Seniors get the service at Eskaton Lodge Granite Bay

Independent-living facility celebrates 10th anniversary
BY LAURA OBRIEN
ESKATON LODGE GRANITE BAY

What: Independent living with services and assisted living Where: 8550 Barton Road, Granite Bay Phone: (916) 789-0326 Online: www.eskaton.org/ lodge-granite-bay.html
skaton resident Helen Wilson has lived in 14 states, but she didnt need to pack a box for her latest transition. Im in assisted living now for the first time and, boy, am I getting the service, said Wilson, 86. They help me get dressed in the morning and find what clothes I want to wear. They check my diabetes. In the 10 years since Eskaton Lodge Granite Bay opened, the elegant independent-living facility has added assisted living and hospice care. And the lodge isnt resting on its laurels. Improvements include the recent implementation of sensory technology that alerts staff when clients need a higher level of care. Eskaton also opened a new community room last month. Three smaller activity rooms onsite could not accommodate residents needing walkers, said Executive Director Vicky Cross. They feel uncomfortable when they go into a small room and then they have to leave their walker out in the hallway, Cross said. It was just a need to have a large

room for all of them. Staff, residents and family members provided funding toward the $295,000 construction project with support from the Eskaton Foundation. The new room boasts an 80-inch wide-screen television and surround-sound system, made possible through staff-led fundraisers, including raffles and car washes. On a weekday afternoon in March, jazz music wafted from the dining room, the only space previously big enough for larger events. The diverse offerings on Eskatons monthly activities calendar have included hula and belly dancing. Activities are important to Wilson and fellow Eskaton resident Helen Crosby. The two women arrived at the Granite Bay lodge in the same month more than eight years ago.

She said residents often request the gospel tune In the Garden, written in 1912. Wilson said she enjoys participating in a singing group and exercise program. Her sons suggested she move to Eskaton after a couple of hospitalizations. When you give up your home, this is another nice home and people here are very friendly and we get good service, good food, Wilson said. The caregivers are trained. If someones sick, they can

tell right away. When a resident in independent living needs more help, Eskaton care providers can assist them with bathing, medication management and wheelchair transfers. The resident remains in his or her apartment; they dont need to move to another section of the facility. When necessary, the resident also may choose from hospice care providers.
Eskaton uses a concept referred to as age in place. Eskaton Lodge Granite Bay transitioned to offering age in place beginning in late 2009. Beyond independent living, age in place offers residents family members peace of mind when their loved ones need monitoring and supportive services. Trained Eskaton care providers receive direction from a staff nurse. Those clients with pressing medical needs are referred to skilled nursing, which is not offered onsite. Complementing the age in place concept is the in-room technology QuietCare, an Intel-GE Care Innovations product that senses a residents movements, such as trips to the bathroom. Similar to a motion detector in appearance, the technology generates data that, when occurring in a particular pattern, may signal

a need for a higher level of client care. Meal service represents another facet of the quality of care at Eskaton. Dietary Director Kim Kerley has worked at Eskaton for nine years, following a stint in food preparation at Folsom State Prison and as a manager of her own restaurants. She manages a staff of 27 at Eskaton. We all have the same passion for seniors, she said. Its really just their home. Were just here to assist them in their home. Kerley prepares monthly candlelight dinners in the winter and cruisethemed dinners in the summer. She buys sugarfree Oreos for the residents whatever it takes to
keep them eating and happy. Sometimes, the only time that they come out of their apartment is to come down for a meal, so we want that experience to be the best it can be, Kerley said. Celebrating residents birthdays is a favorite occasion for residents and Eskaton staff alike. With the core group of Eskatons residents in the 80- to 90 year-old range, said Eskaton Sales Counselor Erica Caldwell, I tell them theyre an elite bunch. Crosby shared her secret of longevity. Just go on living, she said. Breathe every day. Thats the only thing I know.

Golden years dont have to lose shine

Granite Bay company prepares to launch LEAP program
BY SCOTT THOMAS ANDERSON
heila Abbasi and Pati Rader dont believe the golden years have to eventually lose their shine, even when seniors are combating major health issues or life-altering mental challenges. Abbasi is the owner of The HomeCare Source, a business that provides services to seniors in Granite Bay recovering in their houses from injury, or living in their homes with Alzheimers or dementia. Rader is a certified seniors activities

leader with an unapologetic love for singing and theatrics.
Together, the two women are getting ready to launch a new Life Enrich-
ment Activity Program, or LEAP , in order to better stir the spirits of their eld-
erly clients. The obstacles many seniors face as they get
older including personal isolation and sluggish routines are concerns that have been near and dear to Rader since watching her late mother deal with dementia. Becoming sedentary and withdrawn are developments that can take someone from having everything to nothing almost overnight, Rader said. Seniors can get very depressed. Not living in a way thats physically and mentally stimulating can really bring them down, and studies have shown their overall health will suffer. Abbasi, who has owned The HomeCare Source since 2009, had come to the same conclusion. She was confident her care SEE LEAP PAGE 10

