8 stylemg.com - April 2013
Inever thought I’d be so excited to sleep on an air mattress. But the time has come...
to be one with nature. What does an air mattress have to do with nature, you say?
Picture it nicely tucked in a tented abode complete with views of a crackling, glowing
fire and the wilderness beyond. Yes, camping season is here! According to an article in
Reader’s Digest, “Humans subconsciously long to connect with the natural world through
endless exposure to plants, skies and the seas.” They go on to say that doctors call this
notion “biophilia,” and recognize that being outdoors has a positive effect on the quality
of one’s life.
I recall vivid memories as a child—growing up in southwest Missouri—when my mom,
dad, brother and I drove not too far to my extended family’s farm property featuring acres
of flat grassy land (with a few rolling hills), livestock, ponds, creeks and a nice wooded area
in what some would call the back forty. This sweet spot is where we set up shop. After
unloading the bed of a Chevy pick-up, we arranged our outdoor homestead with a few
non-glamourous tents, fold-out chairs, sleeping bags, and wire hangers outstretched for
hot dog cooking and marshmallow roasting in anticipation of the nights’ finales. While
the adults leisurely sipped sweet tea and laughed as they shared stories of their past
week’s goings-on, we kids explored the Disney-Land-like amenities of Mother Earth’s
backyard scoping out tad poles and crawdads in the slow moving creeks, and later filling
our Mason jars with lightning bugs to serve as lanterns for more exploring. Flashlights
were a little too “city” for us hillbillies. Don’t worry, no bugs were harmed in our exploits.
Mornings came quickly as we slumber partied most of the night, but there’s nothing
quite like instant coffee (mine composed mostly of milk and sugar), and eggs and bacon
cooked on a cast iron skillet magically secured over the still burning flames of the night’s
fire. Those were the days.
Nowadays I’ve become spoiled, for one by the luxury of a mattress as opposed to a
blanket on the tent’s floor, and most notably by the multitude of gorgeous, breathtaking
settings nearby that offer oh-so-much-more to experience. The camping possibilities are
endless in our necks of the woods, with lakes, rivers, mountains and exotic vegetation.
Let’s just say that my weekend outings in recent years to Coloma and the Ice House area,
to name a few, have definitely kicked my beloved pastime up a notch.
You can experience the same, if you haven’t already, with this month’s feature, “Happy
Camping” by Sharon Penny, in which she explores the great outdoors—citing some of
the best spots around for temporarily escaping the toils of reality and connecting with
bugs and bears, well...hopefully not the latter. And when it’s all said and done and you
reach your mailing address again, the perspective
gained by surviving simply makes the rat race of
daily life tolerable once again.
Another pastime perfect for gleaning fresh air
perspective is the topic of April’s co-feature, “Golf
to a Tee,” where you’ll find Kevin Elms’ lessons
for getting started on the golf course. Whether
you’re a pro or just starting, there’s something
to inspire everyone to partake in this now wildly
popular sport.
Until next month, get outside, take a
deep breath and let your inner child shine.•— Desiree

For Meadow Vista resident Richard
Hilton, paleontology is all about
the thrill of the hunt. As a young
boy, Hilton’s parents would take him to
the countryside to look for fossils and
arrowheads, an experience that gave
him a true apprecia-
tion for natural history.
Now chairman of the
Sierra College Natural
History Museum and
professor of Earth Sci-
ences at Sierra College,
Hilton continues to lead
expeditions all around
the world. On one trip
to Red Bluff, he came
across the partial re-
mains of a small dinosaur, one of the
oldest ever excavated in California. The
discovery laid the groundwork for his
book, Dinosaurs and Other Mesozoic
Reptiles of California.

Saying: “The price of wisdom is pain.”
Richard HiltonQ&A
Yet for Hilton, there is more joy in find-
ing Earth’s treasures than keeping them.
“If you came to my house, you probably
wouldn’t know I’m a geologist or paleon-
tologist,” he says with a laugh, explain-
ing that most of his discoveries are on
display at the Sierra Col-
lege Natural History Mu-
seum. These days, he is
working hard to expand
the museum’s offerings,
and he is also an emeri-
tus board member for
the Gateway Science
Museum at CSU Chico.
His motivation is simple:
He knows first-hand the
positive impact natural
history can make on a young person’s
life. “They come out of [the museum]
with different eyes, with a more educated
mind,” Hilton says. “They get inspired.” • — Amber Foster F

WHAT’S IN SEASON NOW: CARROTS!What comes in an array of bright colors, is sweet, and can be eaten boiled, roasted,
fried, steamed or raw? If you guessed the beta-carotene-rich carrot, you know your
vegetables!
The carrot is a root vegetable that’s likely to have come from Iran and Afghanistan
centuries ago. In early years, carrots were
grown for their leaves and not the roots.
Some relatives of the carrot include
parsley, fennel, dill and cumin.
SELECTION AND STORAGE:If you’re looking for the best carrots,
check for firmness and smooth texture.
If buying the orange variety, look for
the brightest color and avoid limp or
rubbery ones. For the freshest carrots,
seek out bunches with the greens at-
tached. Large carrots are usually the
sweetest, since the sugar is stored in the
veggie’s core.
If possible, don’t store carrots next to
apples, pears, potatoes and other fruits
and vegetables that produce ethylene gas,
which will cause the carrots to acquire a
bitter taste. If buying carrots with the tops,
Start planning your summer swim lessons and activities with the new “Big Book of
Fun,” brought to you by Roseville Parks, Recreation & Libraries. The 2013 Summer
Recreation Guide is available online and was delivered to all Roseville residents last
month.
Sign up for swim lessons at any of Roseville’s three pools; classes fill up quickly, so register
early. Also, be sure to mark your calendar for the opening of the Roseville Aquatics Complex
on Memorial Day weekend.
Summer is a great time to be a kid or teen in Roseville, thanks to a variety of summer
day camps, including nature, engineering, gymnastics, science and adventure themes. For
extra excitement and enjoyment, look to the marquee day camps, such as Camp Roseville
and Teen Scene, featuring fields trips and special events.
And summer isn’t just for the kids! Adults can stay active with dance classes, book clubs,
golf, and safety programs. New this summer is archery for adults; the bow and arrow activ-
ity has always been popular among kids, but now it’s time for grown-ups to join in the fun.

