Shutter to think
Blind Spot has bright ideas for every window in your home
BY EILEEN WILSON

hile California businesses are outsourcing and moving out of state, one area business is going stronger than ever. Blind Spot, with locations in both downtown Roseville and a gallery in Rocklin, have made this area their home for more than a decade. Owner Jeannie Noll always knew her future lay in home dcor. I always knew that I was interested in design. When I was in college, I interned with Ethan Allen. I would carry around books of fabrics and pretended I was a designer, she said. A lot has changed since Nolls college days. She went from working for one of Hunter Douglas competitors, to owning a company that deals exclusively with Hunter Douglas products a move that Noll was thrilled to make. There are a lot of things I love about Hunter Douglas. I especially love their Right Choice Promise a guarantee that the company provides, which allows homeowners up to 21 days to enjoy their new window coverings with no commitment. If the customer is unhappy with the product for any reason, they can exchange for a different product at minimal cost, Noll said. The Right Choice program is one of the reasons I wanted to be a Hunter Douglas gallery. If homeowners arent familiar with Hunter Douglas products, they should visit Blind Spots website. Blinds, shades, sheers and shutters Hunter Douglas products are as beautiful as

they are functional, and include green products, child and pet-safe products, and a huge variety of colors and styles. Noll loves helping customers create new rooms with the right window coverings. Sometimes what people think is right for their home might not be the best choice. If someone tells me she wants wood blinds, but she has seven kids, I help her choose something that makes sense for her family, Noll said. Our expertise helps people make the right decision. Gigi Sisco of Granite Bay cant say enough about Blind Spots expertise. Jeannie has been terrific in offering creative solutions for my window needs, she said. Sisco has been upgrading or

purchasing new window treatments, a process that has been ongoing for five years. When she presents a challenge such as windows that are in full sun but where she doesnt want to lose her backyard view Noll has an answer. Jeannie suggested natural shades that let the light and a bit of view in, but they keep the heat out the shades have really made a difference in how hot the room is this summer, Sisco said. I want the treatments to function, I dont just want them to be pretty. With an extensive gallery of full-sized products to browse, its hard for shoppers to make a decision. Noll said woven wood products and natural shades are popular right now. Anything with texture has really come back in style, she said. Roller shades in exciting new textures and screen shades are popular, and treatments with motorized retraction are the hot thing on the market. Shutters are also making a big comeback because they have become more affordable. Shutters come in wood, vinyl and composite, Noll said. Its kind of like a Mercedes. You can choose the C Class, the E Class or the S Class. Noll takes pride in being part of Rosevilles history. We are part of downtown, were part of the Merchants Association, and part of the revitalization, she said. Most of all, she loves the fact that Blind Spot is able to make people feel great every day. Just changing one window treatment makes such a huge difference to a home, she said.

Farm donates cream of its crop to food bank

Sales from the seasonal product and the farms other produce, including chocolate (maru), vodka, and apple (fuyu) persimmons, late Asian pears, and satsuma mandarins, allow Otows year-round donations to the Placer County Food Bank. Weve got this vision that our main focus should be to grow for the food bank, said farm operator Tosh Kuratomi. Were trying to figure out how to connect with the resources to make it happen. Placer County Food Bank CEO Dave Martinez said Otow Orchard has been supplying the food bank for many years.

Martinez said California food banks increasingly are looking to farms to make up for a drop in non-perishable donations.

It will be working with local farmers or farmers throughout California and moving produce. Chriss mother, Helen Otow, 96, works at the farm stand daily.

Hachiya persimmons in differing degrees of drying at Otow Orchard in Granite Bay. The labor-intensive process can take a month or two, depending on the season and weather conditions. After harvesting, the peeled fruit spends about a week drying in the late summer heat and is then transferred inside to air dry for a few weeks. The fruit must be routinely massaged to promote even drying and avoid mold (the white on the finished product is the fruits natural sugar).

After her father died, Helen inherited 25 acres bordering the intersection of Barton and Eureka roads. She married Seiichi Otow. Today, colorful handpainted signs greet visitors to Otow Orchard. The peeled and hung persimmons begin oxidizing within a day and softening within a week. Wrinkles form and the fruit turns white with natural sugar during a four to six-week drying process when workers hand-massage the fruit. Shortcuts in the process toughen the result. Even though its an old tradition, this is whats keeping us

on the map, Kuratomi said. Several other farms in the area produce hoshigaki, but the process at Otow Orchard sets its version apart. If we continue to make it with care well probably always have a market, he said. We do tend to have a more moist product than tradition. He added that hoshigaki should be eaten quickly or stored in the freezer to retain quality. The first batches will be ready around Thanksgiving. The farm ships produce across the United States.

Envisioning the future

Otow Orchard does not sell produce at farmers markets because of other farms that need that outlet, Kuratomi said.

Christy Kuratomi rings up customers at Otow Orchards fruit shop during the Placer Farm and Barn Tour.
He buys produce from other farmers then donates their food to the food bank. With an operation like this, more money goes out than comes in, he said. If our goal is to keep the farm active or keep it in the family, then its worth it. Last month, at an open house for the Placer County Farm and Barn Tour, Otow Orchard hosted Placer Food Bank, Placer Land Trust, 4-H and the Girl Scouts. Kuratomi has invited a bee keeper and wood splitter, among others, to use acreage at the farm. Were trying to generate some kind of community attachment to the farm, he said. We hope in the long run that its more about community than just making a living or being successful as farmers.

