his is the time of year when most parents are getting ready send their kids back to school. Like most kids, I always dreaded going back to school. I always enjoyed my summers, which usually consisted of sleeping in, hanging with friends, hitting the mall and staying up late. In the weeks leading up to the first day school, I would have nightmares of worst-case scenarios. I would show up to school barefoot, lose my class schedule or get lost on campus. This didnt just happen during my high school years, but in college, too. My favorite part of going back to school was going clothes shopping.
Mayra Rab Interim Editor
Sometimes I felt like I was going to school to put on a fashion show. I usually had my annual eye exam in the summer, and because I have horrible vision, I got to pick out new frames every year. I always enjoyed picking out a different style each year always looking for something that was trendy. What was in style then definitely isnt in style now. According to Dr. Kevin Lockhart, the geek look is all the rage. People
are going for bolder looks rather than the rimless frames. Go to page 18 to learn about other trends in eyewear. Traveling was something I didnt do much of as a child. I would have enjoyed seeing all that the country has to offer. Well one local family is doing just that. The Arredondo family of Granite Bay is visiting all 50 states in 50 weeks in an RV (flying to Alaska and Hawaii, of course). Read all about their plans on page 41. Remember, school is almost in session, so drive safely!

t Brighton Schools, a day care and preschool in Granite Bay, parents benefit from a useful tool for talking with their children about their day. The schools daily email updates tell parents what the children did each day and offer ideas for continuing the learning at home. Formerly known as Granite Bay Learning Center, Brighton kicks off its 20th year in Granite Bay this fall. The school has reason for celebration, with a recent accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children and a new junior kindergarten program starting this fall.
Brighton also operates a private elementary school at its Natoma Station campus in Folsom, offering kindergarten through grade five, and another day care and preschool center in Folsom. Parents at the Granite Bay location say they value the schools emphasis on parental involvement, a quality NAEYC measures in its accrediting process. Mom Julie Rigby said the feedback Brighton provides parents was especially important to her and her husband, both of whom work, when they selected a day care center for the elder of her two daughters six years ago.
We were going to miss out on probably a lot of stuff, Rigby said. Armed with Brightons Daily News email, Rigby keeps communication channels open. It helps me reinforce what theyre learning, she said. According to the NAEYC website, Recent studies show that when families are involved in their childrens education in positive ways, the children achieve higher grades and test scores, have better attendance at school, complete more homework, and demonstrate more positive attitudes and behavior.

continued from page 4 Brighton teacher Beth Cundiff believes that communication with parents leads to happy youngsters. Cundiff has a goal of talking with each parent of the children in her two-to-threes preschool class at Granite Bay at least once a week. School should just be a continuation of home and I think the more that parents and teachers are communicating, the more that children are going to feel that, she said. Cundiff said teachers communicate with parents in several ways, including short interactions at drop-off and pick-up times, email and handwritten notes, and parent-scheduled teacher conferences when need-

ed. The school uses a written note system whereby parents can post notes to teachers to alert them to situations, such as a child not sleeping well the previous night. Brighton Director of Operations Kelley Wheeler said parents should develop a good relationship and respect for their childs teacher. Theyre going to feel that trust that you have and so its going to rub off on them, said Wheeler, who has worked in administration 14 of her 17 years at Brighton. Her other tips for parents in staying involved in their childrens education include making a point of slowing down the morning getting-ready routine. Let them know that youre not rushed and that you have the time to

made the switch to the Natoma Station campus for kindergarten last year. We have been extremely pleased with everything and the opportunities that our girls have had there. That was one of the reasons why we continued on to the private (elementary) school. Wheeler said the Granite Bay locations NAEYC accreditation highlights the schools emphasis on excellence. We have a continuum for learning. Were doing it the right way and making sure that we master certain skills before we move forward. She said the new junior kindergarten program includes the structures and experiences of kindergarten in a small setting. Its going to be really fabulous in giving those children an extra year, she added.
Maintain positive attitudes: Share favorite school memories and reinforce childrens own experiences. This helps children understand the importance of school. Get to know teachers: Develop positive relationships with teachers and demonstrate respect for them. This helps children respect their teachers. Be mindful of approaching teachers at the appropriate times. Read together: Model the value of reading. Encourage younger children to ask questions about what they read. Ask older children comprehension questions about their reading. Have fun: Enjoy school experiences with children as opportunities for lifelong memories.

Dr. Zanzi celebrates 6th year practicing in Granite Bay

There is no shortage of dental emergencies and maintenance to be done on the south side of Granite Bay to the point where Dr. Nader Zanzi has been too busy to even ring-in his sixth year taking care of patients in the region. Zanzi is a general dental practitioner who also performs dental implants. He first opened his Granite Bay doors at 6910 Douglas Blvd. in August 2007. He has since entered into a family partnership with his brother, Dr. Raj Zanzi, who treats patients one day a week in the Granite Bay office and spends the rest of the time at his own practice in Lincoln. In addition to standard dental work, Zanzis office offers orthodontist work through Dr. Alan Sanders, as well as teeth cleanings from two dental hygienists on staff. A new operatory was also recently added to his office.

