4 JULY • GRANITE BAY VIEW

BY TOBY LEWIS

GRANITE BAY VIEW

Granite Bay boasts some of the best trails for moun-tain biking in the region

for beginning riders all the way to intermediate or advanced.

Michael Medina knows allabout it.

“The trails out there are wellmaintained,” Medina said. “It’sa local tight-knit community that takes care of them.”

As an avid mountain bikerand competitive racer with theMad Cat Bike Team, Medina isan integral part of that cycling

community that helps main-tain the trails at Folsom LakeState Recreation Area in Gran-ite Bay.

Medina also teaches classesat Gold’s Gym in Granite Bay geared toward introducing people to cycling and getting experienced riders and

endurance athletes into shape.Medina has been cycling for

more than 20 years and says it’sa sport that just about anybody can get into, regardless of theirskill level.

“The biggest thing that turnspeople away from actually

wanting to mountain bike isthey think they have to becompetitive and really good,”he said. “A lot of people outhere are just average guys try-ing to come out here and have

fun.”To prove this, Medina is

holding a skills clinic on twoconsecutive Saturdays in July for anyone who wants to learnmore about the sport or work on their skill set.

The clinic, sponsored by Gold’s Gym in Granite Bay, will

take place at Folsom Lake StateRecreation Area on July 16 and23 and is free for anyone who wants to be involved.

Medina said you don’t haveto be a member of Gold’s Gymto attend the clinic, and every-one who participates will

receive a one-week compli-mentary membership to thegym.

“We’re trying to get somenew people into the sport andget some more foot traffic intothe gym,” he said.

Mike Upchurch, owner of Mad Cat Bicycles and founder

of the Mad Cat Bike Team, saysMedina is a good cyclist andhas helped train riders on theMad Cat team.

“He joined our team this year,” Upchurch said. “He’ddone some road races and

mountain bike races, now he’sracing for us.”

The Mad Cat Bike Team wasformed in 2005 when Mad Cat

Bicycles opened its doors inSacramento.The team started with about

two or three riders, Upchurchsaid, and quickly grew to whereit is today, made up of morethan 60 cyclists and mountainbikers of all skill levels ranging from ages 7 to 61.

“The main differencebetween us and most shopteams is that it’s almost like weare a team that owns a bike

shop,” Upchurch said. “We’relike a family. We all know eachother, we all ride together. Our jerseys actually say ‘family’ onthe back collars.”

Medina said what he likesbest about being on the MadCat team is the absence of egos.

“A lot of the Mad Cat peoplelive in the area,” he said. “They are very family oriented andopen to all skill levels.”

To be on the Mad Cat team,Upchurch said, riders pay a $50membership fee and mustcompete in at least 12 moun-tain bike, cyclocross or roadbike races each year.

In addition to racing, teammembers must volunteer theirtime to trail maintenance andhelping out at events. They must also represent the shop well at events by being friendly,helpful and supportive on the

race course and on the trail,Upchurch said.“We try to do a good job of

being a positive force in thecycling community and try toput the fun back into racing,”Upchurch said. “Too many peo-ple get too agro about racing and have too much attitudeand that won’t fly here.”

Medina said anyone interest-ed in learning more about thesport and wanting to attend the

free skills clinic can contact himat (916) 343-1041 or by sending an email to [email protected].

BY EILEEN WILSONSPECIAL TO THE GRANITE BAY VIEW

Trend: Summer scarfFor the ultimate in cool sophistica-

tion, J. Christiaan Spa and Salon offersthe Tolani scarf, a versatile piece thatcan take an average outfit to absolutely fabulous in an instant.

Awash in muted whorls of color —plum, fig and cream, or navy, corn-flower and white — the handmade

pieces are adorned with shimmering medallions thatadd flair andflashiness to theoverall effect.

“The scarvesare all hand-made, and comefrom India,” saidJoanna Lundt,owner of theGranite Bay spa.“They can be worn as bothscarf and cowl.They’re also

wearing them as head coverings.”Keeping the sun’s potentially damag-

ing rays from delicate cheeks, nose andshoulders has never been so elegant.

In addition, the scarves are popularpoolside, and easily double as tube topsor tastefully tantalizing bathing suitbottom coverups. The must-haveaccessory adds an element of the exotic

— something you would expect to seein San Tropez or Rio.Cost: $89J. Christiaan Spa + Salon + Product Bar,

5520 Douglas Boulevard, Granite Bay

Trend: Feathers Another hot item on Granite Bay’s

most trendy list is J. Christiaan’s feath-ered headband.

A sparkling silver chain, combined with light, fluttering feathers, the jewel-ry does double duty as either a head-

band or a necklace.“The piece can be worn either choker

style or lariat style, when using it as anecklace,” Lundt said.

But it’s the headbands that are mak-ing waves this season. The trendy bandscan be found in the many fashion-forward boutiques.

“The headband is so popular rightnow in Los Angeles, and is becoming hugely popular here, too,” Lundt said. “Ihad eight pieces this week, and they sold right away.”

Lundt compares the store’s head-bands to something Steven Tylerrecently sported on American Idol.

Cost: $98

J. Christiaan Spa + Salon + Product Bar,5520 Douglas Boulevard, Granite Bay

Trend: Oversized earrings When it comes to this summer’s

hottest earrings, big is in. Hoops,rounds and chandeliers are all the rage.Dressed in a variety of shimmering and

matte metalics,Nevaeh hassomething boldand beautiful foreveryone.

