think the biggest thing adults miss out on is not having a summer break. The summers of my youth were spent learning to make jewelry and teaching myself how to play guitar. OK, it was more like failing to teach myself to play guitar. But during my school years, summers were always a welcomed break from book reports and test cramming. A chance to pursue what really interested me. How much more fulfilled might we be as adults if we could take off a summer to explore raku pottery or travel to France? If youve got kids,

youre no doubt thinking of ways to keep them enriched this summer. Take a peek at our story on Gorin Tennis Academys summer camp (page 4). Weve also included a few other summer programs that may appeal to your youngster. This month, weve also got a story on some real bad ass women. At The Studio Martial Arts and Fitness, owner Amitis
Pourarian has created a program that teaches women taekwondo, self defense moves and selfesteem. Shes dubbed it BAM (Bad Ass Moms). With Mothers Day this month, I thought itd be fun to show the tough side of moms you know, to balance out all the wimpy flowers and sappy greeting cards that will be exchanged come May 13. Check out our story on page 7. Whether youre a mom who kicks butt in the gym or just everywhere else in life, happy Mothers Day!

Gorin Tennis Academy summer camps offer more than lobs and volleys

ts true that most kids cant wait to hear schools out for summer. But without a wellthought-out plan, boredom can set in quickly. Lucky for Granite Bay kids, Gorin Tennis Academy has a cure for the summertime blues. With two different week-to-week camps to choose from, the competitive tennis kid and the newbie can both have fun and learn skills that will help them, both on and off the court. Stop by the facility anytime after school, and the first things you will notice are the joyful noise of a bouncing ball and kids laughter. Kids are learning or improving skills and having a great time doing it. Future Stars Camp is an introduction to the sport, which incorporates elements of the USTAs QuickStart Program. The session is typically for kids age 5 to 10, though older kids who are newcomers to the sport will enjoy Future Stars, as well. Tournament Training Camp is a program that is designed to help kids improve their game or for the kid who is trying to improve his or her USTA sectional or national ranking. Though Gorins summer camps are tennis oriented, theres an emphasis on the camp, too.

Tennis is truly a sport of a lifetime. If you go to Palm Springs or Indian Wells, you will see 80-year-olds playing tennis. Thats what I love about it if you learn it and enjoy it, you can play tennis for the rest of your life.
Vitaly Gorin, owner, Gorin Tennis Academy
Summer camps are five days a week, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., said Stacey Joslin, who owns the academy with her husband, Vitaly Gorin. The Future Stars are on the court for one-and-ahalf hours, and they break for lunch, then swim and play on water slides afterward. The Tournament Training kids are on the court for two hours, then they have lunch and swim, as well.
MAY GRANITE BAY VIEW
For those who pay close attention to the tennis world, Gorin is renowned world-wide for the quality competitors they produce and for boarding and training young people from all over the world. Ive had people say to me, You guys are the ones who have players training to go to Wimbledon,
Joslin said. But thats only 1 percent of our players. We have little bitty kids starting out when they are as young as 4, and we have 13-yearolds who have never played before. Vitaly Gorin explained that last year their facility had about 30 campers, and they hope to have as many kids this year. While some kids will participate for one week, others will participate for several camp sessions. Offering several sessions is convenient for families who have travel plans, and for kids who are involved in other camps

continued from page 5 or summer activities. Though Gorin is passionate about his sport, he is most excited to see kids master an activity that will give them pleasure and keep them fit for a lifetime. Sports in general give kids a higher level of discipline and focus, and sports also give kids a lot of socialization, Gorin said. But tennis is truly a sport of a lifetime. If you go to Palm Springs or Indian Wells, you will see 80-year-olds playing tennis. Thats what I love about it if you learn it and enjoy it, you can play tennis for the rest of your life. Gorin describes tennis as a sport that takes a lot of work before you get good at it, which is why camp kids work on tennis skills and drills for only a portion of their day. The rest is socialization, with

games, waterslides, swimming and barbecue, Gorin said. Kids are making friends, theyre having fun. We provide a lot of fun outside the court, and sneaking the tennis in, because brand new players wouldnt enjoy tennis for four hours straight. Its the fun, friendships and games that bring them back the next day, yet were teaching them a lot of tennis skills, too. Joslin said the facility offers four-to-one ratios of students to tennis professionals, which sets them apart from many facilities. The coaches make tennis really fun, and its a really nonthreatening atmosphere, she said. What kid wouldnt love learning a new sport with new friends, followed by lunch prepared by a resident chef, and swim time to follow?

