s I get older, I find it difficult recall words as easily as I used to. You know, the thing, has become a phrase I rely on far too frequently. Considering my struggles with the English language, I am utterly blown away by a Granite Bay residents ability to speak not only her native tongue but four foreign languages. Little Sophie Krsulic (who is also this months cover girl) has a passion for languages. How the 8year-old mastered so many verbs, words and pronunciations is a mystery to me. Check out her story on page 4 and find out how she wants to put her skills to use in the future.
And speaking of talent ...

languages along the way. This isnt a far stretch for Sophie Krsulic, who already speaks four foreign languages Mandarin, Spanish, Polish and Latin. Mandarin Chinese, thats my favorite, Sophie said. Its so hard. I like everything thats hard. She has studied the languages for the past two and a half years, and this summer enrolled in a Mandarin camp, Spanish camp and French camp, in addition to taking private Mandarin lessons. Sophie is very intelligent and has learned to speak, read and write Chinese more quickly than most students her age that I teach, said her Mandarin instructor Norton Eastment. Her pronunciation of Mandarin sounds and tones is already nearly that of a native speaker. Sophies list of future languages to learn includes American Sign Language and some

As long as I can remember, shes been almost obsessed with languages. Its pretty neat. I wish I could speak all those languages. Neither she nor Sophie can pinpoint exactly where the little girls interest came from, but mom said she didnt serve as the inspiration. I took Spanish in college. I can say bathroom and beer, Nancy Krsulic said. She showed a passion early on and she showed an aptitude. To accommodate their daughters passion, the Krsulics enrolled her in a homeschool program through South Sutter Charter School. Sophie will start fifth grade this fall.

Earlier this summer, Sophie participated in a Mandarin camp at Sierra Chinese School in Rocklin, which also teaches children about Chinese games and culture. For four weeks in July, the family hosted a 15-year-old teenager from Taiwan, where the national language is Mandarin. Nancy Krsulic had to remind her daughter not to speak too much Mandarin with the exchange student, who was in the United States to practice English. I want to live in China, Sophie said. I can eat Chinese food every day. In the meantime, shes reading R.L. Stines Goosebumps books in Spanish, and playing tennis, soccer and baseball other activities she enjoys. But language practice is her top priority.

Tim Slone, a chiropractic neurologist, runs the Rocklin center with his brother, Jim Slone. A franchise of the national company, Brain Balance is meeting the needs of kids who struggle with ADHD, ADD, Aspergers syndrome, Tourettes syndrome, autism and a host of learning issues. According to its own research, Brain Balance claims in a recent study of 60 ADHD kids that 82 percent of their parents no longer considered them to have ADHD after three months in the program. In the same study, 60 percent of the students improved their academic performance by two grade levels in three months, and 35 percent of students improved by four academic grade levels. While the program isnt medical, Brain Balance claims its highly effective. We look at the cause of why a kid has an issue with reading, for example. If you dont address development, you cant address function, Tim Slone said. We are looking at primitive reflexes, at sensory integration, at nutrition. Does the child get dizzy when he spins around? That helps us to know if one side is dominant. Does the child have any food sensitivities? There may be an amino acid or mineral deficiency.

the brain by enriching the weaker area not only changes the persons ability to think, process and maintain attention, but will also enhance things such as athletics and motor response. The motor system is a direct reflection of how the brain is functioning, Slone said. He added that while many parents are concerned about their childs behavior or academic issues, many families come in simply because

continued from page 9 their child isnt as motivated as he or she could be. Unfortunately, a lot of these kids will be labeled as lazy, or non-goal oriented, Slone said. I would recommend that these parents sit through a workshop to see if their child might have a problem. Thats exactly what mom Danielle Mitchell did when her son, Andrew, had difficulty learning. He was diagnosed with ADD and he couldnt focus, Mitchell said. He was hyperactive and had trouble completing a task. He was having a really hard time academically. Mitchell is no stranger to kids and learning. A home-school mom, she has taught all seven of her kids, but said she had never experienced difficulty teaching until working with 7year-old Andrew. I tried every method that I possibly could, Mitchell said. He just couldnt slow his mind down, couldnt retain anything. Doctor (Tim) Slone assessed Andrew, and gave him a blood test to see what his sensitivities were. Slone developed a personal plan to deal with Andrews right-side defect. Andrew does computer work, along with vision exercises and movements that stimulate the underdeveloped parts of his brain, Mitchell said. Today, after only a couple of months working with Brain Balance, Andrew has been taken off his ADD medication, and couldnt be happier. Before the program, he would struggle to write a sentence. He had issues processing and couldnt understand what he had read. Hes writing all his sentences now, and his reading comprehension is way up, Mitchell said. Its like hes a different kid, and Im really looking forward to starting his home schooling again in the fall. Kelly OHarren, mom of 9year-old Nolan, had a similar

upper-end of fourth-grade level. And theres so much more to it than mere academics. Theyre finding parts of the brain that arent firing, and they are finding ways to stimulate them. Like Mitchell, OHarren is excited for her son to attend school in the fall. We had attended teacher conferences teachers wanted him to be evaluated for ADD, they hinted that medication might be the answer. But we didnt want to go that route, OHarren said. Nolan attends the center for one hour, three days a week, and a typical program is threemonths long, with an evaluation at that time. But the first step is contacting the center to learn more.