Screaming for ice cream at Tropical Dreams

Restaurateur imports Hawaiian brand to the mainland
BY TOBY LEWIS

DINING VIEW COLUMNIST

f youre anything like me, you really love ice cream. I do not discriminate. I believe that any time of year, any occasion lends itself to a cup of that rich, silky, creamy, sugary tastiness. Is there a better way to cap off an evening on the town, whether dining at a local restaurant or maybe coming home from a movie, than with a good scoop (or two) of sweet, buttery deliciousness? Granite Bay seems to be blessed with the gradual emergence of more restaurateurs and chefs who are raising the standard, providing a growing number of quality dining options. So we felt it appropriate with this months Dining View to highlight another new Granite Bay establishment doing just that this time with ice cream. Ed Jayousi is the man behind Tropical Dreams Ice Cream Shop, located at the Country Gables Shopping Center on the corner of Douglas Boulevard and Auburn Folsom Road in Granite Bay. Since opening last month, Jayousi says his new ice cream shop has already gained a loyal following. After a recent visit, I can see why. The secret? Short of milking the cows themselves, everything we do here is from scratch, Jayousi said. We make all the ice cream here. Our flavors do not have artificial flavoring, we use real fruit in our ice cream. Fresh ingredients aside, Jayousi says the real secret to his super premium ice cream is using less sugar, and cream that has a higher butterfat content to showcase the richness of the ice cream itself. You can actually taste the

At any given time, Tropical Dreams Ice Cream has 24 flavors ready to be ordered along with gelato and sorbet.

Jayousi now owns the manufacturing, distribution and retail rights in all of Northern California for Tropical Dreams and is using the Granite Bay store to serve as the flagship. We live in Granite Bay, he said. This is our home and our community, so it is a good place to start.

cream in every bite, Jayousi said. It has a lot less sugar than most ice creams, but it has much greater taste and flavor. Jayousi, who has owned Fins Seafood Market and Restaurant for 16 years, said he accidentally discovered Tropical Dreams Ice Cream while on vacation in Hawaii with his family. After looking to satisfy his familys ice cream craving at a local Cold Stone Creamery only to find locked doors and a sign stating, out of business, the Jayousi family opted to try the Tropical Dreams Ice Cream Shop a few doors down. We had never heard of it before, Jayousi said. We ended up being there every day, twice a day, for seven days while we were in Kauai. We fell in love with the ice cream. Turns out, Tropical Dreams Ice Cream has been produced in Hawaii since 1982 and in addition to serving various retail outlets, the brand also services many of the high-end resorts and restaurants throughout the islands. Jayousi said he contacted company founder John Edney and pitched him the idea of bringing the brand to the mainland. When I gave him my background, he was excited about it and we came to an agreement very quick, Jayousi said.

As I previously stated, I consider myself somewhat of an ice cream elitist. While I did state that I do not discriminate, I do differentiate and appreciate quality wherever it is to be found. That being said, I found the tagline of Tropical Dreams super premium ice cream to be quite appropriate. On my recent visit, Jayousi proudly served me sample after sample of the fruits of his labor, many flavors of which I was quite surprised to find at an unassuming strip mall ice cream shop.

Short of milking the cows themselves, everything we do here is from scratch.

Ed Jayousi, owner of Tropical Dreams Ice Cream

Lychee cream, Tahitian vanilla, Kona coffee almond, salted caramel, chocolate with toasted almonds, brown sugar and toasted coconut cream were but a few of my favorites. We toast the coconut ourselves before we mix it, Jayousi said. There is something about toasting coconuts that gives you unbelievable flavor, other than just throwing coconuts in there. Id have to say my handsdown favorite had to be the mango cream. Since Jayousi slow churns his ice cream, preventing air from getting mixed in and thereby producing a dense, rich ice cream, the mango cream was the creamiest, most delicious

fresh mango I had ever tasted. Tropical dreams also produces a Jack Daniels flavor. Thats right Jack Daniels. (You may not want to tell the kids about this one.) Jayousi adds about 1.5 liters of actual Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey for each 12gallon batch of the Jack Daniels flavored ice cream. You will actually taste the Jack Daniels in there, he said. Our own rule is we dont serve it to anybody under 21. The Jack Daniels flavor comes out creamy at first with very subtle hints of the famous whiskey on the back end. All told, Tropical Dreams has about 128 different flavors of ice cream, sorbet and gelato to

Dominicks Italian Trattoria offers easy holiday dining

BY SCOTT THOMAS ANDERSON

GRANITE BAY VIEW

rom southern Italy to steamy kitchens in New Jersey, the holidays are a time for gathering around massive plates of food and one Granite Bay family with strong ties to the Mediterranean tradition is making sure its easy and exquisite. Dominick and Raquel Bellizzi, along with their daughter Daniela, have made a name for themselves bringing the savory, old world recipes of southern Italy to local dinner tables since moving to the area from New Jersey. Their restaurant and deli, Dominicks Italian Trattoria, specializes in catering, particularly as the holidays approach and office parties and family get-togethers increase the demand for high-end, affordable trays of food. Daniela Bellizzi says the catering business is what actually first launched Dominicks to success. My father was an IT guy at the time, and his company moved our family here, she said. My mom and dad fell in love with the area and didnt want to ever leave. They thought the one thing that was missing was genuine and good southern-influenced Italian meals. When my dads company tried to move him again, he quit so my parents could take a chance on bringing that kind of cuisine to Granite Bay. We started with catering, and that took off so well that it launched our deli and, later, our restaurant. With Thanksgiving and Christmas on the horizon, the

