GRANITE BAY VIEW AUGUST 3

Usually, right after Me-morial Day weekendor by mid-June, at

the latest, I begin to feelthe first pangs of resent-ment toward youth of allages.

I see them around myneighborhood all deckedout in shorts and flip-flops, going to get yogurtor headed to a friendshouse to go swimming orlaze around all day with-out a care in the world.

And I dont like it!

I remember this sweetfeeling of freedom and I

yearn for those early daysof summer when your

whole life was still ahead ofyou and the future seemedbright and easy and com-pletely within your con-trol. Then, we grow up,graduate high school andhopefully college and tryto launch a career.

My sullenness will lastuntil around mid-Aug-ust, when all those

youngsters reassembletheir backpacks, selecttheir first-day-of-schooloutfits and embark onanother academic year and innocently take

another step closer toadulthood and the even-tual end of summertimefreedom for good.

Then I suffer a wholeother bout of jealousythinking about the joys ofschool and spendingones days reading classicnovels, discussing impor-tant historical topics, hav-ing ones mind blown in

physics class and beingintroduced to ground-breaking social theories. Ialways loved school.

Here, in Granite Bay, weboast fabulous schoolsand top-notch academicprograms such as GBiT,the student-run technol-ogy program at GraniteBay High School thatsintroducing some excitingchanges this fall (see page30). We also have stellarteachers with a specialknack for inspiring their

young students, including

Radford Peterson, a sixth-grade teacher at Ridge-view Elementary School(see page 26).

So, kiddies, enjoy theyear ahead. Because onceadulthood hits, theres noturning back.

Granite Bay buddies formsuccessful partnership

BY KRISSI KHOKHOBASHVILIGRANITE BAY VIEW

All it takes is a few minutesinside the Farmers Insur-ance office in the Quarry

Ponds shopping center to dis-pel any notion that friendsshould not go into businesstogether.

Russell Postell and Brian Fish-er transition easily from bounc-ing good-natured gibes off eachother to getting down to busi-ness, discussing how importanttheir clients are to them andacknowledging that their job isnot an easy one: Its the insur-ance agent who steps in dur-

ing a familys time of crisis tomake sure everybody gets tak-en care of.

We market specifically totwo ZIP codes 95465 and95664, East Roseville, which isessentially Granite Bay, Postellexplained. The reason for thatis were not a mass-marketingcompany. We deal speciallywith individuals, and we wantto be able to talk to our cus-tomers.

And there are plenty of cus-tomers to talk to, as the busi-ness has grown exponentiallysince Postell opened the officein March 2011. Fisher joinedhim in 2012, and today thepartners say they are poised tosee more than $1 million inpremiums.

Our success is that most ofthe business that we have is ourpersonal network of friends

and family, and theyve beenwith us for a while, Fisher said.A lot of our success is that peo-ple listen to us and theyve tak-en our advice.

While starting a career ininsurance may not seem like alogical move for a former tele-vision news network executive,thats exactly what Postell did.His more than 30-year careerwas spent in sales for networksin metropolitan areas, eventu-

ally moving to the position ofgeneral sales manager at News10.

I came in as local sales man-ager, so I went from the fifth-largest market as a local sales

manager to the 19th market asa local sales manager, Postellrecalled. I went backward.Backward to move forward.

The reason for that backwardmove? As so many residentscan tell you Granite Bay lifewas calling.

Granite Bay BeckonsRussell and Ann Postell

would take family trips fromtheir Bay Area home to ski inTahoe, passing through theGold Country as they madetheir way to the mountains.

The two of us working in

San Francisco and having alive-in nanny, its just like, Youknow, this is not what wesigned up for, Postell said. Itdidnt seem to match. So wecame up here for a little bit of a

better lifestyle.A friend told Postell to look

for a home in Granite Bay andnowhere else, and he hasntlived in any other town sincemoving here in the early 1990s.Its where they have raised theirchildren Kendra, Erica andMatthew.

He chuckled as he recalledhow, when he and Ann were

looking at homes in GraniteBay, it was pouring down rainand they overlooked the factthat water was rushing throughthe garage, so enraptured werethey with envisioning their fu-

ture in the neighborhood.When I got here, one day I

was driving down the road itdawned on me there werehorses neighing in my back-yard, Postell remembered.

Those neighs were a far cryfrom the hustle and bustle of hisprevious homes in Manhattan,Greenwich, Conn., San Francis-co and Marin County.

And so the Postells put downroots in Granite Bay, includingRussell Postells move to helpfound the Granite Bay YouthLacrosse Program in 2004.Postell, an athlete since before

he can remember, shared howhis first injury came as a tod-dler, when he got a hernia frombouncing a basketball around.

He instilled in all of his chil-dren a love of athletics, and allthree played lacrosse like theirdad, who played top-level Divi-sion 1 schools while on theteam at Hobart College in NewYork.

I used to love running upand down the field, Postell re-called, chuckling as he added,You got to hit people with astick.