Couple creates personable care home for the elderly

Home-cooked Italian meals, quaint dcor part of charm at Lakeside Manor
BY TINKA DAVI
n unfortunate experience in Joe and Mary Brunos life prompted them to completely change their lifestyle and provide a pleasant place for three elderly women with special health needs. As he tells the backstory, Joe Bruno points to his Uncle Frank Tomasonis military mementos from World War II. Theyre framed and displayed prominently on the family room wall. My uncle was like a second dad, Joe said. When he developed lung cancer, we found him a residential care facility for the elderly in the Bay Area, but it was god-awful. They fed him chicken feet with rice and gravy for breakfast. Uncle Frank stayed alone in his room for days and would call, crying, Joe said. After going through that with our uncle, we decided that when our son went off to college, we would turn our house into a care facility, he said. Joe, 55, and Mary, 53, opened Lakeland Manor in Granite Bay last year. Were an alternative to someone being just another person in a nursing home of 50-100 people, Joe said. We keep it nice and small with a homey atmosphere. Its home to Mavis, 87, who is snoozing in front of the TV; Leona, 91, who prefers to stay in her room all the time; and Irene, 92, who waves at a visitor, then looks back at her hands that hold a small black and white photograph of her mother. Every day she asks to go home. Mavis and Irene have dementia and cant live on their own; neither can Leona, who

broke her hip. We keep them as occupied as possible, Joe said. We have 220 TV channels, but the three women prefer Hallmark and westerns. They also have card games and puzzles. The couple provides plenty of TLC, comfort and conversation. Their focus and that of a helper/caregiver, Michelle, is obviously on the three women. They bend down or sit next to the women, listen carefully and reply softly. Belle, a friendly 6-year-old Maltese, likes to sit in their laps. Joe Bruno understands what its like to be seriously ill. In 1989, at age 34, his neck started

swelling. The doctor said it was cancer, and Joe underwent chemotherapy and radiation. Four years later, he had a heart attack and triple bypass. In 2000, he had surgery to insert two stents to open his arteries. I know what its like not to feel good, he said. Mary learned to be a caretak-
er when she quit her job as an executive secretary to care for Joe. Turning their home into a care facility was not easy.

required remodeling for wheelchair access. The wooden ramp leading to their front door has a 1-inch drop for every 12 inches, a flat landing every 30 feet and a 5- to 6-foot area for turning around. Several plants in front of their house were removed to accommodate the ramp. A second required exit is via another smaller ramp, which runs from the back door and along the rear of their home. Hard-wired smoke alarms are installed in every room; the outside house numbers are lighted so emergency vehicles can find the home; the bathrooms have grab bars and each

continued from page 12 exit door has an alarm. People with dementia have a tendency to wander, Mary explained. Mary must take 40 hours of continuing education every two years and has applied for hospice waiver, which means residents can stay as long as necessary at Lakeland Manor. Joe prepares home-cooked, Italian-style dinners, following his grandmothers recipes for specialties such as chicken marsala and fettuccine alfredo. Breakfasts are prepared to order, according to what each woman prefers. Lakeland Manor is licensed for six men and women, but Mary likes keeping it smaller with just three people, one per bedroom. Residents, including the elderly and people who need short-term care after accidents, are referred by agencies who work with local hospitals. The cost per month depends on

The rooms are decorated with artwork, matching curtains and bedspreads and personalized with the residents stuffed animals. The Brunos sleep on a sofa bed in the living room. The couple must follow strict regulations in providing care. They can dispense medication, but each resident must pick it up and put it in her mouth. A diabetic must be able to give his or her own insulin
shots. Family members or the Brunos take residents for appointments or outings. Speech, walk and physical therapists visit regularly. Leonas family stops by every afternoon; the others also have visitors. Joe and Mary grew up six blocks from each other in San Francisco, attended high school together and married in 1976. He worked for AT&T for 30 years in the Bay Area and Sacramento. Mary worked for an insurance company and then as a teachers aide. They chose Granite Bay because they wanted a country setting close to a grocery store. Lakeland Manor is just off Douglas Boulevard on the way to the Granite Bay entrance to Folsom Lake. Its a pleasant, quiet place to spend the later years with special care.