Bellizzis are hoping their array of food plates will make it easier for friends and families to

be offering cold platters, cold salads, green salads, hot appetizers, pasta, meat, chicken, seafood, vegetable and barbecue dishes. The Tri-Color Tortellini is currently one of the hottest cold options the Bellizzi have put together: It includes tortellini with basil pesto dressing, parmesan, pine nuts and sun-dried tomatoes. A brand new item to the catering menu is the Chopped Antipasta Salad, with its Romaine lettuce doused in Italian meats and imported cheeses, red onions, artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, olives, cannellini beans and then flavorfully cut with a deep Balsamic vinaigrette. Another catering hit with locals in recent years has been the Penne ala Vodka. This staple is comprised of penne pasta drenched in creamy, half red sauce reduced with high grade vodka. The blend gives each heaping spoonful of penne a slight kick to its signature tang. Of all the items Dominicks will offer this holiday season, one has an enduring place in Danielas memory.

ranite Bay artists Mike and Susan Riegel open their studios to the public this month for PlacerArts 19th annual Autumn Art Studios Tour. The couple has found a balance of supporting each others work by providing feedback and getting out of the way as needed. Mike Riegels sculptures of figures guard the Riegels meditative property off of Auburn-Folsom Road, including their studios, a yurt and their home. We work next to each other and its a wonderful situation because we can enjoy watching each other develop a piece and

Mike Riegel

RIEGEL: Inspirations include family, dreams

continued from page 19 then comment on it as its getting made, Mike said. We encourage each other to get in the studio. PlacerArts Executive Director Angela Tahti said the Autumn Art Studio Tour is for people of every age. Reasons for visiting the artists in their studios range from purchasing art to enjoying the journey of the tour amidst the fall colors. We really wanted to invite the public to have an up close and personal view of the artists in their working environment to induce an appreciation of the education, tools, materials, and discipline necessary to produce original art, Tahti said. The Riegels participated in the first art tour and are back this year for the third time. Mikes sculpture utilizes his skills in blacksmithing and metalsmithing, along with figure drawing. His public art and commercial commissions include sculpture for the North Natomas Regional Park and sculptural iron gates and banisters for the Embassy Suites and Hyatt Regency hotels in Sacramento. Susan Tonkin Riegel is known for her mixedmedia pieces, which she said draw upon her active dream life and incorporate imagery from personal relationships. The work is really personal, Susan said. I think a lot times (people) connect with the layers, colors and textures. While her art has deep meaning personally, Susan said hers or any piece of art can make a
late, she said. A strong personal connection is the most common reason art is purchased. Susan has been awarded residencies in countries including Switzerland, Mexico and China. She will work at the de Young Museum in San Francisco next year. Her recent exhibition at the Alex Bult Gallery in Sacramento, California to China: Mixed Media Drawings and Paintings featured 23 of her pieces. Mike joined his wife for her residency in China this summer. He supported Susans work time by shopping and cooking. He also sketched. I really wanted to get in a place where there are no distractions so I could immerse myself in my art and in another culture, Susan said. Teaching has provided Susan and Mikes livelihoods. Susan has taught drawing and water color at Sierra College. Mike is a professor emeritus at California State University, Sacramento. The couple met in the art program there. Mike explained the process in his sculpture. We dont have any formulas for the things that we make, he said. Ideas come from when youre working. Sources of inspiration for Mikes work have included his father as well as his daughters departure for college. Of his parents, Mike said, Theyre really important to me so as much as I try to take them out of my work theyre always creeping back in.

Sometimes people cannot verbalize what has drawn them to a piece, because it speaks to them on a spiritual, emotional, psychological or intellectual level that even they cannot articulate. A strong personal connection is the most common reason art is purchased.
Susan Riegel

Susan shared qualities she likes in a piece of art. I really admire the artists that speak from the heart and that expose who they honestly are, she said. The Riegels work in separate spaces under the same roof, named Red Barn Studios. Susan has run art workshops for kids here for 18 years, although her son, Jess Riegel, has recently taken over the program. She began offering adult art workshops in 2007. I feel like in todays world people are just so

hungry for connecting with their creativity, Susan said. A lot of people are in denial that they even are creative, but everybody is. The rest of the family helps with the workshops, including Mike and the couples two grown children Jess and Allison Riegel, a filmmaker/unicyclist and multimedia artist, respectively. Workshop topics have included jewelry making, journal making, painting and batik. This month, Susan and Allison present Herbal Body Care. Due

to popularity, they added another workshop on the same topic for next month. The PlacerArts Autumn Art Studios Tour features 55 artists this year. Tahti said the tour application assesses the quality of an artists work and safety and general accessibility of their studio. Other featured Granite Bay artists include Mya Louw, who works in oil, pastel and acrylic, and Tom Caswell, new to the tour this year, who creates ceramic art and pottery.

he sign isnt up yet, but the welcome mat is out at Crushed VLVT, the new hair salon at Quarry Ponds in Granite Bay. The spacious salon has 12 rooms plus an outdoor patio in back where patrons can enjoy fresh air or staff can take a break. The rooms facing the front and back of the building have large windows. The color scheme is also light. Crushed VLVT is a Bumble and Bumble salon, meaning it offers the full-line of products by that manufacturer. There are over 70 products including everything from shampoo and conditioner to lotions and sprays. The reputation of Crushed VLVTs owners is expected to be a key element in the salons success.

Sylvestre and his wife, Shannon Marlin, also operate two Midtown Sacramento salons, Lush Salon and Spa, which is undergoing a name change to Maverick Style House, and Spanish Fly

Hair Garage. The owners opened Crushed VLVT in June. They were interested in the Roseville market and the Galleria. However, the mall fire and a subsequent lease of the Galleria space to another salon prevented the two from locating there. Later, when they heard about Quarry Ponds, they made the decision to open Crushed VLVT. Their other two salons are each 3,600 square feet. Crushed VLVT is 3,200 square feet. This is our baby, Sylvestre said. The salon is next to Hawks Restaurant. Hawks has been a favorite of ours for many years. I never thought wed be neighbors, Sylvestre said. Between the three salons, Sylvestre and Marlin have 70 employees. At Crushed VLVT, there are 11 stylists and

She moved from San Luis Obispo to Granite Bay on Jan. 19 and immediately knew she wanted to be part of the community.

