The calendar says Augustand that means back to school.

No, it cant be. I always thoughtstudents didnt go back toschool until the day after Labor

Day.I guess those days are gone

because I know in just a days

the parking lot at Granite Bay

High School will be full and thetraffic on East Roseville Park-

way will be congested duringthe morning and afternoonhours.

At least the students in theelementary schools still have afew more weeks of summer

bliss.It seems like yesterday when

my own two daughters lived at

home and we all enjoyed oursummer breaks, even though itfelt like each season was short-

er and shorter.I remember the thrill they

had shopping for school sup-

plies, buying new backpacks,notebooks and folders. Finding

that perfect lunchbox withLittle Mermaid or Beautyand the Beast and the match-

ing thermos made the daycomplete.

I also recall both of them

waiting in anticipation for theday before school when wedgo to their school campus to

see which teacher they wouldhave, and the most importantpart, checking the student list

to see how many friends wouldbe in their class.

Even though we dont have

those same end-of-summerrituals anymore at our house, Iknow the process continues for

many families in our commu-nity.

In this issue weve d

several stories to helpiite Bay families make day go smooth for par

children alike.Check out page 8 for

Water, water everywhere norany drop to drink.

Gail Rainwater is a firmbeliever in you are what youdrink.

Unfortunately, according toRainwater, what comes out ofthe tap isnt always whats right

for a healthy body.Enter Kangen Water, a com-

pany that has enjoyed success

for 34 years in Japan, but is fair-ly new on the scene in theUnited States.

Kangen, pronounced congon, means return to the ori-gin. Kangen is a device that

filters water, to be sure, but itsmuch more than a mere waterfilter according to Rainwater.

Attached to your sink, thedevice creates an electrolysisprocess, which splits the H 2O

molecules in half, creating neg-ative ions. In other words, itseparates the water into an

acidic molecule, which is idealfor cleaning purposes, and an

alkaline molecule, whichmeans healthier drinkingwater said Rainwater.

Rainwater said she becameinterested in the device while

suffering from health prob-lems.

Somebody brought overthis container of water for us to

try. I have arthritis in my kneeand lower back, she said. Istarted drinking the water and

I found I was able to go up anddown the stairs more easily.When we ran out of the water,

the problems came right back,so we went and bought amachine.

Rainwater was excited aboutthe idea of helping others, anddecided to become a represen-

tative for Kangen water herself.Its my goal just to educatepeople. Lots of people with

health problems want to justtake a pill, she said. When I

hurt my knee, my doctor justsaid, heres an anti-inflamma-tory, heres some pain pills.

Theres nothing we can do.

But Rainwater didnt acceptthe doctors diagnosis.

She thinks people are

becoming more aware of beinggreen of not using chemicalsin their bodies, and outside as

well.

I want to share with people who are more attuned to

homeopathic remedies, shesaid. Once people start feel-ing better after drinking the

water, they really want to geteducated about health andchange their lifestyles.

Candi Lozano, a Roseville

resident who has been usingthe Kangen water device for

almost a year, couldnt agreemore completely.

I tried the water at Gails

house, and it helped the veryfirst day with my allergies.

After a week of drinking thewater, I had no allergies at all,she said.

In addition, Lozano credits

the water for curing her of hermigraine headaches shed beensuffering from since she was a

child.I said, Im not having

headaches anymore, wow.She saved her pennies and

bought a Kangen device assoon as she could.

I couldnt live without it,

she said. When I go out to arestaurant, I bring my own lit-tle bottle of water. I wont even

touch any other water.In addition, Lozano said the

water has helped her familydog, an Akita, with chronic hipproblems and arthritis.

The machine has several set-tings for different acid or alka-line levels in the water.

While water with a high lev-el of acidity isnt consideredoptimal drinking water, the

acidity is preferred for cleaningand killing viruses and bacteriaon surfaces.

Strong-acid water kills sal-monella, e-coli, HIV virus and just a wealth of bacteria and

germs, Rainwater sa

hospitals this (water) iuse to wash hands begery, and also to

equipment.According to RainwKangen system is use

out of five homes in Jais used extensively inrants, schools, and oth

tutions. She said the Jconsider the treated H

Time to go back to school are they read

BY EILEEN WILSON

GRANITE BAY VIEW

Pencils and post-its have

been purchased, backpacksand binder paper bought withcare. But teachers and princi-

pals know that kids back-to-school readiness cant bebought in any store.

There are several ways par-ents can help kids do well inschool.