What is assisted living?
Assisted living communities offer
a lifestyle for older adults that’s
fairly unique; it not only provides secu-
rity and peace of mind of coordinated
support, but opportunities for engag-
ing in social events, outings, affinity
groups, wellness support and friend-
ship. A common response from many
who move into assisted living is, “Why
didn’t I do this sooner?” Those choos-
ing assisted living can be relieved of
yard care, home service coordination,
cooking meals, house upkeep and
overall stress from day-to-day home
ownership, as well as allowing them
to take advantage of what he/she re-
ally wants to be doing—enjoying life
to its fullest!

cut them off before storing, since they tend
to wilt faster if the greens are attached. Car-
rots should be washed gently prior to eat-
ing; peeling isn’t required if they’re organic.
HOW TO PAIR WITHLOCAL WINE:Barbera—an Italian, medium-bodied red
wine with fruity and spicy characteris-
tics—complements the sweet and savory
flavors of many carrot dishes, especially
Curry-Roasted Carrots (for the recipe,
visit stylemg.com), which offers a touch
of Indian flavors and is delicious with
braised lamb shanks. Even though Bar-
bera is an Italian varietal, it’s a versatile
food wine that marries well with other
European cuisines. Placer County offers
many fabulous Barberas, including the
2009 Bonitata, 2009 Popie Wines and
2009 Fawnridge. For more details, visit
placerwine.com.

Carrots and Summer Beans with Olive
Oil and Golden Raisins, visit stylemg.

local PlacerGROWN products, including
wine, visit placergrown.org.
DID YOU KNOW?Orange is the most common color
of carrot, but they can also be
found in a variety of other hues,
including white, yellow, red and
purple. Orange carrots contain
beta-carotene and are high in
vitamin A, which is vital for healthy
eyes. White carrots are thought to
be the least healthy variety but do
provide fiber, which is important
for optimal health. Purple carrots
have even more beta-carotene
than their orange cousins and
contain anthrocyanins (anti-
inflammatory agents). Carrots
can be as small as two inches or
as long as three feet. Most people
only eat the root (the orange
part), but carrot greens—although
slightly bitter—are also edible.

Human trafficking—defined by
Wikipedia as the illegal trade in
human beings for the purposes
of commercial sexual exploitation or
forced labor—is thriving in the U.S. It is
truly modern day slavery. Due to the shad-
owy and illegal nature of this problem,
hard statistics are hard to find. However,
some studies reveal that nearly 18,000
people are trafficked each year in the U.S.;
what’s more, sources indicate Sacramento
is one of the largest areas for this horrific
activity within California.
Helping to heal the broken hearts of
abused youth is Tammy Warta, the founder
and artistic director of Royal Stage Chris-
tian Performing Arts, a nonprofit located
in Roseville and Sacramento. Their work
is twofold: provide classes in performing,
dance and singing to the community and
give forgotten and abandoned children and
teens a place to communicate their feelings
through the same. So, when you sign up for
classes you provide income to give these
hopeless kids hope. Due to safety concerns,
the two groups never participate together.
Growing up, Warta admits she didn’t
always feel safe in her own environment,
so when she discovered that young people
were suffering so close to home she did
something about it. “We offer a safe place
for abused kids to express their anger and
grow,” Warta says.
Saint Thomas Aquinas reflected eight
centuries ago, “Faith has to do with things
that are not seen and hope with things
that are not at hand.” Faith and hope are
paramount to Warta, the teachers and
volunteers. “I was drawn toward a project
that brings healing and restoration.” The
group’s faith is stated simply as offering
creativity and community in Christ; their
hope is to bring formerly bleak young
people a new life.
Warta, a lifelong dancer, gave up her
passion when early artistic directors insisted
dancers perform in revealing costumes. It
wasn’t until Warta found a Christian-based
dance company while attending college at
UC Davis when she started dancing again.
“I found a dance program that met my per-
sonality, my morals and my love of dance,”
she explains.
To support their work with disadvan-
taged kids, Royal Stage offers classes on
all aspects of performing and brings profes-
sional productions to our community. Ages
of participants range from three years old
to baby boomers, and all are encouraged
to express themselves freely. The teachers
stress modesty, service to the community,
unconditional love and acceptance. “It is Ph

a safe place to sing, dance and act with-

from classes support their cause. “I abso-

the youth is inspiring,” says the mother of a
current student.

April is Donate Life Month, a month to raise awareness about the dire
need for organ donors. Most people only hear about organ donation
through TV dramas and movies, and have no idea about the vital need
here in the U.S., let alone in the area they live.
According to Tracy Bryan, APR , director of public relations for Sierra Donor
Services (SDS)— a non-profit, federally designated transplant donor network
serving nearly four million people in northern California and Nevada—“In the
Sierra Donor Services’ area (Sacramento and 10 surrounding counties), more
than 1,300 people [are waiting] for a lifesaving organ transplant. The need for
transplants far exceeds the number of donations in the area covered by SDS, and
across the nation. By way of example, there were only 8,125 deceased donors
in the U.S. in 2012. Currently, in the U.S., more than 116,000 people [are waiting]
for an organ transplant. One third of them will die waiting, because there aren’t
enough donors,” says Bryan.

DEBUNKING THE MYTHSWith so many myths and inaccurate in-
formation available, it can prevent people
from signing up as a donor. Below, Bryan
debunks some of the myths.
• Becoming a donor will not affect the
quality of your medical care. Organ re-
covery takes place only after all efforts to
save your life have been exhausted, and
two doctors have declared you legally
brain dead.
• The donor family pays none of the costs
associated with donation.
• If you are a donor, you can have an open
casket funeral.
• Transplants are accessible and avail-
able to everyone; celebrity status and
wealth do not enter into the equation.
Organs are allocated according to medi-
cal criteria (urgency of medical need,
blood/tissue type, height and weight).
• All major religions support or permit
donation and most consider it a gift or
an act of charity.
MY GIFT OF LIFEI was always a registered organ donor and
supported organ donation, but never in a
million years did I think I would need a trans-
plant to save my life. On Thanksgiving Day
of 2010, I woke up not feeling well and had
some pain in my right rib cage area. After
consulting “Dr. Google,” I diagnosed myself
with a gallbladder attack and followed up
with my primary care physician that fol-