Lacrosse is a really fast

game, he added, and to behonest with you, youve got tobe an intelligent person to playlacrosse because it moves sofast, and I love to run and I love

the strategy of the game,and quite frankly, I lovethe physicality. Its like awar, and I always took itthat way. It was a battle. I

was a little nuttier thanmost people.Today, Postells son still

plays lacrosse with theGBYLP, which has grownfrom 40 to 200 male andfemale athletes. Postellhas coached his kids inseveral sports, startingwith coaching his daugh-ters in soccer.

Because of his dislike forfavoritism, he explained,

his kids had to work extra-hard for time on the field,which theyll all attest to.

One, Im super-de-manding, he said. I havea huge expectation, andtwo, I was so opposed tofavoritism that my kidsactually played less andhad to earn their times

more so than other kidson the team.

Moving ForwardWhile the Postells move

to Granite Bay came witha new home, great schoolsand the opportunity toraise their children in abeautiful community, itwas not without its hard-ships.

Postell was frank as heexplained that, in Septem-ber 2011, he was firedfrom News 10, where hehad been promoted topresident and general

manager.All presidents of com-

panies get fired, he saidmatter-of-factly. Its likebeing a general managerof a baseball team.

And so he went homeand spent some time inhis hammock in GraniteBay, reflecting on his op-

tions.I always wanted to

own my own businessanyway, and it was time,he remembered. Mykids were now in collegeand it was time for me tomove out of the corpo-rate world and become abusiness person on myown. I had two or threejob offers the next day,

and I turned them downto stay in Granite Bay.

Postell credits his wifewith supporting his deci-sion to start his own busi-ness. Ann, who he metwhen she sat beside himat a radio sales job inBoston, is now the generalsales manager at Fox 40.

She thought a momentwhen asked about her first

impression of Russell.I thought he looked

good in a suit and tie,she laughed.

When Russell left theworld of advertising, hesaid, his wife took on abigger job so he couldfulfill his dream of beinga business owner.

Simply put, Russellsaid: Shes a stud.

Ann Postell said sup-porting her husbandsdecision to shift directionwas an easy one to make.

Its very positive, shesaid. Theres a lot goingon in the advertising in-

dustry, so its kind of niceto have something else.And, he had to learn all thesystems he was the GMof News 10 and then hehad to kind of start at thebeginning and learn awhole new career.

Thriving PartnershipThe Fishers and Post-

ells have known eachother for about 20 years,

starting with a friendshipbetween Ann Postell andFishers wife, Debbie.

When Fisher joined theinsurance office in 2012,the longtime friends knewthey had all the ingredi-

ents for a great businesspartnership.

He though I was nuts,and I thought he wasnuts, Postell laughed.

I knew he was nuts,Fisher chimed in. I didntthink he was nuts. I knewhe was nuts.

Jokes aside, the part-nership truly does work.

They instantly under-stood the value the otherbrings to the business.Fisher, who was a stay-at-home dad in Granite Bay,saw that joining R. PostellInsurance would allowhim the flexibility he

needed with his family. Healso recognized that hisskills and abilities wouldbe a good fit with Postells.

Im still here, and Ihave all of my hair orsome of my hair, Fishersmiled. Weve beenthrough the career agentprogram, which is one ofthe toughest programsanybody could go throughin insurance, or just in

general. Weve survivedthat and we flourished.

Not even four monthshad passed before

Kari and Dale Lusbyrealized they could notjust wait patiently for acure let alone a treat-ment to be developedto help their 4-year-oldson, who was diagnosedwith polycystic kidney di-sease in March.

Kari Lusby, who travelsoften for her job, was in aLas Vegas hotel roomwhen she got the devas-

tating news.We got online and

Googled it, she said.And its not pretty.

The Roseville couplehad to take matters intotheir own hands.

Doctors said to worryabout kindergarten morethan the disease becausetheres nothing they cando at this point, Kari Lus-by said. I didnt like thatplan.

But what exactly theywould do was, at first,unclear: They had neverheard of the inherited life-threatening disease be-fore doctors identifiedmultiple fluid-filled cystson the kidney of their son,Honor, on an MRI. Thesecysts were responsible forthe boys constant back

pain and are a commonsymptom of the disease.Instead of dwelling on

the heartbreaking news,the parents launched intoproactive mode. They maynot be doctors or scien-tists, but they do considerthemselves capable ofnetworking and fundrais-ing, so they founded theCrusade for Cures Foun-dation to raise research

money for childhood dis-eases.

The foundation, led byExecutive Director Jen-nifer Woods and which iscurrently applying fornonprofit status, aims toraise $200,000 to fund a

medical research grantwith the PKD Foundation,a nonprofit organizationfounded in 1982. They

also hope to raise aware-ness about this condition.After learning the PKD

Foundation had donateda mere $2 million lastyear toward research, theLusbys decided to starttheir own organization.

Its more commonthan Down syndrome,cystic fibrosis, musculardystrophy, hemophiliaand sickle cell anemia

combined, and weve allheard of those diseases,but no one has everheard of PKD, Dale Lus-by said. Only the peoplewho talk about it arethose who have it.

More than 600,000Americans and 12.5 mil-lion newborns, childrenand adults worldwidebattle polycystic kidney

disease. The condition af-fects men, women andchildren equally regard-less of age, race, geogra-

phy or ethnic origin.If both parents havethe gene, then each childhas a 50 percent chanceof inheriting the disease.

