hey warned me he was big. 100 pounds. A head the size of a bear. Paws the size of saucers. But it didnt hit me until I was face-to-face with an Alaskan Malamute this is a big dog. Some friends had taken in Kodah from a rescue. He has a fluffy lions mane around his face and one floppy ear thats instantly endearing. His kind, dark eyes stand out against his Creamsicle-colored fur. And he loves his new humans so much, he is always underfoot (if you could use such a term with a dog that comes up

When I found out that Kodah was rescued from a Great Pyrenees group out of Granite Bay, I couldnt help but want to share the story of this local club and how they are helping large breed dogs in need of a home. Other articles that I

We also profile a Granite Bay girl with dyslexia who is hoping to change stereotypes about the condition (page 26). Plus, we kick-off Mark Sotos new column, Sideline Conversations, which will focus on lessons learned from the local coachs life and his observations about Granite Bay. Happy Thanksgiving!

Local designer brings out the best in your home

BY LEILA Z. MIRONOVA
atherine Kawaguchi is like the Band-Aid to your disorganized, ill-designed, badly feng-shuied living space. Which is to say: she can fix it. Not just cover it up with a beige flexifabric (unless you like that sort of thing). Kawaguchi is vice president and head designer at Guchi Interior Design, an interior design firm in Roseville dedicated to helping homeowners create beautiful homes one room at a time. Guchis clientele varies from renters to first-time homeowners to high-end clients in Donner and Granite Bay. Really, Kawaguchi can get excited about working with just about anybody. I become very close friends with the bulk of my clients, she says. Think about your relationship with your hairdresser.

5 DESIGN STEPS
Want to redesign your space? Follow these guidelines, as suggested by Katherine Kawaguchi of Guchi Interior Design. Step 1: Look at the space and decide how you want to use it. Do you want to leave it in its existing use, or do you want to change it? Like changing an office to a study or reading area. Step 2: Think about what style youd like it to be. Do you want it to be formal? Super casual? California casual? Step 3: What are your Guchi Interior Design furfavorite colors? Color drives nished these Paris-inspired everything. Everything we dcor items for a raffle wear, everything thats fundraiser for the Sun City around us. Roseville Foundation. Step 4: Start with neutrals and then pop with some accent colors. Use maybe taupe, or whatever quiet colors you love, then come in with your teals and terra cottas. Step 5: Clean! Clean the windows inside and out. Get that space spick and span!

continued from page 4 a new window treatment. Instead, she got an extreme makeover. After Kawaguchi conducted an initial walkthrough assessment of Lois 2,100-square-foot townhouse, she realized that she had many neat things that were either misplaced or under-utilized. Kawaguchi spent a total of 14 hours at the townhouse, with movers and cleaners, and brought nothing new into the home. Lois was moved to tears when she saw the finished space. One thing I tell clients quite a bit is, Dont let the neighbor down the street intimidate you, Kawaguchi says. If you have enough money, you can make anything look like a million bucks. Can you do that on a more curtailed
Whats unique about Katherines design style is that she always looks into the future and how the design will function for a client 10 or 15 years down the road. A lot of designers only focus on whats good for the clients now.

budget though? Of course, Guchi undertakes more complex and extensive projects as well. The firm is licensed to install flooring, tiling and window coverings, and Guchis President Bruce Kawaguchi is a wellknown expert in the flooring field. Its a hard formula to pull off because lots of things that we do are so detailed, Bruce says. But we do operate in the spirit of a one-stop shop in a lot of ways.
Kawaguchi describes her design style as flexible. She says most of her designs tend toward the eclectic because of the kind of items her clients possess, like a dresser they inherited from their grandparents or a bed theyve had since their college days. Even Guchis showroom, which is richly styled with traditional and Tuscan swatches and artwork, features furniture that Kawaguchi finds in consignment shops, like the Goodwill or Restore in
Roseville. Kawaguchi often tries to use what clients already own because those items feel like home to them. I usually find one thing in the clients home that really speaks to me and end up creating an entire look based on it, Kawaguchi says. She also runs all of her designs through the screen of universal design, an approach that seeks to create environments that can be used by as many people as possible, regardless of their age, ability or status in life. Whats unique about Katherines design style is that she always looks into the future and how the design will function for a client 10 or 15 years down the road, says Monica Magoffin, interior design coordinator at Guchi.

lot of designers only focus on whats good for the clients now. Examples of universal design include curbless showers and horizontal drains, both of which Guchi specializes in. We want to work with young people who are just starting out in life and grow with them, as they evolve from apartment to house, Kawaguchi says. As for easy ways to spruce up your decor for the fall, Kawaguchi recommends seasonal pumpkin gourds and mums, whose bright colors will liven up any living room or porch. Look to nature, she says. Its one of the many places she draws her own inspiration. Look to fabrics, your travels, or your education. Pretty much anything can be inspiring. Even that BandAid.

