Christmas splendor
Retail decorators explain what it takes to turn their stores into winter wonderlands.
t was a foggy Christmas night a few years ago. My husband David and I had just spent a long Christmas Eve at my parents house in Orangevale, as has become the tradition now that I split the holiday with both sides of my family. Our trunk full of freshly opened gifts, we made our way back home along East Roseville Parkway while listening to Christmas songs on the radio. We were talking excitedly, looking forward to Christmas morning and another day that would be spent with family when, out of the dark and hazy sky, what should appear but a tiny red dot, hovering above the rooftops. What is that? I pondered aloud.
The time I believed in Santa

Michelle Carl Editor
It was too low to be a plane and it wasnt blinking, like a plane would. It was hovering strangely, seeming to keep pace with our car as we traveled along the surface streets. Then it became clear. The only possible explanation for this unidentified flying object of course! It had to be Santa Claus. David and I looked at each other and instantly became 6-year-olds, mouths agape and eyes wide with the realization
that we were watching Santa as he made his stops at childrens homes that Christmas Eve. David tried to keep his eyes on the road as I glued mine to the red dot in the sky. Eventually, however, the dot landed on the roof of Sutter Roseville Medical Center. It was probably someone in dire need of medical attention, and I pray they got it that night. But for several minutes, David and I truly believed. I hope you find something that turns you into a kid again this Christmas. Happy holidays!

2. The Doggie Bag: You put cookies out for Santa, but what about some baked delights for your
pooch? In cute shapes such as Santa and Christmas trees, these treats certainly look like sugar cookies (but you may be surprised by the chicken flavor if you sneaked a little nibble). The traveling pet owner may appreciate the Snoozer brand rolling dog carryall that serves as a backpack, car seat and bed for the doggie-on-the-go. The store also carries a plethora of breed-specific merchandise and ornaments for the dog lover on your list. 6881 Douglas Blvd., Granite Bay (Raleys center). (916) 786-9663.

RETAIL: Planning begins in January

continued from page 9 transformations dont happen overnight. It literally starts in January we go to markets, we take photos and we start to plan our looks, said Ann Garrett, Pottery Worlds store manager, buyer, designer, and member of the family that began the business decades ago. We start putting up holiday decorations beginning in September it takes a few months to get it all up before our open house, which is the second Saturday in November. Bushnell creates their Christmas Shoppe by closing the store for an entire week. We decorate night and day, said staff member Itzel Oros. What started years ago as something really simple, has turned into something really exquisite. If youve never visited the shops in December, put these two venues on your to-do list and make an afternoon of it. Granite Bay resident Nancy Silva-Sutton starts her holidays with a stop at her winter favorite. I visit Pottery World with a
friend each year around Veterans Day to get inspiration for my holiday decorations, she said. Some of my best holiday displays have come from Pottery World both the ideas and the decorations. Visiting the store is a tradition for many a tradition that often includes lunch or a decadent dessert in Pottery Worlds caf, which serves lunch daily, breakfast on weekends, and high tea the first and third Thursday of each month. But its the grandeur the elegance and decadence, not to mention the anticipation of what each new holiday season will bring that keeps regulars coming back to both stores year after year. Past years at Pottery World have included densely forested rooms, complete with brown bears and other elements from nature, and a snow-filled room with polar animals and shimmering crystal icicles. This years favorite holiday scene might be the room that Garrett calls Twas the Night, a room thats a toy-filled wonderland. Another favorite is the

According to Ann Garrett, interior designer with Pottery World in Rocklin, upside-down Christmas trees allow for optimal ornament display.
DECOR: Tinsel, glitter are must haves this year

continued from page 12 area Garrett calls Celebrate, a space that offers black, white and silver ornaments that shimmer like diamonds. This look, for me, was inspired by fashion. Youre usually adding sparkle this time of year. Because we have a clothing boutique, I wanted to surround mannequins by all these dazzling jewels, Garrett said. Every display evokes different emotions. The products themselves have inspired me, and also hearing peoples feedback each year. Shoppers say they want to go home and bring out their holiday things to create something nice for their families. Must-have holiday items this year include tinsel an update on an old favorite that Garrett says can dress up a tree, or be used in holiday arrangements of any kind to add a special shimmer. Additional favorites include the stores glittering variety of crystal strands, and Bushnells use of large flower pieces, like hydrangea, as ornamentation. Garrett also loves the upside down Christmas trees that she says can really showcase the ornaments, which just drip off the branches. The upside down tree is also perfect for small spaces, and can more easily accommodate holiday gifts. For a showpiece tree, Garrett recommends using a handful of oversized ornaments, tucked in the interior of branches to give the tree depth. We actually wire ornaments on to inside branches a lot of people use several small ornaments, but you should use large ornaments as well, if youre looking for drama, she said. Garrett also recommends tinsel on the tree. It has been our mostpurchased item so far this year, she said.