People with the diseasedevelop cysts in their kid-neys, causing the organs

to grow. Abouthalf the

people with PKD will de-velop kidney failure by age50 and need dialysis or atransplant to live.

As for Honor, he suffersfrom back pain daily andhis parents are still strug-gling to find a way to dealwith his discomfort.

Cure for Crusades firstbig fundraisertook place atthe

Sacramento River Catsgame July 12. They sold 77tickets, raising more than$300. Honor threw the first

pitch. Once the game fin-ished, the Lusbys wereback brainstorming otherways to raise funds.

Otherwise, I think Idjust sit around and cry allday, Kari Lusby said. Andthat doesnt help anyone.

For more informationabout Crusade for Cures,visit www.crusadeforcures.org.

Fawning season means extremesleep deprivation for DianeNicholas, a Loomis woman

who runs a rescue for injured,orphaned and sick baby deer.

Nicholas wakes by 5 a.m. and

does the last feeding of the day at1:30 a.m. the next morning, andthen rests for two or three hours.She keeps this schedule from Aprilto November. She has to: KindredSpirits Fawn Rescue takes in a highvolume of deer as the only facilityof its type in Placer County. Thefacility also serves Nevada, Sacra-mento and Yolo counties.

This critical rescue work points tothe conflict that occurs as develop-ment encroaches on natural land-

scapes and wildlife habitat getsdisturbed in the process. Last year,Nicholas took in 110 fawns and shehas cared for about 60 baby deer sofar this season.

Its a numbers game, she said.Nicholas, who is trained and

permitted to run a fawn rescue onher five acres of land, does most ofthe work herself. Volunteers assistwith yard work and other tasks,but Nicholas typically preparesthe milk bottles, administers med-ication, moves the animals ar-ound the pens and drives out any-time day or night to pick up fawnsin need. If she doesnt stay on topof the workload, she plays catchup all day.

Plus, attempting to keep fawnsas wild as possible before their re-lease means limited human inter-action. Therefore, Nicholas is theirsole caregiver.

DianeNicholascares forfawns on herproperty inLoomis.Last year,she rescued110. Hernonprofit,KindredSpirits FawnRescue, is theonly fawnrescue inPlacerCounty.

from all over Northern

California. Eric Sauer, whoruns Country Gardensagricultural services, alsoplanted a vegetable gar-den in Nicholas frontyard with deer-friendlyand deer-repellant flora.

The couple got involvedafter Nicholas helped afawn living near theirproperty they had grownattached to that had beenattacked by a bear. Once

healthy, the baby deer wasreleased into the wild.

It was like losing ababy, Eric Sauer said. Butto know where (the fawn)was made it so muchmore peaceful and itsa healing process to seehow much (Nicholas)does for these fawns andfor them to be wild again.

Till the Day She DiesLast year, Nicholas as-sisted a fawn with a largeleg wound. After trappingthe animal in a yard, she

quickly administeredantibiotics, as the fawnscreamed the whole time.The deer survived.

This year, Nicholas got a

call about a mama deer hitby a car that left behindbabies. She crawled on herbelly through bushes toretrieve those fawn. Themom killed was the oneshe had saved the yearbefore.

It brought tears to myeyes, Nicholas said. Itreally does pay off. Even ifshe didnt make it, at leastshe produced offspring.

The 2,650-acre RobbersFire between Foresthilland Colfax in July 2012

produced sev-eral injured

fawns, includingone

so severely burned itshooves were almost com-pletely gone. Nicholas gotthe early morning callfrom a CHP officer, pickedup the baby and nursed itback to health all thatremains is the brand of aheart on its hip. She toldthe officer, who in tears,said he had a heart tattooon his shoulder.

It was pretty cool thatwe can share that, shesaid.

Nicholas plans to dothis work until the dayshe dies because of thejoy it brings. Just recently,she accepted a 3-poundfawn with two broken

legs. Now, he can putweight on those legs. Hisname is Splinter. Thentheres Header, a wobblylittle fawn who often faceplants into the ground.

Nicholas can tell all thefawns apart based ontheir different looks andpersonalities, and everytime she sends one intothe wild she takes pause:I cry every time theyre

released happy andsad tears.

dining view BY TOBY LEWISGRANITE BAY VIEW CORRESPONDENT

Five years ago or so, I proba-bly wouldnt have been ableto tell you the difference

between what I thought wasgood Thai food and bad.

For me, at that time, it all tast-ed the same. All I knew was thatI loved it. The spicy curry, theunique flavor of Thai basil, co-conut milk, peanuts it was allgood.

Over the years, as my palatefor Asian cuisine has became alittle more refined, I have beenable to taste and notice the littlenuances that separate goodThai food from bad.

For me, the difference simplyboils down to one thing: fresh-

ness.That being said, there is anot-so-new restaurant in Gran-ite Bay I have been hearingabout for several months nowand, as a fan of Thai food, Ifinally decided to check it out.

My Thai Table is tucked awayin a little corner at the swankyQuarry Ponds Town Center onDouglas Boulevard and hasbeen open for about a year.