The warm-colored walls provide a beautiful background for her paintings and its difficult to walk through the rooms without stopping to admire her amazing ability with color and canvas. The award-winning artist creates in oil, pastel, acrylic and bold, beautiful color. Mya Louws studio will be one of the stops on the annual PlacerArts Autumn Studios Tour Nov. 11-13 which features the work of 67 participating artists. Louws studio is at the front of the house. Originally an exercise room, the Louws added French doors to allow clients direct access from outside. The mullioned windows on the doors and elsewhere in the studio let in natural light. The area rug is dotted with paint spatters. Seemingly dozens of paintings hang on the walls or sit on the floor leaning up against one another. Theres lots of work in progress, she said.

When I know something is wrong, but I cant lay a finger on it. It helps to have an honest critic or I take a good break for a day or two. She enjoys company and overnight guests. Friends keep me busy and keep me intellectually challenged. She also enjoys travel and just returned from a trip to Spain where she visited El Prado Museum in Madrid and the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. She unfolded a letter-size copy of a painting by Picasso with two figures in shades of gray. I think Im going to be influenced by gray, she said. But one imagines her grays will be vibrant. It will be my gray period, she said. But Im not ever melancholy.

Big hearts are needed to help some really big dogs

Sierra Pacific Great Pyrenees Club rescues breed in Granite Bay
BY ANNE STOKES
am Tobins home is a rescue-animal menagerie. Flocks of geese and ducks roam freely, ponies graze together in an oak-shaded corral, and a pair of attention-loving cats meander peacefully around the yard. But Tobins true love lies in her dogs. I work specifically for the dogs, Tobin says. I came out of retirement and went back to work. So to say that my life has gone to the dogs is an understatement. But its an OK reason to get up in the morning! Shes president of the Sierra Pacific Great Pyrenees Club, headquartered at her home in Granite Bay. The club held its annual awards dinner there last month. The casual, low-key event was indicative of club members warm and supportive relationships. The awards banquet is designed to thank and recognize the volunteers who go above and beyond, whether its rescuing dogs, or its working for the shows, or working on fundraisers, or cleaning, Tobin said. All of these people that come and I honor, they bust their tails. They do a lot. Veterinarian Dr. Brent Wooden, of the Old Town Animal Hospital in Fair Oaks, has worked with the rescue group for the past few years. Dr. Wooden was honored with thanks for his time, efforts, and expertise that have helped many dogs recover from trauma, abuse, or neglect. Its quite a good group, Wooden said. They do a really good job for the animals. The Sierra Pacific Great Pyrenees Club is a nonprofit group founded in October 1996 by a group of Great Pyr aficionados

Ive been doing rescue for about 18 years and the dogs that come through here are spayed, neutered, and restored to health if need be, she said. Weve gotten dogs that have been stabbed, burned, shot, beaten within inches of their lives, abandoned, left for dead,

who wanted to preserve, protect and promote the large breed. Great Pyrenees dogs can grow to 100 pounds, stand 32 inches high and are primarily used for livestock protection. The breed is very old, with references dating to 1407, and was used by shepherds in the Pyrenees Mountains of southern France and northern Spain. Starting with 12 members, today the club has grown to over 400 members who rescue animals from as far away as
(and) starved. But no matter under what circumstances the dogs come into Tobins rescue group, theyre all given the care and attention needed to rehabilitate them into ideal pets for loving and qualified homes and families.

