I know its only March and the calendar saysits officially winter until the 20th, but Imgetting anxious for spring.Ive already noticed many of the flowering

pear and cheery trees aroundtown have begun to sprout tinywhite and pink flowers andsome of the bulbs planted lastfall or in years past have start-ed to poke through the ground.

Spring is a beautiful time of year in Granite Bay, the daysare getting longer and warmer (for the most part) and many

people seem to be coming outof their winter hibernation.

I enjoy being able to come home from work when its still light outside. In fact, in just afew short days, March 8 to be exact, we will

be turning our clocks ahead by one hour toensure even more daylight hours. How nice itwill soon be to take in a quick walk or jog,

work in the garden or even go on a short bikeride after work before darkness falls.For residents like Patrice Palomar and Liz

Guyer an extra hour of daylight means beingable to ride their horses more. Both Palomar and Guyer are local equestrians who enjoyspending time training and competing withtheir favorite equine. Their story appears on

W hen Granite Bay res-ident Julie Menardevaluated her lifefollowing a divorce, she decid-ed to make some changes.

She enlisted the help of Granite Bay life coach HollyHills.

Following my divorce, Iwas kind of lost. I foundmyself unmarried, with kidsaway at college and needed totake stock, Menard said.Holly provided me with a

practical method to think through what my goals were.When I followed Hollys

process, I was surprised athow clear my thoughts were.

For Menard, one of thosegoals led her to recently make

a move out of state that shed been hesitant to initiate beforeworking with Hills. She nowhas a life plan and is focusingon her personal goals.

A life coach assists peoplein achieving their goals. They

begin by helping people define

what those goal are, then helpthem achieve them.

Hills is a certified lifecoach who has been practicingin Granite Bay for three years.

The beginning of a newyear is a terrific time to takestock of life and makechanges. Coaching keeps youmotivated and accountable toachieve the goals you def ine,Hills said. My coaching helps

people define their goals, cre-ate a plan of action whilekeeping them accountableuntil they achieve their goals.

Hills said life coaching is particularly relevant to peoplewho are in transition. A lifecoach can assist with changingcareers, achieving personalgoals like going back to

school or following a longheld dream, or moving for-ward with a relationship. Thekey is working through the

problem with a process that pinpoints specific goals for asolution. Once those goals aredefined, Hills said there is a

step-by-step plan to ensure her clients see the processthrough.

Hills coaches clients over the phone, or in her GraniteBay office, with sessions

scheduled to meet the clientsspecific needs.

Some clients want a drillsergeant. They want me to stayright on top of them to be surethey are moving forward.

Others want me to chless frequently, mostlitive support and encment, she said.

In addition to her client work, Hills hasnered with Roseville Elaine Levatino to ascouples working throdivorce process calledrative mediation. Hillany divorce, there is ational element that cathe forward movemenlegal steps required. Afied life coach works

E veryone knows that a dog is amans best friend. But there areat least two Granite Bay womenwho would disagree. In their eyes,mans best friend is a horse, of course.

For horse lover and Granite Bay res-ident Patrice Palmaer, it hasnt always

been that way.I was a triathlete, but then I got

hurt, she said. I saw a lady on ahorse, and told her hewas beautiful shesold him to me for adollar.

Fast forward morethan a decade, and

Palmaers horses are like family.William Corrie, and Cinnamon qui-

etly wander the familys pasture, lushin winter-grass green. But Palmaers

biggest soft spot is for her beautiful brown thoroughbred, Ace.

The 18-year-old horse recentlyretired from dressage and eventingwith his previous owner. Palmaer pur-chased the horse in 2004 for her hus-

band, with the hope that the familycould enjoy trail riding together.

But for a true competitor, simpletrail rides just werent enough. Theretired horse wanted to work.

A trainer suggested Palmaer giveAce a try in competition, an activitythe woman gave up when she marriedand started a family.

Once Palmaer started working withAce, the duo couldnt be stopped.

A huge grin split her face, as she proudly displayed the bronze medalshe and Ace earned from the UnitedStates Dressage Foundation.