Flattering forvirtually every face shape, ham-mered copper

flat rounds, orhoops thatsparkle withbeaded brilliancein varying shadesof cool teals or firey oranges are the per-fect complement to bare skin this sea-son.

Think maxi dresses, a cool summerupdo and burnished copper hoopsbrushing bronzed shoulders.

According to the store’s buyer,

Heather Brown, gold is hot.“Gold has really made a comeback. Anything with African beads, piecesfrom Morocco — anything ethnic isreally in,” Brown said. “More peoplepop to gold in the summer because itgoes great with a tan.”

Cost: $8 to $42, $16 averageNevaeh, 9205 Sierra College Boule-

vard, Roseville

Trend: Enamel jewelry While big metalics are in, substantial

enamel pieces are hot this summer, as well. Pieces from the Bellec’ Toile col-lection say flirty and ready for fun.

From understated black and white,monochrome plums or blues, or wildreds and yellows, dotted with animalmotifs, Rogers Jewelry has pieces sure toperfectly complement a variety of clothing, both casual or dressy.

“It’s all about fun and vibrance,” saidsales associate Desiree Huebner. “The

Bellec’ Toile pieces really bring out theoutfit. You can just be wearing the mostplain outfit and the pieces will make theclothing pop. The pieces are bold andbeautiful, yet simple.”

Oversized rings, bangle-stylebracelets, eye-catching earrings andpendants are just what a woman wants,and will make her friends and admirerssay “wow.”

The Bay Area family who designs Bel-lec’ Toile has been around for a numberof years, and their creations are prima-

rily sterling silver with colored enamel.Styles range from understated to

unexpectedly brilliant.“It’s like art,” Huebner said.Cost: $200 - $1,000Rogers Jewelry, 9217 Sierra College

ACCESSORIES: Personalized jewelry can be meaningful, treasured for years to come

Trend: Personalized While fun and flirty are

fine for most occasions,Desideri offers a personal-

ized line of jewelry that ismeaningful and will be treas-ured for years to come.

Created by local designer,Linnell Chang, the jewelry iscustom made for each recip-ient, and is a synthesis of words that act as affirma-tions.

Chang began with a hand-made piece for her niece,then quickly decided her

own daughter needed anecklace, as well.

“What words did I wantmy daughter to wear aroundher neck — what words

would be meaningful to her,and what words did I wanther to live by?” she asked.

Since that time, almost two years ago, Chang has createdan extensive questionnairethat she completes with herclients, helping them choosethe words of affirmation thatare right for them, or for the jewelry’s recipient.

Chang uses a variety of

metals, which she handstamps with lettering, andthe pieces often includecharms or precious metals,as well.

While most Desideri cus-tomers order necklaces,Chang creates charmbracelets, pins and more.

“There is power in words,”Chang said. “Some peoplealready know the words they want to use, but most don’t.”

GRANITE BAY VIEW CORRESPONDENT

C

arol Hamilton of Folsom gets teary eyed and sometimes bawls whenshe has to leave her girls with a sit-

ter and she cries again when she picksthem up.

“You can see their eyes beginning tolook sad, too.” It’s an emotional time forthe family.

The girls that Hamilton has a difficulttime leaving are Tenaya, 4, and Katie, 5.Both are adopted and both are beautifulgolden retrievers — dogs.

“I still have their ‘baby’ pictures onmy refrigerator,” she said.

Hamilton, who used to take businesstrips with her husband, Steve, has lefther girls with pet hotels that offeramenities such as plush beds, classicalmusic and flat-panel TVs with pet-appropriate shows.

“They thought there was a death inthe family because I was so emotional when I left them and cried so hard when I picked them up,” Hamilton said.

Nowadays, she hires a neighbor tocare for Tenaya and Katie. Or she leavesthem at PetSmart on Iron Point Road in

Folsom when she has the carpetscleaned. The people at PetSmart know the dogs, er, girls, because that’s whereshe has them groomed.

Whenever Hamilton leaves the house,she turns up the volume on her answer-ing machine. “That way they can hearmy voice when I call and talk to them,”she said. Although owners like Hamil-ton are pretty picky about where they leave their pets, there are places thatpromise pampering, tender loving care

and plenty of activities. That helps pre-vent doggie boredom and mischievousbehavior when pets are home alone.

Folsom Dog Resort and Training Cen-ter provides overnight lodging and dog-gie day care for pets while their ownersare on vacation, business trips or whenthey have work done in their homes.

“We have comfortable indoor roomsfor dogs, private areas for them to residein,” said Jake Romero, co-owner. Thefacility has an outdoor play yard — aquarter acre of special synthetic turf

where dogs exercise.The “guests” participate in organized

play groups with activities selected by the owners and supervised by trainedactivity leaders.

“We encourage as much exercise andactivity as we can to take their pets’minds off being left here,” Romero said.

“Dogs are social animals and benefitfrom being with staff or other dogs.”There are individual programs for shyer

dogs, too.Folsom Dog Resort’s staff develops a

profile of each dog and checks if thereare special needs. They keep detailednotes and provide resort reports, whichinclude how well the dog ate. They alsoprovide Play Report Cards. “Owners likethat,” Romero said.

