Fall fun at the pumpkin patch On the road in an RV Remembering favorite teachers
When I was invited to a gala last year honoring my former teacher and her husband, Marian and Ned Gault, it was amazing to see that this woman, who is now in her 90s, can still tango. The love she has for dancing and sharing it with her students was one of the many reasons I always have such fond memories of her and the year I spent with her while I was in third-grade.
ts fall and school has now been in session for about six weeks. Regardless of whether you have children in school, grown children or maybe no children at all, the beginning of the school year cant help but conjure up memories of your

school days. Growing up, I had two teachers who had a profound effect on my life. I always looked fondly on my third-grade year, so when one of my daughters
was in third grade, I decided to see if I could contact my former teacher, Marian Gault. With a little research, I was amazed to find that she and her husband still lived in the same house. I wrote her a letter (hoping she would remember me), telling her of the fond memories I had of her, how I loved the folk dancing she taught us and
how I never forgot her. She wrote back, weve kept in touch and our relationship continues to this day. Knowing my now 93-year-old former teacher is such a joy. The second teacher I remember so fondly was one who changed my life forever. Joe Browning was my high school photography teacher. As you

TEACHERS: Many Lincoln families have long histories with schools and teachers in the area
continued from 3 teachers. Having only lived in Lincoln for 12 years, I, sadly, will never know what its like to have that bond that so many Lincolnites have. It amazes me that there are generations of families who have gone through these wonderful schools. I appreciate (and am actually envious of) Lincoln residents long history of the schools, teachers and students. I would have loved to have gone to a school that my parents attended or have had the same teacher as one of my parents. I set out on a mission to find some stories about the history of Lincolns teachers and it made me smile when I heard that relationships intersected. One name that kept coming up over and over again is Mark Fowler, the former science teacher at Lincoln High School. Ive always known Fowler to be a popular teacher but this man has stood the test of time. Cindy Murphy, a 1978 graduate of Lincoln High School, said that he was her favorite teacher because of what he instilled in his students. He sincerely cared about the students, Murphy said. You also knew that he cared about nature and the world we live in. He encouraged all of us to do more than just go to school. Independently, I interviewed Murphys 29-year-old son, Mike. When asking the younger Murphy who some of his favorite teachers were, Fowler was the first teacher Mike Murphy mentioned. Mr. Fowler never took himself too seriously. He knew he had strengths and weaknesses and he didnt hide that, Mike Murphy said. His greatest strength was how he made every student feel like he was teaching directly to them. Lincoln is so rich in history and tradition that I thought it would be interesting to interview a teacher who is an alum-
Our teachers, even as far back as elementary school, help to shape the people we become. I always enjoyed how Marian Gault brought what she enjoyed doing into the classroom. My fellow classmates and I were taught international folk dances and we performed for the school - costumes and all.

nus of Lincolns schools. Sisters Mandy Retallack and Amy Aceto both went through the schools in town and are now teachers. Each sister said that they had excellent teachers in elementary school all the way through the high school and it was so difficult to choose just one.
Both sisters confirmed that they each had the joy of working alongside some of the teachers they had. It was intimidating but also kind of cool at the same time. I knew I could look upon them for advice and help along the way, Aceto said. Retallack has a unique per-
spective. She not only worked with a former teacher of hers but when Fowler was ready to retire, Retallack said, He supported me with lesson ideas, emotional support when things got rough and he prepared me to walk in his shoes as far as taking over his anatomy course, which I always wanted to teach and love teaching to this day. With Lincoln being a smaller town, many of Lincolns teachers often have the ability to see their former students, work alongside them and follow them into adulthood. I was fortunate because I had
the opportunity to tell my two favorite teachers what a profound effect they had on me. However, teachers so often go through their careers and never hear whether they have made a difference in a students life. Even if your favorite teacher is no longer living, take a minute to think about them and remind yourself of the reasons why they influenced you. If they are still living, do a little research online to see if you can find them. A phone call or a note will brighten their day and bring a smile to your heart.

When Bishop's first began baking pies, they were rolled out by hand. Today, the dough is still mixed by hand but laid out in each pan by automation. Juanita Long helps other Bishop's employees to create as many pies as possible, ahead of time. The demand is so great once Bishop's opens that the bakery can't keep up with all the orders.

always that way. According to cofounder Sandy Bishop, she and her husband were happy with one car in the parking lot the first year they were open. In 1973, Bishop, along with her husband, opened the farm that has grown to a place that attracts visitors from far
and wide. Since their doors opened 40 years ago, they have added a train, slides, restaurants, gift shops and two restroom facilities. Bishop proudly explained that the farm is still owned and operated by family, although, these days, its the couples son,

I call setting up the giftshop, The Bishop Workout," Ontiveros said. "Where else can you get paid and work out at the same time? Not only does the Bishop's staff work hard to create an environment for the fall pumpkin season, they also go the extra mile to put on special
events. Weddings are something that Bishop's can host. The apple orchard, 100-yearold barn and huge walnut trees are just a few backdrops that you could have for your rustic wedding. Going out to Bishops is always enjoyable and each visit is unique. However, what makes it so delightful to visit the wonderland that the Bishop family has created is the aura of fun, excitement and contentment. It is easy to see that the Bishops have fostered an environment in which it is fun to come to work and one where everyone-visitors and empoloyees-are treated like family.

