasnt sure if I

0131GBV039 1/23/2015 11:20 AM Page 39

could enroll for a semester so


early. So I had to get that moving to see what schools were
available and if they would
allow me to do that. Just to get
started and get as many credits
as I could.

EXPERIENCE PAYS
OFF
With his abilities on the pitch
and his smarts in the classroom, the offer letters poured
in over the next three years. As
part of the Grizzlies varsity program, Scotti earned a whooping 32 goals on the pitch, while
registering 21 assists in 58
career games.
Scotti was also a part of
three Grizzlies squads that
tallied a combined 62-10-5
record, won three league
championships including a
section title, and earned
recognition on a national level
with state rankings during his
senior campaign.
Dominic Scotti was one of
the most impactful players
weve ever had, said current
Granite Bay head coach Steve
Fischer, who was Scottis
coach from 2011-2014. He
can change the game at any
instant. His enthusiasm and
talent were infectious and he
could carry a team for large
chunks of any game.
Other teams had to defend
him and, therefore, other players could score. He made our
team better any time he was on
the field.
During his one lone season
with Wake Forest, Scotti played
in three games but did not
compile any notable stats.
However, it was the experience
playing with and against Division-I athletes on a daily basis
that stuck with him the most.
That entire experience was
fantastic, he admitted. A lot of
the guys were big-name guys, a
couple of All-Americans were
there I mean we had a kid
who was a semi-finalist for the

Big West Conference, which is
one of the best in soccer, Scotti
acknowledged. I believe they
can and will have a lot of suc-

cess. I want to win and I know I


can do that there.
Scotti will pursue a degree in
Criminal Justice, in order to one
day work his way up to an FBI
Field Agent. That is, if his talents
on the soccer field dont take
him to the professional level.
Pro is always the goal and
the dream, he admitted. Who
wouldnt go pro if they had that
opportunity? I would love to.

Got High
Cholesterol?
T

hese days it takes


more than an apple a
day to keep the doctor off your back.
The good doc is going
to pester you about your
blood pressure and cholesterol levels apple or
not. And who can blame
him?
According to the American Heart Association,
105.2 million adults have
borderline to high risk
blood cholesterol levels.
In addition, nearly one in
three adults suffers from
high blood pressure.
And these numbers grow
every year.
And whats even scarier
is that 82 percent of those
at high risk are unaware
of their condition.
So what do you do? Pop
a pill and try not to think
about it? Or maybe you
join the 82 percent who
dont even bother to have
blood pressure and cholesterol checked. What
you dont know cant hurt
you, right?
Whether youve had
your blood pressure
and cholesterol levels
checked lately or not,

these conditions are


deadly and sneaky. Many
people are unaware of the
danger lurking in their
own arteries.
Whats so bad about
high blood pressure and
cholesterol levels?
In a nutshell, these conditions raise your chances
for having a stroke, kidney
failure, heart disease or
heart attack.
Heres the lowdown:
Blood
pressure
is
recorded in two numbers.
The first describes your
systolic blood pressure.
This is the pressure when
your heart is squeezing
blood out. The second is
your diastolic blood pressure. This is the pressure
between
heartbeats,
when your heart is filling
with blood.
The ideal blood pressure to have is 120/80 or
lower. Blood pressure
that falls between 120/80
and 140/90 is considered
to be prehypertension
meaning that your blood
pressure is higher than
normal.
If your blood pressure is
140/90 or higher, then

