Let me put this rightout there: I am not acamper.

I had this revelation

three years ago when afriend of mine decidedshe wanted her bache-lorette party to consist ofnine women gatheredaround a fire pit, freezing,in the mountains of San-ta Cruz. This was my firstcamping trip, and one ofthose great bonding ex-periences I wont soonforget. Oh, how the scan-dalous secrets came out!

The smores werentbad either.

But, the whole time the longest day and a halfof my life I foundmyself posing a series ofquestions. It began withloading up the SUV: Wait,

we need to bring all that?(As someone who prefersto pack light, almostproblematically so, I was

appalled at the amountof equipment involved inthe endeavor).

Then, once wed ar-rived: We have to makeour own food? I was sup-posed to bring mosquitorepellant? Does anyonehave an extra pillow? Orblanket? How in the heck

do you set up this tent?Needless to say, I got

out of doing a lot of theheavy labor.

I love the great out-doors, and I definitelydont mind being in aplace where I can lean myhead back and stare up atthe stars in the night sky,far away from the citylights. But, usually, when

Im done staring, I get togo inside a four-walledstructure and sleep in abed with a roof over my

head.As summer approaches,Im sure Ill hear friendsand relatives talking aboutplans for their annualcamping trips. But I canthelp wondering why any-one would choose to beuncomfortable when theycould stay in a lovely, cozycabin down the road andbe, uh, you know, com-fortable?

Before I get branded asa close-minded, spoiledbrat, Im vowing here andnow to give camping an-other try. Because, afterall, life is all about facingextreme adversity.

By the time she was 6years old, Trisha Pol-lock was water skiing

with her five older broth-

ers on Folsom Lake.She was also jumpingon a big backyard tram-poline, and eventuallyriding quads and motor-cycles, mud sliding, be-coming an accomplishedskeet shooter, like hersiblings, and much of thisoutdoor fun happenedon her familys propertyoff Cavitt Stallman Roadin Granite Bay.

You learned how to doall the boy stuff, Pollocksdad, John Tanner, told heron a recent afternoon.

The Tanner kids fivesons and two daughters spent a lot of time

together during theirchildhood: spending timeoutdoors, camping in the

mountains of Santa Cruzand traveling. A couple ofthe sons also acquiredtheir dads passion for fly-ing planes and becamepilots.

But this close-knit fam-ily doesnt just play hardtogether. Now, as adults,they also work hard to-gether as owners of Tan-

ner Industries, a con-struction and propertymanagement companybased in Granite Bay, withcommercial and industri-al buildings also inLoomis, Nevada and Ari-zona. Additionally, theyrun a commercial roofingcompany called WesternSingle Ply and a solarcompany called WSPSolar LLC.

Three of the siblings Pollock, David and ScottTanner reside locallyand play an active role inthe family business, pri-marily serving as land-lords of the 23,000-square-foot DouglasRidge Shopping Centerand a 21,000-square-footoffice building near the

corner of Douglas andSierra College boule-vards.

Within that center, cus-tomers can find suchbusinesses as Cheeses-

teak Grille, StayFIT, RimaBoutique and U.S. Cryo-therapy, the first cold-therapy clinic in the Unit-ed States. The Tannersalso own the nearbyproperty occupied byDirt Busters Car Wash.

I like dealing with thetenants and propertymanagement and tryingto find a fit for people,said Scott Tanner, 46. Welike to bring (businesses)in that would benefit thecommunity.

In May 2012, the family

opened Douglas RidgeRV Boat Storage with 170spots for renters to parktheir recreational vehi-cles and boats. A year lat-er, the facility is aboutone-third full. The Tan-ners felt there was a needfor this type of business,largely because of theirown experiences.

We all had boats andtrailers and no place to

take them and we hadspace back here, ScottTanner said.

The storage facility ison Sierra College Boule-vard, tucked away behindthe shopping center

or, as some mightremember the area, theformer site of the JukeBox.

You tell anyone itsover by the old Juke Boxand they always knowwhere the old Juke Boxis, Scott Tanner said.

Like his siblings, ScottTanner attended Green-hills School and CavittJunior High School inGranite Bay, and graduat-ed from Oakmont HighSchool in Roseville. Hesaid the only local shop-

ping when he was grow-ing up in the 1970s wasRoseville Square on Dou-glas Boulevard.

The family moved fromSouthern Alberta, Cana-da, to California in 1968,when patriarch John Tan-ner was offered a job withan oil company. He laterlaunched a constructioncompany and develop-ment business. They built

their home on that prop-erty off Cavitt Stallman,where the parents re-main.

Scott Tanner joined thefamily business a fewyears ago, after leaving

the area to attend college

at Brigham Young Uni-versity in Utah, where hemajored in constructionmanagement. He and hiswife, a vocalist, also livedin Nevada and Tennesseeand back to Salt LakeCity. For his second job,he does mobile market-ing for real-estate com-panies.

