ts an honor to step in to helm the Granite Bay View following the de-parture of longtime editor Michelle Carl. This magazine caught my eye my first week on the job at the Auburn Journal, another Gold Country Media publication, where I spent a year as features editor. Its large, colorful photos and entertaining, informative stories are the stuff that great community magazines are made of and the View is just that. As I step in to fill Michelles very large shoes until a permanent replacement is hired, Im learning just what it takes to make such a great product. Id be lost without the Views team of stellar writers and photographers, who all know

Im also indebted to Michelle, whose attention to detail and timing have made my time here run smoothly you cant put out a weekly newspaper and a monthly magazine, and keep up to date on our news and social media sites, without being super-organized! Another key element that makes the Granite Bay View a success is you! Our readers and advertisers are a constant source

arrin and Julie Lynch didnt travel too far when they sold their home in Loomis and moved to Granite Bay. They wanted less property. They were on five acres and the place was just too much to keep up, Darrin Lynch said. They were referred by a friend to Kendra Bishop, broker associate with The Bishop Real Estate Group, who helped them sell their former home and find a new home in the Hidden Lakes area. Its a community with a bunch of great people, Lynch said. The couple appreciated Bishops knowledge of the Granite Bay area and the time she spent helping them find a home. Thats part of the service Bishop provides clients, and it keeps her busy. The Granite Bay real estate market is showing an uptick, Bishop said. Sales have increased 23 percent from January 2012 to January 2013. While the luxury home market has been lagging, it is starting to pick up, and we are getting an increased number of showings and calls on all luxury listings, Bishop said. Luxury listings in Granite Bay are homes priced at $l million and up. When I take buyers out for a day to show them what Granite Bay has to offer, I can sell them easily because Granite Bay homes have such an incredible value, she said. Theyre an affordable luxury.

the Bay Area sells for $1 million in Granite Bay. Were coming back to what prices were in 2002, Bishop said. From the end of December through midFebruary, the selling price of Granite Bay homes ranged from a low of $208,500, which was for an older fixer-upper, to a high of $2.3 million. The average price per square foot is $185; in the
luxury home market the price per square foot is $234. The market is very diverse, Bishop said. The entry point in Granite Bay is in the mid$300,000s and homes sell up to the $5 million range. Several homes for sale are not part of the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). There are a significant number of buyers who
have what we call pocket listings. The seller doesnt want to advertise, but is willing to sell, Bishop said. Its just an interesting market and a great market. Among the luxury home communities are Shelborne Estates off Auburn-Folsom Road, which reminds people of East Coast homes, Bishop said. Another is Los Lagos, located further
east on Auburn-Folsom Road, and Wexford, off East Roseville Parkway. Homes at these two communities have a Mediterranean look. Other buyers want acreage, not a gated community. Thats the beauty of Granite Bay. Bishop said. There are very diverse opportunities that cater to most peoples wishes.

BISHOP: Granite Bay seeing an influx of home buyers due to employee transfers and schools
continued from 4 Like the Lynch family, many buyers are relocating to Granite Bay from around the region. Others come from a distance. In the past, buyers were predominately from the Bay Area, but now people are from all over the country, Bishop said. Just last week she had a buyer from Chicago, another from Connecticut and two from the Bay Area. Many are relocating to the area due to transfers by their employers and others are choosing Granite Bay for the schools: Theyre phenomenal, Bishop said. She pointed out that Granite Bay High School was ranked (by Newsweek and The Daily Beast) as one of Americas best high schools. Thats a great accolade for our

Bishop enjoys helping people like the Lynches find the right home to fit their needs. Lynch likes their homes proximity to Folsom Lake, where he and his wife go walking a few times a week. They also like Hidden Lakes because of the activities, including Easter egg hunts and Fourth of July celebrations. Bishop lives in Granite Bay and knows the region and the schools.

Her heart lives on: Recipient meets with donor family, staff
Young womans organs saved five lives
BY SENA CHRISTIAN
GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE
On April 18, 2011, Michelle Campbell lost one of her two daughters in an accidental prescription drug overdose. A few months later, she gained another young woman to love in the form of Gabby Preap, the recipient of her daughters heart. On Valentines Day, Preap and the donors family reunited in the intensive care unit at Kaiser Permanente Roseville Medical Center to thank the hospital staff who cared for 19-year-old Cassie Campbell in the days before her death. The emotional reunion was marked by several tears as Preap arrived a

Cassies heart was donated to Preap, who met with Cassies sister, Brittany (back left), and father, Dave Campbell, (center) during a reunion at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Roseville.

family, of Orangevale, who took turns embracing the 23-year-old
woman. I always got the girls a little something on Valen-
tines Day, said Michelle Campbell, as she handed Preap a gift bag. This was the sixth time the family has seen the donor recipient, including in October 2011 for the filming of a segment of the Lost and Found series on the Oprah Winfrey Network. It gives me a lot of comfort to know Cassie saved an amazing life and saved the pain for her family of going through the same thing, Michelle Campbell said, during the reunion. Its priceless. A year prior to her death, Cassie Campbell checked yes for organ donation at the Department of Motor Vehicles, and her organs were later used to save five lives, including Preaps, who
in 2008 was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy after a virus attacked her heart. Preap, then 19 years old, was given two years to live. She suffered chest pains, shortness of breath, loss of appetite and would choke when lying down. After two and a half years of waiting, Preap learned that a heart donor had been found. A national donor registry didnt exist until 2006, and now people can sign up through the DMV or online. The donor waiting list keeps growing and now numbers more than 117,000, including 1,300 in the Sacramento area. The vast majority of people on the waiting list

