The Hub wants to be the center
of cycling in Granite Bay
BY JOYIA EMARD
THE PRESS TRIBUNE
There’s a new cycling boutique in Granite Bay that wants to be
more than just a bike shop – The Hub Express hopes to create a
community gathering place.
The new shop opened June 1 and is an extension of The Hub in
Roseville. Hub Express is located on Auburn Folsom Road, near
street trails and Folsom Lake bike trails.
“We want to be a place where cyclists can hang out,” said store
manager Mike Deetz.
The cycling enthusiast said the heart of the store is a sitting area
where customers can relax, watch cycling videos and enjoy free
coffee in the morning.
According to Deetz, the 600-square-foot store carries bikes
made by Niner and Scott that are available for demo or purchase.
He also said the store sells helmets, gloves, socks, shoes, riding
apparel, bike accessories, snacks and drinks.
Along with its showroom, The Hub Express has a service area
where tune-ups and repairs can be done while cyclists wait.
“A lot of times people are out cycling and need a quick repair for
a flat, brakes or a derailleur,” Deetz says. “They can stop here after
they get off the trails.”
Cycles For Hope is a nonprofit organization that will share space
with Hub Express. The group refurbishes old bikes that are then
donated to the needy.
Deetz said the Hub will hold a “bike kitchen” event a few times
 ROAD CYCLING SAFETY TIPS
• Wear a helmet, always.
• Wear gloves: For better grip and to avoid blisters.
• Always carry appropriate tools: Spare tubes, patch kit,
pump, chain tool and spoke wrench.
• Road biking rules
• Obey traffic signs and signals.
• Yield to pedestrians.
• Be predictable, visible and
communicate your intentions to
motorists.
• Use a rear view mirror
attached to helmet, glasses, or
handlebars.
• At night, wear bright clothing;
use a good light and reflectors.
• Ride with traffic.

These Granite Bay High School graduates are
going to take over the world - Grizzly style
BY BRAD SMITH

TERESA PALKOWSKI
Family: Parents, Chris and Susan.
Younger brother Matt is a sophomore
at Granite Bay High.
Loves: “Ugly Betty,” spending time with her
brother

How does it feel being a senior?