Pets are constantly monitored during their stay. “We have 32 security cam-eras,” Romero said.

Pet owners who work all day and are just too doggone tired to go for walkscan call Lynne Proctor of Adventure Pet.Proctor does more than just walk dogs;she takes them on organized “doggiefield trips.”

“So many breeds need more exercisethan people have time for,” said Proctor,

who takes pets out for two-hour hikes.“It’s good for them to get off their prop-erty.”

“People are protective about theirpets, but once they get to know me,they’re OK,” she said.

Proctor, who is based in Roseville,picks up pets, exercises them, offerstreats and pats them down before tak-ing them back home.

She takes them toparks, open areas andFolsom Lake for a swim.“That’s really good for

them,” she said. “Peopledon’t exercise their dogsenough. I like to wearthem out.”

She takes as many petsat a time as she can han-dle, sometimes up to five.“Most dogs become really good friends,” she said.

Proctor takes photosand e-mails the picturesto their owners, so they can see what their pets were doing during thefield trips. Many peoplereply with a “thank you”and “Can I go, too?”

In addition to exercise,Proctor also does pet sit-ting, and, like others inthe Pet Adventure group,she’s licensed, bonded,insured and pet CPR andfirst-aid certified.

PetSmart, with loca-

tions in Folsom, Rosevilleand Lincoln, offersovernight lodging andday care for both cats anddogs. The Iron Point Roadfacility has 110 rooms forpets and provides 24/7supervision.

Cats stay in single

rooms in one of 14 Kitty Cottages and are givenpersonalized TLC time by associates. The three-tiered rooms with litterboxes and sleep areasface a larger room with a

television. At PetSmart’s doggie

day camp pets play andsocialize in playroomsthat accommodate 11, 15and 17 dogs each. Dogsthat don’t get along withothers must at least bepeople-friendly.

Day camp hours are 9a.m. to 5 p.m. with anhour off for lunch andrest. The day care pro-gram offers fewer play hours.

PetsSmart’s PetsHotelprovides standard atriumrooms or private suites with televisions for really pampered pets, said aspokesperson.

While pet owners may experience separationanxiety during vacationsand business trips, their

dogs can find plenty of activities to keep themhappy and make the timego faster.

And, who knows? They may enjoy returning toplay times with theirnewfound friends, bothtwo and four legged.

GRANITE BAY VIEW

For some children, summermeans three months of limited brain stimulation.

But that doesn’t have to hap-pen to your kids. The Creative Arts and Music Center in Gran-

ite Bay offers plenty of specialprograms designed to feed theright side of your kid’s brainand spark their creativity, all while promoting fun.

On a recent morning at thecenter, several children sitaround a large wooden table,molding floam — a light, sticky foam-like substance — intovarious shapes.

“Look what I made, anapple,” says 3-year-old Cody

Pigeon, proudly holding up aball of floam.

Head teacher Loralyn Owenhurries over to Cody and prais-es his creation, and encourageshim to continue. Then she’s off to admire the work of 4-year-old Ashley Rowland, who dips apaintbrush into yellow, red andblue paint and slathers thesubstance onto a sheet of whitebutcher paper.

Owen teaches the Art, Musicand Movement class forpreschoolers. She also runs thePee Wee Picasso class, a year-long program that introducesart to kids 3 to 5 years old. They draw, paint and sculpt using watercolors, acrylics, chalk pastels, clay and more. They also sing and dance, and learnabout music.

Owen has worked at the cen-ter for a decade, beginning as

an intern.“I just stayed because I likedit so much,” she says. “I loveeverything about this place.The energy of it — and look atall these cute kids. They’readorable.”

The Creative Arts and Music

Center was founded in 1994after then-20-year-old Greg Bodie introduced his mother,Brenda Bodie, to his friend’smother, Saskia Covington, andthe two women decided to

start the establishmentGreg Bodie remains at the

center, as co-owner and resi-dent artist.

“He’s a big kid-magnet,” saysco-owner Thea Rood. “When

he pops in the kids say, ‘Oh, Mr.Greg is here!’”

The center started in a stripmall but quickly outgrew thatspace and now resides in aremodeled and brightly col-

ored farmhouse on 2.5 acres onDouglas Boulevard, surround-ed by protected wetlands onone side and Granite Bay Com-munity Park on the other.

Open windows look out ontotrees and flowers. The property also boasts natural wood play structures.

On that recent morning,Owen approaches a little boy and rolls up the sleeves of hisshirt, so they won’t get dirty inthe paint. Then she picks up apen to write the name of a littlegirl on her sheet of butcherpaper.

“Are you Ms. Pickles?” sheasks the girl. “Are you Ms. Pota-to Head?”

The girl shakes her head no,until Owen arrives at her realname.

While kids might bring in the“adorable” element, the centerdoesn’t just serve children. TheCreative Arts and Music Centeralso offers programming forteenagers and adults, including a five-week long adult art class

that covers basic techniques,and workshops in drawing, finearts and more for teens.

Aspiring musicians of allages can take private music les-sons in guitar, piano, drumsand several other instruments.

“(The center) is unique,” Roodsays. “Especially with cuts in publicschool funding for arts and music,there aren’t a lot of places where kidscan have this kind of exposure.”