Deb
Skelton

you officially have high


blood pressure.
Cholesterol is also
recorded in two numbers
high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL).
The distinction between HDL and LDL is
actually quite important
LDL delivers cholesterol to your body, while
HDL removes cholesterol
from your bloodstream.
In other words, HDL
cholesterol is good and
LDL cholesterol is bad.
When there is extra
cholesterol in your bloodstream, it lines your arteries, causing them to narrow. These deposits can
block an artery that flows
to your heart resulting
in a heart attack, or they
can block an artery that
flows to your brain
resulting in a stroke.
The ideal cholesterol
level to have is a number
less than 200.
Between 200 and 239
you are considered to
have borderline high cholesterol, and 240 or higher
puts you in a danger zone.
Will exercise really help

lower your high blood


pressure and improve
cholesterol levels? It sure
willand heres how:
Weak heart muscles
pump little blood with
lots of effort. By exercising
you strengthen your heart
muscles and train them to
pump more blood with
less effort. The stronger
your heart is the less pressure will be exerted on
your arteries.
Exercise increases LDL
levels in some people.
This means a decrease in
your risk for heart disease.
Other heart disease risk
factors, such as weight,
diabetes and high blood
pressure, all show
improvement with
regular exercise.
If exercise isnt
currently part
of your lifestyle you will
be amazed
at how it
will
improve
your
health
once you
start.
Im sure
your doctor could
share
a
myriad of
success stories involving
people just like
you who dramatically

improved their blood


pressure and cholesterol
through exercise.
Health Isnt that what
we all ask for in the New
Year?
The benefits of a consistent and challenging
exercise program are
numerous. Did you know
that exercise will even
improve your sleep?
If exercise is not a part
of your lifestyle, start
today. Its
never
too late
to reap
the many

rewards that come with


being physically fit.

Take your lifestyle


choices to heart
I

want to start this months


column with a brief quiz.
Can you place in order the
leading causes of death in the
United States? Here are your
choices: Cancer. Heart disease.
Accidents. Chronic lower respiratory disease. Stroke.
The correct order, according
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is: Heart
disease, cancer, chronic lower
respiratory disease, stroke and
accidents.
Thats right. Heart disease is
the leading cause of death for
nearly 600,000 Americans each
year, according to the latest
CDC statistics.
The number of deaths is high,
despite major medical advances such as placing stents
in arteries to keep them open
and allowing blood to flow;
open heart surgeries to repair
heart defects; and coronary
artery bypass grafting to repair
damaged and obstructed blood
vessels in the heart.
The good news to share during February, American Heart
Month, is that many of us can
reduce the risk factors that contribute to heart disease just by
making healthy lifestyle choices and in some cases, taking
the proper medication.
Granted, we cant eliminate
all the risks of coronary disease
because there are factors we
have no control over, such as
family history, genetics, gender,
or age.
But there are still important
steps we can take, such as
empowering ourselves with
education, to prevent heart disease.
These steps include our
awareness of risk associated
with hypertension, diabetes,
smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, elevated cholesterol, and
stress.

Heart disease is the


leading cause of death for
nearly 600,000 Americans
each year, according to
the latest CDC statistics.
Ive asked a colleague, Dr.
Marjon Fariba, a cardiologist, to
expand on these tips to keep
our hearts healthy.
This is what she came up
with:
See your primary care
provider regularly. Diabetes,
high blood pressure, and high
cholesterol sometimes dont
have symptoms. If you are
screened regularly, you will get
a preview of potential upcoming problems and can start
treatment or lifestyle changes to
avoid long-term effects on your
body and heart.
Do not smoke or use tobacco. This is one of the most significant risk factors for heart
disease and purely within our
control. The great news is that
once you quit smoking, your
risk of heart disease drops significantly; five years later, your
risk is lowered to that to that of
a nonsmoker.
Exercise 30 to 45 minutes
daily. The health benefits are
enormous. Physical activity
helps by lowering your bad cholesterol, increasing good cholesterol, decreasing high blood
pressure, improving diabetes
control, controlling your weight
and reducing your stress level.
Dont be discouraged if you
have to break up your workout
time into two or three sessions
because shorter duration also
benefits the heart.
Eat a healthy diet. The best
heart healthy diets are plantbased diets, which include vegetables, whole grains, legumes,