Bowler spins folktales into childrens books

She stopped teaching around 13 years ago and began her career as a writer for a local magazine. I was in every issue for two years, Bowler said. You see your name in print, you know youre a writer.

an adoptive mom. Bowler and her husband John have five children: birth children John (nicknamed Jocean or Jo), 35; Francis, 32; and Nicole, 22. They adopted two Korean babies Sarah is now 19, and Jake 13.
At this time Bowler has 14 published books including textbooks for primary grades, and has plans for more. She has particular affection for Asian topics in her picture books. Her first picture book, Geckos Complaint, arose out of her interest in Indonesia. Son Jo was a foreign exchange student there and eventually married an Indonesian. Bowler visited and was fascinated by the culture.
I was just so struck by all the folktales they have and how they told all these stories and all their art, and Im like, oh my gosh, no one knows anything about this place, Bowler said. She brought home a stack of folktales and retold a couple in what would become Geckos Complaint. She then returned to Indonesia and, with the help of her son, began the process of finding a Balinese-Indonesian illustrator.

was put on Taiwans most prestigious book list

continued from page 16 We walked and walked and walked for three days, Bowler said. They were getting tired of tramping around, finding galleries and searching among the artists who seemed to be everywhere. Finally, the porter at their hotel brought a drawing from a friend who was an illustrator. It was exactly what Bowler had in mind. We went out to the countryside the next day and talked to Gusti (full name I Gusti Made Sukanada) and had tea on his little porch, Bowler said. Hes a very poor, very humble man, but a very good artist, I think. We sat and had tea and cookies on his porch and worked out an agreement. Her next book, Adventures of the Treasure Fleet, was based on a real voyage more than 600 years ago by Chinese
BOWLER: Adventures of the Treasure Fleet

The thing that attracted me to Annies work boils down to her enthusiasm,

Admiral Zheng. Bowler was able to obtain translated copies of authentic journals written on board the ship. Zheng led more than 300 ships across the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean, all the way to Africa, to bring treasures home to China. The book was placed on Taiwans Good Book List in 2009, which is the most prestigious award a childrens book can receive in Taiwan. Her most recent book, All About Korea, came out in April of this year. Bowler had help from Sarah and Jake on this. The two had attended Friends of Korea school, which met
once a week on Sundays. Each also has traveled to Korea and learned firsthand about the country. I made examples of the craft activities that ended up in the book, said Jake Bowler, who will be going into the 8th grade. My sister Sarah helped my mom to create the recipes in the book. It was fun to help my mom with all of this. Im glad my mom wrote the book because it made us more involved with the Korean culture. Tuttle Publishing, an international publisher with an office in Vermont, has published all three of Bowlers picture books. The thing that attracted me to Annies work boils down to her enthusiasm, Tuttle Editor Sandra Korinchak said. Were very excited and thrilled about the book (All About Korea). Its been getting some nice comments so far.

Thompson inspired to achieve

BY MARY CLARK
ancy Thompson, Director of Recruitment for Drexels Sacramento Center for Graduate Studies, didnt have to look far for one of her first recruits. Shortly after garnering the position of recruitment director, Thompson enrolled herself in one of Drexels many masters programs. A Bay Area native, Thompson has lived in Granite Bay with her husband and high school sweetheart, Jeff, and their three children for 21 years. On Saturday, June 25, Nancy Thompson graduated from Drexel along with more than 100 other students at the Crocker Museum at Drexels first ever commencement ceremony in Sacramento. Now, having received her degree and recruited 424 students simultaneously, she will return to Drexel to continue inspiring and encouraging students like her.
COURTESY
Nancy Thompson, director of recruitment for Drexels Center for Graduate Studies, recently received her masters in education from Drexel.
3. Tell us about the significance of Drexels first commencement in Sacramento at the Crocker Museum.
1. What made you decide to enroll as a student at Drexel?
Drexel had the program which fit my interests, education with a business approach. Plus, I was encouraged by one of my own recruits! Sitting across from my desk I mentioned I was considering the program myself. With a bit encouragement I went for it and now two years later, hurray, I am done.
2. What did you receive your masters degree in?
This was the first time in Drexels 120-year history that a commencement ceremony was held outside of Philadelphia. More than 100 students from five different colleges and schools received their diplomas. It was a very special celebration with more than 700 family, friends, faculty and staff attending. I was especially blessed to have my family and my 89-year-old father travel to Sacramento to join in the celebration.
4. How does your role as a student help you with your job?
my job. I like to think I am more strategic and creative in my approach to solving problems. During much of the program, discussion in class and assignments, we focused on the California higher education predicament. We discussed how we got where we are and what practical solutions need to be put in place to fix it.
5. What is your favorite part of your job?
Masters in higher education.
Ive worked in higher education for more than 15 years, but in every class I was given new tools and knowledge for
My favorite part is being able to encourage people to pursue their dreams. Ive met so many wonderful, smart individuals who because of the new knowledge they have acquired through their graduate work are making an important impact in the Sacramento region. At the end of the day, for me, it is all about how I can make a positive lasting impression in the lives of others.