That was a way we could give back to the community, Caouette said, referring to her and fellow Crushed VLVT stylist Kelsey McCains efforts to help the team. Together, the two donated two packages one for Prom Night and the second for the Winter Ball that each offered hair styles and make-up for six girls. They also donated individual haircuts and color and facials. Michele DeMello, mother of one of the cheerleaders and head solicitor for auction donations, was more than pleased. They were extremely generous in their donations and helped us earn thousands of dollars at the fundraiser, DeMello said. They did go above and beyond. It was amazing and we are extremely grateful. Their donations were the second largest received for the Cheers to Cheer auction held

in October. Caouette said she enjoys working for Crushed VLVTs owners. They are diligent and very efficient in running a business, which is effective since they just moved to the Granite Bay area, she said. She also appreciates the continuing education they provide. Throughout my career, Ive learned and grown from many successful, amazing people, she said. I love that the owners lead by example and are 100 percent involved in our education. Theyre bringing Bumble and Bumble (from New York) to our salon personally. Theyre training us to enhance our growth to be better hairdressers, she said. The owners also send teams of stylists to New York to update their education. Caouette credits that sort of training with being able to keep up with ever-changing trends in the world of beauty.

French country style comes to Granite Bay

BY EILEEN WILSON

ancel your trip to Provence this fall you can have your own personal residence in the French countryside when you purchase this stately French country home in Granite Bay. Located in the Shelborne community, where the properties are large and the acreage plentiful, the homes exterior says it all. Liquid ambers turning fiery red and yellow. Sculpted boxwood and an explosion of roses and hydrangea-infused walls and walks, the home has a European feel from its brick entry to its use of decorative hardware, to its formal pool and garden. And the European feel doesnt stop there. Floors created from hardwood fill much of the downstairs, and draw visitors to the French country kitchen, that includes walnut cabinetry, updated granite counters and center island. Rich in gold, sienna and amber, the kitchens colors are a blend of Old-World style and a beautiful color palette that is rooted to the earth. The kitchen includes an amber-colored, jeweled chandelier and a brick-front, double-sided fireplace with raised hearth so cozy on chilly winter nights that are soon to come. Double sinks are a creamy bisque with fanciful French hardware. The room has been updated with new dishwasher, compactor, and a Jenn-Air oven and four-burner cook top. The room also includes a granite-topped writing desk and an intercom system. The views from this home are that of a lovely countryside. From the tree-bower-lined path to the street in front, and the formal, Olympic-style pool in back, the home is surrounded by greenery and bursts of a

Granite Bays Annette Cooley and Debbie Waddell add figures to a nativity display at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, advertising an upcoming Christmas Nativity exhibit.

olunteers are making plans, practicing musical numbers and preparing exhibits for the annual Granite Bay Christmas Nativity Exhibit, now in its 6th year. The event displays more than 570 miniature art displays from around the world, depicting the birth of Jesus Christ. As visitors browse the nativities, Christmas music fills the halls as choirs and musicians from all over the community perform.

Last years event featureed over 570 nativities from over 60 countries, and more than 4000 visitors, said Annette Cooley, Volunteer. We even have a childrens dress up nativity scene for family pictures thats been really popular.

Event professional wins Best Industry Contribution award

The best-of-the-best in the special event industry worldwide, including Granite Bay event professional Ingrid E. Lundquist, were recognized in August at a blacktie ceremony during Eventworld, the International Special Event Society convention held in Dallas, Texas. The prestigious Esprit Award for Best Industry Contribution of 2012 was presented to Lundquist, Certified Special Events Professional, for her 2011 book, Results-Driven Event Planning: Using Marketing Tools to Boost Your Bottom Line. The book looks at events from a business perspective and guides the process from concept and design, through production to measured success. It is available on amazon.com or www.events-TLC.com The competition promotes professionalism in the global event industry by showcasing a company or individuals vision, creativity and quality of the work. The ISES Esprit Awards are judged by international experts in all disciplines of the event business. The more than 215 Esprit Award entries came from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Malaysia (Southeast Asia), the Peoples Republic of China (Hong Kong), and the United States. Awards were given in 36 categories. Also in August, Lundquists book won the Indie Excellence Book Award in the category of Marketing and Public Relations. In its seventh year, the National Indie Excellence Book Awards recognizes the best books published by small and independent presses and self published books. It has catapulted independent and small publishers books into the national spotlight, drawing attention to exceptional work being published without big marketing budgets. Our competition is unique in that it takes into account all aspects of publishing that go into making a stand-out presentation including cover design, interior layout and promotional text, said Smarketing LLC, Ellen Reid CEO, and President, sponsor of the awards. Independent experts from all aspects of the indie book industry, including publishers, writers, editors, book cover designers and professional copywriters, judge this competition. They select award winners and finalists based on overall excellence. The books submitted for the 2012 contest were donated to two libraries in West Los Angeles and to the Beverly Hills Public Library. Aiming for excellence is part of my genetic make-up, said Lundquist of her venture into the world of authorship. Creativity, careful planning and solid documentation are the backbone of my award-winning events it was only natural that the next step was to write a book about producing events. Receiving two major awards is unbelievable ... a huge surprise and a great honor!