Block party: Granite Bay teen collects Legos for needy kids

HOW TO HELP
Have some Legos or new Ziploc bags to donate? Email donate@brickdreams.com or visit www.brickdreams.com.
Bailey Snow grew up with a love for playing with Legos because of how the toy stimulates a childs mind and constantly offers something new. Its not like a Barbie, where youre doing the same thing over and over, he said. You can do whatever the heck you want. Bailey, 15, wants other children to experience the same joy he felt especially those kids who are less fortunate. So, the Granite Bay High School sophomore created a charity called Brick Dreams in which he collects new and gently used Legos and donates them to non-

profit organizations that work with children. Ive always loved Legos and I read something that 60 Lego bricks exist for every one person, Bailey said. I thought, Thats really cool. But then I realized that I have a ton of them, which means some dont have any at all. He started a student club at his high school, the Bricks Dreams Club, which now has six members. He set up a website with the tagline bricks plus children equal happiness and got his first donation in September from a family friend. He has since received more, including two large plastic bins of Legos left at his doorstep. Bailey also gladly accepts donations of Ziploc bags. After cleaning the toys, Bailey mixes the pieces up and sorts them into bags. He has donated a total of 45 pounds of blocks to the safe house operated by WEAVE, which provides crisis intervention services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Sacramento County. Bailey is an amazing teen who has taken something simple and made it incredibly meaningful, said Nichoel Menicucci, community relations coordinator with WEAVE. The organizations safe house serves more than 300 women and children

escaping violence each year. Anytime someone in the community steps up to give those children a gift it has a huge impact on their lives, Menicucci said. The Legos that Bailey provides for us through his charity allow the children to play, but they also learn the value of giving. Baileys mom Nina Snow said shes proud of her sons efforts to help others. Hes always been really empathetic even as a little kid, she said. Hes always the kid to go play with someone who isnt playing with anybody. Bailey plans to keep the charity going at least until he enters college, with plans to eventually become an orthopedic surgeon. In the meantime, hell keep adding to his Lego collection. Hes just starting and his heart is in the right place its such a simple thing but it doesnt have to be complicated, Nina Snow said. If your hearts in the right place, you can find a way to contribute.

Sammys serves it up island style

BY TOBY LEWIS
am no stranger to island cuisine. One of my first jobs after leaving the military (several years ago) was working in a restaurant on the Big Island of Hawaii. So you can imagine my excitement when I was given the chance to review downtown Rosevilles newest restaurant, Sammys Rockin Island Bar & Grill. Sammys, as it is dubbed for short, is touted as a familyfriendly, island-themed restaurant featuring pan-Asian influenced cuisine with burgers, seafood, pasta, salads and a raw bar. On my recent visit, I was pleasantly surprised to see many of my old island favorites on the menu, including the legendary Hawaiian dish loco moco. The loco moco is hands down our signature dish, said chef de cuisine Jarrod Faljean. Although there are other items that sell better, it really has become our staple item relating to the islands. Loco moco is not for everybody, you either love it or you hate it, as Faljean explained. While I partially agree with that statement, I am also willing to bet that those who try it will likely come back for it again and again. What exactly is loco moco? Take a generously-sized ground beef hamburger patty, grill it and serve it over a bed of white rice. Top it off with a fried egg cooked over-easy and finish the dish with a generous portion of brown gravy. The dish is very popular among locals in Hawaii, usually best served on a Sunday morning after a long weekend of

luaus and mai tais. Here in south Placer County, the dish is all but impossible to find. Sammys serves loco moco two ways, taking the dish a step further by substituting yet another Hawaiian staple, Spam, for the ground beef patty and Maui fried rice. While the loco moco was indeed the highlight of my recent visit to Sammys, there is much more to the story. After reading several lessthan-flattering reviews on Yelp prior to my visit, I was feeling somewhat skeptical about what to expect from the new restaurant, which opened its doors on Sept. 22. But in my opinion, sub-par reviews are somewhat to be expected for a brand new restaurant struggling to work out the kinks and make a go of it, especially in what has been traditionally a very tough area for restaurants to be successful. The 10,000-square-foot space, which once housed a JC Penney department store, recently underwent a $3 million interior renovation. The restaurant is bright, airy, laid-back and colorful, adorned with decorative surfboards, guitars, gold records and (of course) large iconic posters of Red Rocker Sammy Hagar, leaving little imagination as to the restaurants theme. The restaurant has two levels with two full bars, one upstairs and one downstairs. There is a large stage set up to the right center of the downstairs dining room, almost as if it is meant to be the main focal point. Live music is offered Thursday through Saturday nights after 10 p.m., when the age requirement shifts to those 21 and over. A little more intimate dining

industry standard. But nonetheless, one bar patron, Camellia Hanson of Lincoln, was quite vocal about her distaste for the prices of the cocktails. I would love to see them make it because the bar is nice, Hanson said to me after asking if I was a reporter. Its really a super place, but seniors wont come here because we live on a fixed income. After our cocktail and stimulating conversations at the bar, we asked bartender Nicole to notify the hostess we were ready to be seated. The hostess offered us a table of our choosing and we opted to sit next to the crudo raw bar, close to the stage and in plain view of one of several flat-screen televisions showing live sports. Our server, Marie, approached the table after a short wait and offered us water and drinks, but did not explain any specials. After that, a busser promptly dropped off two waters and a bowl of potato chips. While we were tempted to order off of the pupus menu (pupu is Hawaiian for appetizer), we opted to order from the crudo raw bar menu. Crudo, explained assistant manager Mike Frost, is the Italian take on sushi and the crudo

experience is offered upstairs, where there are several quieter tables set looking out over Rosevilles historic rail yards. Upon our arrival for my recent visit, my date and I were greeted by a friendly hostess and asked to be seated at the bar for a cocktail before dinner. My date ordered the Sammys Rockin Daiquiri, a concoction
of Sammy Hagars Beach Bar Rum, fresh sour, lychee and pineapple juices served up in a martini glass. I opted for the Red Rocker martini Cabo Wabo reposado tequila, amaretto and cranberry juice. House cocktails range between $7 and $10, which in my opinion is somewhat of an

