Whether you’re grilling dinner or enjoying a conversation,
outdoor living has never been this comfortable
BY EILEEN WILSON
GRANITE BAY VIEW

A wintry spring has kept outdoor entertaining enthusiasts

indoors, but now that the sun has come out, the heat is on
when it comes to outdoor dining and entertaining.
Stores including Pottery World in Rocklin are stocking up on cus-
tomer favorites when it comes to fresh, new patio décor.
According to Pottery World owner Jim Rodda, dining sets are pop-
ular, but deep-seating furniture has increased in popularity, with
homeowners wanting to take outdoor living to the next, more luxu-
rious level.
“The climate “More people are finding themselves enjoying
the outdoors,” Rodda said. “Deep seating — fur-

enjoy a conversation around a coffee table or a

said. “It’s such a quick and easy thing.”
Another of Redmund’s outdoor favorites is
grilling with skewers — simple foods such as
prawns or vegetables.
“Prawns are delicious and all you need to do is baste them with a
little olive oil and lemon butter,” Redmund said. “If you serve them,
you’ll have a lot of happy friends.” Redmund explained that prawns ANNE STOKES • GRANITE BAY VIEW
are so quick and easy that anyone can grill them. Outdoor furniture is trending toward comfortable options that go way beyond dining.

grilling fish occasionally challenges a beginner.
Redmund’s La Petite Party Gourmet offers a sum-

that can be delivered ready to serve, so the outdoor
enthusiast can entertain with minimal fuss, and spend
more time with friends.

accompaniment to an outdoor event.
“Anything without mayonnaise as a base is great,”
she said.
Though the food gets star billing, creating the right
atmosphere is important as well.
Redmund suggests simple tabletop décor — flow-
ers from the garden, hurricane lamps with candles,
and citronella in tiki torches, which should be placed
far enough away from the food area so diners won’t

smell the pungent aroma.
Granite Bay resident Patty
Phillips loves to entertain out-
doors, and she agrees that
outdoor décor is important
when it comes to hosting
meals and events.
“We have several tables and
benches throughout the yard,
which we feel is much more
casual than eating at a large
dining-room type table,” she
said of herself and her hus-
band, Corley.

barbecue, and they built their
Craftsman-style home to eas-
ily accommodate moving the
party outdoors.
“To entertain on a large
scale, seating is key,” Patty
Phillips said. “You need multi-
ple tables that seat four and
that seat eight, as well as sev-
eral umbrellas if you don’t
have a lot of covered areas.
The whole ambiance — the
plants and fountains, it was
our intent to make the yard
feel like a park when we
designed the backyard.”
While families may not
want to redesign their back-
yards in time for the toasty
weather, they can slowly add
items to their outdoor enter-
taining arsenal each summer.
Rodda recommends chaise
lounges, statuary, fountains
and natural stone tabletops,
to add to the outdoor setting.
Patty Phillips said that
adding small items like can-
dles is a simple, yet inexpen-
sive way to add ambiance to
an outdoor table.
“I’ve acquired things over
the years, to entertain out-
doors, because I love to be
outside so much,” Phillips
said.
Excellent advice.

We kick back with Granite Bay resident
Jim Rodda and talk about how he grew
his business into a local home décor
institution.
Q: How did Pottery World get its start?
A: I went from selling pottery at
Denio’s Farmers Market and Auction to
my first Pottery World retail store in
1975, where we sold macramé, crafts,
then later, home furnishings. Pottery
World Rocklin opened in 2000, and we
just opened a 12,000-square-foot store
in El Dorado Hills.
Q: Compare Pottery World in the 1970s
to now.
A: When I saw a lot of people flock-
ing to macramé and beads in Southern
California in the ’70s, I saw that people
loved making their own things, so we
offered classes where people could buy
beads and everything that went with it.
Later we went to crafts like needlepoint
and knitting. Today we offer both
indoor and outdoor décor — Hanamint
and Windward are some of our most
popular lines right now. We also offer
statuary and fountains.
Q: How hands-on are you in the busi-
ness?