So you might find something that you might buy from the florist but you also find roses that are just lovely in the garden.

on Ordona found that schoolwork does pay off, and sometimes, literally. Lincoln resident Ordona is a registered nurse who received a Master of Science in nursing degree from Drexel Universitys College of Nursing and Health Professions in 2010. His schoolwork in one of his classes for the masters study was a business plan that hes now successfully using to develop a new model for residential-care homes. Ordona developed the Care Home by RNs business and care model as a classroom project as a student at Drexel. Ordona said Cheryl Portwood, an assistant clinical professor and director of the leadership track, was a major influence who encouraged him to think out of the box in striving to become health care systems leaders. The idea has gone from the classroom to the real world with excellent results growing

Business plan becomes innovative, cost-saving measure for caregivers

from one California home in 2008 to five homes in 2011, with two more in the pipeline. Ordona, along with other nurses who partner with him, owns the business and helps supervise the care in a growing number of California residential facilities, including the first one in Lincoln, two in Granite Bay, and one each in Sacramento and South San Francisco. The homes are supervised by RNs/LVNs, an innovation in this category of the health system where the majority of care homes are owned and operated by non-medical professionals. Another major innovation that Care Home By RNs has pioneered was the pilot study led by Ordona in the use of a smartbed technology the first facility to use the technology in the U.S. Mats are used to measure heart rate, respiratory rate and detect movement. The technology, called Touchless Life Care (TLC) and owned by BAM Labs, Inc., allows Ordona and his team to monitor bed exits, bed turns and overall monitoring of trending in heart and respiratory rate. Ordona is a consultant to care facility owners and staff members, and helps monitor the residents. Ordona also works part time as a patient care resource nurse at UC Davis Medical Center, while studying to be a nurse practitioner at San Francisco State University. I would like to see more nurses get involved in communitybased long-term residential level of care, Ordona said. I believe that this is where the future care of our seniors is headed home-based care. Nurses being actively involved in this care will help assure that the care given in long term residential care is safe and of high quality.

Finding the optimal exercise time for every age

Deb Skelton Fitness Column

eing active is an important part of staying healthy at any age. Just by spending the optimal amount of time exercising each week, youll become healthier. Regular exercise helps to maintain a healthy weight and drastically lower your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, hypertension, various cancers, and an array of other dangerous and deadly conditions. So exactly how much exercise do you need in order to reap all the rewards? The answer to this magic question depends on your age. Keep reading to see how much you should be working out throughout life.

Children ages 6 to 17
Children and adolescents need at least one hour of physical activity every day. You may think thats an unrealistic expectation, but theres a good chance your child is already meeting this recommendation or is at least close to it. Think of recess and gym class at school, and simply running around outside after school with friends. Its a lot easier for kids to find enjoyment out of ageappropriate physical

activities, and because theyre not working fulltime jobs, they can get plenty of exercise with ease. The three types of activities kids should include in their hour of exercise are aerobic activity, muscle-strengthening exercises and bonestrengthening exercises. Aerobic activities get the heart pumping and should make up the majority of a childs hour of exercise. Examples include running, fastpaced walking, riding bikes and swimming. Children also need muscle- and bonestrengthening activities several days a week. Younger children enjoy exercises such as gymnastics, push-ups, climbing trees, playing on the jungle gym or jumping rope. Older children and young teens may prefer lifting weights or playing on a sports team.

gories: moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity exercises. Each week, adults need either five hours of moderate exercise each week or two and a half hours of vigorous exercise each week, as well as musclestrengthening activities at least two days of the week. What counts as moderate-intensity exercise? To get your heart rate up and break a sweat, it usually takes more than shopping or doing the laundry. If youre able to talk but not able to sing the lyrics to a song, then youre probably exercising at a moderate level. Activities considered moderate intensity include brisk walking,

water aerobics, doubles tennis or riding a bicycle on level ground. Vigorous exercise takes place when youre breathing fast and your heart rate is elevated. You know youre at a vigorous level if youre unable to talk without pausing for breath. Examples include swimming laps, jogging, running, playing singles tennis or basketball or bike riding on hills or at a fast pace. In addition to aerobic exercise, adults need to add muscle-strengthening exercises to their routine at least two days a week. These exercises should target all muscle groups (shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, back, hips, and legs) and

include activities such as weight lifting, push-ups, sit-ups, resistance bands or yoga.

Adults 65-plus
Adults over 65 years old who are in good physical health should aim for two and a half hours of moderate exercise or one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous exercise. You might be wondering, where do I find this optimal time to set aside for exercise? Our days are filled with chores and activities that just occur naturally as part of our life or perhaps part of our culture, without even thinking about the need to set time aside. For these activities to have this esteemed place

in our life they must have been assigned a value that is connected to our core beliefs and values. Then that is indeed what we need to do with exercise time. If we change our core beliefs about exercise and assign it a value, we will not have to set time aside for exercise, as exercise will become a part of what we do naturally. Exercise can become a regular and enjoyable part of your life. So put your optimal time in and enjoy all of the healthy rewards of being fit.

PHILIP WOOD GRANITE BAY VIEW

The Granite Bay High School cast of You Cant Take It With You perform a scene around a table where they all talk and laugh.

ver wondered what it would be like to live in a chaotic household with numerous family members? Granite Bay High Schools production of You Cant Take It With You is the chance to find out. It follows the original script of the 1938 play written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. I wanted to do a comedy that was going to showcase the talent that we have here, said Kyle Holmes, director of the drama department. Holmes became direc-

tor of the drama department this year after the retirement of Jim Prichard and is having a positive experience. This cast, theyre all fun, Holmes said. Theyre driven and they

take initiative and they know when to work and they know when to play, and I could not have asked for a better cast for putting on my first production at Granite Bay High School. The play is set in New York City and the plot follows the eccentric members of the Sycamore family, including Grandpa Vanderhof, an old man who refuses to pay income tax; Mr. De Pinna, the familys former iceman; Ed Carmichael, an amateur printer and xylophone player; and Paul Sycamore, son-in SEE STAGE PAGE 44