Principals from EurekaUnion School Districts upperelementary and junior high

schools were asked to sharetheir secrets.

Fourth grade is a year of

great significance. Studentsare transitioning from class-size reduction (20 students or

fewer) to classes closer to 30,said Ridgeviews Principal,Patrice McCallum. Students

get less individual attentionfrom teachers, and in fourthgrade, students are transition-

ing from learning to read, toreading to learn.

Diane Duncan, principal atExcelsior agrees.

Students are used to receiv-ing more attention fromadults. It can be a difficulttransition for parents to let go

and let their child learn frommistakes, she said.

McCallum said the first step

to help ease the transitionfrom K-3 to upper grades is tovisit the campus before the

first day of school, attend thestudent/parent orientation,and attend the class assign-

ment night.Fourth grade is often a more

difficult transition for the par-

ents than it is for the students,McCallum said, citing thatfourth grade is an important

time for kids to assume moreresponsibility.

Parents need to stay

involved, but need to let their

child revel in their successes soit is authentic success. They

also need to let their child learn

by mistakes, she said.Duncan added kids will ulti-

mately be more successful ifparents allow them to takeresponsibility. The parents

role can be to support theclassroom teacher by enforcing

school responsibilities andexpectations at home.

In EUSD we are very fortu-

nate to have supportive par-ents that get involved and ask

thoughtful questions whenthey need clarification, Dun-can said. I would say that

keeping this positive focus isthe keystone of success for our

children.Though the principals

encourage personal responsi-

bility in students, they encour-age parent involvement too.

We love and welcome par-ent involvement, McCallumsaid.

But she acknowledges it canbe difficult for parents, espe-

cially with their oldest

know when or howinvolved.

When in doubt, teacher or principal.here to help and as

ents, she said.

Jennifer Platt and Kham, principals of Ca

Olympus junior high respectively, agree thatresponsibility and

involvement are imposuccessful school care

The main thing

need to do is take an acin their childs educatiin contact with the

teachers, and on top oand student organGraham said. But

full independence. Juniorhigh is where you have to pro-

vide a structure that kids canhave freedom within.

Another important way she

said parents can help studentssucceed during their schoolcareers is to support the

school, by reinforcing schoolrules at home, and showingrespect for kids teachers.

Kids can work through prob-lems they may have in class byapproaching the teacher on

their own, with their parentshelp, Platt said. We need toteach kids how to approach

their teachers respectfully.In addition, children who are

expected to follow the rules at

home, will be more likely tofollow rules at school.

The community needs to

recognize that our rules are notintended to oppress theyreintended to provide a struc-

ture, and that freedoms can begiven within that structure. Wehave to run a safe and orderlyenvironment, and protect your

child, and 500 others as well,Platt said.

Duncan suggests the most

important way parents canhelp their kids in school is byfinding a way to stay involved,

by volunteering.It truly does take a village to

raise our children, and by stay-

ing involved, we can continue tobe partners with the same goalof raising strong citizens who

can think critically and makegood decisions, Duncan said.

The EUSD principals said

they are looking forward to agreat year, and welcoming allthe children. They stressed

the fun activities, not justschool rules and policies, are what make the school year

special.

As a gift from two Granite

and allow the players to talk

and breathe normally. Theyoffer the most protection,Dahle said, because they

adhere to all crevices of thebite and minimize the shockof the collision.

According to the National Youth Sports Foundation forthe Prevention of Athletic

Injuries, victims of serious

tooth damage may face life-time dental costs of $10,000 -

$15,000 per tooth, hours in thedental office and a serious riskof developing periodontal dis-

ease.Its too late to deal with

these injuries after they hap-

pen, Zanzi said. But if we canhelp prevent them, were morethan happy to care of the

team.The importance of using a

mouth guard that protects all

surfaces of the teeth cannot beoverstated, Jacobson said.

Everyone is learning aboutwhat quality dentistry can dofor quality of life, he said.

Athletes interested in thefree dental services visitedZanzi and Jacobson to get

molds taken of their teeth andthe impressions were sent to

the Dahles lab. From thereDahle spent, from beginning

to end, about 40 minutes oncreating the actual mouthguard. Each student was pro-

vided with one mouth guard; ifthey wished to purchase an

additional, they could buy oneat a discounted price of $12.

Im just so impressed thattheyre concerned with ourboys health, said GBHS Foot-

GRANITE BAY VIEW

Summer days are coming to

an end.Just when parents thought

they couldnt take another dayof having the kids at home, itstime to head back to school.