LEAP: Program designed to help seniors engage in activities they will actually find enriching
continued from 9 givers were doing their very best to have meaningful interaction with clients, but she was also sure there was room to look for innovative ways to lift the seniors energy levels higher. I think the in-home care profession generally does a great job of taking care of the clients basic needs, Abbasi explained. But when it comes to engaging them in activities other than just watching television, its just very difficult. When Abbasi met Rader, she knew she had found the right person to help develop a new element of her business. For the last year, the two have worked on designing LEAP. According to Rader, the main focus of the program is to identify and cater to the uniquebe done safely and responsibly. A lot of times, people who work in in-home care will just sit down with a senior and tell them theyre going to paint or draw, Rader said. When you think of how long our elders have lived, and all the things theyve seen and knowledge they have even if they have dementia telling them to just sit and paint is kind of insulting. Our goal is to fill that void without coming in the home and taking over. We try to determine what they really want to do and what theyll find most enriching. The HomeCare Source will officially launch LEAP at the start of this month. Abbasi said shes both proud and excited by the early response from clients. Ive been meeting with our seniors and their families, and interest in doing this is something that keeps surfacing time and again, Abbasi said. The families want their loved ones to have activities they will truly like doing. LEAP is specifically designed for accomplishing that. Having something like LEAP is part of whats so rewarding about working with seniors seeing them smile and still enjoy life as theyre aging, and getting the most out of life when its something they didnt think they could do.

Mexican made simple

A food writers journey at Bernardos
BY TOBY LEWIS
GRANITE BAY VIEW
ne of my new favorite sayings is, It is what it is. How can you argue with that? The saying is especially apropos when it comes to hole-in-thewall restaurants, most of which are underrated, in my opinion. After a recent dinner at Bernardos Mexican Restaurant in Granite Bay, I couldnt help but leave thinking, It is what it is. Bernardos is everything you would expect from a typical hole-inthe-wall Mexican joint

traditional comfort food, very reasonable prices, fast and friendly service. There is nothing fancy about it, both outside and in. And according to owner Bernardo Ramirez, his many returning and loyal customers like it that way.
Growing up as a ranch hand in his home state of Durango, Mexico, Ramir-
ez immigrated to California in 1969 and immediately took up a job wash-
ing dishes in a family restaurant. Ramirez quickly learned the mechanisms of the restaurant business and eventually worked his way up to manager at his uncles restaurant, Caf Delicias, in Granite Bay. When Caf Delicias closed in the early 1990s, Ramirez focused his attention on opening up his own restaurant bearing his name in downtown Roseville in 1992. He has since expanded, taking over the former Granite Bay Caf Delicias space in March 2008. Bernardos is not unlike most family-oriented restaurants serving

family recipes that have been handed down through generations in a no-frills, non-pretentious environment. Every dish we tried on my recent visit had the familiar flavors one might expect from traditional Mexican cuisine in California, whether it be a taqueria or sit-down, fullservice restaurant. Bernardos happens to be a sit-down, full-service restaurant, and as a firsttime visitor, Id say the food pretty much speaks for itself. Bernardos certainly does not pride itself on its dcor, and, dare I say, it shouldnt. The space is defined by two dining rooms a main dining room and another used for larger parties and banquets, each separated by arched windows lined with aged brick. The booths, while obvi-

Everything from the seat yourself concept to the wooden salad bowls to paying at the cash register in the front when you are done with your meal reminded me of the restaurants my parents would take me out to when I was a kid. Thousand Island dressing? Yes, please. On our recent visit, my wife and I sat ourselves in
one of the booths and were immediately greeted by our server, Indira, who was very friendly and did an excellent job describing the menu to us. She explained that everything was made fresh, in house, including the delicious red hot sauce, which is served in a squeeze bottle along with the chips and salsa. Bernardos only serves beer and wine, but Indira explained that she can make a margarita using agave wine instead of tequila. We ordered two on the rocks, no salt.

continued from 13 We never had a winerita before and we found it to be very sweet and a bit syrupy. But it still satisfied my margarita craving. For snacks, we tried the chips and guacamole. Indira was also very attentive in replacing our chips and salsa, but did not bring water to the table until we asked for it. She explained that the chili verde and shrimp entrees were quite popular, and so, as is often the case, we ordered off of our servers recommendation. My wife ordered the camerones rancheros (shrimp sauted in a ranchero sauce with peppers and onions) and I ordered the chili verde. Indira also suggested I order a duo of chili verde (marinated pork) and

In all actuality, each dish we were presented seemed to lack a certain sense of creativity. That being said, I find no fault with Bernardos simply being what it is. Nothing fancy. Great service.

Thousand Island for me. Each entre also came with rice, beans and tortillas. We were surprised at the speed with which the food arrived at our table, which led me to suspect that the entrees were likely prepared earlier that day and sitting on a hot line waiting to get scooped on a plate.