Local women help foster youth flourish

BY MARGARET SNIDER
Ashley, 14, models an outfit for United Ways Women in Philanthropys 10th anniversary celebration and fashion show in the courtyard of Macys Downtown Plaza in Sacramento.
ANNE STOKES GRANITE BAY VIEW
hree Granite Bay women Donna Chipps, Carol Wolfe and Char Donnermeyer led the charge in 2001 to form the United Way California Capital Regions Women in Philanthropy. I remember telling the gentleman at United Way who was responsible for major donors that I wanted to do more than just donate dollars, Chipps said. He asked me about beginning a womens group in Sacramento . . . Carol came on board right away, as did Char. At that time, United Ways across the country were starting womens initiatives.
GRANITE BAY VIEW
United Way found that women like to really stay connected with their donations rather than kind of just donating once a year, said Amber Murry, vice president of marketing and communications, United Way California Capital Region. They want to have volunteer opportunities, networking opportunities. United Way sponsored a national two-day conference for cities that had already established Women in Philanthropy groups. The first was held in 2001 right after 9/11 in Washington D.C. which was a very interesting gathering of women, Wolfe said. Donna and I went to

that. Its been 10 years now, and on Oct. 13 a special luncheon celebrated the 10th anniversary of Women in Philanthropy. This areas WIP group has espoused the specific cause of foster children who are about to age out. The luncheon was held in the open courtyard of Macys Downtown Plaza in Sacramento. It happens annually, but this one was special, with a video showing 10 keynote speakers from the past and reflecting the work that has been done. So many people really dont understand that at age 18 these kids are out on their own, said Donnermeyer. That money stops, their life at that particular home often stops, too.

If youre a child in the system at 14 and you know youre going to be there until 18, then start planning now. Dont assume that your number one option is whatever everyones telling you to do ...
Chloe Walker, 23, former foster youth, current member of Women in Philanthropy
From just a few members the group is up to 286 members in 2011. They have raised more than $1 million since 2001, helped 300 foster youth per year for a total of 3,000. The percentage of foster youth in the program promoted to the next grade level is 93 percent compared to the national average of 45 percent. Thirty-four Life Skills Workshops have been held once a month for the last three years, teaching such topics as interview skills, public
speaking, assertive communication and financial literacy. Granite Bay WIP member Sandy Yasso got involved through Donnermeyer. They said that $1,500 was enough to emancipate one youth, to successfully launch one child, Yasso said. I felt that was so incredible, to think that amount would make that kind of a difference for a child. Former foster youth Chloe Walker, now 23, is one of the success stories.
She called for new members and pointed out how they can help foster youth overcome the barriers that they face.
Walker is now a member of WIP herself, but not long ago she was what she called a child of the system. She was continually in and out of foster care.
At 14, the abuse was so severe that I was placed into protective custody and long term placement until I was going to turn 18, Walker said.

continued from page 21 The mentoring she received through Women in Philanthropy was invaluable. Her advice to foster youth is that it is never too early to start planning for aging out. If youre a child in the system at 14 and you know youre going to be there until 18, then start planning now, she said. Dont assume that your number one option is whatever everyones telling you to do ... If you think about it and youre savvy and you think about a Plan B and Plan C, youre going to be more successful. Because Plan A doesnt always work. Walker now has just three more classes to complete for her Associate of Arts degree from

cant even imagine the challenge of an 18-yearold young adult being launched out of this program into wherever. Kitty ONeal, news anchor at KFBK, and Tim Ray, executive director at AT&T, served as co-masters of ceremony for the luncheon. We had a great time, it was so fun, and I think it spoke to our hearts today, too, said ONeal at the end of the luncheon. So thank you for making a difference in the lives of foster youth. Ray had plenty of encouragement to offer. I think its amazing what one woman can accomplish, he said. A packed room, with hundreds of women theres no stopping them.

Stretching the limits on Italian cooking

The mozzarella wrap at 7 Sisters Italiano is filled with salami, roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, capers, onions and olives.
7 Sisters specializes in gluten-free cuisine
BY SENA CHRISTIAN
GRANITE BAY VIEW
waitress at 7 Sisters Italiano places down a plate with a large serving of pesto pasta and returns to the table a few minutes later. Can you tell its gluten free? she asks, raising her eyebrows. No, says my dining companion, impressed. Thats the best part, the waitress says, smiling. Owners Todd and Jeanine Morgan opened the Citrus Heights restaurant in December 2010 with a goal in mind: To make quality homemade Italian food in the vein of an old-school mom-and-pop eatery one would have found in Italy at the turn of the 20th century. That means authentic recipes, organic ingredients and homemade bread, sausage, dough, sauce, pasta and cheese. People should be passionate about food, not go to a restaurant and feel like theyre settling, Jeanine Morgan says. But the husband-and-wife team had another goal, which involved raising the bar on the taste of gluten-free food. To do so, Jeanine Morgan who suffers from celiac disease along with their two children and the majority of her 11 siblings creates her own line of convenient, gluten-free cuisine. You want something and you realize no one else is going to do it, so you shut up and realize you have to do it, she says. In the process, shes providing an enjoyable eating experience for those who often cant go to restaurants without worrying about the potentially dangerous impact on their health. Jeanine Morgans food is certified by the Celiac Sprue