Getting ready for a newschool year can be easy andstress-free for kids and par-

ents with a little guidance andpreparation before the bigday.

2 WEEKS BEFORE

Shop for school supplies.Try to shop for supplies as

early as possible to take

advantage of back-to-schoolsales that can help reduce thecost of many essentials like

notebooks and pencils.Many teachers will provide

a list of required materials for

each student as well as com-

munity supplies for the class-room. Remember, many

classrooms are desperate for

paper towels and tissues byChristmas break. Go through

your childs school suppliesfrom the previous year andreuse whenever possible. Get

more bang from last yearsbuck by re-using folders,binders and half-full note-

books.

CLOTHING

Unless your school requiresa uniform, back-to-school

clothes shopping can causeheadaches for families andtheir budgets.

Go through your childsdresser and closet and get ridof clothes that are ruined or

no longer fit. Donate gentlyworn items to local charitieslike Salvation Army or ReNew

boutique in Roseville. Pur-

chase the essentials duringsummer back-to-school sales

taking into consideration

clothing your child alreadyhas. Choose a special first day

of school outfit with yourchild and make sure yourchilds clothing complies with

school dress code policies.

BACKPACK

If a new backpack is in orderthis year, make sure lugging

books and homework isnt apain in the back.

Look for a backpack with

wide, padded shoulder strapsand a padded back. A back-pack with an additional waist

belt will help distribute weightmore evenly, reducing shoul-der strain.

Bigger isnt better when itcomes to backpacks. Look fora small backpack that will suit

your childs needs and fit their

school sup-

plies. Ideally,a backpackrests against

thecurve ofthe lower

back and isno wider thanthe childs tor-

so.

If a wheeledbackpack isthe route youchoose, check

with yourschool first.Backpacks

from school if they are walk-

ing or biking or walk to thebus stop a few times beforethe big day.

Sometimes school campus-es are open the week leadingup to the first day of school.

The first day at a new schoolis especially unnerving so atour of the campus without

the excitement and chaos of

other children may put back-to-school jitters to rest. Make

sure your child knows wheretheir classroom and the near-est bathroom is located.

If your child will be dealingwith lockers, practice open-ing a locker at home with a

combination lock or sched-ule a time when your childcan find their new locker and

practice at school.

THE NIGHT BEFORE

The summer has endedand its back to hitting thebooks and making the

grades. Do some prep workthe night before and morningof the first day of school will

run smoothly.Load up backpacks with

the necessary school sup-

plies. Label your childs sup-plies with their name if nec-essary.

Help your child lay outtheir first day of school outfitin their room. Cut off tags

and remove stickers to avoidmaking a fashion faux pasduring the morning rush.

Remember undergarments,

socks and shoes.If your child will be brown

bagging it on the first day,

make lunch the night before.This is a habit that can alsobe continued throughout the

year to relieve morning stressand ensure a healthy lunch.

Finally, make sure the

alarms are set and get goodnight sleep.

Summer continues to be a

fabulous time for revitalizingreading with wonderful ener-gizing games, enticing theme-

packed activities and bondingas parent and child explore theworld of print together.

Delving into some projects,

which incorporate reading isnot only inspiring but helpful

in promoting effective readers. With the childs undividedattention, opportunities for

success are heightened.Parents are instrumental in

modeling good reading skills

and expanding a childs inter-est in learning.

COLLECT MATERIALS

Visit the library for goodbooks, which grab your childs

attention. Ask for the award- winning Caldecott and New-berry book lists; discover what

heightens your childs interest.Roam the aisles in book-

stores and investigate maga-

zines like Ladybug for theyounger set and Highlights,Cricket and National Geo-

graphic Kids for 7-10- year-olds; browse the shelves forlearning games that vitalize

important reading concepts.

GAMES

A favorite pastime for mostchildren is choosing and play-ing games. Family Game

Nights are very popular. Boardgames, in particular, developvocabulary and other skills.

Additionally, the child learns tofollow rules, take turns andlearn to be a good sport.

The computer offers a goldmine of games and provides afabulous resource for alphabet

recognition, vocabulary devel-opment, comprehension,phonics skills, problem solving

and poetry.Look at different school Web

sites; examine sites teachers

have originated, appropriatelydeveloped for your childs abil-ity and interest levels. See

AgameAday.com and Puzzle-maker.com. Have your childdevelop a game, initiating the

rules and teaching someoneelse to play.