STAGE: Sycamores make the play relatable

continued from page 43 law of Grandpa Vanderhof and manufacturer of fireworks. When Tony Kirby falls in love with Alice Sycamore, the Sycamores supposedly senseless ways are exposed when the Kirbys show up on the wrong night for a friendly get together. The Kirbys finally accept the Sycamores for who they are, but not until they are all arrested when federal agents visit the house and discover gunpowder in the basement. The most interesting character in the play I would say is Mr. De Pinna, senior Alex Chesebro said. He comes to the family and he just ends up staying with them for eight years. They pay for all his
expenses and he lives in the house. Hes really weird and over the top and people look at him like Why did you just do that? The cast prepared for their performance with eight weeks of rehearsal, and some members faced challenges along the way. The hardest part for every play probably is lines, said senior Abby Schmalz, who plays Alice Sycamore. Timing things with school and everything can be really difficult, too. Especially if you have AP classes or classes that take a lot of time, it gets really stressful. But its so worth it, it really is. Chesebro, who plays Grandpa Vanderhof, has previously worked with Sacramento Theater Company and Sutter Street Theater Company. For this performance, he took on a more serious role than he is used to. I got to work as soon as I got the part memorizing my lines, studying the character, trying to learn how the character feels, Chesebro said. Its been a real challenge to adapt from the style that I normally prefer to come to a more serious style. Holmes is confident that the audience will enjoy the performance. I think people will enjoy this play because everyone can relate to the Sycamore family in one way or another, Holmes said. Everybody has that crazy uncle or that crazy brother or sister who does really weird stuff that they just dont understand. I think peo-

Parents + Teachers + Good Communication = Success

Sheri Hitchings You and Your Kids

Working together
When parents and the teacher work together, the child has an even better chance of learning in this extremely important venture: the education of the child. Parents can become actively involved in their childs education by regularly attending conferences with their childs teacher, being active in the PTA, volunteering at school and sharing cultural heritage. With any joint venture, communication and discussion are extremely important in facilitating a successful outcome. It involves sharing of information rather than the giving of advice. When we share information, we leave people free to decide for themselves. When we give advice, we tell someone what to do and to some degree take away their freedom to decide for themselves.

friends. It helps to share what discipline methods are in place. Tell the teacher about the childs attitude and perception of the teacher. It is helpful for the teacher to know how the student studies as well. The child should be as independent as possible, but do provide help with homework and/or test preparation, as necessary. Check it over, give encouragement and be sure your child is responsible to have homework turned in on time.

nesses in each subject and social areas. Be able to explain how much effort the child is giving in the process. Address the childs abilities and placement in any groups. A parent wants to know how the child interacts with peers and how he feels about himself. Have samples of work available to clarify growths and any weaknesses. One of the best things a teacher can do is not overload the parent with feedback as it reduces the possibility that the person may be able to use the feedback effectively. Name the positives and carefully explain what is needed for school success.

Problems need attention

Problems seem to manifest themselves at times when you least expect them. Dont wait to communicate when a problem is brewing. As well, dont expect the teacher to be a mind reader. If your child is having problems, this is a concern for the teacher as well. Teachers want to understand what is going on in the childs life that may affect school performance. Be a team with effective timely communication, and the child will thrive under your tutelage.
Sheri Hitchings is a Granite Bay resident and former educator.

GET MORE OUT OF PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES

Heres a list of questions parents may want to bring to discuss with their childs teacher: What can I do to support you? What should I expect of my slow learner, average learner or fast learner? How can I help? How do you evaluate? In what ways can I be involved? What work expectations should I have for my child? What is your method of discipline? How can we solve a problem together? What is the best way to communicate with you? How can I support your efforts? What other recommendations do you have for me? What outside programs should be considered to help my child?

Provide a clear picture

Most of all, give the teacher a clear picture and continued feedback, perceptions and feelings of what you see at home. Be succinct, noting key thoughts.

Granite Bay seniors become Blue Devils

Win national title in drum corps competition
BY SENA CHRISTIAN

he two rookies werent even allowed to call themselves Blue Devils until more than a month of rehearsing with the team. The Concord Blue Devil Drum and Bugle Corps is such a renowned and elite group that members come from all over the world to try out. Out of 150 people, only three are still in high school and two of them go to Granite Bay High School. Seniors Brian Coon and Scott Downs recently earned the privilege of becoming Blue Devils and this summer their

team won the Drum Corps International World Championships in Indianapolis. This marks the Blue Devils15th championship. As a rookie color guard, Coon, 17, was tasked with holding the American flag for 30 minutes during the final ceremony before judges announced the winner. Im like, hurry up, hurry up. I was just like, thank you for being over, Coon said. Downs, 17, was able to enjoy the moment more fully. He plays the euphonium, a brass instrument. His favorite memory from the ceremony is his instructor placing the gold medal around my neck.

It just blew me away and I knew I wanted to be part of something that incredible.
Scott Downs, Concord Blue Devi Drum and Bugle Corps

I was rehearsing just to be the best I can, so winning it was pretty amazing, Downs said. The competition wrapped up a 60-day tour across the United States, which began in California and proceeded through the Midwest, up the East Coast and then to the NFL Colts stadium in Indianapolis. The Blue Devils traveled an estimated 10,000 miles. Their caravan included three charter buses of corps members, two VIP/staff buses, two equipment semi-trucks, one kitchen semi-truck

and one souvenir trailer. The team competed in 25 shows leading up to the finals. They went undefeated the entire summer, which is almost unheard of, said Scotts mom, Linda Downs. The Blue Devils spent all day, every day together. Your life is very minimalistic, Coon said. All you do is practice 12 hours a day. It never gets old when you love it. In 2011, Coon joined the Sacramento Mandarins Drum and Bugle Corps as a 15 year old.

