When I was young, I remem-ber my parents always talkingabout how fast time goes by.

I never understood whatthey meant until the last few

years, as I have gotten older.Its hard for me to believe Ivelived in Granite Bay for almost15 years and that the Granite

Bay View magazine is celebrat-ing its 20th anniversary.

As youll discover as you readthis months issue, the GraniteBay View was founded by Jan-ice Freeman.

Twenty years ago Freeman was persuaded to start thispublication because she wastold the Granite Bay communi-ty needed a newspaper.

Looking back through pastissues I marveled at how muchthe publication captured theessence of the people andplaces that make up the Gran-

ite Bay lifestyle. As I perused old issues I

found in my office, I discoveredstories and photos about ourschools that were in theprocess of being built, the pro-posal of the Cheshire Downs

neighborhood in 1992 and theinstallation of officers of theGranite Bay Chamber of Com-merce, which is now combined

4 GRANITE BAY VIEW JULY

BY SUSAN BELKNAP

GRANITE BAY VIEW EDITOR

Several years ago Lisa Pow-ers had a vision.

The part-time Granite Bayresident wanted to create aspecialty center in Granite Bay.The location was on DouglasBoulevard across the way fromBushnells Nursery.

Although it took eight yearsfor her vision to pass throughall the processes and proce-dures necessary for any proj-ect to go through, her visionbecame reality a few years ago

when the Quarry Ponds Cen-ter opened in December 2006.

The grand opening wasMay 2007 and then in August

of that same year, the reces-sion hit, Powers said.

But recession or not, Powersand Quarry Ponds are weath-ering the storm.

Weve been doing so manythings, just by being creative,she said.

Indeed, the weekly list ofactivities and performanceschedules for the center listedon the Quarry Ponds Web siteis impressive.

Whether you want to take ayoga class in the natural out-doors, sample produce from

local farmers or just relax andenjoy the tunes of smooth

jazz, Quarry Ponds hasbecome according to Powers,a change agent for the GraniteBay community.

Powers has owned the 5-acre parcel where the center islocated since 1991. The center

was named for the four pondslocated in the rear of the build-ings.

The main pond is 14-feetdeep, Powers said. It is filled

with catfish and other fish andfeatures a beaver habitat.

In addition to the land where the center is situated,Powers also owns the adjacent5-acre piece of property thathas not been built upon but iszoned residential-agricultural.

Although Quarry Ponds wasthe first project Powers hasbuilt from the ground up, shesno stranger to the world of

business and finance.Her first business venture

was in Auburn where she livedduring the 1970s. She is cur-rently a tax advisor, has a mas-ters in tax law and a practice inSan Francisco. Powers also hasbeen a part of teaching a classat UC Berkeley on entrepre-

neurship.She admits the center is 30

percent vacant but said shefeels fortunate the rate is notany higher.

Were currently talking toseveral good tenants, shesaid. Im an optimist.

Gina Haskell, Toast restau-

rant and events manager alsofeels positive about the cen-ter.

I think even in light of theeconomy our venue is such apeaceful, relaxing place tocome, Haskell said. Thisplace gives you a sense ofcalm. We try to make peoplefeel welcome.

Powers also said that eventhough the economy is not in

its best state, she is fightingback.

I want to make sure this isa place where people cancome and enjoy a free concertor all the other offerings wehave here, she said. I wantto bring joy and happiness toeveryone.

BY EILEEN WILSON

SPECIAL TO THE GRANITE BAY VIEW

Change can be a good thing.While some people prefer theold to trying something new,here in Granite Bay in the lasttwo decades much has tran-

spired.Approximately 20 years ago,

the community becameknown as Granite Bay, insteadof that place out there by thelake, as it was referred to bymany, and a journalist namedJanice Freeman founded Gran-ite Bays very own magazine,the Granite Bay View.

While many things havechanged since the communityof Granite Bay was officiallyrecognized in late 80s, thehometown, many residentsfeel the community has stayed

the same in many respects.The neighborhood schools

have grow from three humblecampuses, full of portables Eureka Elementary, GreenhillsElementary and Cavitt JuniorHigh, to eight schools com-

plete with permanent struc-tures and multi-purposerooms and back to a reducednumber of seven schools, as ofJune, with the closure of Eure-ka Elementary.

Dr. Ronald Feist knows aboutthe changes most of whichhappened during his time asEureka Union School Superin-tendent from 1982 to 2004.