HEART: Hospital staff touched by the reunion of transplant recipient and donors family
continued from 9 are in need of a kidney. Thats because a patient with kidney failure can go on dialysis, which prolongs life and provides more time for a possible donation. More than one-third of the 117,000 people waiting for a transplant will die before an organ is found because there arent enough donors, said Tracy Bryan, a spokeswoman for Sierra Donor Services, which serves Sacramento and 10 surrounding counties. Once Cassie Campbell was identified as a donor she was brain dead the hospital contacted Sierra Donor Services and the organ recovery agency kicked the process into gear. While complicated to coordinate, the process usually completes within 24 hours. Brittany Campbell, left, hugs Gabby Preap during a reunion at Kaiser Permanente Rosevilles hospital on Valentines Day. Campbells 19year-old sister, Cassie, was an organ donor who died from an accidental prescription drug overdose in April 2011. Preap received Cassies heart, and the women reunited during a special event to thank hospital staff.
The presence of a persons name on the registry gives consent; if not, the agency must get consent from the family. Several factors are considered to determine a match: blood and tissue type, urgency, time spent on waiting list and proximity to recipient. For instance, a heart can only last four to six hours outside the body. The names of the donor and recipient are anonymous and both sides must indicate they want to meet, which is a rare occurrence. Preap wanted to meet the Campbell family so they would know her loved one lives on through her, she said. I take a lot of comfort in Gabby because shes not my sister, but I feel like shes always going to be there for me, said Cassies younger sister, Brittany Campbell, 19. Chris Palkowski, physician-in-chief of the Kaiser Permanente Roseville Medical Center, said his staff grieved at the loss of Cassie Campbell, and the reunion gave them a chance to see the other side of her death the life that has been saved. Im not at all surprised our staff were moved and touched by this experience, Palkowski said. Thats why they come to work every day. Registered Nurse Elizabeth Hasbun took care of Cassie Campbell for three evening shifts and went with her into the operating room when doctors removed the patients heart, which she called an amazing experience. Joann Ferrigno was the admitting nurse when Cassie Campbell arrived at the hospital. She cared for her and was there the day she passed away. She and two other nurses were given time off work to attend the memorial services. This has been the most overwhelming day of my career, Ferrigno said. And its been a long career.

New restaurant brings the tastes of Peru to Granite Bay

BY TOBY LEWIS
hen it comes to restaurants, I am always on the lookout for hidden gems. You know the place your favorite restaurant, the dive down the street, the one that nobody knows about yet. I recently found such a gem in a little Peruvian place on the corner of Eureka Road and Sierra College Boulevard called La Huaca Restaurant. Nestled in a strip mall among boutique salons, a frozen yogurt shop, jewelry stores and the like, the restaurant might be easy to pass up if youre not looking for it. It also might be easy to pass up if you dont know anything about Peruvian food, which incidentally if you dont, youre not alone. One thing I immediately learned on my recent visit to La Huaca is that Peruvians know food, and foodies are going to like this place. For starters, regular readers of this column know that I am a sucker for ceviche, a dish made from raw fish marinated in citrus juices and spices. When I opened up the menu, I was happy to see that La Huaca offers seven different types of ceviche, each one unique and likely as good as the rest. We opted for the Ceviche Clasico ($14.95) to start us off. The dish had all the familiar notes that a good ceviche should have fresh mahi mahi cured in a light citrus marinade but with a Peruvian twist. The dish had a hint of

coconut and was served with red onion, Peruvian corn, sweet potato and fried corn kernels, making for a perfectly balanced dish with the right amount of heat, acid, salt and crunch. More adventurous ceviche lovers might want to try the Ceviche de Rocoto ($14.95), fresh fish cured in citrus and covered in a creamy pepper sauce; or the Ceviche de Aji Amarillo ($14.95), served with a Peruvian yellow pepper sauce. We found the staff to be impressively knowledgeable about the food, and they dont mind guiding you through the menu. Our server, Andra, explained each dish we

asked about in great detail, including the cooking process, with a professional and nonpretentious demeanor. For our next course, Andra suggested we try the causas, a traditional Peruvian small-plate dish made up of mashed yellow potatoes, topped with various meats and seasoned with aji pepper sauce. Aji is a Peruvian pepper that can be spicy or mild.

continued from 11 La Huaca chefs boil the pepper for several hours to cut some of the spice and use it as a key ingredient in many dishes at the restaurant, Andra explained. La Huaca offers six types of causas, and we decided to try the Festival de Causas ($12.95) to get a variety of tastes. The sampler was served with four different causas, individually topped with chicken, shrimp, fried chicken and octopus. Each causa was served cold, to our surprise, and the potatoes had a texture almost like a soft polenta. Delicioso. Both my wife and I commented on the appropriate portion sizes for our first two courses, unaware that our next course, the entre course,

Chile, and, I found out, is a popular ingredient in Peruvian cooking. I found my dish to be perfectly cooked and seasoned, tender and juicy, but the combination of rice and potatoes made it a bit heavy on the starch. My wife ordered the Pescado a lo Macho ($22.95): Fresh white fish marinated in aji pepper sauce with sauted calamari, shrimp and grilled asparagus, served with white rice. Each entre item came with a suggested wine pairing on the menu, but I was a little surprised to see that many of the suggested pairings are not offered by the glass. For example, the menu suggested I pair with my entree a pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon or
carmenere, but only a Woodbridge Cabernet ($5.95 or $8.95) was offered by the glass. The bottle list is filled with many gems, however, mostly from Chile, Argentina and Spain. There is also a nice selection of Peruvian wine, both in the bottle and by the glass. I like to think I know a little bit about wine, at least enough to know that I really dont know much about wine at all. There is always more to learn. That being said, I had never heard of the tannat grape before, but since it was a Peruvian wine served in a Peruvian restaurant, I thought it would pair well with my meal and ordered a glass ($9.95).
I was right. I am now a fan of tannat, a dry red wine with hints of ripe fruit that, in my opinion, is similar to syrah, but not as bold or jammy. My wife ordered a Peruvian sauvignon blanc ($9.95), which she said paired nicely with her fish. When we simply could not stomach any more, Andra took our plates to be boxed up and explained to us the dessert menu. La Huaca offers many desserts made with Peruvian fruits and delicious sauces. We decided to try the Helado Peruano de Lcuma ($7.95), homemade ice cream made from the lcuma fruit. Lcuma is a tropical fruit native to Peru with a delicate flavor, and is best

when it is fresh, but it is only available outside of Peru frozen or in a powder. The dessert was basically a Peruvian ice cream sundae with pineapple, strawberries, chocolate and whipped cream the perfect end to a wonderful meal. La Huaca also happens to be situated a few doors down from another one of my new favorite places, Final Gravity Taproom & Bottleshop, which makes for a nice stopping-off point if you want a predinner pint or a night cap. As my wife and I did just that, we must have heard half a dozen people say they want to try the new Peruvian place next door, but have yet to do so. My advice: Dont hesitate. Try it. You wont be disappointed.