FEBRUARY 2015 GRANITE BAY VIEW

Palkowski

and fruit, with little or no animal


products (including dairy). It is
important to limit certain fats in
your diet, such as saturated fats,
and avoid trans-fats altogether.
You should consume healthy
fats instead, such as avocados,
nuts, olives and olive oil.
Maintain a healthy weight.
You can calculate your heart
disease and stroke risk by calculating your body mass index
(BMI), which is derived from
your height and weight to
approximate your level of body
fat. A BMI of 25 and higher is
associated with higher risks for
hypertension, high cholesterol,
heart disease and stroke. In
addition to BMI, waist circumference is a useful tool to measure how much abdominal fat
you have. Most men are considered overweight with waist circumference of 40 inches or
greater and women with waist
circumference of 35 inches or
greater.
Reduce your stress level. For
many of us, this is definitely
easier said than done. But its
worth a try because studies
show stress may increase heart
disease risks, such as high
blood pressure, cholesterol levels, smoking, physical inactivity
and overeating. There are
strategies that can be learned to
manage stress, including meditation, muscle relaxation, and
breathing techniques.
There is no doubt that medical advances will find new and
improved ways of treating heart
disease, but its unlikely they
will ever cure the condition. Its
more important to prevent
heart disease from occurring in
the first place by paying close
attention to our risk factors
right now.

The heart benefits from consuming foods rich in omega-3
fats (wild salmon and walnuts)
and foods rich in CoQ10, a heart
healthy antioxidant, (broccoli
and oranges).
Enjoy a small dose of antioxidant rich dark chocolate this
month as well. Your heart will
soar with love.

Laughter is great medicine by


helping to reduce stress,
improve oxygen flow to the
heart. It even helps burn a few
calories. Watch a funny movie
and see how you feel afterward.
Your heart will thank you.
Exercise your heart with both
slow and vigorous activities.

Exercise promotes a healthier


resting heart rate and burns
excess stored fat from the body,
which in turn will improve the
hearts circulatory capabilities.

it will help keep you moving for
the long haul.
Good nutrition is cardio-protective.

Eating heart healthy foods

Practice stress-free living.

fresh air are stress-relieving
activities that help reduce blood
pressure and benefit your heart
long-term.
So does a good nights sleep.

Dont skimp on these important heart healthy activities.


Your heart beats nonstop; it
deserves a stress-free break
from the daily grind.
Bring on the love.

enjoying friendships, and playing with the kids and pets are
great opportunities to emotionally connect and that is good for
the heart.

outings
with
friends, romantic candlelit dinners with your someone special, and walks with your pup.

id you know that if


your dog bites someone at the park, you
could end up with the
medical bills? And if your
child posts defamatory
information online, you
may owe for damages?
Even if someone is accidentally injured while on
your property, you may be
the one liable. You can
prepare for the unexpected and unintended by
investing in personal liability umbrella coverage.

How Does It Work?


Home and auto insurance typically include
some liability coverage,
and it can be added to
renters insurance for a
fee.
You can also purchase a
Personal Liability Umbrella Policy in addition to
underlying policies if you
want extra coverage, which
can be smart.
We live in a very
litigious society, says
Michael Barry, vice president of media relations

for the Insurance Information Institute (III).


The liability insurance
on your home or auto
policy could be exhausted quickly if you were
to be sued. Umbrella liability steps in to fill the
coverage gap.

Is It Affordable?
The III estimates that $1
million in personal liability insurance costs $150 to
$300 per year. You could
benefit by budgeting for
the expense.
Its a wise move as part
of an overall plan to protect your assets, Barry
said.

What Does It Cover?


Personal liability umbrella insurance may cover damages and legal fees
if youre found at fault in
certain situations.
This coverage may include incidents that happen away from your
home, involve attractive
nuisances (such as pools
or trampolines) and that

Kevin
Gross

arent typically covered


by home and auto policies, such as defamation
of character, libel and
slander.

What Are Its Limits?


Personal liability umbrella insurance wont
cover injury or property
damage related to business. If you work out
of your house, look into
other options for protecting your home-based
business.
This article, which was
taken from the State
Farm Learning Resource
Center, contains only a
general description of coverages and is not a contract. Details of coverage
or limits vary in some
states. All coverages are
subject to the terms, provisions, exclusions, and conditions in the policy itself
and in any endorsements.