Association. People come in here and try our food and cry. And we know we did our job, she says. Their gluten-free menu includes about 20 products, including desserts, and shes also experimenting with vegan and dairy-free dishes. I guess thats where my degree comes in, says Jeanine Morgan, who majored in biochemistry at Rutgers University. There are also plenty of nongluten free items available. The Morgans pride themselves on providing customers with a constantly evolving menu of reasonably priced dishes appetizers, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas devised by the trials and taste tests of Todd Morgan. The friendly chef often visits patrons tables, offering free samples, suggesting items not even on the menu or boister-
ously encouraging them to dig in! In October, he introduced a stew with sausage, mushroom, onion, garlic and marinara. This is a hearty meal, he says. Its a winter-time thing. For an appetizer, he recently created a mozzarella wrap filled with salami, roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, capers, onions and olives. Hes always coming up with new recipes to try. I make a lemon pizza. People are totally freaked out by that, he says. He actually prefers his pasta

plain with butter and garlic, and he avoids food out of a box. Todd Morgan is a native New Yorker with 30 years of Italian recipes up his sleeves, and his wife is a native of Philadelphia. They married and lived in New Jersey. Then 9/11 happened, Todd Morgan said. The couple sold their house and headed out west to Nevada. After eight years of operating Big Apple Pizza and Catering in Sparks, they wanted a change and moved to California. 7 Sisters Italiano is named for Jeanine Morgans sisters, and the restaurant is tucked away in the corner of a shopping center on Auburn Boulevard. The intimate space is simple, bright and airy, with a comfortable homey-feel. Patrons can watch the chef working in the kitchen from any spot in the restaurant, which seats about 35. Carry-out and catering is also available. Business has done exceedingly well, Todd Morgan says. Its shocking in this economy. Its because the food we do is unique to this area.

Granite Bay teen doesnt fret about her disability

BY SENA CHRISTIAN
few years ago, Jordan Heald marched into the office of A Touch of Understanding and said she wanted to be a speaker for the organization. The nonprofits Executive Director Leslie DeDora asked what she would speak about. Ill never forget what she said, DeDora said. She said she has dyslexia and her younger sister does too, and she doesnt want her to be teased the way she was. Who can say no to that? Jordan joined the groups Youth FORCE, which stands for Friends Offering Respect Creating Empowerment, and visits schools to spread awareness about disabilities.
GRANITE BAY VIEW
Now a freshman at Granite Bay High School, Jordan, 14, isnt able to volunteer as much as she once did. But she still wants kids to know that its wrong to make fun of someone else because of a learning disability. I was made to feel bad inside because I wasnt like them, Jordan said. But now I feel so confident. I dont care what other people think. One out of every 10 Americans struggles with dyslexia, according to the International Dyslexia Association. Dyslexia is a brain-based learning disability that impairs a persons ability to read, write, spell and sometimes speak. A person with dyslexia has trouble translating messages
Dyslexia hasnt held Jordan Heald, 14, back from doing the things she loves, such as playing guitar.
received from the eyes or ears into understandable language. Symptoms include difficulties with word recognition, mixing up similar words and poor spelling and decoding abilities.
Dyslexic people dont read backwards, although spelling can look jumbled because they have trouble remembering letter symbols for sounds and forming memories for words. People with dyslexia may be gifted in areas that dont require strong language skills, such as art, computer science, design, drama, electronics, math, music and sports. A list of prominent dyslexic people includes John Lennon, Ansel Adams, Jay Leno and Erin Brockovich. Jordan was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was in third grade. My first reaction was, Lets get her fixed, said her mom, Lavena Heald. Jordan was carted off to
tutoring. She tried homeschooling, then a charter school and then back to a public school Cavitt Junior High School, where she made the group of friends she still has today. Instead of trying to fix Jordan, her parents decided to encourage the areas where she shines. Lets work on everything shes really good at, Lavena Heald said. Jordan is a talented musician. She writes her own country music and performs cover songs at gigs around town. She plays the guitar, which she learned visually by watching her teacher. She cant read music, Lavena Heald said. But she can jam on the guitar.

Shipping gifts for the holidays?