A winery in your own backyard

ucked away in the Sierra foothills, not far from the busy thoroughfares of Interstate 80 and Highway 65, sits a small winery that is looking to make a big impact on the local wine scene. Wise Villa Winery celebrated its grand opening in 2011, offering such familiar domestic varietals as cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay as well as lesser-known varietals such as torrontes, temperanillo, torriga and others. Now, the boutique winery, located on Wise Road just a few miles northwest of Lincoln, has recently completed construction on a state-of-

the-art tasting room and will soon offer food from a gourmet kitchen. Plans for the new tasting room and kitchen were drawn about a year ago, according to owner and winemaker Grover Lee, and took several months to complete.
I think it was something that I probably thought about from day one, Lee said. We interviewed three or four chefs from as far away as Boston and Philadelphia. They are all high-end chefs that are used to doing quality, gourmet food. Lee said the winery has
made a decision and offered the job to a professional chef, but would not divulge who it is just yet. The new Tuscan-style tasting room, made of dark stone and warm wood, features two spacious rooms, a long bar and tables for tableside tasting, a fireplace and large bay windows looking out over the vineyards on to the Sacramento valley. It is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. Just outside the new
tasting room is an outdoor courtyard with tables, planter boxes and an outdoor fireplace. Wise Villa Winery grows 11 different grape varietals on 16 acres of vineyards, many of which are used for specific blends, and some varietals such as pinot noir and chardonnay, which typically dont thrive in the Sierra foothills. With grapes like pinot noir, I was told, You cant do that here, Lee said. In the last three years, our pinot noir has gotten a gold, gold and double gold. So I guess we can grow pinot. The winery is ideally located in the banana belt, about 500 feet above sea level, set just above the Sacramento

valley floor in a zone that almost never gets frost, Lee said. All the mandarins and oranges and so forth that are famous for this area are going to make grapes famous for this area for the same reason, Lee said. Our quality wine is all because of our grapes. Its just impossible to make great wine from not-so-great grapes. Lee has been making wine for more than 14 years and first took an interest in it when he was a biology and chemistry major at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. His wines, which are about 95 percent estate grown and bottled, have won 54 medals in the last two years from the San Francisco Chronicle and the State and Orange County fairs, he said. Regarding style, Lee takes the pairing of wine with food very seriously
Wise Villa Winerys vineyards consist of 14 acres planted with 11 different varietals, including cabernet sauvignon, perlot, petite sirah, syrah, tempranillo, Touriga Nacional, sangiovese, zinfandel, pinot noir, pinot gris and chardonnay.
and says his goal is to produce quality wine that characterizes the best of both worlds. Its taking a wine that is enjoyable to drink by itself, but still very enjoyable to have with dinner, and enjoy the dinner with it, he said. And not overly high in alcohol. Wise Villa Winery regularly hosts wine-pairing parties as well as special events for its wine club members, Lee said. Lee also said the winery will soon be holding educational seminars, including a cooking class that emphasizes how food and wine go together. If you like wine, and you like food, then you ought to know a little bit about why you would want a certain wine with certain food, Lee said. There are absolute reasons why you would want certain wines with

certain foods. Pairing is really important as far as enhancing the food and enhancing the wine. Wise Villa Winery is one of the first stopping points along the Placer County Wine trail, a series of boutique wineries set among the foothills surrounding Auburn, Lincoln, Newcastle and Granite Bay. Established in 2010 by
the Placer County Vintners Association, the trail is dedicated to preserving the history of wine making in the region as well as promoting the local, family-owned wineries and re-establishing the region. Lee is the president of the Placer County Vintners Association and said working with other wineries and promoting the Wine Trail is essential in putting the region back on the map. I know that while this area is one of the oldest wine regions in California and the United States, its probably one of the newest now also, he said. Theres a long history of some really great grapes coming out of this area, and good wine, especially in the 49er days.

New Granite Bay dentists share special focus

BY MARGARET SNIDER
here are a number of reasons that HarrisDental in Granite Bay is remarkable. One, it is a father-and-son team. Next, they recently came from Canada. Finally, besides providing general family and cosmetic dentistry, they have a special focus. What makes us different is this whole area of epigenetic orthodontics.
We use this treatment for snoring, sleep apnea and TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) problems, said Dr. William Bill Harris, 57. So we are a general dental practice with some specialized skills that Im teaching my son. Dr. Matt Harris, 29, said he always wanted to practice with his dad. I knew that he, with 30 years of experience, knew a lot more than I would have coming out of
school, he said. Specifically with sleep apnea and TMJ problems and craniofacial diagnosis, things like that they dont really give you much in school. Sleep apnea is a medical condition in which a person momentarily stops breathing during sleep. Its a medical condition thats diagnosed by a medical doctor, said Bill Harris, who belongs to the American Academy

of Dental Sleep Medicine. If youre diagnosed with sleep apnea, then we can treat it. Harris-Dental often treats by oral appliance therapy in order to maximize jaw size and improve the air flow. They do this with a device that is worn at night called the DNA appliance. Its like an orthodontic retainer, but it has a little screw in the middle, Bill Harris said. By wearing this after work and when you sleep, you can actually widen your jaw. We copy what nature does. One of the patients the team has helped with this problem is their own registered dental assistant, Michelle Martinez. When she filled out the health history form, she noted that she had headaches and her cheeks would get

sore. A dental exam revealed some chipped and broken teeth and it was discovered that she was clenching. They asked if she would like to try the DNA appliance, and she was fitted. I had never slept through the night prior to wearing the appliance, Martinez said. Before, she would wake up from three to seven times a night with a little coughing snort.

After wearing the appliance for just a couple of weeks, I was sleeping through the night, Martinez said. My teeth were not sore the next morning from clenching all night. My cheeks stopped hurting and Ive just noticed a major quality change in my life from that. It was really Matt Harris, or rather his wife, Casey, who brought them here. They attended the same high school in Canada. Her mom lives in Canada, but her dad lives here in Auburn, Matt Harris said. She decided that the sunshine and the warmness were the most important things to her, so Canada was out of the question. So we decided wed come here. We started dating at BYU and got married while we were there, as well. Now they have two sons Luke, 3, and Liam, 8 months and live in Loomis.

The two Harrises took over the practice from retiring Granite Bay dentist Dr. Brian Lawton. One of Lawtons clients, Rill Wright of Granite Bay, was hesitant at first to go to a dentist she didnt know. But she was in the midst of an ongoing dental problem and needed to go in. Im so glad I was, because in that time I got to know them, and learned about their story, Wright said. I just think its wonderful that his son, Matt, who is also a dentist, is working there right alongside his dad. Maybe Im just a sucker for family businesses, but I just
think thats kind of neat. Wright was also interested in their special focus. Im guessing there isnt a dentist in the threecounty area or wider that has this specialty its a dental method thats really rather easy on the patient, she said. An appliance is worn at night only, and it very gently and gradually spreads the upper palate and it goes very directly to relieving or eliminating snoring and sleep apnea, which is something that a lot of people suffer with. Hes not only certified to do this, he teaches it. Bill Harris still has a practice in Canada and commutes there twice a month. Im so glad that I was forced to interact with them, Wright said, because I got to know them and how experienced they are and I just feel Granite Bay ought to welcome them.

