GRANITE BAY VIEW • JANUARY 3

There’s something about flipping thecalendar from

December to January that inspires me to be abetter me.

I want to learn new things, spend more time

with friends, catch up with my scrapbooking (I’m two vacationsbehind) and cut downmy stress level in 2011.

But something Mar-cello Montagnino atGold’s Gym in GraniteBay said made merethink New Year’s reso-lutions.

He said every week iskind of like a mini-year.

We start Monday withthe best of intentions,then as we get closer to

the weekend, we fall outof our patterns andoverinduldge with foodand drink (sounds likethe holidays, huh?).

When Monday comes, we want to return to ourgood habits.

So every Monday can

be like Jan. 1.Heck, every day can be

a chance to start new. Why not start living life well – right now?

For 11 healthy habits you can start any day of the week, check out our11 resolutions on page 4.

We asked some localexperts where to begin

with everything fromdecluttering the houseto dropping those lastpounds. These tips canimprove your physicaland mental health in thenew year.

We also interview aGranite Bay chiropractor

who’s been keeping peo-ple in line (literally) for25 years – see page 30.

And meet Sovy

Medved chef/owner of Pullman Kitchen andCatering, who shares herlife (and her cuisine)

with us.

4 JANUARY • GRANITE BAY VIEW

BY MICHELLE CARLGRANITE BAY VIEW

From dropping those lastpounds to working on yourrelationship with your

partner, these 11 health-relatedgoals will have you enjoying 2011.

1. Get fit A new year is a chance to

start fresh.“I think, like anything else,

the new year brings a rejuve-nating newness. You want tostart the year fresh with goals,”said Marcello Montagnino,director of operations at Gran-

ite Bay Gold’s Gym. “Getting inshape and losing weight are onpeople’s minds. They feel theguilt of a whole year of doing the wrong things.”

So what’s the secret to keep-ing on the fitness bandwagon?

“You’ve got to get throughthree months to make it ahabit, make it a lifestyle, notsomething where you say, ‘Hey,I want to lose 20 pounds’ andthen go back to doing every-

thing you were doing wrong again,” he said.

Stick with it and the benefits you’ll reap are many — fromeliminating prescription med-ications, losing body fat,increasing muscle mass andimproving your heart health with cardio.

“All those things are a really cheap insurance policy moving forward in your health,” he

said.

2. Stop smokingJust 24 hours after stopping

smoking, your chance of hav-ing a heart attack decreases.

Is that reason enough toquit?

Make this the year you say goodbye to nicotine. The American Lung Associationhas a Freedom from Smoking support website (www.ffson-

line.org) that will help youalong the way. If your health was never enough of a reasonto quit, how about your pock-etbook? The association likensquitting to giving yourself a

$2,000 bonus from your pack-a-day habit.

Kaiser has smoking cessationclasses available for members.Sign up at (916) 746-4369 andSutter Roseville offers classes as well. Call (916) 781-1446.

3. Spend more timewith the family

Want to re-energize, recoupand refocus? Start with yourfamily says David Chervick, alicensed marriage and family therapist who owns GraniteBay Family Therapy. And itdoesn’t have to be a grandvacation.

“It doesn’tcost anything to have a fam-ily meeting after dinner. Itdecompresseseveryonecoming homefrom stressfuloutside dis-tractions,” he said. “It not only strengthens the family, but hasa powerful influence on how

kids and adults feel aboutthemselves.”

Although there is a lot of neg-ative emphasis on family inmedia and technology, a strong family unit is good for every-one.

“Family is the smallestgrouping of society,” Chervick said. “If that group is working well, they can help the rest of the world work well.”

4. Stamp out stressThe 2010 Stress in America

report confirmed it — we’restressed out! Money, work andthe economy are the most-often cited sources of thisstress, and it’s making us irrita-ble, fatigued and unmotivated,according to the survey com-missioned by the AmericanPsychological Association.

And telling someone to just

relax, well, it’s easier said thandone.

David Chervick takes a dif-ferent approach to stress man-agement. He uses hypnosis with his patients.

“It interrupts negative self-talk and replaces it with posi-tive,” he said.

Chervick makes an mp3 of aclient’s trance state, so they canplay back positive affirmations(in their own voice) to helprelax at the end of the day.

Some other helpful tips from

the APA for stamping out stressin your family:

Evaluate your lifestyle — Ask yourself, how do I respond tostress? How could my coping skills be improved?

Talk about it — If you notice achild is worried, ask him or herabout it. Communication canhelp the family tackle the stres-sor together.

Create a healthy environment— Your surroundings can alle-viate stress. Get rid of clutter.

Focus on yourself — When

we’re stressed, we fall into badpatterns. Put yourself first by eating well, exercising and get-ting sleep.

Change one habit at a time —Focus on getting more exercise,

experience the success, andthen move on to nixing that

fast food habit.

5. Get organizedFeeling a little overwhelmed?

Look around you – your clut-tered home may be to blame,says Dawn Cannon of Finley Organized.

“Visually, the stuff around you is closing in on you,” theLoomis-based Certified Profes-sional Organizer said.

The emotional effect of clut-

ter is huge, but it also takes atoll on your time (spending 20minutes to find misplaced con-cert tickets) and money (buy-ing a iron when you already have one in the back of thecloset).

Cannon recommends start-ing small. Call for a free consul-tation with aprofessionalorganizer

(many offerthem).Instead of tackling the whole house,start with your bed-room, or evensmaller — your sock drawer.

The first step of any organi-zation project is always purg-ing, she said. Try to live by Can-non’s cardinal rule of purging.

“Don’t keep anything out of fear or guilt,” she says.