Chef and owner Sonia Na-rasaki is cooking up regionalcuisine that represents her na-tive Petchaboon, a region ofcentral Thailand best knownfor its savory rather thansweet cuisine.

Just like how here in theUnited States, Louisiana cook-ing is different from Californiacooking, there are differentregions in Thailand, Narasakitold me on my recent visit.Our dishes compared to otherregions are not as sweet. Be-cause the part of the countrywhere Im from, theres a lot oftamarind there, so we tend tomake things a little more sour.

Most of what you see on themenu at My Thai Table can be

found at just about any otherThai restaurant. What sets thisrestaurant apart is the qualityand freshness of the ingredients.

Narasaki said she visits localfarmers markets each week tosource the ingredients for herrecipes, which were handeddown by her mother recipesshe has continued to pass ontoher own children.

Fresh spring rolls, Tom Kha

(coconutmilk)soup, basilstir fry(pad kraprow),red, yel-low andgreen cur-ry dishesare all familiaritems.

The menu also fea-tures other Thai favorites, suchas papaya salad ($7.95) and PadKee Mao ($11.95), otherwiseknown as drunken noodles.

This dish, which I will cri-tique in a moment, is servedwith wide rice noodles, groundchicken (larb), an array of veg-

etables and too many flavorsand spices to mention, and itwas one of my favorites.

I have to back up a momentand mention that one of myfavorite things to do when I dineout is try as many different itemsoff the menu as possible. When Iam experiencing a new restau-rant, I think this is the best wayto try many different flavors andreally get a grasp of the chefs

vision (and level of talent).The flavors of Thailand are

vast and abundant, and I veryoften get accused of orderingtoo much when I go out for Thaifood. I dont care. I want it all!

So, on my recent visit to MyThai Table, I opted to try a little

bit of everything.First were the fresh springrolls ($7.95). This dish camewith a well-balanced blend ofshrimp, lettuce, cilantro, ricenoodles, chives, bean sproutsand mint all tightly bound in arice wrap. The accompanyingpeanut dipping sauce created aperfect marriage.

Next, I had to try the Pad Thai($11.95). Now, another confes-

sion. My first real exposure toPad Thai was of the freeze-driedvariety when I was backpackingthrough Desolation Wildernessnear Lake Tahoe many yearsago. This is the Pad Thai ofwhich I have judged all others.Of course, Narasakis recipe forPad Thai is far superior.

The Pad Thai at My Thai Tablelacked a certain sweetness thatIve come to expect with thedish in a good way. It wasmuch more balanced thanmost, while still maintainingintegrity and that hint of sweet.

My server, Leeuu, adamantlysuggested I try the aforemen-tioned Pad Kee Mao (drunkennoodle), and I happily obliged.

While each subsequent dish

I tried pineapple fried rice($11.95), mango curry withchicken ($11.95) maintainedits own sense of identity from aflavor perspective, one thingremained constant: the obvi-ous love, creativity and passionthe chef put behind each dish.

There are three criteria I useto judge the quality of a goodrestaurant: service, freshness ofthe ingredients and ambience.

From my perspective, MyThai Table hits on all three. Theservice is fast, attentive andfriendly. It is not uncommon tosee Chef Sonia making roundsin the dining room greetingcustomers at every table, manyof whom she knows by name.

The ambience is comforting,open and modern. There areseveral wooden tables andchairs strewn about the diningroom, while one wall is linedwith oversized blue loungechairs.

Empty wine bottles line thewalls, along with Thai colloqui-alisms written in cursive. Thereis also a sizeable outdoor patio,looking out onto the floodedquarry.

Overall, the restaurant is rel-evant, comforting and contem-porary, and I look forward toreturning.

Nitta Ranch coaxes naturesbounty in sustainable way

BY EILEEN WILSON

GRANITE BAY VIEW CORRESPONDENT

If youve ever tasted a perfectly ripe,organically grown peach just offthe tree, then you know how

delightful that first bite not toocrisp, not too soft can be.

And if you had the good fortune tosink your teeth into locally grownfruit this summer, then you knowthat a cool growing season capped byan unusually hot week created aquickly ripened, lush golden globe

that is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.Im talking about a peach that is soyummy supermarket fruit will tastelike cardboard in comparison. Thatsbecause the peaches you see at thesupermarket are picked and packed

well before ripeness, then shippedacross the state.

Once you try a Nitta Ranch peach,youll never go back.

Harvest season at Nitta Ranch inLoomis is all too short typically 10

days. Each fruit is carefully han-picked at its peak and sold on thesame day. Coaxing the best of naturesbounty in healthy, sustainable wayshas been a priority for the Nitta fam-ily for nearly a century.

Choichi (Charles) Nitta emigratedfrom Japan to the United States as ateen in the early 1900s. He moved toLoomis and worked nearby fruitorchards while dreaming of startinghis own farm. He bought the ranch

through an intermediary Japanese Americans were notallowed to buy property at thetime and planted peaches,pears and plums. The familyfarmed the ranch until WorldWar II, when Japanese familieswere sent to internment camps.The home still stood after the

war, but the crops had beenneglected, and the equipmenthad been stolen.