Petes expands to provide classic pub-style entertainment

BY TOBY LEWIS
any people define their form of entertainment as hanging out at a bar, enjoying a craft microbrew and watching some sports with a few good friends. With the intent to accommodate such folks, Petes Restaurant and Brewhouse at the Quarry Ponds in Granite Bay has recently undergone a significant expansion. The restaurant just finished adding a 1,587square-foot back bar, enhancing what used to be simply thought of as a pizza joint serving only beer and wine. Now with a full liquor license and 16 new tap handles, the restaurant boasts a new, 46-foot Lshaped wooden bar, a

lounge area with couches and coffee tables and several booths with cush-
ioned seating for up to four people. Owner Chad Wells said
the two-month expansion project was done with the sole intent to
create a warm space with an older feel where people can enjoy a micro-
brew or cocktail and watch some sports. We wanted to make it look like its been here for years, Wells said. And we wanted it to be comfortable, a place where you are not going to want to leave once you get in here. The 16 new tap handles are serving up mostly local, craft brews, ciders and ales. Look for specialty beers from local brew houses such as the Auburn Ale House, Loomis Basin Brewery, Berryessa Brewing Company (Winters), Lagunitas (Petaluma) and Green Flash (San Diego), to name a few.

I think its great, said Mark Miller, of Auburn, who has been working in Granite Bay for 30 years. There are not very many establishments around here with a bar like this. Speaking of entertainment, the new bar area now also features live music acts every other Saturday night and will have music on the patio during the spring and summer months, Wells said. Petes Restaurant and Brewhouses began popping up in the region in 2006, and is the latest version of Original Petes, Wells said. The company is not a franchise. Rather, each restaurant is owned individually and owners pay licensing fees to use the name. While each individual restaurant (there are 10 locations throughout the Sacramento region) has similar staple menu items such as pizza, pasta and salads, the menu differs somewhat so that it is unique to each particular

For patrons, having the new bar area is a well-designed and wellexecuted welcome addition. It kind of separates it from the restaurant, Miller said. People can go in there and have dinner, and then they dont hear all the rowdiness. It works out pretty well, I think.

A time to bond
Mother-daughter National Charity League gives pairs opportunity to volunteer together
BY SENA CHRISTIAN
bert had to wake up at 5 a.m. to go volunteer not exactly what a teenager typically wants to do to celebrate. But Jenny, now 17, actually wanted to volunteer. She was going to stock the water station at a local Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Jenny had made a commitment, and she planned to follow through. An added bonus: Her mom, Linda Gilbert, was volunteering, too. The Granite Bay residents are members of the

CHARITY: Mother-daughter pair spent 25 hours each year volunteering together

continued from 17 sometimes they dont get that many applicants, and sometimes they get many more. Names are randomly drawn out of a hat to determine who will join the class each year. The league encourages leadership, and meetings are held parliamentary style, with each girl responsible for a position such as president, vice president or liaison with a charity. Jenny Gilbert is a parliamentarian this year, which means she helps keep meetings under control. Girls get chatty, she explained. Jenny Gilbert said participating in the league
has given her the chance to cultivate friendships with teens she might not otherwise get to know. The experience has also opened her eyes to a future career in the medical field. The Granite Bay High School senior volunteers four hours a week as an intern in the Sutter Roseville Junior Auxiliary. She works with nurses in pediatrics and has also been trained in postpartum. Im perpetually the volunteer asking questions about the medical field Seeing it from the inside out is really enlightening, she said. Jenny Gilbert completed 100 hours of volunteering both last year and this year. While its not uncommon for girls to volunteer so many hours, the league only requires 10 to 15 hours annually. The Gilberts spent 25 hours volunteering together each year. Over the past six years, the Gilberts have done such activities as helping organize a food donation for animals at the Folsom Zoo and leading arts and crafts with children at the Granite Bay Library. Theyve served food at St. Vincent DePaul and directed traffic at local charity runs. Theyve cheered on athletes at the Special Olympics. Most moms get into it for the volunteering, Linlected baked goods and clothes, and made cards, which they delivered to the Sacramento VA Medical Center. As girls get older, they grow to appreciate the volunteering aspect and the time with their mothers more and more, Linda Gilbert said. Its nice because when girls are in high school, they dont want to hang out with (their moms), she said. But this forces them to hang out with us, and it creates a lot of opportunities to do things together.

da Gilbert said. People have good intentions, but when left on your own, things come up and you probably wouldnt go out on your own to find places that need volunteers.

Teen shaves locks for St. Baldricks

Erin Bryers, of Granite Bay, says goodbye to her previously long, curly, red hair during the St. Baldricks Celebration on March 2 at the Westfield Galleria at Roseville. Bryers, 13, raised more than $6,000 with her teammates for the annual fundraiser, which benefits the Keaton Raphael Memorial and the St. Baldricks Foundation to support cancer research. We truly believe that we are making an impact, said Keaton Raphael Memorial Director Teresa Hofhenke. A major portion of the funds that we raise toward research stays local and were really proud of that. The fundraiser raised $142,462 with 294 shaves at the Galleria event.