Escape to Cabos for authentic, fresh Mexican fare
BY TOBY LEWIS
GRANITE BAY VIEW
I love to dine out, but I don’t
dine out at Mexican restau-
rants very often.
Why bother when most of
the time, the best authentic
Mexican food is that which you
can find in the most unassum-
ing places — taco trucks, hole-
in-the-wall joints and mom-n-
pop shops.
When I dine at a sit-down
Mexican restaurant, I expect to
be whisked away into another
realm, to be transported from
my suburban surroundings to
a place exotic, where palm
trees sway and I can rest my
feet on a sandy beach while
salt water gently caresses my
toes.
Pulling into the parking lot at
Cabos Restaurant in Granite
Bay, I had a feeling I was about
to be taken away on a whimsi-
cal culinary vacation.
Located in a highly devel-
oped area on Auburn Folsom
Road, Cabos stands out as
more reminiscent of a Spanish-
style mission or Mexican villa
rather than a restaurant.
When my date and I walked
through the tall, wooden dou-
ble doors, we were greeted by a
friendly host who offered to
take us to a table.
We asked if we could sit at
the bar, which was empty, for a
drink before dinner and she
politely said, “Of course.”
It was shortly after 5 p.m. and
the restaurant does not offer a
happy hour, so I was not sur-
prised to find the bar empty.
Our bartender, Chava, was
friendly and attentive and told
us about the various drink
options available to us, includ-
ing the specialty drink list
which featured a plethora of
house-made margaritas.
I ordered the Top Shelf Mar-
garita, which was made up of
Sauza Hornitos Reposado
tequila, sweet and sour mix
and a float of Grand Marnier,
which Chava said is their most
popular.
I was pleasantly surprised at

the attentiveness of the staff as
we were brought fresh, house-
made chips and salsa.
The chips were a nice blend
of flour and corn tortillas and
we could tell the salsa was
made fresh.
Owner Ezequiel Rodriguez
said they use only rice oil,
which contains no saturated
fat, for all of the frying in the
restaurant.
Rodriguez runs the restau-
rant with his daughter Rosie
and has been working in the
business for 40 years, he said.
His passion for quality and
freshness was apparent in the
menu and the chips and salsa.
After a short time at the bar,
and a few too many chips and
salsa, my date and I asked to be
seated in the dining room.
After we were seated, the
hostess gave us menus and we
sat for about 10 minutes before
Rodriguez came to greet us.
Rodriguez was very knowl-
edgeable and enthusiastic
about his menu, which con-
tains about three dozen differ-
ent options, and shared with us
some of his favorite items as
well as some insight into his

We decided to order the nated skirt steak served with

green peppers, housemade
ranchera sauce and cheese.
The dish also came with a

rice, beans and tortillas.
My date ordered the Cala-
mari Costa Brava, which
Rodriguez said has been on the
menu since they opened 14
years ago. That dish was a filet
of squid prepared abalone style
and cooked in wine, lemon,
garlic and fresh herbs.
Both my date and I were able
to get through about half of our
entrees before we were too full
to continue.
I don’t blame the restaurant
for the large portion size how-
ever. It is an unfortunate fact
that too many restaurants
focus on portion size rather
than flavor.
Cabos clearly focuses on
both as the flavors were defi-
nitely there. The food was
authentic and fresh.
It was refreshing to hear
Rodriguez talk about his pas-
sion for fresh ingredients in his
food and the absence of lard in
his kitchen.
“I know there are a lot of
Mexican restaurants that swear
lard gives good flavor,” he said.
“There’s the spices and what
you put on the food, that’s
what is going to give it good fla-
vor, not lard.”
While Cabos offers many of
the familiar Mexican staples,
what really impressed me
about the restaurant is its Par-
rillada and Mariscos (translat-
ed: mixed grill and seafood,
respectively).
Clearly, much thought and
preparation has gone into the
menu with an emphasis on
fresh ingredients and timeli-
ness in the kitchen.
While the décor, the music
and the authenticity of the
food was enough to give me a
genuine Mexican cultural
experience, I was somewhat
disappointed that as I stepped
back out those big double
doors, I did not step out onto a
sandy beach where I could lay
down and take a nap.

