ou all likely remember reading about my dog, Buster, in our last pet-themed View in May 2013. How could you not? Have you seen his face?! Buster is so cute that I cant help but feel slightly uneasy whenever my significant other goes out in public with our dog without me because that fluffy little guy rocking his under bite and Ewokinspired look is a major chick magnet. Whenever I meet a fellow animal lover, I automatically assume this person must be a decent human being full of compassion and kindness. I have no actual science to back this up. But I guess I imagine it to be the opposite of how when a kid grows up to be a sociopath, everyone is
like, Oh, well, yeah he did enjoy torturing defensiveness animals during his childhood Naturally, my response when someone doesnt automatically take to Buster: What is wrong with that person? So when I meet people who devote much of their lives to providing care to, and finding forever homes for, cats and dogs, I immediately like them. But pets arent the only animals that could use some rescuing wildlife could, too. In this issue of the View, youll read about how two local nonprofit groups conduct the challenging work of rescuing and

rehabilitating animals (see page 12). That includes Kindred Spirits Fawn Rescue in Loomis, which expects to take in even more baby deer this year due to lack of water and vegetation caused by Californias drought. And theres Gold Country Wildlife Rescue in Auburn, which is run solely by volunteers. I value all animals. But no one tops Buster!

This isnt Chesters first drought. In the business for more than three decades, the Capital Landscape owner has seen his share of both dry and inclement weather. But being water-wise is definitely a trend and a money-saving, smart idea regardless of the regions weather patterns. Xeriscaping is gaining in popularity, and its easy to see why. The average American household uses 320 gallons of water daily, and about 30 percent of that goes to outdoor uses, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. With xeriscaping, which limits turf and uses plants native to the area, water usage can be cut by more than half. This type of yard requires less maintenance than typical landscaping and provides habitat for area wildlife. Xeriscape is a theme right now we
can use drought-tolerant plants and drip systems, resulting in water use that is equal to what you would use in a yard thats a quarter of the propertys size, Chester said. Seeing is believing when you observe one of Capital Landscapes designs. One of the companys finest masterpieces is located in Granite Bay Hills, which includes original oaks, as well as oak trees that were brought in using a crane. Capital put everything on drip systems, which has resulted in significant water conservation. Were setting up projects where we are saving 40 percent on water, or more, Chester said. Visiting a Capital-designed back yard on a recent afternoon, its easy to see why the company has been creating dream landscapes for about 30 years and has
more than 10,000 yards under its belt. With licensed and accredited landscape architects on staff, as well as financing plans, Capitals projects can be found in the smallest of yards to the grandest estates. Its clear that Rocco, a friendly dog in the Granite Bay Hills community, was enjoying himself on a rainy Friday afternoon. Creating an outdoor space thats right for pet owners is just one of many things Capital considers when creating its designs. There needs to be a place for the dog to do his business, Chester said. And there are great looking grass mixtures that will hide any discoloration to the grass. From dog habitats fit for Fido, to planting the most tempting cat-friendly grass (and avoiding ground materials that

dog can be an important source of companionship for a single person, a common object of affection for a couple and a stress-reliever in a family. But a furry friend can also amp up the tension in a home when hes ripping up the couch. Dog obedience or dog behavior training can be the key to unlocking the full potential of a canine companion. A trained dog is so much more fun for you and your family than an untrained dog, said local trainer Don Kirkish, owner of Wag Time Dog Training in Antelope. Area trainers offer a variety of dog training options, from inhome consultations, to group classes, to free community events, such as socialization walks on Miners Ravine Trail off Sierra College Boulevard.

Wag Time Dog Training

Kirkish travels to the homes of dogs in the Sacramento area and teaches owners how to make their dogs obey basic commands, such as sit and stay. The trainer also works with dogs and owners in limiting unwanted lifestyle behaviors, like chewing or jumping.
He explained the dogs perspective when a new person enters the home. Anybody that comes in the house is coming to see them, Kirkish said. Every movement is a new invitation to them. Kirkish said he works to build up the relationship between the dog and his human companion, while preserving
the dogs inherent personality. Trainers vary in their usage of positive and negative dog training approaches and different tools, such as collars. Kirkish trains by voice and hand commands only no treats, or shock or prong collars. He said an advantage of voice training is that a dog responds even when he is not looking at his owner.

If you start with a confident, well-socialized dog everything else can be fixed later. In day training, she works with dogs on their individual issues during the day and owners take them home at night. Kerfoot shared her training philosophy, which includes some use of deterrents as appropriate. We are very much into what works for the dogs and what the owners are comfortable using when it comes to training equipment, she said.

Kays Dog Training and Socialization Group

Area trainer Kay Gramm leads free dog socialization walks, organized through Meetup.com, for dogs that need work on impulse control around other dogs. Human and dog handling teams recently have walked at Miners Ravine Trail and Maidu Park in Roseville. The walks provide owners and dogs opportunities to work on feeling comfortable together in their surroundings, which is a key to keeping dogs in families and out of shelters, Gramm said. Participants first go on a 1.5-mile hike along the trail. After that, handling pairs line up in the parking lot to practice giving and responding to commands. Local trainer Aaron Wood helps lead the dog socialization walks. He also offers dog obedience and Canine Good Citizen classes through his company, Intuitive Dog Training of Roseville.

Trainer Nola Jones runs high-energy, high-performing dogs through their paces at her six-acre dog university west of Roseville, off Riego Road in Pleasant Grove.

Fish and Wildlife to get licensed and permitted to run the fawn rescue on her 5-acre property. Nicholas helps injured, sick and orphaned baby deer during fawn season, which typically runs from April to November. She runs the only fawn rescue in Placer County. Her facility also serves Nevada, Sacramento and Yolo counties.
In 2013, she took in 152 fawns and expects even more this year as a result of the lack of water and vegetation from the statewide drought. Being part of the wildlife rehabilitation program has touched my heart in so many ways, Nicholas said. Assisting a helpless fawn recover from the trauma of an injury or providing the
care and nourishment for an orphaned baby is the most amazing experience. Nicholas said despite the long hours and the failures that sometimes occur in attempting to reintroduce a fawn into the wild, it doesnt get any better than this. For more information, visit www.kindredspiritfawnrescue.org.