Now, art lovers have a chance to peek inside the studios of local artists during the seventh annual Art Studio Trek. This years theme: art and chocolate.

who started it, said artist Darlene Engellenner of Roseville, whose studio is on the tour. They decided they would ask a few artists to join them to see what would happen, and it just sort of blossomed from there.
With 15 studios and 21 artists, visitors can make it around to most studios during the weekend. Some of the artists have donated artwork for a special Passport program. Visitors can earn a chance to win the art by getting a paper stamped at a minimum of 10 locations. Foster, a resident of Granite Bay, entered the art world through calligraphy. I had my first calligraphy class in 1978 with Jenny Groat, who just
passed away this month, Foster said. I studied with her for a long, long time, probably 20 years before I moved here. Groat taught calligraphy and mentored students for many years; she was also well-known in later years for her painting. Foster took the calligraphy class when she was an international flight attendant because she wanted something to do while she was waiting in airports and sitting in hotel rooms in Europe. Calligraphy was some-

thing that was easy to take with me without carrying a lot of paints, she said. Now Foster incorporates calligraphy into her painting, or maybe painting into her calligraphy. Sometimes I start with the words, sometimes I start with the idea of a color, image or an abstraction, Foster said. I work back and forth both ways. Engellenner said she creates her art objects spontaneously with energy and movement, using found materials. Someone gave me some pond scum once and I also have torn up paper for bills and made a handmade paper that I incorporated with the pond scum, Engellenner said. It had little bitty bugs. Currently, among other materials, she is working with copper sheeting.

She acquired a big roll of copper from a metal artist when she went to a studio trek in Santa Rosa. Artists are so generous, its just amazing, Engellenner said. He said, Here, I have this big roll of crumpled up copper. I have had this around for about 10 years. I dont know what to do with it. Engellenner produces a copper patina with vinegar, salt and ammonia and makes collages with squares of copper. But really, she said, she

likes to explore what materials can do and try new things. Like Foster, Engellenner has been with this art studio trek from the beginning, unlike Connie McLennan, whos participating for the first time this year. McLennan has been a working artist for 30 years. Following a brief stint in the art department at KCRA, she did freelance illustration for a variety of local and national clients. Additionally, she illustrated 13 childrens books. While the commercial work was balanced mostly between watercolor and acrylics, she has been exclusively doing oil for more than two years, moving into more artistic and freestyle work, painting what she wants to paint. Im working mostly on still life type material . . . Ive developed a fond-
ness for antiques, McLennan said. I was never a collector of antiques, but I find little interesting pieces that are fun to paint, and then I also like floral and trees. McLennan asked the studio trek organizers what they wanted to emphasize with the event. They very much want to encourage students to come and see the work and the importance of keeping art in the schools, McLennan said. Its a big chunk of culture thats getting left out. Especially interesting for attendees may not only be viewing the art, but also speaking with the artists, finding out why they do what they do and how their artistic spirit awoke. It just might lead to the awakening of another unique spirit in the student.

ary Gale of Granite Bay has reason to be proud. Her dog, a Brussels Griffon, was awarded Best of Breed in the toy group at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club dog show in New York in February. Her pet paraded around the arena with pride and posed for pictures now posted on his Facebook page, the New York Times online and other websites. Several photos of the dog decorate Gales home.

The handling team cares for him, loves and grooms him and he lives with them 24/7 Thats the way it is with show dogs at this level, Gale said. She refers to her dog lovingly as my little Sharpie. He came to her when he was 4 months old, selected by Fleener, who told Gale he was the right dog for her. Gale went to

Tucson, picked him up and brought him home. She wanted a show dog; however, its rare for a breeder to give one to an amateur, Gale said. Sharpie started out as my pet and lived with me until May of last year, she said. Then he had the opportunity to go to a fantastic handling team. He was always my pet first. He made his show debut at six months. As I started showing him around California, he started getting noticed, Gale said. He had the support to go further, to go with a wonderful handling team in Southern California. Now hes 2 years old and has received a lot of honors. Sharpie is in the toy group. Other groups include sporting, working and herding, and theres a Best of Breed in each group. Sharpie was

While Westminster is the top dog show in the country, Sharpie has been shown at other events, most recently in Santa Clara and Chicago. Dogs are the stars, Gale said. They have a mega attitude and you can see them sparkle in the ring. Sharpie became an

COURTESY VICKI HOLLOWAY
American Kennel Club champion of record at 13 months old and seems to enjoy attending shows. You cant take an unhappy dog into a show, Gale said. Typically, a dog may
show for two to three years and some show up to age 7. It depends on how successful and how well they do and what the dog wants to do. He will tell you when he wants to
come home, Gale said. Not all dogs live with handlers. Many live at home with their owners. But at the top level in the dog show world, more than one person owns the dog.
He began his life living with me, but he is owned by all three of us, Gale said. When its time to come home, he comes home to me. Thats the way it is with show dogs. Gale, who used to show horses, became acquainted with dog shows through a friend. After seeing her friend show dogs, she thought to herself, If I can show a 1,500pound horse, I can show a little dog. She said people from all walks of life show dogs, as a hobby and as a sport. Its like a Cinderella story for me, Gale said. I eat, drink and love Sharpie. The dog is the love of my life. These dogs are always our pets first. They are not trophies. Her pet may live away from her, but hell return. My dog has a job, she said.