Women discover their hidden power through Bad-Ass Moms program

BY LAURA OBRIEN
When moms attack!

t all started when she was dropping off her daughter for taekwondo lessons. Carol Cooper, 48, realized that she, too, could enjoy the martial arts by taking the BadAss Moms (BAM) program at The Studio Martial Arts and Fitness in Granite Bay. I saw these neat ladies punching and kicking, and I thought, Wow, she said. Its not just studying the martial
arts but learning the womens self defense and master coaching that kept me coming back every week, because it was out of my comfort zone. Now, two years later, Cooper is preparing to test for her black belt in October. Coopers never-imagined martial arts journey was made possible through instruction and life coaching from Master Amitis Pourarian, the female

owner of the studio. Also known as Master P Pourarian , is a sixth-degree black belt and the highest ranking woman in
the United World Taekwondo Association (UWTA), which is based in Roseville. In addition to taekwondo lessons for children and adults, the studio offers a range of fitness classes. Pourarian said she started BAM a taekwondo program for all women, including non-moms when she realized women in her cardio kickboxing class had the skill and mentality for taekwondo.
I kind of dubbed them badass moms and I built the taekwondo program around it, she said. Unlike other taekwondo classes, BAM incorporates nitty gritty self defense and mentoring, she added. A one-hour class includes practicing a set of forms, or a series of punches and kicks associated with each level in taekwondo, which is

Its their time to do nonmom things, just give to themselves without feeling selfish. She said BAM students range in age up to 53 and come to the class with the gamut of athletic experience some have not worked out in 15 years, some have just given birth, and some were semi-pro athletes.

have a lot of things in my world. I spin plates Here I can come and focus on one thing. Students progress toward their black belts at their own pace. They also may compete in tournaments such as the UWTA spring national tournament held in Rancho Cordova last month. Before completion of the black belt, students must try at least one competition, Pourarian said. On a recent Thursday morning, the padding of bare feet punctuated the quiet as 11 women practiced their forms in traditional martial arts uniforms emblazoned with a highkicking ponytailed woman on the back. Five different belt levels were represented. More experienced students, such as Cooper, gave feedback to less experienced students on improving their moves. Your entire focus and your entire goal is to not get hit, Pourarian said as her students began the contact sparring

meets Tuesday and Thursday mornings as well as Monday and Wednesday evenings. Other classes at the studio include body sculpting, Butts and Guts, prenatal yoga, belly dancing and Persian dancing. Some adult classes are offered at the same time as youth classes, so families can complete their workouts at once. As the BAM students finished their class, they chanted the UWTA student oath in unison, concluding, I will be a champion of freedom and justice. I will build a more peaceful world. For BAM students, peace begins deep within themselves, apart from the distractions of everyday life.

GRANITE BAY VIEW
local sushi empire commemorates its 25th anniversary this month. To help Mikuni celebrate the milestone, a friend and I decided to drop by for a weekday lunchtime visit to Mikuni Kaizen in The Fountains at Roseville. This venue is one of seven Mikuni locations in the greater Sacramento region, with another one in Truckee, Nev. This was my first visit to Kaizen. Our hostess called out a Japanese greeting upon our arrival and we were seated in a comfy booth underneath a large painting of Albert Einstein making sushi. The restaurants interior is sophisticated and modern, with an open feel and exposed ceiling and a completely unpretentious vibe. Mikunis service was so speedy that one would never guess almost every seat was filled on this particular afternoon. I selected the Yasai Roll combo off the lunch menu for a reasonable $9. The dish included an avocado and cucumber roll with sesame seeds, and a veggie tempura roll with asparagus inside and a sliver of fresh avocado mounted on top. I ordered a bowl of $1 Miso soup and this wasnt just any Miso soup. This was the best Ive tasted, with an abundance of green onions and pieces of tofu. The sushi rolls were delicious and just the right bite size. Is it tasting amazing? asked our charming waiter, to which we eagerly nodded our heads. My friend chose the bento box for $9.50 with the

Avokyu Roll, which is an avocado and cucumber roll, and the California Roll. Yes, I know, of all the sushi choices available, we managed to select simple options. After all, Mikunis extensive menu features more than 300 original creations. In January, Mikuni premiered 25 Sushi Roll panko shrimp, crab salad and albacore tuna, topped with a special sauce, then torched and garnished with unagi sauce and crunchy tempura bits. This special dish is part of the Mikuni Restaurant Groups promotions to celebrate their anniversary. We are so incredibly grateful to our guests for giving us the opportunity to serve them over the years, said CEO Haru Sakata, in a news release. We want to be able to celebrate with everyone who helped us get here, and we hope these promotions and prizes will show our loyal patrons how much we appreciate them.
The Arai family opened the first Mikuni restaurant in Fair Oaks in 1987. The husbandand-wife team prepared food, while their children Kotaro, Naomichi and Keiko worked as a greeter, busser and server. In 1999, the family opened a location in Roseville. More restaurants followed: A sushi bar in midtown Sacramento, Taros in Market Square at Arden Fair, Mikuni Elk Grove, Mikuni Northstar in Truckee and a second location in Roseville. But Mikuni isnt all about food. The companys charitable foundation has donated more than $1 million dollars in cash, gift cards and in-kind contributions to schools, churches and civic organizations throughout the Sacramento region. Back to my recent lunch. I finished eating quickly, prompting our waiter did I mention he was charming? to ask if I needed anything else. Are you satisfied? he asked, smiling. Want another roll? My friend ate slower we agreed his ineptitude with chopsticks may have been to blame. As you probably guessed, hes not a regular sushi eater. He describes himself as not opposed to sushi. So I was surprised when he said, I liked it. Id come back. Thats a glowing recommendation in his book.