FACTS AND FIGURESThe United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the private, non-profit organization
that manages the nation’s organ transplant system under contract with the Federal
Government. They keep an up-to-the-minute database of those waiting and of those
who are donors. As of January 20, 2013, at 5:38 p.m. EST, the waiting list consisted of:
With so many people on the waiting list, living donation, which offers an alternative
for individuals awaiting transplantation and increases the existing organ supply, has
become more common. In most instances, living donors are healthy individuals who
volunteer to provide a whole organ or a segment of an organ to help someone they
know who is waiting for a transplant.
Statistics can sometimes be overwhelming and difficult to understand, since people
are added and removed to the waiting list every day. One thing to remember is that
every number you view is a person—a person who’s either waiting for a lifesaving trans-
plant or a person who has left a lasting legacy through organ and tissue donation. Each
number represents a life: a mom, a dad, a brother, a sister, a child, or maybe even you.
lowing Monday. An ER trip and a three-day
hospital stay later, I was diagnosed with
hepatitis A—a viral infection that attacks
your liver.
Hepatitis A is normally passed through
contaminated food or water and only
about 3,600 cases are reported each year.
I’ll never know what food I ate that gave
me the disease; it can take 15-45 days to
develop symptoms and the health depart-
ment was never able to link any other cases
to pinpoint a grocery store or restaurant.
Nevertheless, doctors weren’t worried;
hepatitis A is rarely dangerous and isn’t a
chronic illness like the other types of hepati-
tis (it’s similar to the flu), and I was expected
to be better in a couple of weeks.
However, instead of getting better, I got
much worse. The entire month of Decem-
ber was pure hell. The virus continued to
attack my liver; I was throwing up multiple
times a day and my skin turned as yellow
as a highlighter. My liver tests continued to
get worse, and I was diagnosed with acute
liver failure; on December 29, 2010, I was
admitted back to the hospital, but this time
to California Pacific Medical Center in San
Francisco. My New Year’s Eve was spent
in the ICU, hoping the doctors could work
their magic and my liver would regenerate.
After New Year’s Day, I went downhill
fast and was listed on the transplant list with
a status 1A, meaning I had less than seven
days to live without a new liver. There is no
dialysis-type machine for your liver, so they
were trying everything they could to keep
me alive. I was given blood transfusions
to help clean the toxins in my blood, but
nothing worked. I was put into a medically
induced coma to help preserve my chances
of surviving surgery and to help with the
swelling on my brain. I was on a ventila-
tor, my body temperature was lowered to
90 degrees, and doctors drilled a hole in
my skull to relieve the pressure. January 7,
2011, was the scariest day for my family and
friends; my time was running out and with-
out a new liver they were told I would die.
The next day, I received a new liver: My
donor saved my life. Waking up after a 10-
day coma and being told a stranger saved
your life is a surreal experience; so many
emotions went through my head. I was
filled with sadness knowing someone had
to die for me to live. Why was I still alive
while my donor was not? It took me awhile
to realize my donor was going to die re-
gardless of me needing a transplant. The
hardest letter I’ve ever written was the one
to their family. What words can describe
how thankful I am for the gift I was given? I
can only hope that I honor my donor every
day by being the best person I can be. Each
breath I take is a gift from my donor.
AFTEr THE TrANSPLANTWhile I had to mentally process what had
just happened to me, I also needed to learn
a new way of life, a life of new rules to fol-
low. I learned quickly that compliance is the
magical word in a transplant’s life. Luckily I
have always been a rule follower so it was
easy to adjust. Each transplant hospital
has a list of guidelines and below are some
of mine:
• Pills. After my transplant, I was taking 47
pills per day; I now take 19. They include
anti-rejection drugs and other medicine
to offset the side effects of the anti-re-
jection medicine. Before the transplant,
I never liked taking any type of pill, so I
find it ironic that I now pop 19 easily.
• No alcohol. Even though my transplant
wasn’t a result of alcohol abuse, I’m not
allowed to have any. They don’t want
my liver having to work extra hard at
processing it. I asked if they would re-
move my new liver if I did drink, and they
wouldn’t, but they couldn’t approve me
if this liver failed and I needed another
transplant.
• No gardening without gloves. Luckily
I’ve never been known to have a green
thumb and who would want to touch
cow manure with their bare hands any-
ways?
• No sun. The anti-rejection drugs I take
significantly increase my risk of skin can-
cer. I’ve managed to go to Maui twice
and not get tan at all. My wrinkles love
this rule!
• No grapefruit. Weird, I know, but it
counteracts with my medicine. I missed
grapefruit at first, until my husband re-
minded me that in our seven years of
marriage he’s never seen me eat one.
• Become a germaphobe. OK, that was
not in my book of rules but I have a weak-
ened immune system so my chance of
getting sick is higher. I now am the crazy
lady walking around with hand sanitizer
at the gym, grocery store and anywhere
with crowds. I’m also paranoid about
food poisoning since that’s what made
me sick in the first place!
LIvING IN THE NOwI recently celebrated my two-year anniver-
sary of my liver transplant and I’m doing
great. Celebrating an extra two years of
life has proved I have a long life ahead of
me. I no longer consider myself “the sick
transplant patient,” but “the transplant pa-
tient who has a better life because of it.” I
never understood how people go through
horrible things and later say they wouldn’t
change a thing, but now I’m that person.
I can think of myself as unlucky to need a
transplant or extremely lucky to have been
given a second chance at life, and I’ve cho-
sen the latter. My life is so much better now
than it was before the transplant. I wake up
each day so thankful for what I have; I truly
stop and take a little extra time to smell the
roses and enjoy the small things that make
life so magical. I think the world would be a
much better place if everyone had a near-
death experience.
I now use my experience to spread the
word about organ donation, by volunteer-
ing as a Donate Life Ambassador with SDS,
educating the public about organ dona-
tion and transplantation, speaking to the
media, visiting hospitals and volunteering
at health fairs. I hope to alleviate the short-
age of organ donors and help more people
understand the importance of donation. •

plains that the length of time children spend
with their foster parents is situational; it can
range from weeks to permanently.
One program, and often the number
one goal for foster organizations, is concur-
rent planning. In these situations, children
are placed with foster parents who sup-
port the child, while the biological parents
work to rectify whatever situation caused
the child to be removed from the home.
When this program is successful, the child
is reunited with his/her birth parents. Many
organizations, including Sierra Forever
Families (SFF), look for parents who are
willing to adopt the child if reunification
doesn’t take place.
SFF Executive Director Bob Herne,
M.S.W., says, “No child should grow up in
the foster care system. It should be a short-
term, temporary solution that either ends
in reunification or adoption.” Herne and
SFF believe the more a child has to move
around, the more loss and trauma they
experience. They also specifically focus
on children who have at least one barrier
for adoption: age seven or older, teenag-
ers or those with health needs. Through
SFF’s Wonder Mentoring program, kids are
given opportunities to
see and do things they
may not otherwise be
able to; it’s also ideal
for those whom may
not be ready or able
to make the full foster