His brother David, 42,also graduated from Brig-ham Young Universitywith a degree in technol-ogy management andmet the woman whowould become his wifeof, so far, nearly 20 years.In his spare time from thefamily business, he runs aside business in roofingand maintenance. Theyhave four children andlive in Granite Bay.

We like the school dis-trict, David Tanner said.We like the community.We have friends and fam-ily here.

Theres definitely noshortage of familyaround, despite the factthat the other four sib-lings live in Idaho, Utahand Canada. But thebest three siblings arehere, Pollock jokes.

Pollock, 35, has workedas a cosmetologist for thepast 14 years. She saidher home business hasbenefitted from herinvolvement with TannerProperties.

Weve all seen them: sleek-hulledsailboats dancing across San Fran-

cisco Bay, Alcatraz looming in thebackground. On high wind days, thesmall watercrafts seem to have wings.

Terms like regatta, racing fleets andAmericas Cup imply a sport of priv-

ilege a sport only the wealthycan play.

Well, Folsom Lake Yacht Clubwill gladly dispel the myth

that sailing is only for therich.

The local club, com-prising 35 members,

who have not pre-viously had a

chance to sail.You dont

Some people just enjoy crewingand joining in the fun on otherpeoples boats, said MarkWerder, the clubs commodore.

The group has been aroundfor more than 50 years, andmembers meet weekly at theirclubhouse at Browns Ravine,on the El Dorado Hills side ofFolsom Lake.

Any Wednesday evening, ifyou see sailboats, large andsmall, skimming waves, canvasstretched aloft and catching theafternoon breeze, its likely aclub member, doing what he orshe loves best.

Granite Bay resident BruceRyhal grew up in the Sacramen-to area and has owned a sail-boat since the 1970s. He learnedto sail at the University of Cali-fornia San Diego AquaticsCenter.

I remember hearing aboutthe Folsom Lake Yacht Club inthe 60s, and when I returned toNorthern California, after thecollege years, I knew I would

join, he said.Ryhal said the club is a per-

fect introduction to the sport.I see people coming to uswith all different backgrounds,he said. We have people whohad experience as a juniorsailor, people from other clubs,people who were exposed tosailing in college maybe theycrewed for some friends. Somepeople love the team experi-ence of crewing, or maybe theywant to learn to sail, or maybethey want to meet other sailors

or have an opportunity to race.There are a lot of differentexpectations.

Werder agrees. He said sailingis the perfect family sport.

Our 35 members actuallymean 35 families, so our num-bers are really much higherthan that, he said. I joined theclub when I got married and Ibought a boat that was family-friendly. Were really building

our members who have kids.People are interested in theirkids learning how to sail.

One of Werders favorite clubactivities is a barbecue thattakes place when members gettogether and anchor their boatsin some pristine body of water.

People walk back and forthacross the boats, he said. Westay a night or two on the boat,and everyone has a great time.

Another reason both menenjoy the club is it gives themthe opportunity to race.

Racing gives you a real pur-

pose, a competitive edge,Werder said. And it definitelyheightens the experience. Itpushes you to learn whatsgoing on with your boat andhow you can get faster.

Ryhal owns two boats, one ofwhich is an HV-2 dinghy, a two-

person craft described as veryhigh-performance.On a howling wind day, it

will keep up with a Jet Ski,Ryhal said.

Ryhal agrees that joining theyacht club is a must for enthu-siasts who enjoy the competi-tive side of sailing.

A local yacht club is kind of aconduit to the global world ofsailing, he said. I want to race,or at least be involved in recre-

ational racing types of activi-ties. I want to be part of the net-work.

The network can be de-scribed as one that gives manyreciprocal privileges amongyacht clubs around the world,and one in which you mightmeet someone who has wonnumerous races, or someonewho just finished a race on theother side of the globe.

As the sun sets on FolsomLake in May, Bruce Ryhal

and his sailing friend JimHurley head out for anevening trip.

Granite Bay High students volunteer tobuild play structure for 4-year-old

Autumn Grisham, 4, dreamed of a playstructure built like a red barn in the back-

yard of her familys Rocklin house.This would be a place where she could escape

with her older brother, Calvin, 5, and forgetabout their lives with neurofibromatosis type 1,a rare genetic disorder in which nerve tissuegrows tumors that can turn cancerous. Theirfather, Darin, also has neurofibromatosis.

When Autumn was granted her wish throughthe Make-A-Wish Foundation, a group of vol-unteers, including seven students with theMake-A-Wish Club at Granite Bay High School,quickly constructed the surprise while the sib-lings were away overnight.