Placer County cookbook authors keep it local, keep it Real

BY KRISSI KHOKHOBASHVILI
oanne Neft and Laura Kenny love the farmers market. The weekly markets throughout Placer County have become community gathering places where families and farmers meet to talk about what food is in season and where it comes from. That farm-to-table concept served as the inspiration for Placer County Real Food, a collection of menus for every week of the year. The food, purchased at local farmers markets, was prepared by Neft and Kenny, photographed by Keith Sutter and served at weekly dinners. The cookbook, re-

leased in April 2010, has become a staple in kitchens throughout the country although its enthusiastic reception came as a welcome surprise to its authors. Joanne and I were wondering if we were going to be sitting on 9,000 copies of the book, we truly were, Kenny laughed. Now the authors are preparing for the release of The Art of Real Food, published by Nefts In Season Publishing. This book is different in that it focuses on a fruit or vegetable at its peak of flavor that particular week of the year, Neft explained. The book is divided into weeks, each featuring recipes that call for

that weeks star. All ingredients were purchased at the farmers market. An upcoming week focuses on red chard and rhubarb, offering meals
such as Swiss chard soup and fried chard stems with blue cheese. The cookbook also contains an abundance of information about eating healthfully. It provides a concrete way for people to understand how to eat seasonally and from local food
sources, said Carol Arnold, general manager of the Foothill Farmers Market. Its an excellent tool that if they go into the market they can buy foods that are both familiar and unfamiliar, and know immediately how to prepare them. Although stocked with healthy recipes, the book also includes a few indulgences, referred to as love by its authors. Those treats arent forbidden, they say, but should be eaten in moderation. Neft and Kenny agreed that a favorite recipe in the new book is for Meyer lemon pudding. Like many of the more than 250 recipes in the book, it was submitted by a friend.

The open area to the dinette and family room and kitchen you can see everything that is going on in the yard or the pool from every vantage point. The homeowners have redone the hardwood floors in a lustrous hand scraped wood that shines with a pecan hue, and the carpets are variations of shale and slate throughout. The effect is warm and welcoming. A home office with glass doors greets visitors a room that parallels a full bath and can easily be converted to a guest bedroom, as needed. Formal living and dining, one sunken, the other a step up, utilize beautiful woodwork and perfectly placed, sunny windows to create a space that feels

upscale, yet livable and inviting. The super-bright kitchen all whites and cool grays and blues gives the home a Cape Cod feel that instantly puts visitors at ease. The kitchen includes dishwasher, trash compactor, extra-wide double ovens and cooktop. A triple sink in gleaming porcelain rests in a long bar that separates the kitchen from family room, and offers enough seating to accommodate a family of four. A pop-out set of windows surrounds the dinette area and

continued from page 19 ensures breakfast with a view perfectly-placed foliage, towering redwoods and rooftops. The family room includes a cozy fireplace with showy floor-to-ceiling white wainscoting. The covered back patio really extends the family room, Dixon said. The homes exterior has a fresh coat of paint, as does the backyard outbuilding, which is an ideal storage space for pool equipment or lawn-care items. One of the homeowners favorite amenities is the three-car garage that includes an extra-long boat storage space with pass-through double garage doors. The homeowners also love the propertys double staircases. Its so easy for the kids to come in from the backyard and just head upstairs, Dixon said.
The upstairs includes a large bonus loft with views and, of course, a sumptuous master bed and bath that includes pop-out window-filled seating area and soaring ceilings. This home has a great master. Its located to the rear of the house, and includes beautiful views and room for a lot of furniture, Dixon said. The master bath includes a large shower, separate spa tub and his and hers closets. The hers closet is bigger than most couples closets no arguing over hanging space, here, Dixon said. According to Dixon, the home is ideally located on the lot and includes a whole-house fan with two heat and air systems. In addition, the home is a short walk from Eureka School District schools and Granite Bay High School.