Ace still needed a job, which iswhy I started to compete with him,she said. If I just stopped and put himin a pasture, hed just break down.

Dressage is described by Wikipediaas horse ballet. While sitting atop ahorse, decked out in fine clothing maylook easy, the reality is that dressageinvolves an intense connection betweenrider and horse.

The sports goal is to show a horsesnatural athletic ability and is oftenassociated with the world-famousLipizzaner breed.

Rider and horse become one, withthe rider influencing the animalsmovements with the slightest variationof hip, leg or core muscles. Canter,

trot, turn, pirouette, even the horsesattention and confidence are judged.

Its truly a relationship between meand Ace, Palmaer said. The horse is

being judged on each movement, mymovements, and his expression andwillingness.

And the fact that Ace is willing towork hard, and strive for success,amazes his owner every day.

This is a very unusual animal,Palmaer said. The thing about him his body type pre-disposes him not to

be an athlete.She attributes his award-winning

performance to the fact that he has somuch heart. Aces physique includes

bad feet, a quirky gate and a bit of aswayed back all of which he over-comes magnificently, when it counts.All Palmaer has to do is ask.

People can go through 10 find a horse they can go to comwith, Palmaer said. Ive hadwith no heart they do some ltraining and then say no thank

Palmaers husband, Eric, agHes a great horse hes got aderful personality. He tries refor Patrice.

Palmaer spends 12 to 14 howeekly with Ace at his winter the Horse E. Hilton in Loomis

I try to work it around whguys (husband Eric, and pre-teKovey) are doing basketball,

Her dedication is obvious, gently stretches Aces legs, andhis tail to stretch his back.

Its like yoga for horses, s

And Ace is like Palmaers yoga too.He keeps me sane, she said, as she

readies herself for an international competition later this month.

While the elegance and stateliness of dressage is impressive, Granite BayHigh School senior Liz Guyer, prefersthe adrenaline-inducing sport of jump-ing.

I specialize in equitation how theriders look and the fundamentals of rid-ing, she said.

And showing off her horse, Mario, ashe gallops and jumps fences, is her favorite pasttime.

Guyer spends about 15 hours a week with Mario.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are lessondays at Vanvleck Ranch, located at theRancho Murieta Equine Complex.

Shod in muddy books and fleece pullover, Guyer makes the 40-minute

trek from Granite Bay High to the stableand savors every moment.

I was 8 years old when I started toride, she said. My sister, Lauren, whois 21, wanted to ride. My mom justwanted us to be ballerinas.

Once Guyers sister got a horse, rid-ing became a family affair.

My dads gotten into it too, shesaid. As has her mom. We like doingthe activity as a family.

Guyer received Mario as a gift, andhas been competing for the last sixyears.

Saturday is the day to which the rider and horse both await.

We get to warm up our horses our-selves, and spend an hour jumping

bigger and bigger fences, she said.Guyer loves the camaraderie of the

sport.There are so many girls from all

over the state. We compete against eachother, but its more like we just want toget in a really good ride, she said. Weall love to get together. Its really a per-

sonal-best sport and its totally satisfyingto know you and your horse have givenyour best.

Of course, Mario is easy to love aswell. Guyer reported he can be sassy areal handful.

Extremely large, the coppery-brownBelgian Warmblood stands 18 hands andcan intimidate a novice.

But Guyer takes matters in to her ownhands.

Hes such a little boy I treat himlike hes a little kid, she said. Im anoverbearing mother Im not gonna lie.

Guyer explained theres a mutual trust between rider and horse.

I have an animal with a brain,weighing roughly 1,500 pounds and hehas to trust me because Im telling himto jump over things that are high and Ihave to trust him as well.

Knowing the horses mood is key.Being close to your horse is a really

important part of riding. He has toinstantly know what I want him to do,she said. I have to feel when hes tensed

up or collected, or whatever. I nknow what hes going to do befdoes it.

But Mario isnt the only horsGuyers life. She has been volunfor the past six years at Saddle Ptherapeutic horseback-riding orgtion for physically and mentallylenged students.