raw bar offered seasoned raw fish as well as ceviche. The lobster, shrimp and watermelon ceviche looked especially tempting, but we opted for the chefs choice crudo. Marie brought us the yellowtail, salmon, ahi yellowfin and char rare ahi crudo. While the flavors of the sauces and seasoning were quite nice, the fish did not taste as fresh as we would have liked. Later, we found out the restaurant gets fresh fish deliveries on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We were there on a Monday. For our main course, we relied on our server, who suggested we try the barbecued pork Sammy smoked pork with pickled jalapeno, caramelized onions, queso blanco and black bean crema, served Panini style. We explained to our server that my date does not eat meat, but she does eat seafood and Marie suggested she try the beach salad mixed greens, jicima, chopped egg, pico de gallo, roasted corn salsa avocado, lime and chimichurri dressing. Not taking Maries suggestions, we decided on a second course of lobster bisque soup to share and a third course of fish and chips for the lady and the kalua pork entre for me. Marie returned a short time later with our soup and my dates fish and chips. The kalua pork entre was brought out shortly after that.
Sammys Rockin Island Bar & Grill on Vernon Street has a warm island-like atmosphere for dining.
We found the lobster bisque to be slightly creamier and sweeter than we are used to, but it was tasty nonetheless. The fish and chips were, well fish and chips. Its hard to get that one wrong. My kalua pork entre was cooked perfectly, moist and easily pulled apart with a fork. The accompanying barbecue sauce was deliciously sweet. Both dishes were served with a wonderful coleslaw. Then came the most pleasant surprise of the night the aforementioned loco moco, which we did not order but I was happy to delve into. Of course, with so much food, we asked Marie to box up the leftovers and sat down with Frost and Faljean for a conversation over a bread pudding dessert (which was also delicious). Faljean explained that the concept of the menu is based on a hybrid between Sammy Hagars other concept restaurants, Cabo Wabo Cantina and Sammys Beach Bar and Grill. He said the design of the restaurant, the ambience and the live music are all meant to attract people who are simply out to have a good time, and the menu is intended to reflect that. Were really not trying to focus on a high-end crowd, or even the lower end, Faljean said. Were really just trying to have fun with food and put out a great product. In my opinion, with a slew of delicious island offerings, the restaurant is doing just that. Downtown Roseville is changing for the better. With a growing number of entertainment options in the district, Sammys Rockin Island Grill is a nice addition. While some kinks clearly still need to be worked out in the brand new restaurant, I look forward to returning. Maybe next time well go for a live music show and, of course, more loco moco.

Spreading awareness of sex trafficking is Granite Bay residents job

BY EILEEN WILSON
GRANITE BAY VIEW CORRESPONDENT
If there was a job description titled taking care of everyone Vanda Borders would be hired. Borders has taken the role of foster parent, Bible study leader, special needs school aide, and missionary seriously. But her recent role of development officer for Agape International Missions might be her most serious job of all. AIM began in 1989 as a humanitarian aid organization, and today the group has expanded its mission to help victims of sex trafficking in Cambodia and throughout the world, including right here in the Sacra-
mento area. Their programs are designed to fight traffick- Vanda Borders ing, restore victims and transform communities. According to the AIM website, trafficking is a vicious cycle that begins with pedophiles, pimps and traffickers who perpetuate the industry of child sex-trafficking by taking advantage of the vulnerable and profiting off the innocent. Restoration centers and training programs help trafficking victims begin
a new self-sustained life without violence or coercion. The Granite Bay resident shares why the problem is more local than you think.
1. How did you get involved with the organization?
a difference in a persons life.

2. What is AIMs mission?
I truly think it was a God thing. I received a phone call in May from a person I didnt know, from an organization that I had never heard of. A mutual friend thought I would be a good fit for the ministry. The God thing was that I had literally just prayed about going back to work in a position that would be more than just a paycheck. I wanted to make
All of AIMs programs have been created with the holistic strategy of preventing the problem, with humanitarian aid, health care, education and outreach, rescuing the enslaved, restoring the broken, and equipping the church so that sex trafficking is eliminated forever.
3. What is the one thing that every person should know about human trafficking?
on their victims. Greed, power, torture and terror are what delight those who are involved in this business. Its happening right here, and its more widespread than I ever would have believed.
4. Isnt human trafficking a third world problem?
5. What can we do to help victims of trafficking?
Lack of awareness is a huge problem. Indifference and apathy is what helps perpetrators and pimps keep strongholds
Absolutely not. AIM has primarily focused on Cambodia because we have found that Cambodia is where the youngest and most vulnerable victims are. But California ranks in the top three states, and the Sacramento area ranks among the top 10 regions in the nation for reported trafficking victims.
Pray I absolutely believe there is power in prayer. Get involved in promoting awareness and volunteer your time and talents. Visit our website, agapewebsite .org. Also, consider donating. Financial support is a necessary reality for us to continue serving women and children. A dollar a day really can help make a change in someones life.