Granite Bay mom trains for world-class triathlon

Gina Anixter aiming for Ironman competition being held in Arizona
BY SARA SEYYDIN
GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE
Gina Anixter of Granite Bay is training for the Ford Ironman Triathlon to be held in Tempe, Ariz., Nov. 20. The triathlon combines a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2mile run.
What inspired you to take on Ironman?
Ive been training for triathlons for eight or nine years. I just started with the sprint triathlons. Over the years I have just increased the number of or length of them. I decided I would take on the challenge of Ironman, which is in November. It is a huge commitment and I am not really a long distance athlete, but over time have just decided to take on a bigger challenge. With the outcome of the last few half ironmans it inspired me to just try and go for it. I have a couple of friends that have completed Ironman I train with. Its fun because we all have that long-term goal in mind. It was inspiring to see them come across the finish line.
What is your training schedule like?
string. What I do now in training is I try to eat real food fresh fruits and vegetables. I try to stay away from refined Gina Anixter sugars and flour. Generally before a training Im more of a fan of oatmeal. I use Hammer products. I generally eat balanced meals every three to four hours throughout the day. Ill do four rides over a hundred miles, three 20-mile runs and about an hour and a half of swimming. That gets you the feeling of being on your feet that long. The big thing is planning ahead. Having a plan and executing the plan gives you a sense of accomplishment even if its not a race. Im going to do a couple half ironmans and an Olympic distance race. I have three or four races before Ironman.
What are your goals for the race?
PHOTOS BY PHILIP WOOD GRANITE BAY VIEW
I havent quite decided. I hope to go under 13 hours.

What is the most challenging aspect for you?
Gina Anixter, 44, of Granite Bay, rides her bike in training for the Ironman Triathlon to be held in Tempe, Ariz., in November.
FYI
For more information on Anixters triathlon coaching, e-mail gina@gothe distancerun.com.
There is about eight months worth of training. Im training about 15 hours a week and I work full-time and I have two kids. I wake up around 4:30 every morning. I train most days twice a day. I swim, bike and run. I teach cycle for Johnson Ranch. I bike four days a week, and swim four days a week and run five days a week. Then there is the acupuncture I have to do. I was injured prior to starting. I have an injury to my ham-
The time spent away from my family as my long rides and my runs get longer. Working full time and having two kids and a husband, its hard to juggle it all. That means more hours on my bike, also just to keep my body healthy. Ill be 45, so with that comes the risk of being injured. For me, because of my injury, running is probably the most painful. My pace is a little bit off with my injury. That is probably what I kind of look forward to least.
How do you get through walls or tough moments?
know how good its going to feel when I am finished. I also have a lot of great friends that I train with. We can use each other to sort of get motivated to finish a workout. I just actually got certified to become a coach, a triathlon coach. I motivate them as much as they motivate me. You have to be up for them too.
Reach Sara Seyydin at saras@goldcountrymedia.com.

Frankly, it was my turn.

The work that Dr. Binon did for me was significantly more than just giving me a bright confident smile. But, the smile is what I value most. Youll understand when I say that it was finally my turn to take care of my teeth. What a marvelous experience and the outcome could not be better. I love to smile and eat everything that I like.

Java faithful make pilgrimage to Jericho

BY MICHELLE CARL
GRANITE BAY VIEW EDITOR
Coffeehouse has holy trinity of live music, great coffee and atmosphere
heres no shortage of people who have a religion-like devotion to coffee. Where Jericho Coffee has succeeded is in creating a place where you can be comfortable with your faith (while also worshipping your false idol the coffee bean). Owners Franc and Sheri Woods opened the Christianthemed coffeehouse in 2005. The Fish 103.9 is often playing in the background and there are loads of Christian books for sale, but Jericho isnt about winning souls. Im not the kind of person to get in peoples face about faith, Franc Woods said. The environment can do the work. People can see hey, its OK to talk about (faith) and not feel threatened about it. I figured if we created the environment, God will do the work. With comfy couches, soothing water feature and glow of the electric fireplace, its the perfect spot to chat with a pal or do a little soul searching. And people do hold devotional meetings at the shop on Sierra College Boulevard. Franc (pronounced France its short for Francis) worked at Hewlett Packard for 25 years and had always kicked around the idea of having a place like Jericho. Something music-oriented with books a place to relax. I needed something different than a cubical. I needed to be out with people, he said. I kind of had this feeling if I dont try this, someday I might say hey, I should have tried it at least. So the couple attended a coffee trade show, Coffee Fest, and took out a second mortgage on