“You have to have
emotion and passion,
behind the food,”
says Alexander, who has been a chef for 20 years.

Training at the California Culinary

Academy in San Francisco and working for
Wolfgang Puck and Hubert Keller, two of
the founding chefs of California cuisine,
have given Alexander the skills and talent
to create flavorful dishes. Alexander said he
serves meals that are California French and
include the bounty of the area - locally
grown ingredients and easily found ethnic
spices and produce.

The Horseshoe Bar Grill menu changes

seasonally, but it is not just the food that
sets his restaurant apart, Alexander said, but
also a casual, continental-style service his
staff presents.
Alexander was the head chef for Beerman’s
in Lincoln. He later served as the education
manager for Cordon Bleu Sacramento,
formerly the Kitchen Academy.

sipping
Cool wines for hot summer days
BY TINKA DAVI
GRANITE BAY VIEW
As the temps heat up in the area, many people tend
to reach for a tall, cool beverage, eschewing wine for
the summer season. But, hold on. Marcus Graziano,
owner of Capitol Cellars Granite Bay at Quarry Ponds,
has some excellent wines to serve and enjoy during
the summer.
In fact, he said many wines are available during the
summer months that are not stocked in the winter.
They include rosé, which is becoming extremely pop-
ular in south France and more recently in this area.
“Rosé is a great wine to drink during the summer,”
Graziano said. “It goes with chicken, fish, salads and
cold pasta dishes.”
Graziano noted that many people are changing their
minds about rosé wines after tasting them. While they
were once thought of as wine with less quality or an
afterthought because a few wineries made rosé from
leftover juice, some of California’s top wineries in Paso
Robles, Napa, Sonoma and Monterey are now making
rosé wines that are enjoyable and very refreshing.
Pinot Grigio, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc are
other good wines for summertime and also can be
paired with chicken, salads, cold appetizers and cold
pasta salads, Graziano said. And it’s OK to serve them
with red meat and barbecues.
“The consumer is seeing a relationship between wine
and food and, in general, is becoming more educated.
They also see the health value of having wine in their
diet and with food,” Graziano said. “There are no rules.
It’s important that you drink what you like. You can
drink white wine with red meat and red wine with fish.”
In his role as wine merchant, Graziano likes to edu-
cate people about wines. “We specialize in wines that
are small produced,” he said. “Often there’s more of a
demand for these wines than the wineries produce.”
He offers tastings of a variety of wines from different
areas and different countries. That’s an advantage over
tasting just one label at a winery.
Capitol Cellars has menus from three Quarry Ponds
restaurants, Hawks, Source and Pete’s Restaurant &
Brewhouse. Customers can order appetizers, lunch or
dinner and the restaurant will deliver the meals to the
wine shop.
“People can try different wines with the food,”
Graziano said. “It’s a whole new experience.”