Improv venue serves up laughs

BLACKTOP COMEDY
Shorties player Jonathan Milby, left, and Aaron LeVenton perform in Blacktop Comedys short-form improv performance on a Saturday night in Roseville.
aul Burke had one goal to achieve when he conceived of the idea for his Roseville business. He wanted to make people laugh. The 40 people who packed into Blacktop Comedys theater on a Saturday evening to see a group of performers known as the Colony would says hes succeeded. I was there, too, to see players, as theyre often called, do some long-form improv, which is a blend of live theater and comedy. The Colony didnt disappoint. The first half of the show involved the audience submitting secrets true or invented on a slip of paper, and picked out at random by

one of the players (there are six total in the group). Theyd read the secret aloud and then immediately launch into a related scene, playing off one
anothers leads. Quite the impressive and hilarious feat to watch, especially for someone like me who had never seen live improv before. As indicated
by the loud laughs and applause, the audience was satisfied with the show. Burke said the theater has developed quite the following. That means we met their expectations and they want to come back, he said. It sounds cheesy, but we want it to feel like a family here. People consider themselves part of a community at Blacktop, Burke said, which is an aspect of improv that initially attracted him to the art form.
I tried stand-up, and it was fun but just felt kind of lonely, he said. Youre on stage by yourself. He took a drop-in improv class in Sacramento and thought hed been absolutely terrible. But as he walked away, two people stopped to tell him hed done well. Thats when Burke knew if he ever started his own theater, hed make a concerted effort to build a supportive environment. He became an improv junkie, attending every festival he could find. He spent six weeks studying the art at iO Theater and the Second City in Chicago, a city known for its comedy scene. That pushed Burke to open up his own theater and he found a small venue in a Roseville business center.
He and his girlfriend, Betsaida LeBron, another performer, brainstormed name ideas when she had an epiphany: blacktop the place where children go to play games and meet new friends. Burke is a member of the Colony and the Shorties, which does shortform improv such as hosting games like those seen on the television show Whose Line is it Anyway? Blacktop always looks for creative ways to engage the audience. But performers will never pick on the audience or force people to participate. Thats our biggest misperception we have to fight but if you want to be part of the show, you definitely can, Burke said.

Our other goal is to raise awareness for music programs in the Eureka (Union) School District, said Emerald Brigade parent and President Brent Van Hoozen. The middle school program was under fire last year and wed hate to see that disappear. It means a lot to these kids. I believe it broadens the horizon for students.

urn the following 13 simple tips into habits and watch as your body transforms.
1) Eat a smart breakfast:
13 easy tips for transforming your body

Deb Skelton
Cereal, pastries, smoothies and juice are all poor choices when it comes to starting your day off right. Center your breakfast on protein and healthy fat, and youll have energy for hours. Try a protein shake, eggs, lean breakfast meat or a handful of nuts. 2) Get more sleep: If youre not getting at least eight hours of sleep each night, then you could use more sleep. This is especially true if youve reached a plateau with weight loss. Give your body the eight hours of sleep each night and
make weight loss easier. 3) Just do it If youre really ready to achieve your best body ever, then dig down deep and commit. As Woody Allen famously said, Eighty percent of success is showing up. This is absolutely true when it comes to fitness. Show up to your workout. Even if youre tired. 4) Plan ahead: Take one day each week to plan your healthy meals for the following week. This small act of planning ahead will keep you on
track with healthy meals even when the week gets crazy busy. 5) Cut out gluten: Many people dont realize they have a certain level of sensitivity to gluten, which causes intestinal inflammation and bloating. Also, gluten-filled foods are typically high in carbohydrates, which contribute to weight gain. When you cut gluten-filled items from your diet, dont fall into the trap of simply replacing those items with other high-carb items. Choose non-packaged, whole foods instead.
6) Believe in yourself:
then you have to believe that it's possible. Give yourself a pep talk and dig down deep for the courage and discipline to apply these healthy changes to your life. 7) Eat less dairy: Dairy products add extra fat and calories. Pass on the dairy and youll eliminate unnecessary calories, making weight loss quicker.
8) Sleep and wake at the same time: This is a
meals even breakfast. The increase in fiber and other nutrients will give your body that extra boost.
10) Ditch packaged food :
appetite and cravings for carbohydrates. In the quest for your best body, put down the diet soda and reach instead for some water.
13) Exercise with purpose: Are you exercising
Throw out those packaged foods! This is one of the easiest things you can do to achieve quicker weight loss results. Packaged foods contain chemicals and additives that will slow fitness results.
11) Drink more water:
powerful way to increase your daily energy. Get your body on a schedule and watch how much more productive and energetic you become.
9) Include veggies at every meal: Make it a
Being hydrated is key when it comes to creating your best body. Drink water throughout your day and limit caffeinated beverages to once daily.
12) Forget artificial sweeteners: Sure, these
as efficiently as possible? Do you challenge your muscles enough during each workout? Are you keeping the routine new and fresh? These are all factors that play a significant role in reaching your fitness goals. Refocus your goals at the beginning of each and every workout session.