Family friend Jesse Paiz moved all the mulchto place under the play structure and built the

fence that surrounds the yard, while GraniteBay students Emma Graycyk and art teacherMyron Stephens painted small chicks on thebarn one of Autumns favorite animals. Theplay structure comes with a slide, swings, lad-ders, bells and a play garden Autumn can water.

Other members of the club decorated for thereveal party to coincide with Autumnsprincess-themed birthday party May 4, whichincluded a pony dressed like a unicorn.

I

f you follow this column reli-

giously, you might remem-ber I wrote a review onCabos Mexican Restaurant inGranite Bay a little more thanone year ago.

I recently decided to pay therestaurant another visit to findout what (if anything) haschanged since then.

I remember leaving after myinitial visit feeling somewhatlethargic and ready to lie downfor a nice long nap, preferably

in a hammock on a beach inMexico. But it wasnt just thehuge portions and hearty Mex-ican food that made me feelthat way.

In my opinion, one of thebest things Cabos has going for

it is its dcor and ambiance.The restaurant is housed in a

very beautiful, classic two-sto-

ry Spanish ranch-style buildingwith a large water fountain outfront and plenty of authenticdecorations inside. The boothsare comfortable and the at-mosphere is welcoming albeit the parking lot is a bitsmall for a restaurant of its size.

A trip to Cabos is not unlikebeing whisked away to a bistroin Mexico where margaritasand fresh chips and salsaabound.

Another positive note for therestaurant is the chips and sal-sa. Cabos serves two kinds ofchips flour and corn alongwith a fresh salsa that co-ownerEzequiel Rodriguez whips uphimself every morning.

On this my second visit, wewere immediately greeted byRodriguez, who also waits

tables at the establishment.I was surprised to not see anydrink prices on the margaritamenu, which was a bit off-putting. There were plenty ofhouse margarita offerings, butit was hard to tell if I was order-ing an $8 drink, $12 or more.(You never know in todaysrestaurants Ive seen housecocktails go north of $20.)

I decided to order the top-shelf margarita, which on the

menu was described as SauzaHornitos reposado tequila withsweet and sour and a float ofGrand Marnier.

When the drink came out,the tequila was lost in the sweetand sour and the Grand Mar-

nier, ifit was actu-ally in there, wasanything but visible.

My date ordered the skinny

margarita Sauza Hornitosplata tequila with agave nectarand fresh lime juice.

I could actually taste thetequila in this one and after afly landed in my first drink, Iordered another round, this

time the same as my date.Trying not to fill up on the

delicious flour tortilla chips, westarted with the sampler appe-tizer ($11.25) a mixture ofchicken sopitas (soft, thickcorn tortillas with shreddedchicken and a red sauce),steak tacos de plaza (which

were actually just Mexicanstreet tacos) and chickentaquitos.

The plate, which came to ourtable less than five minutesafter we ordered it, was alsoserved with a generous portionof guacamole, sour crme andpico de gallo.

From the very start of ourmeal, I suspected that notmuch has changed at Cabossince our last visit.

In fact, I suspected that notmuch has changed in the 17years it has been open. Rod-riguez confirmed this suspi-cion in a later conversation,where he estimated that about80 percent of his business isbased on returning customers.

That is a pretty good trackrecord.(With) a lot of them, we

always joke because we alreadyknow what they want to eatand what they like to drink,Rodriguez said. Some of themhave been eating the samething for 17 years. They haventchanged anything.

This certainly seemed true,as evidenced by some of the

patrons in the restaurant at thetime of my recent visit.

An elderly couple in thebooth next to us, who wereseated well after we arrived,were quickly greeted by Rod-riguez and knew exactly whatthey wanted when he ap-proached them.

Their food was brought outnot more than five minutes lat-

er. The couple quickly de-voured their meal and was upand out of there before anyoneeven knew they were there.

You dont get service that fastat In-N-Out Burger, let alone asit-down Mexican restaurant.

This presents a problem forme: If I am paying more than$10 for an entre, I expect mymeal to be cooked fresh, readyto order, not scooped on a plate

from a hotline where it hasbeen sitting ahem, excuseme marinating for sixhours.

Im not saying that is the caseat Cabos. Perhaps the chefsknow what sells and whatdoesnt and they are able torotate the food efficiently.

Nevertheless, Ive found this

scenario to be the case in near-ly every Mexican restaurant Ihave visited in Granite Bay,with very few exceptions.

For our entre course, Idecided to put the kitchen tothe test and order the Yucatanscallops (13.95) marinatedsea scallops sauted in wine,butter, roasted tomatoes andmushrooms.

Nothing, to me, seems more

indicative of a quality restau-rant than the way it preparesscallops, as, in my opinion,there is only one way to cookthem: the right way.

You know what I mean seared to perfection with acrispy, caramelized outer coat-ing, soft and buttery on theinside.

Buttery is indeed the rightway to describe this dish. How-ever, I need to back up here.