Placer County residents now can have their ewaste picked up curbside along with donations of household items, thanks to UCP of Sacramento and Northern Californias thrift store service. All items benefit UCPs programs that empower people with developmental disabilities to live life without limits. To schedule a pickup, call (800) 860-0357 or look for the yellow postcard delivered throughout the year.

y Thai Table and Lounge owner Sonia Narasaki believes she possesses the two ingredients to make her new Granite Bay restaurant a success: great food and word-of-mouth. Shes been hearing lots of positive reviews, especially regarding her Pad Thai, which features rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, green onions, tofu, ground peanuts and tamarind served with fresh shredded cabbage, carrots and a lime wedge. One customer recently told Narasaki hed heard she had the best Pad Thai in the whole Sacramento area. When hed finished eating, he told the owner he planned to tell all of his 2,000 Facebook friends the same thing. Weve been having a lot of great word-of-mouth and were very happy, Narasaki said. And this location is beautiful. The location is a corner space in the Quarry Ponds Plaza, which overlooks a nature preserve. There are tables and couch seating outside with umbrellas to shade out the sun. My Thai Table opened in May, and the dishes come from recipes from Narasakis mother and from the restau-
rants chef. Narasaki was born in Thailand to a Thai mother and a Japanese father who served in the military. She moved to the United States more than three decades ago. On a recent afternoon, I decided to try out My Thai Table and entered the eatery, greeted by the sound of jazz music lightly playing in the background. A modern-like jukebox, called Touch iTunes, is mounted to a wall and connects to the Internet, allowing access to all sorts of musical genres. My Thai Table is decorated in shades of blue a welcoming and calming color, Narasaki said and flooded with natural light. In addition to standard dining tables, a section of comfortable sofa seating occupies one corner of the restaurant. Delicious smells permeate the restaurant. The eatery offers beer and wine, and daily happy hour specials. But this place is also

kid-friendly, and even has a childrens menu with chicken nuggets, spaghetti, corn dogs, mini burgers and more. My dining companions and I ordered the Pad Thai for $9.95, Yellow Curry for $9.95 and Sweet and Sour Chicken for $8.95, which was the chefs special on this particular day. Narasaki emphasizes highquality presentation and the dishes were colorful and tasty looking. I think when food is presented beautifully it makes the dish more appetizing and enjoyable, she said. The Pad Thai, as expected, did not disappoint. In fact, my friend said the dish exceeded his expectations. That was probably the best Pad Thai Ive eaten, he said.

My Thai Table and Lounge owner Sonia Narasaki
The Sweet and Sour Chicken at My Thai Table and Lounge in Granite Bay is a chefs special.
No joke. Its kind of sweet but tangy. It tastes like it has light barbecue flavor to it. My other friend had the Sweet and Sour Chicken and praised the foods flavor and fresh taste. Narasaki uses herbs and vegetables she purchases from a local farmers market. I believe were very
authentic, very flavorful, she said. I buy anything I can get from the farmers market when its in season. Thats very important to me. I thoroughly enjoyed the vegetarian yellow curry. My favorite part of this dish is the potatoes, but usually restaurants scrimp on this ingredient. I was happy to find several large chunks of potatoes and onion and carrot in my bowl of coconut milk and yellow curry sauce. My Thai Table and Lounge is not to be missed. Come enjoy the inviting atmosphere and be prepared for a thoroughly delightful culinary experience.

New restaurant brings more farm to the table

THE PRESS TRIBUNE
Line cook Michael Wright fires the flames up in the open kitchen at Eight American bistro at the restaurants grand opening recently.
riving down Auburn Folsom Road just past Douglas Boulevard, it might be too easy to pass this one up. But if you look closely, or you know where to go, an unassuming manor that once housed a French bistro, a market cafe and even a biker bar has been turned into something new and fresh. Ian and NGina Kavookjian, owners of Eight, have turned the building into an Ameri-
can bistro, serving up fresh, local ingredients in thoughtful and approachable fashion. The new restaurant celebrated its grand opening recently, with its namesake inspired by the number of years the owners have wanted to open an establishment to call their own. With more than 35 years combined experience in the restaurant industry, the Kavookjians say they want to blend high-quality food with a casual atmosphere that is

comfortable and inviting, whether you have just spent all day out on Folsom Lake or you are taking a date out for a fine meal and a fabulous bottle of wine. In a lot of restaurants, its either casual or it is fine dining, NGina Kavookjian said. Theres no blurring of the lines, and we didnt want to do that. Casual atmosphere notwithstanding, Executive Chef Robert Birnschein is preparing smart American-style fare heavily influenced by Italian and French cuisine, with a serious emphasis on farm-to-table freshness. We want to expose the community to the beauty and the seasonality of food, Ian Kavookjian said. I know there are a lot of people who are really in tune with it and theres something great about that. NGina Kavookjian said the farm-to-table concept, which has been gaining popularity in local restaurants, is more than just a trend and the husband-and-wife team believes it is a concept that should be embraced worldwide when it comes to dining. It makes no sense to buy products that are not within a 50- to 100-mile radius of where you live, NGina Kavookjian said. The owners of Eight say that not only does supporting local farmers ensure they are serving up the freshest ingredients, it also puts money right back into the community, which goes a long way to support the local economy. If we buy tomatoes from Mexico, that helps their economy, which is all fine and good, NGina Kavookjian said. But I cant sit there and watch my neighbor who sells tomatoes suffer when I
could be buying from him. Its that sense of community that people need to get back to.

What about the food?

