O
lympic skater Scott Hamiltons quote, The only
disability in life is a bad attitude is something
we all need to remember, as were only limited by
our thoughts and attitudes. This epitomizes one partic-
ular inspirational person from my past, who will also
inspire you. Although shes from my past, our paths
have once again crossed since her parents are now Lin-
coln residents. This is about overcoming limitations, a
positive attitude, teaching children about diversity and
how far we can get in life
through the support of those
around us.
We met in San Jose, during
our freshman year in high
school. I know that even
today, she doesnt truly real-
ize how she affects so many
who know her. She never
allowed any limitations to
deter her from accomplish-
ing all her goals.
As a teenager, I thought
there wasnt anything she
couldnt do. Like so many
teens, I always felt average,
i.e. not having anything in particular I was good at,
always searching for where I belonged, wishing I was
more.
It didnt matter where we went or what we did, she
always walked as if she was 10 feet tall, and by being
with her, I felt like I wasnt quite so average. The irony
lies in the fact that she is only 3 feet, 10 inches tall.
Debbie Carrington was about 4 years old before any-
one knew she was not going to be of average height.
It was great because there was no biased, no over-
protectiveness. I was like everyone else for those first
years, Carrington explained. I was fortunate enough

Debbie Carrington visits
her parents at their home
in Lincoln. Carrington
encourages today's youth
to make a positive
difference by offering
assistance to those in need.
Attitude +
humor +
perseverance =
inspiration
to have parents who supported me and
didnt let me think for a minute there
wasnt something I couldnt do.
That support was evident every time
I visited them. It was amazing to walk
into their house because her father,
Fred, always made sure all of his chil-
drens friends were welcomed into a
supportive environment. I still smile
when I remember how he used to call
us The Double Debs.
Carringtons attitude set her apart
from so many individuals Ive known
and made her disability almost invis-
ible. When I asked how she dealt with
questions about her being a Little Per-
son [the correct term for someone who
is 4 feet 10 inches or less], Carrington
explained that using humor gave her
the upper hand.
I remember kids asking why I was
small. Id say, Because my mom acci-
dentally threw me into the dryer with a
load of clothes, and I shrank, Carring-
ton said. I was a kid; I didnt know why
I was small so Id make stuff up to make
them laugh.
As an adult, she now gives simplistic
explanations to children: God makes
everyone different. You have blue
eyes/brown hair; youre going to grow
tall and Im going to stay short.
Parents are really supportive of the
explanation, Carrington said. I some-
times see them being concerned when
their child approaches me and I tell
them that its OK to be up front about
it.

How the childrens
questions are answered
will affect their opinions
of a Little Person, accord-
ing to Carrington.
If the first interaction
they have with a Little
Person is one where I
snap back at them, they
have a bad first impres-
sion, Carrington said.
First impressions are
very important and chil-
dren deserve to know the
truth.
Growing up, Carrington
had to endure dealing
with bullies.
Its nice to see that now
theyre [parents and
schools] teaching diversi-
ty and acceptance instead
of it being OK to tease
kids, Carrington said.
While she remembers
one bully in particular,
Carrington also fondly
remembers a grade-
school heroine.
Gloria (the only black
girl in school) would wear
a pin that said Im Black
and Im Proud. She took
me under her wing and
palled around with me
and would protect me,
Carrington said. She was
an outgoing person and
would stick up for me a
lot.
Carrington encourages
todays youth to make a
positive difference. When
they see someone differ-
ent, they should offer
assistance.
If you see someone
eating lunch alone, join
them. I always try to help
others and people try to
help me, Carrington
said.
Obstacles plague all of
us but physical limita-
tions pose other chal-
lenges.
My mom was such an
advocate for me, proudly
exclaimed Carrington.
To emphasize that
point, Carrington said, I
wanted to try out for
cheerleading but they
didnt have uniforms in
my size so my mom made
mine. She never let me
think I wasnt going to
succeed or she was wast-
ing her time working on
it.
Without Marty Carring-
tons efforts, her daughter
wouldnt have been one of
Blackford Highs cheer-
leaders.
If a shot existed that
would make her taller,
Carringtons mother once
asked her, would she take
it?
No, because I know
whats its like to be short,
Carrington said. Instead
of being tall, Id rather
float.
Carrington was refer-
ring to the graduation
requirement of having to
pass a floating test during
swim class her senior
year. Again, because of
her mothers persistence
in standing up for her
daughters rights and
bringing awareness to her
physical limitations, Car-
rington obtained special
accommodations and
passed the class.
As parents, we all want
our children to learn how
to stand up for them-
selves but every child also
deserves to have their
parent be an advocate
such as Marty Carrington
was for her daughter.
Next month, the Lin-
coln View looks at Car-
ringtons ability to over-
come obstacles and realize
her dream to become an
actress who worked
alongside some of the
most famous actors in
Hollywood.