In some cases, these
mentors are the only
adults not paid to be

has an incredibly re-

There was an unfortunate period
of time when foster children were
bounced from home to home. One
can only imagine what this did for their
self-esteem. Behavioral problems were
often the result of only having temporary
homes, thus a stamp of delinquency was
placed on children in foster care. Thank-
fully, that time has passed (for the most
part). Foster organizations are doing in-
credible work to find permanency for the
millions of kids in the system and change
the reputation of fostering. In our area
alone, there are more than 3,000 children
in need of permanent homes.
Children are typically placed in foster
care when their home has been deemed
unsuitable for their safety by Child Protec-
tive Services. According to Donna Ibbotson
of Lilliput Children’s Services, foster care
organizations work to “find foster parents
who can provide nurture, structure, con-
sistency and stability for children who may
have never known those things.” She ex-

child’s life; often, they’re looking to com-
plete their own family, but Sara Hanson with
SFF encourages potential foster parents to
look at the needs of the children first, as this
outlook has the most rewarding outcome.
It’s important for parents to really under-
stand the mission or goal of the agency
with whom they’ll be working.
Through state and federal funding and
corporate and individual contributions, fos-
ter organizations are able to provide com-
prehensive support, including therapeutic
services for children and families, which
helps reduce the number of placements a
child might otherwise endure. Individuals
and couples—with or without kids—may
be considered for fostering. If interested,
contact a foster organization in your area
to get more information. •

ing and nutrition classes—are offered

Lighthouse also acts as an official diaper
bank and offers free counseling at every
school site within the Western Placer
Unified School District. It boasts 110 com-
munity partners and works to boost health
insurance enrollments and CalFresh pro-
gram signups, while also hosting the Placer
County Women Infant and Children pro-
gram and a public health clinic at its offices.
True to its namesake, the organization
frequently rallies for families when they
need burial support, medications and med-
ical care, etc. Recently, a family’s mother,
due to limited mobility, could not partici-
pate in program activities. After deciding
to have gastric bypass surgery, Lighthouse
staff secured for her the required physi-
cal and mental health assessments, when
it was discovered she had cancer. “Had
the family not been in our wellness class
identifying goals, and had the mother not
received a free physical, the cancer may
have progressed further,” Ponivas says.
“Now, committed to a healthier way of
life, she has lost over 30 pounds without
gastric bypass, and the family as a unit has
made tremendous progress.”
Success stories like these are particu-
larly impressive given that Lighthouse
operates in the critically underfunded
mental health field. And yet, despite
funding shortfalls and high demand,
Lighthouse remains a beacon, earning
“Best Non-Profit 2012” honors from the
Lincoln Area Chamber of Commerce and
recognition as “Best in Collaboration on
a Long-Standing Basis” by the Placer
Collaborative Network in 2012. •

than a seed. A group of community lead-
ers formed the organization in 1996, af-
ter noticing that some children were not
performing well academically—not due to
inability, but to fractious and impoverished
home environments. It would go on to earn
non-profit status in 2005, and today serves
approximately 3,000 Placer County resi-
dents annually—at no cost to beneficiaries,
who because of the nonprofit’s benevolent
backing, have improved their quality of life.

Executive Director Angela Ponivas. “Many

The lighthouse has always signaled
a safe harbor—for mariners who
look to its radiance to help navigate
treacherous seas, and for those finding
metaphorical shelter in its warm cast. It’s
in this spirit that Lincoln-based Lighthouse
Counseling and Family Resource Center
operates, providing complimentary coun-
seling services and resources to help Placer
County residents chart a safer course.
The organization’s therapeutic re-
sources have helped countless local fami-
lies move from crisis to collaboration. “We
are working as a family again, not as ad-
versaries,” one matriarch notes. “Although
I was defensive at first, I truly recognize the
value of therapy in our lives.”
It’s a realization Lighthouse cultivates
through tireless advocacy. Though its
mission is not a new idea, its holistic ap-
proach—one that addresses physical and
mental health, as well as family dynamics,
with the intent to buoy those receiving ser-
vices to play a more positive, contributive
role in the community—is.
As progressive as this ethos has proved,

program. “The thing you’ve got to be careful with families, is
burning that person out,” Shaw says. “They can sometimes
become sick before the person they’re caring for does.”
Also, having an external caregiver other than a family mem-
ber allows that family member to maintain their role. “So the
son stays the son, the husband or wife stays the husband or
wife,” Dawes says, “and doesn’t have to be the caregiver, the
doctor, the attorney and all of those roles.”
PRIVATE VS. AGENCYThe advantages of hiring a private caregiver as opposed to
going through an agency mainly include lower hourly cost
and the ability to do certain things agencies aren’t allowed to
do by regulation.
On the other hand, private caregivers may not have a lot
of perks agencies provide, including backup, a background
check, workman’s compensation policy, bonding, auto and
liability insurance. “What do you do when somebody is unable
to shower or make meals or transport themselves, then sud-
denly the private caregiver, frankly, disappears, or is ill?” Harlow
asks. An agency will provide backup and screened and trained
caregivers and in addition, agencies also provide oversight.
Harlow has three people in the field—an LVN, a gerontologist
and a social worker, who drop in on a regular basis to see what’s
really happening with their cases.
“Don’t be afraid to reach out to people if you start to look
around and realize that in your own home things aren’t going
the way they should go,” Harlow says. “Take that hour away and
start looking for information or asking questions.”
Once you’ve sought advice and looked at some options,
it’s a good idea to seek a consultation with an agency, which is
generally free of charge. “That’s why we go out and do an as-
sessment,” Harlow says, “so that we can work with each client
or family to find what will be best for them.” • Ph

homeward boundChoices and Challengesin Caregivingby Margaret Snider
When parents or
other loved ones
can no longer
be on their own, it requires
a huge change in the life of
the person who becomes re-
sponsible for their care. Marie
Harlow, founder and owner of
Harlow’s Help at Home, says
one of the best things to do
is to reach out to others who
are in the same situation. “Hos-
pices, senior centers—actually
talk to people there, drop by,
spend half an hour,” Harlow
says. “There’s a family care-
giver support group in every
county in California.”
Harlow herself was thrown
into the situation when her
mother was diagnosed with
cancer and died within a year
of the diagnosis. “I was griev-
ing and my dad was declining,
and showing overt, very obvi-
ous signs of dementia, as did
my aunt,” Harlow says. “Within
months, they were both diag-
nosed with probable Alzheim-
er’s and I was responsible for
them. At 40 [years old] I had
inherited the entire responsi-
bility.”
HIRING HELPHaving a family member try
to do it all can be devastating,
says Harlow, and she is echoed
by Buck Shaw, owner of Home
Instead Senior Care and Larry
Dawes, social worker and
geriatric care manager with
Eskaton’s Live Well at Home