If you find yourself saying “What if I need it someday?”that’s fear — and not a goodreason to keep an item.

6. Help your kids achieveHolly Hills of Holly Hills Life

Coaching for Kids knows kidshave a lot on their plates.

She has been coaching kidsfor five years as a substitute inthe Eureka School District.She’s also a certified life coach.

“Before they can go farther toachieve their goals, they haveto feel good about themselves,”she said.

Hills has four steps for help-ing your child succeed:

Establish their goals — Brain-storm ideas and make a list of the areas they would like toimprove upon. Prioritize thegoals from most important to

least.“A fun activity you can do with your child is to create adream board,” she said. “Col-lect a bunch of old magazinesand cut out pictures of thethings that they enjoy doing and would like to do or be inthe future.”

Motivation — These are thereasons your child will want tosucceed. This should be some-thing your child connects to onan emotional level. How will itmake them feel if they accom-plish their goal?

Obstacles — What mightkeep your child from succeed-ing? Could be lack of confi-dence, self-doubt, feeling overwhelmed, lack of time or

maybe fear of failure.Strategies for Success —

These are the tools or methodsthat help your child overcometheir obstacles. Some strategies you can use include:

• Focus on their strengths• Listen to what they want

and feel

• Make sure the goal is aboutthem and not you

• Create a reasonable actionplan

“Keep them accountableeach step of the way, whileencouraging and praising themfor each successful step,” Hillssaid.

7. Keep your brain activePicking up a sudoku habit

just may mean better brainhealth.

A number of studies indicatethat maintaining strong socialconnections and keeping men-tally active as we age mightlower the risk of cognitivedecline and Alzheimer’s,according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

All the other healthy things

you do for you body (eating well, exercise) also help wardoff Alzheimer’s, which isexpected to affect nearly 16million Americans by the year2050.

So keep doing those cross- words and make sure to inter-act with friends and loved

ones. Check out the “BrainHealth” section at www.aarp.org for more news,tips and games.

8. Loose weightOn-again off-again diets

don’t work when it comes tolosing weight, says MarcelloMontagnino, director of opera-tions at Granite Bay Gold’sGym.

“You need to make a com-mitment as a lifestyle, not atemporary diet, diets don’t work,” he said.

Set a goal, but be realistic.Two or three pounds a week isa good weight-loss goal, hesaid.

It also is a good idea to enlistsome help. Roseville Health & Wellness Center offers group

weight loss classes.Certified health coach andpersonal trainer Tamara Wheeler instructs on exerciseand basic nutrition (see No. 9).

“Losing weight in groupspushes one beyond what they would normally do alone,” Wheeler says. “The group chal-

lenge encourages, motivates,convicts, and brings accounta-bility that result in success.”

Group weight loss partici-pants meet twice a week on thetwo topics, which she says arecrucial for weight-loss success.

For exercise, Wheeler createsa personalized workout thatincorporates cardio to increasemetabolism, endurance andstrength training, core and bal-ance. The program needs tochange in intensity, becausethe body can adapt resulting ina weight-loss plateau, she said.

9. Eat healthyIn her group fitness classes at

Roseville Health & Wellness,Tamara Wheeler skips the diet-ing approach and focuses on“clean eating.”

“I teach the group about tak-ing one negative thing out aday and replace it with a posi-tive, rather than an all or noth-ing approach that feels over- whelming to most,” she said.

Start by taking out refinedsugar, artificial and processed

foods, calorie-dense food, andstart avoiding saturated and transfats.

“The main purpose for food isto fuel the body and by putting the above things the body isunable to break it down effective-ly causing more harm than good,” Wheeler said.

She also addresses emotionaleating, so clients realize the pow-er they have allowed food to haveover their life, and label reading,so they know what’s going intotheir mouths.

“The goal is for them tobecome mindful eaters ratherthan mindless,” Wheeler said. “It’sabout awareness to empowerthem to better choices leading

them to positive results.”

10. Try something newGetting out of your rut and take

up something new. It may lead toreawakening your senses, viewing life differently and maybe evenmore fulfillment.

Want to try watercolor? Learn

to decorate a cake? How to salsa?Sierra College’s Community Edu-cation program Kaleidoscope willhave you learning something new. Spring classes are enrolling now. Visit www.sccommed.org tobrowse classes.

Or look to your gym.The newest thing at Gold’s Gym

is Thai boxing. The class will have you kicking and punching withgloves into pads.

“It takes out stress and the car-dio gets you in shape fast,” saidMarcello Montagnino, director of operations at Granite Bay Gold’sGym.

Gold’s has more than 50 timespots with classes ranging fromcycling to kickboxing to weighttraining.

“Classes are one of the biggestassets here,” Montagnino said.

“They incorporate fun, instead of coming in, getting on themachines and going through themotions.”

Classes are a great way to learnsomething new, but it can be assimple as shaking up your daily routine.

Try that new restaurant, drive

home a different route, or wear adifferent color.

11. Strengthen yourrelationship

“The buddy system in life is abetter system,” says David Cher-vick of Granite Bay Family Thera-py.

So why not work on your rela-tionship in the new year?

For couples, stress can comefrom missed and mis-communi-cations, he said. De-stressing communication can have animpact on a couple’s level of hap-piness and support for oneanother.

“Here in our area, we have ahealthy, affluent community. Butthere is a sense of some isolation— a less talk and more worry atmosphere,” he said. “We want

to bust through that in the new year and take a strong, vitalstance of healing ourselves sothen nothing can break us down.”

Chervick suggests you take your partner to a place of healing (be it a couples massage or coun-seling session) to work on yourhealth together.