Great Dane Rescue of Northern California

Great Danes are large and live an average of eight years. But in that relatively short lifespan, this dog breed manages to bring much happiness to their human companions, as they are known as gentle giants for their sweet disposition. Theyre also known for being good around children and not needing much exercise. Founded in 1987 and based in Granite Bay, the nonprofit Great Dane Rescue of Northern California aims to find homes for these surrendered or stray dogs; the group has rescued about 100 of these dogs over the past two years. Founder Colleen Leahy meets with the party interested in adopting for an interview going through a checklist of items to

article looking for volunteers to work with wildlife 15 years ago, shortly after she had moved to the foothills from the Bay Area. She decided to work with songbirds she admired their grace and beauty. Over the years I have taken hundreds of hours of classes, learning to be the best wildlife rehabilitator I can be, Powers said. Knowing that the birds I cared for would have died if left in the wild, I felt like I was giving these tiny creatures a second chance at life. You cant save them all, but when you do save a bluebird or a robin, or a tiny hummingbird and watch it fly back to its natural environment, you have such a feeling of joy knowing you saved a life. For that one bird you made a huge difference. Powers said individuals can make a difference in the well-being of wild creatures, and both parties benefit from the relationship. Fellow volunteer Kari Freidig agrees. Wild animals have an amazing amount of courage, Freidig said. They have a strong instinct to survive. They overcome huge obstacles and help us remember that we are all part of the same community. Leon McKie, president of the organization, said working with orphaned and injured wildlife is very rewarding. I believe there is a intrinsic human need to be responsible stewards of wildlife and the planet that we share, he said. The continued health and vitality of our native wildlife not only reassures us that there is still balance and harmony in the world; it reminds us that we are all connected. What we do to the land and the wild ones who live among us, we do to ourselves.

Nestled in her breathtaking and naturally landscaped backyard in Granite Bay, Lisa Frankel Wade has what she believes to be a grinding rock with four distinct spots indicating perhaps the aforementioned imagery really did exist in the history of this land. Whenever I am near this sacred grinding stone, I am energized and I feel my calling to gather community in my home to grind acorns together, Wade said. Aiming to expose people to different elements of art, healing and teaching, Wade hosts guests to share their stories and wisdom with others from soulful cooking and vocalist
which were created with Wades own two hands. Lisa is a person who gives back to others by opening up her heart to the world, and shares her passion for the world, with the world, said Cara Wilson-Granat, author, inspirational speaker, storyteller and featured guest at several of Lisas Hearth events. I adore Lisa and am in awe of her. She is a rare human being who actually walks the walk, dances the dance, sings the songs and lives life fully. With a bachelors and masters degree in mechanical engineering from University of California, San Diego, and University of California, Berkeley, respectively, Wade spent her entire 30year career working in research and development, and marketing and sales for high-tech companies in the Silicon Valley, including Hewlett Packard and Galil Motion Control. Thats a far cry from the creative and artistic life she now leads. Dancing, painting and singing was not a part of her game plan, although Wade always had a natural creative ability, an artistic spark inside of her waiting to reach the surface and be shared with the world. My spiritual and creative muscle came to life during the process of my

mothers passing. I call it a vibration, juice for life, aliveness and creativity I started following it more, Wade said. It started with doing something based on a feeling I had deep inside me, something that felt good. Five years later, Im doing things Id never imagined because I followed the calling of an energy that seemed to be outside of me, coming from within. Wade has also developed a nonprofit organization called Impact a Village that supports projects for the improvement of education and healthcare in communities around the world. Projects include building a primary school in south Sudan, assisting in classrooms for an indigenous community in the Amazon region of Peru and being involved with an educational program for abused women in Thailand. Wade said she is in a position to create the life of her dreams and positively impact other people in her own way simply because shes connected to her heart, and not because shes doing something for financial gain. I believe my life is being divinely orchestrated. I have plans, but theres plenty of room in there for something magical, and it happens every day, Wade said. With the spirit of generosity, amazing things are showing up. I couldnt have scripted it myself. With her two children away at college and days of working in the high-tech industry long gone, Wade looks to fill this next phase of life with enjoyment of sharing her home to others, and dancing, painting, singing, traveling and continuing to create and inspire community one acorn at a time.

Granite Bay social group enjoys films together

ilm has long been an important cultural influence in American society, as movies have the power to transport our imaginations into a world of fictional serenity. In some countries cinema runs as deep as religion. And in one local community, film has become a landmark for social gatherings, as movies also have the potential to create and strengthen bonds through discussions regarding whats seen on the screen. If there is a single way to bring people together in a diplomatic manner, Granite Bay resident Karen Bartos has the right method: through a movie group. After throwing around the idea to start a movie group for a little while, Bartos decided it was time to bring this

Bartos and a friend were the only attendants for the groups first film gettogether, to see The Artist, but things have changed in the last two years with participants now numbering 15 or more on a regular basis not bad considering the busyness of peoples lives. People primarily find out about the group through word of mouth and anyone is welcome. Some people dont RSVP and just show up, which is fine. It keeps everything interesting, and to be honest I

really enjoy going to the movies with people, Bartos said. Bartos said she loves and appreciates film, and wants to be able to share that experience with other people. The laughter, the suspense, the dramatic scenes and the camera
angles are all better enjoyed in the company of friends. Sometimes you just dont want to think about anything or sometimes you just want to be inspired, and the movies do that for us, Bartos said. She puts a lot of time into
her film group, extensively researching each film before deciding on which one the group will see; they tend to avoid scary or suspenseful flicks. Many of the movies we have seen have not been big block-
busters, but have nonetheless been terrific movies, such as Quartet, The Way, Way Back, Enough Said, About Time, The Sapphires (and) Moonrise Kingdom. Bartos said at least 24 people went to see Wes Andersons

This is the time when she and her friends get to escape for a few hours and bond. Group member Debra MilaniGreenberg said even though she has a busy schedule, she tries to make time to attend movies with the group as often as possible. She said the film gathering provides a time to meet new people and clear her mind. When Bartos was a child, she would get all dressed up and go to downtown Minneapolis to see movies. As a child, there was nothing like it, when we could take a break from reality, we would all go to the theater, she recalled. My family and I would get popcorn and that is what we did. Oh, the excitement of sitting in the theater, waiting for the curtains to drop, and when they did it was as if time stopped.

Green Elephant serves up scrumptious Burmese cuisine
BY TOBY LEWIS
ve said it before and Ill say it again: Finding hidden gems is one of my favorite things to do when it comes to searching out great restaurants. I use many different resources when conducting such searches, including Yelp, word of mouth, professional reviews and more. Given the abundance of restaurants in
our area, you would think the process would be easier than it actually is. There are too many poorly run, gimmicky restaurants with predictable, overpriced food that is just not very exciting. However, to the foodie, finding a hidden gem is probably as exciting as it is for a child to discover a new playground in his own backyard.
The interior of Green Elephant is relaxing with its bamboo forest wallpaper.
With that in mind, I have found another one for you. I had never heard of Green Elephant in Loomis before, and odds are you probably havent either. The restaurant is hidden, tucked away in an outdated strip mall with a parking lot that is half asphalt, half gravel and dirt, not far from the charming downtown area of Loomis and only a couple minutes away from Interstate 80. The restaurant bills itself as Southeast Asian, but upon closer inspection, I discovered its real specialty is Burmese cuisine. I happen to be a fan of Burmese cuisine and to date I have been unable to find a restaurant specializing in such food around the Sacramento region. Burma (also known as Myanmar) sits on the eastern edge of the Bay of Bengal on the Indian Ocean, bordering Thailand and China to the east with India and Bangladesh to the west. While Burmese food might be the lesser-known cousin of Southeast Asian cuisine, the influences, spices and flavors of Thailand, China and even India are quite present. But Burmese cuisine is not without its own merits. The tea leaf salad ($9.75), for example, is one dish at Green Elephant that is unique to
Burmese cooking and, in doing my research, is one of the mostliked dishes at the restaurant. Much of Burma is strewn top-to-bottom with wide river valleys and high mountains set against the backdrop of the Himalayas. Green Elephant coowner Rachael Lunt explained to me it is in the high mountains of her homeland where farmers harvest the tea leaves. When they go up on the mountain, they come out with a bamboo basket and a pouch in the front, like a clothing pouch, she said. When they pick the tea leaf, they put the young tea leaf into their pouch and then the bigger one goes in the back. The large, mature tea leaves, she explained, are dried and used to make jasmine tea, while the younger, smaller tea leaves are preserved with ginger, garlic, chilies and other spices to be used for salads and in cooking. Green Elephant imports its tea leaves from Burma for the tea leaf salad, and it is only available depending on the supply. It is tossed with fresh cabbage, peanut oil, lime, tomato, peppers and an assortment of twice-roasted nuts, including cashew and peanut. And I have sunflower seed in there, which is good for the body, said Lunt, who is also the lone server at the restaurant.