Use it or
lose it!
I

f youve been paying premiums on a long term care


insurance (LTCi) policy for
years and wondering What
does this policy cover? When
do I use it? and How do I use
it? read on.
Given the choice, most people wish to age in their own
home, in familiar surroundings
with family, neighbors and pets.
If you had the foresight to purchase a long term care policy
with an In Home Care benefit,
youre in luck.

Locate the Policy


If you have your hands on the
policy, thats great. If you cant
find it, call the insurance company and request a copy. Make
sure your adult children and/or
power of attorney know you
have a policy and where it is.
Nothing is worse than paying
into a policy and not remembering to use it.

Schedule of Benefits
This summary page states
the coverage of the policy. For
example, how much the policy
will pay for in-home care,
assisted living or nursing home
care.
Some even have a benefit for
home modifications and fall
alert devices.

Elimination or
Deductible Period
This is the portion the policy
holder is expected to pay
before the insurance company
pays. It can be 0, 30, 60, 90
or up to 100 days. How those
days are counted toward your
deductible can vary.
Some are individual days of
care while others are calendar
days. This may be waived
in certain situations, such as
hospice.

Feldman

Qualifying Need
The critical trigger to use
the policy hinges on needing
either stand-by or hands-on
assistance with at least two of
these Activities of Daily Living
(ADLs): transferring, toileting,
incontinence care, bathing,
dressing and feeding (not meal
prep), or cognitive impairment
requiring supervision (exact
definition varies by insurance).

Qualified Caregiver
While some LTCi companies
allow family members to be the
caregiver, most require a
licensed home care agency to
provide the care.

Use it or Lose it
Tapping into your LTCi policy
when there is adequate need,
yet not waiting too long (investment wasted), simply takes
evaluation.
If qualified assistance is
needed to help a senior stay
home safely, possibly relieving
a spouse or adult child of the
tasks, why not investigate starting a claim? After all, thats
why you purchased the policy
in the first place.
Be aware that in many cases,
premium is waived while
receiving benefits. And, benefits are lost if not utilized by
end of life.
If youd like assistance in
navigating the waters of your
long term care insurance policy, Id be happy to meet with
you, review the policy, discuss
care needs and do a home safety assessment. Just email or
call to set up this complimentary service.

Its time to
get gardening!
S

ince its cold outside,


you might think there
is nothing to do in
the garden until the
warmer weather arrives.
Not so, my fine gardening
friends! In fact, this is the
perfect time to prepare
for spring while burning
some calories.
If your roses are not yet
pruned to perfection, this
is the time to get them in
shape. But dont wait
another day as they wont
get the dormant rest they
need to perform well
once the blooming season starts. Nor is it too late
to plant spring bulbs. Yes,
you may have missed the

ideal time, but if you get


them in the ground soon
you will still be able to
enjoy a colorful display
although it may be
delayed until late spring
or early summer.
What I really want to
encourage you to take
advantage of are the great
deals on bare root plants,
particularly roses and
fruit trees. Though most
bare root plants have
been available for over a
month, the selection of
varieties is still great and
prices may even be better
than in January.
At this time of year most
nursery retailers begin to

Tim
Krumal

cut their prices on bare


root stock to clear out
inventory ahead of delivery of spring annuals and
flowering perennials. Real
estate in the nursery business is valuable space and
retailers dont want it taken up by bare root trees
and shrubs when people
are looking to chase away
the winter blues with
bright annual color.
When buying bare root
stock, there are a few
important tips to keep in
mind if you want the
most of your purchases.
First, inspect the plant to
make sure there is no
damage to the bark or

branches. Look for any


open wounds that may
have occurred while the
plants were in transit.
Also check to see that
the roots are not dry and
brittle. You want to start
with healthy plant stock
to insure successful transplant and growth when
warm weather begins.
This used to be easier
when nurseries had their
bare root stock sitting in
raised beds of sawdust and
you could just pull a plant
out, look it over and put it
back if you werent happy
with it. Most bare root
stock now comes in containers or the roots are tied
and wrapped in plastic so
you may have to work a bit
to inspect a plant.
OK, this is critical information. So pay attention.
When selecting fruit
trees its important to
check the number of chill
hours required for your
variety of choice. Chill
hours are the number of