their home. Both Franc and Sheri also got jobs at Starbucks, to see if they really wanted to do the whole barrista thing. While at Coffee Fest, they found their bean provider Fox Hallow Coffee, a microroaster out of Washington state. The beans are put to good use at Jericho, where youll find all your standard coffee drinks along with some fun surprises. One standout is the Cinnamon Bliss Latte, an awakening mix of spice and sweetness that is truly heavenly. And it didnt make me jittery something Franc attributes to the quality of Fox

Theres also a good assortment of fare if youre a little more hungry. The chicken salad (Sheris recipe) is a tasty mixture of cranberries, apple, celery and cashews that can be served on a croissant, wrap or bread.

tomers. Cindy Harkness, 34, of Orangevale, has been coming to Jericho for the last year and a half. Its a warm, inviting atmosphere and people are friendly. Franc is great, she said. Its not your typical coffee shop. She recommends the Jericho German Chocolate Cake a decadent blend of Ghirardelli Dark & White Chocolate, espresso, coconut and hazelnut. But a big part of why I come here is the music on Friday and Saturday
nights, she said. She occasionally plays guitar at the open mics held once a month, which she said are packed with talented local performers. I think theres a lack of places in the area to do that kind of thing, said Woods, who also plays guitar in a praise band. Theres talent in the area that doesnt have a venue to (play in). On a recent Saturday, a handful of what looked like regulars assembled to watch musicians Bart Vogel, John Freeman and
Robert Greene play acoustic guitar on the patio. Patrons sipped their iced coffees and listened intently to the musicians folksy tunes as the setting sun cast a glow on the oak tree that sits outside Jericho. Yes, some of the songs were about Him with a capital H but no one was asking you to accept Jesus into your life. About the only conversion you will have at Jericho is a new belief in this alternative coffeehouse experience.

His most unlikely role documentary film maker is now drawing national attention to his cause. Soto is aiming to raise $250,000 for Wounded Warriors, a non-profit organization that benefits wounded military personnel and their families. A high school football extrava-

Soto is the father of Corporal Joshua in the Marines and Sergeant Benjamin in the Army. His son-in-law Nick Brown is a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marines. Soto agreed to take the reins of Battle at the Capital this year with the promise that all proceeds from the event would go to Wounded Warriors. The man with a constant smile and boundless energy is doing his part to make the event an unprecedented success. I love it. I feel like Im giving something back, Soto said.

Discover Carson Citys small-town charm

BY JEFFREY WEIDEL
ooking for a weekend getaway or vacation locale that offers a variety of family activities and provides some unique historical places to explore as well? Consider a trip to Carson City. Typically overshadowed by Reno and the heralded Lake Tahoe region, the small-town charm of Carson City can quickly enamor first-time visitors. Situated in Nevadas picturesque high desert (4,600 foot elevation), south of Reno off the Highway 395 corridor, and less than a half hour from South Lake Tahoe, Carson City is carving out its own niche as a very affordable vacation spot for both families and couples. A lengthy list of activities awaits tourists this time of year in Carson City, which ranks among the smallest capitol cities in the United States. One cool option is whitewater kayaking or rafting down the Carson River with the high desert scenery providing a gorgeous backdrop. The citys water trails are meant for novice, but experts can locate some challenging stretches as well. If water is not your thing, there are many other recreational choices to consider, including: numerous hiking and biking trails; variety of fishing locations; horseback riding (with a moonlight option); and nine golf courses that accommodate all skill levels. In winter months, skiing is a mere 35 minutes away at Heavenly and Mount Rose ski resorts. Add one more item to the activity list gambling. There are 10 casinos to test your gaming skills.

American author and humorist Mark Twain spent three years (1861-64) in Carson City and nearby Virginia City. Back then locals probably knew him as Samuel Clemens he was among the many who were trying to gain riches through gold and silver mining. There are plenty of stories circulating around town about Twain and also some quirky tales regarding Carson Citys famed ghosts. The stories have become so popular that evening walking tours are provided, ushering groups of people around the quaint city streets where some colorful tales are told of ghosts inhabiting homes, including the Governors Mansion. Young or old, any visitor shouldnt depart Carson City without taking in some of the interesting local historical spots. Below are a few options. became instant millionaires. Many people walk around in 1860s-period dress, one of the many eye-appealing facets while taking a stroll down the boarded sidewalks of its main street. For history buffs, there are 150-year-old churches, 19th century mansions, and various museums. Take the kids through the old Fourth Ward School and have them sit in an old school desk and learn how strict a classroom was run in this authentically preserved 1876 Victorian school building. And adults must visit at least a couple of the Old West saloons, where some tall tales are revealed through memorabilia.