Upon ordering my Yucatanscallops, Rodriguez suggested Itry the Cabos shrimp and scal-lops ($14.95) the same dish,but with the addition of shrimp to which I reluctantly ob-liged.

I really, really (really) wanted

to like this dish. The presenta-tion was beautiful. But theever-present abundance ofbutter and oil was just toomuch. It overpowered the dishand all the wonderful flavors ofthe sea were lost in it.

My date opted for the moretraditional combo plate ($9.95)with a shredded beef burritoand cheese enchilada, servedwith rice and beans. Her dish

was delicious and had all thefamiliar flavors of what youwould expect at a traditionalMexican restaurant.

We finished off our meal withfresh, house-made churros andvanilla ice cream.

In the end, Ill return toCabos for the atmosphere, thedelicious skinny margaritaand the fast, friendly serviceRodriguez and his staff pro-vide.

I concluded, however, thatthis is not the place to go if youwish to venture outside of yourcomfort zone when it comes toMexican cuisine.

Next time, I will stick to thetraditional Mexican comfortfood that Rodriguez, as a chef

for more than 40 years, hasobviously come to perfect.Perhaps, I will even become

part of the 80 percent.

Brad Wilkes isnt anadrenaline junkie, buta self-proclaimed

mission junkie, whichmight actually be one andthe same.

Just give him a worthycause that involves those

less-fortunate doesntmatter where and whatthis need might be andhell at least give it someconsideration. In fact,Wilkes and his wife, Karen,have already served ontwo mission trips for theChurch of Jesus Christ ofLatter-day Saints in Gran-ite Bay. These missions arehumanitarian-focused.

Youre familiar withthe young kids in thewhite shirts? Well, werethe older version, BradWilkes, 57, said.

He served his first mis-sion in the mid-1970s at 19years old in the Bay Areaand Central Valley andknew since then hed do soagain with his spouse,once he married. A fewyears ago, he retired from

doing government finan-cial and operational con-sultant work and his wife,Karen, retired as a schoolpsychologist, so theycould embark on a more-satisfying adventure.

A friend had recentlydied in a plane crash,which inspired their de-sire to not wait, but to goimmediately.

in January.Now, theyplan to

stick ar-ound Northern Ca-

lifornia, at least fora little while.

Life in RwandaIn Rwanda, a

country of 11 mil-lion people, the

Wilkeses led mul-tiple initiatives to

improve thelives of resi-dents, includ-

ing sanitation, water, vision,neonatal resuscitation therapy,wheelchair, food productionand self-reliance projects.

Nothing weve done in our34 years of marriage is morefulfilling outside of raisingour kids than this, KarenWilkes, 56, said.

Rwanda is located slightlysouth of the equator at a highaltitude. While the Wilkeses con-sidered Uganda and Ethiopiariddled with corruption, theyfound Rwanda to be a highlyorganized society with a stablegovernment, and laws that areabided by and enforced. Theydescribe Rwanda as safe andbeautiful, with nice people.

The couple lived in a rented

duplex, for $1,300 a month, inthe capital of Kigali. Followingthe Rwandan genocide of 1994,when more than 500,000 peo-ple perished, according to Hu-man Rights Watch, dozens ofnonprofit organizations andnongovernmental organiza-tions moved into the country,eager to help. But, in theprocess, these good-heartedexpats drove up housing costs.

The Wilkeses bought gro-ceries from the neighborhoodmarket and fresh produce fromthe back of a farmers truck. InRwanda, theres one main lan-guage and most people in thecities speak English.

For these humanitarian trips,Mormon church leaders meetin Salt Lake City to determinewhere a missionary will go. Vol-unteers pay their own way. Thechurch focuses much of itsefforts in rural areas and Unit-

ed Nations refugee camps inwar-torn countries.

Rwanda has four refugeecamps, primarily occupied byCongolese, according to BradWilkes. The biggest problem on

these sites: sanitation. Atone camp of 17,000 peo-ple, on the top of a hill, notoilets existed peoplewould dig a hole in theground to go to the bath-room, Brad Wilkes said.

So, in the span of a fewmonths, he and his wifebecame experts on dis-chargeable latrines.

They hired an Africancontractor and camp peo-ple mainly women,who earned $1 a day tobuild the latrines. Eachlatrine cost $26,000 andwill last for 20 years, and

26 will be built once theproject is complete.Because each project

has a self-reliance compo-nent, the couple hired alocal person to train otherson hygiene how toproperly wash hands, howgerms are transmitted,how to prepare food. Thesepeople are then taskedwith training others.

Couple Leads ProjectsThere are two congre-

gations of the Church ofLatter-day Saints in Gra-nite Bay called wards,each with about 500members, according tolocal spokesman Jan Pin-ney. These wards are part

of a larger church unit ofabout 3,500 members,called a stake, whichalso includes five Rocklinwards.