It’s been a great year. A challenging year with my
honors and advanced placement courses. It’s been
busy with all the work I’ve been doing on the
Gazette, our school newspaper. I love working on
the Gazette. It’s been fulfilling and stressful all at
the same time. And soon I’ll be facing new chal-
lenges as I continue my education. I can’t believe
this year has gone by so fast.
Favorite teacher and/or class?
Karl Grubaugh, my journalism teacher. He’s
always been very encouraging. He taught me to
believe in myself as a writer. He’s helped me a lot
as I’ve worked on the Gazette.
Most memorable high school experience?
Math has always been a struggle for me. It’s
always frustrated me — especially calculus. I
remember getting so worked up before a test that
I’d breakdown and cry. I would spend extra time
after school working with teachers so I could
understand all of these complicated theorems and
equations.You know, I learned a lot about myself
during that time — One, I still don’t care for math.
Two, if I set my mind to it, I can do anything and
achieve any goal if I work hard for it.
What clubs or groups were you active in?
I was the tennis team captain this year. Of
course, there’s the Gazette. I’m one of the paper’s
co-editors and that’s a big responsibility. It’s creat-
ed a lot of pressure but I’ve learned that I can han-
dle it. Outside of school, I’ve been a part of the
Placer County Peer Court. We actually take part in
cases involving other teens charged with offenses
such as vandalism and getting into fights. We took
on the roles of judges, attorneys and juries.
Which school will you be attending?
Tulane University in New Orleans. I want to be a
psychologist or psychiatrist. Working on the
Gazette and being a reporter, I learned that I loved
talking to people and learning more about them.
Both of my parents work in the medical field —
they’ve shown me how important it is to help oth-
er people.
Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
I’d like to be living on the East Coast, some place
like Washington, D.C., or Boston. I’ve always want-
ed to be on the East Coast.
From left, Teresa Palkowski and Kurt Chirbas are at work on the Granite Bay Gazette. Both students said
that working on the paper has made an impact on their lives.
KURT CHIRBAS
Family: Parents, Kurt and Monica. Older
sister Faith attends UC Irvine. Younger
brother Luke is a freshman.
Loves: “Lost,” “The Office” and Harry Potter books
How does it feel being a senior?
Bittersweet. It’s been bittersweet for me. It’s been a
great four years here at school and I’m looking forward
to the change. But I do find myself looking back at ear-
lier times and thinking, “Wow. I might miss this person
or I will miss this place.”
High school has changed me a lot and I’m a better
person for it. I walk around the school and recall some
memories. It’s weird leaving this place after all this time.
But I’ll be taking a lot of memories with me.
Favorite teacher and/or class?
My journalism classes. They helped me to open up
my eyes and look at the world and what’s going on.
By working on the paper I was able to talk to people
or do things that normally I wouldn’t have the chance
of doing. It’s helped me to learn about many things and
it’s made me a better person.
Most memorable high school experience?
When I was writing for the Gazette. I’d be writing an
article and not really be thinking about it. I mean, it was
just another assignment. I’d write the copy and turn it
in.
PHILIP WOOD • GRANITE BAY VIEW
When the paper came out. People would read my
article and then congratulate me on doing such a great
job or tell me what they thought about it.
That’s when I realized how powerful journalism can
be. How you can make an impact on somebody’s life.
True, maybe not all the time — but there are times
when you can.
For me, it was really cool to be a part of something
like that.
What clubs or groups were you active in?
Other than the Gazette, I was on the Academic
Decathlon team. We’re sort of like academic Olympic
athletes. We take on teams from other schools and
answer questions from different subject fields — histo-
ry to science.
It was a lot of fun.
But I spent a lot of time on the Gazette. A lot of time.
Which school will you be attending?
Stanford. I’m looking forward to attending Stanford.
I don’t know what I’ll major in. I might go into journal-
ism or creative writing. I have some time to think about
it.
Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
I hope to be doing something that I love and some-
thing that makes a difference. Maybe I’ll be writing
some novels that people love to read. Or a reporter,
writing articles that make people think.
You know, anything is possible. I’m looking forward
to the change.

Shooting hoops is something that Libby Jelinek
loves to do. “No matter what I end up doing with
myself,” she said, “I’m sure I’ll always have time
for some basketball.”

brother Andrew, 20, attends Notre Dame
Loves: The book “Fahrenheit 451,”
movies “Clueless” and “Dead Poets Society” and TV’s
“The O.C.”

How does it feel being a senior?

It’s very surreal. There have been a few times when
I find myself walking alone down a hallway and I look
around at the lockers and classrooms. I remember
how intimidated I felt as a freshman — but that all
changed as I grew older and more experienced.
I find myself getting nostalgic and teary-eyed. I
know it sounds cheesy but that’s how I feel some-
times.
This year has been so amazing when I look back. It
seems like yesterday I was a freshman.
Favorite teacher and/or class?
My advanced placement English courses. I love
English and history. My AP English courses taught me
how to think critically and to question things. I really
enjoyed learning to do that. That course gave me a
new way to view the world.

 The three years I spent in band was a lot
of fun. I enjoyed being with everyone and
the trips we’d take. I’ll miss that.
Basketball. I loved playing basketball
and I loved being on the school’s basket-
ball team. It was something that I picked
up from Dad and my brother Andrew. I’d
watch them play and eventually started
playing with them. I love the game and I
love shooting hoops for fun. It’s one high
school experience I’ll always have with
me.
What clubs or groups were you active in?
Well aside from marching band and
basketball, I was active in the Dead Poets’
Society. I enjoyed that. We would meet
and talk about writers, poets, poems and
books. We created an online magazine
featuring our poems and stories.
I worked on the yearbook staff. That
was a lot of hard work but it was worth-
while, too. Having people tell us what a

great job we did . . . it was a great feeling.
I also worked with the National Charity
League during high school. I did a lot of
volunteer work and helped raise money
for different charities.
Which school will you be attending?
The University of San Diego. I went
down there to check it out and was
impressed by their programs and their
professors. I felt very comfortable there
and I’m looking forward to starting there
this fall.
As for my major, I don’t know. I haven’t
decided yet. I might go into pre-law or
English. Or political science. I have time to
think on it.
Where do you see yourself 10 years from
now?
It’s hard to say. I’d love to be practicing
law or working in the publishing industry.
Or maybe I’ll have a book or two written
by then.