BY LIEN HOANG

GRANITE BAY VIEW

I

n a suburb known for its wealth and high-profile resi-dents, Sovy Medved has no

qualms about calling hereatery a hole in the wall.

Pullman Kitchen & Catering almost is a hole in the wall. Itsits inside the Quarry Pondsshopping center, 5550 DouglasBlvd., without access to theparking lot. Its 400 square feetare jammed behind other busi-nesses, past which one must walk to reach the hallway lead-

ing to Pullman.Medved took over this sum-mer, amending the name withher title – Chef de Cuisine –rather than completely chang-ing it.

“I don’t want to rock theboat,” she says.

The attitude belies an unas-suming personality born of modest but learned roots.

Medved grew up in Cambo-dia, where her brother’s gov-

ernment connections helpedher land a student visa to theUnited States in 1974. As the world began to learn about thehorrors of Pol Pot and the worstgenocide since the Holocaust,Medved’s visa became that of arefugee and she settled herepermanently.

She never again saw hermother, who died of starvationamid the killing fields. That’spart of the reason Medved hasa soft spot for the elderly. Tothem and to children, she reg-ularly hands out brownies andcookies from her restaurant.

She has a particular love formilitary servicepeople. A few years ago she approached aFolsom veterans hall hoping torent out its industrial kitchenfor her catering jobs. The mem-bers did her one better: They let her use it free, and she

repaid them with occasionalmeals. Medved now partici-pates in the activities of localveterans groups and welcomesthose down on their luck toPullman for a prepared meal.

“I will be there for thembecause they were there forme,” she says.

Pullman is Medved’s latest workplace of roughly 10 in the

area, since she moved up fromthe Bay Area in 2004.

Three months into working at Eskaton – the job thatbrought her here – Medved

received a diagnosis of breastcancer, which she fought for a year, successfully.

The struggle got her thinking about a healthful lifestyle, and

after developing more nutri-tious recipes, she introducedCuisine for Fitness. Throughthe program, patrons sign up

for prepared meals that are low in fat, sodium and cholesteroland that they can take home.

It’s one of the personaltouches Medved has broughtto Pullman. Now in her 50s,Medved wanted the restaurantfor four years, but formerQuarry Ponds developer LisaPowers didn’t approach her with an offer until this summer.

That was in the middle of anugly imbroglio to keep the cen-ter from foreclosure, whenPowers courted entrepreneursto hike up occupancy to 77 per-cent from 51 percent.

Her arrival so impressed HalKinney that after he ate at Pull-man in late November, he wrote to Food Network’s “Din-ers, Drive-ins and Dives” tofeature Medved’s restaurant.

“(Host Guy Fieri) puts a lot of

people on the map, and that’s what I was trying to do forthem,” Kinney says, calling Pullman’s deliciously inexpen-sive offerings “unusual.”

Pullman’s menu offers stan-

dard American food, fromchicken apple sausage to a bar-becue pulled pork sandwich(each $6.95) to grilled ribeyesteak ($14.95). But some of themore popular items – a break-fast burrito with chorizo ($6.95)

or Thai red curry with chicken($9.95) – reflect the interna-tional touches Medved wantsto bring.

The daily specials and soupsare a prime stage for such

experimentation. Line cook Alex Derevyanchuk said whenhe tried Ukrainian borscht oneday, it sold out immediately.

Next, Medved wants to intro-duce three kinds of carpaccio:Italian, Vietnamese and Cam-

bodian.Outside work, Medved likesto hike and watch reality TV.She is also on the advisory board at the Institute of Tech-nology in Roseville, which is

the alma mater of her externchef, John Barringer.

He is using the externship atPullman to fine-tune his craft,especially learning fromMedved’s eye for customerservice.

“If I could become half that,I’ll do well.” Barringer says.

Medved, who retained herex-husband’s surname and herCambodian accent, nevercooks for herself or eats Pull-man food because she sees itdaily.

Instead she eats out and isgrateful.“A bowl of rice, a bowl of

soup,” she says, “I think, ‘Thank goodness I have this food infront of me.’”

GRANITE BAY VIEW

Last month the GraniteBay Rotary learned abouttoday’s risks for teen drug and alcohol addictionthrough a free workshopoffered by the Coalitionfor Placer Youth.

Alan Baker is one of thecoalition speakers, and aparent of a Granite Bay High School graduate.

“Every community hasa story about drug andalcohol abuse,” Bakersaid. “Granite Bay’s story is about prescriptiondrugs and alcohol. The

kids are abusing pre-scription drugs and alco-hol which they easily obtain from our homes.”

According to Baker,teens surveyed reportthat parents are supply-ing alcohol, and by 12thgrade 20 percent of thefamilies will allow otherteens to drink in theirhouse.

The Coalition for Plac-

er Youth presentationsfocus on the proactive,positive ways parentsand other adults can helpteens and tweens choosea safe and sober journey into adulthood. STANDand support the gooddecisions our youthmake every day:

S: Secure, monitor and

dispose of over-the-counter and prescriptionmedicines

T: Talk to your teenabout alcohol and drugs;have clear expectationsfor not using or abusing

A: Don’t provide alco-hol to minors

N: Network with otherparents. Know your teensfriends and their parents.

D: Drug test your teen,because you care andtheir life matters. It’s agreat excuse for your teento say “no” to their peers

Granite Bay Rotary member John Burk

attended the coalitionpresentation in Decem-ber.

“I was surprised thatthe brain is still develop-ing until age 22-25, andthat teen drug and alco-hol use can interfere withits development. Also, I was shocked to learnhow common it is foradults to serve alcohol toteens in their homes,”

Burk said.To schedule a work-

shop for your parentgroup or club, contactShari Crow at (530) 889-7238 or visit the website www.coalitionforplacer youth.org.