BY TOBY LEWIS
ts never too early to start thinking about your holiday shipping. At least that is what David Woodworth, owner of Pak Mail in Granite Bay, says. Woodworth, a Granite Bay native and a graduate of Cavitt Junior High and Granite Bay High schools, recently became a Pak Mail franchisee because he said he enjoys doing business in the community that raised him. Woodworth is offering tips for making sure your holiday presents arrive to their destination on time and in one piece.

Choose wisely
Woodworth says UPS and Fed Ex are very competitive with one another, and because of that, their prices tend to go back and forth within about 50 cents. He said the U.S. Postal service is generally more cost effective, especially with smaller items, but shipping tends to be a bit slower than other carriers and it is more difficult to get adequate insurance coverage.
Pack it well
Woodworth says a wellpacked box should be able to withstand a fall from a two-story building, no matter how breakable the contents. Its fine to pack it yourself as long as you do it right, he said. Woodworth recommends getting advice from a professional or bringing it to a professional shipping center like Pak Mail. He says UPS and Fed Ex dont like paperwrapped packages because their feeders will rip off the paper. The U.S. Postal service does accept paper-wrapped packages, he said. Electronics usually require special consideration, including using static-free packing materials, Woodworth says.
Save your receipts

Holiday gift shippers should keep all the receipts from the items they are shipping, to prove the value and protect themselves in the event there is a problem. If it does get damaged or stolen, it just makes the claims process a lot easier, he said. UPS isnt going to hand out a $1,000 check just because you said it was worth $1,000. During the holiday season, the store offers gift wrapping, even for things that are not being shipped, and will add extended hours leading up to Christmas.
Plan ahead
Woodworth says the sooner the better. In terms of making it there on time, plan ahead, he says. The more time you have, the lower rates we can use. It gets exponentially more expensive (to ship) as we get closer to the holidays. Woodworth says it generally takes about six business days for a package to get from California to the East Coast.

He was about 2 years old when he was diagnosed with autism. He didnt speak much and preferred spending his time by himself. Today at age 7 Jordan is in second grade, learning to ride a bike and is socializing with other children. Jordans mother, Dina, said her sons progress is
due to the therapy he has been receiving at Baby Steps. Jordan has done a 180degree turn around since hes been here at Baby Steps, she said. But its not just the families who appreciate the Baby Steps Therapy approach. For Alba Barraza, the clinics service manager and speech language pathologist, its the type of therapy Baby Steps provides that drew her to Tara and Bill. I believe in the vision of the company, which is to provide quality therapy. Barraza said.

Nothing was going to deter me. When Tara told Bill her plan, he was on board with the idea. But when it all came together about seven years ago, Tara was unable to accompany Bill to China to meet their new daughter, Maggie, who was 1 year old. Five weeks after Maggie came to live with Tara and Bill, Tara gave birth to the couples son, Liam, and life became challenging with two children under the age of 2 and the

Since we work together each day, we know what is going on in each others lives and that really helps. But no matter how busy their work lives become, Tara and Bill relish their time at home with Maggie, now 8, and Liam, 7. We are so grateful, Tara said. We love living here in Granite Bay and all it offers.

Stately home has chic elegance inside and out

BY EILEEN WILSON
GRANITE BAY VIEW
Los Lagos residence has traditional, classic design
ith an exclusive address on Calle Montalvo Circle, located in the private and guard-gated Los Lagos community, its hard to go wrong. But with a home like this 5,249-square-foot beauty, everything feels oh-so-right. With a flora-filled entry befitting a secret garden, terra cotta steps lead to a grand doubledoor entrance that is flanked by cypress, crepe myrtle and shade loving ground cover all protected by stately, spiraling oaks. And stately describes the homes interior, as well. Two story Doric columns lead to an interior entry that is floored in palest gray granite with wisps of white. Black granite and brilliant white marble inlay creates an intricate floor entry design. Formal living and dining rooms continue the classic look with details like fluted moldings and additional columns. With a traditional and classic design, with a twist, the home is never boring. Its a chic elegance there are things about the house, like granite floors and columns, yet there are contemporary touches, for example, the breakfastroom light fixture (a fixture that

counter ice maker. While the island offers ample granite overhang a large area that doubles as a table for six, the large pantry with built-in spice racks, spirals beneath the entry staircase to create storage for every possible piece of kitchen equipment. But the homeowners favorite kitchen feature is the one that can be seen but not touched the amazing view of the backyard. Its a fabulous lot it goes way back. They have weddings here, Fenstermaker said. Its easy to see why the yard would be included in any wedding-planners dream. Filled with numerous seating areas both sunny and shaded the yard includes waterfalls that flow over natural rock formations into a natural-style pool, multiple levels,