theft all that amusing. Perhaps it was because my husband and I have been victims of this crime
and have since become vigilant, which has proven its worth time and again. When I decided to write on identity theft, I realized I could not possibly cover the depth and magnitude of the crime that has mushroomed into several aspects of our lives over the past few
years. Instead, Ill draw attention to the various types of prevalent forms of identity theft and perhaps lead you to think more about being cognizant of protecting your information. There is some valuable information available to consumers on identity theft, and a good place to
start is with the Consumer Information website by the Federal Trade Commission at www. consumer.ftc.gov. This robust, user-friendly site has information on how to protect your identity and what to do if youre a victim, including templates of letters you may need to send creditors to
resolve the issues (I have referenced this website for my article). Besides the more ubiquitous, commonly known identity theft via credit cards and other sources exist three other ways you or a loved one may be victimized:

The IRS will never use email or text to contact you regarding your tax return. Scammers will use these sources and ask for personal information such as your Social Security number.

you have a chance to file your tax return. Of course, when you file, your refund will be denied, as it has already been paid! And youre stuck with the unpleasant task of proving your innocence with the IRS. What could be more taxing than that (pun intended)? Child identity theft: Its difficult to detect theft or fraud when it comes to a childs identity because there are no triggering events such as filing a tax return or applying for employment. And it can go on for several years before its discovered, making the problem that much bigger and complex to resolve. If you suspect something or just want to be certain, get a copy of your credit report. Go to www.annualcredit report.com for a free credit report once every 12 months from each of the three credit report-
ing agencies.
Medical identity theft:
With the growing cost of health care, this particular fraud is one of the fastest growing, but is relatively easy to detect. Be sure to check your Explanation of Benefits or Medicare Summary for the services received and contact your pro-vider if you notice an unfamiliar charge for services performed.

identity is stolen every three seconds in the United States, according to Javelin Strategy and Research and as reported on LifeLock.com. In 2011 alone, more than 11 million adult identities were reported stolen nationwide. Unfortunately, California ranks
third in the highest percapita rate of identities reported stolen in the nation. Without getting paranoid, remember some simple steps you can take to avoid this very unpleasant and cumbersome experience. Of course, using a shredder to shred all documents with any personal information goes without saying. This includes all pre-screened credit card offers. You can opt out of receiving such offers in the mail by calling (888) 567-8688 or visiting www.optoutprescreen. com. Also, make sure to remove or destroy the labels on your prescription pill bottles before throwing them away. For online protection, be leery of scammers
and fraudulent emails. Remove all personal data from computers and phones before disposing of them. Social media such as Facebook can be a place where over-sharing information can lead to problems. Encrypt your data whenever you can. As for passwords, use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, symbols and numbers. Remember: With creditors, youre usually guilty until proven innocent. And in real life, there are fewer happy endings of the Hollywood kind.

Hit them with your best shot: tips for better photographs A
rnold Newman was a famous photographer who popularized the environmental portrait. This style captures subjects in their own surroundings to better depict their personalities and profession. He was a wise and respected man. The most important component of great photography is behind the camera you. Operator error and incompetence is usually to blame for unsatisfying photos. Success in photography comes by paying attention. Notice what youre actually seeing. Decide on your goal what is it that you want to feature? Then, cut out the distractions. Move in as close as possible to include just what

A lot of photographers think that if they buy a better camera theyll be able to take better photographs. A better camera wont do a thing for you if you dont have anything in your head or in your heart. Arnold Newman

you want to have seen. This can be accomplished by using the zoom feature if its impossible to physically move either the camera or the subject. Whats happening with the light? Is there enough? Too much? Too much light can make your subject appear washed out. Because lighting conditions can change minute by minute, often just waiting a bit will improve your photo dramatically. When shooting photos
of people, bright light can make them squint. Try moving into the shade. If thats not possible, have them close their eyes and count to three, then click the shutter immediately when they open them. This can be tricky if your camera has a delay between the time you actually depress the shutter and it releases. Youll have to experiment; you may need to depress the shutter at the count of one or
two, before the people actually open their eyes. That brings up another point: Get to know your camera and how it reacts. What are all those different settings and buttons for, anyway? One important feature on many cameras allows you to control the flash and when it fires. The symbol for flash is usually indicated by a crooked, downward-pointing arrow. Another allows you to do close-ups (called macro) while remaining clear and in focus. This symbol is often a flower. Try looking at your subject from different angles for improved composition. Because nearly everyone uses digital now,
shoot away. Pixels are cheap. Get the shot from every position imaginable. Try getting up on a chair looking down, often a flattering angle for photographing people. Or, get down low by squatting or laying on your belly. Often, the most interesting images are those taken from an unexpected viewpoint. Hold your camera in different positions. Does it make more sense to turn the camera so youre shooting vertically? Notice your straight lines and be deliberate on either keeping the lines straight or making the choice to have them off-kilter. Camera shake due to unsteadiness can really wreck a photo by making it blurry. Use both hands