It takes imagination, skill and hard work to turn an empty canvas into a dream outdoor
space. But that’s exactly what Favian Mercado, of Mercado Construction & Design,
Inc. in Folsom, accomplished for his clients. Beginning with a large grassy lawn and
the architect’s plans, he expanded this Granite Bay home’s outdoor living area, making it
more accessible for entertaining and enjoyment of the surroundings.
The clients found Mercado through a magazine advertisement for his business. Though
they interviewed several contractors in their search, they ultimately selected his company
to take on the ambitious project. After evaluating the design provided by the architect,
Mercado and his team were able to redesign a better layout, one that not only lowered the
overall cost of the project, but also met the clients’ needs.
“We incorporated the new area with an existing house project we were building to con-
nect the two areas together better,” Mercado shares. “Our design provided an enhanced
outdoor living space that fit within the current surroundings.”
The first order of business was expansion of the yard. They accomplished this with a
foundation of colored, stamped concrete that began at the foot of the home’s exterior and
continued all the way down a gentle slope to the pool area. To create independent spaces
for outdoor entertaining, they built two oversized wood trellises, each framing an outdoor
dining area and kitchen. The trellises received a romantic, Old World treatment with ornate
pre-cast columns, each with accent lighting, ceiling fans, mister systems for hot summer
days, and patio bra covers for added protection. For Mercado, the trellis structures were
definitely the highlight of the project. “They are proportional to the size of the yard and are
architecturally pleasing,” he says, “…designed for entertaining and relaxation.”

Backyard Overhaulby Darren Elms

Grassy lawn before the remodel
The outdoor kitchen addition included a
built-in grill with halogen lights and a digital
thermometer, ice maker, refrigerator, sink
and faucet, stainless steel storage drawers
and countertops with a raised bar area.
Though the original project was es-
timated at $65,000, the budget was
expanded at the clients’ request to ac-
commodate more features. The addition
of another covered trellis structure and
the final outdoor kitchen brought in an
additional cost of $32,000. In the end, the
project totaled out at $97,000 and took
four months to complete.
Was it worth the expense and time
commitment? The results surely speak
for themselves. Not only were the clients
pleased with the final project, but it also
met their needs and expectations. Now
they can look forward to many warm, fun-
filled summer nights in their beautiful out-
door living space. •

Style’s Favorite Places to Pitch a Tentby Sharon Penny
happycamping
The weather’s warming, the days are longer, and with that extra hour
of daylight there’s one word glowing on the horizon: camping. Ah,
camping. Whether you’re a glamper who prefers the finer things
in life, a family looking for a friendly campground, a camper
seeking solitude and a tranquil getaway, an adventure-seeker
out for thrills, or someone short on time yearning for a quick
weekend away from urban-life craziness, Style has you completely covered!
Well, not literally—you’ll still need to bring your own tent.

If the dirt sleeping and outdoor bathroom aspect of camping has you thinking
you’ll take a pass on the great outdoors, you might consider glamping. Translation:
glamorous camping with creature comforts. (Heavy on comfort, light on creatures.)
American River Resort has creature comforts cornered. For a start, you’re in
the heart of the great outdoors. And when we say “in,” we mean in your premium
American River Resort cabin: living room, bedroom, bathroom, fully appointed
kitchen, even Wi-Fi (!), plus a river-view veranda. No foraging for nuts and berries,
just fresh air and nature’s gifts…with a hot shower and a comfortable bed. They don’t
have a butler service (yet), but if your idea of getting away means not depriving
yourself of running water and flushing toilets, this is the campground for you. And if
you ever have a change of heart about the whole roughing it thing, American River
Resort has plenty of campsites (and RV hookups)!

A former Gold Rush-era immigrant camp (hence the name), at first sight Camp
Far West Lake might seem an unlikely hub for adventure seekers. But this quaint
lake is a well-known, off-the-radar magnet for boating, waterskiing, jet skiing,
wakeboarding, drag boating and fishing (for those who prefer their adrenaline
in smaller doses). Just ask the locals. As well, there are 29 miles of shoreline,
boat ramps and plenty of open-area camping. The North Shore (Wheatland) is
open year-round, and the South Shore (Lincoln) is open from mid-May through
September. Spring is the most attractive time of year to visit Camp Far West Lake,
when the grass is green and the oak trees are in full spread. Summer of course
is the most popular time, and come June the lake will be home to the Wake Surf
Open, a weekend-long wakeboard extravaganza. Whenever you visit, whatever
thrills you seek, do us a favor and bring your safety gear!

In warm weather, crowds
are often a mainstay of
any popular campground. If
you’re inclined to get away
from it all, and by “it” you mean
people, and by “all” you mean every last human,
then a more serene, isolated campground might
be more your style.
Those in search of serenity will find it at Bear
River Park and Campground just outside Colfax.
With 23 family and two group campsites, you
won’thavetofightanykindofcrowd;each
campsite sits right alongside the river, so
Mother Nature herself is your friendly neighbor.
Imagine waking to the gentle sounds of the
river, and sipping a cup of coffee in the morning
sun. Sold, right? Bring along a flotation device
and head up the river a mile or so for a leisurely
float downstream, or go exploring among the
trails. Bear River’s wealth of nature’s gifts will
allow you to live deliberately and satisfy your
inner Thoreau.
Boasting 500,000 visitors annually, and
featuring eight campgrounds—from close to
the water to woodsy and secluded sites—plus
numerous trails for hiking, mountain biking, or
even equestrian trails for the “horsey family,” Sly
Park couldn’t be more family-friendly if it tried.
Let’s talk location. You and your family will be
camping by the crystal clear Jenkinson Lake, big
enough for boating and/or fishing, yet perfect
for swimming or just relaxing. Jenkinson Lake
is actually a reservoir, which means plenty of
calm water to entice even the most water-shy
little ones. Surrounded by towering pines and
wildlife, you’ll feel like you’re a million miles from
civilization. With so much to do, and so much
beautiful scenery to enjoy, the only downside
of bringing your family here is they won’t want
to leave!

Say “camping” and people usually envision a lot of travel, which
is fine if you’re determined to get away from it all for an extended
period of time. But for the weekend, sometimes the getaway you’re seeking is right
in your own backyard. For Folsomites and Roseville-dwellers especially, Folsom Lake
is the perfect quick getaway for close-by camping. Beal’s Point Campground, part
of Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, can get pretty crowded in the summertime,
but it’s a great spot for a short getaway on those warm spring weekends too. Swim,
fish,hike,orheadaroundtothemarinaandenjoyboatingonthelake;there’splenty
of activities to take advantage of. Bring your bikes or jogging shoes and trek the
American River Bike Trail that starts at Beal’s Point—it can take you all the way into
downtown Sacramento if you’re so inclined.