Fast forward five decades:Mark and Jennie Nitta, alongwith their adult son, Ian, movedback home to tend the farmMark grew up on.

Theres no evidence thatthere has ever been a honeyshortage on this farm, jokedJennie Nitta, pointing to the

large swaths of bee-coveredclover that circle the orchards.Duke, a 10-year-old black Lab,

lazes in the shade, eagerly hop-ping up to meet each new guestas cars pull up.

Hes just in Lab heaven here,Jennie Nitta said of the elderlypet who was rescued from ashelter.

Its obvious careful steward-ship of the land is important to

everyone in the family.This land is in our hands for

only a short time, Jennie Nittasaid. We must care for it andcherish it so we can pass thiswonderful gift on to the nextgeneration.

Jan White, a fellow peachlover, appreciates purchasing

fruit in the rural atmosphere.The fruit is organic, fresh and

the family is so friendly, Whitesaid. Its just such a pleasure tocome out here and look at thesunflowers and these orchards.Its a family business that werespect so much.

This year is Jennie and Mark

.Nittas third peach harvest andthey admit there is still a lot tolearn about sustainable farm-ing.

The farm produces between300 and 400 boxes of sweet fruiteach season, and Jennie Nittasaid that sustainable practices,such as growing clover to crowd

weeds out and using organicfertilizer, are not only better forthe environment, but they makeeconomic sense, too. The familyuses crop rotation and low-tillmethods to ensure long-termtree health, while inviting bene-ficial insects and animals tokeep pest populations down.

Mark Nitta said farming hasbeen fun, but also has its chal-lenges.

Farmers are always having totry new things, he said. Organ-ic farms follow certain rules andsome of the large farms still useallowable chemicals. We dontuse any pesticides on our trees.

Todays shopper cares abouttheir food.

People want to talk to us,

Jennie Nitta said. They want totalk about how we grow thefood, about all the nutrients. Wekeep our standards high, andwhen people taste our fruit theydefinitely come back.

Her husband agrees: Askyourself, What is local? Is itfrom Southern California?Make a trip to a family farm.

Pear season is mid-Augustthrough October.

Persian-American chefMamad Nafissi prideshis dining room on

being an environmentwhere customers enjoy

good wine, relaxing con-versation and the many-textured spices of hischildhood home in Teh-ran: This has always beenhis dream since openingBubba Kababa in GraniteBay.

But a leisurely restau-rant pace after sundownisnt always convenientfor busy professionals

during work hours, soNafissi has added a fast-moving, all-you-can-eatlunch buffet to the menu.

Meal-goers who carrytheir porcelain pyramid-plates through the buffetline can load up with ten-der flatbread, Mediter-ranean-style salad, assort-ments of airy flavored rice,soft-roasted tomatoes,

fire-torched yellow chick-en Koodbideh, beef ka-bobs with cucumber yo-gurt and healthy veg-etable Persian stew.

Customers who showup early have a chance ofenjoying these spoils fromthe elegant ebony Sultanchairs at the Kings table.

Honestly, I got the idea

for the buffet from beinglocated next to Taco Bell,Nafissi said. I would seeall of these nice cars com-ing through its drive-thruat lunch. I started talkingwith some of those cus-tomers to see what thedraw is, and I was toldthat while everyoneloves our food the

restaurant doesnt workfor everyone during lunchbecause some peopleneed to get back to workfaster.

Nafissis buffet is meantto remedy that situation.Its initial concept is sim-ple: Bubba Kababas chefand owner has put 90 per-cent of the items his cus-tomers order most on thebuffet line while simulta-neously lowering theprice. The buffet lunchcurrently rings in at $9.95.

We have a tentative

menu and its going wellso far, Nafissi said. Oncewe feel it out, we may addto it and bring in moreelaborate heating tables.At the moment, were justgetting the word out andfocusing on getting foodto the customers fasterduring lunch.

Granite Bay parents,foodies and wineconnoisseurs alike

will soon have the chanceto dine, drink and mingle all for a good cause.

The Emerald Brigade,Granite Bay High Schoolsmusic program, is host-ing its second annualWines Around the Bayfundraiser Saturday, Aug.24. The event will featurea tasting of local wines,appetizers and desserts,

and the band will provideaural entertainment.For Band Director Lynn

Kulikowski, the success ofsuch events is critical.

Our band budget is to-tally dependent on do-nations and fundraising,she said.

Funds from last yearswine tasting financed thepurchase of new drums,said Event Coordinator

Brent Van Hoozen.Much of the bands

equipment was pur-chased when Granite BayHigh opened in 1996,meaning many instru-ments are now as old asthe students who playthem. Rather than saveup for several years topurchase the drums, theEmerald Brigade organ-ized a wine tasting and

raised $7,500 two-thirds of the moneyneeded in a singleevening.

Theres more equip-ment than the drums thatneed to be replaced ... inthe relatively near future,Van Hoozen said. So,ongoing fundraising at-tempts such as this arenecessary.