Guyer seemed to be a perfecthe organization, as they hired hemployee in August.

I get to watch them (kids) bcient little riders kids who som

ple thought would never ride, sGuyer is excited about the w

is doing with Saddle Pals, but isto the future to receiving colleacceptance letters in the coming

Her sister is on the riding teaSweet Briar College in Virginia Guyer is applying to schools wi

petitive equine teams as well.Ive been sending applicatio

letters to coaches its been a bhoopla, she said.

T he advantages of dentalhealth are many. Whatcould be better than a beautiful smile, improved self confidence and not to men-tion, fewer dental proceduresas we grow older.

At Advantage Dental Carein Granite Bay, Doctors Nader Zanzi and Raj Zanzi are just

a few of the localdoctorswho offer

patientsthe advan-

tage of the latest in dentaltechnology.

Digital imaging, whichmeans lower radiation levelsthan traditional x-rays, andelectric drills, which meanless noise and vibration than

previous models, are advan-tages that help patients feelmore relaxed.

But the real advantage, asfar as Nader is concerned, isthe off ices flexible schedule.We want the advantage to befor the patients, he explained.We try to do whatever we canto accommodate them, andgive them the best care. Some

people have very restrictivehours in their jobs. Theyrestressed out, and have a lot of nervousness. Id rather have a

patient come in when theywant to, so they can be asrelaxed as poss ible.

Of course, the massagechairs and video screens that

play patients favorite moviesdont hurt either.

Patient comfort is at the top

of the list for the doctors.Everybody has a level of

fear, Nader said. Many people had a bad experience 30 or 40 years ago. But those expe-riences just arent the caseanymore. We have relaxation(medication) and sedation

available, but most peopledont need it. Nader said that most peo-

ple feel relaxed after meetingoffice staff.

We build their trust,address their anxiety andapproach it slowly, he said.

Its a policy that is especial-ly helpful with young childrenand teens.

The doctorspractice has been open a little over a year,and Dr. Raj Zanzi, Dr. Naders

older brother, also has a prac-tice in Lincoln.

Both doctors graduatedfrom Tufts University Schoolof Dental Medicine in Boston,and Nader said he reallyenjoys working with his broth-er.

Hes been a great mentor.Having him here is a great benefit. I bounce ideas off him, and patients can receivea second opinion, he said.Hes the only one I trust withmy teeth.

The doctors opened their Granite Bay office becausethey said they love the com-munity.

There are lots of youngfamilies and were familyoriented, Nader said.

Were both young doctorswith young families, Raj andme, so its just a good fit. Ilove working with the younger

patients. We like to break pro-cedures down in to smallincrements, and give kids pos-itive experiences.

Office manager KarlaKnight said the doctors see

plenty of youngsters.Families want to come

here because its so close tothe school (a pre-school and a

junior-high school), and anorthodontist is right here inthe same complex, she said.

The doctors, always inter-ested in treating children, arestill learning about the com-munity the school communi-ty in particular, and haverecently pledged support tothe Eureka SchoolsFoundation.

Nader said he has seen plenty of young ones for rou-tine checkups, but is alarmedat how many kids come inwith bigger issues.

Ive only been here for over a year, but in that shorttime, Ive seen a lot of injuries. Athletics, biking were encouraging parents toobtain sports guards or mouth

pieces for their childrtheyre involved in phactivities, Nader saisimple and its easy.Especially with footbother contact sports, should be fitted, not off the shelf, accordin

Nadar.The doctor explain

creating a fitted mouis inexpensive, and pshould ask their childabout it.

M onkey Farts smells like bananas and bub- blegum.The scent of Butt Naked con-

jures up images of frolicking onthe beach in your birthday suit.

If neither of those soundsappealing to you, Sara Kessler and Carley Weldon have morethan 120 other scents to choosefrom.

Sniff This Candle Co. got itsstart in Granite Bay last summer after Kessler and Weldon met attheir 9 to 5 construction job.

Girls in construction have tostick together, so we naturallycame together, Weldon said.Then we discovered we hadsimilar interests. She told meabout her candles and thatswhen I came on.