Early snow could erase memories of down year for Lake Tahoe ski resorts
BY JEFFREY WEIDEL
oticeably absent in the Lake Tahoe region last year was its biggest ski resort advertiser snow. Exposed rocks and trees were extremely visible even in late February when the dry and unseasonably warm temperatures in the Lake Tahoe region looked better suited for mountain biking than skiing or snowboarding. Regardless of how much snowmaking the resorts did, the perception remained Tahoe had no snow. According to Lake Tahoe weather historian Mark McLaughlin, it was the first time since the 1800s that the region had no reported snow in December. Snowmaking literally saved the season. Heavenly ran its considerable snow-making system
incessantly. Sugar Bowl made snow for 50 days at a staggering cost of roughly $625,000. Not even a Miracle March could save the season. Sugar Bowl went from 802 inches of snow in 2010-11 to an estimated 324 inches last season. Heavenly recorded 247 inches last season, well off its mark of 529 the year before. But this season arrives with renewed optimism and an early gift close to 3 feet of October snow in some locations and a half dozen resorts opened by Thanksgiving. Regardless of the weather, changes typically take place from year to year. Below is a look at some noteworthy things happening this year at Lake Tahoe ski resorts.

regarding the first Lake Tahoe ski resort to open each year. That would be Boreal, which prided itself in getting the lifts running early, typically in October. And this year was no different with one exception. Boreal did fire up the lifts early, starting on Oct. 24. However, Squaw Valley ski resort had a special fundraising opening on Oct. 23, stealing the spotlight from Boreal for a day. Boreal has always impressively been the first resort to open in Tahoe and often times in the state, so it was nice to finally upstage them a bit, said Squaw spokeswoman Amelia Richmond. Not only were we the first to open, we were thrilled to see such a great turnout and be able to raise $11,000 for the new Squaw Valley & Alpine Meadows Teams Foundation to boot.

White will again use Northstar as one of his prime snowboard training areas. The resort will build a 22-foot superpipe that will open as soon as conditions permit. It will be located in the same place as last year on the Cats Face ski trail accessed off of the Vista Express chairlift. Royal marriage: Like many homeowners, famed Royal Gorge Cross Country ski resort experienced considerable financial troubles, defaulting on its loan, and the operation was taken over by three local
conservation groups. The groups decided to let Sugar Bowl operate Royal Gorge, which makes sense. Sugar Bowl and Royal Gorge are already connected by an interconnect trail, allowing skiers to go back and forth between the Donner Summit resorts. Skiers can now purchase a bundled season pass, offering a combined alpine/nordic experience. Royal Gorge is considered one of the premier North American cross country resorts.

Heres a vacation home for every day

Property has lush backyard, stunning master suite
BY EILEEN WILSON
repare for a vacation of a lifetime a vacation that will last all year long in this Santa Barbara-style stunner. Secret gardens, tucked-away patios, sunny breakfasts outdoors, this Folsom Lake Estates home has been extensively updated until nothing remains but a spa-like, resort feel. It sounds dramatic, but the front exterior is ultra-private and subdued but for the sound of the cascading fountain that lies hidden just beyond the walls of the front courtyard. But enter this secluded retreat and there is subtle warmth and richness everywhere. The entry opens to a wide expanse of estate-sized yard that begins with extensive patios with retractable Roman shade-type coverings and a formal pool. Behind the pool rests a pergola surrounded by shade garden and lush redwoods nary a peek of another house can be seen in this yard densely surrounded by foliage. Of course, with almost an acre, the property includes plenty of lawn and a hidden cutting and vegetable garden, complete with already-planted bulbs that will be most glorious come spring. The garden area even includes a covered potting shed. The pool has been replastered and the pool equipment is all new, said Dana Svanum of Bishop Real Estate Group. Though the outdoors are glorious, the interior of the home is absolutely resort-like, as well. Start with the upstairs, which houses nothing but a truly spectacular master suite.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Johnny Fisher represented the sale of our house in Granite Bay, CA. We selected Johnny based on his reputation for being a man of upmost integrity and respect as well as his personable character and professional manner. We were not disappointed. Throughout the process, Johnny explained the steps clearly, not telling us what we wanted to hear, but what we needed to hear in order that we could make informed decisions. He worked with us to set a fair and reasonable price, while still fighting for the highest value possible. He provided a clear, proven strategy on the marketing of our home, resulting in a final offer which was well above our initial asking price! In negotiating with prospective buyers, he was calm and thoughtful, presenting the options to us with solid recommendations and guidance. Once the offer was accepted, Johnny was there each step of the way, keeping us appraised of the status of the sale as well as all actions we needed to take. He proved to be detail-oriented, taking a proactive action throughout the process. We could not be happier with the choice of Johnny as our agent and strongly recommend him to others.

Giving out smiles

Granite Bay dental professionals help those less fortunate

Dental hygienist Kimber Szotko and Scott Szotko, DDS, at the Sacramento CDA Cares event at Cal Expo.
isiting the dentist may not be high on your list of likes, but having a toothache or a missing tooth and being unable to afford a dental visit is another story. Without insurance or adequate income, people with these problems tend to suffer through the pain or they avoid smiling if the missing tooth is in the front row of their mouth. What can they do? Well, thanks to people like Scott Szotko, DDS, many children and adults are getting their teeth fixed and their smiles back. The dentist and his wife, Kimber Szotko, a regis-
tered dental hygienist, donate hours to helping those who dont have dental plans or the funds to pay the bills. The couple who own Signature Smiles on Sunrise Avenue in Roseville were among those professionals who donated their time and services at the California Dental Association Cares free dental clinic at Cal Expo in October. According to the California Dental Association website, 2,026 patients at the Sacramento clinic were served by 1,651 volunteers who provided more than 10,000 procedures valued at $1.6 million in dental care. It was an amazing two days, said Kimber Szotko. The doctor worked from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days providing all sorts of services from extractions to infection control. The doctor also worked on