continued from page 23 And also there are nuts and beans that we roast twice, so they are more crunchy. Thats the method that we do in our country. The tea leaf salad is also served with a side of hot tea, which is a nice, traditional touch. If you are rich, you can drink wine or beer with it, she said. I think that is good. But in our custom it is tea. Usually, thats how we do it. On a recent visit to the restaurant, I tried the tea leaf salad and it was fresh and delicious. But, in my opinion, the tea leaf salad isnt the only reason to make a trip to this restaurant. Green Elephant also serves familiar Thai dishes such as

assorted curries and noodles, Chinese staples such as Panang beef and pot stickers and even Japanese favorites such as sushi and teriyaki chicken. Every item on the menu is
priced under $14, and believe me, there is plenty to try. Mango pickled pork curry and potato ($10.75) is one dish that stood out, as well as the catfish curry ($11.75) boneless catfish cooked with onion, ginger and turmeric. Nearly every item on the menu can be cooked with or without meat, making this place a great find for vegetarians and vegans. Also, many dishes are glutenfree, since chef/owner Moe Kyaw does not use much soy sauce in his cooking. In Loomis, I dont like to do too spicy, Lunt said. This is a new trend, spice.

is a fragrance and a flavor. It is turmeric, cardamom, cumin. They are good for the body. On my recent visit, I decided to try the chili jam chicken ($9.75) stir-fried chicken breast cooked in a roasted chili-jam paste, coconut milk and Thai basil and the catfish curry. I found the chili jam chicken to be a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The chicken was sauted beautifully, not dry, and the chili jam was, for lack of a better word, awesome. I am not typically a fan of catfish, but I found the fish curry to have a hint of that distinct fish flavor, while not overpowering at all. The fish was tender, buttery, cooked perfectly and the spices made this dish a harmonious star. Lunt said before an item makes it on the menu, she
and Kyaw will try out a recipe and adjust it at least 10 times until it is just right. The cooking philosophy at Green Elephant is undoubtedly simple, traditional and logical. In my restaurant here, we like to use the veggie that is fresh from whenever we go to the market, Lunt said. I want my customers to try different veggies sometimes, and when you go shopping, you see some unique veggies. I think what I love most about Green Elephant is that is not trying too hard. It simply is, and that is perhaps the most beautiful thing about it. Perhaps Lunt best sums up the simple concept and the food: People will come and eat it, she said. Hopefully, they like it and they will come back and have more.

Recipe of the Month... Super Foods Ceviche

Officially May is the month to celebrate Mothers Day. Unofficially, I believe Mothers should be celebrated everyday because we are a pretty awesome species! So this May, serve your mother, grandmother, aunt or special person Super Foods Cevicheto help keep her fueled for any task at hand. Ceviche traditionally describes a Spanish appetizer of raw marinated fish; my version of this dish contains an array of healthy, antioxidant-rich raw marinated vegetables and fruits that are both delicious tasting and good for you. Whats not to love about avocados and strawberries?
INGREDIENTS:
One whole avocado, sliced Two cups sliced strawberries One yellow or red pepper, thinly sliced Two cups cherry tomatoes, halved One cup diced cucumbers One cup diced sugar snap peas or snow peas
Four green onion stalks, thinly diced 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves 1/4 cup olive or avocado oil 1 garlic clove, minced Juice from one whole lime 1 tsp. lime zest Salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
For the dressing, whisk together the oil, garlic, lime juice and zest. Season with salt. In a separate bowl, add all the vegetables together, except the cilantro. Gently stir in the dressing, refrigerate and let it marinate until ready to serve. On a serving platter, arrange the marinated ceviche and top with fresh cilantro. Sprinkle cracked pepper over the entire dish. You are now ready to serve it up to your Mother!
VARIATIONS:
This dish makes a perfect meal served up with a piece of grilled salmon, a skewer of grilled prawns, or some raw fish. For a Spanish kick on Cinco de Mayo, add jalapeno slices & diced jicama.

Small-scale Agape Farm operates in Roseville

BY SENA CHRISTIAN
tanding outside by the chicken coup, as several fowls scamper around, visitors to Agape Farm can hear the sounds of passing cars. Perhaps youve heard of urban farms? This farm could be considered a suburban one, as its on Sunrise Avenue on the edge of Roseville. Technically, were in the country, said Allen Lee, 25, who co-owns and operates the farm with his wife, Laura. The pair rent the land from relatives and this is their second year in production as Agape Farm: The Farm of Faith, Hope and Love. The name comes from one of the Greek terms for love found in the Christian Bible, meaning the unconditional type held by God for humankind. The role of faith is prominent for the Lees, who attend Granite Springs Church in Lincoln. Allen Lee said being a farmer puts him more in touch with his God,
adding that people are supposed to stew- It was an occupation ard the Earth. It was an occupation given to us from given to us from God, God, so I feel that is what is calling me, he so I feel that is what said. The Lees grow all sorts of vegetables is calling me. and raise chickens for eggs and meat Allen Lee, and the couple enjoys being based at the co-owner, Agape Farm convergence of two cities, because it means theyre close to the customers they aim to nourish. A farm is the community of the people that support it, Allen Lee said. The farmers operate as sustainably as possible: forgoing chemical pesticides and doing work by hand

and not large machine. Theyre still trying out different agricultural theories and practices to see which work best. For instance, last winter they planted a cover crop of clover to add nutrients to the soil. The next time, they laid down straw covered by horse manure, which decomposed and, according to the Lees, proved to create better results. Farming is all about the soil, Allen Lee said, and he wants to create the best he can for growing fresh, healthy produce. Growing stuff isnt all about whats going on above ground, he said. Its also about whats going on under the soil. A whole community of microorganisms exists down there, which need to be stimulated to produce the best plants. The Lees follow the teachings of Joel Salatin, a farmer in Virginia who raises livestock using holistic management methods of animal husbandry and without synthetic chemicals. Salatins Polyface Farm was featured in Michael Pollans book The Omnivores Dilem-