hours that a plant


requires the temperature
to be between 35 and 45
degrees.
If you werent rewarded
this past season with the
same quality of fruit from
your garden as you have
been in past years, this
may be the reason. Most
deciduous fruit trees need
somewhere between 400
and 600 chill hours in
order to produce a good
crop, though there are several newer varieties that
require less.
This is critical as our
winters have not been as
cold in the past few years
and many fruit trees have
suffered as a result. So,
select varieties that have a
lower chill hour requirement if you wish to
increase your chances of
producing healthy trees
that fruit well.
Planting a bare root tree
is very similar to that of
roses. Dig your hole twice
as wide as its container.

For a five-gallon tree, this


would be about 30 inches.
Add soil amendments as
necessary to a depth of 18
inches, depending again,
on the size of your tree.
In the center of the hole
create a mound as if you
were building a sand castle
at the beach, which is
probably where you would
rather be right now.
Lightly compact the soil
and spread the roots over
the cone. This will help
insure roots spread and
dont wind around themselves girdling the tree.
Back fill your hole with soil.
Note that almost all roses and deciduous fruit
trees are grafted on to a different root stock. The soil
level after you fill and compact it should be even with
the bud union.
If you have questions
feel free to send me an
email. Happy planting!

ine is a hot topic! While wine


bars are becoming a popular
trend, theres nothing quite
like visiting the winery.
And Placer County residents are fortunate to have a wine trail with wineries
and tasting rooms in Rocklin, Loomis,
Auburn, Newcastle and Lincoln. The
wine trail is attracting visitors from
throughout the region.
Placer Countys wine trail has 20 participating wineries each with their
own unique story and all are bursting
with amazing wines to offer visitors.

52

From traditional style wines, to cutting


edge new and exciting flavors, the wines
offered in Placer County will please the
palates of new wine lovers as well as the
experienced enthusiasts.
It would be impossible to visit all 20 in
one day or even over a weekend. However, residents can take several days to
explore and really take in the beauty of
this area.
Starting in Rocklin, just a short drive
from Granite Bay, wine enthusiasts can
stop at the wine tasting room for Cante
Ao Vinho, which means sing to the

FEBRUARY 2015 GRANITE BAY VIEW

wine.
Cante Ao Vinho winery is owned by
Frank and Tom Farinha, who have been
making wine for more than 40 years.
Their tasting room is located in Historic Rocklins Barudoni building on
Front Street. Step inside this building
and you step back into time. The granite
building dates back to Rocklins earliest
days.
Visitors can expect to taste Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Italian
varietals.
The winemakers boast that the three

things they love most in life are variety,


sharing their wines, and having fun
making it.
Head to Loomis and youll find five
more wineries: Secret Ravine, Ciotti Cellars, Popie Wines, Casque Wines and
Rock Hill Winery.
Secret Ravine Vineyards has been
family owned and operated by Ron and
Vicky Morris for 16 years. Enter the Tuscan style tasting room and sample
award winning wines. Outside, you will
be able to see the vineyards and occasional sheep strolling through the prop-

0131GBV053 1/23/2015 11:39 AM Page 53

erty.
Vicky Morris believes Secret Ravine is
unique.
We use only Loomis Basin grown
grapes picked from that which we either
own or manage, she explained. The
entire processing of the grapes from
receiving to bottling takes place on the
premises.
Take a short drive down the road to
visit two wineries located on the same
property: Ciotti Cellars and Popie Wine.
Ciotti winemakers are committed to
continuing the family tradition of