COFFEE ISFOR CAMPERSRoughing it should never mean going without coffee.Aerobie AeroPress: Cheap and
portable comprising two interlocking
plastic cylinders, and the wonders
of vacuum brewing. Makes coffee
or espresso. (We know. It had you at
hello, right?)
Brunton Flip N’ Drip: Heat the water
in the carafe. Twist on the coffee filter
and drinking mug, flip it over and
brew a delicious cup of coffee!
French Press: Grab a stainless steel
thermal French press from a camping
supply store. Not fancy or scientific
but it’s delicious coffee that stays hot!
MSR Mugmate Tea/Coffee Filter: A
simple reusable filter that fits in your
travel mug: just add your tea leaves
or coffee grounds, pour over some
hot water, cover it with the lid and let
it steep. Voila!
Pro tip: Before you go camping,
pre-grind and measure out your
coffee into portion-size containers
or bags ready for your morning
coffee ritual.
GREAT CAMP EATS: THERE’S MORE THAN S’MORESChoconana: Cut banana lengthways with skin on. Add chocolate pieces,
mini-marshmallows, nuts, etc. Wrap in foil and bury in coals. Leave for 10
minutes. Unwrap. Put in face.
Baked apple: Core an apple and set it on a sheet of tinfoil. Mix together some
raisins,cinnamonandsugar;filltheholewiththemixture.Wrapinfoil,setin
coals for 10-15 minutes. Voila!
Campfire popcorn: Put 2 tablespoons popcorn and 2 tablespoons oil on
a large square of foil and seal into a loose pouch. Tie a length of string to
one corner of the pouch and tie the string to a stick. Shake the pouch over
campfire until it’s popped. Eat!
CAMPING GADGETSUtility Knife: A Swiss Army knife, a
Leatherman, whatever floats your boat.
You will need it and you will use it. Plus,
they’re cool.
Collapsible Bowls: These rubber/plastic combos store flat and pop into shape
when they’re ready to use. Check your favorite camping supplier.
Jetboil: A one-liter travel mug attached to a small portable burner. No big
deal—except that it boils water in two minutes. Come on, you need one…even
if just to grin smugly at your co-campers.
Headlight: A small powerful flashlight that you strap to your head. Accidentally
drop your flashlight into the campground portaloo and you will suddenly see
the wisdom of these nerdy-looking headlights. They’re also great for impromptu
campfire dance parties.

Take It from the Tap…
It Just Makes Cents.
The cost of one 16 oz. plastic bottle of water or over 1,500 gallons of fresh, high quality Roseville tap water!
The amount of disposable plastic bottles you can save each year by using a reusable bottle.
The best part about a reusable bottle, you can refill at places you eat, drinking fountains, work…just about any place with a faucet.
Did you know that EPA rules and regulations are stricter for tap water than bottled water? Roseville tap water meets or exceeds all State and Federal Standards. In fact, we perform (and pass) over 2,000 laboratory tests of our water each year!

Greater Sacramento’s Best Golf ValueDiscover…
A Sport Fore the Whole Familyby Kevin Elms
golf to a tee
Golf has come a long way over the years. It’s broken through the
barriers of what once was a wealthy elitist’s game and transi-
tioned into one that families from all backgrounds can enjoy
together. Professional golfers like Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Rickey
Fowler have become the superstars of their generation. They grace the
cover of Sports Illustrated, Wheaties boxes, and have even been seg-
mented on TMZ. Their celebrity status has made them role models to a
younger generation and has made golf just as popular, if not more popular,
than other major sports.
MY LOVE OF THE GAMEI remember my first golfing experi-
ence; it was at the ripe young age
of eight. My dad let me skip school,
which was a treat in itself. It was a
Wednesday morning and he was
playing with a few friends. And even
though the course rules stated you
had to be 16 years old, he let me
drive the cart. Every time the mar-
shal drove past we switched seats
to avoid getting in trouble; this hap-
pened numerous times throughout
the round, but I never got caught.
When we got to the 12th hole, I no-
ticed it had a giant water hazard. I
asked Dad if I could take a swing
and hit it into the water. We had no
groups behind us and his friends
thought it’d be funny to see, so Dad
agreed. It was a par 3, 186 yards. I
grabbed my dad’s driver, which was
too big for me, and set the ball up
on the tee. Squinting down on that
Titleist, I swung the club as hard as
I could. Expecting to see a splash,
everyone was amazed to see the
ball soar toward the green. I can still
remember everyone’s faces as we
walked over to see my ball two feet
away from the hole. I hit it closer
than everyone in the group, includ-
ing my dad. Needless to say, I was
hooked on the game and still have
that ball as a memento.
It usually only takes one great
personal moment to fall in love with
the game of golf. After my moment,
Dad signed me up for lessons with
the local golf pro, which helped me
gain a clearer understanding of the
game. Lessons are not only instruc-
tional, but can be great for every
member of the family. No matter
your skill level, getting hands-on
training will improve your level of
play.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GOGetting outside for 18 holes and
herding the whole family together
can sometimes pose a challenge.
The most important thing is to find
a course close to home. Depending
on your skill level, I recommend us-

ing a 2-iron or 3-wood. Every course
plays at different levels of difficulty,
but you can choose from multiple
tees to fit your family’s skill level.
GEAR UPOnce you’ve found the right course,
start looking for gear. When looking for
clubs, most people just go for the top
name brands. This is usually a big mis-
take and could affect the way you play.
Always test your clubs before buying
them. Almost every pro shop or golf
specialty store will let you demo driv-
ers, irons and putters before making
the final purchase. Places like Golf-
smith and course pro shops have
many options to choose from
and can make in-store altera-
tions to your clubs for an
even better feel and
swing. After clubs,
comes finding a bag.
I recommend a bag
with wheels or a pull
cart to go along with
your bag, which will
give you the option to walk the course.
Walking 18 holes sounds tedious, but it
can be a healthy bonding experience
with the family. Now it’s time to dress
for success. The days of knickers and
sweaters are long gone, although ele-
ments from the past are alive in today’s
styles. Unless you’re at a country club
where dress code is
strictly enforced,
it’s key to dress
for comfort. Es-
pecially when walk-
ing the course, you want
to be as comfortable
as possible. Most major
athletic brands such as
Nike, Adidas and Puma
produce clothing and
shoes specifically for
golf. Always remember
to wear enough layers
to brave the elements.
Starting a round in the
morning may require a
heavy jacket, then as the
weather improves it’s time
to move to a light sweater,
and when the day peaks
dress down to your polo. I
can’t emphasize dressing
for comfort enough. It will
make the round and your
swing more enjoyable.
LESSONS LEARNEDNow that you have all your gear,
let’s move on to improving that swing.
Before you hit the links, take a lesson
with a local golf pro. Lessons are ben-
eficial for a child’s first experience or for
a seasoned player’s improvement. Some
golf pros offer family rates, charge per