ma, and the Lees toured the site last summer. The Lees have also taken classes at Sierra College and watched dozens of YouTube videos. Allen Lee, raised in West Sacramento, is an auto mechanic by trade and his wife, from Ripon, works as a filing clerk at the same auto shop and as a nanny. Being from the almondrich agricultural community of Ripon, Laura Lee always figured shed marry a farmer. Now, as one herself, she is benefitting from the fruits of their labor. I like to cook and I like to come out and pick my own food, she said. Her husband worked for five years on an industrial farm in
Nicolaus, off the Sacramento River, doing mechanic work and eventually taking over other aspects of the operation. The experience led to his decision to pursue small-scale, sustainable farming. The reasons we want to farm (like this) is industrial farming is all about producing and $5,000 machines that harvest rice and what I saw is its all about making money, and I felt that was kind of wrong, he said. In the good old days, farming was all about community. To encourage this sense of community, the Lees invite customers out to the farm to pick their own vegetables and select their eggs or just to see how the operation works. Agape Farm is growing tomatoes, pepper, basil, butternut squash, buttercup squash, cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, cabbage, onion and corn.
Laura Lee pulls weeds from her vegetable garden at Agape Farm on Sunrise Avenue.
More than a dozen chickens roam around the coup in a space that used to be a used parking lot. In late March, more chicks joined the farm to graze on a large patch of grass and move each day to new pasture, leaving manure behind. At 8-weeks-old, these chickens will be butchered, packaged and sold. The Lees aim to give the animals a good life while theyre alive. Respect the pig-ness of the pig, Allen Lee explained, quoting Salatin. Just as pigs are supposed to dig in the ground looking for bugs and get dirty, chickens arent supposed to exist trapped in cages, functioning only as egg-producing machines. Chickens think theyre just living a Hawaii vacation, but they are working, Allen Lee said. Theyre my workers!

rear of the property. This large add on to the estate includes a custom ceiling, as well as the same care with design and detail as the rest of the home. The space can easily become the most elaborate game room and theater in the neighborhood, or maybe a private apartment for extended family. Back in the main home, the kitchen benefits from a recent update that includes a center island and countertops dressed in cream and washed with gray, black and white earthy colors that create an organic bridge to the outdoors. There are multiple sinks in this kitchen, as well as updated appliances like Thermador double ovens, a KitchenAid compactor and a five-burner Thermador cook top with a stainless hood. The room also has a Bosch dishwasher, a built-in microwave, appliance caddies and cabinets have glass fronts to display your favorite crystal. While the lady of the house loves the kitchen, her favorite room is the casually elegant sunroom, a beautiful add-on that will make you think of mint juleps in the afternoon and a newspaper and lingering cup of coffee on Sunday morning.

One of the many comfortable features is the flooring, which alternates between soft natural oak and plush oatmeal carpets. Many rooms include fireplaces and built-ins, as well. Vaulted, tray, or boxed, nearly every rooms ceiling is a study in architectural detail, and many rooms include crown molding and chair rails, as well. Another feature that makes this home stand out is the private nature of the bedroom wing and some of the formal rooms. Invisible pocket doors abound in this home, allowing for a private meal, or total quiet in the bedrooms while entertaining.

rchid enthusiast Bob Conaty has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the nearly 300 varieties he tends, but they havent lost their fascination. Ill never learn everything in my lifetime, he said. He can tell the story behind many of his favorites, such as
the Jason Fisher a phragmipedium he describes as bright red almost like lipstick. A fellow in Minnesota grew a plant called besseae (a native of) Peru, he said. He got a big award and named it after his son. Anyone who has a Jason Fisher (orchid) it is named after his son. He hybridized it.
Phyllis Heisler of the Sacramento Orchid Society looks over a Dendrobium orchid in her Granite Bay greenhouse.
Conaty devotes considerable attention to the hobby, even creating microclimates through the use of light, fans and shade cloth in his 16-by-20 foot greenhouse in Granite Bay. One end of the space is 83 degrees, and the other is 68 degrees. The shade cloth can reduce the suns rays by as much as 70 percent. He works to recreate the flowers native environments, which span the world and a wide range of altitudes and temperatures. (Some) pots sit in trays of water, he said. Air rising from streams going past the plants keeps the roots cool in South America. I try to imitate that. By contrast, there are varieties from the Andes that need a chilly environment to thrive. Conaty doesnt grow any of those, but has a friend who does. He keeps many of the orchids in pots on shelves in the green-
house, giving them space to spread their roots. What I enjoy is being able to bloom them and see all the varieties we have and the colors, he said. Its a challenge. I have plants that (others) couldnt bloom. They gave them to me and I tried it. Then a couple of years later, they bloomed. I have the right conditions for it. Conaty has won numerous awards with his orchids, but it didnt happen right away. His first award was with a Belle Hogue Point. He named the winning bloom in honor of wife. Beyond beauty, the flowers can be very aromatic and not always pleasantly so. (Theres the) bulbophyllum phalaenopsis if you had one that bloomed inside the greenhouse, you couldnt walk into it because it would smell so bad similar to rotted meat to attract flies, he said. But many species are known for their pleasant scents. When a favorite comes into bloom, Conaty takes it indoors to fill his house with fragrance. Conatys neighbor Phyllis
Heisler is president of the Sacramento Orchid Society. She was hooked after attending her first meeting some 25 years ago. I was just fascinated by them, she said. (There are) so many exotic varieties colors, shapes, spots and stripes so different from ordinary yard Paphiopedilum Bel Royal. plants. A couple on the window sill led to about 30 on the floor. I converted my patio into an atrium. Now I have about 500 plants in there and about 100 outdoor cymbidiums. Orchids are the largest family of flowering plants, with more than 3,000 species, she explained. Heisler acquired her collection a few at a time at club meet- Butterfly orchid. ings, from growers and during her travels. On a trip to the Dominican Republic, I managed to bring some back, she said. They are twig orchids little tiny things. They look like dancing dolls. (The flower) looks like a womans figure with a big full skirt. On a branch there are anywhere from six to 20 of these little flowers and they just dance in the breeze. Nobile orchid.

I personally believe that being green is so important because we arent the only ones living on this planet, but were the ones with the most power to help our world be beautiful. It is the only Earth there is, after all. But how can we make a difference not just in our own homes, but in the larger community, as well? The Girl Scouts of Troop 2140 are working hard to help this cause and find our own solutions to being green.

The kiosk has provided up-todate information about the nature trail for the students at Oakhills, and they get to learn about the environment around them. So what exactly have we been doing?

Northern Californias only venomous snake is the northern Pacific rattlesnake.