The center doesn’t exist to trainprofessional artists and musicians— although that’s great if that hap-pens — but to spark a student’s cre-ativity.

Besides, research shows thatinvolvement in arts and music helps

a child in all aspects of thinking andlearning.

“That’s what we’re all about,” Roodsays. “We, of course, want them tohave a wonderful time. (Unlikesports) this place isn’t competitive.

It’s a place to come and be dreamy.The kids are amazing. They’realways saying and doing amazing things.”

Dacia Biletnikoff is fond of a partic-ular catch phrase: “Training is theopposite of hoping.” The mantra

drives the 19-year-old, who spendsabout 20 hours a week practicing dance. While at Granite Bay HighSchool — she graduated in May — thismeant four or five hours of training after school every day.

She has lived this strenuous schedulefor the past five years, attending rehearsals at the prestigious NorthernCalifornia Dance Conservatory inRoseville.

“I don’t really complain,” Biletnikoff says. “I love dance. I’m obsessed. I think you have to be obsessed to get to thislevel. Sometimes, I get tired. But it’s nev-er that I don’t want to go dance.”

When Biletnikoff — a pretty woman with long blond hair and big green eyes— talks about her fondness for danceand choreography, and her plans for thefuture, she smiles widely. Those plansinclude summer performances in Aus-

tria and New York, and college at theLondon Contemporary Dance Schoolthis fall.

When she reflects on the death of herolder sister, Tracey Biletnikoff, who wasmurdered in 1999, her smiles fade andshe strings together articulate thoughtsin one, long breathless sentence. Butshe always stays positive.

“What I got out of it, is when youhave something you want, really go for

“ h



it,” Dacia Biletnikoff says.That’s exactly what she

has done. As a 5-year-old, Dacia

Biletnikoff’s best friendtook dance lessons, soshe asked her parents, Angela and NFL Hall of Famer Fred Biletnikoff, if

she could, too. Growing up, she also played soc-cer, violin and piano. Butat 13 years old, thedaughter of the OaklandRaiders’ wide receiverand Super Bowl MVPchose to focus on the del-icate art form of dance.

For the past eight years,Dacia Biletnikoff hastrained at the Northern

California Dance Conser-vatory under the tutelageof renowned instructors,including ballet masterTheodore Constant, whohas toured all over the world. She studies jazz with Kelly Archer, andpractices contemporary

and modern dance withthe studio’s artistic direc-tor Jen Bradford.

“(Dacia) has a uniquestyle,” Bradford says. “Shehas an innate ability totake moves the choreog-rapher gives her andinternalize it and pro-duce in her body whatthe choreographer islooking for.”

Part of that style may come from Dacia’s dis-dain for “sloppy dancers”and her skill at technical-ities.

“She has a deep pas-sion for dance that comesthrough,” Bradford says.“Each dancer expresses

themselves throughmovement. Her style isvery intricate. Althoughshe has a strong technicalbase, she has passionateand fluid movements.”

Dacia Biletnikoff favorscontemporary and mod-ern dance, which incor-

porate raw, humanizedand organic movements.

On June 12, she willtravel to Austria for 10days to perform in a festi-val, where her first chore-ographed piece will bedanced. In July, her six-person company will

perform at the Jacob’s Pil-low Dance Festival.

But her biggest excite-ment comes later this year when she moves toLondon. She applied tothe college on a whim,and traveled to New York to audition for one of 45

spots out of 1,600 appli-cants from around the world — a .03 percentacceptance rate.

“I, honestly, really didn’t think I had thatgreat a chance of getting in,” Dacia Biletnikoff says. “I’m pretty excited. I

was originally going to goto New York because I gotaccepted to a schoolthere. But when thiscame up, I couldn’t give itup.”

Upon her arrival in


“I want to have my own

company. It’s a big dream, but

it’s something I want to do.”Dacia Biletnikoff

came up, I couldn’t give it up.”Upon her arrival in mid-

September, she will auditionto be placed with otherdancers. She will take dance

classes, a course in biomet-rics and a course in theFeldenkrais method,designed to improve move-ment through self-awareness.

For the first two years,Dacia Biletnikoff’s course- work will center on skilldevelopment and in her third year, she will pick a specialty — choreographic studies.

Her mother, who has never

missed a performance, isproud yet sad to see her youngest daughter move

away.“She’s earned it,” Angela

Biletnikoff says. “Nobody gave her anything. We justgave her support.”

Dacia Biletnikoff recently celebrated her 19th birthday,nearing the age when her sis-

ter Tracey died, strangled atthe hands of her boyfriend.

Dacia Biletnikoff, who isone of five children, says hersister struggled with drugsand alcohol, but came clean

before her death. Dacia Bilet-nikoff is not a party person,doesn’t do drugs or drink alcohol.

“I want to make the rightdecisions, because I’ve seenthe ultimate consequence,”she says. “It’s made me astronger person, and I wantto make sure I define myself in a good way.”

A large part of her self-

defining involves dancing.One day, she hopes tobecome a choreographer in

New York.“I want to have my own

company,” she says. “It’s a big dream, but it’s something I want to do.”

But it’s a dream within

reach.“Out of all our dancers, and

there are 500 of them, all would agree that Dacia hasthe most kind, open person-ality,” Bradford says. “I havenever known her to come toclass angry or upset. She’s justfun. She always has a smileon her face. She’s going tohave an incredible careerahead of her.”