BY SENA CHRISTIAN

THE PRESS TRIBUNE

I worried I might be in for anevening of trouble when my dining partner and I debated

over the proper term for “wineexperts” as we walked throughthe doors to the Back Wine Barin Folsom.

We had no clue.Much later, I’d find out that

term is “sommeliers.” Clearly, Iam not a wine aficionado.

I learned a lot on this little wine bar adventure, whichbegan with a struggle finding the tucked-away 900-square-foot venue located in a discreetcorner of the Parkway shop-

ping mall on Blue Ravine Roadand East Natoma Street.For other easily lost patrons,

don’t loose hope. Keep circling until you find this hidden gembecause the wine selections —more than 30 varieties — andtasty appetizers and dessertsare worth a few minutes of frustration.

Once inside, the low-lit barprovides an intimate, but notintimidating, setting. Several

rows of wine bottles line the wall behind the bar, serving asthe prominent piece of art inthe simple and sophisticatedatmosphere.

Our waiter kindly assisted with our wine and food deci-sions, refraining from even atinge of pompousness in hisvoice as he gently corrected my massacre of the wines’ names.

The bar offers wine by three-ounce tastes, six-ounce glassesor by the bottle. They specializein small-production and hard-to-find wines from around the world. Beers are also available.

I selected two tastes, one a white wine called Syrah Roséby Pink Girl Wines in Napa Val-ley — only available in about30 northern California restau-rants — and the other a red wine, Barbera, from AmadorCounty.

The menu describes theSyrah Rosé as full-bodied withstrawberry, raspberry andcherry fruit taste. I’d say thatsounds about right. All I know is the yummy liquid went

down smooth, crisp and light.

The Barbera, true to the menu’ssuggestion, tasted like a blue-berry and cherry pie.

Clearly, the Back Wine Bar isrun by people who know whatthey’re doing. Owners Jeff andGail Back officially opened theplace in June 2008. Althoughthe couple’s first business ven-ture, Jeff, a certified sommelier,previously spent 16 years in therestaurant industry designing wine lists.

On this particular evening,my guest and I joined abouteight other customers, includ-ing a single lady chatting upthe bartender, a couple and agroup of four friends — oneoverheard calling this “theplace to be.” The laid-back, yetrefined, atmosphere is ideal fora night of socializing.

Patrons can also reserve theBack Wine Bar for private par-

ties. The bar area holds about30 people and an additional 20people on the patio, weatherpermitting.

After selecting my wine, it was time to eat!

The menu exclusively boastsa selection of 10 diverse appe-tizers, including severaloptions for vegetarians, whichis my benchmark for fine din-ing or, at least, a place where I,as a non-meat eater, can chow

down.Carnivores can choose thesteak sandwich, turkey panini,prawn cocktail or Hawaiian ahipoke. I declined a tasty-sound-ing artisanal cheese plate

because I absolutely refuse tospend more than $10 on anappetizer — out of some arbi-trary principle — and this itemcost $14.

The menu also included amache and heirloom squash

salad. Mache, for those whodon’t know, is a sweet and nut-ty-tasting lettuce. I know thisbecause I looked it up on theInternet. Apparently, mache ishighly perishable and delicate.

The food we ordered arrivedpromptly. The housemade

bruchetta, for $9, was scrump-tious. The plate featured fourtypes of toppings on Frenchcrostinis rubbed with garlic. When food is rubbed with gar-lic, you know it’s going to begood.

My favorite one was covered with a basil and walnut pesto,roasted tomatoes and moz-zarella. Another bruchetta had white bean and roasted pep-per, and the third option fea-

tured fresh herbed LauraChenel goat cheese handcraft-ed in Sonoma County. Addedbonus: Chèvre is higher in pro-tein and lower in fat than cow’smilk cheese.

The final bruchetta wastopped with mushroom dux-elles — a finely chopped mix of mushrooms, shallots andherbs sautéed in butter andturned into a paste — androasted pepper puree.

My guest ordered a mini piz-za, and because I subscribe tothe “what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine” philoso-phy, I eagerly sampled half hisappetizer. This pizza, for $7,pleased my taste buds with itsmix of artichoke hearts, roastedtomato sauce and herb goatcheese.

For dessert we ate the Crèmebrûlée, for $7. Simply put, I

thoroughly enjoyed this meal.In fact, I believe my final wordsupon departing the Back WineBar were, and I quote, “Wasn’tthat delightful? I feel delight-ed!”

A delightful way to enjoy food and wine

GRANITE BAY VIEW

W hether it’s becoming more health conscious,or being more adven-

turous and trying new things, it

seems that everyone has a New Year resolution come Jan. 1.

And for those who are inter-ested in trying something new,Granite Bay has a hot new restaurant, and a hot new din-ing idea.

Tapas. While tapas isn’t new to

European diners, the idea is just beginning to take off in theSacramento area, and own-

er/chef Irie Gengler is making his name known in Granite Bay and Roseville.

“Tapas means ‘to top a glassof wine’ and comes from Old World Spain,” Gengler said.“The practice involved putting small, flavorful plates on top of the filled glasses.”

Gengler said that most tapasrestaurants in the United Statestypically include Spanish dish-es, but he is changing up the

menu to showcase his talentfor international cuisine.

Gengler got his start at Roy’sin Maui, a restaurant wellknown to those who enjoy vis-iting the islands. He went fromHawaiian fusion, to Spago inChicago, then to Brix in Napa Valley, the Firehouse in Sacra-mento, and Crush 29, righthere in Roseville.