Taking this vintage steam and diesel-powered train on the 16-mile mining route that starts at Carson City and concludes in historic Virginia City should be high on the priority list. Stories of the somewhat raucous silver era are revealed on the trek that passes through two tunnels, and features views of abandoned mine shafts, old cemeteries, and perhaps a bald eagle or other wildlife sightings.

Visit Versailles in this luxurious Las Lagos estate

HOT PROPERTY
Where: 9305 Los Lagos Circle, Granite Bay Size: Five bedroom, five bath. 5,220 square feet Price: $1,249,000 Contact: Kendra Bishop, the Bishop Real Estate Group, (916) 458-5488
BY EILEEN WILSON
Home features European gardens and impressive architecture

ormality meets family friendly in this fine Los Lagos estate. Its obvious when visitors arrive that 9305 Los Lagos Circle is something special. Large magnolias and a drive-through car park on a large corner lot make the home and its perfect location a Los Lagos standout. Balustrades and columns add to the drama of the homes entry, as do the double entry doors, gleaming with brilliant facets of glass. With front-facing balconies that overlook the drive, its easy to imagine the home as Juliets balcony, or to picture a bride posing for photos aloft. But if the front yard intrigues, the backyard will stun.
DALE CHARLES COMPAGO.NET
While this estate has all of the Los Lagos formality, there are family-friendly touches as well.
A formal pool, large with scalloped ends the just-right size for swimming laps is the centerpiece of a formal European garden. I was trying to create a miniaturized Versailles, the homeowner said. His attempt was successful. A border of hedgerows, thoughtfully planned lawn areas and perfectly placed rose bushes create a landscape that will transport visitors across the pond perhaps to the Palace of Versailles Orangerie or Hampton Court Palace gardens. With all its formality, the backyard has plenty of functionality, too.
Plums, peaches, pomegranate, pluots and yearround lemon trees are just some of the delectable edibles that can be found on the property. A raised vegetable garden produces a variety of delicious bounty as well. But what good is tasty food without a great kitchen in which to prepare it? This homes kitchen is a brilliant example of pairing formality with casual comfort. The great-room style kitchen, which opens to a large family room, was designed with an entertaining lifestyle in mind. We designed the kitchen this way because we wanted to have space for two or three people

This is truly the focal point of the home, the homeowner said. The sellers, who are the original owners, routinely entertain 50 or more family members and friends during the holidays. The kitchen is filled with professional-grade appliances with names like Dacor and Bosch. Double ovens, built-in microwave, dishwasher, trash compactor, built-in refrigerator, double sinks, wet island and oversized pantry are key for every dream kitchen. As functional as the home is, its the beauty

From the dining rooms trey ceiling, dressed in bronzes and golds, to the living rooms doublesided fireplace that leads to a formal office or library, filled with Brazilian cherry cabinetry and built-in computer center, the homes builder paid attention to the smallest detail. But the drama wasnt saved for the downstairs. A sweeping staircase leads visitors to the brilliantly lit upper level where guest suites and the master bedroom await. Large enough to contain both oversized bed and a living room, the master also includes a million-dollar view to the grounds beyond. Soothing splashes from the pools waterfalls waft to upstairs windows a relaxing music that buyers can fall asleep to. The master bath includes double vanities, jetted tub with view, double-headed shower and a water closet that includes a bidet, while the vanity area also includes a separate makeup mirror and counter all with luscious granite tops and opulent gold fixtures. The master closet is large enough to accommodate any wardrobe, and includes substantial hanging space, shelving and shoe racks. But it may come back to the yard when it comes to falling in love with this house.

Fran Dixon, of Ellington Properties, shows a client the backyard of a $2.3 million, five bedroom home in Granite Bay.
Is the luxury home market anything like on TV?