Pets and rattlesnakes dont mix

BY EILEEN WILSON
arm weather in Placer County is nothing short of spectacular, and nothing beats hitting the trails around Folsom Lake and the American River Parkway. But if the weather is perfect for you and your family and pets, then you can be sure its perfect for rattlesnakes, too. Turns out, humans and their furry companions arent the only ones who love sunning themselves in the warm afternoon glow. Rattlesnakes like nothing more than a tantalizingly toasty bit of bike path to get their sun on, and sadly,
your pets can pay the price. According to the Department of Fish and Wildlife, Northern Californias only venomous snake is the northern Pacific rattlesnake. Though rattlesnakes arent aggressive, they will strike if they feel threatened, and most bites to humans are in the areas of hands and feet a result of someone accidentally stepping on or touching the snake while walking or climbing. But what about our furry sidekicks? Mark Martinez, a teacher at Cavitt Junior High School in Granite Bay, often brings his

dog to the trails behind the school that abut Folsom Lake. Unfortunately for his dog, Roxy, and for his wallet as well, Roxy received a bite on the nose when she walked up to a tightly coiled rattler on the trail. We were taking a walk on the trail in July, right before dusk. Roxy was ahead of me and I saw what looked like a pile of horse droppings in the middle of the trail, Martinez said. As I got closer, I saw the pile grow tighter than it was before. When Roxy ran back to me, I realized by the two puncture holes and trickles of blood on her nose, that she had been bitten by a snake. Martinezs quick action to carry the Doberman Pinscher off the trail and take her to Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic, which staffs a full-service animal hospital, kept her alive. They kept her overnight, they gave her antibiotics and fluids there was a shortage of anti-venom that year, and the medical community was saving the medication for human snakebite victims, Martinez said. She was starting to swell (and) the next day she looked like a Shar Pei, she was so swollen. Martinez was surprised that Roxys treatment meant numerous vet visits, resulting in thousands of dollars. Since the snakebite, he takes his dog to the vet each year for a rattlesnake vaccine.
Its very possible for dogs that receive snake bites to die. But many do well. It really just depends how much venom the animal has received.

Dr. Lisa Hess, an associate veterinarian at Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic, agrees that treating snake bites can be costly but necessary. Its very possible for dogs that receive snake bites to die, Hess said. But many do well. It really just depends how much venom the animal has received. Young rattlesnakes tend to release more venom. The venom can affect the dogs breathing, kidney function, neurological function and can also cause bleeding and skin problems the venom is really toxic. And just one vial of anti-venom costs around $900. Hess said that Folsom Lake Recreation Area and the American River Parkway are common locations for rattlesnakes, along with wooded and open areas throughout Lincoln. Dogs involved in search-and-rescue efforts are at especially high risk for snakebite, and she recommends any dog that walks on trails or in nature areas receive a vaccine.

ain clouds parted on a Thursday afternoon in March and the sun shined down on a gathering to mark a new 2and-a-half mile trail that goes through Folsom and Granite Bay. Dubbed the Johnny Cash Trail, it will link four existing trail systems and features a bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing at Folsom Lake Crossing road, just beyond the light at E. Natoma Street. The price tag is estimated to be around $3.8 million and the trail is expected to open this fall.

The groundbreaking ceremony drew the popular Johnny Cash tribute band, Los Angeles-based Walking Phoenixes; Cashs daughter, Cindy Cash; state Sen. Ted Gaines; state Assemblywoman Beth Gaines; prison officials and a representative from the Army Corps of Engineers. Close to 100 turned out for the ceremony. Robert Goss, Folsoms Parks and Recreation department director, said this trail, funded with state and federal grants, was
worthy of a celebration. Its not often we have a groundbreaking in this town but to mark the significance of this project (it was appropriate), Goss told the gathering. Were a town known for its history from gold to hydroelectric power to the railroad. Folsom is widely known thanks to one song, Folsom Prison Blues, sung by the iconic man in black, Johnny Cash. In 1968, history was made again, Goss said. Johnny Cash performed two concerts at Folsom Prison. Cindy Cash was on hand to represent the Cash family. This was the only (concert) venue dad would not take me on, she said. I was 8 when dad performed here and I

cried the whole time he was gone. It wasnt until I was older I understood why he couldnt bring me. Cindy Cash said she had been spending time around town and can see why her father liked it here. She acknowledged she couldnt find a photo of her father on a bicycle, or even imagine him on a bicycle, but she recalled him using an old stick he found like a cane and walking, so a trail was appropriate. I love this town and I think hed really like this (trail), she said. Ive already adopted some of the people here. Folsom Mayor Kerri Howell said this is probably the only trail in the country to cross prison grounds. When completed, the trail will also boast a connector to take people to the prison gates. The Johnny Cash Trail will eventually extend from the Historic Truss Bridge to Green Valley Road, traversing prison property and linking El Dorado and Placer counties to Folsoms Historic District and the American River Parkway, according to city officials.

Granite Bay native takes a dip in Coca-Cola

Swim legend Alyssa Anderson is a proud native of Granite Bay.
fizz. The former Sac-Joaquin Section champ and Granite Bay High icon joined the International Olympic Committees Athlete Career Program and enjoyed a one-year internship with Coca-Cola that ended in March. Now shes bound for another dry-land opportunity with a Coca-Cola affiliate, destined for the same success in marketing that she achieved as an amphibian. A lot of dots were connected, Anderson said. I saw the Olympic Games through a different set of eyes. As an athlete you show up to the Olympic Games and dont think about all the back work it takes to stage such an event. Now I know just how much planning, work and money go into putting on such a spectacular event. The 23-year-old returned from the marketing internship at Coca Cola headquarters in Atlanta, where she contributed to the companys sponsorship in Sochis 2014 Olympics. While (Anderson) clearly brought her personality and vitality in our team, she also contributed to many projects, including being a team member of the working

group in charge of refreshing the companys approach to active healthy living, Coca Colas director of Olympic Games management, Thierry Borra, said. Having an Olympian in your team allows you to inspire your employees, your organization and your partners. Anderson helped create the messaging the athletes saw in the Olympic Village and also designed pillows that displayed the long partnership between Olympics and its longest supporter. She said she enjoyed seeing the evolution of the Olympics over the years, crediting Olympic legend Natalie Coughlin for supplying the early inspiration for her career in 2004. Anderson, who began her swimming career at age six, first pondered that Olympic dream when she swam for Granite Bay. She was a section champion and record-holder in the 500meter freestyle for the Grizzlies.
Granite Bay graduate and Olympic gold medalist Alyssa Anderson finished a one-year internship with Coca-Cola and is preparing to embark on another marketing journey.
At ages 13 and 15, she made the National Select Camp and National Junior Team. At age 16, she won the 400, 800 and 1500-meter freestyle events at Spring Nationals in New York. As a high school student, she also swam for the Sierra Marlins team before beginning her collegiate career at the University of Arizona, where she graduated with a marketing degree in 2012. Alyssa was a great leader for our team and a really fierce competitor with an attitude that resonated through the rest of the team, Andersons former instructor and current Granite Bay swim coach John Sherman said. Obviously at some point the athletes have to move on from competitive athletics, but the personalities and characteristics they developed in swimming will stay with them in their professional lives.
Alyssa stands out as an athlete because she is as determined and hard working as she is talented, Marlins coach Jeff Pearson added. There are hard workers and there are talents, but very few athletes are both. The ones that are end up on our Olympic team, which is the toughest one to make in the world. Although she has put her training on the backburner, Anderson still relishes a good workout. She said the competitiveness is still a part of her everyday life and, therefore, she has not completely ruled out racing again. Anderson gave swim clinics in 2012 around the country through Mutual of Omaha and Fitter and Faster programs with other Olympians, including her sister, Haley Anderson, who won a silver medal in the 10k open water swim of the 2012 Olympics. In October, Alyssa Anderson toured Rocklin for a Faster and Fitter clinic. Anderson said marketing appeals to her because of its
social interactions. The appeal of working for one of the worlds most recognized brand has supplied her insight into the field and offered lifechanging experiences, she said. The program that (CocaCola) started for Olympic athletes is something very special and I am blessed to have been a part of it, Anderson said. I hope that people see the impact and support (Coke) gives to the Olympics and athletes. Anderson said she is lucky to have had the opportunities, experiences and resources available to Granite Bay students, like her sister, Jordan, who is a junior. She added that she couldnt thank the community enough for the support she and her sister received in 2012. This month Anderson begins her work at Misfit Shine, a San Francisco-based firm and partner of Coca Cola that manufactures activity-tracking wristbands. Get out and move, everyone! Anderson said.