correcting front teeth, just to give people their smile back, she said. People with problem areas in the front of their mouth are at a disadvantage at job interviews, Kimber Szotko said. The dental association provides funds for the program and dentists and dental professionals come from all over the state to help. Plans are to hold the event twice a year at different locations in California. Scott Szotko is chair for the council on membership for the American Dental Association and is one of 67 delegates that formulate policies and direction of dentistry. He was affiliated with the ADA when in dental school. Hes been a dentist for 13 years. In addition to the California Dental Association Cares events, he volunteers with several other programs including Give Kids A Smile. Each year, in conjunction with Childrens Dental Health Month in February, the Szotkos open their practice on a Satur-
day and provide treatment and education for children who dont have access to dental care. A lot of dental offices do it, said Kimber Szotko. The school systems refer the kids. Through a Bayside Church, Roseville outreach program, the couple also participated in a dental clinic in downtown Sacramento. It was quite successful, although we could have treated more people. We plan to do it again, she said. They also participated in another program, Give Back A Smile sponsored by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. They treated a survivor of domestic violence who had her jaw broken. We gave the woman back her smile with new upper dentures and a new crown on her lower teeth, Kimber Szotko said. The work was done in conjunction with local laboratories, the Corr Dental Laboratory and the Roseville Dental Laboratory,

continued from page 39 who made the dentures and crown. They made a pretty substantial donation, she said. The Szotkos, who live in Granite Bay, moved to the area from La Jolla two years ago. They met at the University of Michigan, married and moved to Southern California. They moved to Granite Bay to be closer to her family. Granite Bay is a neat community. Its fun to know all your neighbors, there are kids everywhere and our daughter, age 3, loves it, Szotko said. They bought Signature Smiles, an existing practice in Roseville, where they see families and special needs patients. The doctor has spent over 10 years mastering the latest techniques in cosmetic dentistry with a focus on detail and the use of life-like porcelain and composite materials to enhance smiles. Its a slow time for dentistry due to the economy, but the Szotkos are busy with their volunteer work. They enjoy giving back to the community by taking care of peoples dental needs.

Celebrate Wild Nights and Holiday Lights

BY LAURA NEWELL
he Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary will soon be ablaze with holiday lights, providing a unique backdrop for families to experience this holiday season. In preparation for the third annual Wild Nights and Holiday Lights at Folsom Zoo Sanctuary, volunteers have hung thousands of colorful, environmentally friendly LED lights all over the Zoo Sanctuary, including an enchanted forest of 60 lighted trees. Visitors may also enjoy holiday carolers, animal presentations by Zoo docents, seasonal refreshments, rides on the miniature Starlight Express train and meet Santa Claus and the Zoos own Santa

Paws, says Sandy Hilton, Folsoms Community and Cultural Services Manager. Our staff and community volunteers have created a wonderful opportunity for our community to celebrate the magic of the holiday season while supporting our wonderful Zoo animals. The sanctuary opened in 1963 with a mission of providing shelter to ani-
mals that were injured or orphaned in the wild, or raised and rejected as wild pets. More than 80 animals, including tigers, bears, sheep, deer, monkeys, foxes and wolves, reside at the Zoo Sanctuary. According to Hilton, approximately 8,000 viewed lights last year at the sanctuary. The zoo is so charming, and once we light up the walkways and exhibits it makes it so intimate, it introduces new people to the zoo for people who may not have visited the zoo before, Hilton said. Its a wonderful holiday event that fun for the family. She said another reason to take advantage of these special evening hours at the zoo is to see the animals at night.
Wolves and foxes are always very curious of people walking around in the evening, she said. We can also hear the owls hoot sometimes during the night, so its a different experience than visiting during the day. Its a nice date night for teens and couples as well as a family outing. It really offers a neat experience for all age groups. Visitors can view the holiday lights from 5 to 8 p.m., Dec. 7-9 and Dec. 14-23. Admission is $5 per person, with no fee for children under two years. The Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary is located in City Lions Park on Stafford Street, behind the Folsom Public Library. For more information, call (916) 355-7285 or visit folsomzoofriends.org.