usic lovers can experience the soft sounds of classical guitar when the Sacramento Guitar Society presents Paul Galbraith at Three Stages in Folsom. Galbraith is internationally renowned as an innovator of the classical guitar. He has been working since the 1980s toward expanding the technical limits of his instrument, besides augmenting the quantity and quality of its repertoire. These efforts have already resulted in a series of critically acclaimed recordings of works by Bach, Haydn and Brahms, along with his own arrangements of folk
tunes from various countries, all of which demonstrate the originality of his musical personality. By exchanging the traditional guitar for the eight-string Brahms Guitar, which he helped to develop, Galbraith found the ideal instrument with which to interpret the
challenging classical transcriptions from his highly personal repertoire. We are tremendously excited to have Paul Galbraith on our series. We have set the bar very high for Three Stages concerts, and Paul plays at an uncommonly high level. Plus, just watching him play that unusual setup is fascinating, said Sacramento Guitar Society President and Artistic Director Daniel Roest, who is also a guitarist and teacher. Looks like a wonderful mix German Baroque, Spanish Romantic and German and Mexican 20th Century. The Sacramento Guitar Society is the greater Sacramento regions hub of activity and informa-
tion for guitar teachers, students and fans of classical guitar, Roest said. I absolutely love this theater, Roest said. You cannot find a better venue for this art form. The acoustics are so good you can hear a pin drop. Every note of the unamplified guitar is clear in every seat. The theater staff and volunteers provide patrons with a great audience experience. ... Roest said the Sacramento Guitar Society also provides meetings with featured artists, workshops, outreach events and community guitar orchestra rehearsals.

Les Miserables to feature young cast in classic musical

BY SYDNEY MAYNARD
GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE INTERN
KNOW AND GO
Les Miserables is all over Roseville. The movie starring Anne Hathaway came out Dec. 25, and Roseville Theatre Arts Academy is in the midst of preparing for its production of Les Miserables: The School Edition. Les Miserables, originally a novel written by Victor Hugo in 1862, was adapted into a musical. The story is set in early 19th-century France and touches upon the subjects of justice, religion, romance, politics and antimonarchism. It features ex-convict Jean Valjean, who served time for both stealing bread for his sisters starving family and numerous escape

attempts. According to Michelle Raskey, president of the Roseville Theatre Arts Academy, they have wanted to put on Les Miserables for about a year. Its a show that both the musical director and the director (have) done before, Raskey said. Its a beautiful show, (and) we could get a lot of students involved because its a large cast.
Auditions took place in December, with around 100 actors in attendance. Rehearsals began before Christmas break and full rehearsals started in January. Amanda Duisenberg, 17, plays Cosette, a young woman adopted by Jean Valjean who falls in love with a student revolutionary named Marius. Duisenberg has always dreamed of playing this role, and after she heard the announcement that Roseville Theatre Arts Academy was putting on Les Miserables, she learned every song for every character. Her hard work paid off when she landed Cosette. Its been one of my favorite musicals for years, Duisenberg said.
Raskey believes that the storys inspirational message will resonate with people. Les Mis touches on the timeless facts of theres always another day (its) the story of hope at the end, Raskey said. Theres always another day; another sun will be rising the next morning. Its something that will really touch peoples lives. The almost-threehour-long show features a cast ranging from ages 10 to 18. Its going to be an amazing show, Duisenberg said. Weve put a lot of hard work in it. We have such an experienced cast, (and) we are blessed with an amazing director.
Raskey encourages people to see the show because of the meaning of the story and the fact that the cast is young. She believes that some might not attend because of a wrong impression about the casts age. People will be astounded by the talent of the young people in our community, Raskey said. Im excited for people to come see it because I know they will say I cant believe those were teens and young adults. The show opens at 7:30 p.m. March 8, with a dessert and champagne reception beforehand. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays through March 23.

Taste is apparent on Wexford Circle

BY EILEEN WILSON
A dream in Granite Bay complete with geese!
prawling oaks dwarf Japanese maples, the crowns of raspberrycolored azaleas exploding underneath. If the description sounds like something that might be found in a state park, thats exactly how visitors feel when they visit 9811 Wexford Circle. Located in Wexford, Granite Bays premier community, this nearly 4,500-square-foot property is ensconced on one park-like acre and is one of the most desirable properties in the neighborhood. With a backyard even more dramatic than the front, the wedge-shaped lot that ventures in to the middle of a bass-filled lake is home to a resident couple of snowy-white geese, Stellers jays and a variety of shaded and sunny habitats for the family to enjoy. But this home that takes maximum advantage of its waterfront lot has recently been updated and is a rare gem for the lucky homebuyer. Living and dining rooms set a tone of formality with fluted columns topped with simple box-style capitals, while dramatic and varied ceiling treatments assure that no detail was overlooked when designing the luxurious home. Red oak runs the length of the hall and kitchen floors that are completely natural in color, with nothing but a sheen of varnish to enhance their beauty. The homeowners have

made a lot of changes to the stunning estate in the last year. New carpet, new granite and new paint are just a few of the updates that fill the home with the just-right, highend ambiance. And the selection of sumptuous surfaces, from Michelangelo marble in the downstairs bath to Italian porcelain tiles on family-room floors, combine casual with elegant a perfect combination. A formal office or library shares a doublesided fireplace with the family room a fireplace fronted in creamy white, richly veined travertine. The adjacent bath is filled with cocoa, Sienna and rust-colored marble, lightly veined in white a rich convergence of dark and light. The kitchen is also filled with dusky granite and dotted with rusts and golds for a look thats almost as dramatic as the lake view, breathtaking,

be the most beautiful room in the house. A most private retreat, the master bedroom entry begins with a dramatic view to the lake and grounds, and then peels off to a large bed and seating area with a wide lake-view window, as well. Possibly the most interesting feature of the master bedroom, besides the million-dollar view, is the wall treatment. Slightly shimmery and luminous, the elephant-skin wall treatment a name that doesnt begin to do the walls justice gives the appearance
of a lush fabric; maybe crushed velvet, or scrunched luxury linen, maybe a copper and caramel-colored foil. The look says unique, tasteful and expensive. You find this texture a lot in Hawaii its an unusual plastering technique, the homeowner said. We wanted something dramatic in the master that is different from the rest of the house. The master includes extensive built-ins, and the bath is filled with cream-colored travertine offset with striated inlays of bold coppers, browns and blacks a pattern that almost appears to flow throughout the room. The master also includes hisand-hers closets and a small windowed chamber that doubles as a private office. Amazing views, fruit-filled trees and resident white geese this lakefront home with a view is worth seeing.
The bassfilled lake behind 9811 Wexford Circle provides a milliondollar view in the spring, when the trees are in bloom.