California Ripped Fitness aims to provide a more fun, friendly and inviting environment for members, according to a press release. Founded in 2012, California Ripped Fitness is committed to providing members of all ages a motivating environment to help promote a healthy lifestyle through convenient, state-of-theart facilities and programs.

the Oakhills students and the neighborhood enjoy. Sarah, Courtney and I repainted the entire kiosk, filled it with colorful pictures of the many things found on the trail, and added accurate information about the world outside of the classroom. Once the whole project was finished in November, we visited the secondgrade classes at Oakhills to educate students on the importance of being ecofriendly and taking care of Earth and the world we live in. Our presentations began with Courtneys well-researched PowerPoint on everything kids need to know about taking care of the natural environment, from earth science to the simple things they can do to help the planet daily. We ended by having the kids make their own air snack. Courtneys clever idea helped our lesson stick in the students minds: Her wonderful treat included 78 nitrogens, or marshmellows, 21 oxygen M&Ms and one greenhouse gas gumball. By passing our knowledge onto the students, we made a lasting impression and encouraged them not only to be green, but to spread the word to friends and families to be eco-conscious, as well. What can you do to in your day-to-day life to help our planet? Theres always the classic reduce, reuse and recycle, and there are many ways to make this process creative, interesting and fun. Use an old egg carton to store jewelry or hair ties. Reuse office paper for notes. Unplug appliances when theyre not in use. Recycle old cell phones or adjust your thermostat one degree warmer in the summer and one degree cooler in wintertime. Use old paper as giftwrap, plant a tree or even go vegan for a day. Though being green has been inflated by the media to seem like a daunting task, its actually easy and fun, and will help you and the planet feel a lot better. Try it, and see what we can do together!

Animals tackle weeds as temporary help

BY EILEEN WILSON
ouve heard of going green. But one Granite Bay family has decided to go green to the extreme. When it comes to getting rid of weeds or clearing defensible space in a yard, most people would hire a landscape crew or head outside with a weed whacker. But Terri Scheer decided upon the most ecofriendly option she could think of, and the option involved four legs. Scheer rented goats to tackle her blackberry brambles and other wily weeds. Id met (goat owner) Sharon Taylor years ago when I was trying to find a home for my duck,
Scheer said. When Douglas Feed and Pet Supply referred me to someone who had goats for rent, I didnt realize she was the same person. Scheer had seen goats for rent signs in the past, and admits she was intrigued. So she was excited to give the natural approach a try, and after a couple of months of goatly love, shes enjoying how her property looks. I really love animals and it was a fun way to experience having goats without the responsibility of owning them, she said. The cost to rent Taylors goats was minimal. She paid $100 for the two months, along with a refundable deposit.
Plus, I got to enjoy the animals, Scheer said. With names like Midnight and Stormy, its easy to see why a homeowner might fall in love with a crew of temporary landscapers. These goats arent snuggly, but they really are cute, Scheer said. They are really social animals that interact with their keepers. They run up to greet you and they bleat when you leave. The animals stay together, and they just munch away. Taylor professes a longestablished love for goats. Several years ago we moved to property in Orangevale, Taylor said. Im really sensitive to cow milk and soymilk, but I love goat milk. Unfortu-
Terri Scheer of Granite Bay rented goats to eat up the weeds in her yard.

nately, goat milk is expensive. A feed store was giving away two free goats, so I brought them home as a birthday present to myself my family couldnt deny me. I got more goats at a livestock auction in Roseville, and before I knew it, I had a herd of a dozen, plus a llama. Taylor enjoys renting her goats out to good homes, or in this case yards, and
said its a way for her to offset the cost of caring for the animals. Since goats eat pretty much everything, its

continued from 47 necessary to fence the part of the yard that needs attention. Goats also enjoy butting fences and are known to be escape artists. I give a free consultation to make sure the person who asks for goats knows what to expect, Taylor said. Goats can go through all kinds of brambles, and its rare to find a plant that bothers them. Springtime, with all the new growth, is an especially good time to use goats. Taylor said that although goats cant remove the driest blackberry canes, they can clear a path, allowing the homeowner to get to the tough stuff. A quarter of an acre to an acre is a good size for Pygmy goats, as the animals are less likely to challenge a fence than their larger relatives. The goats are cost-effective they fertilize as they go, Taylor said. They get most of their nutrition from plants, so they require little food. They make great temporary pets.

Pay For College Without Going Broke

C
ollege admissions excitement is in full swing. Mail boxes are being checked diligently for that coveted acceptance letter. It is the grand finale to years of hard work, perseverance and personal sacrifices. But it really is just the beginning. For the student, its a peek into adulthood. And for the parents, its a great way to dispose of most of their savings for the next four (or more) years. Well, that may be an exaggeration. But if you, the parent, intends to pay for a portion or all of your childs education, you should know that college costs are escalating at a rate of 5 percent per year (according to the College Board). And there is room and board, books and incidentals to pay for too. Additionally, you may have other financial goals, such as saving for retirement. If this resonates with you, read on as we explore and understand a few ways you can pay for your childs college without breaking the bank.

