 SUMMER’S HERE: PROCEED
Lauren
STORY BY
Weber
ummertime is here. It’s a
S time also known as three
months full of neighbor-
hood barbecues, pool parties
and family vacations. But the
warmer weather, longer days
and rainless months also
attracts a few, less than fun,
realities.
The heat in our area often
packs a three-digit punch,
water-related injuries rise,
smoky blazes are common and
summer vacations can make
for prime time for burglaries
as well.
But, fortunately all it takes
is a little preparation and
awareness to avoid some of
the summertime concerns to
stay safe all season long.
■ Dodge the blaze
The biggest danger to the
community is wildfire,
according to South Placer
Fire Chief Tony Corado who
said prevention is key.
“It’s very unlikely that a
home would have a fire with-
out human intervention,” he
added – intentional or not.
Surprisingly, one common
yard maintenance task is a fre-
quent fire starter. During hot,
windy days, dry weeds can
catch fire from the lawn
mower exhaust.
It’s not that easy to escape
the lawn-mowing chore, how-
ever. The best advice South

Richardson has to prevent
weeds turning to flames is to
manage vegetation and move
mowing up on the to-do list
before 11 a.m.
In other words, “the calmer
the better,” Richardson said.
In the event that a large fire
does occur, avoid the area and
don’t attempt to contain the
fire, experts advise.
Instead, grab the nearest
phone and call 911 from a
landline or (530) 823-4411
from a cell phone to reach the
Placer County fire and sheriff
department directly.
By dialing 911 from a cel-
lular, the call reaches
California Highway Patrol,
which then gets directed to the
local station. By dialing the
seven-digit number instead it
saves at least two minutes and
up to as many as 10 in
response time. And every
minute counts in an emer-
gency.
Pre-emergency steps can be
taken that can also speed up
the response time for the fire
department.
Make sure the house
address numbers are clearly
marked and visible from the
street. The mailman knows the
address because he makes a
stop everyday, but emergency
vehicles may not, Corado said.
Also, keep the driveway
free from overgrown trees and
bushes – a fire engine needs
more clearance than the aver-
age car – and be sure to keep
the fire hydrant clear.
With a practiced evacuation
plan, people can shed minutes
WITH CAUTION
off getting out of a fire-
encased house. Making a plan
with the family, a place to
locate outside the house and
practicing the plan, is key.
If someone is trapped
inside on a second or above
story, Corado advises people
to open the windows and
make as much noise as possi-
ble. It lets neighbors, onlook-
ers, and the fire department
know someone is there.
“Make the firefighters
aware that the action needs to
be done first,” Corado said.
“Our business is built on
speed.”
Fire extinguishers are also
important must-haves for
keeping a home safe. Corado
recommends the 2A10BC
model and said his extinguish-
er is conveniently located out-
side the door leading to the
garage. The only prerequisite
for fire extinguisher placement
is to keep it in an easily acces-
sible location and where
everyone in the house knows
its placement.

D summer. The Granite

Bay View offers these
10 summer safety reminders
that’ll keep you protected and
ensure a season of fun in the
sun.
■ 1 WATER SAFETY
One of the most popular
activities during a Granite Bay
summer is swimming, be it in
a pool, at the lake or down at
the river. But if you don’t
know what you’re doing, it can
also be one of the most dan-
gerous.
Learning to swim and stay-
ing safe around the water is
very important. And locals
don’t have to travel far to do
so.
Sea Otter Swim Lessons in
Loomis offers classes year
round for children as young as
4 months old to adults up to
90. (www.seaotterswim.com)
The Placer Aquatics Club is
another way to go. Lessons
feature low instructor-to-child
ratios ranging from parent-tot
style lessons to competitive
stroke instruction at Granite
Bay High School. (www.plac-
eraquaticsclub.org)
Before you know how to
swim, remember to wear a
lifejacket or floating device
whenever you’re around water.
■ 2 BOATING SAFETY