How does it feel being a senior?
It felt great. This is what I’ve been
working for the last few years. I’m
excited and nervous at the same
time. But that’s only natural, right?
It’s weird to be leaving here after
all this time. I’ve got a lot of good

Those classes also inspired me to

that’s what I want to do with myself

Most memorable high school
experience?
The last marching band competi-

emotional for me that day. I was
standing there, in full uniform,
looking at everyone on the band . . .
and they were looking back at me.
I realized then that this was the
last time I’d experience this.
You can say I got a little choked

I was ranked third place for best

What clubs or groups
were you active in? What
do you do outside of

I love music. So I was in
the marching band, the
concert band and the
jazz band. I love playing
the trombone. I love
playing jazz. Music
allows me to express
myself. No matter what,
I’ll break out the trom-

I was the conductor for

(Almost)
college bound
Finances, laundry and other skills to
tackle the summer before leaving the nest
BY EILEEN WILSON
GRANITE BAY VIEW
Acceptance letters have
poured in — you’ve sent your
response, agonized over dorm
possibilities, and maybe even
sent a great big check.
But the work for college
freshmen has just begun.
Just because the final Granite
Bay High School bell has rung
for the class of 2010, doesn’t
mean it’s time for graduates to
sit on their laurels.
Moving away from Mom and
Dad for the first time takes
plenty of preparation, and area
experts have graciously offered
a plethora of great tips.
Daniel E. Sutton, certified
financial planner, offers finan-
cial advice that every new col-
lege freshman (and parent)
needs to know.
“Most of the time when you
send students off to college, it’s
their first experience with a
checking account,” Sutton
said.
He advises two key things —
one is investigate which bank is
convenient to the campus.
“You don’t want to open a
local bank account, then find
you will be hit with ATM fees
each time you use your debit
card,” he said. “Every $20 ends
Keeping MYPROPERTY

up costing you $2 or $3 in fees,
and that’s steep.”
Additionally, Sutton advises
parents to have their names
associated with the account, so
they can easily transfer money
and have access to it. Parents
can make sure their child isn’t
in danger of being overdrawn,
and can quickly add funds as
needs arise.
Sutton said that some major
banks, such as Bank of America
or Wells Fargo, offer student
checking accounts that offer
free checking through college
graduation.
Also, some banks offer a
service that rounds up each
debit purchase, and places the
change in a savings account for
the student. The bank will
match the change up to $300.
When it comes to credit
cards, Sutton advises students
to use their parents’ card, in
their own name, rather than a
new card, to avoid hefty annu-
al fees.
One pitfall, Sutton explained,
is when parents don’t thor-
oughly explain what the card is
for.
“Parents will give their kids a
credit card, tell them it’s only
for emergencies, but don’t tell
them what constitutes an
emergency,” Sutton said. “Par-
ents need to be very specific.”
Emergencies, in his view, are
medical problems, necessary
trips home, and cab rides if the
student is in an unsafe situa-
tion. Sutton said buying pizza
for a group of friends is not an
emergency, contrary to most
college-age kids’ opinion.
“This is not a dining card, or
for the mall,” Sutton tells par-
ents to explain. “I know people
who have received a huge cred-
it card bill, and students who
have purchased meals for oth-
er kids, and when the kids give
them cash, they pocket the
money for something else.”
Stores like Bed, Bath and
Beyond offer a free service,
which allows the student to
select items here, then pick up
and pay at a store anywhere in
the country.
Some stores will pull up col-
lege information and let stu-
dents know what is or isn’t
allowed, or dorm specifics, like
extra-long mattresses.
When it comes to packing for
college, and dorm living, Holly
Graff, a certified professional
organizer from Clutter Control
Angels in Folsom, has a few
tips.
“Don’t take too much,” Graff