winner. Offering so many prizes is new this year and they are really fabulous prizes, too, Hodge said. So whats your pleasure? Would you like a new Ford Mustang? Or maybe a Toyota Prius or Mini Cooper is more your style. How about vacations? Would you prefer an elevator ride up the Eiffel tower or a sundrenched session on a Maui beach? My favorite prizes are the cars, but the cash prizes would come in handy, too, Hodge said.
This 6,100 square-foot home, valued at $2.4 million, is spacious and family-friendly inside a gated community in Granite Bay. It includes five bedrooms and four baths, and is located on a hillside with cascading waterfalls and features like sweeping staircases and massive balustrades.
There are lesser prizes, as well. Things like tablets, theater systems, jewelry the odds of winning are really phenomenal. But the real winners will be the recipients of the Ronald McDonald House charity. The organization provides temporary housing for families whose kids are being treated at five area hospitals. We can house 18 families a night, and we are always full, Hodge said. We were working on
expanding when the economy went south. The organization would like to add more rooms to its facility, which is located on the UC Davis Medical Center campus in Sacramento. Families are here for all kinds of reasons, Hodge said. Their kids are having surgery, having daily chemo treatments, for brand-new babies who were born premature. We work with Shriners Hospital, so we also see a lot of kids with burns who have to undergo several treatments. A great organization, and a great raffle with a huge payout.

Oakhills librarian goes the extra mile

Makes library special for readers with extravagant wall art
BY SENA CHRISTIAN
GRANITE BAY VIEW
Oakhills School Librarian Karen Coultas has created vibrant wall art throughout her library.
Some visitors might enter the library at Oakhills School in Granite Bay and think the space has been decorated by a professional artist. The walls are covered up to the ceiling with colorful scenes made out of butcher paper. Theres a pond overflowing with animals, a cactus scene, giraffes roaming through the desert, a lighthouse and even a large-scale gray elephant its trunk protruding several feet out from the wall. The elephant has been there for 18 years, and sometimes the students at the kinder-

3. When there arent classes in here, what kinds of things do you do?
Reading is fundamental for everything you do whether its writing reports or filling out applications. Theres nothing I love seeing more than one of our students whos walking back from lunch with a book wide open, reading and trying not to bump into anybody, enjoying their book so much they cant put it down.

Granite Bay Christian Preschool held its annual I Love You Luncheon fundraiser Feb. 12 to benefit the schools music enhancement program. Preschoolers and their families enjoyed tea, sandwiches and cookies while bidding on the budding artists masterpieces, along with other goods and services donated from local businesses. Our luncheon is the biggest event at our school, said Director Charrene Steinback. This year weve added our silent auction with donations from the community. Its been fabulous. Parent and auction committee member Jamie Cole said the auction will raise even more money for the music program. The community has been so generous and weve gotten so many donations for the school, Cole said.

Think BIG! (Business in God)

Professionals balance biblical beliefs with business practices
BY TONI ARNS
We are servants of God every day, not just on Sundays

Aric Resnicke, owner of business consulting firm Peloton Business Advantage in Fair Oaks and founder of Christian Business Roundtable
eated around a conference table one recent morning, members of the Christian Business Roundtable discussed leadership, operation strategies, profitability and ways to successfully apply Bible principles in the workplace. Aric Resnicke, owner of the business consulting firm Peloton Business Advantage in Fair Oaks and founder of CBR, started the group in 2009 as a way to combat the isolation and loneliness he felt as a Christian in business.

described as a higher moral and ethical code. We want to run business like God wants, he said. Led by a facilitator, meetings begin with what the group calls a Bible-based business devotion, where a passage of scripture is considered for its business practicality. In applying 2 Timothy 1:7 (For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and selfdiscipline), the members posed the question, If you are timid, are you leading? Each roundtable discussion ends with a group prayer. We are servants of God every day, not just on Sundays, Resnicke said. Held in conference rooms and members offices throughout Placer and Sacramento counties, meetings bring peers together twice a month for about two hours. One meeting per month is conducted at a restaurant. We always meet around town, never a church, Resnicke said. People are expected to act their best there. Christian Business Roundtable is organized into seven separate groups, putting like with like. Executive, Solopreneur and Business Manager are three. Members include top community leaders like Phil Isaacs, owner of California Energy Consultant Service, and Pastor Greg Weisman of Bayside Church (where CBR got its start).

Christian Business Roundtable welcomes business leaders from all denominations; however, faith in Christ as Lord and savior is a basic membership requirement. All members are committed to being active members of their community and church, and the meetings should not replace personal worship. Group confidentiality is a high priority. Upcoming events include the quarterly luncheon at Granite Golf Club on Friday, April 19. Business leader and man of faith Dave Leatherby, founder of Leatherbys Family Creamery, is the featured speaker. He will discuss how faith shapes work, and how to demonstrate faith in work. The event will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Membership dues are $39 per month.

dult lives are full of challenges. A child, as well, is often affected by challenges that sometimes seem insurmountable at school, home and with friends. When was the last time you had a hearty, sidesplitting belly laugh? Laughter is enjoyable, but also health-promoting. In fact, humor and laughter brighten your mood, improve your sense of well-being and help promote positive social interactions while reducing anxiety, tension, anger and depression. Your cardiovascular system and heart get some muc-needed exercise, and for a side benefit, humor helps reduce pain.
When it comes to kids, humor opens doors

Sheri Hitchings You and Your Kids
when they are 10 weeks old; six weeks later they are laughing about once every hour. The average American adult is said to laugh only about 15 times a day; however, very happy adults laugh several hundred times a day.
when you share a laugh with someone, you both let down your guard and establish a connection. What more could we want from our relationship with our child, especially when that sense of connection is crucial in life? When you think about it, what strikes us as funny is usually triggered by a mismatch between what we expect and what we see.
humor yourself is being observed constantly, so be cognizant of the repercussions when you dish out your humor.
Is humor healthy?
Humor helps a child successfully cope with stresses in daily living within the family and outside the family. Humor takes the edge off moments that are not palatable for kids. We all know there are health benefits to laughing; the endorphins make you feel better, calmer and relaxed. Humor keeps things in perspective and defuses tense situations.
adults might not think the action is funny, but no harm is done. If humor doesnt hurt someones feelings, its healthy to have a good laugh. However, laughter at the expense of someone elses feelings is hurtful.
Looking in all the right places
Humor can be bonding

A child with good humor copes better with bad moods, anger and anxiety. When he allows himself to experience mistakes, he can laugh at himself, which helps to accept shortcomings. He also has more success with bonding with others. Think about this: Caution: Humor may be hazardous to your illness. No wonder clowns are often brought into hospitals to cheer up the children.
Humor helps ... or does it?