Pinney said severallocal couples have lefttheir homes to serve mis-sion trips for up to three

years in Ukraine, Brazil,Arizona and Sierra Leone,among other nations. Onehusband and wife are cur-rently in Zimbabwe.

The Wilkeses are aninspiration to me, Pinneysaid. Brad retired early sohe and Karen would behealthy enough to serve arigorous service missionin Africa. A year afterreturning from their firstAfrican service mission,they decided to serve anadditional 18 monthshelping make things bet-ter for the African people.This level of commitmentis exemplary.

While in Rwanda, the

couple also found time tohelp construct waterfountains in a small vil-lage, so women and chil-dren would no longerhave to travel long dis-tances to watering holes.They made a water-cap-ture system, and drilled30 wells and put inpumps. They establisheda committee to assess

water fees to keep thewells functioning.

We dont just want tobuild it, feel good andleave, Brad Wilkes said.We want it to be there infive years.

The couple next ran aneonatal resuscitationtherapy workshop inwhich specialists fromthe United States taughtlocal midwives and phys-icians how to create anairway to save babiesstruggling to breathe.Each participant left witha kit of equipment to takeback to their clinics.

Another project in-volved distributing 300

wheelchairs sent fromthe Mormon church.Local technicians weretrained on the correctway to fit and fix wheel-chairs. One woman withpolio who had lost herhusband and three chil-dren in the genocide had been walking on herhands for years untilobtaining a wheelchair,

Brad Wilkes said.During Vision Project,

20,000 glasses were givento Rwandans and trainedprofessionals conductedretinal laser surgery at theUniversity Central Hospi-tal of Kigali. He met onewoman who hadnt readfor 15 years, because ofpoor eyesight.

Throughout Brad andKaren Wilkes stay, theyregularly saw indicationsof the genocides legacy onRwanda and its people.

Everywhere you go,every person is affectedby it, Brad Wilkes said.

But, his wife added,Rwandans as a whole

have moved past thistragic past and are happy,hardworking people. Sheconsiders it a great honorto participate in doingwhat she could to allevi-ate their suffering.

Members of the NorthernCalifornia Accordion Soci-ety break into a stirring

rendition of Take Me Out to theBallgame on a warm May

evening at the Lutheran Churchof the Resurrection in GraniteBay. Like baseballs anthem, theevocative accordion conjuresnostalgia for bygone times.

Its a unique instrument, saysAmy Siler, 14, of Rocklin. No oneelse that I know, except thesepeople, plays it.

Siler has received scholarshipsfor accordion lessons from the

Northern California AccordionSociety, which formed in 2002and meets monthly. The societypromotes educational opportu-nities and public awareness ofthe accordion. Group membersperform various styles of music,

including standards, classicalpieces and ethnic music.Like many in the group, Siler

took up accordion as a child, ataround age 7. Her grandmotherplays accordion, too.

Id always heard her playwhen I was little, and so onesummer when she was out on atrip, I started to play and then

when she came home I sur-prised her, Siler says.

During a solo on this Mayevening, she plays La Com-pagnola, a piece in her grand-mothers repertoire.

John Testa, 69, a former bandteacher for the Roseville CitySchool District, began playingaccordion 60 years ago, andnow teaches the instrument,fondly nicknamed a squeeze-box.

Its kind of the best of twoworlds, where you have themelody, the harmony and therhythm all together in theaccordion, Testa says. Thats

what makes it a solo instru-ment.Testa, who also played clar-

inet in his youth, petitioned hishigh school band teacher to lethim in her jazz dance band.

I asked her if I could play myaccordion in it and at first shesaid (famous bandleader) Tom-my Dorsey didnt have anaccordion, he says. But Italked her into it.

Before each monthly meet-ing, accordion society mem-bers may participate in a half-hour jam session, which in-cluded Irish music in Marchand Easter Parade in April.Then individuals and duetsperform, both before and aftera break for snacks and a raffle

that funds scholarships. Thesociety also recognizes mem-bers birthdays and weddinganniversaries, when couplesdance to waltzes played in theirhonor.

Among the group of about 50people at the May meeting,several singles and couples

came without their instru-ments. Darleen and John Feller,both of Swiss ancestry, met at apolka dance. She and her hus-band travel from Sun CityRoseville to hear accordionmusic, including trips to Okto-berfest in Oregon and theRipon Swiss Club.

The Pacific Coast is richwith accordion music, Fellersays.

Many in the society beganplaying accordion during theAmerican heyday of the instru-ment in the mid-20th century.Jerry Keifer began accordionlessons about 60 years ago,when a person knocked on thedoor of his childhood home inLos Angeles.