said. “Kids take so many
clothes. Take only what you
need, and pack for the weather.
But just because you’re going
back east doesn’t mean you
need 20 sweaters.”
Purchase clear, sliding draw-
ers on rollers for supplies and
clothing. The unit can roll into
a closet or other small space.
Using a bulletin board to
post a checklist is key.
“Kids are so overwhelmed
with their new classes, and no
structure. They tend to feel out
of control their first semester,”
Graff said.
Leave stuffed animals and
excess clothing at home —
“they just end up getting tossed
around,” Graff said.
If you have an opportunity to
speak with dorm mates ahead
of time, do so.
“Not everyone needs to bring
a television or a printer,” she
said.
Buy a tiny desktop shredder,
and advise students to use it.
Identity theft can happen, even
to students.
Make sure your laptop has a
locking device.
“Security is an issue, and
your computers, iPods and
anything portable is at risk,”
Graff said.

WHAT TO DO THE
SUMMER BEFORE
COLLEGE
Three months is little time
to prepare for nine months
away. Certified financial
planner Daniel E. Sutton
advises the following:
• Teach kids how to
endorse checks.
• Make them do their own
bank deposits, give them
some banking experience so
they will feel good about it.
• Have them contact cus-
tomer service on their own, if
any problems arise.
• Have them make dentist
and doctor appointments
now for checkups.
• Transfer prescriptions to
a pharmacy near the school.
• Check on immunizations.
• Get copies of eyeglass
prescriptions.
• For girls, an appointment
with an OB/GYN is a good
idea.
• Make sure your kids
know basic cooking and
laundry skills.
• Consider climate when
packing. Granite Bay kids
might not be ready for the
reality of East Coast winters.
• Contact area stores for
suggested dorm packing lists.

 STEPS TO SUCCESS
For those who don’t have looming deadlines or
ambitious goals to help them get motivated to
get in shape, the MAS Web site offers these tips
to “set yourself up to succeed.”

GOALS SHOULD BE REALISTIC

“Setting attainable goals that build in success will
help to keep you motivated,” the site states.

GOALS MUST BE SPECIFIC

The Web site states, “Make sure the goal can be
measured and tracked. The clearer the point of
the whole journey is, the easier it is to stay
focused.”

GOALS MUST BE TIME-LIMITED

“Goals should have a deadline and payoff sched-
ules. There should be a long-term ‘big picture,’
but there should also be smaller, less daunting
goals to keep you on track,” states the site.

ONE MUST BE FORGIVING

According to the MAS Web site, “Make sure to
leave room for the ‘two steps forward, one step
back’ rule to apply. Have options ready that will
help you stay consistent in the face of the unex-
pected.”