to hold your camera for increased stability. When holding a point-andshoot, place thumbs on the bottom for support, index fingers on top and curl your other fingers into your palms so they wont obscure the lens. Squeeze with both your thumb and index finger when depressing the shutter button to avoid moving the camera downward by just pressing down with your index finger. Form a human tripod with your body by standing with feet shoulder-width apart, and elbows locked against your body. Exhale and hold your breath briefly while depressing the shutter button. Something as simple as breathing can create enough movement to cause blur. Slow shutter speed also contributes to blurred photos. If you have the ability to change shutter speed on your camera, keep this rule of thumb in mind: Your minimum shutter speed should equal the longest focal length of the lens youre using. For example, if youre using a 70- 200 mm zoom lens, set your shutter speed no less than 1/200th of a second. Remember that what you see in the viewfinder will be replicated in your photos. Choose thoughtfully. Most importantly, practice. And practice some more.

recognizing youth achievement
his month, we would like to recognize a program that has become a prominent part of our community. The game of lacrosse continues to grow across the nation, and this phenomenon is also found in Northern California and especially Granite Bay. The Granite Bay Youth Lacrosse program started in 2004 with about 30 players, ages 13 to 15, two coaches and a rented U-Haul trailer, pulled up from the Bay Area and filled with gear to rent. In eight years, the program has grown to include about 200 players, both girls and boys, encompassing 18 teams, including seven cityleague teams of players
Young lacrosse players show dedication

Russell Postell
ages 9 and under. Today, we want to recognize the dedication and efforts of the players of the program, as these traits are key to the success of lacrosse in Granite Bay. If you live near a school or park in Granite Bay or have been at one in the early evening or on a weekend day, you may hear the bang, bang, bang of a hard rubber ball bouncing against a wall. If you ing pole with a net on it standing at the wall bouncing and catching the ball off the wall for hours at a time. This is known as wall ball and is the most effective form of lacrosse stick skills training. In an effort to continuously grow the skills of the players in the off season and beyond practice sessions, Granite Bay Youth Lacrosse developed the Grizzlies BALL BEAST program. The program is a series of skill workouts done against a wall. The time and effort is purely selfconducted, and up to each individual player. Between October 2012 and February 2013, a group of roughly 80 kids completed 2,500 workouts and more than 1,250 hours of wall practice, dedicating themselves to developing as lacrosse players and skilled athletes. This included the effort of one 10-year-old player, Josh Flanery, who completed more than 600 workouts, which equates to 200 hours of dedication. I spoke with Josh, a fifth-grader, and asked him why he worked so hard. He said, I want to play lacrosse in college at Duke or Virginia. These are two of the nations perennial powerhouse programs and superior academic institutions. When asked what he likes about lacrosse, he said, Seeing other kids that

have not scored a goal score a goal and making the assist to them. I asked Josh what he might be doing if he did not have lacrosse and wall ball. With a look of disdain, he said, Sitting on the couch, watching TV. Now you know the bang, bang, bang you hear in the early evening is a youngster who is not sitting in front of a television or playing video games, but is instead dedicating his or her time to developing as a skilled athlete. Without a doubt, each and every one of these dedicated players is an example of R. Postells Insurance values: Improve the life of one person each day.

Doris Murphy, 83, earned highest Tai Chi rank

BY EILEEN WILSON
Martial arts community remembers senior student

Granite Bay woman who at 83 years old earned her black fringe, the highest rank a Tai Chi practitioner can achieve, passed away of cancer on March 13. Doris Murphy had lived in Granite Bay for 53 years and her house illustrated her love of the martial art, as medals ranging from the size of a nickel to the size of a baseball hung from the furniture. I liked Tai Chi right away, Murphy told the View shortly before her death. But, Ive always liked to exercise. Murphy had practiced the ancient art for seven years with her instructor, Ron Dillman, and her friends at Extreme Martial Arts in Granite Bay and Roseville. I was walking along, just
Granite Bay resident Doris Murphy looks at the black fringe she earned in Tai Chi before passing away of cancer at 83 years old on March 13. The black fringe is the highest rank a practitioner of the martial art can achieve.
minding my own business, Murphy said. No, really I had belonged to Curves for a couple of years, and I decided that I wanted to try something different. As I was advanced in age, I thought it would be good to do something to keep my mind active. The energetic octogenarian
found an activity she loved, and pursued it with a passion. She immediately started earning sashes and fringes. According to Sifu (master) Dillman, no one worked harder than Murphy. Doris participated in many competitions, from here to San Francisco, and in many workshops, he said, prior to her
death. We love her. Shes an absolute inspiration. In Tai Chi, Murphy found a way to strengthen her bodys muscle memory. She loved attending seminars and learning as much as she could. Theres a lot of practice, a lot of memorization, she said. You can learn the different forms, but it can take years to perfect them. Strengthening her core muscles through Tai Chi helped Murphy recover from injuries. She especially enjoyed the discipline involved. Its a lot of fun, Ive enjoyed the camaraderie and Tai Chi teaches respect to practitioners of all ages, she said. Murphy was instrumental in establishing a program that teaches Tai Chi to seniors at Eskaton Lodge Granite Bay, but her real goal was always to earn her black fringe a goal stopped short with a terminal cancer diagnosis in Novem-
ber. Enter Dillman, who helped make her dream come true. She was so close to achieving the black fringe. It (was) very meaningful to her, Dillman said. We sped up the process for her. This meant special tests of Murphys skills, and counting the hours she spent sewing peoples fringes onto sashes for them over the years. The process included help from family members. She leaves behind five children, 11 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Murphy was known for her love of sharing Tai Chi and the important lesson the art brings to mind and body with others. Its too bad everyone doesnt know about Tai Chi, she told the View. No matter our age or our health, just holding a pose and practicing deep breathing, you will really feel good.