Oak Creek Training Stables teaches more than horsemanship
BY TINKA DAVI
Liz Stohlman jumps her horse, Cedrick, over an obstacle in training for competition at Oak Creek Stables in Granite Bay.
ucked away in Granite Bay is a quiet, pastoral spot in an area thats remote yet populated with homes, ponds and pastures. At the end of a tree-lined road that has become gravel, is Oak Creek Training Stables which offers English riding programs for students of all levels and ages. They receive instruction in eventing, hunter/jumpers and dressage. We teach a lot of good, solid basics of riding, stable management and safety, said Carmela Richards, Oak Creeks owner and riding instructor. Its a good program and helpful to people prior to their buying their own horse. Oak Creek Training Stables is located on around 15 acres where five ponds dot the property thats set in a forest of oak trees. Its great in the summer, Richards said. Its 10 degrees cooler than other areas because of the shade. On this sunny, but breezy cool day, she invites visitors to walk the property and view the barns, stables and arenas. There are three allweather arenas, two large jumping arenas, a crosscountry course and an Olympic size dressage arena with huge mirrors that allow students to check their riding skills. Near the barn is a wooden building that houses the office. Tacked to the side is a

whiteboard listing the horses names. Riders are put on horses that are appropriate for their abilities, she said. There are a lot of choices. As she reads their names, she describes the character of the horses. Newton and Lickety are good for beginners. Toby takes small jumps exceedingly well. Annie is smooth and good for learning to cantor ... Other horses on the list are Innish, a good, solid citizen who knows the lead changes as he goes around the arena, and Mardi, who is a bit mischievous and more likely to fool around, she said. Another whiteboard lists upcoming shows for students. Theres three-day eventing, which Richards describes as a horse triathlon with dressage, stadium jumping and cross country jumping. Some students show in Oregon and Southern California or at the national championships in Kentucky or Illinois. A lot of students dont show and thats OK, Richards said. However, the students who go to events are highly successful. There are many ways to

continued from page 22 win when riding, she said. Its not just bringing home a blue ribbon, but doing better. Competition is good for goal setting. Students can ask themselves, Did I improve? People here are friendly and supportive, Richards said. The big kids help the little kids. Its like paying forward and paying back. Oak Creek is not a public boarding stable; however, students can board their own horses or they ride horses that belong to the stables. Because they always ride the same horse, they refer to the animal as their horse. Its also theirs to care for. What horses have to offer kids is organic,

STABLES: Riding can empower young girls

Richards said. They work with the animal, are responsible for their care and need to communicate non-verbally with the animal. Whenever they ride, they are training the animal, she said. In turn, the horses help the students. Horses teach life lessons, especially to kids. They learn goal setting, problem solving, taking responsibility, thinking ahead, assessing where you are at. Richards said. Horses arent DVD players. Its not programming or not like riding a bicycle. Students are learning to train. Girls especially benefit. Riding empowers young ladies to take a 1,000pound animal, tell it what to do and take care of it,

she said. Being outdoors with the animals also is good for human souls. Riding has always been part of Richards life. She was raised on a 30- to 40acre boarding stable. I rode. My parents rode, she said. When she decided to become a professional, she went to school in West Virginia and received a Bachelor of Science degree in equine studies and several riding instructor certifications. She has 45 years professional horse training and instructional experience the last 25 years as owner and certified riding instructor at Oak Creek. Richards doesnt ride alongside her students,

Here are some personality-based gift ideas that are sure to please your mother no matter what her style, interests, or age. Foodie moms Why not an apron embroidered with her first name, a gourmet box of chocolates, or a fancy highquality kitchen gadget? If your budget is more ample, she would surely love a gastronomic weekend away, with meals featuring local products and a couple of nights in a cozy inn. Tender-hearted moms Opt for a heart-shaped locket, a jewelry box engraved with a loving message, or a digital photograph frame filled with family photos. Or how about a personalized novel in which she plays the heroine and recounts her experiences as a young woman or as a mother. Active moms If she loves being active but is hesitant to treat herself, offer her some sports equipment that she wouldnt splurge for herself. Or make a gift of a short- or long-term membership at the nearest gym or a few sessions with a personal trainer. Curious moms How about a subscription to a newspaper or magazine, a tablet computer, or books about different travel destinations? You could also offer a daytrip to a museum or art gallery in a neighboring town or city. Pampered moms If your mom loves feeling pampered, then a massage at the spa is just the thing. A box of different herbal teas or coffees would also be well received, as would bath products or a pair of ultra-comfortable slippers.