REMEMBER THE VALUE OF WHAT YOUR GOAL IS

Air Force dentist goes on special mission to Arctic Circle
BY AIR FORCE STAFF SGT.
JESSICA SWITZER
HOMETOWN NEWS SERVICE
KOTZEBUE, Alaska — The
son of a Granite Bay couple
braved the bitter cold and high
winds of winter’s last rages to
bring medical care to Alaskans
living above the Arctic Circle.
Air Force Reserve Maj. (Dr.)
Michael J. Dailey, son of
Charles and Carolyn Dailey of
Granite Bay, is a dentist with
the 940th Aerospace Medical
Flight at Beale Air Force Base.
He recently offered his expert-
ise in support of Operation
Arctic Care 2010.
“As a dentist, my duties are to
diagnose and treat dental
problems. I do this by screen-
ing the kids in the schools to
find the ones who have imme-
diate dental needs, as well as
treating adults who have
signed up for an appointment,”
said Dailey, a 1988 graduate of
Lincoln High School.
He went on to receive his
Doctorate of Dental Surgery
degree from the University of
Southern California in 2001.
During Operation Arctic Care
medical, dental and veterinary
teams from the Air Force, Army
and Navy provided no-cost
medical care to Alaskans living
in remote villages who rarely
get the chance to see a medical
doctor.
“Arctic Care is important
because these villages do not
have access to regular dental
care services and many of
these people have been living
with pain from bad teeth until
we can get here to help them,”
Dailey said.
Residents of those villages
made sure to show the teams
their appreciation.
Often, local communities
held dinners and lunches for
the service members, serving
up local flavors including cari-
bou stew, muktuk (whale blub-
ber) and sheefish.
They also demonstrated sev-
eral sports activities that origi-
nally developed as survival
techniques over centuries in
the harsh arctic climate, as well
as a number of native dances.
“My favorite part of being
here is talking with the local
residents and learning about
their culture. It is amazing to
learn how people live here
where it is so different from
what I am used to,” Dailey said. Air Force Reserve Maj. (Dr.)
Alaska is a cold, frigid place, Michael J. Dailey’s parents

season.
Whether you can’t wait
to bare it all on the beach,
or if you’re still working
toward a weight loss goal,
exercise is the key to
looking and feeling great
in summer months.
But why else should
you exercise? Here are the
top 7 reasons to exercise
this summer:
Reason No. 1:
To melt fat away
The most coveted side
effect of exercise is, of
course, fat burn. The
combination of a chal-
lenging exercise routine
and a balanced meal plan
is the best known way to
lose fat.
Reason No. 2:
To alleviate pain
Regular exercise is a
great way to alleviate
chronic muscle and joint

pain. Persistent back pain
can be lessened by
strengthening your core,
and you’ll protect your-
self against injury.
Reason No. 3: To
increase lean tissue
More muscle is good
for many reasons. You
see, muscle requires
many more calories each
day than fatty tissue. In
fact, one pound of mus-
cle burns 30-50 calories
each day at rest — com-
pared to a measly nine
calories per pound of fat.
When you exercise
your body composition
will change to contain
more lean tissue, thus

resulting in extra calories
burned while you sleep.
What could be better
than that?
Reason No. 4:
To stay young
Tim D. Spector, a pro-
fessor of genetic epi-
demiology at King’s Col-
lege in London, led a
study on the effects of
exercise on aging. The
results were astounding.
They found that exercise
appears to slow the shriv-
eling of the protective
tips on bundles of genes
inside cells (called telom-
eres), which means a
slowing of the aging
process.
People who did 100
minutes of weekly exer-
cise had telomeres that
looked like those from
someone about five to six
years younger than those
who did 16 minutes of
exercise each week.

Brush up your skills this summer
School’s out —what a
great time to learn at
these summer camps
BY HEIDI COKER-
ROTHERY
GRANITE BAY VIEW
Remember counting
down the days until the
end of the school year
and anxiously awaiting
the first day of summer
break?
As children, we think of
summer break as our
reward. This is the time
where we are free to ride
our bikes for hours upon
hours, create the very
best lemonade recipe
and sell it for pocket
change on our street cor-
ners, and ultimately not
spend all day in the class-
room.
While we all love those
lazy days of summer,
sometimes all that free-
dom can make the first
few weeks of the fall
school year that much
harder.
Then there is the sum-
mer break boredom fac-
tor. This happens when
the novelty of the free-
dom begins to wear off
and kids actually hear
themselves whine, “I’m
bored!”
Summer day camps are
a terrific opportunity for
kids of all ages to enjoy a
loose schedule while
maintaining consistency
and feeling a sense of
accomplishment.
With the current eco-
nomic situation and all of
the budget cuts to educa-
tion, taking advantage of
what summer day camps
have to offer is a great
way to replenish some of
the material that has
been cut from schools
today.
Another positive factor
for summer day camps is
that our children’s minds
stay stimulated and
geared toward learning.