The most important thing your child needs to know, whether he is a toddler or teen, is that he is loved. Most children love humor; however, others simply dont appreciate it. You know if your child does or not. How you take and handle
Connections
What can we do as adults to make life more palatable for a child? Think about Victor Borges quote, Laughter is the shortest distance between two people. Its true
Laughter begins early in life

Babies start to laugh
What makes things funny?

Children will laugh and roll on the floor when they see something funny;
Funny movies, joke books, pun books and a comedian provide lots of humor. Joke books are available in the library and stores. Cartoons can be found in magazines and newspapers. Have your child find mistakes in newspapers and magazines that are humorous and discuss them. When a child laughs at other peoples jokes, he feels better and is more likeable. As Bill Cosby says, Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it. To me that sounds like a real winning situation.

here are certain fitness myths that just wont die. These ideas are passed from one unsuspecting person to the next a little tidbit of misinformation that does more harm than good. Ive heard them all. Theres the myth about ab crunches melting off belly fat. (Sorry folks, spot reduction doesnt exist. Youve got to burn the fat from your body as a whole.) Then theres the one that says the faster you do an exercise the better, even at the expense of form. (Ouch. This philosophy has caused many an injury. Never sacrifice form for speed.) Ive even heard one that says recovery days
Busting the cardio myth

Deb Skelton Fitness Column
are not necessary. (Rest days are actually of vital importance to your recovery and weight loss.) But of all the fitness myths out there, the one that gets under my skin the most is the belief that fat loss comes as a result of long, slow cardio sessions. Ive seen many people waste their time and effort on long, slow cardio sessions. The truth is that intense, shorter workouts that incorporate resist-
ance training with challenging bouts of cardio will burn fat quicker than a long, steady cardio session. Who doesnt love to save time? If you are still plodding away on the treadmill 60 minutes at a time, then you are spending more time to get half of results. Allow me to introduce you to a little technique called HIIT. High-Intensity Interval Training is an exercise strategy that improves performance with short training sessions. These sessions involve a warm up period; several short, maximum-intensity efforts that are separated by moderate recovery in-
tervals; and a cool-down period. The addition of explosions of speed into your comfortable pace will increase your power, muscle tone, speed, strength, endurance and, best of all, it allows you to burn more calories. There you have it all you need to know to take your workouts to the next level.
Bonus burn
After you exercise using HIIT, your body goes into a state of increased metabolic output. Simply put, this means that your body will continue to burn extra calories long after you have put down your last set and left the gym. On the other hand, if
you stick with a long session of steady cardio, your calorie burning would stop quickly after you hopped off that treadmill. I dont know about you, but I like the concept of burning more calories after Im done exercising. Talk about a bonus! Say goodbye to steady cardio and embrace a whole new fitness philosophy centered around HIIT. Watch how quickly your body begins to transform.

f you havent done so already, you may be getting ready to file your individual federal and state income tax returns. Or maybe youre still thinking about it. Or maybe youre not. Either way, April 15 will soon be upon us, and perhaps youre looking for ways to reduce Uncle Sams bill. The good news is that with over a month left for the filing deadline, theres still time to consider taking advantage of certain tax deductions that may be available to you. While tax credits are highly desired and sought out, as they are a dollar-for-dollar reduction of taxes due, tax deductions are not far
Its tax season: Can I deduct the dog?

behind, as they may reduce your taxable income, hence lowering the taxes due. Although I havent been asked about deducting the dog on a tax return, at least not literally, its come close. But lets talk about a deduction that may be available to you. The ever-so-popular Individual Retirement Account, or more commonly known IRA, is a great way to reduce your taxable income and save
for retirement. For those who are eligible, the IRA contribution limit for 2012 is $5,000 and for individuals 50 or over, the catch-up contribution is an additional $1,000. For example, a 55-year-old can contribute up to $6,000 in an IRA. Contributions can be made all the way to the tax filing deadline of April 15, 2013. Qualifying for a taxdeductible contribution to an IRA depends on at least a couple of different criteria: your participation in an employersponsored retirement plan and your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI). If you were an active participant in your employers qualified re-
tirement plan in 2012, your eligibility to make a tax-deductible contribution to an IRA is limited if your MAGI was over $58,000 (filing single) or $92,000 (filing jointly). This eligibility is phased out completely if the MAGI was over $68,000 (filing single) or $112,000 (filing jointly). However, if you have a non-working spouse, or your spouse was not offered a qualified retirement plan at work, he/she may be able to make a tax-deductible contribution to an IRA. Income limits still apply for eligibility but are higher than for an individual covered by an employersponsored plan. Contri-

butions can be fully deductible for MAGI of up to $173,000. Phase-out begins at $173,000 and eligibility is completely phased out at $183,000. Lets consider the example of Ted, 49, and Lisa, 50. They file their taxes jointly and their MAGI for 2012 is $154,000. Ted is offered an employer-sponsored plan from work, to which he actively contributes. Lisa is a stay-at-home mom and would like to save toward her retirement. She can contribute up to $6,000 to her IRA based on Teds income. Ted, however, cannot contribute due to his income and participation in his employers plan. Remember, these contributions have to be made from earned income and the above criteria pertain to the taxdeductibility of your contributions. You can still make non-deductible IRA contributions at any income level; you just dont get to deduct them on your tax return. Perhaps thats a topic for another discussion. As would be the topic of Roth IRAs, which in my opinion are one of the most under-utilized retirement savings vehicles. Speaking of Roth IRAs, its important to note here that the $5,000 limit is an aggregate of contributions made for the tax year in a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA. In addition, you can no longer contribute to an IRA starting the year you turn 70 years of age. Self-employed individuals have a few more options available to
them. For simplicity, well address two of them here: SEP-IRA and Solo 401(k). A SEP-IRA will allow a sole proprietor to defer up to 20 percent of net selfemployment income (up to $50,000 for 2012), while a Solo 401(k) will allow you to contribute the lesser of $17,000 or your net self-employment income. In addition, a $5,500 catch-up contribution is allowed in Solo 401(k) for individuals aged 50 or over, as well as a profit-sharing contribution of up to 20 percent of net selfemployment income. The SEP-IRA has no such provisions. Additional restrictions and limitations apply to each kind of plan and it is highly recommended that you consult with a tax adviser who can further determine eligibility and specific benefits of these retirement plans in your particular situation. And finally, its not too early to contribute for 2013. This year, contribution limits have been raised to $5,500, with the catch-up contributions staying at $1,000. Oh, and its not likely that you can deduct your dog ... at least not anytime soon.