is reminiscent of teardrops of titanium and swirling opaque gray and white glass). Theyve mixed a lot of things, said Eve Fenstermaker of Granite Bay Properties. The calming-tones of pale gray in the front rooms give way to a surprisingly robust Earth-toned family room, designed for comfort, but with elegant touches, nonetheless. Touches like cherry boxed ceiling and cherry bar that includes granite counters, sink, wine refrigerator and double dishwashers. Cherry floors house decorative light-colored wood inlays, and the granite-faced fireplace includes an ornately carved cherry mantle. While the entry is tranquilly cool, and the family room rich and warm, the kitchen combines both color schemes for a delightfully refreshing room that offers envious views to the waterfall-filled backyard beyond. The kitchens luminous cherry floors and cherry cabinetry are offset by a light gray colored granite that, on closer inspection, is striated with dots of black and pale mint. The color combination really pops. The professional kitchen includes a Wolf six-burner cook top with separate warming oven and matching stainless hood, double Jenn-Air ovens, double Thermador dishwashers, double sinks, an island veggie sink and an underAUBURN

LOS LAGOS: Double-sided fireplace in master takes center stage, columns surround raised tub
continued from page 34 retractable awnings with misters, and way in the back an area that includes a play structure to keep the kids occupied. Another highly obvious plus for the property is its pristine condition. Though the home is ideal for a large family, theres nary a stain to be had on the cream colored and carefully cushioned carpets. From the double-sized home office with his-and-hers builtin cherry desks, built-in bookcases, and cherry flooring to the immaculate upstairs kids suite, the home is beautifully outfitted and perfectly maintained. Dramatically dark, floral carpet leads to the top of the stairs. Brilliant white wainscoting is flanked by mirrors and floored in stunning cherry. The area includes an outdoor balcony with a spiral iron staircase that descends to the back patio below.
Separate vanities with granite countertops continue the luxurious look, and an extra deep closet with windows includes floor-to-ceiling hanging space, and floor-to-ceiling shoe racks and cubbies. This home has rooms that little girls and boys can only dream of. A tea-party bedroom with pink and crystal chandelier and floor-to-ceiling mirrored closet doors has an en suite bath, outfitted in granite and marble. Jack-and-Jill bedrooms at the end of the hall offer an extralong bath, outfitted in cool white marble tiles swirled with gray, and a choice of a hint-ofblue room with an outdoor mural, or an oversized room that faces the front of the home. This showpiece of a home includes dramatic, unique light fixtures, built-ins, a variety of customized ceiling treatments, and art niches throughout.
COURTESY
The formal living room embodies the classic look with details like fluted moldings and columns.

The master has a doubledoor entry, which offers a view of the wheat-colored marble, double-sided fireplace, which takes center stage. The master bath includes a raised tub, which is surrounded by columns and yards of warm marble. The shower and vanities employ matching marble, as well.

Granite Bay community has helped shape plan update I

n August 2008, the Placer County Board of Supervisors directed the Planning Department to review the, then 19 year-old, Granite Bay Community Plan to see if modifications were needed in the planning goals, policies and land-use designations. Finally, after three years and dozens of community meetings, we are getting close to bringing the updated Granite Bay Community Plan back to the board for adoption. The update process has been a great example of local government in action. Hundreds of people have participated, and a core group of 23 people have been involved every step of the way. The county has

encouraged their input and listened closely to their concerns. The process has not been easy or free of controversy, but it has been pro-
ductive. Last year was a critical period in the update process as a special Granite Bay Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) subcommittee was formed and has been meeting with county staff to review proposed changes to the plan. To date, the subcommittee has met 17 times. Soon, the county will release the draft community plan for public comment. On Nov. 2, 2011, people will have a chance to comment on the draft plan at the regular meeting of the Granite Bay MAC. The draft plan proposes no land uses changes, but will include policy changes that will help shape the future of our
community. That is why I want to encourage everyone to stay involved. I am pleased the Granite Bay community has been so involved in the update process, and hope everyone will review the draft plan and consider submitting comments to County staff. Other opportunities for public input are on the horizon. Both the Granite
Bay MAC and Planning Commission will formally review the draft plan and send their recommendations to the Board of Supervisors before we take action. I am convinced the process has been very productive, and the updated plan will offer a vision that will help preserve Granite Bay as one the finest communities in the Sacramento region.