Fasting for 10 hours inpreparation of having aneedle stuck into one’s arm

isn’t the most fun half-day, tobe sure.

But there’s a light at the endof every tunnel, and in thiscase, it’s that next meal.

Granite Rock Grill in Rocklinis a good place to fill a bottom-less pit.

Owners Kay and Rich Gard-ner have more than 55 years of experience in food service. Inaddition to Granite Rock Grill,they have a catering servicethat offers gourmet breakfast,Italian, Mexican and Westernmenus.

Hearty appropriately describes Granite Rock Grill’s

food and the folks who work there. They’re warm andfriendly. They keep the hugedrink glasses filled, explain what dishes consist of andeven put leftovers in the take-out box for you.

The Gardners weren’t at therestaurant on a recent Wednes-day morning, but their crew serviced a steady stream of customers that kept the 15booths, 13 tables and small

counter more than half full.Rosa Dominguez has worked

at Granite Rock Grill for fourand a half years. She said therestaurant’s qualities are itscustomer service, portions of food and quality of food, “allthe should-be basics of arestaurant.”

Like its portions, the menu isa huge blend of breakfast andlunch items (the restaurant is

open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. dai-ly). Prices, on the other hand,are reasonable — from $7 to$10 for many dishes.

There are several Benedictand scramble dishes, flapjacks,burgers, sandwiches, low-fatand low-carb options and a

menu for kids.The country-fried steak and

homemade biscuits and gravy are signature items. In fact,most items are homemade,

according to Dominguez.The secret?“A lot of love,” she said.Our choice came down to

the kielbasa skillet — one of several specials of the day —and Jeanie’s Meatloaf Sand- wich.

One can never go wrong withmeatloaf, lettuce, tomato, may-onnaise and onion between abaked bun.

But we decided to have the

kielbasa skillet, a scramble of eggs, kielbasa, potatoes, onionsand bell peppers topped withmelted cheddar cheese. Itcame with two biscuits andgravy. It was special indeed —and hearty.

By the time Dominguez was

dumping a meal’s worth of left-overs — about a third of theskillet and one biscuit, plus anextra container of gravy — intoour take-out box, we’d forgot-

ten about those torturous 10hours of fasting.

GRANITE BAY VIEW CORRESPONDENT

Granite Bay resident Judd Holiday has been a volunteer with Child Advocates of Placer County for a

year and a half. He has served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, otherwiseknown as a CASA, and now as a Y2A (Youth to Adult) mentor.

Holiday has had a 29-year career inlaw enforcement and 15 years ago he was called out on a late-night interac-tion.

“(It was) with a high school age kid who was in a group home, who wasattempting to kill himself,” Holiday said. “I ended up catching him as hehung himself in a tree in the backyard.”

At the time, Holiday had two young children and was working 60 hours a week.

“Listening to this young man over a

period of about an hour talk about thelife he’d gone through and how he’d suf-fered at the hands of his parents, I justthought, ‘there’s got to be some pro-gram out there that can in a positive way affect thesekids,’” he said.

Holiday was abomb technicianand supervised theSacramento Sheriff’sBomb Squad. Heretired two years

ago, and travelsthroughout theUnited States teach-ing classes on terrorism and explosives.His schedule now allows him to volun-teer.

He had looked at a number of differ-ent options after his retirement.

“This is a type of volunteer opportu-nity unlike many others,” Holiday said.“This is one where you’re actually deal-ing with someone one on one.”

As a volunteer, Holiday’s work in law enforcement is incidental — there is nospecialized background necessary forvolunteers, who come from a variety of occupations and backgrounds.

“You just have to be someone that’s willing to spend some time with some-body and listen to them,” Holiday said.

As a CASA, Holiday helped to preventabused, neglected and abandoned chil-dren from becoming lost in the JuvenileDependency system. Working with thePlacer County Superior Court, the CASA helps to find them safe, permanenthomes.

A Y2A mentor is not associated withthe court. In Holiday’s words, his job is“just kind of spending time with themand trying to give advice when advice isappropriate, realizing your situation isprobably completely different fromtheirs, their home environment is dif-ferent, keeping all that in mind.”

He checks in regularly with his casesupervisor, Nick Cunningham.

“He is a very jolly, kind and interesting man, and through his retirement has

found a wonderful passion to give back and work with our local foster and at-risk youth,” Cunningham said.

Don Kleinfelder, formerly a hydroge-ologist, has been executive director of

Child Advocates of Placer County andthe CASA programfor 13 years.

“CASA volunteersfill one great need,”Kleinfelder said.“They act as the

eyes and ears of the judge, and the voiceof the child.”

From 2006 through 2010, Kleinfeldersaid the program trained 252 new vol-unteers who have advocated for andmentored 493 foster and at-risk youth.

“Of these youth, only 4 percent havere-entered foster care after reunifying with their families, as opposed to ourcounty average of 18 percent,” he said.

CASA was first started by SuperiorCourt Judge David Soukup in 1977, when he was faced with juvenile courtcases in Seattle that required him todecide whether a child would be takenfrom, in many cases, the only home heor she had ever known, or be left in a sit-uation which might be dangerous.