tion, wave

California
Department
of Boating
and Waterways
(www.dbw.ca.gov)
offers boat safety
classes in good sea-
manship and reviews
the recommended
equipment small
boats should have.
■ 3 SUN SAFETY
The weather is warm and
outside activities are abundant,
but whether it’s hiking, pic-
nicking or gardening, remem-
ber to protect yourself from
the sun.
According to Kelley
Moreno, CEO of Spwipes, a
Loomis-based company that
makes sun protection wipes,
melanoma is the fastest grow-
ing cancer in the United States
that can be prevented.
(www.spwipes.com)
To protect yourself from the
sun’s harmful rays, she recom-
mends staying in the shade
whenever possible, wearing
UV protective glasses and a
hat with a 3-inch brim and
sun. The American
Red Cross
reminds those
heading out-
doors to pack
extra water,
wear light-
weight, light-
colored cloth-
ing, bring an umbrel-
la or hat to shade the
sun and avoid strenu-
ous activities, espe-
cially during the
hottest part of the
day. If it’s necessary,
demanding work
should be done dur-
ing the coolest
part of the day,
usually between
4 and 7 a.m.
■ 5 MOSQUITOES/BUG
SAFETY
Protecting yourself from
bugs and the diseases they
carry is another must-do.
Placer County’s Health and
Human Services recommends
staying inside at dusk and
dawn when mosquitoes are
most prevalent. If that’s not an
option, use a bug repellent
with DEET, wear long sleeve
shirts and pants when out-
doors and stay away from any
standing water where bugs and
mosquitoes breed.
■ 6 FOOD SAFETY
Summer is the time for pic-
nics, barbecues and cookouts.
Burgers, potato salad and
sandwiches are common
treats, but they must be stored
properly. Food should not be
left out in the heat for more
than an hour on 90-degree and
above days and anything with
mayonnaise should never be
left in the sun for too long.
Also, make sure all guests
wash their hands before eat-
ing.
■ 7 HIKING/CAMPING
SAFETY
Folsom Lake, the American
River and the foothills offer an
when
exploring.
The
American
Red Cross
says it’s
always
safer to
hike or
camp with
at least one
other per-
son. That
way, if
someone gets hurt, the other
person can go for help. An
itinerary should also always be
left with a responsible person
back home.
A summer hiking/camping
checklist should include a
compass, first-aid kit, map of
the area, pocketknife and
whistle used to scare off any
wild animals.
■ 8 FIRE SAFETY
Fire safety is another hot
topic this time of year. When
outdoors, always know the
burning regulations before
making a campfire. At home,
the South Placer Fire District
reminds residents to protect
their properties by maintaining
100 feet of defensible space
around the home. If a fire is to
break out nearby, this space
will prevent it from spreading
to a structure.
■ 9 CAR SAFETY
It’s hot outside, but don’t be
confused – a car does not
make for a cool place to stay
out of the sun. Children and
pets should never be left in a
car for long. According to the
Roseville Dog Owners’ Group,
even on a mild day – 75 to 80
degrees – the temperature
inside a car can quickly rise
up to 130 degrees. This can
cause heat stroke and even
death in humans and their
canine friends.
■ 10 VACATION SAFETY
Taking a family trip this
summer? While this might
make for a carefree break,
don’t be careless. KidSource
online reminds parents of
small children to check out the
place they’re staying to ensure
it’s kid-friendly.
Parents should pay attention
to windows and doors and
check for proper hand and
guardrails along stairways and
decks. Also, inspect patios,
decks and porches for exposed
nails and other dangerous
items. And always look for
household cleaners and other
potentially dangerous chemi-
cals in an unlocked cabinet or
closet.