Last winter, he won Performer of the Year for the California Color Guard Circuit. We watched drum corps videos all the time and would basically just drool over drum corps, Coon said. He auditioned for Blue Devils in November 2011, made the waiting list and was asked to join in April. The color guard brings the story and emotions to life, he said. Their routines are designed by instructor Scott Chandler, who is also a choreographer for Glee. (As a rookie), youre expected to come to the bar veterans set and perform with all your heart, Coon said Its a big deal because its (an) entitle-

ment. Scott Downs joined Sacramento Mandarins at 14 years old in 2010, always hoping to someday become a Blue Devil he had seen them perform in 2009. It just blew me away and I knew I wanted to be part of something that incredible, he said. Scott Downs earned a spot in January. He was also recently selected for the 2013 U.S. Army AllAmerican Marching Band and will perform during halftime of a bowl game in January in front of an audience of 40,000 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.

Don White bought the Granite Bay Pak Mail with his wife Vivian in April. They also own the Pak Mail on Sunset Boulevard in Rocklin. This former trucker has gone from the solitude of the open road to helping local residents with their packing needs some of which are pretty unusual. Aside from making sure items get to their destination in one piece, the store also serves as a collection site for Cell Phones for Soldiers. The program takes unused cell phones and sells them to recyclers, using the money to purchase phone cards so soldiers can call home for the holidays.

They spent about eight months together playing tennis: working moms, single moms, married women, single women. And from their first matches at the beginning of last spring on local courts to their fall finale last month in Tucson, Ariz., Johnson Ranch Racquet Clubs 3.5 womens tennis team became one of the best in the nation. Johnson Ranch finished fourth at the USTA League National Championships in Tucson. Im just really proud of these ladies, team captain Catherine Webster said recently. No. 4 in the nation is pretty darn good. I could go on

forever. Practicing between work, mom and other everyday duties, Johnson Ranch won 13 consecutive matches and built a 13-2 record between March and June. Johnson Ranch then won section and district championships to advance to Arizona. Ranging in age from their 30s to their 60s, the players funded their team. They worked hard, got in some exercise and had a good time, according to Webster. This is an excellent example to children that even as adults, we can get out and live a healthy lifestyle, she said. Im very proud to be part of this team. In Arizona, Johnson Ranch won its flight with

a 3-0 record, beating teams from Jacksonville, Fla., Tucson and Rochester, Minn. Johnson Ranch lost to Griffiths of Central Indiana in the semifinals and to Tumonog of West Hawaii in the third-place match. Johnson Ranch had an overall record of 22-4. There were 17 teams at the national tournament, and there are roughly 4,000 teams in the nation playing at the 3.5 level, including more than 200 in Northern California, one of 16 regions in the United States. For Johnson Ranch to finish fourth? Thats very impressive from a sheer numbers point of view, member Susan Goodrich said.

where she worked, but she knew her opportunity to bond with the dog was coming to an end as she was laid off from her job. Once Stout and fellow dog lover Gary Sawyer decided to capture the dog and take her home, their search was fruitless after trying to find the animal one night. Fast forward to the next morning when Stout received a horrific phone call: The dog has been hit by a car get over here. Stout and Sawyer raced to the shop, picked the dog up, and then placed calls to several area vets. No one could take us right away, if at all, Stout said. The best offer we had was to come in after four hours. But then they made a call that made all the difference a call to Johnson Ranch Veterinary Clinic in Roseville. Dr. Karen Johnson asked them to bring the dog in right away. Hooked up to an intravenous drip and heavily sedated, its hard to get a feel for the dogs sweet personality. Wrapped in various casts, the dogs prognosis is good, but she has a long recovery ahead. We found that she had a broken humerus, Johnson said. Any time an animal is hit by a car, we do a full-body X-ray. We have found at least 15 BB shots just a spray throughout her body, and the shots arent new. Johnson said the dog is scheduled for surgery,

Veterinarian Karen Johnson sits with Old Lady, who is in Johnsons care. The dog was hit by a car and suffers from a broken humerus, and an X-ray revealed several BBs in her as well.
and its the surgeons decision if the BBs can or should come Karen Johnson out. None of the BBs seem to be puncturing any organs, Johnson said. Old Lady isnt used to having lots of people around, but that doesnt mean she isnt a good patient. Shes been very friendly she hasnt snarled or tried to bite, Johnson said. Its pretty rare to find a dog with this much pain tolerance. She didnt even have anesthesia when we splinted her. Old Lady will possibly require a surgically implanted plate, and lots of rehabilitation. Stout, who plans to take the dog home with her and start the bonding process as soon as possible, was inconsolable when the dog was injured, and even more so after discovering the abuse the dog has endured. Concerned about mounting vet bills the surgery alone will cost over $2,000 both Johnson and Stout are thrilled to see donations arrive at the clinic daily. The video of the dog went viral, and weve had donations from Southern California and even from New York, Johnson said. Im not sure what Old Ladys recovery will look like we have to get her healed a bit, first. As for Stout, all she wants is to get her new pet home. I honestly love animals, and I know that I can give her the most comfortable home possible in her final years of life, Stout said.