Kessler had started a candle business out of her home beforemoving to California fromMontana in 2008. Making can-dles was a way for Kessler to

bring in an income while beingable to be home for her twoyoung daughters.

Its something we can dotogether, Kessler said. Theystir and help add fragrance and

color.Weldon and Kessler decidedto go into business together lastsummer under the name Sniff This. They added multiple can-dle sizes, new fragrances, reeddiffusers and homemade sugar

body scrubs to their candlemenu.

Sniff This candles are avail-able in two different waxes. Thefirst, a soy paraffin blend, is aclean burning wax that capturesand releases fragrance evenly.Palm wax is an all-natural waxthat crystallizes as it dries givingthe candle a pretty shimmer.Also called glass glow, palm waxcandles burn down through thecenter of the jar so the candleglows from within.

Both types hold scent reallywell and will release a consistentscent from the first light to the

last little bit of wick, Weldonsaid.A zinc wick means Sniff This

candles put off less smoke thanordinary cotton wicks that arefound in most mass-producedcandles. In addition, the Sniff This candles do not require trim-ming. Candles with a zinc wick

burn cleaner and dont producethe black soot that can be foundaround the jars of candles withcotton wicks. Kessler also saidthey chose zinc wicks becausethey burn slower than their cot-ton counterparts meaning cus-tomers can enjoy their favoritefragrances longer.

According to Kessler, the twowomen spent countless hourstesting scent lines to find themost true-to-form and bestsmelling fragrances to bring totheir line of candles and bodyscrubs.

We only put out what wewould bring into our own homesor give to loved ones, Weldonsaid.

Kessler stresses that althoughtheir products are homemadethey are of the same caliber of those you would find in retailhome stores. And because their

products are homemade, theyhave complete quality control toensure that each batch is consis-tent from scent, to color to sizeand quantity.

That was my biggest thing, Inever wanted them to look homemade like you would see ata flea market, Kessler said. Wehave the ability to make a reallynice, quality product and I think it shows.

Not only can the two makethe repertoire that is featured ontheir pamphlets, they go aboveand beyond the call of duty andcan customize orders for cus-tomers.

Theres one woman who hasreally tall cathedral ceilings inher house and she told us thatthe scent would go straight to the

ceiling and not fill up the room,Kessler said. So we make spe-cial extra strong batches of her

favorite fragrance just for her sothat they will fill up the wholehouse.

Want the pine-scentthat normally comes ingreen shade, but hate gKessler and Weldon wispecial batch in anotheyour choosing.

The two have even scavenger hunts for cusrequested scents like geleather and those mode

brand name perfumes acolognes.

Almost all of our savailable in the reed difwhich are good for peowant constant scent, Wsaid. The body scrubsable in most scents too.working on making ou

body line bigger.The pair is currently

on adding lotion, showsoaps to their current lisugar scrubs and bath s

Its exciting to creathing and see it come toWeldon said. And its our business grow like

been.

E ven though NorthernCalifornia has beensoaked with a few recentrain storms, continued worriesabout the lack of rain Californiahas experienced the last severalyears has officials at San JuanWater District taking action.

To ensure its 265,000 residen-tial and commercial customers ineastern Sacramento and southernPlacer counties continue to enjoyan adequate water supply, SanJuan officials recently posted aStage 3 Water Alert asking cus-tomers to decrease their water consumption 11-25 percent. Thealert emphasizes efficient,reduced consumption of water.

Specifically, the alert askscustomers to monitor water usage to ensure it is for benefi-cial purposes only. Officials areasking for residents to eliminatethe practice of running throughsprinklers on a hot day, anywashing off driveways with ahose or other frivolous use of water.

Landscape irrigationaccounts for a 50 percentincrease in water use in the sum-mer, stated SJWD Customer Service Manager Judy Gagnier.

Gagnier said, this year lawnsshould be allowed to show somesigns of stress. Sprinkler systemsshould be set at a rate of 11-25

percent less than in prior years.Also, systems must be checkedto ensure water is not beingwasted in run off into drains.