A DOCTORS CONFESSION TO THE CITY OF GRANITE BAY

Dear Friend, A confession is tough to do, but it can help set the record straight. Before we talk about my confession, let me tell you a little about myself. Nineteen years ago I was a successful painting contractor putting myself through University California Davis pre-med. The little free time that I did have I spent weight lifting. As a result of the long hours of physical work and studying I developed a serious low back condition. It became so crippling that I could no longer do the things I loved to do and could not provide for myself. I was going to loose all that I had worked so hard for. After considering surgery (that was my only option according to my surgeon) I decided against it. A friend of mine convinced me to give Chiropractic a try. The Chiropractor reviewed my MRI, did an exam, took some x-rays, and then started to adjust my spine. The adjustment didnt hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I could use my leg again pain free. It worked so well I finished UCD and went to Chiropractic school myself. Its strange how life can be, people not only come to me for back problems similar to what I suffered with. They also come to me for, headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/ arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, numbness in limbs, fibromyalgia, and athletic injuries, just to name a few. Here is what some of my patients had to say: Dr. Pete, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia several years ago. My doctor told me I would probably need to be on medications for the rest of my life in order to deal with the pain. He was right, until shortly after I started coming into your office. I am now pain free and drug free! It no longer hurts to give my husband or my grandchildren hugs. Thanks for giving me my life back. Ada Pruitt. Thank you for taking the time to educate me on the importance of Chiropractic care for me and my family. My daughter has ADD and is treated with Ritalin. From her first adjustment, I have noticed that she has great improvement in her ability to focus and follow direction, without medications! Kim Bjorklund. or cure disease. Heres how it works. I make a specific spinal adjustment and the nervous system functions better. Its your body that does the healing. We have tremendous results. Its that simple! You benefit from an amazing offer Look, it shouldnt cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health. If you bring this ad in (by December 28th 2012) you will receive my entire new patient exam for $47. That is with a detailed health consultation, orthopedic and neurologic exam, X-rays (if necessary), and a report of findings... the whole ball of wax. This would cost $250 elsewhere. The law states that I cannot offer you this price, then charge you more for the interpretation of the results. Any further care will be agreed upon by both parties. But further care is very affordable, you will be happy to know that I have $40 spinal adjustments. You see I am not trying to seduce you to come see me with this low start up fee, then to only make it up with higher fees after that. Further care is very important to consider when making your choice of doctor. High cost can add up very quickly. Care will be aimed at correcting the actual cause of your health problems and not just covering up your symptoms with drugs. Great care at a great fee... Please, I hope that theres no misunderstanding about quality of care, just because I have a lower fee. Youll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications... Im a graduate of Palmer College and was awarded the prestigious Clinical Excellence Award. Ive been entrusted to take care of tiny babies, to professional athletes that you may know. I just have that low fee to help more people who need care. Our office is both warm and friendly and we do our best to make you feel at home. Our office is called Granite Bay Spine & Body and is located at 8207 Sierra College Blvd Suite 520 B, (next door to Bayside Church) our phone number is 916-782-2444. We can help you! Dr. Pete Strombeck. P.S. I know many people will respond to this offer, so please call as soon as you can. The first 25 people who come in for their first visit will receive a $75 chiropractic pillow. P.S.S. If you do not find this the friendliest office you have ever been in, we will give you a full refund!
Many Americans no longer have insurance, and those who do, have found that their benefits are reduced. Thats where my office comes in. I have a significantly lower fee so that more people are able to afford the care they need. A whole week of care in my office costs what you could pay for one visit elsewhere. Another way to save...studies show that chiropractic adjustment can double your immune capacity, naturally, without drugs, or flu shots. The immune system fights colds, flues, and other sickness. So you may not be running off to the doctor as much. Studies have also showed people actually pay less for their long-term overall health care expenses if they are seeing a chiropractor. Now to my confession, I dont heal anyone! I never have. I dont treat

Setting the barre high

BY STEPHANIE GARCIA
f youre known as a bar fly, youve probably got some great stories at a local watering hole, and you might be known to bust a gut laughing. But if youre a local Barre Flie, youre well on your way to shaping your gut, legs, and arms into a ballerina-type body, and you barely have time to catch your breath, much less laugh. Barre-Flies is a privatelyowned fitness studio located in Granite Bays Quarry Ponds shopping center. This is a dream come true, said Diane Holland, owner and instructor at the newly renovated studio.
Since 2011, ballet barre studios have been appearing in every major city and seem to be the latest trend in that neverending quest for the perfect workout. There are no weights, and the only thing you need to bring is a pair of socks. Although there is music, there is no dancing. And even though youre stretching, this isnt yoga. So what exactly is a barre workout? Barre exercises rely mainly upon ones bodyweight for resistance, and the moves challenge your core stability and balance. Barre workouts are designed to give you a long, lean dancer-like physique. While each barre workout differs

STUDIO: Barre workouts are popular amongst stars

continued from page 49 slightly, most classes incorporate exercises done at a ballet barre and combine elements of ballet, Pilates, and yoga. Holland has been a fitness leader her entire life. For the past 25 years, she has taught all types of classes but found that this specialized barre workout was exactly what she was looking for. Although she considered opening a franchise operation, something just didnt feel right. I want to run this my way, not listen to someone else or follow someones rules, Holland said. After opening her doors in October, Holland has found that the response has been nothing but positive. The only drawback might be that she taught the first 29 classes herself
thats 29 hours in five days. I always wondered what it Diane Holland felt like to work out until I couldnt stand up anymore, and that first week, I found out, Holland said. Barre workouts have been popular amongst stars like Madonna. The vigorous workouts incorporate tiny, isometric movements that cause the muscles to almost reach the point of exhaustion. The concentration on posture and alignment training provides fast results for toning muscles and improving the overall core. Longtime Granite Bay resident Reema Aurora can attest to this. After only one week of barre workouts, shes already feeling results. In four classes, I can already do more pushups, she said. Aurora has never taken ballet, but says that hasnt stopped her from a barre workout. Im willing to try anything once, she said. This gives me a complete
This gives me a complete cardio and muscle workout but it doesnt feel like traditional exercise I feel like Im in a dance class.

cardio and muscle workout but it doesnt feel like traditional exercise I feel like Im in a dance class. Aurora is an inspiration to Holland and other members of Barre-Flies. Having just completed her final round of chemotherapy for non-Hodgkins lymphoma, she finds this type of workout to be a calming environment while providing strength training that is vital to her bodys recovery. Reema is a warrior, Holland said. This is truly an empowering environment. Barre-Flies is open seven days a week and costs about the same as the going rate for any type of fitness workout program. The schedule changes each day, as Holland serves up a menu of different classes.