Puttin on the Ritz in SoCal style

BY CARY ORDWAY

ot too many hotels get songs written about them, and far fewer are memorialized the way Irving Berlin did the Ritz Hotel with his song and Broadway play by the same name: Puttin on the Ritz. Its actually a slang term that means dressing fashionably. Then theres the slang adjective ritzy meaning luxuriously elegant. The people who run RitzCarlton hotels must take great pleasure in the fact that no one is writing about puttin on the Westin or calling anything Hyatty very nice hotels one and all, but just a day late and a dollar short when you have Irving Berlin writing and Fred Astaire singing the praises of your competition way back in 1930. What a coup for the people in Ritz PR back then. Can you imagine showing up for work one morning and casually mentioning to your boss that Irving Berlin actually took you up on your suggestion to write about the Ritz? Okay, maybe he came up with the idea on his own but lets just say the bigwigs at the Ritz were not exactly displeased. They knew the reason the Ritz Hotel came immediately to mind was the stellar reputation the hotel had for providing the absolute best service anywhere. Cezar Ritz was considered the king of hoteliers and hotelier to kings because of his successful management of the Ritz Paris and The Carlton in London. Ritz was way out front in a lot of innovations that guests may take for granted today. Among the revolutionary concepts were putting a private bath in each guest room, using lighter fabrics to allow for more thor-

ough washing, white tie and apron uniforms for wait staff, fresh flowers in all public areas, A la carte dining which now offered diners a choice, gourmet cuisine and intimate smaller lobbies for a more personalized guest experience. Ritz never lived to see the first Ritz-Carlton in Boston, opened in 1927 by Albert Keller, who had bought the name from Ritzs wife and formed the Ritz-Carlton Investing Company. More hotels in the northeast followed and the rest, as they say, is history. In 1984, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel came to Laguna Niguel, bringing with it all of the luxurious amenities that are symbolized by its name. In fact, the American Automobile Association this year bestowed its Five Diamonds award on the resort for the 27th consecutive year, making the resort the longest standing AAA Five Diamond resort in California. Its location on a spectacular bluff overlooking the Pacific just south of Laguna Beach is ideally suited to its purpose. If broad, expansive views of the Pacific are what you are seeking, this is your place. Down below and easily reached by the extensive system of walking paths is a long stretch of wide, flat beach perfect for sunning in between dips in the refreshing, cool and frothy ocean surf. Our coastal view standard room had an excellent view of the expansive park area to the north as well as a long stretch of the coastline. Many working couples or small families may well choose to go with this regular-size room that is a little bigger than most standards, but not as spacious as the more expensive suites. There is no question that a stay at the Ritz-Carlton, for

RITZ-CARLTON LAGUNA NIGUEL

What: A luxurious beachfront resort that lets you live like youre rich and famous if only for a weekend. Its a total escape from everyday life, for most people anyway. Where: Located halfway between L.A. and San Diego, the RitzCarlton Laguna Niguel is situated on a 150-foot bluff with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and a two-mile stretch of beach. When: Year-round. Southern California is pleasant any time of year but you may encounter more gray overcast in May and June. The overcast usually burns off from the east and the sun reaches the coast by mid-day during the spring months. Why: You do the Ritz-Carlton because you want the very finest and dont mind paying extra for it. The hotel is known for its impeccable service and now, with its $60 million re-imagination, there are even more reasons to give it a try. How: For more information phone (800) 241-3333, or you can call the hotel directly at (949) 240-2000 or visit the web site at www.ritzcarlton.com/laguna.

who has prestigious awards from Bon Appetit magazine and was a 2011 James Beard nominee for Outstanding Restaurateur. We especially enjoyed the casualness of the Market Place, which seemed to be the answer for us since we were traveling as a family of three. The Market Place is like an upscale New York deli in that it features grab and go breakfast and lunch items as well as bakery goods to die for. The new restaurants and many of the pleasant landscapes and artwork around the hotel are all part of a $60 million multi-year renovation. The project added new facilities, modern public art, perennial gardens and completely redesigned interiors.

You dont get the feeling they must have had back at that first Ritz-Carlton in Boston where they checked to see if you were in the Social Register before booking your stay. The guests at Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel were all ages, including families with kids. During the day, most people dressed in a kind of casual elegance with definitely a more

refined appearance that you would have on the beach down at Waikiki. At night, things got a little more dressy although not overly so. Some couples were dressed to the nines; others maintained the casual elegance of their afternoon attire. As you can imagine, the restaurants at the Ritz-Carlton were among the best youll find in a resort setting. The new ocean-front 180bl outdoor lounge offers a panoramic view of the California coast while Raya is a new restaurant put together by Richard Sandoval,

As we noticed in our room, the guestrooms are decorated in sand and sea colors and offer many classic furnishings. We were impressed that the fresh flower sculptures in the lobby were not only creative, but they were different every day and coordinated throughout the hotel. With such surroundings, its hard to imagine you would want to leave the property much during your stay at the Ritz-Carlton, but the resort just happens to be located near one of Southern Californias most scenic and interesting cities: Laguna Beach. Its a five-minute drive north along the coastal highway to Laguna, an artists community that boasts an excellent assortment of trendy shops, art galleries and restaurants, all just footsteps from the beach. Weekends in Laguna Beach are fairly crowded as visitors from L.A. and San Diego take the easy day trip to shop and enjoy the vibe in this gorgeous city. A little farther north is San

Juan Capistrano, a famous town built around the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano and a tourist city best known for the annual migration of the swallows from Argentina to San Juan Capistrano. Just to the south is Dana Point, where you can explore the marina as well as several shops and restaurants in the area. Dana Point also is the jumping off point for a trip to Catalina Island, which, if you have the time, can be an easy day trip. The Catalina Express is the most popular way to get to the island, which is about a 90minute ride each way. There are five scheduled departures from Dana Point each day. All and all, its hard to beat the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel if youre looking to blend a luxurious, pampered resort stay with one of Southern Californias most scenic beaches. You just wont want to go home. In fact, the only real problem with puttin on the Ritz is taking it off.