There was no one present whose job

it was to investigate and find out whatthe situation really was, to look out forthe child’s needs, and find out what would be best for him or her.

Now, CASA programs operate in all 50states with more than 50,000 volunteersand more than 225,000 kids being served every year. In California, thereare CASA programs in 43 counties andthree tribal councils.

Currently Placer County has 195trained CASA volunteers. The volun-teers are thoroughly screened and gothrough orientation and 30 hours of training.

The need for volunteers is great, espe-cially for male mentors and advocates.

In Placer County, 72 percent of Child Advocates of Placer County youth inneed of a mentor are male, 52 percent of those in need of a CASA are male — butonly 18 percent of the current volun-teers are male.

Judd Holiday said that he had wanteda volunteer opportunity that was morethan stacking boxes and counting post-cards.

“It can be difficult,” he said. “But thereward more than makes up for the dif-ficulty. When the mother calls and says,‘Hey, man, I’m noticing a difference,’ orthe teacher says, ‘Yeah, he really is doing better in school this month.’ That’s apretty good reward, that’s my feeling.”

GRANITE BAY VIEW

Y ou’ve heard of the ice bath.Marathon runners and many otherelite athletes from around the globe

will sometimes have a good soak in icy cold water after an event to help controlinflammation and aid in recovery.

Now, a small, family-owned company based in Roseville is introducing a new technology to the United States thatcould make the traditional ice bathseem like an antiquated form of thera-py.

Cryotherapy, translated from Greek as“cold” therapy, uses a cold chamberkept at a cool negative 166 degreesFahrenheit.

Users spend up to three minutes inthe freezing chamber, allowing maxi-mum skin exposure, and the cold air will actually shrink blood vessels toreduce swelling, according to ToddKramer, owner and operations manager

at US Cryotherapy in Granite Bay.“Your skin temperature will dropabout 35 to 40 degrees, which is very helpful in removing the inflammationfrom the muscles,” Kramer said. “It’sstate-of-the-art technology, definitely agame changer for the way we’ve donetraditional recovery.”

Kramer said there are about 200cryotherapy chambers spread through-out Europe, and his father discoveredthe new technology while he was inPrague.

After doing some research, his fatherfound out this technology was not yetavailable in the United States and thefamily business model was formed.

The senior Kramer partnered with histhree children, Rob, Kevin and Todd, toform US Cryotherapy and bring thetechnology over to the United States.

US Cryotherapy owns the exclusivedistribution rights for all of North Amer-ica and Todd Kramer said the company hopes to introduce the German-basedtechnology to sports teams and physi-cal therapists across the country.

“We are looking as a family-ownedoperation to open three to five of thesein California,” he said. “And then we areopening it up to franchising opportuni-ties.”

Todd Weygandt, owner of CrossFit in

Rocklin, is a firm believer in the use of cryotherapy and has been using thechamber since the company opened itsicy doors three months ago.

“When I get to a point to where Iknow I’m going to be really sore for the

next few days, I do the cryotherapy andthe amount of soreness goes away,” Weygandt said. “It’s not a magic pill, itdoesn’t make me perfect but it makesme a heck of a lot less sore and enablesme to hit it hard again in the gym the

next day.” A typical cryotherapy session consists

of the patient sitting in the freezing chamber for three minutes, followed by 10 minutes of moderate cardiovascularexercise at room temperature or resting on a heated hydro-massage table.

Kramer said blood vessels will con-strict and then expand, allowing oxygenand nutrients to get into areas that arenotorious for bad blood flow such astendons or ligaments.

“It doesn’t drop the core temperatureof the body,” Kramer said. “And itdoesn’t freeze the soft tissues in yourmuscles, which is important because you can use this for pre-event or postrecovery.”

For now, Kramer said, the technology is not FDA-approved, nor does it need

to be since it is a non-invasive proce-dure.

But the company hopes to soon getFDA approval so it can partner withlocal hospitals and physical therapy centers and get on a medical reim-bursement schedule to treat patients.

“Having people understand our tech-nology is the biggest obstacle,” Kramersaid. “The people that have tried it havereally embraced the technology.”

He said people who are predisposedto heart or circulatory conditions will bescreened at the front desk and restrictedfrom using the chamber.

In addition to the chamber, the com-pany also has a portable device that canbe used to treat isolated areas, and astretching cage where patients canstretch and warm up after treatment.

“Your skin

temperature will

drop about 35 to

40 degrees, which

is very helpful in

removing the

inflammation from the muscles.

It’s state-of-the-art technology,

definitely a game changer for

the way we’ve done traditional

recovery.”Todd Cramer, owner and operations manager,US Cryotherapy

Todd Kramer, owner of US Cryotherapy inGranite Bay, performs spot cryotherapyon Jack Nickens. Cryotherapy is good forhelping heal aches, pains, strains andsprains. “It doesn’t drop the core temper-ature of the body. And it doesn’t freezethe soft tissues in your muscles, which is

important because you can use this forpre-event or post recovery,” Kramer said.

There are also four certified personaltrainers and one certified medical assis-tant on staff.

Even though the technology is gearedtoward treating athletes, Kramer said itis also meant to treat just about any-body with chronic back, shoulder, neck and hip issues.