YESTERDAYS NEWS
Lincoln and Rocklin
have food-truck events
once a month that
encourage residents of
each town to congregate
to a specific area of their
city.
SactoMofo produces
street food events
throughout the Sacra-
mento region, according
to its website, and is the
exclusive producer of the
Lincoln and Rocklin Food
Truck events.
If you think that these
food trucks are the roach
coaches of the past, you
are definitely mistaken.
According to Forbes Mag-
azine, food trucks were
the No. 1 small-business
opportunity in 2011. Hav-
ing attended both the Lin-
coln and Rocklin events,
Ive witnessed first-hand
how these roundups have
entertainment and food
that are geared toward the
family and community.
Rocklins event had a
number of sponsors with
booths set up that allowed
visitors to shop for
information on new
banks, solar, Internet and
a variety of other services.
Families with young
children had the opportu-
nity to allow the kids to
play on the parks play
structures and feast on
hot dogs and ice cream.
Even bacon lovers
could arrive at the park
and have their appetite
satisfied.
Put on by the city of
Rocklin, the food trucks
roll in on the fourth
Thursday of each month,
from 5 to 8 p.m. for the
Food Truck Mania event.
Johnson-Springview
Park is an area with plenty
of room of childrens
inflatables, vendors, and
lawn space to enjoy the
delicious food and won-
derful live entertainment.
At 7:30, Tim the Trivia
Master even has a con-
test to win truck bucks.
Lincolns food-truck
event is held on the first
Tuesday of each month, at
Beerman Plaza and Fifth
Street from 5 to 8 p.m. The
Downtown Lincoln Asso-
ciation is in its second
year of putting on this
event and recently
brought SactoMofo as the
food vendor.
Having Lincolns event
held downtown is an
opportunity for patrons to
visit some of Lincolns
shops, as well as restau-
rants.
Something unique that
Lincoln offers is a beer
garden for the 21-and-
over residents. It has
proved very popular this
year, and while the kids
are getting their shaved

ice, mom and dad can have an ice cold
beer to go along with dinner.
With chairs set up in the plaza, its a
great place to congregate with your
friends or make some new friends. The
Downtown Lincoln Association partners
with another nonprofit organization at
each event to bring awareness to the
charitable organization.
Whether it has been Relay for Life or
various school groups, the food truck
event is an excellent forum in which to
enjoy a great meal and be introduced to
nonprofit organizations that can use the
towns support.
When I see one of these food trucks, I
chuckle when I remember the food
truck that used to visit where I worked 30
years ago. You know the kind of truck ...
food that had as much variety as the plain
white truck itself, with one of those horns
that played a tune so loud you could hear
it inside the building. If you havent had a
meal from a food truck since those days,
do yourself a favor and visit Rocklin on
the fourth Thursday of the month or Lin-
coln on the first Tuesday of the month.
Bring your wallet and your appetite!
Beerman Plaza is the site for Lincoln's Food
Truck event, the first Tuesday of every month.
The band Branded entertained visitors of the event in June.