continued from page 24 but teaches from the ground, as she puts it. As she walks around the arena, she talks constantly, encouraging students, telling them what to do. This is certainly a balance game, Richards said. I have lots of experience training and have lots to offer students. I know what it should look like and feel like. Several students work around the barn in exchange for lessons and they love it. Liz Stohlman, 20, who rides Cedric, likes just everything at Oak Creek. Ive been here about 10 years and I love the barn community, she said. Its just like one big family and its a peaceful atmosphere. Shayna Silcox, 17, who rides Copper, thinks the atmosphere is calming. If I have a bad day at school, I come here and this is stress relieving, she said. I love spending time with my second mom (Carmela) and dealing with other people. You dont have to like everybody, but you can respect people. If she didnt work in the barn, Shayna said, she wouldnt have the opportunity to ride. She receives lessons in exchange for her work. Amanda Blake, 15, who has been at Oak Creek for seven years, also said she loves riding and spending time at Oak Creek. Its like family. She works on Sunday mornings and cleans stalls. Its more than just about horses Ive learned friendship, Amanda said. William Lynch, 13, likes the opportunity of being able to ride every day. He

spends about 20 hours a week at Oak Creek and feeds 35 horses every Monday morning. His mom, Joanne Lynch of Granite Bay, explained that William and his sister, Julia, 11, wanted to spend more time with their horses, so she home schools them. Its their second home, Lynch said. William helped build a manure ramp and had to figure measurements in the process, his mom said. He gets so much education here. Riding is so much about physics. She thinks the kids at Oak Creek are amazing. They are responsible, intelligent and well-balanced. They know when to be serious and the older kids are huge role models. Erin Meredith has been an instructor for years. She rode here as a youngster and returned. Im so pleased to have her, Richards said. Shes an outrageously experienced instructor and so encouraging. In addition to riding, the students enjoy many activities at the barn, Richards said. They have slumber parties, secret Santas, create Halloween costumes for their horses and participate in other activities. It is like one big, happy family with a lot in common.

Ryan Christners extra point turned a loss on the scoreboard into smiles for his team
Football is such an emotional game for everyone, players and their parents, but when you add the circumstances that unfolded last year during this game, you are reminded of the point of youth sports.

Football/cheer program: The organization is accepting registrations for the fall 2012 football and cheer program. Program open to boys and girls ages 7-13.

Ryan Christners teammates carried him off the field and chanted his name after he ran for an extra point in the Granite Bay Junior Grizzlies playoff loss in October.
he Granite Bay Junior Grizzlies are taking registrations for next falls football program, and Ryan Christner plans to be a part of the action again. Newbies to the program no doubt will hear about what Ryan, 11, did to help his Junior Grizzlies teammates and their fans turn a season-ending playoff loss into a celebration. Diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, Ryan became the rallying point of his Junior Grizzlies Pee Wee team. Ryan has been an offensive and defensive tackle in his two years in the program, but he balked at head coach Jeff Powers offer to play running back. I saw some running backs get injured and get crying, Ryan said on a beautiful midApril afternoon in the dining room of his Granite Bay home. When I actually did it, it was very fun. Powers saw in Ryan a kid who always showed up on time for practices and games and worked hard. Powers wanted to give Ryan the ball, but Ryan wasnt having any. Powers mentioned it during every game, but Ryan stuck to his guns. He wanted no part of it, Powers said. Everybody wants to be the running back, until they get hit and crushed; then they dont want to do it. Then came the first round of
PRESS TRIBUNE SPORTS EDITOR
the Sierra Valley USA playoffs and a game against Lincoln. Granite Bay defeated the Junior Zebras in the second week of the regular season, but Lincoln pulled away in the rematch. When it became apparent to me we werent going to win, I said to Ryan, This is our chance. Youre going in, Powers said. The Junior Grizzlies drove 80 yards in the final two minutes and scored a touchdown. Powers gathered the point-after unit and said, Christner is getting the ball. Dont stop until you get across the line. Thats what he did. The players sprinted to the end zone, lifted Ryan onto their shoulders and carried him off the field chanting CHRISTNER, CHRIST-NER. Even Lincoln players gave Ryan highfives. We were just in shock he was the ball carrier and made the extra point, said Ryans mom, Annie, who was joined in the stands by Ryans aunt and two cousins. Everyone in the stands was saying, It was Ryan. It was Ryan. And everyone was jumping up and down and cheering. The organization has just been so accepting of Ryan. The coaches have been awesome.