selecting the best fruit to make the best


quality wine for their visitors.
Popie winemakers also pride themselves on tradition, quality, and excellence in their wine making skills.
Continuing through Loomis, you will
find Casque Wines, which is located off
Horseshoe Bar Road (close to Folsom
Lake). The winery owners invite visitors
to bring picnics, friends and family to
view their winery and taste their wines.
Four-legged friends are also welcome.
Also in Loomis is Rock Hill winery,
which is owned by Donald DuPont, also

president of Placer Counties Vintners


Association.
Visitors can expect to be greeted like
family, said DuPont. Rock Hill understands that visitors like different types of
wine based on their own unique palate.
The goal at Rock Hill is to eliminate preconceived notions that one kind of wine
is the only wine for you.
Visitors to Rock Hill will also enjoy
breathtaking views of the Sierra
Foothills.
Most importantly, guests have fun.
At the end of the day that is why Rock

Hill is a part of Placer County, DuPont


added.
At Rock Hill, you will be able to view
the vineyards, wine barrels in the cellars
and possibly even blend your own
unique one-of-a-kind wine.
Auburn is home to seven wineries.
The list of great wineries includes Bonitata, Mt. Vernon, Lone Buffalo, PaZa,
Green Family, Vina Castellano and
Fawnridge.
When driving up from Loomis, the
first winery you are likely to encounter

GRANITE BAY VIEW

CONTINUED ON PAGE 54

FEBRUARY 2015

0131GBV054 1/23/2015 11:40 AM Page 54

is Bonitata, a boutique winery


located on the grounds of the Bernhard Museum.
The building is made of two-foot
thick stonewalls, which creates the
perfect temperature to store wine.
After you taste their wine, take a
tour of the museum.
Leaving Bonitata, you can head
over to Mt. Vernon Winery, which is
owned by Jim and Lynda Taylor.
The tasting room is housed in a
milk house that was originally built
on the property in 1950. The building has been restored with an eye
to showcasing Mt. Vernon wines.
The wine cave currently holds
more than 500 barrels of French
and American Oak-aged wine.
Their picnic area is lush and
green and serves as a display area
for an antique truck and a bicycle
propelled buggy.
Auburns Lone Buffalo Winery is
owned by Phil Maddux, who has
more than 40 years of experience in
making wine. Visitors can expect a
laid back, down to earth environment with an Old West aura.
(Lone Buffalo) is fit for cowboys
to kings in our rustic but elegant
style winery, said Maddux.
At PaZa winery, owners Zane and
Pamela Dobson have located the
tasting shed right next to the vineyards. Visitors will find a very
homey atmosphere to enjoy
while drinking the great wines that
PaZa has to offer. Picnics are also
welcome.
(PaZa Winery) is like Napa 40
years ago, said Zane Dobson.
Green Family Winery is run by
Charlie Green, also affectionately
called Uncle Charlie by visitors.
He claims that Green Family
Winery is the oldest winery in Placer County.
Its a small family run business,
Green said. Visitors can expect to
find very good wine in a no nonsense setting. We put all the money
and effort into making the wine not
the decorations, thus we can keep
the prices very low.
Further north is Vina Castellano,
which is owned by the Mendez
family.
This winery, which is hidden
among farmland in the rolling hills
of Auburn, produces Mediterranean style wine. In summer
months the winery also offers Sangria.
The last stop in Auburn is Fawnridge Winery, which is owned by
Stewart and Stephanie Perry.

COURTESY

Lone Buffalo Winerys winemaker checks the temperature of wines stored at


the Auburn location. The rustic but elegant winery has an Old West aura.
The two winemakers planted
Barbera and Syrah grapes in 2002
and have been making wine and
memories ever since. They have
remained very involved in every
aspect of the wines they produce.
The tasting bar features stacked
wine barrels and displays of their
numerous awards.
The winery furthest north in
Placer County is Bear River located
in Meadow Vista. At first glance, the
tasting room looks like an old red
barn. The inside is impressive visually and a delight for your taste
buds.
Coming back down the hill,
check out the two wineries in Newcastle: Pescatore and Dono dal
Cielo.
Pescatore has 15 acres of vineyards with a wonderful Tuscany
style tasting room. Visitors will be
able to chat exclusively with winery
owners David and Pat Wegner.
Pescatore has been family owned
since 1997.
Dono dal Cielo sits among