 WHAT WAS ONCE MERELY DANGEROUS IS NOW ILLEGAL
CELL PHONE LAW KICKS IN THIS MONTH
Eileen
STORY BY
Wilson
efore July 1 talking on a
B cell phone while driving a
car was considered by
many as dangerous. Today it is
illegal.
Enter new law, Senate Bill
No. 33, which took effect a few
days ago.
The new law states it is ille-
gal for any person to use a hand-
held phone while driving a
motor vehicle, and for people 18
years old and under, it’s against
the law to use any type of phone
or electronic device, hands-free
or otherwise, while driving.
Violating the law will result
in a $20 fine for the first
offense, and $50 for each subse-
quent offense, with possible
exceptions for drivers who use a
cell phone in an emergency situ-
ation.
■ Let the driver beware
According to Kelly Baraga,
California Highway Patrol offi-
cer in the Auburn area, the new
law has been well publicized.
“We have been educating
www.granitebayview.com
people on this law for the last
year and a half. We will be cit-
ing people July 1,” she said.
Baraga saw plenty of young
drivers leaving Granite Bay
High School talking on the
phone before school let out last
month.
“There’s still a lot of distrac-
tion associated with cell
phone use, even hands-
free,” she said.“But
with hands-free,
you will at least
see drivers
using both
hands on the
wheel, not fumbling
for a dropped phone.”
The bottom line is,
if the highway patrol
sees someone talking on a hand-
held device, whether they are
young or old, the driver can
expect to be pulled over and
ticketed.
■ The numbers don’t lie
According to a study in
Perth, Australia in 2006, as
reported by the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety, the
crash risk is four times greater
when a driver is using either a
hand-held or hands-free cell
phone. And the number of teen
crashes involving cell phones
was disproportionately higher
than those of adults.
Dick Tufts, a tow truck driver
in El Dorado County, sees
his share of
auto acci-
dents.
Unfortunately between eight to
10 a week.
He shakes his head in dismay
while sharing what he sees on
the highway.
“I see people text messaging
while driving down the road, or
reading while driving, women
putting on makeup,” he said.
Distractions, he complains,
are the biggest cause of acci-
dents.
Tufts, who has been using a
hands-free device for about two
years, thinks enforcement of the
new law is key.
“Enforcement is going to be
tough. I personally think the
penalties should be really exces-
sive,” he said.
He points out the seatbelt
law, which has been on the
books for several years, car-
ries an expensive penalty, yet
he still sees drivers and pas-
sengers who don’t buckle
up.
■ Giving up
hand-held cell
phones will
take some
adjustment
Area resi-
dents have had
over a year to
prepare for the new law.
Granite Bay resident Vanda
Borders is ready.
“ I started using a blue tooth
ear piece six to nine months
ago,” she said. As far as the kids,
our family rule has been no
electronics while driving. We
think it is safer that way for
everyone.”
■ Another frequent cause
of accidents are worn or
improperly inflated tires.
Phil Burch, assistant manager
for America’s Tires on North
Sunrise Boulevard in Roseville,
explains that car owners should
have their tires checked on a
regular basis.
“Tires aid in breaking, so if
you have a worn tire, it takes
you longer to break,” he
explains.
Proper traction, which dimin-
ishes as a tire becomes worn, is
important when making lane
changes and moving in and out
of traffic safely.
“Air inflation is important
too,” he said, describing how
heat may build in an improperly
inflated tire and cause a blow
out, not to mention, more wear
on the tire.
Burch recommends checking
air pressure monthly, as well as
examining each tire for signs of
wear, nails or other damaging
objects.
There are many ways to be
safe on the road, and they take
little effort.
“If people just used their
heads, that would be better than
any law,” Tufts said. “One
instant of inattention can change
your life or somebody else’s,
forever – I’ve seen it happen.”

 BEWARE OF SUMMER’S HEAT
ere it is: summer again!
H Blue skies and sunshine
lure many of us exercis-
ers outdoors to take advantage of
our beautiful California weather.
But along with the beautiful
sunny weather comes a possible
threat to exercise enthusiasts
with heat-related illnesses.
The most common heat ill-
ness is heat exhaustion, which is
basically a more advanced level
of dehydration. Heat exhaustion
can be caused by lack of fluid
intake and/or prolonged expo-
sure to a hot environment while
exercising.
Here are some points to
remember to help you keep
hydrated, safe and feeling great
during the summer months:
■ The No.1 preventative
action to keep your body from
over heating is to make sure it is
well supplied with coolant or
water. That means drinking
water before and during exercise.
If you’re exercising longer than
45 minutes you might need a
sports drink to replace lost elec-
trolytes (sodium, potassium,
etc.).
■ Remember caffinated
products, as well as alcoholic
beverages do not hydrate. They
actually cause dehydration.
■ Certain medications can
also increase your risk for heat
illnesses (consult with your doc-
tor to find out which medica-
tions).
■ Wear clothing that allows
your body to breathe.
■ Plan your workout for
early in the day or in the evening
if possible.
■ Give your body time to
KEEP DOGS SAFE DURING SUMMER
any of us enjoy the
M freedom offered when
we take our dog for a
romp around the dog park.
There are, however, many
risks at dog parks. Every dog
owner should take precautions to
protect their dog from harm.
Your dog’s vaccinations
should be current.
Heavy play with dogs of all
sizes can result in sore muscles,
strains, sprains and lacerations.
A first aid kit designed especial-
ly for your dog may provide
immediate comfort until medical
aid is available. If you sense that
one of the dogs present at the
park is acting aggressively
toward your dog, you need to
discuss the situation with the
other dog’s owner or opt to leave
the park for the day.
Summers are hot here and
overheating is common while