“I really love wine, and I havefriends in Sacramento. I havebeen searching for a restaurantopportunity for almost a year,”Gengler said. “This community is ready for global tapas — afun way of eating.”

Fun, fresh, and healthy.Gengler includes the freshest

ingredients in his tempting tapas dishes.

“I serve King salmon freshfrom Alaska or the Copper Riv-er. At a white-tablecloth restau-

rant the dish would cost $30 ormore. I can do it here, in asmall plate, for far less,” hesaid. “I have a relationship withan aquaculture ranch andreceive deliveries of fresh bass

and sturgeon — the fish are

delivered still alive.”The Caribbean shrimp dishis one of visitors’ favorites, as well as the cheese plate, whichincludes manchego fromSpain, carmody from Point

Reyes and blue cheese from

Petaluma.“I have created all these rela-tionships over the years withfarmers and different purvey-ors,” Gengler said. “I use thoserelationships to source out the

best ingredients that I can.”

Gengler’s numerous contactsallow him to write a new menuevery day.

“I have a lot of Asian influ-ences, Mediterranean, Italian,”he said.

And business is on the rise.

“The response has beengreat,” Gendler said.Open for less than three

months, Gengler remodeledthe restaurant formerly knownas Toast, creating a more

dining atmosphere.“We’re becoming that neighbor-

hood restaurant — a place thatpeople are telling all their neigh-bors about,” he said. “We’ve hadreturn customers in here severalnights in a row. It works because we have a different menu every night.”

Gengler plans to expand his wine list, and will offer 80 wines by

the bottle and about 20 by theglass.

Kathleen Gonzalez, a recent cus-tomer, enjoyed Source dishes while wine tasting at Capital Cellars, which recently opened its secondlocation in Quarry Ponds.

“A very nice waitress from Sourcecame to serve us, and stopped by

several times to make sure every-thing was OK,” Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez has spent time inSpain, and enjoys the small plateconcept.

“I love sampling a wide variety of foods. I always loved that in Spain,and now it’s catching on here. I am

one of those people who can’tdecide what I want to order. Withsmall plates, you can order severalthings, and we can share and try everything — that’s the way to eat.”

Gengler looks forward to part-nering with Capital Cellars —enjoying a reciprocal relationshipin which customers can enjoy foodand wine from both establish-ments.

“In summer when the weather isnice, Marcus (the owner of CapitalCellars) and I will book some liveentertainment, too,” Gengler said.“I want this to be a destinationcenter where people have greatfood options. There’s a lot of new energy in the Quarry Ponds Cen-ter.”

On a rainy Dec. 18, theGranite Bay Rotary Clubheld its annual Pancake

Breakfast with Santa at theOlive Ranch School in GraniteBay. Nearly 300 guests were

treated to a hearty breakfast,holiday face-painting, Christ-mas stories, and of course a sit-down with the jolly Man in Redhimself.

Proceeds from the event were split between the EurekaSchool District and the Rotary of Granite Bay, which channelsthe funds directly back intocommunity events and causes.

One such Rotary event is the

Christmas Basket program, which sent out 135 Christmasbaskets this year, according toMike Baker, who co-chaired thePancake Breakfast with Santa.

But for Alison Rudig, whoalso co-chaired the breakfastand is the new Rotary Clubpresident-elect, the event isvery much about the joy itbrings to the children in thecommunity.

“We’re just getting the kids

here and you get to see theireyes light up with Santa,” shesaid.

Eric Lopez, 5, and Santa (aka Ray Jones) pose for photos.Jones has been volunteering with the Rotary Club for 22years.

Mirabelle Lapenna, 5, asks Santa (aka Ray Jones) for ginger-bread-making and crayon-making machines for Christmas.According to Jones, kids’ requests are getting more andmore tech-savvy, “Some of these kids know more about elec-tronics and computers than I do,” he said. His strangestrequest: a spaceship.

Deacon Ogden, 3, shows offhis most straightforwardrequest from Santa: a candycane to top off a hearty pan-cake breakfast.

“The kids are really fun. (Initially) they don’t want

to come over and see me but they’ll stare at me

from a long ways away, and then they’ll walk

around their parents’ legs holding on and looking,

and then some of them will wave.”Santa Claus (aka Roy Jones)

“The closet has rotat-ing racks, which allow her to rotate her summerand winter wardrobes,”Dixon said.

Additional bedroomsare oversized and all have

their own bathrooms andmany have window seats with views.

But for the teenager inthe house, the upstairs, which includes a bonusroom with walnut cabi-netry, and very privatebed and bath, will be thefavored hangout.

“The private bedroom

would be a perfect in-law quarters, too,” Dixonsaid. “The home works alot of different ways, andpeople really like themaster — it’s very luxuri-ous.”

Dixon explained thatthe home is very peoplefriendly, is in a great area,on a great lot, and islocated on the quiet endof the Granite Bay Hillssubdivision.

“The drama of thishome creates a lot of interest, and it’s attrac-tively priced,” he said.

course, or fail to main-tain current rates, expecthome prices to fall. Thereality is that buyers buy based on the paymentthey qualify for — notprice. As rates raise, thatpayment buys less house.

When that happens toone buyer, they get asmaller house. When it

happens to all buyers,home prices fall.

Lending StandardsGiven the increasing

call to limit or even elim-inate the role govern-ment-supported enter-prises like Fannie Maeand Freddie Mac play inmortgage lending, it ishighly unlikely that lend-ing standards will loosenanytime soon. If any-thing further tightening may be in store. Tighterlending standards resultin fewer qualified homebuyers leading to lowerdemand and ultimately lower prices.