eing in the drought that we are, we may
think that were going to have an endless
summer.
But, alas, the kids soon go back to school,
summer vacations are a memory and the malls
will be filled with holiday shoppers before we
know it.
Lets have one last party to get together with
friends and family, and enjoy some delicious
food that is easy to make and wont keep you in
the kitchen for hours on end.
Trust me, these are both crowd pleasers, and
one in particular will have your visitors talking
about it for weeks (thats what happened when I
made it)!
Who doesnt love pizza? A pizza pull apart is
easy, fast and can be customized to include your
vegetarian friends.
Pizza Pull Apart
INGREDIENTS:
2 cans of pizza dough or biscuits (I made some home-
made pizza dough in the bread maker)
2 cups Mozzarella cheese
1 cup Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons of parsley flakes
1/3 cup olive oil
1 6 oz package of pepperoni (we used the turkey and
only used 1/2 package)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
DIRECTIONS:
Pull dough into bite size pieces. Cut the pepper-
oni into smaller pieces. Mix all the ingredients in a
bowl and toss so that the oil is spread evenly. Put
into greased pan and spread evenly. Bake for
about 35 minutes at 350 degrees (or until the top
is brown and the center is thoroughly cooked).
TIP: Be sure to check it in the middle before you
pull it out. If the middle is still not cooked thor-
oughly, be sure to continue baking and check it
every five minutes until its done. Flip over on to a
plate while its still hot. I used a Bundt cake pan but
you could use a regular 913 baking dish as well.
Serve with marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
Pizza Pull Apart is an easy appetizer to take to the final
barbecue of the summer. By adding pepperoni or a combi-
nation pizza full of fixings, it's sure to be devoured in no
time. Maybe you better make two!

Sand Pudding
INGREDIENTS:
1 package Vanilla Wafers
3 or 4 Oreos
8 oz Cream Cheese
1/4 C Butter
2/3 C powdered sugar (I actually used about half of this amount)
2 small packages of Vanilla pudding mix (or any flavor you like)
2 3/4 C Milk
12 oz Cool Whip
DIRECTIONS:
Crush Oreos and Vanilla Wafers in a food processor. In a sepa-
rate bowl, cream together softened 8 oz. cream cheese, butter
and powdered sugar. In another bowl, mix pudding with milk.
Add to cream cheese mixture. Fold in cool whip. Layer into
buckets with sand, pudding, sand, etc.
I made this for a barbe-
cue last month and friends
are still talking about it.
Between the presentation
and the taste, you are
going to come out as a
gourmet guru. Its particu-
larly fun if you can put it in
a container that is some-
what transparent. There
wasnt a kid in the bunch
but every adult who saw
this and tasted it acted as if
they were 5 years old
because it brought out the
kid in all of us.
Sand Pudding brings out the kid in all of us. No one will
believe that it's not really sand on the top. The small
amount of Oreo cookies with the box of Vanilla Wafers
is what gives it the realistic color and texture. For a little
more realism, add a couple of seashells to the top.