Is it just a game? Our actions and reactions sometimes say otherwise
eing a coach for the past 18 years has taught me great patience when it comes to the concerns, taunts and language I hear coming from the mouths of parents standing on the sidelines or being yelled from the stands. Over the years, I have learned how to manage parents concerns when it comes to their children. Most of the time their concerns are from the heart and they truly want the best for their child. However, last week I had the opportunity to visit a friends childs soccer game. I must admit that I was more than a little surprised by the language and yells I heard from parents trying to encourage their children. Some parents were so verbally irate and abusive that it made me think of what happened in Boston several years ago when what started as a routine hockey practice ended in a powder
Mark Soto Sideline Conversations
keg of emotion that would forever change the way we view youth sporting events. In a burst of unfathomable rage, Thomas Junta confronted, attacked and beat to death fellow hockey dad Michael Costin over what witnesses say was ironically enough a disagreement on how rough practice had gone. I am not saying that this type of action would ever happen in Granite Bay, but could it? Look at what made national news in our area several weeks ago when two high school football teams had a bench clearing brawl. Some of the parents joined in, and a coach was later terminated for his involvement.
As unfortunate as the incidents above are, the issue has found its place in Americas consciousness serving notice that even the most simple of lifes pleasures is no longer so simple. Ask yourself, Have you ever witnessed any inappropriate behavior of parents toward children, coaches or officials at a youth sporting event? Before you answer no so emphatically, consider that yelling at a referee for missing a call qualifies as inappropriate behavior. So does the dad who angrily yells at his son to throw strikes as he labors on the pitchers mound. So is the coach who screams at his player not to miss the free throw seconds before the ball leaves the hand. I believe two factors define how and why parents react the way they do. The first is defining the power of the situation, which includes the factors that
cause a parent to react the way they do, (heat, drinking, a bad day at work). The second is the level of identification a parent has with his or her child (if your child is benched, youre benched. If your child is called out, youre called out). I am not suggesting that a parent should not identify with his or her child. Instead, the solution lies in not tying this identification with the outcome of the game. In the end, it is the winning and losing and all the trappings of success and failure tied to the outcome that send some parents off the deep end. Todays youth sports culture has taught parents to care too much about who wins and who loses. What our children and student athletes really want is to be with their friends and have fun playing whatever sport it is they chose. The adult mentality of winning championships has
interfered with this premise. The emotionally mature parent is the one who recognizes that spending time on the bench, coaches telling their child what to do, etc. are parts of the whole learning experience for their child. In sports as in life we learn about the joys of winning and sadness of losing. As a parent, you must remind yourself of what is really important when it comes to your child and sports. Would you want your child to come to your office and badger you about how you do your job? The bottom line: Relax, enjoy and know that sports will assist your children in receiving life lessons that will help them become better and more respectable adults. Dont ruin it for them.

Cyber bullying includes using a mobile phone, the internet or other technologies to threaten, tease or embarrass someone.

Stop it right away

If you see bullying occur, take a stand but do not join in. Do not support the bullying but do support the bullied by helping. Start by going with the person to report it at school and at home.
Tell someone
Every child has the right to feel safe and the power to stop bullying. Telling someone can change a childs life in fact, it can turn his life around. Clearly report: What happened? How often? Who was involved? Who saw it? Where did it happen? What has the victim done about it? Make a written report.
school or excludes himself from group activities, there is probably a problem of some kind. Talk about the experiences where it is happening. Reassure your child he has done the right thing by telling you.
Reforming a bully
Sometimes a child doesnt know bullying is wrong. He may be copying a sibling, or he hasnt learned how to socialize properly. Friends may be encouraging him to out aggressive feelings. Change will happen only with appreciation, love, guidance and support of parents remember change takes time.
Sheri Hitchings is a Granite Bay resident and former educator.
Signs of bullying
A bully may do any of the following: pushes, laughs at others, dishonors, disrespects, ignores the wants of others and shows little awareness that his behavior is hurting others.
Why does it occur?

Carmel-by-the-Sea, still a jewel on the Monterey Peninsula

BY SHERI HITCHINGS
n exceptionally beautiful way to spend the day is walking the pebbled streets of charming Carmel and lounging on the picturesque beach. We just refreshed our memories of Carmels one square mile and always enjoy discovering something new. Carmel is a place to dine, shop, stroll and savor the unbelievable ambience of ivyadorned cottages.