“Anything that is soft tissue related wecan pretty much treat,” he said. “Youcan use it as part of your ongoing pre-ventative maintenance routine for gen-eral health.”

That’s exactly why Weygandt, whocompetes regularly in CrossFitness, anew sport that combines weight lifting,gymnastics, running and rowing, uses it.

“The idea of the cryotherapy is somuch better because it’s nowhere nearas miserable as the ice bath and itencompasses the whole body,” Wey-gandt said. “I really like the idea, it’s real-ly helped my training a lot.”

LINCOLN HILLS CONSTRUCTION




BY EILEEN WILSON

GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE

Italy did Tuscan first, butGranite Bay does it best. A marriage of Italian style and

Hearst Castle grandeur, 5243Castlereigh Court is the addressthat Tuscan lovers aspire to.

Sweeping staircases and

balustrades beckon, creating an entrance that says grand.

But the scale of the home,along with ingenious architec-ture, creates intimate spacesthat say inviting.

More than 6,000 square feet,mostly on the ground floor, thehome has a wide footprint, while keeping an intimate feel.

“You don’t see how wide thehome is because of all theinteresting angles,” said FranDixon of Ellington Properties.“The homeowners put at leasta couple of years into planning the home before they everstarted the process, and they were very exacting and particu-lar with what they wanted.”

According to Dixon, many

homeowners are afraid of scale,and fail to use properly sizedfixtures and lighting. That’s not

the case with this perfectly pro-portionate property.“Notice the large iron work,

the large light fixtures — theamazing details that they didn’tforget,” Dixon said.

Villa Marmore is named afterthe famed waterfalls in theUmbria region of Italy. It’s easy to see how living in this mag-nificently appointed home islike taking an extended vaca-tion. Dramatic water cascades

down natural stone to the pool,creating the most enticing cacophony, which can beenjoyed from open windows,or from the outdoor loggia, which includes a completekitchen and dining area.

But the falls aren’t the only inducement to spending refreshing evenings outdoors. A unique, raised wall pool andelevated hot tub beckon, asdoes a tinkling en-pool foun-tain. The yard, which leads to aboulder-filled nature area,offers complete privacy.

“Dave Bushnell did the land-scaping. He took stock of thebackyard and said, ‘This is what I see.’ The homeownerslet Dave do exactly what he

wanted, and the effect is justextraordinary,” Dixon said.

Surrounded in sumptuouscolor, the home’s interior isfilled with hues mixed on

nature’s palette — hues likecamel, cocoa and caramel.

The kitchen is a must for any serious chef. A Thermador six-burner professional cook top with griddle will be a favoritekitchen appliance, along withThermador double ovens andbuilt-in microwave. But it’s themassive rounded center islandand stunning hood — ablocked-stone affair, akin tosomething you might find inRome’s coliseum, that take cen-ter stage in this cucina.

In addition to cooking, the well-planned kitchen makescleanup a snap with twoBosche dishwashers and com-pactor.

PROPERTY:Home theater offers tiered seating for a dozen, indirect lighting in tray ceiling



Both kitchen and din-ing area are adjacent tothe family room, whichoffers luminous glass thatopens to the backyardand pool beyond.

Box-beamed ceiling and a pre-cast fireplace with oversized hearthcomplete the room that

allows both fireplace andextra-large televisiontheir own vantage points.

A home theater is nexton the list of must-havesin the house — a roomthat offers tiered seating

for a dozen, and includesa Stewart screen andRunco projection system.

“We have the finest

sound and projectionequipment here,” Dixon

said. “They also includedindirect lighting in thetray ceiling.”

One of Dixon’s favorite

features in the home isthe his-and-hers garages.

Both two-car garages areseparate and includetheir own pantry-likeentry areas, complete

with cabinets, cupboardsand counter space, ideal

for keys, phone, chargers— all your last-minutegrab and go items.

The master bedroom wing includes an office inone direction, the bed-room in the other. Not tobe outdone by the rest of the home, the bedroom islarge, including enoughspace for a sitting area,and the bath includesfurniture-like vanities,

and extensive mirrors as well.

A seating area, withnumerous drawers andcabinets run the length of the large bath, and end with an island and organ-izer-filled closet on oneside, a large shower withvertical water massage

and oversized, jetted tubon the other.

Upstairs, in the kids’ wing, no expense wasspared as well. Uniquearchitecture, like raisedbed areas, interesting

ceiling treatments, anden-suite bathrooms withlarge, organized walk-inclosets fill the rooms withevery possible amenity.

Terraces open to theoutdoors in some bed-rooms, which addsappeal to the front of thehome, as well.

“The layout, the angles,the corbels and the cast— this is a phenomenally

interesting home, with aninteresting interior, as well,” Dixon said. “That’sthe artist in the home-owner who helped designall this.”

Upper body muscletone: With resistancetraining you target themuscles of your upperbody to create a symmet-

ric physique.Muscle confusion: There

are endless variations of movements you can do inorder to keep your mus-cles guessing. Never allow

your routine to grow staleby doing the same

motions over and overagain.

4. Make new friends Athletic endeavors are

a relaxed way to makenew friends and formconnections within yourcommunity. Join a localrunning group to assist

your training or start yourown group of 5K hopefulsin your neighborhood.