BRAIN STIMULATION

A child becomes an adeptreader by reading, reading andreading. Brainteasers develop

vocabulary and refine spellingskills. Crossword puzzles, word search, hidden words,

word mazes, word hunts,

unscrambling words and rebuswriting are memory boosters.

Good selections are availableat most bookstores or schoolsupply stores

For vocabulary, try a Web siteon word for the day then printthe word and discuss the word

at the dinner table and again atbreakfast time. Use the diction-ary for word hunts, play word

Bingo and make up sentences,adding another word each dayfrom your childs word collec-

tion.For a reading and writing

activity, cut up comic strips.

Have the child put the strips inorder and rewrite the comic by

using his own words. Useblank comic strips as well soyour child can create his own

cartoon.

KEEP PHONICS ALIVE

Have your child be the

author and illustrator of booksfeaturing diagraphs (i.e., voice-less st, sh, ch, th, etc.), blends

(i.,e., voiced fl, bl, gr, sm, etc.)and rhyming words (i.e., plainand brain) and compound

words (i.e., understand, intoand something). Make up sillysentences and funny poems.

Celebrate each success with anAuthors Night. Peruse the Webfor excellent samples of poetry,

such as Haiku and limericks.

18/28

Lets face it, the extra pounds

were carrying around are dueto overeating - plain and sim-ple. Why do we overeat? Here

are a few likely reasons:

HABIT

Whether you realize it or not,

you eat in a learned pattern,rather than out of need. You

clean your plate because thatswhat your mother taught. Youeat what is served without

stopping if you are full. Youbutter two pieces of toast forbreakfast even if one piece

would do the job.

ABSENTMINDEDNESSYou forget to pay attention

when you eat.Mindless munching while

watching a movie, snacking

while driving, or picking atfood while cooking - theseabsentminded calories really

add up.

SOMETHING DEEPER

Sometimes you use food forrecreation or to change yourmood. These calories may lend

you a temporary sense of com-fort or pleasure, but ultimately your body suffers from the

indulgence.

Read these three steps andapply them to your life:

STEP 1: PAY ATTENTION

Be aware of what and how

much you eat. This simple con-cept will save you from hun-dreds upon hundreds of calo-

ries each week.Dont eat while your atten-

tion is distracted. Only put

food in your mouth when youare hungry and conscious of it.This means turn off the TV, get

out of your car, and no matterwhat you do, dont graze in thekitchen while cooking.

STEP 2: PRACTICE

BALANCE

Be aware of the types of foodthat you eat during each meal,and make sure that its bal-

anced. When you eat a bal-

anced diet filled with lean pro-

tein, whole grains, lots of veg-gies, a few daily servings offruit and limited fat and

sweets, your body will be satis-fied and youll lose the urge toovereat.

This means you shouldnt

always eat carb-based meals orhigh-fat meals. Make a mental

checklist of the food groupsthat youve eaten each day. Didyou eat lean protein? Did you

have plenty of vegetables? Didyou refrain from eating morethan one or two primarily

carb-based meals? This mentalchecklist will save you frommaking food decisions that

youd later regret.

STEP 3: BE TUNED IN

Your body will always tellyou when its hunger has beensatisfied - youve just gotten so

good at ignoring the signs thatyou barrel through your mealonly to feel like youve been hit

by a ton of bricks once all thatfood hits your stomach. Itstime to take a deep breath and

listen to your body.

An important part

tuned in is to eat slowyou start to pay attentinotice a point when e

becomes less and lessing. That is your bodyletting you know tha

had enough and that e

tinued bite is simply oYou know that por

now larger than everreally need to eat alfood? Of course we do

By learning how toyour eating habits, yoweight loss to come sim

naturally.

Have you packed enoughfun and adventure in to yoursummer?

There are just a few weeksleft before the kids head off toschool. But theres still time to

experience some great get-aways that are not too faraway. And the best part is they

wont break the family budget.Fun, adventurous, and (dont

tell the kids), educational out-

ings are available across ourgreat state many within atwo- hour drive.

So grab the sunscreen, packthe cooler and get ready forfamily fun time.

Mission San FranciscoSolano de Sonoma is an inter-esting and educational place to

visit, and its just 90 miles fromyour front door.

The mission, the only one

built under Mexican rule, isCalifornias northernmost and

last-established mission.Built in 1824, and the oldest

building in Sonoma, this struc-

ture is just one of a handful ofhistorical sites located within

Sonoma State Historic Park and the price of admission, $2,will allow visitors to enter all ofthem.