New Tax Credits orHousing Stimulus

At the moment it

seems highly unlikely that we’ll see tax creditsor other direct housing stimulus in 2011. If any-thing the tax credits thatended earlier this yearlikely pulled futuredemand into 2010,essentially stealing demand from 2011.

Mortgage InterestDeductibility

Our unprecedenteddeficits in the federalbudget have broughtsome to call for the endof the mortgage interesttax deduction. Clearly the removal of thishomeownership incen-tive would be a blow to

the housing market.

Property TaxesOur state is facing

unprecedented short-falls. As they search fordollars to make up forrevenue losses, property taxes will continue to beseen as potentially fertileground from which toharvest. This will beespecially true here inour state, where Prop. 13limits annual increases.

Help for DistressedHomeowners

I’m not confident thatmost troubled borrowers

will ever get real help.The average foreclosurein California is $150,000under water on a house

that’s now worth$250,000. While that lostequity may be recoveredover many years thanksto inflation, it’s hard tomake a financial case forthat being a sensible con-tinued investment.

Clean a filth Fido e en in inter




BY MARGARET SNIDER

GRANITE BAY VIEW

Picture a day at the lake with the family dog.Romping, playing, throwing sticks — getting very dirty. Think about returning to your clean,

well-kept home. Imagine the dog getting a coldhose-off in the yard (cold for the one doing the hos-ing, too), or tracking through the house to the bath-tub for a wash and all the mess that entails.

The new self-service dog wash at Douglas Feedand Pet Supply in Granite Bay solves the problem. You can thoroughly wash and dry your dog with aminimum of mess and fuss and arrive home freshand clean. All this is at half the cost of a wash by agroomer, and without the need for an appointment.

Just walk into the store with the dog on a leashand sashay to the special washroom in the left rear.Secure your pet with the leash in one of the tubs, gopay for the service, come back and wash.

Owners Craig and DeeDee Lyman installed theself-service dog wash in space that used to be stor-age, and went into operation last month.

“We asked quite a few customers, and they allthought it would be a great idea,” DeeDee Lymansaid.

Several customers used the wash the very first weekend. Employee Aramis Lively bathed both of

her dogs.“It was so easy and convenient to use,” she said.“It is difficult to bathe my dogs at home becausethey slip in the bathtub . . . These tubs have a non-slip surface that allows the dogs to feel more com-fortable, and what a relief to not have to clean up allof that messy pet hair!”

The Lymans bought the business three years ago.The store has been on Douglas Boulevard for 31 years, and with the present name for 25 years. In2009 the Lymans won the Business of the Year awardfor Most Charitable Business from Granite Bay Roseville Chamber of Commerce.

“We’re probably going to have one Saturday amonth based on all proceeds going to the nonprof-its,”said Craig Lyman, speaking of the self-service wash. “If we do a hundred dogs at $15 per dog, it’s adecent check to write to them.”

The cost is $15, and there is a wash club for $45per animal per month, allowing unlimited washesduring business hours. The dog wash has three tubsfor large dogs, and one for smaller animals.

Quarter century of business means plenty of adjustments




BY ROBBIE ENOS

GRANITE BAY VIEW

T wenty-five years havepassed since Dr. Ronald E.Geiger, D.C., opened up

his practice as a chiropractor. When asked what he hopes tocome in the future, Geiger

cracked a smile and respond-ed, “Hopefully, another 25 years.”

It was 1986 when Geigergraduated with honors fromPalmer College of Chiropractic.He was inspired to become achiropractor after developing painful headaches after a JiuJitsu injury. When he was firststarting to develop theseheadaches, he started taking large amounts of extra strengthExcedrin, a pain killer.

“The pills were working, butthe headaches kept getting worse,” he recalled. “I startedgoing through a bottle of aspirin about every week and ahalf. Somebody referred me toa chiropractor, and in my mindI had negative images of a chi-ropractor.”

After two years of headacheproblems, he decided he had

nothing to lose and paid a visitto a chiropractor. He gotadjusted, his headaches disap-peared, and Geiger’s path to hiscareer was paved.

The job of a chiropractor is tokeep motion in the spine. According to Geiger, medicalstudies and journals have beenpublished showing evidencethat not only does an injuredspine limit range of motion,but it also shortens life

expectancy.“A chiropractor’s job is to

keep motion in the spine andadjust areas that are out of position,” Geiger said. “We want to keep the spine healthy.If you’re keeping the spinehealthy, keep motion in thespine, you minimize arthritisand have a longer, healthier,greater quality of life.”

Chiropractors start off withthe same training as medicaldoctors, and according toGeiger it actually takes morehours to become a chiroprac-tor than a medical doctor. Allchiropractors take pre-med

courses as an undergraduateand then move on chiropracticschool. Geiger studied for hisundergraduate at AmericanRiver College, Sierra College,and Sacramento State Univer-sity.

Joining Geiger on his journey was Dr. Lynn Johnson, D.C.,

partnered since May of 1988.She also had experience thatled her to her career. After painin her body was improperly diagnosed as carpel tunnelsyndrome, a chiropractor actu-ally found the source of herproblems in her neck.

“If I had had the surgery, Istill would have had the nervepain going down my arm,” shesaid. “It wasn’t coming from my wrist though, it was coming from my neck. My girlfriend’smother was in a family of chi-ropractors, where all of them were in the profession. Whatsome people may not realize is

that chiropractors’ health levelis so much higher than the restof the public.”

Her girlfriend’s motherexamined Johnson at the age of 24 and informed that her neck did not look good for her age.She began adjusting Johnsonfor eight weeks, and after that

time period, Johnson’s prob-lems were gone.

“That’s what piqued my interest,” she said. “Peopleshould know they have otheroptions, that there’s more thanone way to go.”