Not really, say Granite Bay Realtors who just want whats best for clients
BY EILEEN WILSON
t was the best of jobs, it was the worst of jobs. High-end real estate specialists spend their days perusing some of Placer Countys most luxurious properties. What could be more fun, right? If you follow Bravo TVs Million Dollar Listing and HGTVs Selling New York listing million-dollar-plus homes can be fraught with hazards. Buyers insisting on an agent picking them up at the airport, clients demanding furnishings or even cars and clothing be included in the deal and
intense competition with other Realtors. But is reality television Granite Bays reality? Not necessarily, according to some of Granite Bays biggest names in real estate. It just depends on the client, as a person, said Granite Bay Properties Eve Fenstermaker. Personalities are personalities, no matter what size a home someone is looking for. Fenstermaker gives the same professional advice: have a professional stage your home when you put it on the market, no matter the homes square footage or selling price.
Im seeing a stable market; and in the last few months, Ive never been busier. Granite Bay is ultimately, the best place to raise a family, and the luxury market here is still really strong.
Valisa Schmidley, Keller Williams Luxury Homes agent
And Granite Bay does offer some of the priciest homes in the region.
From June 2010 through May of this year, 35 homes have sold for over $1 million. From just under 4,000 square feet, to over 16,000, and from four bedrooms to whopping eight bedroom homes, million-dollar properties in Granite Bay arent going away anytime soon. Take a look at the current market. As of mid June, there were 40 properties listed for a million dollars or more, with 14 of those properties currently in escrow. According to Keller Williams Luxury Homes agent Valisa Schmidley, there are plenty of buyers for this market, and lit-
tle inventory. So many sellers are reticent to put their homes on the market, thinking they couldnt get a good price for their home, Schmidley said. But Im seeing a stable market; and in the last few months, Ive never been busier. Granite Bay is ultimately, the best place to raise a family, and the luxury market here is still really strong. Fran Dixon with Ellington Properties agrees. We have great neighborhoods in a great community, at a great price, he said. This is the best time to buy that I have

continued from page 42 ever seen. But when it comes to high-end haughtiness and millionaire meanness, the Million Dollar Listing reality show is mostly myth, at least when it comes to Granite Bays pricey real estate. I dont do anything different for the ultra high-end client than I would do for a $300,000 buyer, Schmidley said.
This $2.3 million 6,000-square-foot Tuscan-style home in Granite Bay is lavishly spacious on the inside and has a wonderful landscaped backyard with a pool.
If the $300,000 buyer has a teenager that is nervous about the local high school, Ill take him and his family to tour the campus. I recently had the pleasure of introducing a teen and his parents to Granite Bay High Schools principal. Im glad to do that for my clients, and the purchase price of the homes they are looking at is irrelevant. Fenstermaker agrees. I would do the same things
with a modestly priced home, like staging, or offer the same services to a client, regardless of the cost of the home they were looking for. The key is getting to know your client, and really knowing what they want, even if they might not know, themselves. While television shows might feature buyers who demand everything, including the $100,000 car in the garage to be included in the homes

purchase price, Granite Bay buyers tend to be polite in their requests. Buyers have a tendency to want to write more furnishings or personal property in the contract now, than in the past, Schmidley said. They see an opportunity and oftentimes the homeowner is downsizing so they can come to terms. Fenstermaker agrees that buyers sometimes ask for items to be left in the home that sellers werent planning to leave behind.
People can want curtains, refrigerators, play structures and even furniture, she said. I encourage clients to make an offer on the home, not on the things. Fenstermaker said there is a certain image that should be maintained when working with any client in the real estate market, high-end or otherwise. I dont like to put lock boxes on homes I typically show them by appointment only, she

said. In addition, professionalism is important. You have to show yourself as a professional. Dress for success and drive a well-kept car, Fenstermaker said.
While the Million Dollar Listing program had an entire show devoted to the cut throat business of obtaining listings, Schmidley said she doesnt find the industry cut
throat at all. I dont feel that area Realtors are in competition. People seem to select their real-estate specialist for a reason, and there are enough
houses for everyone, she said. I have the utmost respect for my colleagues, and the way I see it, houses come and go, but my colleagues and clients are here forever. At the end of the day, Realtors simply want whats best for their clients. We just make sure the home shows at its very best, and make the client comfortable, Schmidley said. Its almost better if the Realtor stays in the background as much as possible.

Grill your way lean this summer with these tips G

rilling is the most popular pastime of summer. While outdoor cookouts are a great opportunity to relax and visit with friends and family, did you know that the average barbecue meal exceeds 1,500 calories? Thats almost an entire days worth of calories in one meal. That type of eating will do some serious damage to your waist over the course of the summer. The good news is that barbecue season doesnt have to be fattening. In fact, with a few small changes to your barbecue menu, you can turn summer into the perfect opportunity for weight loss. On the Grill: Believe it or not, grilling is actually a very healthy way to cook meat. Of course the type of meat that you choose will make all of the

GRILLED BOK CHOY

Bok choy is packed with vitamins A, C and K, as well as beta carotene. Servings: 6 Ingredients: 2 pounds bok choy 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt 1/8 teaspoon paprika 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon seasoned salt Directions: Preheat grill and lightly oil the grate. In a small bowl combine the oil and seasonings. Mix well. Slice the bottom off the head of bok choy, wash each stem. Lay bok choy on prepared grill. Brush with the seasoned oil mixture. Cover grill and cook until stems show grill marks, about 4 minutes. Turn the bok choy, brush with more seasoned oil mixture and grill the other side. Transfer to platter and serve.