acclimate to exercising in hot
weather, start with short exercise
sessions.
In addition to knowing how
to prevent heat exhaustion you
should also learn how to recog-
nize the signs of heat illness and
how to treat it so that it doesn’t
progress into a more serious ill-
ness such as heat stoke.
The following are the most
common signs of heat exhaus-
tion.
■ Dizziness
■ Light-headedness
■ Headache
■ Fatigue (out of the ordi-
nary)
■ Nausea/vomiting
■ Muscle cramps
If you experience any of the
above symptoms:
Stop exercising, get out of
the sun, move to a cooler area
and drink cool fluids. If you
have cool wet towels available
they will help to cool you off.
And last but not least, make
fitness a part of your lifestyle.
Exercise strong, smart and
steady.

 COFFEE LOVERS GET BOOST FROM EL SALVADOR
Susan
STORY BY

Belknap
or anyone who has visited

F a local grocery store lately,

a noticeable rise in prices
down almost every aisle is
apparent.
But for local coffee aficiona-
dos the news isn’t all bad. A new
company in town not only is sat-
isfying those looking for a caf-
feine fix, but proceeds of these
bags of java are supporting those
in need.
The story of this coffee began
two years ago when Granite Bay
residents Mary and Joe Bruno
were visiting relatives in El
Salvador in Central America.
“We met a very poor family
living in the mountains above El
Salvador in a one-room structure
with dirt floors,” Joe said. “The
man of the house, Chepe, works
in the city, which is a four-hour
bus ride from his home.”
Joe and Mary met Chepe
Gomez, while he was doing
some yard work for the Bruno’s
relatives.
“We were introduced to
Chepe’s two young daughters
and my wife just fell in love with
them,” Joe said. “She felt so
sorry for them. They are so
poor.”
Joe said after a lengthy con-
versation with Chepe, a relation-
ship was formed and Mary and
Joe were given permission by
Chepe to take his two girls,
Carolina, 8, and Monica, 7, on a
shopping excursion to the city.
“The girls had a great time,”
Mary said. “We took them to
Wendy’s to eat, we bought them
beds and clothes and gave them
enough money to eat for a
month.”
Joe said the visit to the city
was the first time the girls had
been off the mountain where
they were born. It was also the
first time the pair of sisters had
ever been in a car and their first
experience in a toy store.
But the Brunos’ hospitality
didn’t end with a shopping spree.
After a lengthy discussion with
their relatives, the Brunos came
up with an idea of how to contin-
ue to help Chepe and his family
lead a better life.
“We were told that coffee is
one of the main sources of
income for the country and we
ended up meeting several differ-
ent coffee growers,” Joe said.
The Brunos applied for a
business loan and recently began
a coffee company importing

green coffee beans from El
Salvador and selling the beans
here in the United States.
The company is called Santa
Ana Coffee, named after a small
town in El Salvador and Mary
has just began to market the
product at Denio’s Farmers
Market & Swap Meet where she
sets up a booth and shows up
each weekend to sell the coffee
for $6 per pound.
“I also will be selling the cof-
fee at the farmers’ markets in
Granite Bay and Roseville,” she
said. “I just wanted to do some-
thing to help. Being down there
has really inspired me,” she said.
“In this day and age, they should
all be able to get ahead.”
Mary admits she doesn’t
know how much money she can
make for Chepe and his family.
She intends to put as much effort
as she can selling the coffee at
the various local farmers’ mar-
kets and plans to travel to El
Salvador at least twice a year to
deliver her earnings to Chepe
and his family. If the coffee sell-
ing is a success she hopes to
expand her generosity to addi-
tional El Salvadorian families.

Ana Coffee, call 797-8779 or e-