nity Foundation is a
group of approxi-
mately a dozen residents
whose mission statement
is to cultivate Lincoln
philanthropy and stew-
ardship for today and
tomorrow.
According to President
Susan Cope, the group
was founded in the early
2000s and received its
nonprofit status in 2004.
In the last couple of
years, they have created
events and activities for
the community that has
caused the awareness of
their group to erupt.
When it was con-
ceived, the purpose of the
foundation was that we
would have a trust and
any interest earned from
that trust would be grant-
ed to other nonprofit
projects within the West-
ern Placer Unified School
District, said Cope, in
her second year as presi-
dent. The trust was orig-
inally seeded by the city of
Lincoln, and since then,
any growth to the trust
has been done by
fundraisers. A fundraiser
they had earlier this year
proved to be such a suc-
cess that they are repeat-
ing it in August, and
already have another
scheduled for next
March.
As Luck Would Have It
Bingo will be at the
McBean Pavilion on Aug.
22, in conjunction
with the Friends of Lin-
coln Library. The Friends
will do all the cooking for
the fundraiser.
The Foundation grants
money for Mother Goose
on the Loose on a consis-
tent basis so its nice to
have them partner with
us on the Bingo event,
Cope said.
Doors open Aug. 22 at
5:30 p.m., at which time
dinner may be purchased
and Bingo starts at 7 p.m.
This event is for those
who are 21 and over, and
the buy-in is $25 for a
game packet of 12 bingo
cards. In addition to Bin-
go, the Foundation will
also host the first Choco-
late Lovers Festival in Lin-
coln! This is an event
unlike anything that this
town has seen in genera-
tions. There will be a com-
petition of chocolate
cakes for pros and ama-
teurs, activities for kids,
chocolate sculpting and a
cookbook featuring
chocolate recipes from
your fellow Lincoln resi-
dents.
The Chocolate Lovers
Festival will also partner
with a Chocolate Lovers
Ball on Friday, Oct. 10 and
other activities that will
happen throughout town
the week leading up to the
decadent event.
The festival is designed
for the entire family and
youll hear more about it
as the October event date
approaches.
Funds the Foundation
raises from these com-
munity events goes into
the trust and the interest
made off those funds is
what can be granted to
nonprofit organizations,
according to Cope.
The more funds we
raise means the more
interest we get and the
more interest we can give
away, Cope said.
Cope explained how
the grant process works:

We opened Country Harvest because of our love and
appreciation of Placer Countys many farms, ranches and
small locally-owned businesses. We sell and promote
products from several local farms and businesses in our
area. This includes olive oil, balsamic vinegar, gourmet
mustard, BBQ sauce, granola, cooking sauces, and our
very own selection of homemade jams. We have hand
crafted soaps and natural organic lavender products.
We sell farm-fresh produce that we grow ourselves along
with produce from other farms. Our menu items consist of
locally grown fruits and vegetables prepared with the
products we sell here at Country Harvest. We are currently
creating a new light, fresh, organic vegetarian menu. This
fall, Country Harvest will offer custom made seasonal
cakes. Our summertime Fruit Basket Cake consists of
layers of white cake, Chantilly cream and an abundance of
fresh fruit. This fall, we will feature a traditional Christmas
Yule Log complete with delicious meringue mushrooms. As
always, our famous BEST EVER carrot cake with cream
cheese frosting will be available year round.
We feel that all small towns need to have an old
fashioned candy store too. Coming soon, we will be
featuring a variety of different candies from taffy, suckers,
jaw breakers and classic nostalgic candies. Country
Harvest will also have fresh fruits dipped in chocolate.
Join us for our special GRAND OPENING
CELEBRATION on Saturday, August 23rd from 10am to
4pm!

The grants open in September
and are open to anyone in
WPUSD. The nonprofit can
request up to $3,500 for their
project and we have require-
ments that each recipient must
meet. We try to work with as
many people as possible and
assist in the application process.
Cope pointed out that each
recipient will have a follow up
report that needs to be complet-
ed that shows how the funds
were used.
The Foundation is looking for
projects that benefit a wide
range of residents and we are
trying to fill a notch in helping
groups out who cant get funding
through other sources, accord-
ing to Cope.
Although projects the Founda-
tion orchestrates may seem to
appear out of nowhere and the
group may seem as mystifying as
the Great and Powerful Oz,
there is no mystery as to the suc-
cess of the Foundation or its
events.
The members success lies in
the fact that this group is made
up of residents who have the
heart and passion to make Lin-
coln a place where we all love to
live and a place where others
wish they live.