The Emerald Brigade,which encompasses sev-eral seasonal and concertbands, color guard andmarching band, is highlydecorated. In 2011, theband won the statewide

Western Band Associa-tion sweepstakes, andhas been asked to play atCarnegie Hall in New Yorkthis coming year.

But the program hasgiven many of its partici-pants, like current bandpresident and senior AlexRocca, much more thanbragging rights.

The Emerald Brigadefocuses on self-responsi-bility while making theband as a whole lookgood, he said. Therereally are no individualstars. The whole band has

to work together to makea formation look correcton the field or to create afull sound.

Kimberly Sinclair, aClass of 2013 graduate,joined the program as afreshman. After a four-year tenure with the Em-erald Brigade, she en-rolled as a music major atthe University of Michi-

gan, and intends to playclarinet in their marchingband, as well.

(Band) makes youconnected with theschool and with people,helps you develop as a

person, develop timemanagement (skills) andbe part of a high-achiev-ing group, she said. Idefinitely learned a lot

about music and devel-oped my passion for (it).

When not traveling,competing or fundrais-ing, the band participatesin a wide variety of phil-anthropic events, includ-ing performances at hos-pitals, womens sheltersand the Walk to Cure Dia-betes in Sacramento.Kulikowski also directs ayearly concert to benefit

the American Cancer So-ciety and the Amyotroph-ic Lateral Sclerosis Socie-ty.

For students like Sin-clair, the bands greatestbenefactors are the bandmembers themselves.

Dont underestimatehow much good a highschool group can do, andhow much it can change

the kids and the future ofour generation, she said.

Haley Massara is a 2013 gradu-

ate of Granite Bay High School.

She will attend the University of

California at Berkeley this fall.

Sitting at his desk atEureka ElementarySchool, listening dis-

interestedly to his teach-ers lectures, the last thingyoung Radford Rad Pe-terson ever wanted was tospend his life at the frontof a classroom.

Yet, despite this youth-ful aversion to education,Peterson now spends hisdays teaching sixth gradeat Ridgeview ElementarySchool in Granite Bay.

Petersons teaching sty-le embodies all those ele-ments he said his ownschooling lacked.

He is the epitome ofeducating and mentoringthe whole child, saidRidgeview ElementaryPrincipal Patrice McCal-lum. Whether he isteaching a child with spe-cial needs or extraordi-

nary needs, he interactswith each child as anindividual, with individ-ual needs, individualstrengths and individual

skills and talents.As a child, Peterson

failed to see the value inhis education and its con-nection to his futuregoals.

I saw my future as col-lege, so I had to put upwith my teachers until Igot through, Petersonsaid. And then I got tocollege, and I wasnt pre-pared.

Shocked by the realiza-tion, Peterson changedhis major, and thenchanged it again andagain.

His guidance counselorsuggested he look intoteaching.

I just about fell overdead, Peterson said.


Ridgeview Elementary School teacher Radford Peterson has earned a reputation for using uniqueteaching methods that keep students engaged in learning.

His grandmother, motherand father had all been teach-ers, and Peterson had neverwanted to end up in theirshoes. But once he beganteaching, he fell in love.

From his new vantage at thefront of the classroom, Petersonwas able to see a previouslyabsent connection between hischildhood education and hisfuture. He could create in hisclassroom the very environ-ment he lacked as a child: a fun,inspiring place for learning.

Hes really good at reward-ing people for good things theydo and not just in class, butin life, said former studentOlivia Greiss. When peopleseem to have bad habits, hesdifferent from most teachersbecause he finds different waysto help kids change bad habitsinto good behavior.

Each day, the sixth-gradersbegin class by reciting a specialpledge written by Peterson,affirming the renewed possibil-ity of a new day, unmarred by

previous days mistakes. Peter-son encourages students to seethe value in each day, becauseeach day is a stepping-stone inlifes larger journey. As withmost everything in Petersons

classroom, this important les-son is conveyed through visualmetaphor.

On the Promethean Board inhis room, Peterson will projecta photograph of Fort Knox,with a winding path leading toit and a curbside McDonaldsstand. Fort Knox is wherePeterson intends to take hisstudents, he will explain duringthe lesson, and as enticing asthe McDonalds is, it is worththeir while to keep followinghim. If they stop, they may geta French fry, but they will alsoget left behind and never makeit to the fort.

Go to Fort Knox, get the goldand (then) buy the wholerestaurant, Peterson joked.

In his classroom, Fort Knoxrepresents college. Just as hisparents normalized the expec-

tation of college for him, Peter-son aims to make college a log-ical step in his students lives.

Photographs decorate aWall of Honor in the class-room. Each student featuredwas a former student of Peter-sons, and has since gone on todo everything from play soccerto intern at the CIA all bytraveling the much-laudedavenue of college.

Someday, my goal is to have

my whole room covered with(pictures), so that I cant evenput student work up anymore,Peterson said. (That way), akid can look up and go, Wow,that kid was in this desk and hewent to college and did that.

Peterson understands, fromteaching his own three daugh-ters,that long-term success hasless to do with the facts onelearns in elementary schooland more to do with the expe-

riences one has. Though factswill fade, the appreciation of,and enthusiasm for, learningthat Peterson aims to cultivatewill endure.