The heart and Solstice of Tahoe City
Sheri
Hitchings
Daytripper
Every summer Tahoe City,
located on the north shore of
Lake Tahoe, has an annual
Summer Solstice Festival.
It’s the time of the year when
the sun is farthest north of the
equator. But in Tahoe City,
from June 16-20, it’s party time!
Come visit “the Heart and
Soul of North Lake Tahoe.”
Tahoe City, located in Placer
County, is just 15 miles from
the I-80 corridor. Amuse your-
self with celebrations, dining,
beach and water sports.
Tahoe’s City’s century-old her-
itage, historic sites and muse-
ums are at your beck and call.
Long ago, the Washoe Indi-
ans made camp in Tahoe City,
and then John C. Fremont
spotted the lake in 1844 bring-
ing in the earliest settlers of
European descent. Logging
became the livelihood of many
— the loggers helped support
the mines in Virginia City.
Later, train rides to Truckee
or jaunts on the narrow gauge
rail to Tahoe City were avail-
able. The Steamer Tahoe was
another way to explore differ-
ent parts of the lake. The 1960
Winter Olympics exposed this
sleepy mountain town of Tahoe
City to the world, and now
many come for the exciting
Solstice Activities.
To kick off the activities,
beginning June 16, take a walk
downtown to enjoy the Solstice
Stroll Classic Car Show. You can
participate by voting for your
favorite cars.
On June 18, enjoy a “One
Night Only” performance with
Tahoe City’s first annual per-
forming arts show. Poets, ballet
and dance performers will be
on the Commons Beach.
From noon to 4 p.m. on June
19, enjoy the Solstice Sip and
Shop Wine Walk. Local mer-
chants will provide gourmet
food tastings.
Also on the 19th, you might
40 JUNE • GRANITE BAY VIEW

check out the PaddleFest, a
kayak and paddleboarding
event on the Commons Beach.
What to do
Independence Day: On July 3,
there will be a fireworks cele-
bration in Kings Beach begin-
ning at 6 p.m.
Market, tours and museums:
Every Thursday, the Farmer’s
Market is at the Commons
Beach from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Walking tours are also available
in Tahoe City, or you can ignite
your creative talents in pine
needle basket weaving or
nature sketching www.northta-
hoemuseums.org.
Most Beautiful Drive: Discov-
er the most beautiful drive in
Tahoe, www.mostBeauti-

cool dip in the lake.
Sports: Why not get aboard
the M.S. Dixie II for a sunset
cruise or survive a sunrise
kayak trip? If rafting is your
passion, you might explore the
Truckee River. To further whet
your appetite, try jogging,
walking, biking or skating on

Where to shop
For your “shop ‘til you drop”
needs, try the Cobblestone or
Boatworks Malls in Tahoe City.
Long ago, the Washoe
Indians made camp in
Tahoe City, and then
John C. Fremont spotted
the lake in 1844
bringing in the earliest
settlers of European
descent. Logging
became the livelihood
of many — the loggers
helped support the
mines in Virginia City.
The 1960 Winter
Olympics exposed this
sleepy mountain town
of Tahoe City to the
world, and now many
come for the exciting
Solstice Activities.
Where to stay
Some of the best accommo-
dations are River Ranch Lodge
on the Truckee River and Pep-
per Tree Inn, both in Tahoe
City, or Tahoe Crown in Kings
Beach.
Where to dine
Our favorite places to grab a
bite in Carnelian Bay are the
Old Post Office Coffee Shop for
breakfast or Garwoods Grill
and Pier for lunch or dinner. In
Kings Beach, try Jason’s Beach-
side.
Connoisseurs will appreciate
Soule Domain for romantic
dining. Other favorites are Riv-
er Ranch, Lone Eagle Bar, Blue
Agave and Truckee’s Cotton-
wood Restaurant.
Historians can affectionately
dig deeper into Tahoe area his-
tory in the nearby Incline Vil-
lage Starbucks’ complex. Old
photographs and information
make Tahoe’s fascinating histo-
ry come alive.

Local high school students

Local designers recently created

Sacramento.
The budding designers — all high

their designs for a transportation center
come to fruition. But they did receive
recognition for their hard work and