Back in the 50s and 60sthere were a lot of accordionstudents, says Keifer, 69, whonow lives in Loomis andrecently took over as societypresident. I guess it kind ofdied down with the guitars andthe Beatles and Elvis.

Taffy Steffen, of Folsom, alsobegan lessons thanks to a door-to-door salesman representinga music conservatory.

Im partial to the Frenchand Italian and the classics,says Steffen, who returned tothe accordion after 35 years. Alot of people (dont think of)the accordion as classical.

Society members have ap-preciated the accordionsaccompaniment to their life

stories.Vince Cukar founded the

accordion society. Like Steffen,he returned to the instrumentafter a long hiatus in hiscase, 34 years at my wifesinsistence. Cukar didnt beginlessons until age 15 becausehis father, an immigrant fromthen Yugoslavia, needed tosave up money to buy theinstrument. At one point,

Cukar practiced up to eighthours a day.Keifer played accordion on

the side while maintaining ajob at the railroad in Sacra-mento. He thanks his motherfor his accordion lessons laterin life.

I knew I was going to do thisfor the rest of my life, Keifersays. Thats how much I likethe accordion.

Granite Bay companysees blog-eBook hybrid

as a revolutionBY SCOTT THOMAS ANDERSON

GRANITE BAY VIEW

In a clean row of cubicles, a groupof fresh-face programmers is try-ing to break through the slumber

of conventional thinking: The menbehind Bamboo Creative dont justwant to be known as another techstart-up they want to be pioneerswho reinvent online publishing andthe possibilities of fan-artist inter-action in the digital age.

The inventors of the new plat-form Snippet are thinking big andmaking no apologies for how hightheyve set their sights.

Bamboo Creatives office on Dou-glas Boulevard in Granite Bay mayhave the look of a college computerlab, but there is nothing greenabout the technology its churningout, which is an interactive worldthat combines current reading

trends with long-proven elementsof fandom. In simple terms, Snippettakes the best parts of blogs andeBooks and fuses them together ina unique way that brings quality

and gate-keeping devices back intothe fold.

A Snippet is a digital reading doc-ument that never runs longer than1,000 words. It mirrors blogs in thesense that a Snippet typically in-cludes photos and embedded videoclips.

The content is always going tobe limited to 1,000 words per chap-ter, said C.J. Alvarado, BambooCreatives CEO. One of our authors

can write as many chapters as theywant, but, within each chapter, any-thing they cant say with 1,000words they can finish saying withphotos and videos.

While Snippets may have themixed media flare so commonlyseen in the wild west of the blogos-phere, they also tap into the nationsgrowing obsession with eBooks in avery direct way. The writers creating

Snippets are reimbursed, accordingto sales, for their time, energy andintellectual stamina.

But for readers, writers andpotential investors, such claims

about profit invoke an obviousquestion: In an era where newspa-pers and magazines struggle due toAmericans reluctance to pay foronline content, why will consumershunker down and buy Snippets? Tothis, Alvarado responds withtwo simple words: incen-tive and affordability.Snippet prices willrange from .99 to$4.99. More impor-

tantly, Snippet is bat-tling to recruit con-tributors that bringundeniable value orfan bases to thetable.

good connection with theirfans, Alvarado explained.Were also reaching out topopular and well-establishedbloggers. A lot of consistentbloggers have told us about

how frustrating it is that someof their most profound workjust gets buried. If we bring ablogger into Snippet, it allowshim or her to pick, lets say, their10 best blogs of the year and re-present them in clean, user-friendly way thats monetized.

Bamboo Creatives team be-lieves the blogosphere has notbeen completely tapped oftop-notch talent yet, pointing

out there are a number ofexperts in certain fields whowould be extremely popular ifthey blogged.

However, they end up de-ciding theres just no return onthe investment theyd put intoit Snippet has the potentialfor a financial return on thatkind of time and energy. On

our end, this creates built-in

marketing. Its very viral, itsvery tribal, Alvarado said.Snippet also aims to give

musical artists a better way toreach out to fans as digitaldownloads reign supreme andtraditional CD and record jack-ets go the way of the wind.Snippets mixed-media capa-bility allows musicians to cre-

ate a crisp package that

includes written messages,lyrics, rare photos and studiowork or live performances all in a way that grabs revenueto help keep the creativeendeavors going.

Theres the opportunity totake the reading experienceinto a community with otherfans, said Snippet Project

Developer Jake Elia. Thatalone appears to a variety oflearning styles that are outthere.

For Ben De Rienzo, the artdirector behind Snippets col-orfully sleek look and feel, thepossibilities keep revealingthemselves.

Were going for a beautiful,mobile reading experience,De Rienzo said. A lot of digitalbook offerings are pretty bland.Our design is to make peoplefeel like theyre not a slave towhat theyre reading. Weremaking it a more social andenergetic experience.