FUN WITH THE FAMILYAs you walk from hole to hole, find fun,
fresh ways to challenge yourself and
your family. have contests, such as lon-
gest drive, closest to the hole or best
putt. This will get the kids excited, and
it’s far better than playing lowest score.
And remember: Although you’re playing
as a family, golf is an individual sport
and it’s easy to get frustrated with your-
self, which can sometimes be hard for
younger players and dent their confi-
dence. Explain to your kids that practice
makes perfect. Most importantly, have
fun! Golf is a great game—one that’s
become more family-oriented in recent
years. With the arrival of spring and
warmer temps, round up your family
and take advantage of this great game.
As well, most golf courses have a “twi-
light” greens fee starting around 3-4
p.m., letting you play until dark at a re-
duced rate—an excellent opportunity for
families, or anyone, to practice without
breaking the bank. Fore! •

Grandma, Nana, Nonni, Mimi…call
her what you will, but there was
just something magical about
your grandmother’s kitchen. When I re-
cently found myself hankering for some
homey food but unwilling to actually
cook it myself, I made the trip over to
Grandma’s Kitchen in Granite Bay for
some comfort.
As my dining partner and I settled into
the huge booths and scanned the menu, I
was pleasantly surprised to see the vari-
ety of breakfast and lunch items we had
to choose from. I was similarly pleased
to learn that the family-friendly eatery
doesn’t own a freezer or use canned
goods—a true guarantee of freshly pre-
pared, made-to-order food.
Drinking our piping hot coffee, we
chatted with neighboring diners as we
waited for our selections: a California om-
elet and a California (sensing a theme?)
burger. The omelet, huge and satisfyingly
fluffy, was prepared with three eggs, jack
and aged white Cheddar cheese, bacon,
tomato and avocado. Don’t judge me; I
dine
Truth be told, I’m still trying to figure out how Grandma’s
Kitchen did it.
Grandma’s KitchenCustom Comfort Food by Kelly Soderlund
gobbled the whole thing with a gusto that
didn’t stop there. Next I concentrated on
my dining partner’s burger, accompa-
nied by buffalo fries. That’s right, folks:
buffalo fries, tossed with buffalo sauce
and topped with green onions. Some-
how, perhaps with that abracadabra all
grandmothers seem to possess, these
addictingly delicious spuds were nei-
ther soggy nor sloppy. Truth be told, I’m
still trying to figure out how Grandma’s
Kitchen did it. I’m not ashamed to say I
polished these off, too (OK, maybe just
a little). The burger itself, presented on
a buttery, croissant-like roll, was topped
with the same ingredients as the omelet
and similarly portioned.
As we waited on the check, I finally
took a look around the restaurant. An
open kitchen with a breakfast bar domi-
nates the center, with table set-ups
forming a U-shape around its perimeter.
Family photos adorn the walls, some
in black and white, making Grandma’s
Kitchen’s name not just a moniker, but
also the embodiment of an ideal. Which
may remind you of your own grand-
mother. I’m pretty sure that’s the point. •

Puerco PibilFrom Flavors of Belize: The Cookbook
recipe by chef Sean Kuylen
(McNab Publishing, 2012, $47.95)
• 5 lb. pork shoulder or pork leg, bone-in
• 1 head garlic
• 1 1/2 tbsp. salt
• 2 tsp. cumin
• 1 1/2 tsp. allspice
• 1 1/2 tbsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp. red recado, diluted to form
paste
• 1/2 cup sour orange juice
• 2 medium onions, quartered
• 2 medium green bell peppers,
quartered
• 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
• Smoked banana leaves
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Pierce
pork with knife and insert garlic cloves all
around. Mix all dry ingredients; combine
with recado (diluted in orange juice) and
coat pork. Marinate overnight. Place pork in
large roasting pan lined with banana leaves.
Add onion, sweet pepper and place cilantro
on top. Pour remaining marinade liquid and
add more water to pan to approximately 1
inch high. Cover with banana leaves and
seal tightly with foil. Bake for 5 hours or
until meat is very tender and starts to
release from the bone. Shred pork and
serve on warm corn tortillas topped
with pickled red onions or habanero
salsa.
The pork can also be cooked in a
slow cooker, on low, for 12 hours, or
on high for 6 hours. Serves 8
Cochinita (small pig) pibil (to
bury) literally translates to “buried
whole suckling pig.” Traditionally,
you should marinate the pork in
the same manner, but cook the
whole pig wrapped in banana
leaves underground with fire
wood and hot stones for hours
until tender.

cultivated in California since its arrival from Europe in the early 19th century.
It wasn’t until the 1990s when Zinfandel was confirmed to be Italy’s Primitivo,
which originally came from Croatia. Here in the Sierra Foothills, wineries are
well known for producing great Zinfandels. One of those great Zins is the 2010
Special Reserve Zinfandel from Shenandoah Vineyards, a winery owned and
operated by the Sobon family since 1977. The grapes for this wine are grown in
one of the oldest vineyards in the area, Paul’s Vineyard (Paul Sobon is the wine-
maker); the vines were planted before prohibition and are very low producing.
This wine variety has been amazing for a long time, but the 2010 vintage is
exceptional! It has intense fruit-forward flavors of ripe plum and cocoa, and is a
bold mouth-filling wine that will go well with a variety of foods, including lamb,
duck and this month’s flavorful pork recipe, Puerco Pibil. Have a taste of “old
vine Zinfandel” for approximately $11 a bottle. Cheers!•—richard righton

Describe your business.
At our office, we treat people the way we want to be treated. We listen to our
guests and help them accomplish their wishes. We offer Invisalign, veneers, all
porcelain crowns and fillings; we also offer specialized treatments for guests
suffering from gum disease. It all depends on what our guests want us to do
for them.
What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experi-
ence?
My first job was working for my dad at his homecare company. I would go into
people’s houses with my dad and watch him talk to his customers. They were
all sickly, and I saw how my dad took time to visit with them. He genuinely
cared about all of them. His goal was to sit down with each person and see
how they were doing, if they were okay and if he could help somehow. My dad
taught me at an early age how to care for people and go the extra mile for
them; he taught me how to treat others the way I want to be treated.
Why is your staff the best in the business?
My team cares about you and your desires more than other dental offices; try us and
you’ll see.
What life accomplishments are you most proud of?
Being a great husband and father, which will always come before my work. Being a
great dentist is third on the list.
And finally, customer service is…?
Customer service is listening to people and helping them achieve what they want
to achieve—not about what I think you need. I hate entering a store and being told
I need this or I need that. I love when I’m listened to, and that’s how I run my dental
office and treat our guests—based on how I like to be treated or how I want my
family to be treated.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?
For the last eight years I’ve been a personal trainer (after finishing my degree on
a full-ride sports scholarship). It found me when I was about six years old, which is
when I fell in love with sports and fitness.
How are you involved with both the community and your customer?
I try to get involved with any charity event I can fit into my schedule. I’ve done mud
runs, foam runs, Tough Mudders, the Hot Pink Fun Run (a breast cancer fundraiser),
and the Run to Feed the Hungry, to name a few.
What life accomplishments are you most proud of?
Getting a full athletic scholarship to a division one school, and being able to
play soccer with some of the best players in the world.
What’s your biggest job perk?
I love that I’m able to really get to know my clients; seeing them three times
a week makes them part of my extended family.
Where do you and your family go locally to have fun?
We like to pack a picnic and go on a bike ride through Folsom, or take a hike
to one of the many nearby waterfalls.
if you could meet someone living or dead, who would it be and why?
Ellen DeGeneres—she’s a strong, independent and successful woman who stands
up for what she believes in and helps people through laughter.
What’s your favorite local event that you go to?
I love to do charity runs for cancer; losing my mom to cancer this year has made
those events even more important.
And finally, customer service is…?
Listening to my clients and their needs, then trying to fulfill those needs with my
education and skills in a fun and motivating way.