Lunches at Eight range from appetizers and salads to sandwiches and handmade pastas, with prices ranging from $7 to $22. Everything down to the ketchup and mayonnaise is made in-house from scratch. Look for a grilled cheese sandwich with fontina cheese, white truffle butter and fresh tomato puree on the lunch menu. There is also a mixed baby lettuce salad with candied walnuts, currants, goat cheese and honey mustard vinaigrette. Other lunch items include baked orrecchiette pasta with housemade sausage, Swiss chard, roma tomato, poultry crme sauce and bread crumbs; or the spaghetti carbonara with house-cured lamb bacon, fava beans, farm-fresh egg and pecorino cheese. We have a neighbor with a chicken farm and we use their eggs for the carbonara, NGina Kavookjian said. We are keeping it local, keeping it fresh. The handmade pastas are available on both the lunch and dinner menus. Dinner menu items include pan-roasted Scottish salmon with potato and corn hash, applewood bacon, summer gypsy peppers, smoked tomato sauce and basil oil. Or there is the grilled lamb T-bones with baby artichokes, creamy white bean and leak ragu with a balsamic mint glaze. Dinner menu items start with appetizers at $7 and entrees averaging between $20 and $30. Ian Kavookjian said the restaurant was very com-
petitive in its pricing, especially with regards to the wine list, which is more focused on quality rather than quantity. We always love when you can go somewhere and get a great glass of wine for a great price, Ian Kavookjian said. So we were really aggressive with that.
The building
Walking into the newly remodeled restaurant, you will immediately notice the open kitchen and caf tables in the dining room to the right. A patio is decorated out back with a large water fountain, a wood-burning pizza oven and plenty of tables under a canopy of white lights for those who wish to enjoy the outdoors. In back of the main dining room, a 1,600-squarefoot banquet room and cold kitchen is available for private events. Ian and NGina Kavookjian have been operating a catering and wedding planning business since 2009 and say they chose to open their brick-and-mortar restaurant in Granite Bay because of the central location to the Sacramento valley and the Sierra foothills. This is such a beautiful piece of property, NGina Kavookjian said. Its just got a great vibe to it. I feel relaxed here.

Home-schooling offers an alternative for students

BY EILEEN WILSON
GRANITE BAY VIEW
chools out for summer. Kids are playing, vacationing and exploring their interests and hobbies. But wouldnt it be great if they could explore their worlds a bit more all year long? Wouldnt it be great if they could get school credit for their favorite sport or hobby? Many families throughout Placer County are finding that school can be more than teacher lectures and textbooks. School can be about exploring an exciting new activity for school credit, whether its horsemanship, music or Ukrainian egg decorating. Home-schooling and independent study programs are growing like crazy, said Dennis Craft, enrollment coordinator for Horizon Charter School. There are dozens of charter schools that offer independent study programs, but the big demand right now is a hybrid program a program in which students receive instruction a few days a week, and get the rest of their education at home. One of the largest charter schools in Northern California, Horizon serves more than 3,000 students and has numerous teacher-taught programs. Todays home-schooled student may have to check in with teachers and display competency in state standards, but other than that, their educational paths vary widely. Personalized education is

what we do. No two students have the same education, and we are a parent-driven school. We listen to parents and we honor the ways they want their kids to learn, Craft said. Parents have more choices than they think. Horizon and other charter schools are tuition free, and materials supporting the students curriculum are free, as well, with the exception of religious materials like Christian-based books, which parents purchase on their own. Students can even obtain a computer from the school, if needed. Craft said there are many reasons that families choose a charter school like Horizon. Parents might not be happy with the social climate of a traditional classroom, they might not like what is being taught, or they might be unhappy with the fact that traditional classroom teachers must teach to the middle of the class, leaving the high achievers and the kids who arent understanding the materials, behind. Parents are saying their kids are coming home from school unhappy. Many kids who struggled in traditional settings find success in a hybrid or independent study situation, Craft said. But what families might appreciate the most is the flexibility home-schooling offers. We have independent study students whose parents are doing exciting things, and the kids are getting really high test scores, Craft said. Horizon offers programs that are fast-paced, and high intensity like a private school but without the cost. State law requires students to meet with a teacher at least
once every 20 school days, and kids have to meet California State Standards, and pass the California High School Exit Exam. Programs like the Accelerated Learning Academy are designed specifically to get kids in to the University of California. Craft said home-schooled kids typically love to learn, and are inspired because they have time to explore, research and discover. Because of the unique, selfmotivated approach, students dont just learn they learn how to learn. I thoroughly believe that when high school students leave here, theyre able to take control of their education rather than showing up and sitting in a classroom. They say, Im an active participant in how my education is planned based on what my abilities and interests are, Craft said. These kids make excellent college students and excellent employees. Students can choose any mix of independent study, classroom, or online learning, and self-motivation is the key to a students success. We have families contact us and say we had no idea that you offered so many programs, Craft said. The website can be really overwhelming. But we offer numerous programs, and were always morphing and changing were cutting edge in what we provide.