5. Start a habit

Although you may findit hard to believe, 5K rac-ing is addicting. The satis-faction of accomplishing

your goal, along with theexciting changes in yourbody, will likely lead youto another race. It’s notfarfetched that you’llbuild up to a marathon.

Ensuring 5K success

Here are three tips toensure that your 5K goesgreat.

1. Consult your doctor. You should always check with your doctor beforebeginning a new exerciseroutine, and training for a5K is no exception.

2. Train smart. Gradual-ly increase your mileageover a few weeks ormonths. Start by running

for 10 to 15 minutes.3. Stay hydrated. Drink

water before and aftereach run, and throughout

your day.

Bonding is undeniably important for all members of the family



Iy

bonded team as a fam-ily, keep it fun!Make your time count.

A child who feels a bond with his family and oth-

ers feels pure love. Butnot everyone has thesame understanding of what bonding is or may not realize some genuinethought needs to be giv-en to reach the depth your child needs.

For example, everyoneneeds a little nudge hereor there to be the bestfamily member possible.

Think of bonding ascommunicating needs,so the familiar “give andtake” comes into focus.“Give” should be high onthe totem pole, and Idon’t mean things. We arebecoming a society thatthinks “things” are most

pLet’s try giving undivid-

ed time, showing morerespect, as well as includ-ing your child in decisionmaking.

Most children may notknow the concept of bonding, but withoutdoubt, they know loveand respect.

Demonstrate caring and be a sensitive teamplayer, over and overagain, day after day. Nev-er stop. Repetition is a way your child learns what is important.

Don’t drop the ball.Drop the towel, the book,or television programand give your child yourfull attention. This means

more looking into yourchild’s eyes with love andeasing up on that irritat-ed, penetrating look thatsays “Please, don’t botherme right now.”

If you don’t have a lot of time to spare, make eachminute you can spend be worth your effort. Yourchild knows when youare trying.

p y You don’t have to sign a

contract to get in bettershape. There’s a lot to besaid for exercising with your child, do a ropes

course, swim a quartermile or run around thetrack together.

Volunteer We don’t need a disas-

ter to volunteer. It couldbe helping a family whois jobless at present by dropping off some bakedgoods, or giving up atreasured object to some-

jtreasure. Incredible expe-riences come from many directions and for many purposes. Giving withoutgetting is one of them.

Show your loveBring out the love

coupons and show youcare (e.g. “Good for oneback rub”). Or simply ask your child to share his world while smothering him with love-filled eyes.

Bob and me in Sierra City



BY SENA CHRISTIAN

GRANITE BAY VIEW

On our first evening

walking around Her-rington’s Sierra Pines

Resort in historic SierraCity, I remarked to my traveling companion how

sweet it seemed to live insuch a small town at thebase of the majestic Sier-ra Buttes.

“You’d just walk aroundand know everyone intown, and wave and say,‘Oh hi, Bob,’” I said.

Sure enough, the nextafternoon, we met Bob.

He is one of 225 resi-dents living in Sierra City, which was founded in the

1850s as a mining town.Bob told us about hisnearly four decades living there, his memory of thehippie haven it once wasand his time working forthe Forest Service.

He chatted with us out-side Sierra Country Storeon Main Street, wherelocals and tourists con-gregate to purchase sup-

plies, order a yummy bowl of potato salad or atasty chicken sandwich atthe deli counter.

“I’m watching the snow melt,” Bob explained.

That bonding moment was one of several high-lights from three daysspent in Sierra City, locat-ed in Tahoe National For-est. We stayed at Herring-ton’s Sierra Pines Resort

in a well-kept, charming cabin-like room with wood paneling, a flat-screen television and abalcony overlooking a waterfall and the rushing North Yuba River.

Our journey began as

my companion and Idrove the two hours fromRoseville on Highway 49. We oohed and ahhed the whole way, and said the word “pretty” so many times I lost count. Onebeautiful sight was sooneclipsed by another natu-ral splendor even morebreathtaking.

We arrived at Herring-

ton’s Sierra Pines Resortand met Mike Herring-ton, who runs the opera-tion with his wife, Bev.His father, Hugh, openedthe resort — they own 50acres, on both sides of thehighway and river — “for

fun” 47 years ago.The restaurant serves

breakfast and dinner dai-ly. I’m a vegetarian andalthough the menu con-sisted of meat dishes, thecooking staff readily accommodated my dietary restrictions.

The restaurant servesfresh rainbow trout fromthe fish pond out front.Our server suggested wepay 25 cents to feed thetrout. It’s fun, she said. So

we did and the fish wentcrazy, scrambling overone another to gobble upthe food.

On our second day, my companion and I drovefive miles and turned lefton Golden Lake Road where we encounteredamazing views of theSierra Buttes. People wemet described this side of the buttes as reminiscent

of the Swiss Alps and“stunning.”

Within a radius of ninemiles from the resort,there are more than 20lakes ideal for boating,hiking, sightseeing andfishing. We made it upthe road to Salmon Lake, which was still covered with snow. No one else was there, and we sat and

ate lunch and snappedphotos.I thought this vacation

would be relaxing, and it was, but there was alsoplenty of hiking involved,including a trek on thePacific Crest Trail.

Besides the naturalbeauty and delightfulaccommodations, one of the best parts of the trip was the lack of cell phone

service. For those threedays, I felt totally discon-nected from the outside world. It was great.