And that is exactly what drewRocklin writer Genny Heikka toSnippet. Heikke has written a

parenting blog since 2008.Now, shes embarked on aseries of Snippets that will actlike a collective eBook calledFinding Mommy Bliss. So far,Heikka has been thrilled withthe different avenues Snippetallows for self-expression.

Its such a cool, new plat-form, Heikke said. Ive

launched my first chapter, andI was able to include photosand video of me speakingabout the whole concept forwhat Id be working on, andthen tying that back into thechapters relevance I alsolove how you can commentdirectly on social media from a

Snippet. Things like that makeyou realize how exciting it is tobe part of something new.

For Alvarado and his team,one of the biggest messages toget out is that Snippet is meantto strengthen the future of writ-ing, not weaken it.

Reading can be extremelyenriching, Alvarado said. Butsome people view it as beingboring because its not interac-

tive. We want to change that.We think this will get youngerreaders to connect with writersin a new way. Were trying tosolve a major problem weretrying to do something huge.

Ateens idea has spawned afestival of music. The Clas-sical Masters Music Festi-

val was conceived three yearsago by 14-year-old Granite Bay

boy Austin Lee.Now a reality, the capstone

event of the festival, the galaconcert, takes place Saturday,June 8, at Three Stages at Fol-som Lake College.

The concert will feature in-ternationally known pianist DiWu and local classical guitarmaster Brandon Yip. The Fol-som Lake College Youth Cham-

ber Orchestra will perform.Three years ago, Austin was

putting on the ChampagneConcerto as a fundraiser for theDel Oro Caregiver Resource

Center in Citrus Heights. Heraised around $50,000.

Austin, a pianist, imagined amusic festival where musiciansgather to gain inspiration andothers become motivated tolearn about music. Accordingto his father, Edward Lee,Austin originally consideredholding the event in his juniorhigh school cafeteria.

Then, at one of the Cham-pagne Concertos, Austin raninto Dr. Thelma Scott-Skill-man, then-president of FolsomLake College.

We talked about starting amusic festival, Austin said. Ididnt even know that she wasthe president at the time.

As a result, Skillman offeredto open up Three Stages at Fol-som Lake College, which wasstill under construction at thetime. The first year the per-forming arts center opened,the Classical Masters Music

Festival was held.Now 17 and a junior at Gran-

ite Bay High School, Austin stillhelps organize the event.

Trained in Germany, Wu hasappeared with the PhiladelphiaOrchestra, Hamburg Philhar-monic, New York Pops, NationalSymphony Orchestra, SingaporeSymphony and many others.

Yip is also a featured per-

former. Yip has performed pro-fessionally since 1985. He start-ed out with piano lessons whenhe was 7, and at 12 years old, hefell in love with the guitar. Clas-sical guitar, though, began forhim when he was in college.

He is the pastor of worshipministry development at Bay-side Church in Granite Bay.

more than catch fishBY TOBY LEWIS


Mike Howes was thousands of miles away fromhome when he caught, and released, thebiggest fish of his life. At least, thats what he

tells his friends.The fish: a 15-pound Golden Dorado, the fresh-

water cousin to the ocean-bound Dorado, whichyou might recognize more commonly as mahimahi.

Howes was in Uruguay on an excursion, a fish-out so to speak, with a group of friends from theGranite Bay Flycasters fishing club.

Much like a camp out, a fish-out is a groupactivity in which any member of the Granite Bay flyfishing club can tag along and go catch some fish.

We have 28 fish-outs this year, Howes saidrecently over a cup of coffee at Peets Coffee & Tea

in the Quarry Ponds Town Center. That is a lot.A fisherman all his life, Howes had never picked

up a fly rod until he moved to Sacramento in 2003to be closer to his kids.

I was retired and didnt have any friends, Howessaid. So, I was at the sportsman expo over at CalExpo and Granite Bay Flycasters had a booth there.I talked to the guys and kind of liked them. Ithought I needed someone to play with.

Howes is now in his fourth year as president of

the club and says if it werentfor the club, he might neverhave learned how to fly fish.

I totally enjoy it I feel likeits my club now, Howes said.Its fun to get together and see

how everybody helps every-body else out. Even if you dontknow fly fishing whatsoever,everybody just helps. They arenot selfish; they share whatthey know.

Tom Pettey has been part ofthe club for 10 years and agreesthat members not only havethe opportunity to learn how tofly fish, but can also learnabout watershed protection,fish biology and much more.

I think that prospectivemembers, when they comeonboard, have a lot of opportu-nities to interact with moreexperienced members, Petteysaid. Thats the way I learned.

In addition to providing edu-cation classes, club membershave organized trips to manycorners of the Earth to go catch

fish, including South America,Mexico and Alaska.