Equine therapy making a difference
Working with horses can be beneficial for children
on autism spectrum, says pediatric neurologist
BY MARGARET SNIDER
GRANITE BAY VIEW
Six-year-old Bella
Farhang, chatting and
animated, walks onto the
Patriot Farms grounds
with her mother, Deanne
Farhang. They are met by
Kristie LaFreniere, head
trainer and manager of
the Granite Bay stables.
Bella has been coming
to Patriot Farms for rid-
ing lessons since she was
4, after she was diag-
nosed with pervasive
developmental disorder,
which includes condi-
tions of visual deficiency,
lack of coordination,
receptive and expressive
language disabilities,
insomnia, sleep distur-
bance, transient alter-
ation of awareness, and
general anxiety disorder.
Here, the spreading
trees throw shade over
the lawns and sitting area
next to the paddock,
birds sing up above, city
sounds are absent, and
peace reigns.
Bella’s mount, the
chestnut gelding Ernie, is
ready to be saddled and
bridled. LaFreniere sets
Bella to buckling buckles
and she tackles it with
focus and concentration.
“It’s really crucial that
Kristie gives her this time
to buckle buckles, fasten,
and strap, and hook on,
and unhook, and do all
those things,” said Bella’s
mom, Deanne Farhang.
“It’s just as beneficial to
her as the riding, and it
gives her a real sense of
accomplishment when
she’s able to focus.”

has difficulty.
“She’s really developed

has taught her — stomp-

Bella’s mom said. “I can’t
put my finger on one sin-
soul.”
Amer Kahn, M.D., a
board-certified pediatric
neurologist and sleep
specialist, is one of Bella’s
doctors.
“Equine therapy is one
of several modes of treat-
ment that are beneficial
for children on the
autism spectrum,” said
Dr. Khan. “However, it
has to be coupled with
who benefit the most
from this form of therapy
are usually higher-func-
tioning children who
have some understand-
ing of language and some
ability to interact.”
During this current
one-hour session, Bella is
helmeted and sitting
straight and tall on Ernie’s
back, English style. The
instructor puts Ernie
ing a lunge line and cue-
ing the pony.
Bella posts easily, mov-
ing up and down with the
rhythm of the trot, hold-
ing her posture.
LaFreniere could not
say exactly when Bella
began to improve; it was
gradual.
“I got little responses at
first,” LaFreniere said.

 EQUINE: Behavior modification and
psychotherapy made easier by use of animals
continued from 22
“She’d pay attention — it
was just I’d lose her really
quickly. Now I just feel
like she’s really locked on
and keyed in and knows
the routine, knows what
she has to do.”
Dr. Kahn described
some of the difficulties
encountered by children
such as Bella.
“A huge problem they
often face in everyday life
is overwhelming anxiety
and repetitive behaviors,
which prevent them
from learning and inter-
acting better with the
environment,” he said.
“The term anxiety in the
context of these children

Kristie LaFreniere watches over her. noise, textures, touch,
smells, as well as suscep-
tibility to feeling stressed
when interacting socially.”
Now Bella takes control
of Ernie, without the
instructor having a line
on the horse. She turns
him to the side herself,
using the reins.
In other aspects of Bel-
la’s life, her report card
has improved, she fol-
lows directions more eas-
ily, her motor control is
much better, and her lev-
el of confidence is rising.
“It’s never going to be
where she suddenly
wakes up and she’s func-
tional in those ways,”
said her mom. “The dif-
ference is going to be
how she copes with what
she’s been given. And I
think that the horseback
riding helps her do that.
It alleviates the anxiety
and stress.”
LaFreniere said she
was skeptical at the
beginning. Deanne
Farhang is clear in giving
the trainer credit for the
change.
“It’s Kristie, it’s not just
any riding instructor,”
Farhang said. “Not every
riding instructor not hav-
ing the experience with
special needs kids and
autism, (can) take a child
and transform them liter-
ally with patience and
perseverance and consis-
tency.”
According to Dr. Kahn,
equine therapy can be
helpful, used with other
modalities.
“Behavior modification
and psychotherapy is
very difficult with these
children,” said Dr. Kahn.
“(It is) made easier by the
use of animals, particu-
larly intelligent large ani-
mals who directly
respond to human emo-
tions and touch, there-
fore giving the child feed-
back on good or bad
behavior. For this form of
therapy to succeed, like
any other form of thera-
py, there has to be consis-
tency of routine and suf-
ficient duration of treat-
ment to be able to see
significant improve-
ment.”
At the end of this les-
son Bella rides bareback.
Afterward, she comes
running up to her mom.
“Momma, I had a good
ride! I had a bareback
ride!”
Deanne Farhang
knows how much the
horses mean to her
daughter.
“That’s her favorite
thing, the bareback,” she
said. “The control of her
own body. And for her to
be able to get on the
horse and make the
horse do what she wants
it to do is huge.”
LaFreniere is also
impressed by the change
in Bella, particularly over
the last few months.
“She has just been a bit
of a miracle,” she said.