Granite Bay High School performing arts teacher Jim Prichard sits on stage of the drama programs spring production, Legally Blonde the Musical. Prichard started teaching at the school in 1999 and will retire at the end of the school year.
Its curtains for longtime drama teacher

Jim Prichards students at Granite Bay High School are performing Legally Blonde
BY SENA CHRISTIAN
THE PRESS TRIBUNE
ith their teacher in earshot, students at Granite Bay High School joke about how much they dislike this authority figure which couldnt be further
from the truth. Your grades depend on this, says drama teacher Jim Prichard, in a mockingly stern voice. Then the truth comes out with declarations of admiration and respect. Hes a wonderful
teacher, so compassionate and he really cares about all of us, says junior Alanna Wilson. I love Mr. Prichard He puts all his effort into the show. But he can be firm, which is good. I like the strength he brings.
Wilson and several of her cast mates for the production of Legally Blonde the Musical agree: Prichards retirement at the end of this school year will be a major loss. Hes taught performing arts there since 1999, three years after the campus opened. Its a legacy ending, says senior Sara Beil. Beil has performed in a musical each year since she was a freshman. She plays a Delta Nu sorority girl and friend of lead character Elle Woods in Legally Blonde. Its really an intense musical, Beil says. There are so many set changes and so many costume changes its a very fun musical and I think that will show through at performance
time. The plot centers on Elle, a sorority girl who dresses in all-pink outfits and loves pampering. But when her boyfriend dumps her for someone more serious, Elle heads to Harvard Law School to try to win him back. The play is based on the popular 2001 movie starring Reese Witherspoon. The rights for the musical recently became available and Prichard says a lot of schools are jumping on the opportunity to perform the show. Its a great fit for high school drama programs, he says. Most (programs) are heavy on girls and light on guys. This musical has a lot of great roles for females. The 28-member cast includes senior Sharon Vaupen who plays
This is an amazing school and a great facility. Its a drama teachers dream. With this being the last semester, Im really appreciating the good moments.

Paulette, a hairdresser and Elles best friend. Im the bend-andsnap one, she says, referencing a move used to attract male suitors. Vaupen has performed in school productions since freshman year and this marks her last hurrah. High school would have totally been a different experience if I wasnt in (drama), she says. Its also the final show for Prichard, who plans to spend retirement with family and traveling. His wife, Rita, is Granite Bay High Schools speech and
Hes a wonderful teacher, so compassionate and he really cares about all of us He puts all his effort into the show. But he can be firm, which is good. I like the strength he brings.
Alanna Wilson, Granite Bay High School junior
debate teacher and shes also bidding adieu at the end of the year.
Prichard previously worked at Galt High School for 25 years before Granite Bay administrators came knocking on his wifes door. We came as a package, he says. It was a tough decision after 25 years. This is an amazing school and a great facility. Its a drama teachers dream. The theater building has a stage, scene shop and classroom. Through the years, Prichard has worked to improve production value. For instance, the program began with two wireless
mics and now has 32, so all the kids can be heard. They also perform with a live orchestra. First-year Granite Bay English teacher Kyle Holmes will take over as drama teacher in the fall. The school puts on three main stage productions a year, which makes Legally Blonde the 36th show in Prichards Granite Bay career. His favorite show is always the one theyre currently working on, he says. Hes welcoming retirement, although its bittersweet. Its kind of a happysad thing, with moments like this Prichard says, trailing off as he beams at his young actors rehearsing. With this being the last semester, Im really appreciating the good moments.

How do kids think, learn and behave intelligently?

Know the power of the brain
Sheri Hitchings You and Your Kids
uring my education career as a teacher, learning coordinator, GATE director and principal, my goal was to actively discover how kids most effectively learn. I researched imagination and how kids think and learn in two masters projects. Most incredible was discovering newfound tools that worked. I trained the teachers and parents separately, after the parents and I tested 90 students (grades 1-6), we unbelievably came up with similar results. Classroom teachers agreed with our results. Then I taught the students how their learning styles and critical thinking skills helped them learn. Two incredible gurus for me were Gabriele Lusser Rico, Ph. D. who I met and discussed my masters projects (www. writingthenaturalway.co m) and Tony Buzan (Use Both Sides of Your Brain and The Mind Map). I also devoured Howard Gardners work on the Seven Intelligences. Fortunately, I had training by Sacramentos Dr. Art Costa and other leading thinking gurus.
BRAIN POWER
Which of the above characteristics sound like your child? The Word Player learns best by saying, hearing and seeing words. The Questioner learns best by categorizing, classifying and abstract relationships. The Visualizer enjoys discovering the whole picture through drawing, building and daydreaming. The Mover moves around, touches, talks and learns best visualizing, dreaming and working with pictures. The Music Lover sings, hums, is good at picking up sounds and playing instruments, remembers best through rhythm and music. The Socializer follows instincts and learns best by sharing, cooperating, and relating. The Individual learns best by sharing, individualized projects and having his own space.
Google left and right brain for the characteristics; copy, then check off the ones your child exhibits and/or says he prefers as you ask him his preferences. Discuss what you discover. Use the knowledge to help your child better understand how to do homework and study for tests. For example: Right Brain Child: Have your child use clustering or mind mapping to organize information and ideas about a subject. Allow the child to learn things visually, seeing for himself the whole picture. Left Brain Child: Find ways to promote logical and sequential thinking because this child likes the facts.
Multiple intelligences:
Use a checklist for these characteristics.