I dont like to cook in real life, she said. This is how I cook. I serve up a new menu every day and I feed my customers. Holland also feeds her soul in the process. Now she is living her dream and says that even though it may not be filling her bank account just yet, it is filling her soul. Ive wanted this for so long, Holland said. Holland comes from a family of business owners. Deep down, she always knew that she would follow suit. Ive followed my gut my entire life, and if I fail oh well, she said. Im my fathers daughter, Holland said. After her father passed away a few years ago, Holland still finds herself missing his approval. If he was alive today, I know he would be proud of me, in fact, he would be my biggest supporter, she said. Although some days are long and she misses her teenage children and husband while the business ramps up, she knows in her heart that this is exactly where she wants to be in her life. To me, failure is not chasing this dream, Holland added.

Interval training for faster results

By alternating high-intensity movements with low-intensity movements, youre working both your aerobic and anaerobic systems.
ant to get more out of your workouts? Theres a little secret in the fitness world called interval training. What is interval training? Rather than doing the same cardio exercise your entire workout, interval training alternates short, high-intensity bursts of exercise with slower, low-intensity periods of recovery. Research has shown that such intervals of high and low-intensity activity burn more calories and build fitness quicker in a shorter amount of time. Once designed for elite athletes, interval training is now something the
average fit person can try. You dont need fancy equipment or special training to rev up your routine with interval training. Read on to learn more about this fast, slow, fast, slow method of training and weight loss.
both your aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (without oxygen) systems. High-intensity exercise causes your muscles to produce lactic acid (waste products), which lead to muscle soreness. Too much lactic acid build up causes exercise to become exhausting and painful. Alternating hard and easy exercise will reduce the amount of lactic acid that accumulates, thereby making exercise more comfortable, improving your endurance and increasing your speed.
matter. There are no real hardand-fast rules about interval length. Varying lengths bring varying benefits. So how fast and how often you pick up the pace depends on you. Beginners should aim for no longer than 30 seconds of high-intensity bursts. If youre feeling strong and are in good shape, go ahead and push yourself a bit longer.
Know the risks

While a no-rules approach may sound appealing, interval training isnt for the beginner. If youre new in the land of fitness, take your time as you increase the intensity of your workouts.

Rushing into highintensity exercise may lead to injury. Start out slowly. Add one or two high-intensity intervals each workout. Slow down if you feel youre overdoing it. As your stamina increases, feel free to challenge yourself.
Sample workouts
Remember, theres no set rule about how to do interval training. It can be tailored to your fitness level and type of exercise. An interval-training workout involves four variables that can be changed to meet your goals: intensity of intervals, duration of intervals, duration of recovery intervals and the number of interval repetitions. Interval training can be casual, spur of the moment bursts of activity depending on how youre
feeling that day or if youre working toward a more specific sports or fitness goal you can take a more sophisticated, scientific approach. Interval training workouts have been designed for plyometrics, sprints, stair running, jump rope, speed drills and agility drills. A simple example of interval training for walking would be to add short bursts of jogging or alternate slower walking with brisk walking. If you walk outdoors, you could jog or walk faster between certain landmarks such as mailboxes or street signs, then slow down for a short distance. A second example that really gets your heart pumping and improves fitness in a short amount of time includes running, rowing or cycling. Warm

up for about 15 minutes, then run, row, or cycle as hard as you can (at 90 percent of your maximum heart rate) for three minutes. Then go easy for three minutes, allowing your body to recover. Repeat these threeminute intervals of highand low-intensity exer-
cise three or four times. Then cool down for 10 minutes. To get the most out of your interval training try the following:
Add resistance:
Between sets of cardio do a set with dumbbells, resistance bands or with your body weight.
Increase speed: Really push yourself during the sprinting intervals. Remember, its only a handful of seconds. Lengthen intervals: Add a few seconds to your intense intervals. Change exercises: If youve been sprinting then switch to burpees or
high knees. Plus, this is the busiest time of the year. I get more cancellations in December than any other month. It is hard for us to fit our workouts into our busy holiday schedule. I have found that the shorter our workouts, the more likely we are to stick to them. If you can do short, noequipment workouts at home, youll lose fat and still have time to make all those family gatherings and parties with friends as well.

Teaching your child to deal with emotions

What are emotions? Emotions are often labeled good or bad. All emotions, however, are not negative emotions, including fear, hurt, frustration, disappointment, anger and guilt. Believe it or not, frustration and disappointment from failures have actually prompted many to achieve a goal they otherwise thought was impossible.
Understanding emotions

Emotions have a purpose. Teach your child to understand and use his emotions carefully rather than be controlled by them. Good or bad, emotions tell us something about ourselves.
creative behaviors are often affected by killer statements and gestures of others. Explain that killer statements, like Thats a stupid idea! or Youre really weird, and negative gestures like smirking and eye rolling are not acceptable.

Emotions can be controlled

Actually, a good way to have a child deal with an emotion is to find a way not to get involved in it by disassociating himself. For example, train him to say or do something unusual or unexpected. In fact, the more bizarre the
Avoidance and denial

Avoidance and denial, however, are not good ways to deal with negative emotions. Avoidance could lead to not trying at all. Denial simply forces the child to ignore or bury his emotions, and this will only cause the emotion to re-surface at another time.