Saving For College:

Saving for college is always a good idea. What types of accounts you save in depends on your financial situation. There are a couple of tax-preferential accounts to help you get started: 529 Plans and Coverdell Education Savings accounts. One type of 529 Plan is the College Savings Plan. These are state-managed qualified tuition plans and offer federal tax-free growth (and state-tax free in some cases) as long as the funds are used for col-
lege-related expenses, with some exceptions. An ESA (formerly called Education IRAs) offer tax-free growth for elementary, secondary and post-secondary education, however, contributions are limited to $2,000 per year (for 2014) and income and other limitations apply.
Paying For College:

Escalating education costs have made attending a two-year community college an appealing and viable option for many families, particularly if your child is

uncertain of his/her field of study or is simply not ready to move away. Many families pay for college with a combination of savings, financial aid and student loans. Financial aid is provided primarily by the federal government and colleges and can be offered as student loans, work-study jobs, scholarships and grants. Scholarships and grants dont need to be paid back. Most financial aid awards are needs-based and depend on the financial need of the student, which is determined by the FAFSA application. The application assesses income and assets of both the parents and student. While the parents assets are assessed at 5.6 percent, the students assets are assessed at 20 percent. This means that the federal government deems 5.6 percent of the parents assets and 20 percent of the childs assets to be available to pay for college. The FAFSA application results in a Student Aid Report that provides the Expected Family Contribution or EFC. This is the amount your family is expected to contribute before any financial aid
can be received. As the federal calculation only considers assets and not liabilities (go figure!) and the assets dont include your retirement savings, you can consider paying off some debt with a portion of your savings, or contribute to your retirement accounts (conditions apply). Having said that, individual colleges have their own financial aid application process, and they may consider home equity and retirement assets in their aid eligibility calculations. FAFSA filings run Jan. 1 to June 30. Its on a firstcome, first-served basis. Student loans usually make up the largest portion of a financial aid package. Its best to be realistic and borrow, if needed. Get more information at www.collegeboard.org. Analyze your options and consult with your tax adviser and financial planner before making a decision. And remember at the end of the day, as expensive as it may be, education is an investment that keeps on paying.

Falling Off The Exercise Wagon

gle moment, or it could be the result of a drawn out process. You may fall out of exercise slowly as a result of health problems or other various life issues that spring up and monopolize your time. Illness, vacation, holidays, changes at work or any other change in your schedule are all things thatll get you off the wagon. Once youre off the real damage begins.
Debra Skelton
f you are looking for an excuse to fall off the exercise wagon, the universe will provide one. Is this you? Have you relapsed into your old unhealthy habits? The sad truth is that nearly everyone who started off 2014 with strong fitness goals has by now given up. I sincerely hope that this is not you. Below is the cycle that happens when you fall off the exercise wagon, and heres how to pick yourself back up:
dramatic moment when you decide to eat anything you want, or when you begin to use food for comfort and to ease stress. Surrender is the most destructive part of the cycle. You remove all expectations from yourself and, as a result, you plummet into an unhealthy realm. The progress youve made toward your goals is lost and even more weight is gained.
This is a sobering moment when you see what youve allowed yourself to become, and you dont like it one bit. Negative, defeated thoughts run through your mind. While hitting bottom is never a fun experience, it is a necessary one. The pain must become great enough for you to turn it around and take the control back.
You Take Control

Now comes the good
part. When you hit bottom you were out of control; now youre ready to once again grab the reigns. Youre ready to put yourself back onto your priority list. Set healthy guidelines for your diet and get back into a regular schedule of working out. Set specific goals for yourself that are realistic and within a set timeframe. Now get to work, reclaiming your body, your freedom and your life.
The time has come to decide that you are worth it. Remember, life will always give you an excuse to stop working toward your goals its up to you to fight back for what you truly want.

health in view
eart attacks and strokes can happen so suddenly, and be so traumatic, that people who suffer them often ask whether the episode could have been prevented. The answer in many cases is yes, by controlling their blood pressure. About 1 in 3 adults in the United States has high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Worse yet, many people who have high blood pressure dont know it, because there are generally no symptoms, which is why hypertension is referred to by some as the silent killer. May is National High Blood Pressure Education Month. My colleagues and I like to remind
Get Blood Pressure Under Control

our patients that hypertension can have deadly consequences if not controlled: heart disease, kidney disease and stroke among others. Blood pressure is simply the force that blood generates when it is pumped through the bodys blood vessels. We measure blood pressure with two measurements of pressure systolic and diastolic pressure. The top number, systolic, is the pressure recorded when the heart beats. The bottom number, diastolic, is the reading when the heart muscle is relaxing between heartbeats. Blood pressure is considered high when the reading is higher than 140 systolic and 90 dias-
Dr. Chris Palkowski
tolic, expressed as 140/90. We should all be checking our blood pressure at least once a year. Several factors contribute to hypertension, including smoking, obesity, salt intake, excessive alcohol, sleep apnea and age. The good news: There are successful ways to control and treat hypertension through changes in behavior, exercise, nutrition and medication, which can significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks, congestive heart failure, strokes and kidney disease. Medication has proven very effective and safe in controlling hypertension. Still, I often tell my patients that hypertension is a long-term diagnosis and needs to be monitored over
time. How they feel on a particular day is not necessarily a good indication of how well they are controlling their blood pressure. I encourage them to always be aware of their blood pressure readings by obtaining their own blood pressure cuff and checking their readings at home. A common concern among my patients with elevated blood pressure is that they fear they will have to be on medication forever. But that doesnt always turn out to be the case. A patient of mine challenged himself to see if he could lower his blood pressure and stop taking the medication that had controlled his blood pressure. He started to exercise regularly, cut back on salt, lost 15 pounds and indeed, we were able to discontinue his medication because his blood pressure dropped into a normal range and stayed there. His story is far from unique. Kaiser Permanente Northern California has received nation-
al attention for nearly doubling the rate of blood pressure control among adult members with diagnosed hypertension between 2001 and 2009. This means the percentage of patients whose hypertension was under control increased from 43.6 percent in 2001 to 80.4 percent during that eightyear period, as noted in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The national mean control during that period increased from 55.4 percent to 64.1 percent. Right now, about 87 percent of Kaiser members in Northern California who have been diagnosed with hypertension have their blood pressure under control. Thats thousands of people who likely will not have the heart attacks or strokes they might have had if they failed to get their blood pressure under control.

A Fresh Start
We have all been touched by the economic downturn, professionally and personally. Many have felt the cold hand of fate grab at our dreams and plans for our business and personal goals. Companies that stayed open dealt with the uncertain business landscape in a variety of ways. Some CEOs laid off longterm employees to avoid the negative, spiraling bottom line results. Others modified positions, changed responsibilities and tried to right size the operation. There were those CEOs who closed their doors completely; the burden was just too large to bare.
Amelya Stevenson
Those days were dark, doubtful and relentless. I am sure many leaders sat at their desks alone and wondered, Did I make the right decision? Today, hope for our business future is taking
shape again. We are seeing a resurgence of energy and innovation from our leaders. It finally feels like a spring day the sun is out and the birds are singing. I call this new growth a period of reengineering. CEOs have a fresh start, a new look at their organization and workforce. They can once again build a thriving and prosperous business and create a positive and engaging employee culture.
Resources are out there, such as Vistage International, to help guide executives and business owners through uncertain decisions. Now is the time to reach out and seek guidance and support from a confidential, peer advisory group of CEOs. Vistage International, for example, brings together successful CEOs, executives and business owners into these groups, which are designed to help mem-
bers assist one another. Vistage International has helped more than 75,000 members since 1957 when the company began. Discussions also center on a persons health and personal life, as it is strongly believed that the whole person adds to the strategic direction of a company.