child, you will be amazed how important the information will be. In addition, while supporting your child as a learner use persistence and understanding. Make your child take time to think and generate more than one answer. Find ways to encourage responsible listening, patience and flexibility. Be sure to allow for reflective thinking. Ask whats going on in your childs head. The atmosphere needs to be encouraging so questions are easily answered. Use past experiences to help your child understand something new or unknown. Have your child speak in complete sentences and develop the senses. Encourage creativity free from criticism. Above all, incredibly, the way we respond to our childs inquisitiveness and respect his curiosity encourages effective and productive thinking and learning.

Fuel your muscles before and after exercise

Deb Skelton Fitness Column
hat you eat before and after exercise has a huge impact on your results. Think about that. You could be doing intense workouts, pushing yourself hard in the gym, but then eating all the wrong foods that keep your body looking the same. I dont know about you, but if Im going to put in all that effort in the gym, I certainly dont want my results hijacked by poor nutrition. Transforming your body comes down to two simple parts: 1) consistent, challenging exercise and 2) balanced, proper nutrition. When you skip on the balanced, proper nutrition, you cheat yourself out of the sculpted physique that you should have.
The food you eat prior to and following exercise plays a key role in the overall success of your workout. What you eat and when you eat can either help you burn more calories and build more muscle or it can hinder your weight-loss and muscle-mass goals.
and muscles. During intense exercise, your body uses up this stored energy. Not having a store of energy, your body cant function at its potential. Healthy pre- and post-workout foods provide your body with the glycogen needed to fuel your muscles during aerobic and anaerobic exercise. For some, this means heading to the gym on an empty stomach. Unfortunately, when you exercise with your bodys gas tank on empty, your body will start to take the amino acids from your muscles and convert them to the glucose you need for energy. Therefore, instead of burning fat, you may actually break down your muscle! This is the opposite of what you want to do. In order to burn fat, you need to fuel up with something nutritious an hour to an hour and a half before working out. This gives your body enough time to digest the food and make the energy available for exercising. Good examples of healthy pre-workout meals or snacks to give your body the energy it needs to exercise include highfiber cereal with skim milk, a two- to three-ounce turkey breast, a low sugar energy bar, banana, poached egg with whole-wheat toast and grapefruit, or a lean turkey burger.
The food you eat prior to and following exercise plays a key role in the overall success of your workout. What you eat and when you eat can either help you burn more calories and build more muscle or it can hinder your weight-loss and muscle-mass goals. Heres how it works. Your body gets energy from the carbohydrates you eat. Carbohydrates are converted to glucose, and unused glucose is then converted to glycogen, which is stored in your liver
Pre-workout fuel
Many people find that exercising first thing in the morning works best for their schedule.

Dont have time to eat a meal before exercising? You still need to eat something. A quick way to give your body immediate energy is to eat a simple carbohydrate such as fruit or juice in a protein drink or shake 15 to 30 minutes prior to working out. And avoid heavy meals before exercising, as these large meals may slow you down and make you feel sluggish during your routine. The combination of food to eat before a workout should contain complex and simple carbohydrates, fiber, and lowfat protein to give you energy, keep you feeling full, and help regulate a normal blood sugar level. Try to make sure each preworkout meal or snack contains this combination of nutrients. Not having the right amount of carbs for energy will hinder your ability to burn calories, build muscle, and exercise to your full potential.
Your muscles need protein and carbs within half an hour to an hour and a half following exercise.
Replenish post-workout
The goal of post-workout nutrition is to help muscles rebuild and strengthen following the stress and loss of glycogen they experience during exercise. To replenish energy stores, your muscles need protein and carbohydrates within half an hour to an hour and a half following exercise. Examples of post-workout snacks and meals include a four- to six-ounce turkey breast and brown rice, a green salad with grilled chicken, or a smoothie with fresh fruit and low-fat yogurt. The next time you head to the gym to lift weights or go to the pool to swim laps, make sure your body is fueled up with the complex carbs, pro-

tein, and fiber it needs for energy and stamina. And after your workout, replenish the lost energy. Make sure your future workouts are energized with proper fueling and you will get the results that you deserve!