Families love Carmel

Try Douglas Ranch, 120 privately owned acres 15 miles east of Carmel and Monterey Peninsula. Visit Point Lobos State Reserve. For hiking, horseback riding and biking, try the Garland Ranch Regional Park. Holmon Ranch on horseback explores the hills that inspired the setting for Steinbecks Pastures of Heaven. Enjoy lunch at Earthbound Farm. Carmel is a jewel on the Monterey Peninsula and Carmel Valley. Be swept away with its serenity, gardens, courtyards and historic homes.

Gustatory pleasures
For breakfast, savor the delightful banana and brown sugar pancakes at the Village Corner Mediterranean Bistro. Dont miss Wagon Wheel on Carmel Valley Road and brunch or cocktails at Mission near Carmel Beach. Savor a lunch at Flahertys Seafood. Bring your dog to Forge in the Forest in Carmel or sit outside by a fireplace. Enjoy lunch or dinner at Rio Grill in the Crossroads Shopping Center the walls have been painted with caricatures. Try Los Laureles Restaurant and Saloon for wonderful country dining. Try breakfast at Awakenings in nearby Pacific Grove, Sand Bar and Grill on the wharf in Monterey or dine with beautiful views at Nepenthe at Big Surs Ventana Inn.

The dog-friendly beach in Carmel has views of Pebble Beach golf course.
History
Since the late 1800s, Carmel has been the haven for writers, painters and poets. In 1906, the San Francisco earthquake drove many famous people, like Sinclair Lewis and Jack London, to Carmel. Today, locals and tourists flock to the professional theater, symphony orchestra, music concerts and cultural center after a day of exploring.

Heres five easy ways you can drop five pounds

Deb Skelton Fitness Column
d like to share five simple strategies with you for shedding five pounds of fat before the holidays. Weight loss can be put into two categories. The first is a fully concentrated effort. This is where you dedicate yourself to counting every calorie and slaving away in the gym. The pounds come off, but once you relax the regimen your weight goes right back to where it was. The second is a combination of simple lifestyle changes. This is where you change a few key factors about what you eat and how you exercise, without making it a full-time job. This type of weight loss is gradual and permanent, since you are able to maintain it long term. The five simple strategies
below all fall into the lifestyle change category. These strategies may seem ridiculously simple, but do them over an extended period of time and you will see amazing, permanent results. The key word here is permanent.
These strategies may seem ridiculously simple, but do them over an extended period of time and you will see amazing, permanent results.
two or more diet soft drinks a day had the largest waistline increases about five times more than that of nondrinkers. They stated, Data from this and other prospective studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas as healthy alternatives may be ill-advised: they may be free of calories, but not of consequences. Bottom line: Artificial sweeteners are addictive, lead to
waistline increases, and cause you to crave sugary foods. By cutting diet soda out of your daily routine, and replacing it with water, you will lose inches and pounds effortlessly.
how much you will effortlessly lose. I bet youll feel more energetic and experience less abdominal bloating as well.
2: Swap protein bars and shakes for egg whites

Move over supplements no fat, no cholesterol, no chemicals is better. Its time to redefine your protein supplements. While bars and shakes have tradition on their side, egg whites offer you the best source of protein for weight loss and increased energy. Bottom line: Bars and supplements have chemicals and preservatives and your body cannot utilize all of the protein. Swap your supplements for egg whites for 30 days and see
3: Trade slow cardio for intense intervals

Doing slow cardio will not give you results. In order to really make your workout effective, you need to turn up the intensity. If you love the treadmill, then do a series of sprints throughout your workout. If youre a swimmer, then push yourself extra hard every other lap. Bottom line: Doing slow, easy cardio will not give you the streamline body you want. Only intense intervals will do that for you. Pepper your workout with bouts of intense cardio and watch as the fat starts to disappear.
1: Ditch your diet soda

Studies are coming out that link diet soda to weight gain. Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio concluded that those who drank

4: Avoid sugar 99 percent of the time

Sugar will cause you to gain weight every single time. Theres really no way around that simple truth. Sugar is standing between you and your perfect body. If youre serious about looking and feeling great, then understand that sugar has no place in your diet. Bottom line: If you avoid sugar 99 percent of the time, then you will be on your way to a lean and energetic body. If its your birthday or a special holiday, then partake in a small amount of sugar, but make that the exception and not the rule.
5: Exercise with a professional

When the workout is designed for your specific weight loss goal you will get much faster results. Bottom Line: People who work with a personal trainer get better results than those who attempt to do it on their own. Each workout will push you to your limits, challenge your body and deliver the results youre looking for. Motivative Health & Fitness wishes you a happy and healthy holiday season!