Eighty percent of Cavitt was

built during my tenure, in thelate 80s and early 90s, hesaid. That was the first majorconstruction project I did inthe district.

Next came the first phase ofOakhills Elementary in 1990,and Ridgeview Elementary in1994.

It takes elementary schoolsat least a year to be built, Feistsaid, In 1996 we built Olym-pus. Once we were able to getrolling, we built it all at one

time.In late 1996, and e

ago, Granite Bay had plenty ofkids and very few jungle gyms.

If kids wanted to slide orswing, school campuses orsomeones backyard were theonly options.

There were absolutely noparks in Granite Bay, franklysaid John Ramirez, PlacerCounty Parks director. I wasinvolved when we did GraniteBays General Plan. Greenhills

School, Eureka School andCavitt field, were it. Kids whoplayed higher baseball andother sports had to go some-

where in Roseville, or KingPark in Loomis.

The first Granite Bay Park,Treelake Park, was built bydevelopers in 1990.

Until that park was built,the pressure was on theschools to create the park pro-gram, Ramirez said.

Since that time, MinersRavine Nature Reserve (nearShelbourne) was created, and

Sterling Pointe Park and Tree-lake Terrace Park (benches,trees and trail) in 2000. Nextcame Douglas Ranch Park in2002, and Granite Bay Com-munity Park in 2004, and mostrecently, Ronald Feist Park in2006, the site of recent EurekaUnion School District activitieslike the Eureka Country Faireand Fund Run in May.

There was an effort to get somany of the subdivisions built,but we had to wait untilenough homes were built to

pay for upkeep, Ramirez saidof the assessments used to pay

for parks.Ramirez said he is proud of

the parks in the community.From the Board of Supervi-

sors on down, we feel parks arereally one of those quality oflife issues, he said. If we havereally nice parks, people will

want to recreate there and stayclose to home.

When it comes to fresh food,not much has changed. Twen-ty years ago, the only consis-tent farmers market, theFoothill Farmers Market, was

located near Taylor Road inLoomis.

The produce comes straightfrom the farm to you. Theadvantages of buying directlyfrom the farmers include fresh-ness, education a great way tolearn more about agriculture,and price, as quoted in the

Granite Bay View August 1989.Today, the freshest veggies in

town can be found at QuarryPonds each Sunday from 9a.m. to 1 p.m.

Besides schools and parksthe real estate market has beena roller-coaster ride over thelast 20 years, with constant

According to tradition, a20th anniversary calls for chi-na, platinum or irises.

Luckily many Granite Bayresidents have already beencelebrating by way of porcelainveneers, platinum highlightsand donuts that have becomethe apple (fritter) of their eyethanks to these longtime com-munity businesses.

Celebrating 25 years inDecember, James Jack hasbeen patching up cavities andpolishing smiles for familiesthroughout Granite Bay.

As the man behind thesmiles, Jacks family dentalpractice has made a name, anda home for itself in the com-munity that has grown consid-erably since the offices open-ing in 1984.

Its definitely gotten busier,Jack said. Were always gettingnew patients that hear aboutus from the old-timers.

Jack moved to Granite Bay asa child and said it was thefamilial and community tiesthat kept him, and his businessin the area. As a result, Jack has

been peering at the molars,and bicuspids of some of hispatients for their entire lives.

Thats always fun to see thefamilies grow, Jack said.Some of the kids move on butthen theres those that stay andbring their families in and starttheir own dental history withus.

The families that have stuckwith Jack and his practice havealso gotten a front row seat tohow the dental industry haschanged in the last 25 years.

Weve had a lot of advance-

ments in technology, Jacksaid. Its been a constant bat-tle to keep up with the timesand offer the latest to ourpatients.

One of the largest advanceshas been the introduction ofdental implants that canreplace single or groups ofteeth.

Jacks patients run the gamutfrom toddlers in for their firstcheck up to longtime patientssuggesting loyalty badges orfrequent visitor parking spacesto the receptionist staff.

A lot of my staff is the sameand I still see many of the orig-inal patients from 1984 everysix months, Jack said. Notonly are we a family practicetheres a real family feel too.

One group that hasntchanged is the table of gentle-men that congregate at one ofthe umbrella tables outside.The men meet multiple timesa week and Clark says its notunusual for her shop tobecome a meeting spot forpeople to catch up over aplate of doughnuts and cof-fee.