Describe your business.
Buybabydeals.com is a unique shopping experience that allows you to purchase
bargains for Mommy, baby and child (dads too of course) up to a fraction of their
retail price! We offer a positively unique item every day at prices up to 80 percent
off retail. Starting at 9 a.m. PST daily, there’s one new deal of the day and a few
extended deals for adorable items you loved but missed. Everything we feature has
been inspected by the pickiest mommy critics and tried by our infants, all the way
up to our big kids. We know our stuff. Our products are geared toward expecting
mommies, experienced mommies, daddies and even grandparents. We feature fun
products and goods for those ages newborn and up to 10 years. And rest assured,
everything has been passed through our mommy stamp of approval and personally
inspected by us before it ships to you.
What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience?
We come from a long line of entrepreneurs, so my first job was working at my par-
ents’ beauty salon/day spa when I was 13 years old. I learned at a very young age
that customer service is number one. If a customer isn’t happy with the product or service
they received, they’ll share the information with their friends. You can either create a great
reputation or destroy it very quickly.
What life accomplishments are you most proud of?
My three beautiful children and being able to balance work, home and family life, which is
a struggle for most working moms and dads today. As a parent you are pulled in so many
directions—sometimes it’s hard to put the brakes on and remember what matters most:
your family!
What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?
Mikuni—my loyalty card keeps paying off too!
And finally, customer service is…?
Number one; it will make or break you!
Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?
I’m a portrait photographer; photography definitely found me.
How are you involved with both the community and your customer?
I’m the exclusive photography partner with THE STuDIO Martial Arts and Fitness in Gran-
ite Bay. I also participate in the annual Help Portrait event, which provides free professional
photography to disadvantaged people.
What life accomplishments are you most proud of?
That’s easy: my wife and our two wonderful daughters.
Who is your role model in business or in life, and why?
My parents are the biggest role models in my life—they taught me how to raise a
close and loving family.
Where do you go when the going gets tough?
My wife and I usually escape to Las Vegas once a year to recharge our batteries.
What’s your biggest job perk?
Being able to make a living doing what I love.
What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?
Paul Martin’s American Bistro—great food, service and atmosphere.
Where do you and your family go locally to have fun?
We love playing laser tag at Laser Craze.
if you could meet someone living or dead, who would it be and why?
George Washington—after winning the Revolutionary War he could have made himself
king; instead he helped shape our young republic.
if you could be any other profession, what would it be?
A movie director.
And finally, customer service is…?
The most important part of my business.

back; I can’t tell if she’s thinking “You’re
welcome” or “Did you see that? That was
awesome!” Probably both.
Diamond, on the other hand, is our
elderly white lab. She’s going on 14 now,
which is pretty much “assisted living”
in dog years. Diamond used to get as
worked up as Bella before a walk. Her tail
would wag so hard it became a happy
weapon that bruised shins and knocked
knick-knacks from end tables. Now,
even though she’s got arthritis and more
lumps than a beginner’s mashed pota-
toes, she still likes to go. At the sound of
the word she’ll pad over to me gingerly,
her tail flitting back and forth with as
much enthusiasm as she can muster and
an expression on her face that can only
be described as grateful.
If she were a person, Diamond would
need a HurryCane. But boy, back in the
day, she could outrun the wind. Unlike
Bella, she lived to chase a ball. I had one
of those tennis ball flinger-things that
could rocket the ball 75 yards away with
ease, and she could almost reach it be-
fore it stopped rolling. Then she’d gallop
back, her ears flapping behind her like
two flags in a windstorm, and plop it at
my feet. That could go on for hours. As
she got older, the catch sessions grew
shorter until gradually, sniffing became
her new hobby. Getting to the field as
quickly as possible is no longer impor-
tant (she used to pull our boys on skate-
boards like a suburban sled dog). Now
all she wants to do is stop and smell the
roses…and the lawns, the fire hydrants,
the neighbors’ car tires. And pee on most
of them too, which I guess is dog for “Dia-
MoNd Wuz HeRe.”
In fact, I should take them for a walk
right now. Or maybe, all this time, they’ve
been taking me. •

ing Show on New Country 105.1; or

wear, I think she should have a little cus-
tom-made saddle.
Bella isn’t a ball-chasing kind of dog.
I’m not sure if that’s because she’s too
stupid, or too smart. Her idea of fun is
hitting the empty field behind our neigh-
borhood, where I unclip her to do what
she loves most: protect the world from
dangerous jackrabbits and pheasants of
ill repute. With her nose to the ground
she takes off through the brush—until the
culprits are flushed from their tangled
hideouts. More than once I’ve had the
holy living crap scared out of me when
a long-eared rabbit or colorful bird sud-
denly explodes from a clump of grass in
front of me to escape our hoagie-sized
hellhound. Bella will chase the animal
for a few yards before halting with her
diminutive chest puffed out and rather
smug look on her face. Then she’ll glance
If you’ve ever seen a five-year-old
learn it’s Christmas morning, or they
are going to Disneyland and all they
have to eat for the whole trip are candy
canes and cake, you might see the kind of
reaction my dogs have every time I utter
the word walk.
They could be dead asleep, two
rooms away, but when I say walk, they’ll
come bounding up to me like the next
contestants on The Price Is Right. I’m
actually bracing myself right now just
typing the word, because I’m not so sure
they can’t read my mind.
We have two dogs. Bella is a seven-
year-old chiuweenie. When she hears
walk, she’ll rear back repeatedly on her
hind legs, her front feet pawing at the
air like a miniature version of the Lone
Ranger’s horse. Instead of the God-awful
sweaters my wife sometimes makes her