New South Placer Fire chief is no stranger to challenges

BY SCOTT THOMAS ANDERSON
or Lawrence Bettencourt, a simple living arrangement during his days as a college wrestler sparked a 33-year career at the South Placer Fire Department. Now, the tested veteran is taking over as chief, trying to find the best way to protect homes and save lives in the face of dwindling resources. Community partnership, according to the new chief, will be essential. Bettencourt first set his eyes on South Placer Fire stations in 1979, when engaged in competitive wrestling at Sierra College. A special program allowed him and other students to live at the fire station while taking classes, in exchange for working a number of hours each week as a volunteer firefighter. At the time, I got two bucks for every call I went out on, Bettencourt recalled with a chuckle. But I was getting all of the training and experience, and real interest in being a firefighter.
GRANITE BAY VIEW
Bettencourt took his wrestling skills to California State University, Sacramento. He kept lacing up his fire boots when he wasnt slamming opponents down on mats. After graduating, he went to work full-time at the fire agency that had taught him everything he knew. Another young firefighter who had been living at the station during college, Tony Corado, was also hired full time. Flash forward three decades and Corado was the chief of South Placer Fire, while Bettencourt was deputy chief. Bettencourt watched his longtime co-worker retire on June 2 of this year. The South Placer districts board of directors asked Bettencourt to take the helm. One of his first challenges out of the gate has been assisting with the wide-spread, destructive Robbers Fire outside of Auburn. We had almost half our department there at the height of it, Bettencourt recalled. I think our firefighters did a really great job of switching their schedules around and coming in on their days
off, in order to make sure our area was still protected. Even without major disasters, the South Placer Fire District has had no shortage of challenges lately. Plummeting tax revenues have forced the department to eliminate 19 positions since 2008. Bettencourt said the downsizing was done entirely through transfers and attrition. Were really proud of the fact that we never implemented layoffs, he told the Press Tribune. We were able to do it because some of our older firefighters took different jobs and others retired, allowing us to freeze the positions. For Bettencourt, who still coaches wrestling in
the Loomis area, part of downsizing his department will include community outreach. One of the chiefs first priorities is to stress to residents of Granite Bay and the west corridor along Folsom Lake that they need to keep a 30-foot safety perimeter of low-cut vegetation around their homes. According to Bettencourt, the last two serious fires that destroyed multiple homes in the South Placer district were aided greatly by poorly maintained yards, which allowed the flames to spread from structure to structure. Bettencourt said that Placer Countys ban on fireworks has also significantly reduced destruction and injuries

from previous years. When residents take an interest and get involved, it can go a long way, he said, pointing to the fireworks ban. I think if we keep the public in the fold, and find more ways for all of the emergency responders to share resources, we can keep moving forward.

Eyewear trends toward bolder frames

BY TINKA DAVI
GRANITE BAY VIEW
hen it comes to shopping for eyewear, it seems that guys go for function while ladies want fashion. At least thats what optometrist Dr. Kevin Lockhart sees in his practice at Granite Bay Vision Care at Quarry Ponds, Granite Bay. While it might be fashionable to have glasses coordinate with outfits, thats not practical. People get new glasses when their prescription changes. People usually buy only one pair of glasses, though some buy a second pair when they realize they have health care funds left at the end of the year and decide to use the money for another pair of glasses, Lockhart said. Eyewear fashions change like clothing. Several years ago, small glasses were in as were the oversized frames that fashion designer Liz Claiborne made popular. These days, people are going to bolder looks
Dr. Kevin Lockhart
rather than the rimless frames people have been wearing in recent years. Heavier plastic frames are in now, Lockhart said. The optometrist offers a variety of frames. However, two styles seem to dominate the fashion scene in eyewear. One is the Ray Ban Wayfarer, which high school and college kids like for the geek look, Lockhart said. The other is a classic aviator style either in wire or slim plastic. Its the cop look, Lockhart said. Both styles were selling well in San Francisco and
Current in styles in sunglass wear include thick plastic frames and aviator style frames, bottom.

Los Angeles before coming to Sacramento, indicating that eyewear fashion trends travel from the coast to the valley. That means well soon see Harry Potter styles with large, round frames in Sacramento. People in San Francisco are wearing those now, Lockhart said. Bold, bright colors are popular and frames are
available in black, blue and other hues. Some have patterns similar to a black/charcoal gray herringbone; others are combinations with the top of the frame in black and the bottom, clear plastic. Some frames have gold or silver accents on the temples. Lenses have changed; theyre digitally surfaced, which means theyre able
to be custom ground for the individual. That gives significantly sharper vision than conventional lenses, Lockhart said. Progressive lenses are also popular and its possible to have the reading portion larger if thats what the wearer desires. Progressive lenses are getting better and better to adjust to, Lockhart said.
Some people wear glasses as a fashion accent even when their lenses are plain glass. Lockhart sees at least three patients a day who prefer contacts. The biggest change in soft contact lenses is that they now are made with silicone hydrogel, which lets in three to six times more oxygen than conventional soft contacts.

Theyre safer to wear. Some people eschew glasses and opt for mono vision one contact lens. Theres a 50 percent success rate with that option, Lockhart said. We now have bifocal contact lenses and they are better than ever and easier to wear, Lockhart said. They were not available a few years back. When should people visit the doctor? A childs first eye exam should be done at age 2, but definitely before the child enters kindergarten, Lockhart said. The exam can be done by a pediatric specialist. He recommends annual eye exams if there are problems. The American Optometric Association advises that adults aged 19 to 40 receive an eye exam at least every two years. Those with glaucoma should be checked

every three months. The 40s are the bifocal stage and after that, eyesight changes every year or two up to age 60 when it stabilizes. Cataracts can develop in the 70s and 80s. Certain health issues, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and Multiple Sclerosis, affect the eyes. The eyes are one part of the body that you can see blood vessels without cutting through the skin, Lockhart said. He advises protecting the eyes with sunglasses as ultra violet light causes cataracts to develop early. Not wearing sunglasses also can cause wrinkles at the corners of the eyes. Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for macular degeneration and cataracts. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, Lockhart said. These antioxidants and multi-vitamins, especially vitamins A, C and E, are
good for the eyes. The doctor takes his expertise in vision care outside of the area. He has made mission trips with Pathway Christian Fellowship, Orangevale, to care for people in Thailand, Cambodia, Mexico and Africa. He also has worked with the homeless in Roseville and veterans in the area who need eye care. Lockhart and Granite Bay Vision Care were located at County Gables Shopping Center at Douglas Boulevard and Auburn Folsom Road for 20 years and moved to the new Quarry Ponds location just a few weeks ago. Thats where you can check out the geek look, aviators or Harry Potter styles and choose your fashion style. For more information, visit www.granitebayvision care.com.