School has to be more thanjust curriculum and facts,especially at that age, he said.

When the Granite BayInformation Technolo-gy class held its annual

alumni luncheon in Decem-

ber, instructor Jared Amalongexpected a handful of profes-sionals to attend boy, washe wrong.

More than 60 past and cur-rent students assembled inthe classroom to talk abouthow the program, known asGBiT, applies to the realworld. Amalongs wife made asecond trip to Costco to pickup more pizzas.

The digital revolution

means its a great time to be ateacher and student at Gran-ite Bay High School, a campusthat has fully embraced tech-nological advancements. Thecampus GBiT program allowsstudents to learn the mostcurrent technologies as theyprogress at a rapid pace.

I really feel this generationcan do fantastic things and

keep up with the excitinggrowth we see in our societyevery day, Amalong said.

GBiT continues to evolvewith the times, with two biginitiatives planned for the

upcoming school year underthe helm of instructor Ama-long, who took over the courselast year from teacher ZacharyWeidkamp, who left to run theschools new InternationalBaccalaureate Career Certifi-cate class in film studies.

I came into a great dealwith some fantastic students,Amalong said. Its great to bea teacher here at Granite BayHigh School because this is a

fantastic school, and its beenreally, really great to be theteacher of a class where stu-dents want to be here bychoice.

GBiT launched in 2001 withfew students and a partner-ship with Intel, and has mor-phed into a popular programof study although femaleenrollment remains low

gy ,nology in a global society andtechnology leadership.

Amalong, who joined Gran-ite Bay from Lincoln HighSchool, where he created a pro-gram modeled after the one athis new campus, says he will

continue the traditions of theprogram.

One of the students mainroles is to act as support forteachers and staff. Sometimes,adults have a hard time accept-ing training and advice fromteenagers, Amalong said, butGranite Bay staff has embracedthis training and technical as-sistance piece.

Currently, if a teacher has acomputer problem, he calls an

extension number and ispatched through to the dis-tricts help desk. When possi-ble, the call is then dispatchedto the GBiT students, who con-nect with the teacher to resolvethe issue.

GBiT students handled 170calls for service in the springsemester.

Amalong says GBiT is Com-

mon Core come to life, refer-ring to the nationwide curricu-

lum shift to an educationalapproach that emphasizes crit-ical thinking over filling in bub-bles on a multiple-choice test.His students troubleshoot,think and deal with complexcalculations on a daily basis.

The programs two big initia-tives this year involve imple-menting Google Apps for Edu-cation to allow teachers and

students to use technology inreal time in the classroom, and

reviving GBiTs presence in thecommunity; teens will hosttech support days where thepublic can bring their comput-er devices and have themtuned up, repaired, virusesremoved and hardware in-stalled for a suggested dona-tion.

Amalong said all of this willprepare students to apply for

technology jobs that may noteven exist yet. The U.S. Bureau

of Labor Statistics predicts that4.2 million new jobs in com-puters and information tech-nology will be created by 2020.

The advanced students inGBiTs capstone class this fallwill act as a web manager, threetech managers, programmingmanager and CEO.

Four of the teens are paiddistrict interns this summer,

j Gyear and will be a senior in thefall.

My favorite part is thehands-on access to technolo-gy, Baxter said. I dont comefrom a rich background anddidnt have access to a lot of

technology, so coming in hereit was life-changing. I finallygot to do what I want to do.

Hes learned customer serv-ice and public speaking inaddition to fixing computers.This fall, hell become lead techmanager in charge of eightpeers who fix and maintaincomputers on campus.

For this aspiring future pres-ident of the United States, GBiThas opened up opportunities

and guided his decision to jointhe U.S. Air Force after graduat-ing.

I want to work on program-ming drones, Baxter said.That seems like the coolestthing ever.

Granite Bay teen namedU.S. Presidential Scholar

BY SENA CHRISTIAN

GRANITE BAY VIEW

Natalie and Loren Sta-ley moved to GraniteBay in the late 1990s

so their young son couldbenefit from the areasstellar public school sys-tem.

But, it turns out, Mat-thew Staleys path wouldveer off in a totally differ-ent direction into theworld of home educa-tion. Matthew, now 18,

would end up beingtaught by his mother in aprivate home school withone pupil.

We moved to the areabecause of the school dis-trict, and we never usedit, Natalie Staley said,laughing at the irony.

The family credits Mat-thews home school edu-

cation and its flexibilitywith allowing their son toflourish educationally,despite a 16-year battlewith a birth defect that

often left Matthew withsevere abdominal pain.Instead of falling behinddue to ill health, he wasable to work at his ownpace.

Earlier this month,Matthew was named aU.S. Presidential Scholar,which recognizes some ofthe nations most distin-guished high school sen-iors. He was one of 141

students to earn the hon-or and the only one whowas home schooled. Heand his parents traveledto Washington, D.C., inJune to attend an awardsceremony PresidentObama was absent dueto the G8 Summit.

Its quite an honor,Matthew said.

Established in 1964, theprogram expanded in1979 to include studentswho demonstrate excep-tional talent in the visual,

creative and performingarts. Each year, 3,800 can-didates are identified asqualified for the academ-ic part of the programbased on their exception-ally high SAT or ACTscores.