roads is a place where
you can share wisdom
(and a laugh), learn
something new, and
remember what it was
like to create.
For 18 years, mixed
media artist and teacher
Susan Riegel has been
inviting creative young-
sters onto her property.
Her little red workshop
became the namesake
for the art classes, Red
Barn Studios.
“I started doing art
projects with children
when my kids were
young,” she said. “Their
friends would come over
and it just evolved. I
thought, you know, I
should really offer this to
everybody.”
It wasn’t long before
adults wanted to get in
on the action.
“Adults would say, that
looks like so much fun.
So I thought I should not
ignore those comments,”
she said.

“There’s a lot of work to

Riegel hasn’t repeated a

one company prepares
to build 17 new homes in the

The New Home Company is
building semi-custom homes
in a picturesque neighborhood

Spokesperson Mike Hoye

“I can tell you that there is a

from consumers, which hope-
fully signifies that there is a
thirst for new homes in the
area,” Hoye said.
According to Realtor Brad

Local family
gives back
For Mark and Stacey
Haney, Placer County has
been the place they grew
up, started their careers
and raised their two chil-
dren attending and grad-
uating from Granite Bay
High School.
Throughout the years
the entire family has
enjoyed and remained
active in team sports, so
establishing the donor-
advised, “Allegiant Youth
Sports Fund” at the Plac-
er Community Founda-
tion was a way for the
Haneys to bridge their
family’s interests with
their desire to give back
to their community.
Growing up, Mark
played for the Roseville
Bobcats Football Associa-
tion and played team
sports at Oakmont High
School. As his two chil-
dren Marcus and Ashley
grew and became active
in sports, he coached
football and softball, tak-
ing his Roseville teams to
the State Champi-
onships.
In support of their son
Marcus, who currently
serves in the United
States Marine Corps,
Stacey volunteers her free
time with Blue Star
Moms — a group of
women lending support
and sharing their pride
and devotion for the sons
and daughters who have
served, or are currently
serving in all branches of
the Armed Forces.
Through this work
Stacey helps produce the
very successful Battle at
the Capital event held at
Del Oro High School in
Loomis.
A three-day competi-
tion among Northern
California high school
football teams, which
now includes a fundrais-
ing Golf Tournament.
Organizers of the event
have partnered with the
Armed Forces to include
a special honor for mili-
tary families.
The Allegiant Youth
Sports Fund provides to
support sports programs
for youth in the commu-
nity. Mark Haney knows
firsthand the impact
team sports have had on
him and his family.
“They provide youth
lifelong values of team-
work and discipline,
which are not always
taught in the home,”
Mark says.
These days Mark and
Stacey are enjoying the
birth of their first grand-
daughter, Riley — born to
proud parents Ashley and
her husband Chris. The
family also looks forward
to the homecoming of
their son Marcus.