new business in Granite Bay is aiming to help those with sleep disorders, offering a new form of deep relaxation training. According to the National Sleep Foundation, up to 40 percent of Americans report having some sort of insomnia at any given point throughout the course of a year. Dr. Amer Khan and his wife Iram have developed a new program that combines behavior modification with a form of yoga
known as Yoga Nidra, which is intended for complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. Located at the Quarry Ponds center on Douglas Boulevard, Sehatu Sleep is a deep relaxation studio offering a program that teaches clients to unwind their mind, Amer Khan said.

Iram Khan, Sehatu Sleep co-owner
SLEEP: Practitioners focus attention inward

continued from page 31 The frustrating part is that doctors have few tools other than prescribing sleeping pills for patients with insomnia, Amer Khan said. Even though we already know, and science tells us, that the real answer is not in sleeping pills. The program at Sehatu Sleep consists of three components: cognitive behavior modification; stretching, breathing and meditation exercises; and Yoga Nidra. Iram Khan said Yoga
Nidra means deep relaxation and conscious sleep, so practitioners are awake but focusing attention inward rather than concentrating on conscious thought. Youre basically unwinding your mind, she said. We are basically training the mind to not think and to go within our own selves and find deep relaxation. Amer Khan says the vast majority of people who suffer from sleep disorders wont visit a doctor and simply try to cope with it. But, he says, sleeping well at night can have positive effects that can be applied to all aspects of ones life. Were helping them be empowered, he said. If you have more power over your life, you sleep better. You function better during the day, and so you perform better. Don Olsen attended one of the studios introductory classes and said he immediately noticed an ability to sleep better at night. Usually Ill go to bed

Local company opens doors by replacing them

BY STEPHANIE GARCIA
erhaps there are more frustrating things than an uneven door frame, or an out-of-style door that needs to be replaced. In the past, replacing a door consisted of hours, even days of on-site construction, including painting the door, reframing, and a mess was inevitable. But,

the business of replacing interior doors just got a little easier thanks to Mike McElroy and his door replacement business, HomeStory. HomeStory is dedicat-
ed to helping homeowners tell the story of their homes by transforming their living spaces in the fastest, easiest and most affordable way possible through door replace-
ment, McElroy said. HomeStory is a new venture for McElroy, who has been in the business since 1997. I was a remodeling contractor and part of the project I would do for my customers was replacing the interior doors, McElroy said. Out of everything I did kitchen, baths, flooring my customers were most excited
about the doors because of how much they updated the look of the entire home, so I decided to start a business that focused only on this improvement for homeowners. In the past, McElroy says it might take about three days to replace interior doors, but that is all changing thanks to a revolutionary door
replacement technology that McElroy and his team provides. We use an exclusive technology that measures each door opening in a home, McElroy said. The measurements pick up the exact dimensions of the existing door opening and where the hinges and locksets go. We then use these measurements

continued from page 34 to custom-make each door so it fits right. McElroy opened his franchise this past spring. According to HomeStorys corporate site, they employ proprietary door measuring and production technologies, which allow business owners to customize the fit of each door promptly and precisely and paint doors before they are installed. The site also states that the extremely
accurate measuring system ensures that every door fits its opening, with no construction or painting at the customers home. The custom fit allows McElroys team to prepaint the doors with a factory finish. When we arrive at the home, we can quickly replace each door in minutes and without making a mess in the home, McElroy said. Theres no on-site construction, painting in the garage or other mess. We can generally replace all of the old doors in a home with new designer doors in under a few hours. McElroy says that the process ends up saving the homeowner time and money. Most installations are completed for half the cost and quarter of the time of traditional methods. Knowing the vast difference between the old and new installation

process has inspired McElroy. The new technology has allowed us to replace all of the doors in a home faster, easier and more affordably than anyone else all important factors for the homeowner, he said. Our homeowners are always excited about how their new doors instantly add style to their home in just a few hours and with no stress. More importantly is how homeowners dont just like it they love it. McElroy gives free in-home estimates and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, call (916) 408-6700 or visit www.MyHomeStory.com.