But Granite Bay Flycastersdoes more than organize fish-

outs and teach people how tofish. The club also contributesevery year to conservationgroups and provides scholar-ships for students studying toprotect important watershedsthroughout the world.

(Watersheds) have to becarefully guarded and protect-ed, Howes said. You always

have to want to take care ofthem. We have to protect themfor our kids.

Last year, the Granite Bay

Flycasters gave $7,500 in schol-arships and to conservationgroups, he said. The club raisesmoney through membershipfees and its annual dinner andawards banquet.

At the annual dinner, Howesexplained, the club also handsout what it calls its Wet Flyaward, which goes to a mem-

ber who does some incrediblyfoolish or unfortunate thing,which ultimately turns out tobe funny.

Last year, the guy who wonit was fishing on the Delta andhe just fell out of the boat,Howes said. Sometimes theline gets tangled, so he wentdown to pick it up and he justkept going.

The club, which was foundedin 1986 with 20 people, is now213 members strong and a

and children. They re trying toget more women to join.

Howes says the women rivalmany of the men at the craft,mainly because they tend topick it up quicker and have amuch lighter hand.

They are quite good, he

said. Because they are moremechanical than we are, be-lieve it or not. We try to over-power and they have themechanics down. They out-cast us any time.

Tall tales are not uncommonin the club, either. Just askHowes.

Regarding the giant GoldenDorado fish he caught inUruguay, Howes said he is notbeneath stretching the truth a

little bit.I was being modest saying

15 pounds, he said. Its prob-ably more like 20 or 25 poundsnow that the story has beentold.

permanent meetingplace in Granite Bay

BY SENA CHRISTIANGRANITE BAY VIEW

Once a month, localveterans gather totalk about sleeping in

the jungle, that time one ofthem barely missed beingshot, the dangers of com-bat, the fun they had livingoverseas.

One man in his 90srelays his experience in theBattle of the Bulge thebloodiest battle fought bythe Americans duringWorld War II and anoth-er gentleman talks aboutbeing a prisoner of war in

Korea. Among their ranks,there are also younger menwho served in Vietnam,Iraq and Afghanistan.

Many of the tales in-volve heroics, althoughplenty simply recall dailylife, as the men converseduring their meetings ofthe Veterans of ForeignWars Post 9869 in GraniteBay.

We like telling our sto-ries. Thats what it is: abrotherhood, said BillGrove, 65.

But this brotherhood 300 members strong on

gly attend mon-thly gatherings are without apermanentmeeting place.They hope to raise moneyto build a Veterans Memo-

rial Hall in Granite Bay, orwill gratefully ac-cept thedonation of a building.

Well take everythingfrom cash to nickels anddimes. The thing is, theyadd up, said Post 9869Commander Gary Mura-wski.

The nonprofit groupwill also accept tax-de-ductible donations of cars,recreational vehicles and

boats they can sell and putinto a building fund.

Typically, to make mo-ney, veterans sell poppiesoutside grocery storesand put out flags in frontof Raleys on DouglasBoulevard and AuburnFolsom Road for a dona-tion. The poppies aresymbolic: During WorldWar I, fallen soldiers were

buried right where theydied and upon theirgraves, bright red pop-pies grew.

VFW Post 9869 usuallymakes about $5,000

through thepoppies not quiteenough to fund an expen-

sive building project.Local veterans have

met for the past sixmonths out of a smalltrailer at the South PlacerFire Station No. 17 onEureka Road. Before that,they met for five years in amuch larger space in theshopping center on Dou-glas and Sierra Collegeboulevards.

But then Walmartmoved in, the center grewin popularity and a poolsupply business leased thespace where the veteransmet.

We had to give up oursuite, Grove said. Weunderstand that, becausebusiness is business.

VFW Post 9869 formedin 1994, and two years agoconsolidated with Orange-

vales post and acquiredtheir ladies auxiliary. Cur-rent members are fromGranite Bay, Citrus Heightsand Orangevale primarily,

out of 21,035 campuses and 67th in the state. PrincipalMike McGuire calls the recog-nition extraordinary.

This honor validates a com-munity who values public edu-cation and understands thatlearning wont stop after highschool. It validates world-classteaching and it validates dedi-cated, highly competent in-

structors, McGuire said. Thisis both gratifying and hum-bling.

Public schools with 12th-

grade enrollment and whatjudges considered sufficientdata from the 2010-11 academ-ic year were evaluated. Schoolsfrom 49 states and the Districtof Columbia were analyzed,and the top schools wereawarded gold, silver or bronzemedals. Nebraska was the onlystate that didnt report enoughdata to be included.

A three-step process wasused to determine the best

high schools. The first twosteps incorporated perform-ance on state proficiencyexams, and the third stepassessed the degree to whichschools prepare students forcollege-level work by usingAdvanced Placement or Inter-national Baccalaureate testscores.