As Luck Would Have It Bingo is coming back on Aug. 22. When the Lincoln Community Foundation put it on in March, the
event was hugely successful. Judging from the crowds in March, you may want to get there early to guarantee seats.

ant to spice up the gar-
den for a future dinner
party? Consider adding
fun flower accents. Metal flower
sculptures such as daisy bouquet
stakes, hollyhock stem stakes or
aluminum fiddleheads add color
throughout the season.
Or make it fun with faucet han-
dle flowers (gardeners.com), which
are sure to spark some conversa-
tion.
You can also add extra color with
a bit of floral paint. Use garden col-
ors to paint seedheads of flowers
past their prime. Just cover the
stem and leaves to ensure only the
seedheads get painted for a more
realistic look.
Or stop by your local garden cen-
ter. Many have flowering planters
and large annuals you can use to
fill in voids and punch up the col-
ors in the garden.
Pot a few of these to use as cen-
terpieces when entertaining in the
garden. Garage sales and thrift
stores are great places to find rea-
sonably priced fun items you can
convert into containers.
Use fans to keep mosquitoes at
bay. Mosquitoes are weak fliers and
the gentle breeze of a fan can keep
them away. Or step it up with the
help of geranium oil. Its natural,
fragrant and can help repel mos-
quitoes.
Be sure to include fresh-from-
the-garden flavor in your bever-
ages and dishes. A pot of basil or
mint near the party means guests
can flavor their own lemonade tea
or mojito. The hollow stem of
lovage, cut down to size makes a

Then add some color and a gour-
met touch to your salads with a few
edible flowers. Nasturiums, roses and
calendulas are a few to consider. Just
be sure they are edible and pesticide-
free before serving them to your
guests.
Use fresh-from-the-garden or con-
tainer herbs for grilling, salads and
the main course. Consider drying a
few herbs or starting cuttings from
your plants to use as party favors.
Dont let the sunset put an end to
your celebration. Light up the
evening with solar illuminated
planters, solar pathway lighting and
decorative fiber optic lights. Or go old
school and set votive candles in a
mason jar or tucked safely in the gar-
den. Solar light-
ing in your
garden can
keep your
party going
long after
sunset.

Its that time of year again!
Yes, back to school.
Going back to school can come with many different
emotions: excited, stressed, anxious and over-
whelmed.
But not to worry, we have all the best tips to make
the return to school as easy as possible.
Buy school supplies early - Purchase your childs
binder, pens, notebooks and more a couple weeks
before school starts to avoid the stress of last-
minute shopping.
Head back to school in style - If your budget
allows. consider purchasing new shoes and a new
backpack. Also, pick up the essential clothing
items, such as new tees and jeans.
Be lunch ready - Stock up on
healthy snacks and foods
that are quick and easy
to pack in the morn-
ing. Dont forget the
Tupperware
and ice boxes.
Make a study
area - Set up a
place at home where
your child can work on
their homework.
Having an area set
up for studying
allows children to
stay focused and be
more productive.
Schedule a doctors
visit - Make sure your
child is healthy and up to

time and money on gas by
taking turns driving. Plus
this way, classmates can

deep breath and stay
organized by making note
of what you have to do.
Get back in the routine -
Summer was full of late
nights and irregular meal
times. Get back on sched-
ule to make the adjust-
ment easier, come the first
day of school.
Clean up around the
house - With such a busy
schedule ahead of you,
take time now to straight-

Youll appreciate coming
home to a clean house
after a long day.
School occupies a third
of your children's time

for as long as she
can remember.
Ever since I was a little
girl, I was out gardening,
so Ive always been inter-
ested in plants and ani-
mals, she said. Then in
college I majored in land-
scape architecture and got
licensed as a landscape
architect with the state of
California and did that for
a while. Then I always
wanted to have a garden
shop. Finally I decided to
do it and opened Avant-
garden in 2001.
Two years ago Wright
expanded to include an
upstairs gift shop facing
onto Lincoln Way.
Specializing in contain-
er gardens made sense for
the shops small space.
My idea was that peo-
ple could buy the ones I