Gavin Bomhoff, 11, completes his first marathon with a kick

BY BILL POINDEXTER
This Granite Bay youth gets good mileage

another at 10, trained six months for his first marathon with a weekly run of 10 to 20 miles on trails from the Bomhoff home in Granite Bay to the Lake Natoma area. We gave him the training plan to figure it all out, Greg Bomhoff said. Mom and dad also let Gavin choose his marathon. The course is mostly flat and runs along the beach. The weather is perfect. I wanted to do something not a lot of people do, Gavin said by cellphone as the family vehicle reached the bottom of the Grapevine in Southern California during the long ride home. Sheri Bomhoff, with Gavins Mom written on her bib, ran the race with him. Greg and Gavins older brother Garret, 13, who has run a couple of half marathons himself, served as the crew and gave Gavin water. Gavin was timed in 4 hours, 36 minutes, 38 seconds. Greg Bomhoff said Gavin ran identical splits in the first and second half and averaged 10:34 per mile. Gavin had fans cheering him on over the course of the race, but was a little sore in the car. He saw a dolphin during his run, but the smile on Gavins face turned to determination about mile 18. It started getting really hard, he said. The last hour was the hardest. My body was just tired. I really, really wanted to finish because of all the stuff Ive put into it, and I waited a long time. When Gavin saw the finish line, he took off. Sheri finished in 4:37:06, 28 seconds behind him. I thought, Wow, I dont have that in me, she said. I love that kick. Sheri Bomhoff said people encouraged her son, yelled to ask how old he was, and young volunteers pointed him out. The coolest thing was he never even had a doubt he could do it, Greg Bomhoff said. Gavin wants to run another marathon in about six months. I cant really describe it, he said of the finish. It felt really, really good.

Youth marathon runners are rare. The most notable name is Budhia Singh who, at the age of 4, ran 40 miles in May 2006. Young Marathon Runners of America has just 226 likes on the Internet. You just dont see them, Sheri Bomhoff said. She saw her son, Gavin, for about four and a half hours, until he hit the gas one last time and left her behind at the end of the Surf City USA Marathon in Huntington Beach in February. At 11 years old, Gavin Bomhoff was the youngest of 2,300 runners for his first marathon. There was one 12-year-old girl and two 14-year-olds. Young Gavin, a sixthgrader at Franklin Elementary School in Loomis, didnt exactly drop the long-distance bomb on his parents. Sheri has run the American River 50, and dad Greg is an ultramarathoner who has taken on the Western States Endurance Run, the Rio Del Lago 100 and the Badwater 135. So who better to prepare Gavin for his first 26.2? We never pushed or encouraged him too heavily, Greg Bomhoff said. Gavin is a 70-pounder with Loomis Wrestling and a defender and goalie with the Crew soccer club, so Greg Bomhoff said he knew Gavin was fit to run. Gavin, who ran a halfmarathon at age 9 and

Jess Riegel makes documentary about Unicycle World Championships

BY PAUL CAMBRA
Big wheel filmmaker

Riegel went into this Unicon with the goal of capturing the essence of each discipline, which can include anything from artistic freestyle, track racing and cross country downhill to basketball and hockey games. I wanted to paint a portrait of the whole sport, said Riegel, who earned a degree in painting from UC Santa Barbara. Im riding my 36inch through this beautiful old city it was such a multi-cultural experience. I interviewed riders from all over the world. The 36-inch he refers to is his cross-country unicycle, about as large a diameter wheel as you will find. But its just right for his forays onto the Folsom Lake trails and the Clementine Loop. I saw a mountain unicycling video online and it absolutely blew me
UNICON 16 BRIXEN
Available at: Auburn Bike Works, 350 Grass Valley Highway; Atown Bikes, 943 Lincoln Way; Bicycle Emporium, 483 Grass Valley Highway Cost: $25 Watch the trailer at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kDPOwMwQHo Info: www.jessriegel.com
hat do an ex-secretary of defense and an ex-Monkee have in common? No, they both didnt work alongside Ronald Reagan. But Donald Rumsfeld and Mike Nesmith could both ride a unicycle. For those of you fascinated with the singlewheeled sensation, local enthusiast Jess Riegel has made a documentary about Unicon, the biennial unicycling world championships. It was in Brixen, Italy, a beautiful ski resort town, Riegel said. It was paradise for Munis (mountain unicyclists). Youd take a chair lift to the top and the races went uphill and downhill.
away, Riegel said. I was inspired. I started riding every day and I got connected with other riders in the area. You might say his lean toward extreme unicycling fits his personality. When I first decided I would learn to ride, I wanted to start that day! he said. He called around, Auburn Bike Works had a unicycle for sale, so he went and got it. That was 2002. I was addicted. I rode every day. And when he first heard about Unicon? I just plunged into it; I was fully immersed.
Plunges, immersions and addictions. What next? Burning Man? This has got to be the most well loved 36-inch I have ever seen, Riegel said of his Frankenstein (a piece from here, a part from there). I rode it on the beach in Santa Barbara, I took it to Burning Man three times. Its probably still dusty from the last trip. The Unicon in Brixen was the fourth he has attended. His first was in Tokyo in 2004, with Zack Baldwin (2004 World Unicycle Trails Champ) and Granite Bay unicycle enthusiast John Hooten.