Student shares stories to combat bullying

e want to recognize Granite Bay High School senior Paige Finkmeier, who is an honor student and Student Body President. More importantly she is leading the development of a high profile campaign Whats your story, based on the famous quote: Its hard to hate someone whose story you know. Paige and many other students have built a program centered on antibullying. What I wanted to see happen at school and around the community is for people to become aware that everyone has something going on in their personal life that influences their behavior, thoughts and feelings every day, Paige said. I feel that when people understand that ones story will explain why someone does a certain action, they will be able to graciously see past one mere action or attitude

and realize that there is more to a person than what they see at that moment. Through this awareness campaign, Paige and the members of Whats your story truly believe that they and the staff at Granite Bay High School can build an atmosphere of comfort and safety throughout the school, which is something that is not always a part of every students life. They seek to understand the stories of others and ensure that school is a place where they can learn and grow in a safe environment of understanding. Paiges care for others carries on into her future
dreams as she aspires to become a nurse for newborns in intensive care. I want to be there for the babies and families that are not fortunate enough to start healthy. I feel it is such a critical time in a human beings life that I will be able to have a larger impact in the lives of not only the babies, but the parents and extended family of the ill newborn. Paige is a real example of our values: Improve the life of one person each day. We extend a great amount of appreciation and recognition to Paige and the students of Whats your story for their efforts in improving our community.

The waterfronts fine any time of year in San Diego

BY CARY ORDWAY
s if San Diego needed to give visitors any more reasons to visit what many people already consider paradise, the Port of San Diego has begun sprucing up portions of the waterfront that will make this part of the city look like one big bayside theme park. Dont look for thrill rides unless maybe you want to rent a speed boat or jet skis but rather think of the new improvements as adding to what already is an extensive waterfront playground. Seaport Village already gives visitors a fun collection of shops and restaurants with panoramic views of the bay. Now a new 105-foot wide esplanade will adorn the waterfront and will feature plazas, gardens, shade pavilions and a promenade perfect for strolling, jogging or cycling along the waterfront. Its called the North Embarcadero Visionary Plan and its set for completion in the fall of 2013. Additionally the Old San Diego Police Station, located in the same general waterfront area, will be transformed into a new multi-purpose shopping center. Vacant for the past 25 years, the Old Police Station will have restaurants, specialty retail stores, public markets and entertainment facilities all while maintaining its unique Spanish architecture. Of course there is no need to wait until these projects are completed to

visit the San Diego waterfront. On a recent visit we were reminded of just how fun it is to spend time down on the water, enjoying what is really an ideal place to play tourist for a day or a weekend. Even though we live close to San Diego, a trip to the San Diego waterfront is like getting on a plane and visiting someplace that takes your mind completely off work or anything else that may be consuming your thoughts. It helps if you plan to spend a night or two at one of the waterfront hotels in San Diego, and there are many good ones that provide easy access to the waterfront.
SAN DIEGO WATERFRONT

What: San Diego waterfront is the heart of the city and especially popular with tourists. Where: Its an easy walk from downtown San Diego, and the improvements are being made in the area between Seaport Village and the USS Midway. When: Any time of year. San Diego is said to have the best year-round weather in the country. Why: Ideal for those seeking a sunny waterfront getaway with lots of interesting attractions nearby. How: Visit www.thebigbay.com.
On this particular trip we stayed at the Embassy Suites San Diego Bay, located across the street from the Old San Diego Police Station and just between two popular attractions, Seaport Village and the USS Midway. You know that feeling when you arrive at your beachfront hotel in
Hawaii, Florida or the Caribbean? Theres that rush of excitement that comes when you see the water and all the vacationers exploring the nearby attractions, the suns warm glow making it ever-so-urgent that you jump out of your traveling attire and into a bathing suit or swim-
ming pool. Arriving at the Embassy Suites San Diego we felt that same excitement. We always do when visiting the San Diego waterfront its that kind of place. Our 11th floor suite gave us an incredible view of the San Diego waterfront, Seaport Village and the nearby USS Midway. The kids didnt spend much time looking at the views, though they couldnt wait to swim in the hotels impressive indoor pool. Near the pool are stateof-the-art exercise facilities for Mom and Dad. Close to the waterfront hotels is Seaport Village, which we think captures
the spirit of San Diego perfectly. This waterfront shopping area is 14 acres altogether with numerous restaurants and more than 50 one-of-a-kind shops. For those husbands who might not be inclined to spend much time in a shopping complex, rest assured that Seaport Village is much more than that. The main walkway through Seaport Village follows the water and offers plenty of sights to keep things interesting. On any given day you might see luxurious pleasure yachts trolling the bayfront, or you can often see a mammoth Navy vessel entering or
60
leaving the bay. Kayakers and small pleasure craft ply these waters while you can see every type of boat from the tiny Coronado taxi to Americas Cup racing boats. On occasion weve seen historic tall-masted sailing ships staging a recreation of a battle at sea. Seaport Village is an excellent vantage point for anything you want to observe on the bay, but it also has its own entertainment such as live bands on Sundays and an assortment of street
musicians, magicians and artists all vying for attention on what is usually a gorgeous sunny San Diego day. Altogether there are four miles of meandering cobblestone pathways at Seaport Village and hours of exploration ahead of you, depending on just how much you want to see. Its a short walk north along the waterfront to the USS Midway, a mustsee for anyone visiting San Diego for the first time. This is Nirvana for military and aviation
buffs, but its also a fascinating experience for anyone who wonders what its like on a real aircraft carrier. The ship allows access to nearly all areas and on the flight deck are dozens of vintage aircraft of various shapes and sizes. Docents are on board to explain how everything worked on the Midway and usually they have quite a story to tell because they were actually sailors or aviators on the ship when it was on active duty.