Green alternative on the move

BY MARGARET SNIDER
California Box Rental owner Gary Grewal, left, pictured with employee Edward Klyuchnik, recently opened the company that rents boxes to people on the move to save the time of buying cardboard boxes and then having to dispose of them. The green totes are stable and reusable.
hen Gary Grewal was attending University of California, Los Angeles, one of the things he learned was how much waste one person can generate. They dont think they are adding to global warming, but indirectly they are, Grewal said. He said that people dont always think about whether they are consuming a product that creates a lot of waste in its production, or if they are using something with a lot of packaging that adds appreciably to landfill. Grewal found that when all his friends were getting ready to move out at the end of the school
GRANITE BAY VIEW
year, they were all complaining: I cant find any boxes, I cant find any boxes! He remembered hearing about a college in Texas at which graduates rented their caps and gowns, and he thought, what a great idea. You wear your cap and gown once, Grewal said. So why dont we buy boxes that people can reuse, and then when theyre done we can keep them and put them out again. Thats how the idea came up. That was three years ago, in May 2009. Now his company, California Box Rental, rents not only plastic attachedlid moving boxes, but also assorted moving equip-
ment such as four-wheel moving dollies, wardrobe boxes, hand trucks, heavy-duty moving straps and plastic tubs for loose items. Grewal partners with several local movers, including Two Men and a Trucks Sacramento store. Owner Mark Snyir of Two Men and a Truck said his business is certified as a Sacramento Area Sustainable Business and he does what he can to be environmentally responsible. Snyirs business will even plant 10 trees in the name of customers who return a customer survey card if the comments are all good, Snyir will plant 20 trees. Snyir was very interested when Grewal contacted

him earlier this year and told him what California Box Rental offered. We actually rent totes ourselves, Snyir said. We just dont have as many and as many sizes as Gary has. Besides being green, Grewal said, the cost can actually be less than using cardboard, with special pricing packages in which the customer can choose the group of items needed for their move. For example, a tworoom package with 25

boxes, one dolly, one hand truck, one pair of forklift straps, and a steel bar wardrobe box rents at a very reasonable price, which can end up being much less than buying the boxes and supplies. Delivery is free within a 25-mile radius of Rocklin.
Plastic boxes are also impervious to moisture, more sturdy than cardboard, and cleaner. Used cardboard can harbor germs, and be difficult to dispose of. Barbie Basile of Citrus Heights learned about the company on Facebook. The last time I moved, I used cardboard boxes I bought at Home Depot, Basile said. It was a pain to tape them all up and get them ready. She liked the rental boxes, which were ready to pack and required no
taping. It was good to be green, too, Basile said. But that wasnt the thing that sold me right off the bat. Nelli Badikyan of Rancho Cordova said that her family feels recycling is important, so when she saw a brochure about the box rental, she found out more about it. The boxes were great, Badikyan said.They can carry a lot; we had about 50 boxes and they picked up and delivered. Were big on green.
Barbie Basile boxes up plants and magazines with plastic totes from California Box Rental, which rents boxes that can be reused instead of tossed out like cardboard boxes when finished.

EUSD elementary students take first in Nature Bowl competition

BY EILEEN WILSON
hether its learning about energy needs or pondering Granite Bays wild animals, kids on Diane Filices Nature Bowl team are practically experts on all things pertaining to our local and global environment. Filices 14th Nature Bowl team consisted of third- and fourthgraders from Oakhills and Ridgeview elementaries in the Eureka Union School District. The regional, cooperative team competition focuses on environmental science and natural resource topics that correlate to California Education Standards for science. The competition is sponsored by the California Department of Fish and Game. My favorite part was when we did the enviro-mercial about rodenticide poisoning, said second-year team member Megan Ellis. We learned that

when you put out a poison, like rat poison, for example, it can take a long time for the rat to die, and sometimes other animals might eat the rat. Then they are harmed, too. Filice said one of the most meaningful activities of the sixpart competition is the enviromercial, which asks three team members to choose a local issue, then research and prepare a one-minute speech and visual aids, and prepare for a
question-and-answer period. The event just really allows kids to grow, using public speaking skills. Kids who are very uncomfortable with public speaking are surprised to see that they do really well, Filice said. The six-member team garnered first-place this year in the third- and fourth-grade category the team has gone to the finals every year. This year the top ranking teams went to Nimbus Fish Hatchery and Jenkinson Lake in Pollock Pines to see a trout planting. It was really fun the fish kept flopping around and splashing us in the face, Megan said. Managing a team is fun for Filice, a former teacher with the Eureka school district, and current EUSD curriculum coordinator. I was a science major in college, and Im just in love with
Yosemite and any outdoor area where we can hike anything to do with the environment is just wonderful, she said. Filice teaches students about valley and foothill plants and animals, and about the environmental factors that can affect the whole community. Kids learn about energy needs, water, energy alternatives and caretaking of the environment. This is creative thinking, its convergent thinking. I love that they are using higher order thinking rather than rote memorization. And they just amaze me with what they come up with, she said. And if kids can beef up critical thinking skills while learning to love the environment, thats a good thing. Kids get involved with the environment and that builds a sense of respect first, then a sense of responsibility, Filice said.