Matthew got every sin-gle question on the SATcorrect, although he didmiss a few points on theessay portion of the exam

for a total score of 2380.These candidates are

then invited to apply bysubmitting essays on var-ious topics. One of thoseassignments was to writeabout a person whoinspired the teenager,and Matthew wroteabout his teacher hismom.

When time came forMatthew to enter kinder-garten, the Staleys decid-ed Natalie would take asabbatical from her job atHewlett Packard to edu-cate her son for a year.But it became clear theirson would struggle in a

traditional school settingbecause of his healthissues.

So, Natalie Haley madethe decision to give upher job and continue toteach her son. She sayshome schooling familiestend to find each otherand she quickly devel-oped a network of other

Hollingshead to helpstart church branchBY ERIC SILBERSTEIN


Granite Bay HighSchool alumnus Ry-an Hollingshead was

hand selected to play forthe Sacramento All-Starson Sacramento SoccerDay July 18 and was quickto pounce on the chanceto get back in the gameafter putting FC Dallas, theMLS team that draftedhim, on hold.

During his junior year of

high school, Hollingsheadbegan to take soccer seri-ously. What started as ameans to attend a gooduniversity grew into ahopeful soccer career.

Hollingshead was votedPac-12 Player of the Year inhis final season at the Uni-versity of California at LosAngeles last fall, and he

made the Capital One Ac-ademic All-District team,the NSCAA All-Americasecond team and receivedmore honors.

Hollingshead has whatit takes to go pro: size,speed, awareness and tal-ent. So, under normal cir-cumstances, FC Dallasmade a smart pick in theMLS SuperDraft when ittook Hollingshead withthe first pick in the secondround, No. 20 overall.

But his older brother,Scott, is on a mission tostart a new branch of the

Harvest Bible Chapel inSacramento, and Ryanwants to help.

Its something my heartis in just as much as his is,Hollingshead said.

With confidence in hisdecision, he said, MLS as-ide, no matter how I did orwhere I got drafted, I wan-ted to be a part of this

church.He may resume his soc-

cer career once the churchis established.

For Sacramento Soccer

Day, Hollingshead was onthe Sacramento All-Stars,a group of MLS prospectsand local players. Theyplayed a team of San JoseEarthquakes reserves, en-ding in a 3-3 tie. The nextgame pitted English Pre-mier League team Nor-wich City against Doradosde Sinaloa, a club in Mexi-cos Primera Division A, asthe headlining event.

Sacramento Soccer Daypreviewed the goals of theregions new football club:Republic FC. One goal ofthe club was to show thatsoccer fans in the greaterSacramento region can getbehind a team, and aturnout of more than14,000 at Raley Fieldproved that support.

Granite Bay orthodontist

creates smiles in fun officeBY STEPHANIE GARCIA


If you walk into Olym-pus Pointe Orthodon-tics in Roseville, you

might take a secondglance to make sure youdidnt just wander into askateboard shop.

The radiant officeboasts colorful graffiti,

skating me-morabilia andeven a mini half-pipe.

Canvas photos of kids inaction don the walls of thepractice and a fish tankpeeks out of both sides ofone wall in the waitingarea. Dr. Garri Tsibel creat-ed this happy oasis withfamilies in mind.

I wanted this to be dif-ferent, he said. No onewants to get braces, butcreating an environmentwhere kids can relate tothe sports they see on thewalls encourages them tofeel more comfortable.

The active communi-ties of Roseville and Gra-

nite Bay have been theperfect place to set up hispractice Tsibel, his wifeand their two young sonsalso live in the area.

Now in his eighth yearat the Roseville location,Tsibels passion for ortho-dontics blends nicely withhis childhood passion for

skating his office boastscanvas prints of his child-hood skate park in VeniceBeach.

I love what I do, Tsibelsaid. I create smiles formy patients. The workthey get done will changetheir life forever in a posi-tive way. It will create

confidence. That means alot to me.Tsibels staff echoes the

same passion that heemulates. Most of theteam has been with himfrom the beginning.

This isnt work, this is afamily. We feel like a fam-ily working together and we love the familieswe see, Tsibel said.

Raised in Santa Monica,

Tsibel loved to skateboardas a kid. His uncle was adentist and Tsibel knew ata very early age he wantedto become a dentist, too.

After receiving his Ba-chelor of Science degreein physiological sciencefrom the University of Cal-ifornia at Los Angeles, he

g yUniversity, where he grad-uated at the top 3 percentof his dental school class.It was only after complet-ing dentistry school thathe found a passion for

orthodontics.Orthodontics is some-thing new every day, hesaid. Its the only careerthat involves biology,physics, science and art.Each case is like a puzzle,so I am consistently think-ing. I love to learn, andorthodontics is an ever-changing science.

Sarah Marakas has tak-en her three sons to Tsibel

since they were youngboys. Now 16, 18 and 20,the boys are a walkingadvertisement for the or-thodontists precise work.

I enjoy his profession-alism, he is trustworthyand meticulous, she said.My boys smiles turnedout beautifully.