About 1,700 school kids passthrough the historic park eachmonth, as well as 4,000 visitors.

A lot of students come inwhen schools in session, and alot of parents bring their kids,

said Barbara Stephen, park vol-unteer. Kids really like the giftshop.

Stephen thinks the missionis a special place.

California started right

here, she said.In 1832, nearly 1,000 NativeAmericans were in residence,

working about 10,000 acres ofland for crops and livestock.

Next to the mission is Sono-ma Barracks, which housedMexican Army troops after

General Vallejo moved his gar-rison from San Francisco to

Sonoma.Probably the most eye-

catching of the buildings, is

Vallejos home itself, which is within walking distance(almost a mile) from the mis-

sion itself.The Gothic-style Victorian

has been preserved, showcas-ing several period furnishings.For the nature enthusiast, the

water reservoir behind thehome is filled with paddlingturtles.

And when young minds, andold, have finished soaking up

California history, the historicSonoma Plaza, right outsidethe front door of the mission, is

a perfect picnic place to spendan afternoon.

dessert spot.Grilled-to-order hamburg-

ers, and slices of chocolate-

mousse cake on the outdoor

patio top off a perfect visit toSonoma.

If youre looking for adven-ture, Moaning Cavern, Califor-nias largest cave chamber, is

the place for you. Located inGold Country, the cavern isjust one of several caves where

spelunking adventures areoffered.

The standard cave tour lasts

45 minutes, and explains thehistory and geology of thecave, including stalactites, sta-

lagmites, flows and other stoneformations.

Be prepared to descend into

cool and humid conditions, asmore than 200 stairs take visi-

tors 165 feet beneath theearths surface.

Real adventurers may

choose to rappel into the caveon ropes, zigging betweenclosely-spaced rock forma-

tions, before entering the huge,

open chasm below. Kids mustbe 12 and older to rappel.

Possibly the most exciting

adventure at Moaning Cavernis the new 1,500-foot zip line, which reaches speeds of 40

mph.Twin lines allow you to zip

individually, or race a friend. Aword of advice, the right lineseems to go a little faster thanthe left.

Extreme cavers can take athree-hour spelunking adven-ture, and there is also a climb-

ing wall, gemstone-miningactivity, gold panning andmore.

I highly recommend every-thing that we do, said Duane

Harnes, Zip Line manager. Wehave something for just aboutevery budget.

Harnes explained that evenscared-of-heights visitors whomay be intimidated by the Zip

Line, go home happy.The most common thing I

hear from kids who were

scared is, can I do that again?he said. Moaning Cavern isjust one of five locations where

Fireworks displays are theperfect reminder of love for ourcountry.

But Amanda Coyle doesntneed a red, white and bluereminder she honors, serves,

and yes, loves her countryevery day.

Coyle, a 2005 Granite Bay

High School graduate, is part ofthe United States Armys ROTCprogram. ROTC, or Reserve

Officers Training Corps, isconsidered by many as one ofthe best leadership courses in

the country, and is part of hercollege curriculum.

Coyle, who will graduate

from UCLA this month with aclassical history degree, alwaysknew she wanted to be in the

army, but didnt really know thebest path to get there.

I wanted to go to West Point

since I was in fifth grade, shesaid.

Originally interested in med-icine, her passion turned to lawenforcement. It wasnt until

her school counselor told herabout the ROTC program, and

the opportunity to receive a fullscholarship to UCLA, that shedecided to earn her place inthe armed services as an offi-

cer, a second lieutenant to beexact.

My four years at UCLA have

been paid for my books andmy insurance too, she said.

She describes the program

as comparable to being a full-time athlete. Coyle has physi-cal training each morning, in

addition to field training, where she learns tactics andsurvival.

She attributes the rigorousactivity to keeping her in excel-lent physical condition and

keeping her grounded. And yes, for those who are

wondering, ROTC is very muchlike full-time boot camp, inCoyles opinion.

The more I found out aboutROTC, the more it sounded like

boot camp, she said. My

mom said if you think bootcamp sounds like fun, then thisis the place for you.

Coyle isnt alone. Accordingto ROTCs Web site, more than20,000 cadets are enrolled in

the program at any given time.The program has graduatednotables like Colin Powell, for-

mer Secretary of State, andChairman of the Joint Chiefs ofStaff, and Sam Walton, founder

of Walmart.Though Coyle is one of

approximately 4,000 females in

the program, she has made aname for herself as the captainof her schools Ranger Chal-

lenge Team, which shedescribes as ROTCs version ofa sports team where they com-

pete with other schools in

activities like making ropebridges, physical training tests,grenade throwing (an activitythat she admits is nerve wrack-

ing), and more.In addition, Coyle was the

only female to be invited to

participate in both summerand winter Mountain Warfareschools sessions in which

students engage in rock climb-ing, first aid, ice climbing, and winter survival; skills which

Coyle said are very applicableto the war going on inAfghanistan.