Family of four to travel 50 states in 50 weeks

Granite Bay family takes to the road in an RV

T
GRANITE BAY VIEW
ravertine floor tiles, cherry cabinets, mosaic tile backsplash, laptop computers spread across the kitchen table no, this isnt your typical Granite Bay kitchen. But it will be home to the Arredondo family for the next year a home that will change locations daily for 50 weeks. If youve ever thought about taking an extended vacation with your family a vacation that would bring you closer look no further than your local RV dealership. Thats exactly what the Arredondo family of Granite Bay did after George Arredondo attended a business seminar featuring Mike Ditka. I was at a business conference in Atlanta and Coach Ditka spoke. He introduced us to the acronym ACE, which stands for attitude, commitment and enthusiasm. I was very impressed by the concept, but when I Googled ACE, the website that popped up was the site for ACE Recreational Vehicles. Arredondo thought the website couldnt be a coincidence, so the family rented an RV for a weeklong jaunt to San Diego, and they loved it. Fast-forward a year or two, and the family is ready to take the open
road wherever it may lead them. Exploring America with Faith and Family is Arredondos mission statement, and with wife, Melinda, and sons Garon, 12, and Gavin, 9, the Wi-Fi enabled 29-footer departed on Aug. 1 toward Seattle, and whatever adventures they can find along the way. With Garon as navigator, maps and Google Maps at their fingertips, the family plans to visit interesting sites, and linger when the mood strikes. With other families who have had similar adventures as inspiration and sounding board, George Arredondo is looking forward to really seeing the country, and spending quality time with his boys. I asked the family what about a summer vacation in an RV, rather than flying? George Arredondo said. But we decided that summer just wasnt enough time. We want to see places that you wouldnt normally see, and I want to spend more time with the kids. With careers that allow telecommuting, the family had planned to relocate their residence, so they have rented a storage unit for personal items, and sold everything else in preparation for the trip. As crazy as the family agrees the adventure might sound, traveling the country in an RV has its appeal.

continued from page 41 I want to see all 30 baseball stadiums, especially the Florida Marlins stadium, Gavin said. Garon, a Boy Scout who is not far from earning his Eagle Scout Badge, looks forward to visiting a troop and attending a Scout meeting in each state. Garon will be able to maintain his Scouting, and he will also practice his saxophone on the trip, Melinda Arredondo said. She said the family spent every day preparing for the trip, and each family member is allowed one storage container (as measured by Garon) for personal items to take along. Melinda Arredondo is looking forward to visiting Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, and Hershey, Pa., and shes also looking forward to integrating travel with the kids homeschool plans, which will include plenty of written essays about sights and adventures.
The familys route begins in a northerly direction, and upon reaching Seattle, they will fly to Anchorage, Alaska and rent an RV to tour Denali National Park. Hawaii will be in a rented RV as well. They plan to hit 50 states in approximately 50 weeks, and will drive just over 100 miles per week, allowing lots of time to enjoy each location. Gavin also plans to sample his favorite food, macaroni and cheese, in each state and create a top-10 list of best mac and cheese locations. Mostly, the family looks forward to spending time together. You just dont spend enough time with the family. We all have so many different commitments outside the family, George Arredondo said. Most of the dads I talk to they secretly want to spend more time with the kids, but work and other commitments get in the way of that.

Younger children can have a fear of separation so always tell the child when you are leaving: kiss him, wave and tell him youll be back. You have probably seen a toddler frightened by a barking dog or expressed fear he might go down the bathtub drain. Think about whats safe in your home. Is anything frightening? A quick fix of the fear of sleeping in the dark might simply be resolved by providing a nightlight. Common sense is not being overheard talking about fears your child cannot comprehend. Also, this age group does not need to be concerned about money or problems with the relatives; it causes helplessness and fear. If the child hears
About one-third of schoolage children experience fears that re-occur (imaginary monsters, rejection, embarrassment, problems with school work, being left alone, poor grades, loss of friends and lack of family support). Communicate your support in a soothing manner. Provide examples from your life or discuss some fearful problem situation you see together on television. Letting your child know you coped with a similar problem is reassuring to them.
Parents role
Fears depend on the level of anxiety, past experience and imagination. Accept the childs fears as valid and avoid events that trigger possible anxieties and fears. What you do as a parent is vital, such as holding your child close and talking in a soft, soothing voice. Be particularly careful not to lecture, ridicule, and make statements that make matters worse. We as adults know there are no monsters under the bed and probably the sky wont fall tomorrow, but sometimes a child doesnt comprehend that. Take your time and use self control so your child feels safe and secure. Talk sensibly about
Plan of action
Ask yourself the following questions and rehearse your responses. When might a fearful situation occur? What will I do? How might my child react? How will I respond to my childs reaction? What are the options?
Develop strategies
Research and develop ways to help your child learn to cope physically and mentally, such as exercising, yoga and taking deep breaths. Coping may be simply soaking in a lemon balm or lavender scented warm tub while listening to soothing, relaxing music.

Which of these seven reasons would motivate you?