mimic what I did buy the
plants and put them into their
own pots, she said. The thing I
like about container gardening
is you can put them close to
where you are living bring
them into the living space. Also
you can change them seasonal-
ly so they are always looking dif-
ferent and fresh like flower
arrangements only longer last-
ing.
What are the basic steps in
assembling the contents of a con-
tainer garden?
In the bottom I put broken
pottery so the potting soil
doesnt go out but it still drains.
There are plastic screens you
can buy that do the same thing.
If you have a really large pot, you
can put in Styrofoam packing
peanuts so you dont have to fill
the whole thing with potting
soil. But I usually fill the whole
thing with potting soil.
The most important part of
good container gardening is to
get good quality potting soil. You
have to look at the ingredients.
You can usually tell by the
price the more expensive
ones are (almost always) better.
There are different types of
potting soil. This time of year
with the drought you can buy
potting soil called water hold,
which has (ingredients) to hold
the water longer. But in the win-
ter youll need to change it out
because, once it starts raining, it
will make the plants too water-
logged.
What do you recommend for
plant selection?
Usually one of the things they
say kind of over used is
there is a thriller, a filler and a
spiller. You put something in the
center or toward the back that is
a bold statement a tall spiky
plant or something with large,
bold leaves thats the thriller.
The filler would be something
puffy that takes up a lot of space
but doesnt necessarily hang
over. The spiller hangs over the
side of the pot.
Its a good idea to use different
textures and sizes. You may also
want to repeat a color to tie the
entire look together. For exam-
ple, sometimes if Im using a
chartreuse color leaf, Ill repeat
that color in another place in the
pot so there is some coherence.
Sometimes I include objects
such as a statue for added inter-
est or gourds to make it seasonal.
Are there some things you
would do differently in a con-
ventional garden?
I would probably normally in
my garden use some sort of
organic fertilizers to build up
the soil. In a pot you already
have the soil structure with pot-
ting soil. You want to be able to
keep nutrients in that pot as
much as you can, so you want to
use the granular slow-release
type of fertilizer.
Is it OK to plant in a container
that does not have drainage
holes?
Yes, you can for indoor plants.
But you have to be careful not
to over water. Thats the big
thing. Ive heard of people
doing things like putting in an
ice cube so it slowly melts over
(the pot). You wouldnt use that
type of pot for outdoors
because when it rains, it will
flood your plant. Plants have to
have air to the roots to live. If
you flood it, you are basically
drowning it.
One type that does do well in
pots without drainage holes is
bog plants. They grow on the
edges of ponds and are used to
having their roots totally satu-
rated all the time. Examples
would be creeping Jenny,
arrowhead, papyrus and some
of the rushes.
What plants are particularly
suited for containers?
You always have to be aware of
how big a plant gets. Some plants
get too big to do that well in a
container unless it is a huge
container. Thats probably the
most limiting thing. Otherwise,
you can pretty much grow every-
thing.
What about trees and vegeta-
bles?
Dwarf trees do well in con-
tainers. Vegetables particular-
ly the dwarf variety do well,
too.
I have some vegetables potted
right now, including a special
variety of tomato called Tum-
bling Tom in some hanging bas-
kets. Its a cherry tomato variety
and made to spill over.

graduates of the inaugural
Leadership Lincoln class.
The graduates are Annalisa
Bor, Brian Leibundguth, Carol
Witten, Cathi Ruff, Jennifer
Merino, Sherry Adair, Wayne

Each of them spoke for a cou-
ple of minutes about their expe-
rience and all of them were
effusive in their praise of the
program.
As a team project, they com-
pleted a video about the com-
munity of Lincoln. We invite
you to enjoy it by going to
http://vimeo.com/99139929 or
you can access it from the
chamber website at lincoln-
chamber.com and look for the

nity.

sidered for the 2014-15 Lincoln