UNICYCLE: Riegel set up an obstacle course in the yard

continued from page 40 Jess was one my wifes patients at Kaiser, Hooten said. She had a picture of me on a unicycle in her examination room and Jess asked Is that (off-road pioneer) Kris Holm? and she said No but he wishes he was. Hooten, who actually met Holm at Unicon 2000 in Beijing, learned to ride when he was a student at Temple University. I was coaching rowing, and I was looking for ways to distract myself from over thinking, Hooten said. I learned to do a couple of coin tricks, then juggling. A friend suggested I try the unicycle. But it wasnt until their move to Granite Bay in 1990 that it all fell into place. When signing their children up for school, a kid on a unicycle rode through the playground,
Theres a steep learning curve. The only way to learn is to try it over and over and over.
Jess Riegel, on learning to ride the unicycle
MICHAEL KIRBY GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE
Jess Riegel bought his first unicycle from Auburn Bike Works in 2002. Riegel recently produced a movie, Unicon 16 Brixen, about the unicycle world championships in Italy last year. It is available at Auburn Bike Works, Atown Bikes and Bicycle Emporium in Auburn.
followed soon after by another. My wife said I guess we moved to the right place. Turns out the Eureka 4H club had quite a unicycle contingent. Once Hootens youngest son joined, John became the defacto teacher. Then I had to figure out a way to teach people how to ride, Hooten said. He did, and he figures hes taught close to 200 kids since then. Once he became Scoutmaster of Troop 121 in 1996, and
most of the 4-H members were Boy Scouts, they began riding as a unit in the Auburn Light Parade, the Roseville Christmas Parade and a few more every year. Though not a Scout, Riegel would practice with Hootens troop. He also had an obstacle course set up in his parents yard. At first, it was all about the tricks, he said. Now its about covering miles, using it as transportation, getting around. I take it to the post office all of the time. Both Riegel and Hooten said its mostly positive reactions they get from people when they are out riding. If they had a nickel for every time someone yelled You lost a wheel, theyd fly to the next Unicon first class. As it is, Riegel will
continue marketing his DVD, which can be found at three bike shops in Auburn. His advice to anyone considering taking up the unicycle? Theres a steep learning curve, he said. The only way to learn is to try it over and over and over. Each time you get an inch farther. Those ever-sosmall advances, we have to use those to propel us to keep going. The next thing you know, youre riding around the block. Or on the trail. Or in a parade. Or better yet, on the streets of Montreal, site of the next Unicon. For me, its about getting a little exercise and being fully engaged. Being completely present in what I am doing, Riegel said. At age 17 I had no fear. At 25, I just dont want to hurt myself.

The USS Iowa was built in 1940 and had a long tenure serving our country 50 years in all. It was once called the Worlds Greatest Naval Ship mainly because of her big guns, speed, armor and the modern components. The USS Iowa opened for business last summer at its new location in San Pedro, practically next door to the Los Angeles cruise ship terminals. Its a

of the ships interior and exterior. Along the tour route, youll have museum representatives giving you information on what exactly youre seeing and theyll answer any questions you have. There are also descriptions and explanations posted in the various areas of the ship, as well as a number of displays for you to review at the end of the tour. And the tour exits through a gift store with lots of interesting merchandise related to the USS Iowa. Be forewarned: This is not a tour for someone who has mobility problems. There are many stairs most of them straight up and down that connect the various decks of the ship. We noticed one senior citizen having to literally be pushed up the first set of stairs and then offered a seat where one of the tour representatives advised against continuing any further. But if you can climb a 10-foot ladder youll be okay there are plenty of things to hang on to and, while there are many different sets of stairs, none of them has a lot of steps. The tour also is linear in the sense that once you start on the tour youre either going to go all the way through it or all the way back to get off the ship. You cant pick and choose sections you want to see, although you can spend a little longer time in some areas if you prefer. When we were there it was a busy Sunday, so it was like following a line of people through a building with many rooms, nooks and crannies and stairs. One of the most interesting spots we noticed on this first tour was the ships bridge and command center, where its fascinating to see that even back in World War II, the ships designers had designed a safe room with thick steel armor where the captain and other officers could retreat and still operate the ship while being protected from enemy fire. The line slowed down quite a bit in this area where visitors took their time to observe the controls and enjoy the forward view from the tower. Another highlight was where
The USS Iowa has three turrets of 16-inch guns, including the turret that blew up in the 80s.
AT A GLANCE
Where: The USS Iowa Museum is in San Pedro, just south of Los Angeles and adjacent to Long Beach. The ship is berthed close to the cruise ship terminal and next to the Los Angeles Maritime Museum, which features interesting artifacts and history if you have some extra time. What: The USS Iowa is a fascinating look at one of the countrys most historic naval vessels and brings a true appreciation of what life was like for our sailors during
World War II and the decades following. The ship has been turned into a museum that includes a carefully mapped-out tour route taking you through many points of interest on the ship. In general youll want to allow about an hour to 90 minutes to take the tour. When: This tour can be done any time of the year, although parts of it take you out on the decks and it probably would not be advisable to take on a rainy day. Fortunately for visitors to the USS Iowa, this part of California doesnt get much rain. Why: This tour is all about the history, the
ingenuity of those who build our Navy ships, and the sense that so many of our Naval heroes have sacrificed so much to be at sea, whether during peacetime or time of war. When you get up close and see what goes into operating this vessel, everyone in your family will appreciate the experience. How: For more information on the USS Iowa, visit www.pacificbattleship.com or phone (877) 446-9261. If you want to stay in the area overnight, resort-style accommodations are nearby at the Doubletree by Hilton San Pedro, (310) 514-3344.
the tour route takes visitors to the forward section of the bow, past two of the ships three incredibly big gun turrets, each housing three long 16-inch guns. If youre taking pictures, the money shot is right from the bow looking back at these guns. Its also interesting to note that one of these turrets was involved in a 1989 explosion that killed 47 sailors an event that was big news all over the world. The tour takes you through officers quarters and youll step right into the captains cabin, which isnt quite like a suite on a major cruise ship, but still pretty spacious and inviting compared to the cramped quarters elsewhere on the ship. There is an officers recreation area that features a big-screen TV, lounge chairs and other
nearby areas to relax or socialize with other officers. Youll also see the mess area where the ships sailors took their meals an area not unlike a school lunch room, only a lot more compact because of limited space on the ship. One could imagine how unpleasant it might be for cooks who were confined to a claustrophobic kitchen with low ceilings, rolling and pitching in the waves with various smells wafting in the air. Still, having just come back from touring the replica of the Mayflower, we could see that ships have come a long way since the 17th century. The USS Iowa is historic in many ways. For example, the ship has hosted more U.S. presidents than any other battleship. The ship had a bathtub put in specifically for Franklin
D. Roosevelt to use during his lengthy voyage over to meet with Stalin, Churchill and Chiang Kai Shek at the Tehran Conference. Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush also have been hosted on the ship. During World War II, the USS Iowa was active in both the Atlantic and Pacific, although the majority of its missions were fighting the Japanese, bombarding various Japaneseheld islands during a number of campaigns that lasted throughout the war. The ship was hit by enemy fire and there is a place on the tour where youll see a dent put in one of the gun turrets by enemy artillery. The USS Iowa was also active in the Korean War and on patrol during the Cold War and post-Cold War period.
The USS Iowa made world headlines on April 19, 1989, when the No. 2 16-inch gun turret exploded, killing 47 crewmen and causing significant damage to the turret. There was some question about the cause, with two investigations later concluding two different causes. At first the U.S. Navy concluded that a crew member who died in the explosion had deliberately caused it. Congress then did an investigation and determined that too much powder in the gun barrel likely caused the event, causing the Navy to re-open its investigation. However, the Navy ultimately decided that the cause could not be determined.