Geiger cited technology asthe biggest change over the years in the chiropractic indus-try.

At the beginning Geiger hadbasic equipment such as anultrasound and muscle stemstimulating machines, but now he uses machinery such aslasers and hyperbaric cham-bers. Geiger was the first chiro-

practic company in northernCalifornia to start using laserequipment.

“Things are always changing and you always have to stay ontop of the new procedures andtechniques that are now being used versus when I started,” hesaid. “We always try to stay up

on all the latest technologies.” When asked what he felt

people should understandabout chiropractors that they probably don’t know, Geigercited the importance of a drug-less trade.

“What people should know about chiropractors is that weare a profession that doesn’tbelieve in drugs. We believethat if your body is giving you asymptom, it is trying to tell yousomething, and taking a pill is just going to hide that symp-tom. That is not the way to deal with your health.”

Geiger worked in the clinic in

San Carlos where all the SanFrancisco 49ers received theirchiropractic care after he grad-uated. Patients on the SuperBowl winning team includedJoe Montana, Roger Craig, RussFrancis and Ronnie Lot.

Players on the team needed a

chiropractor during their sum-mer training camp, then heldat Sierra College in Rocklin,and both Dr. Geiger and Dr.Johnson began their work,making San Francisco one of the only teams in the NFL toemploy chiropractors.

He has also worked exten-sively with the SacramentoKings, World Champion Jr.Lightweight Boxer Tony “TheTiger” Lopez, World Heavy- weight Champion Boxer Evan-der Holyfield, ProfessionalGolfer “Chi Chi” Rodriguez, World Champion KickboxerDennis Alexio and many oth-ers.

“The trouble with athletes, asthe public outlook is becoming more aware, is that they take atremendous amount of injury to their spines,” Geiger said.“The public is probably not

aware that, up until recently,the average (lifespan) of anNational Football League play-er is 58 years of age, and a yearand a half ago they droppedthat to 57.

“When you are taking thosekinds of hits, whether it be aboxer or a football player, it’slike getting in 15 car accidentsevery single game. That doesnot do well for your spine andit definitely does not do well for

your health.”Despite all of the celebrity

athletes and special exposure,Geiger didn’t cite any of that as what he wanted to celebratemost about the past 25 years.To him, the most importantaspect has been helping thecitizens of Granite Bay andRoseville.

“The most important thing of the last 25 years is just thepeople in the Roseville and theGranite Bay area,” he said. “Ilove this area and I love work-ing with them. They’re actually more important to us than thesports stars to take care of.”

Editor’s note: This is part one of two parts on get-ting good grades. See part two in next month’s View.

How proud your par-ents, relatives andteachers are when

you get good grades. Best

of all is how terrific you’llfeel about yourself. Hereare five steps of a 10-stepprocess toward success:

Step 1: You’re yourbest advocate

Think of 2011 as the year to believe in yourself and advocate that you

can improve your grades.Michael Korda reports,“To succeed, we mustfirst believe that we can.”

Step 2: Organizeyourself

Use an assignmentnotebook, writing downassignments and due

dates. Assignments which need to be brokendown into smaller partsshould be on your calen-dar. Possess the books you need and always turn work in on time. Keepquizzes and tests to study

for future tests. Also,organize before bedtime,and your reward will bebetter sleep.

Step 3: Be a timemanager

Manage time to do what you have to do andthen you still have time

left over for other things you want to do. If youhave class time to starthomework, use it. It’s agreat time to ask ques-tions and get extra assis-tance. To give you a feel-ing of accomplishment,

tackle the harder work first.

Step Four:Demonstrate success

Understand theteacher’s rules andrequirements. Discover what is expected and doit. Be responsible and

don’t miss school, unless you are sick.

Always be ready in yourseat when the bell ringsand begin with a positiveattitude. Learn to adaptto each teacher’s person-ality, teaching style and

expectations, remember-ing every teacher is dif-ferent. Arrive prepared, with materials andhomework. Remember,homework should pro-vide further clarificationof lessons and discus-sions.

Step 5: Improvenote-taking

At night, skim over what will be covered thenext day. Take notes astests usually cover mate-rial in class — your notesshould make the differ-

ence in your grade. Actively listen and think about what is being taught. It forces you topay attention and pick upclues. Time zooms by when you are engaged inlearning. Always relate what you learn to some-thing you already know.

The Eureka Schools Foun-dation’s annual fall auc-tion gala and online auc-

tion raised nearly $170,000 forstudents in the Eureka UnionSchool District.

The two-part fundraiser con-sisted of a live auction held the

first 10 days of November and asold-out gala, which took placeNov. 13 at the Granite Bay Golf Club.

“We are overjoyed with theresults,” said auction chairMargot Birch, in a pressrelease. “We had a record num-ber of items for the online auc-tion including vacation pack-ages, restaurant gift certifi-cates, children’s parties, sportscamps and one-of-a-kindexperiences with teachers. As aresult, we had a record numberof bidders.”

Birch is mother to four chil-dren in the district, which hasseven schools that encompassGranite Bay and parts of eastRoseville.

The foundation formed in1992 to bridge the gap betweenmoney provided by the state of California and what the districtneeds to offer quality, well-

rounded education for its stu-dents.

The need has increasedmore in recent years as thestate continues to cut school

district budgets, and the Eure-ka Union School District facesdeclining enrollment, resulting in revenue loss.

The annual auction serves asthe district’s largest fundraiserof the year.

“The money the district

receives from (the foundation)helps make our school districtone of the best in the region,”said foundation PresidentRenee Nash. “Not only do wehave the highest state testscores and lowest class sizes inthe region, we still have impor-tant programs such as bandand choir, fully staffed libraries, junior high athletics and muchmore.”