Granite Bay was estab-lished to be a communityplace, Clark said. The storeis no different, that was theappeal of being here, the peo-ple, the community.

Clark is looking to sell thebusiness and retire within the

Few restaurants canevoke an image of finedining where the combi-nation of inventive, excit-ing cuisine is as pleasingas the atmosphere.

Owners Molly Hawksand Michael Fagnoni mayhave struck gold with theirrestaurant, Hawks. With aculinary background thatincludes successful restau-rants in the San FranciscoBay Area, the husband and

wife couple strive forhands-on excellence andan unbending commit-ment that honors food,service and atmosphere.

Hawks can be bestdescribed as a boutiquerestaurant with a localingredient-driven menu.Rustic elegance withserene earth tones within

and al fresco dining withlounge-inspiring sofas bythe fire feature in the backpatio offer expansivepond views and provide aperfect backdrop for anydining experience.

Although this was orig-inally a long awaited workin progress, Hawks is nowcelebrating its secondanniversary. Over the pasttwo years they have alsoperfected the kind ofmenu that keeps dinerscoming back time after

When it comes to appe-tizers, the crispy greenbeans coated with thelightest tempura batterand served with lemonaioli tops the list. Take

your meal with a Caesarsalad or the puree of Eng-lish pea soup with Parme-san cream and house-cured pancetta.

The slow-roasted bone-less short rib is certainly astar among the entrees.

And if seafood is more your style, the wildAlaskan halibut is in sea-son and a perfect choice

Hot summer days are a per-fect excuse to escape to Cali-fornias cool beaches

Just a few miles north of SanFrancisco, with the spires of

the Golden Gate Bridge brave-ly poking through fog, lays a

winding lane leading fromHighway 101 to the water.

Rodeo Beach is the site of thenewly-opened Marine Mam-mal Center, which made itsdebut this month the monththat celebrates Marine Mam-mal Day.

The centers hours are 10a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, exceptThanksgiving, Christmas andNew Years Day.

This part of the Californiacoastline has quite a history.

Part of the Golden Gate Nation-al Recreation Area, these fewsquare miles of wonder were, atone time, important to ournations coastal defense.

A short hike up the pathfrom Rodeo leads to Battery

Townsley, which at one timesupported two 16-inch caliberguns capable of shooting a tonof deadly projectile as far as 20miles out to sea. Planned in1928 and activated in 1940, theguns were ready to be fired

with five-minute notice, andthe underground tunnels and

halls housed some 150 men.Though the battery is only a

half mile from the parkingarea, the few hundred feet inelevation gain will take up to 45minutes.

The battery became obsolete

in less than a decade, but hasrecently been opened to guid-ed tours.

If youre strolling toward Bat-tery Townsley and feel the urgeto keep walking, 5.6 milesnorth will land you in MuirBeach.

But theres more to the area

than a battery or two. FortCronkhite, which encompassesall the barracks and buildingson the site, is run by the Nation-al Park Service, and used to be a

World War II military post.Its one of the few remaining

mobilization posts in thecountry. The neatly trimmed,

white buildings lack character,but successfully housed men,mess hall, supplies and neces-sities for 1,000 solders sol-diers waiting for a West Coast

attack that never happened.If World War II doesnt inter-

est you, there are remnants ofthe Cold War Era as well. TheNike Missile site SF88, isopen on various days for tours.Its a shocking sight, indeed, tosee anti-aircraft missiles strain-

ing to cut loose intoblue sky.

There were appr300 Nike Missile siteout the country at usually around majoshoot down potenti

bombers. Today tMarin Headlands isrestored missile sicountry. Though thclosed for official b1974, groups routineelevator undergrounout the comman

BY EILEEN WILSON


This summer marks the 20thanniversary of the Granite Bay

View. And founder JaniceFreeman is enjoying her owncelebration her 72nd birth-day.

With a hearty laugh anddozens of birthday cards sentby family and friends, Freemanis just as lively and astute asever.

The View wasnt her first for-ay in to the world of writing.

Armed with a journalismdegree from Temple Universityin Philadelphia, Freeman cov-ered the crime, or cops androbbers beat for newspapers,but didnt enjoy the gritty work.

It was kind of negative, shesaid of courtroom drama. Ilike things that are uplifting.

She printed her first publica-tion in Cameron Park yearsago, but moved to Florida for atime to help her mother andleft her creation behind.