difference. Burgers and hot dogs are traditional barbecue meats, but they arent the healthiest. Try the following: Choose lean cuts of beef, pork or poultry Marinade with low fat dressing Make hamburgers with extra-lean ground beef Take the skin off chicken before grilling Replace beef patties with ground turkey patties Grill up salmon or cod Side Dishes: This is where most people run into trouble. Barbecue side dishes are typi-
cally filled with loads of fat. Creamy coleslaw and potato salads can hold as much as 15 grams of fat per serving. Try the following instead: Make veggie kabobs and grill them Grill bok choy (see recipe) Replace the mayo in your salads with low-fat mayo Serve fresh salad with light vinaigrette Try whole-grain macaroni for your pasta salad Put out a veggie tray with low fat dip Drinks: Most people dont realize that beverages play a big role in summer weight gain. Margaritas, beer, soda pop and punch all contain lots of empty calories. Try the following: Drink water, it is always your healthiest option Stick with light beer wine with soda water
If you have to have a soda pop stick with diet (no aspartame) Brew unsweetened ice tea and serve with lemon Dessert: Yes, there are ways to satisfy your sweet tooth while getting lean. Think outside of the box instead of turning to the typical fattening options like ice cream, pie, cake or cookies. Try the following: Grill mango, banana and pineapple on kabobs Stick with sorbet or yogurt instead of ice cream Replace peach pie with grilled peach halves Remember, its OK to splurge every once in a while. Try to limit foods that have no nutritional value. Just keep in mind that by taking a few of the above suggestions you can enjoy great food while getting back into great shape.

chool is right around the corner. Before you know it your child will be bouncing home from school wanting your help. Parents were always asking me as a teacher or principal what they could do to help their child learn. One of the most important things is good communication. So, be sure your questions are up to par if your goal is to help your child think and learn.
Learning through questioning, thinking

Sheri Hitchings You and Your Kids
Questions induce thinking

To get a child to think, dont be guilty of always parroting out information, not including the child in the process. Learning is participating, a time for sharing of information. When helping, reduce questions that are asking for just plain old facts. Replace them with questions that promote skills to be more elaborative and reflective, Who, what, when and why questions are regularly used, but questions which involve the brain actively, are How? What else? In what way are they alike/different? Prompt your child to think and learn.
Avoid questions which invariably cause a yes or no answer. Try to limit questions that start with do, did, could, can, will, would, is, should and are ... I didnt say it would be easy, but if you think about it, these questions all call for a yes or no answer.
Probing promotes thinking
Probing is asking a series of questions, like Do you mean ? Could you clarify for me? How do you know that? Unless the child is exposed to this kind of questioning, he will probably not ask further questions, which would promote helping him understand. Not too many children have assimilated these skills.
INTRODUCTORY COURSE ONLY $14.95
Match your question with the purpose

If you find yourself asking a question and receiving back a yes or no response most of the time, its not surprising. However, these questions dont help your child think, so the brain gets no stimulation. For clarity, to learn what a person is talking about, as adults, we are more likely to probe.
Extending learning through thinking skills

To extend thinking, avoid questions which invariably cause a yes or no answer. Try to limit questions that start with do, did, could, can, will, would, is, should and are. OK, I didnt say it would

be easy, but if you think about it, these questions all call for a yes or no answer. When I first learned about this, I put a chart up to remind myself not to use these words as much as possible. It really made me aware of how much I had been using them. But, I found it wasnt too difficult to change my habit when I knew it would enhance thinking skills.
For your child to get it you need to model it by verbalizing what happens in your own head when you are thinking.
as a lesson for your child. Make it a game. Say you arent going to use the above words to start a question, and have your child tell you if he hears you say the word. Catch him when he asks a question with one of the words. Make a list of words that make you think more, like: Which one of the following choices is best? Why? or How much more will I need for ?
Develop questions
Use these examples to promote thinking: Why do you think___? In which ways are ___ and ___ alike/different? Ask, Which of these choices is best? Why? How is ___ possible? Comparing things: How is ____ better?

Avoid evaluative comments

Be supportive by avoiding evaluative comments after responses. Say nothing or just wait three seconds. We call it think time, an effective parenting skill. Follow up with a compliment, such as You are really thinking! Im so proud of your skills!

Modeling
For your child to get it you need to model it by verbalizing what happens in your own head when you are thinking. Be supportive because sometimes, thinking is hard. Remember a time when you really worked hard at solving a problem. Use it