The funds also pay for tech-nology in the classroom, com-puter technicians, summertraining for teachers, Spanishlanguage education for chil-dren and block grants for indi-vidual schools.

“I can tell you frankly that without the foundation our

district would look dramatical-ly different, and not in a good way,” said Superintendent Dr.Tim McCarty. “We have beenable to weather the financialdownturn better than ourneighbors because of the extrafunding.”

But, he said, the foundation will have to raise even more tohelp the district cope withadditional, crippling budgetcuts expected by the state next year. In 2011, the foundationhopes to raise more than$500,000.

The first event will be thesecond annual Art and MusicExhibition at Bayside Churchon Feb. 11. This free event willinclude live entertainmentfrom Eureka Schools Founda-tion-funded bands and choirs,and art projects by students.

lower rates. Companies will eventually purchase new equipment and expandoperations, helping inventories to grow and marking the beginning of a new expansion.

As you can see, there are some telltale signs that can at least give some idea of where the economy is in its cycle. However, to make matters more complicatedfor you as an investor, the stock market tends to move in advance of the economy,usually in response to investors’ anticipation of what they see down the road. Thebiggest challenge is knowing when the shift to the next phase will occur, becausepredicting the market and the economy is a bit like forecasting the weather.

As an investor, your level of concern for economic fluctuations will depend onseveral factors. You may pay less attention to them if you have a long termapproach and your portfolio is positioned to weather the ups and downs.Alternatively, you may see this as a time of opportunity to reposition holdings oreven add attractively priced securities to your portfolio. Working with a FinancialAdvisor could prove valuable if you decide to employ such a strategy.

Navigating Today’s Economy While changes in the economy occur regularly, what we have experiencedrecently is anything but a normal change. The challenges of the currenteconomy haven’t been seen or experienced in our country in decades. Likemost investors, you may wish you could figure out some way to know wheneconomic conditions were about to change, or what adjustments you shouldmake in your portfolio based on current conditions. It’s a tricky topic, andeven economists disagree about the nature and causes of economic cycles.But we can at least take a look at some of the issues you need to be aware of,and help familiarize you with how the economy works. Some people tend to refer to changes in overall economic conditions as“economic cycles” or “business cycles.” However, it could be a misnomer to

label these changes this way. Because they are not, in fact, predictably cyclical, some economists prefer to call them “economic fluctuations.”Regardless of the terminology you choose to identify them with, changes ineconomic activity generally follow four phases:

Advance or expansion. When times are good and the economy is growing, we typically see indications such as falling unemployment rates andfactories taking advantage of excess capacity, to name a couple. While thenews during this phase is typically positive, you may soon start to see signsof problems ahead. If inflationary pressures begin to creep in, this istypically when the Fed raises interest rates in an attempt to help keep theeconomy from overheating.

Peak. By the time we get to this point, the economy tends to be operating

at full employment, factories have generally used up their excess capacity,and inflationary pressures are usually building. When rising labor andmaterials costs squeeze companies’ profit margins, the Fed will usually movemore aggressively in an attempt to slow growth by raising rates to help easeinflationary pressure.

Decline, slowdown or recession. Ideally, action by the Fed to tameinflation should allow the economy to gradually adjust to a sustainable long- term growth rate without the threat of inflation. In reality, however, thecombination of the Fed’s tightening and the need to correct accumulatedimbalances in labor and materials supplies typically slows growth to a levelthat’s actually below the economy’s long-term potential. Unemploymentrises, factories slow down, and inflationary pressures ease.

Trough. At this point in the cycle, inventories are depleted. The Fed lowersinterest rates in an attempt to help stimulate the economy, and businessesand homeowners may consider refinancing mortgages to take advantage of

Fitness predictions




Happy New Year! Jan-uary is an exciting time — you have a

clean slate to become

who you want andaccomplish what you

want in the year ahead.In the world of fitness,

this time of year meanstons of new faces andlives being changed. New

Year’s magically pullspeople to exercise —maybe you’re feeling thepull yourself.

Here are my two pre-dictions for the yearahead:

1. 2011 is the year thatmany will lose weight andregain their health. Timesare changing. People arerealizing that obesity hasgotten out of hand, andexercise is back in thespotlight.

The real food move-ment is taking the globeby storm as people turn

away from fast andprocessed foods andreturn to wholesome,nutritious meals.

This will be the yearthat many people adopta healthier lifestyle anddrop the extra weight.Maybe even you.

2. Ninety-two percentof all New Year’s resolu-tions will end in failure.

While millions will start

gung ho in January withlofty goals for massive

weight loss, the reality isthat most will fail. Here’s

why:They bite off more

than they can chew. Inall the excitement of becoming a better per-son and transforming their life in the new year,they make the crucialmistake of committing too much. But reality soon sets in and they giveup.

Want to be a part of theeight percent who willachieve their resolutions?

Then set realistic goals.

• Instead of resolving tolose 50 pounds by June,commit to exercise threeto four times each week.

• Instead of resolving togive up all carbs, committo bring healthy snacksto work instead of eating from the vending machine.

• Instead of resolving to

drop three sizes in threemonths, commit to los-ing one pound each week until you reach yourdesired size.

• Instead of resolving tonever eat out again, com-mit to eating healthy all

week and reward yourself with one meal out on the weekends.

Remember that the whole point of making a

New Year’s resolution isto become a healthier,happier and more suc-cessful person. Smallchanges done consis-tently will make a big dif-ference.

I predict that 2011 isgoing to be a great yearfor you. I will leave it upto you to prove me right!

Wishing you all a very happy and healthy new

year.