Upon her return to the area,starting a new magazine wasthe furthest thing from hermind.

But that all changed whenRusty Manly, a friend whoowned Straw Hat Pizza on

Auburn Folsom Road andDouglas Boulevard,approached her,

You know, Janice, what we

need in Granite Bay is a news-paper, he said.

Freeman recalls her initialhesitation.

No, Im out of the publish-ing business, she said. Imgoing to do something sanenow.

Manly prevailed, roundingup advertising commitmentsfrom merchants in the GraniteBay Village Shopping Center.

The stores agreed to pay foradvertising up front, just forthe summer months, Free-man said. It was really just a

shopper a black and whitenewsprint tabloid.

The paper, which Freemanhad only promised to publishfor the summer months, andthen through the holidays,

was direct mailed to GraniteBay addresses, all 3,500 ofthem.

The paper was a hit.

It was just a raving success,she said. So the people inRaleys shopping center really

wanted to advertise in it.The View began around the

same time that Granite Bayimplemented its own commu-nity plan, so there was plentyto talk about.

Granite Bay was just a nicelittle place that was out by thelake, Freeman said. And thePress Tribune newspaper was-nt covering a lot of events inGranite Bay, so they really

wanted their own paper.Human interest stories are

Freemans passion, and shefilled her paper with them, as

well as local happenings,

which often times includedLoomis, Folsom and Roseville.

I wrote personality profiles.I had the opportunity to meetand write about people likeMaureen Reagan, (Ronald Rea-gans daughter, who was aGranite Bay resident until herdeath in 2001), Eddie Murphy,various Kings players we

have a lot of very famous peo-ple in the area, she said.

Freeman admitted the workwas challenging in the begin-ning.

When I started the view, it was printed by the Press Tri-bune printing press inRoseville. I wrote it all in thebeginning the articles, didthe photography and didadvertising sales I was aone-man show.

Though Gold Country Mediapurchased the magazine in

2002, Freeman stayconsultant to the Vcouple years to ease tion, and to keep wthe magazine she lov

When was the last time thatyou accomplished somethinghuge?

Thats an easy question forHelen Phillips.

Last month Helen wowedthe world with her dramatictransformation on the NBCshow The Biggest Loser. At48 years of age she is the oldestcontestant to win the weightloss competition, shedding 140pounds and 54.7 percent of herbody weight.

Id call losing more than halfof your body weight a huge

accomplishment wouldntyou?

The crazy part is that Helenwas clearly the underdog. Shewas simply too old and too fatto win. At least that was whatthe other contestants thought.

And thats what Helenthought too.

I never believed in myself inthe beginning, she admits.However when a doctor toldher that she was living in thebody of a 60-year-old woman,Helen got serious.

Helen buckled down and

made losing weight her onlyfocus. Her hard work paid off,giving her the prized title of theBiggest Loser.

She accomplished some-thing huge and now her life isvastly improved.

I feel so good. I feel like Ican do anything, she toldreporters with a huge smile.If I can do it, you can do it,she said.

I have to agree with her.If a 48-year-old, 257-pound

woman can transform herbody from a size 22 to a size 2,

then anyone really can do it.Think for a moment of thathuge accomplishment that

you havent made. Maybe its a weight loss goal that youvehad for years. Maybe its some-thing completely unrelated to

your weight.

Whats holding you back?

Are you afraid youll fail?

The fear of failure is a power-ful thing. No one likes to fail,and repeat failure is even

worse.

So what can you do to con-

quer it?

Realize that failure isnt theworst outcome. Not trying is. You only fail when you

decide to give up. Get up andtry again.

Are you afraid youll succeed? You may not realize it, but

most people fear success. Suc-cess means change andchange can be scary. It isimportant that you embracethe idea of success and ignoreany negative self talk. Close your eyes and pic-

ture yourself accomplishing your goal. What will thataccomplishment do for yourlife? List the benefits youllenjoy. Spend a few minutes each

day visualizing yourself

accomplishing your goal. Howgreat does it feel? Savor thosevictorious emotions and usethem to drive your motivation.

Helen didnt believe in her-self, until one day she decidedthat she was done doubting.

Are you done doubting?

Its your turn to accomplishsomething huge. If like Helen,and your goal is weight loss,forget about the fad diets, thepills and the potions. Focus oneating healthy and focus on

your exercise plan then youtoo will see amazing results.