I was there with Special

Forces guys and Rangers. shesaid. Some people have actu-

ally gotten hypothermia inAfghanistan, so this is relevanttraining.

In addition to many ROTCaccomplishments, Coyle wasselected as this years recipient

of the Selfless Service Award,an award, which is given to aUCLA ROTC student each year,

and is named for Mark Daily, aprogram graduate who was

killed in Iraq a few years ago.Mark was an amazing per-

son an honors graduate,

Coyle said. He was in the mid-dle of a convoy and left hissecure vehicle, to ride in an

unsecured one. His last actwas saving people.

Humbled, Coyle is honored

to receive the award, and saidshe feels it is her responsibilityto live up to Dailys legacy, and

to continue in the high stan-

dards that he set.Mark Daily was seen as a

hero in every sense of the

word, said John Segale, aGranite Bay resident, andfriend of the Coyle family. He

put his lifes dreams on hold toserve his country and the Self-less Service Award was estab-

lished as a legacy award tohonor his memory and recog-nize outstanding young cadets

who exemplify his honor, com-mitment, and selfless actions.

This fall, Coyle will leave herSouthern California home offour years, and head to Okla-

homa, Missouri, and Washing-ton state for additional train-ing, where she will attend

SWAT school, rifle marksman-ship and hand-to-hand com-bat training.

When her training is com-plete, she will be a member ofthe military police a position,

which she says will allow her toget the most action in over-seas deployment.

Though worried, her mother,Robin Coyle, couldnt be moreproud.

Any parent would be wor-ried, of course, but Amandassense of duty to her country is

so strong all I can do is sup-port her, she said.

Im hoping for a deploy-

ment, Amanda Coyle said.

Ive now been doing this forfour years you can only pre-pare for so long. Ive seensome of my friends deploy two

times already. Mentally Imready.

Robin Coyle sums it up,

neatly. I just have to say tomyself, Thank God there arepeople like her.

Its back to school time, so letthe fiesta begin.

Sombrero Time, a Spanishimmersion program in GraniteBay, is so fun for kids, accord-

ing to owners Ruth and David

Finsthwait, every day is a cele-bration.

But learning Spanish isnt allfun and games. Its work too.Students learn to understand,

speak, read and write Spanish all with the goal of creating flu-ent Spanish- speaking kids,

who will become global citi-zens.

Ruth and David Finsthwait

started the program in theirown driveway two years ago, toanswer a need that they said

couldnt be met in the commu-nity.

I was looking for a language

program for my own kids,Ruth Finsthwait said, But Ididnt find a program that I

thought was immersive that would create functional lan-

guage speakers.Ruth has a bilingual teaching

credential and a mastersdegree in special education.She credits the STAR programfor offering language instruc-

tion at area schools, but saidthe frequency of classes, andthe fact that instruction isnt

immersive, meaning instruc-tors use English, rather thanSpanish, prohibits kids from

becoming fluent.I thought having Sombrero

Time would be fun for my kids

to learn with friends, Ruthsaid. I just put a big sign outand got eight to 10 neighbor-

hood kids to come in the sum-mer, three days a week.

When a neighbor asked Ruth

to continue language instruc-tion during the school year, abusiness was born.

Were growing and werereally excited to be opening in

the Treelake Village Center,right next to Robeks, Ruth

said.Today, Ruth writes her own

curriculum and oversees three

teachers, who are all nativeSpanish speakers.

David Finsthwait is

immersed in developing thetechnology side of the busi-

ness, as well.Theres not a lot of technol-

ogy available to help kids learn

language, he said. Were working on developing anapplication for the iPod touch

and iPhone.The couple said the

second- and third-grdents, but classes areall elementary student

are taught Tuesday. Friday.

In addition, Mommy

classes and kindergartes will be available so

possible junior high aschool tutoring anclasses in the future as

The Finsthwaits saare pleased with sprogress.

In two years time, wwriting sample from Kids were writing 24 to

tences in Spanish andactually thinking in SRuth Finsthwait said.

Parents might ask possible to learn fromimmersion, rather tha