Granite Bay resident turns 100

Mina Gabler, of Granite Bay, celebrated her 100th birthday March 15.
Gabler amazes her family with her spirit and zest for life. She reads every day and stays up on current events. In her 90s, she built a cinderblock retaining wall on a hill behind her San Carlos home, one block at a time. An immigrant from
Germany, she came to America in the early 1930s and raised three children with her husband, Louie. She has six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Despite all the attention they try to give her, she brushes it off and says not to fuss.

Grass Valleys historic downtown beckons

GRANITE BAY VIEW
Explore the Gold Rush towns antique shops, festivals

BY SENA CHRISTIAN
oad trips really work out well for me, seeing as how I always whine my way out of driving and instead get to sit back, sip my vanilla latte and bore the captive driver and any fellow passengers with my fascinating conversation. Or, as they might call it, my incessant chatting. Its a win-win for everyone involved, wouldnt you agree? I am often eager to hit the pavement for a day away from real life, and downtown Grass Valley has become my new favorite go-to destination for a mini trip, especially during the spring, when the warm weather beckons me to the explore this historic Gold Rush town. Located a mere hour drive from my home in Roseville, Grass Valley is nestled off Highway 49 in the Sierra Foothills and only a few miles from Nevada City another special treat of a small town. On a warm day in March, my fianc and I decided to venture to Grass Valley for a brief jaunt. We spent the afternoon walking around downtown with our dog, Buster. Bringing along a furry companion prohibited my perusing inside the several antique shops, which is always on the top of my list of things to do anywhere I go. Cash registers in the boutiques and novelty shops in Grass Valley had
Grass Valleys downtown boasts wine tasting rooms, antique shops, clothing boutiques and a historic theater, giving visitors plenty to do.

The Holbrooke on Main Street in downtown Grass Valley was established in 1851 for the influx of Gold Rush pioneers. Today, visitors can enjoy a drink in the saloon, a bite to eat in the restaurant or spend the night in what some say is a haunted hotel.

already been the recipients of plenty of my money over the years, so I had no problem keeping my wallet safely tucked away. In fact, Grass Valley and Nevada City are two of my regular stops for Christmas shopping. But Ive yet to attend the annual Cornish Christmas Celebration, when downtown Grass Valley comes alive for three hours every Friday night from late November through midDecember with holidaythemed, old-fashioned festivities. At this years
celebration, there will be carolers, jugglers, musicians, a choir and handmade arts and crafts. Mark your calendars: Nov. 22. to Dec. 20. Speaking of outdoor festivities, the Old West Antiques Show takes place Friday, May 10, and Saturday, May 11, at the Nevada City Fairgrounds in Grass Valley. Maybe Ill see you there! I also visit places that sell new stuff, including The Book Seller, an independent bookstore on Mill Street in downtown.
Worn out from shopping, Ill typically stop by Carolines Coffee Roasters on Auburn Street. This family owned business makes coffee, and helps you perfect your own cup a Joe at home, with a variety of brewing tools and French presses for sale. One of the best characteristics of Grass Valley: Theres so much located in the downtown core, with lots to see. And the area isnt yet overrun by tourists. When I go there, I feel like Im hobnobbing with the locals and its easy to get a seat at the dining establishments without a long wait. For dinner, visitors can choose from several options in downtown, including eateries featuring my three favorite food genres:
Thai, Mexican and Italian. One of my usual stops is Cirinos At Main Street, located in a restored Gold Rush-era building, and which claims to specialize in lamb, veal, seafood and steaks. I cant vouch for the claims truthfulness. Im a vegetarian. But I can vouch for Cirinos lovely vibe and unpretentious date-night atmosphere. Although Grass Valley is perfect for a day trip, I often enjoy spending the night in this laid-back city of 13,000 residents. I have spent several nights in the some say, haunted Holbrooke, a historic hotel, complete with a saloon and restaurant. Knowing I wont have to hop in the car and drive back home (and by that, I
mean, someone else wont have to drive me), means I can enjoy a drink or two at any of the downtowns several bars. I especially like the Owl Grill and Saloon a great environment for engaging in existential conversations with complete strangers while sipping an Alabama Slammer. Or, if you plan ahead, check out an evening show at the 950-seat Veterans Memorial Building in downtown. The Grass Valley Center for the Arts hosts concerts at this venue throughout the year. I saw singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile there in August, and had a thoroughly fun time.