Rebates are offered for cus-tomers who seek efficient irriga-tion systems, including up to$500 for installation of certainsystems.

Although customersresponded to this call for effi-ciency last summer (at Stage 2),overall reductions amounted toonly 2 percent, Gagnier said.To get through this third con-secutive drought year, we mustdo more. Folsom Lake was atonly 25 percent of capacity in

November and even a rainy sea-son in the normal range this year will not make up for the past twodry years.

There are resources availablefrom San Juan Water District toassist consumers in reducingoverall water usage. SJWD pro-vides free comprehensive land-

scape evaluations, including plant assessments, irrigation rec-ommendations, rebates for installation of reduction devices,and free home assessments for indoor water reductions.

Master Gardeners are on handto educate customers through theWater Efficient LandscapeGarden located behind the dis-trict office. Irrigation classes areheld every other month to assist

people in maximizing efficiencyin their landscaping. Classes arefree to attend and are located atthe district office located at 9935Auburn-Folsom Road in GraniteBay.

For more information aboutthese free resources, includingreserving space in a water effi-ciency class, contact San JuanWater District at 791-2663. TheSJWD Web site offers additionalinformation and current classofferings at www.sjwd.org.

In addition to maximizingefficiency in your irrigation andhome water use, there are other ways to save energy, resourcesand money at home. Some very

simple changes can make a largeimpact in the environment, andyour wallet.

Switch to compact fluores-cent bulbs. CFLs use only 10

percent of the energy of a nor-mal light bulb and last 8-12times longer, according toEcoMall.com. If everyAmerican household replacedone of its standard light bulbswith an energy efficient compactfluorescent bulb, it would savethe same amount of energy as alarge nuclear power plant pro-duces in one year. In a typicalhome, one compact fluorescent

bulb can save 260 pounds of car- bon dioxide per year.

Recycle, and seek productswith reduced and recycledpackaging. According to envi-ronment-green.com, the UnitedStates recycles just about 28 per-cent of its waste today, which isdoubled from what it was adecade ago. Each small stepadds up. For example, theHershey Chocolate Company

produces approximately 20 mil-lion chocolate kisses each day,

using 133 square miles of alu-minum to wrap them. The wrap-

pers are recyclable, yet usuallyend up in the trash bin, rather than the recycling bin. If we

change our thinking ansider old habits, we canhuge difference.

In one of my recent columns, I took you to theshores of Clear Lake to visit a boutique familywinery. Today we will go to the top of thenorthern ridge above the townof Clear Lake Oaks to aunique area called High ValleyAppellation and the home of the Brassfield Estate Winery.

What makes High Valley

unique? The valley wasformed many years ago by thevolcanic eruptions of RoundMountain and Mt. Konoctiand is one of only a few valleys in California thatrun east to west rather than north to south. Namedan American Viticulture Area in 2005, the valley

boasts a distinct topography, diverse mix of vol-canic and alluvial soil, and a climate that can havea 40- to 50-degree swing during the growing sea-son. Located approximately 1,800 feet above sealevel, the valley is situated so that the cool windscoming off Clear Lake allow the perfect tempera-tures for growing all varieties of grapes.

Brassfield Estates encompasses 2,500 acres of the valley of which 360 acres are producing someexcellent wine grapes. Founded in 2002 by owner Jerry Brassfield, Brassfield Estates boasts the pro-duction of 50,000 cases per year from 19 differentvarietals. Each and every varietal is estate grownand also estate bottled meaning all of the grapesare grown, crushed, barreled, aged and bottled onthe property. This is a very rare practice in thewinemaking business. Winemaker and partner Kevin Robinson is the former winemaker for Rutherford Hill Winery and joined the Brassfield

family operation in 2001. His experience oyears in the winemaking business has allowBrassfield label to gain much notoriety in

period of time. Winnmore than 350 awarBrassfield sells moswines to restaurantsthe country.

It will house appmately 2,500 barrels of wine that will be aage at a consistent temperature of 60 degre85 percent humidity. By maintaining the cotemperature, the winemaker is able to reduoration during the aging process, which alla smoother, more intense flavored wine.