different things motivate different people. Try the following seven reasons on for size and discover what motivates you.
ets face it, most people dislike exercise. Or at least they think they do. They say it takes up too much time, they dont like to get sweaty, or maybe theyre so out of shape that exercise hurts. Or maybe theyd just Deb Skelton rather lie on Fitness the couch Column and eat cake. I think that anyone who says they dont like exercise is really saying that they dont have any motivation. Motivation is what gets you to stick with an exercise routine even when its the last thing you feel like doing. There isnt a one-size-fits-all answer for motivation, since
1. Health
Physical activity helps you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. It also helps lower bad cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure, while improving the amount of good cholesterol in your body. Exercise strengthens your bones and muscles, lowers your risk of cancer, decreases stress, helps you battle depression and even improves your sex life.
were only able to walk a mile, now youre able to run two! Maybe you weighed in at 250 pounds, and now youre down to 215! Track your progress using a regular journal, phone app or fitness website.
3. Convenience
Many people dont stick with an exercise routine when it becomes inconvenient for them. Whether you face a schedule change or dont have time to drive to the gym, its important (and possible) to find a time and place that work best for your busy lifestyle. Just remember to be flexible. If youre too tired at the end of the day, try waking up a few minutes early to workout.
swimming or riding a bike. Perhaps you dont like being alone so join a team! Or maybe you dont like the idea of driving all the way to the gym, changing clothes, and exercising with a crowd. Find out when your local gym is least populated and hit the weights then. Do whats most fun for you and youll be less likely to stop.
6. Increased confidence
If youre out of shape or overweight, it can take a lot of courage to start an exercise routine. Remember to be confident in who you are, no matter what size or shape. Dont compare yourself to the skinny, toned figure strutting her stuff through the gym. Strive to have your best body not someone elses.
5. Goal achievement
If youre just getting started in the world of exercise, a good place to start is by setting goals. How much weight would you like to lose? How far would you like to run? However, dont set up for failure by striving after unrealistic goals. Do this and youll soon feel overwhelmed and give up altogether. Set realistic milestones. When you reach them, enjoy your accomplishment and then set new goals.
7. Rewards
Rewards are a great motivator. When it comes to exercise, a good reward probably shouldnt be an ice cream sundae, but it may be that new pair of jeans youve been eyeing, or perhaps a night out with friends. Maybe for you, weight loss and lowered blood pressure are reward enough.
Debra Skelton is a Certified Fitness Consultant and a Licensed Nurse.
2. Making Progress
Many people find it helpful to track their progress so they can see where they started and how far they go over time. Seeing improvements reminds you that your hard work is worth the effort. Perhaps you
4. Enjoyment
If exercise is a bore for you, find a way to make it fun. You might hate running but enjoy

Half Moon Bay offers full-on beauty and relaxation

BY JEFFREY WEIDEL
GRANITE BAY VIEW
fog-shrouded evening begins to unfold along this hilly, coastal enclave. In the relative quiet of a tranquil night in late May, the only audible sounds are the waves crashing against a nearby seawall and the haunting sounds of a bagpipe player. Relaxed and contented in one of the well-placed deck chairs on the oceans edge, guests at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay can easily imagine themselves situated on the rocky coastline of Scotland. The Ritz-Carlton offers one more additional link to Scotland where the game of golf took root roughly 550 years ago a scenic finishing hole meandering down this gorgeous stretch of ocean landscape. Despite its natural beauty and an assortment of interesting places to visit, Half Moon Bay tends to get lost among the more highly-touted, touristheavy destinations in Northern California. Monterey, Carmel, San Francisco and the Napaarea wine region all lord over Half Moon Bay as typical day trips or mini-getaway vacations for the masses. But one visit to beautiful Half Moon Bay, located 23 miles south of San Francisco, and its easy to grasp why this region belongs in the conversation when talk turns to Northern California tourist destinations. Established in the 1840s, Half Moon Bay is the oldest community in San Mateo County. Half Moon Bay is a blend of the old and new. It has historic buildings, but also features some beautiful upscale homes that were built in the last decade. The mostly rural setting gives visitors a great opportunity to breathe in the fresh coastal air and explore country roads and scenic Highway 1.

The Old Course at Half Moon Bay Golf Links resides on a challenging, natural rolling-hills terrain lined with many potentially penalizing Cypress trees, nine water holes, and well-placed fairway bunkers and green-side traps.
Folsom resident Diana Miglionico Shiraishi, who lived in Foster City for 15 years with her husband Toru and son Sean, has fond memories of Half Moon Bay. Half Moon Bay was in my mindset before I ever reached the West Coast, Diana said. Being an East Coast girl and listening to Neil Young most of my life, I would imagine what Half Moon Bay could be, never realizing that there is a Half Moon Bay in Canada. But I can understand why (Canadianborn) Neil Young came to settle in the San Mateo hills. Moving to California to marry the love of my life, I lived on the Peninsula and first came to Half Moon Bay with my husband and son to enjoy the Pumpkin Festival, which became an annual event for our family. Regardless of your interest,
there seems to be something for everyone in Half Moon Bay. The golf is first rate and so is the local fishing, which includes the deep sea variety. Other activities include horseback riding on the beach and
sampling locally-produced wine at La Nebbia. There are also several topflight nurseries to visit, along with some interesting beaches that includes Mavericks, a legendary California surfing spot that features waves as high as 80 feet during January and February. For golfers seeking a unique championship course with a scenic touch, Half Moon Bay Golf Links offers two great tracks that provide entirely different perspectives in spite of their close proximity. For golf purists, the Old Course might be the preferred track. It resides on a challenging, natural rolling-hills terrain lined with many potentially penalizing Cypress trees, nine water holes, and well-placed fairway bunkers and greenside traps. For sheer beauty, the Ocean Course has the edge. Stretched along a traditional Scottishlinks layout, this track features rolling terrain and many elevation changes, along with some trouble in the way of rustic native grasses and some deep, old-style bunkers. The stunning location bordering the Pacific Ocean would normally be enough for me to tee it up, said Frank LaRosa of Sacramento. The fact that both the Arnold Palmerdesigned Old Course and the Arthur Hills Ocean Course at Half Moon Bay Golf Links also offer contrasting styles, superb conditioning, and challenging golf, make them no-brainers for anyone looking for a great day on the golf course. Shorter than the Old Course, the Ocean track plays 6,700 yards from the tips (6,470 from the blues). The front side has three par-3s and two par-5s that are 500 yards or less and are very reachable for long hitters. Green fees for either course range from $50 to $185.