“You just feel like you’re outside, no matter where
you are in the house,” the homeowner reported.
The kitchen includes a professional Bosch five-
burner cook top, double ovens, dishwasher, built-in
refrigerator and microwave, and a veggie sink and
island. An Italian porcelain backsplash, embellished
with a brass medallion, completes the look.
Two full pantries offer ample storage for even the
largest collection of dishware and table linens.

window seat in this room,” she said of another
upstairs bedroom.
But it’s the master that may be the most beautiful
room in the house. A most private retreat, the mas-
ter bedroom entry begins with a dramatic view to
the lake and grounds, 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 ele-
phant-skin wall treatment — a name that doesn’t
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.

pills to speed results.
I know it’s tempting!
The ads make compelling
claims about the power of
popping a pill, but don’t
fall for it. There is no
“magic pill.” Diet pills are
more likely to burn
through your pocketbook
than to slim you down.
Tip: Don’t pop a pill —
instead burn calories
with intense exercise.
Myth No. 2: Do extra
crunches to flatten your
abs.
Excessive crunches
aren’t the answer. Focus
on burning off the layer of
fat that is covering up
your tummy.
Tip: Don’t obsess about
crunches — instead focus
on fat burning.
Myth No. 3: Turn to
packaged diet products to
boost results.
Don’t fall for the foods
that are packaged as
“diet” or “weight loss”
aids. Quite often these
products are packed with
refined sugar and other
artificial ingredients that
your body doesn’t need,
and certainly won’t help
tighten that tummy.
Tip: Stick with nutri-
tious whole foods.
Myth No. 4: Avoid all
carbohydrates in order to
achieve tight abs.
Carbohydrates have
been given a bad rap,
which is unfortunate
because you can (and
should) eat carbs while
slimming down. The key
is to stick with whole
grains, oatmeal and

Explore the fabulous highs and lows of Death Valley
BY SHERI HITCHINGS
GRANITE BAY VIEW
D
eath Valley is located in
the heart of the Mojave
Desert on the edge of
the Great Basin, Death Valley.
A vast arid desert, 120 miles
northwest of Las Vegas, it’s the
hottest, driest, lowest place in
North America. Its claim to
fame is its uniqueness, beauty,
wildflowers and history.
History
Its name came from gold
fever in 1849. Crossing the val-
ley to California, it was a death
trap. Later, outlaws discovered
silver in Surprise Canyon.
By 1874, it was a booming
mining town with 2,000 only to
be wiped out by a flash flood
two years later.
But it didn’t take away the
surprising Scotty’s Castle, a 25-
room unfinished fairytale
palace at the foot of Grapevine
Mountains, and you can still
tour it today.
Things not to miss
A trip to see wildflowers is
well worth it. Check with the
forest service for the time of
year they are in bloom, as the
weather does affect the area.
Recommended times are
mid-February to mid-April for
Jubilee Pass; early April to early
May in Panamint Mountains;
late April to early June for High
Panamints.

geography and history of
Death Valley. Guided tours are
provided fall through spring.

benefits of mining the borax for
which the valley is most
famous.
Places to Eat
Casual dining is available at
the Wrangler Buffet, Wrangler
Steakhouse and 49’er Café.
Other choices are the
Corkscrew Saloon and the 19th
Hole, which serves lunch and
has a veranda style bar.
Accommodations
Situated in a lush oasis in
Death Valley National Park, 4-
diamond Furnace Creek Resort
serves as a vantage point. It is
truly a unique, lush and enjoy-
able experience.
Staying there you feel like a
pampered king and queen in

May). Or you may prefer the

restaurants, dump stations,

make your stay enjoyable.
Things to do at the resort
There’s much to do, includ-
ing golf, playing tennis, swim-
ming in the beautiful pool, tak-
ing a guided trail ride into the
foothills of Funeral Mountains
or maybe you would just like to
sit back and be pampered with
a wonderful massage after a
hayride or carriage ride.
Explorations nearby
Enjoy the historic Opera
House, 30 miles from Furnace
Creek Resort.
If you want to see the lowest
place in the Western Hemi-
sphere (282 feet below sea lev-
el) and massive salt flats, visit
Badwater, just 17 miles from
the resort.
Why not take a hike? Paths
have been carved out by past
travelers who readily recom-
mend Harmony Borax Works
and Golden Canyon (one to
three mile trips). As they say,
“You can travel greater dis-
tances — but no place will take
you further away.”