daytripper
A walk along the waterfront in Benicia, which overlooks the Carquinez Strait, is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
COLE ALLEN GRANITE BAY VIEW
A day of leisure spent in Benicia
BY SENA CHRISTIAN
he clouds overhead had darkened the afternoon sky and the air felt crisp as my companions and I walked along the Carquinez Strait, into which Benicias First Street juts, but the dreary atmosphere did nothing to impede our enjoyment as we leisurely soaked up all the strip had to offer.
First St. Caf in downtown Benicia is the perfect place to enjoy lunch or dinner, and the tunes of live music.
Much had changed on the citys main street since I was last here some six years ago, and I mean that in a good way. First Street was more alive with dog walkers, pop-up shops with shoes and purses for sale, Girl Scouts selling cookies and the competing aromas of the many restaurants. This small downtown district had beckoned me on daily afternoon walks when I worked as a beat reporter for the citys daily newspaper, the Benicia Herald, in 2007. Id exit the historic building, home to the 100-plus-year-old paper, and breathe in the fresh, waterside air on my way to the family owned candy shop you would expect to see in such a quaint locale. Working for the newspaper, I met all types of people in this city of about 30,000 and learned the correct way to pronounce Benicia, although I never quite mastered it, much to dismay of the natives. (Its hard, OK!) For being so small, the city has long had a vibrant art scene, which I attributed partly to the many San Francisco transplants who moved here to escape the hustle and bustle of The City. My visit to my old stomping ground began with a walk down First Street. We kept our itinerary unplanned. We figured if we ended up realizing
we had missed something later, the good news is Benicia is only about 75 miles from Roseville and Granite Bay. Wed just go back! Except the traffic to and from Benicia on this particular Saturday was horrendous: Im talking two hours of stop-andgo driving. My companions and I stopped for lunch at Aroma Indian Cuisine where for $70 the four of us loaded up on vegetarian appetizers, channa masala, mattar paneer, navratan korma, rice and pan to get us through the remaining afternoon of sauntering around downtown. Aroma also offers vegan and gluten-free meals. After lunch, we strolled up and down First Street, stopping to browse in the many antique shops and boutiques. I saw several photographers with expensive-looking cameras snapping away at the broken-down boats in the strait. It was just the type of relaxing, easy day trip I enjoy. But for those adventurers who want to make sure they make efficient use of their time and see it all, I suggest visiting the city of Benicias website at www.visitbenicia.org for itineraries based on various interests. One itinerary centers on art galleries, such as the Benicia Public Library Art Gallery on East L Street, and Studio 21 and the
Benicia Plein Air Gallery, both on First Street. Glass is also big here, as noted by the three glass studios on the list. Visitors interested in the historical aspects of this small city should pop into the Union Hotel at 401 First Street, which was built in 1852, making it the oldest hotel in California. According to the citys website, the hotels illustrious guests include Ulysses S. Granite, Ronald Reagan and Humphrey Bogart. History buffs should also check out the Inn at Benicia Bay, at 145 East D Street this historic home was built by a sea captain and remained in the family from 1854 to 1983 when the last heir died and the building was turned into a bed and breakfast. While walking on First Street, veer off onto West G Street to visit both the restored Benicia State Capitol Building and Fischer-Hanlon House where docents lead tours dressed in period attire. Newsflash! Benicia served as the California state capital from 1853 to 1854. I had seen some of these historic places before, while working at the Benicia Herald, so I opted to instead just enjoy the leisurely pace of a day spent walking along the citys beautiful downtown as clouds floated by overhead.

back and forth
ladimir Butov moved to the United States when he was 10 years old, where his love of dance came alive almost instantaneously. Today, the Granite Bay resident is a dance instructor at The Studio Martial Arts & Fitness in Granite Bay, and runs his own dance studio in Sacramento where he hopes to help spread his love of dance throughout the community.
You grew up just outside of Russia. What was that like? Do you feel any kind of personal rewards from teaching other people something you love?
Well, I came here when I was 10, so I grew up on the outskirts of Russia, in a little town called Zhdanovka. It was a farming community. So you had to pretty much work outside. You had cattle, pigs, chickens, just farm life.
BY TOBY LEWIS You basically grew up working on a farm.
Oh yeah. All the kids did what they had to. Basically, we grew up planting plants and harvesting.
What made you want to get into dancing?
I just felt like I was good at it. I started my dancing career with the influence of hip-hop and break-dancing. When I came to America, my passion for breakdancing continued throughout high school until I graduated in 2009. After, I decided to pursue ballroom and Latin dancing. Ive always been drawn to ballroom dancing because of the chemistry and connection on the dance floor. Not to mention the glamour, imagination, artistry, expression and creativity. It actually feels good when you dance and express yourself through it.
Youre trained in many different styles, such as merengue, salsa, cha-cha-cha, waltz, tango, swing, fox trot. How did you get trained in all of that?
I mean it just feels good doing what you like. Some people come in and are like, Im a bad dancer; I would never do this. And what I tell them is theyve just got to stick with it and give it a try. Its nice to see people succeed and get good at something they thought they never would have. I believe dancing is a valuable lifetime social skill. It is a skill to be learned, practiced, enjoyed frequently and treasured. I am thrilled at the opportunity to share my love of percussion and dancing with others through teaching.
What do you do for the Granite Bay community?
Im just trying to bring dance to the community, because I dont see enough of it. Im trying to share my passion with the community and teach people how to dance. Because a lot of people love to dance and think its a great way to express yourself. And you know, if youve had a bad day, its kind of a release. It makes people happy.
Why is it important that people learn to dance?
I have received coaching from many notable and recognized dancers such as Alexander Andreev, Roman Italyankin, Cecilia Giovacchini, Yulia Kuznetsova, Pavlo Barsuk, Evgeny Malko and Sergey Malko. Ive gone to San Francisco, one time I went to L.A. Sometimes people come out from Los Angeles or San Francisco to Sacramento, and so I trained with them. I took private lessons.
And you also play drums and percussion. That is interesting.
Dance education teaches the values and skills of creativity, problem solving, risk-taking and high-order thinking skills. And, if youre a single person, you meet new people all the time. It is a great way to mingle. And fitness wise, its a great way to stay in shape. And if you are really serious, you can actually do it competitively. You train and then we actually go out to competitions locally. There are actually competitions where you perform. You dont have to be a professional or anything. It just feels good. If you are working for something for so long, its like a reward. It kind of trains you to be comfortable to go to an event like that and shine and express yourself without being nervous or any hesitations.
Is it ever too late to learn how to dance?
Vladimir Butov says dancing makes people happy.
58
Yes, I am a musician, which makes my talent in dancing that much more enthralling with my ability to interpret music. Im also an instructor. I have my own studio in Arden, with a drum room and a dance room.
Its never too late because you can be young, you can be old. Dancing is just one of those common things that everybody can enjoy and teach with others. Its a common thing; people can always talk about it. It is a very social environment.