vineyards and has a beautiful tasting room and an amazing outdoor


space.
Sunday is football day at Dono
dal Cielo. Winery owners
claim real football fans
drink wine and invite
wine enthusiasts to visit
their tasting room on
Sundays to enjoy their
favorite wine while
watching
their
favorite game.
The winery is also
child and dog friendly.
Conclude
your
wine trail excursion
with stops at the four
wineries in Lincoln.
Wise Villa is unique
in that it has its own
restaurant. The winery
also hosts food and wine
pairing events.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY SCOTT THOMAS ANDERSON

urkey is a land where intriguing


conversations and warm hospitality
reign supreme, and a couple who grew
up with that way of life have been sharing
it with Rocklin through cuisine. Now, the
owners of Anatolian Table say surviving the
Recession and expanding into Sacramento
has given them a larger vision a plan to
open a lively center for Turkish culture in
the region.

Erol and Tugce


Hazar, owners of Rocklins
Anatolian Table, prepare an eggplant dish with olive oil.
The story of Anatolian Table started 20 years
ago in London, when Erol Hazar met his future
wife, Tugce, while working at a restaurant. Both
Erol and Tugce were raised in Turkey, and Tugce
had just graduated from a four-year culinary
institute in her homeland. Tugce had formal
training in cuisine, but her main passion for
cooking remained forever linked to timeless
Turkish recipes passed down from the women
in her family.
In 2004, the Hazars made their first visit to
the United States, eagerly touring the Sacramento region and the Bay Area. They soon had
a dream of bringing a Turkish touch to the area
through Tugces family cooking legacy. After ten
more scouting trips from London, they settled
on opening a restaurant location at the Blue
Oaks Marketplace.
Rocklin was one of the fastest growing places
at that time, Erol remembered. The schools
were good for our kids. It was just coming up
really fast.
Walking into Anatolian Table, customers are
met with an array of Old World ornaments that
hint at the bazaars of Istanbul. The dining
rooms rich red walls are accented by Oriental
carpets, eastern ceramics and oil paintings of
Turkish landscapes. Glass mosaic lamps with
jeweled hues dangle over the tables. The far
side of the room is highlighted by a deep, sea
blue corner of exotic plates.
My wife handles all the dcor, Erol said,
laughing. Everything you see walking in comes
from her.
And Tugces ideas also extend directly to Anatolian Tables food. She and her husband

describe Turkish food as a healthy amalgam of


Mediterranean influences, with less hot spices
than dishes from Persia, but more herbs and
accentuations than plates from Greece.
The food is cooked in a clean, open kitchen
that customers can see into. Tugce and her
prep cooks use fresh local produce and an arsenal of spices imported directly from Turkey.
One popular appetizer on the menu is the
spicy humus, a stir of subtle flavors with a
smoky aroma and distinctly warm flick on the
bloom of its aftertaste. The mixture is served
with soft, hand-baked bread. Another soughtafter appetizer is the Sigara Boregi, a pan fried,
phyllo wrapped pastry stuffed with feta cheese,
which strikes the palate with a crisp flakiness
covering a slight salty tinge and smooth sour
note in the center.
The main courses at Anatolian Table have
unique arrangements. One favorite, Yogurt
Adonai, is a plate of tender, savory lamb with
balanced spices that are earthy and tepid, popping over a cool tang from the mote of yogurt
the meat sits in. Another local favorite is Chicken Kabob, which Anatolian Table offers as big,
plump cubes of juicy white meat with a rough,
butter-broiled taste seared on the edges.
The restaurants approach to dessert involves
serving Balklava with a spoonful of whipped
cream and raspberry sauce. While there are
thousands of Balklava recipes from Tehran to
Athens, Tugces Turkish take on the delicacy is
heavy on the sticky sweetness and thin layers of
melted honey.
I love to cook, and I have ever since I was a
child, said Tugce. I cook in the traditional way .