Budding wordsmiths have the write stuff

BY EILEEN WILSON
EILEEN WILSON GRANITE BAY VIEW
Jan Sanders entertains kids at the Young Writers Showcase that took place on April 19 at the Granite Bay Library. The event encourages kids to read and write.
f you think spring is here, just ask writer Elise Fisher. Her free-verse poem Spring made a big splash at the recent Young Writers Showcase at Granite Bay Library. From sunflowers growing big to kids playing in puddles and green grass growing, her bit of writing brought out the very essence of the season. Elise, a first-grader at Oakhills School in the Eureka Union School District, was just one of more than 30 children to be honored for their outstanding writing skills at the annual event that has parents, kids and the community appreciating kids writing and reading. Begun in 1997, the annual event (though there was a hiatus last year) is a favorite of organizer Rhonda Tory and her
GRANITE BAY VIEW
fellow Friends of the Granite Bay Library. The event is very popular, Tory said. When we skipped last year, we received feedback from staff and parents that they were disappointed. The students are so proud of themselves, and they truly feel honored to be chosen. Barbara Ford, a second-grade teacher at Greenhills School, proudly watched her student, Noah Mitcheom take his winners ribbon. Noah wrote his story about a real event a time when he and his cousin were being mean to each other, but they ultimately saw the fun in their relationship, and they had a good time together, Ford said. Of course, its nearly impossible for the kindergartenthrough-third-grade teachers at both schools to select which
46
stories should be showcased at the event. Each K-3 teacher is invited to select a student whose work stands out in some way, either by virtue of its content or as an example of improvement for that particular child, Tory said. But it takes more than one person to make an event like this a success. Plenty of people, plus chocolate chip cookies and cold drinks, created a standing-room only event where parents and kids cheered one anothers accomplishments. Carolsue Acres and Leah Flake, both retired reading specialists in the Eureka School District, founded the event, and Acres remains on the planning committee. And the showcase still thrives in its erudite location, thanks to Granite Bay Librarys librarian, Shari Dearing, and the entire library staff.
After kids received their hard-earned ribbons, they enjoyed a presentation by nationally known educator and puppeteer Jan Sanders, who entertained them with Fluffers and her troupe of puppets. Sanders gathers students work in advance, and integrates kids writing in her presentation. Kids are riveted, Tory said. What Tory wants kids to take home is a sense of accomplishment and a realization of how important reading, writing, and spending time at their library is. Events like these are important because they encourage students to enjoy literacy and writing, and continue to use their fresh, creative voices, Tory said. For some students, being chosen for this event is that extra boost to their confidence that allows them to believe in themselves and in their ability to write.
Oakhills first-grader Elise Fisher shows off her story that was recognized at the Young Writers Showcase at Granite Bay Library.

Amazing Volcano is erupting with adventure and history

BY SHERI HITCHINGS
olcano was first inhabited by the Mi-Wok Indians. White men first entered the valley of Volcano during the winter of 1848. Gold flakes were rare. Making up camp until spring, Jonathan Stevensons New York 7th Regiment discovered gold mining would be easier. Soldiers Gulch became the name of the area. People were attracted from all over the world when gold was discovered. Impressive limestone filled the strange crater-like valley. Because early morning mist rose from the valley floor, the new settlers named it Volcano. Rich deposits of placer gold were dug, picked and mined. The hydraulic monitor ripped open hills, and about 90 million dollars worth of color was found. Volcano developed a cultural center, was first to have a lending library, debate society, theater group, private law school, an astronomical observatory site and several dance halls. By 1858, the population was 5,000 and nature had healed itself from mans fever for gold. Today, Volcano, the most picturesque of the Mother Lode towns, is growing and thriving with a population of 1,071.
Simple, stylish four-room inn with restaurant Sunset Magazine reports in December 2010. Come to Volcano where the stars are your nightlight and the crickets lull you to sleep. Enjoy a homemade breakfast, luxury beddings and linens, oversized tiled showers and sunken tubs. A whole bus load of travelers were having lunch in the inn as we visited. As they left, we heard, Delicious food. The rooms look comfortable as well.
Activities galore
Visit the fantastic blooming daffodils in town and on the infamous Daffodil Hill. Volcano is also home to Black Chasm Caverns, a National Natural Landmark. It is called the best helicite cave in the west. Also enjoy the California Caverns to see the Mammoth Cave Expedition and the Middle Earth Expedition. Dont miss the Twin Zip Lines at the Moaning Cavern Park or discover Bark House in Indian Grinding Rock State Park. New camping facilities are available in May 2012, no reservations required. Be first to get a site.

Activities
Nearby activities include hiking, cycling and cave exploration. The Cobblestone Theatre on Main Street was first established in 1854. It continues on in the town through the efforts of the Volcano Theatre Company. The company conducts a full season each year, performing in both the 35-seat Cobblestone Theatre and in the larger outdoor Volcano Amphitheater.

Downstairs is a parlor and a grand fireplace. Unfortunately, The St.