The before (right) and after (above) photos of the Harps 1959 Traveleze Trailer are striking. Not a detail went unnoticed when they restored this trailer to its original 1959 condition.

Weve been in the business so long that the new rigs we used to work on in the beginning are now vintage.
Rachel Harp, co-owner of Harps RV Service
achel and Joel Harp own one of the latest businesses to grace our growing town. Harps RV Service, around for more than 40 years, recently moved to Lincoln. The business is now at 183 Flocchini Circle. As Rachel Harp put it, We are new to the neighborhood but not the trailer community. Rachel Harps mother began the business in 1969 but Rachel, Joel and their son now run the business. Weve been in the business so long that the new rigs we used to work on in the beginning are now vintage, Harp added. Over the years, the fam-
ily has done modifications on all sorts of vehicles. The largest trailer they worked on was a mobile AIDS clinic that was created from a Greyhound Bus chassis. Whether its working on SWAT vehicles for local police departments or 12foot trailers for an RV enthusiast, the Harps continue to love what they do. Rachel Harp travels all over the country to teach women how to maintain and work on their own RVs. To help educate women on maintaining their home on wheels, Harp also writes for RVing Women Magazine. In October, Sacramento will host a national convention for 2,000 to 3,000

s we all know, our palettes change over the years and what we may not have liked to eat as children can sometimes later become our favorites. Ive always loved vegetables but any form of squash was something I never really enjoyed. I dont remember being exposed to it much as a kid (mainly because I dont think my dad liked it) so it wasnt part of our dinner table. A few years ago, however, I was introduced to butternut squash and it is now one of my favorite vegetables.
This seasonal variety of squash tastes very similar to a sweet potato. One of my favorite ways to work with butternut squash is to cube or slice it like French fries and bake it. If you favor sweet potato fries but are watching your calories, its a great way to have some fries without all the added calories. A recipe I recently stumbled on is a cold Butternut Squash Salad. The beauty of this recipe is that if you dont like this variety of squash, you can substitute another or even use sweet potatoes. Additionally, incorporating another seasonal favorite, dried cranberries, adds wonderful texture as well as color.
Bake squash (peeled potatoes) in 375 degree oven for approximately 45 minutes or until almost tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Cut the squash (potatoes) into small chunks and then place into a large bowl. Add the celery, onion, parsley and cranberries, stirring carefully to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. Then carefully toss this oil mixture with the potato mixture before salting to taste. Top with some additional dried cranberries and sliced nuts.
Instead of a mundane green salad, why not add a splash of color, wonderful flavor and delightful textures to your next salad?

Preheat oven to 375. Remove skin from squash and cube the flesh. Cut squash into 2-inch chunks. Transfer to a cookie sheet and toss with oil and sage. Season generously with salt and pepper. Scatter garlic around squash. Roast until squash is tender, about 40 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Remove and discard skin from garlic. Transfer squash and garlic to a food processor. Puree, and with motor running, add half and half. Process until smooth. Add 1 to 2 cups water. Continue to process until smooth, adding water to thin if necessary. Season again generously with salt. (To freeze, see below). Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain pasta but reserve 1 cup pasta water. Once drained, return pasta to pot. Pour sauce over pasta and toss to coat. Add some pasta water to thin sauce if necessary. To freeze: Cool sauce to room temperature and pour in mason jars or freezer bags. Freeze up to three months.
Autumn meal planning can turn an ordinary pasta dish into something unusual. Butternut squash pasta sauce is easy to make, can be frozen once made, and is an excellent alternative to a basic marinara sauce.

fter a good real estate month in July, Californias housing market slowed slightly in August as mortgage rates started to move up and sales of mobile homes and condos increased. While single-family home prices and limited inventory prompted many buyers to look for other options, sales of condominiums and townhomes surged almost 8 percent from last August and are up nearly 5 percent year-to-
date compared to last year. On the local level, it seems that Placer County is doing much better economically with an employment rate of 7.75 percent. Manufacturing is up, median income

yield a higher price due to 17,000 Realtors and their clients being exposed to and being aware of it. It is a good idea to keep your property on the MLS for at least five to seven days before tendering offers for maximum effect. My recommendation for anyone thinking of buying or selling in any area is to set up a neighborhood search to know when properties come on the market, are pending or sell. This will let you see for yourself whats going on in an area. Any good Realtor can help you with this. Happy holidays and good shopping!

market. According to the California Association of Realtors, closed escrow sales of existing, singlefamily homes in California totaled a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 434,700 units in August. According to information collected, sales in August were down 2 percent from a revised 443,500 in July and down 1.9 percent from a revised 443,030 in August 2012. Home prices continued to appreciate in August, reaching prices not seen in more than five years. The statewide median price of an existing, single-family detached home was up 1.7 percent from Julys median price of $433,910 to reach $441,330 in August, the highest price recorded since December 2007. Augusts price was 28.4 percent higher than the revised $343,800 recorded in August 2012, marking a year and a half of annual price increases and the 14th straight month of double-digit annual gains. The median sales price is the point at which half of homes sold for more and half sold for less; it is influenced by the types of homes selling as well as a general change in values. Housing inventory levels are improving, especially in homes priced below $600,000. Yes, the number of properties on the market has been rising on a consistent basis this whole year and has reached the highest level since June 2012. As more properties come on the market with the holiday slowdown, home pricing increases are expected to level out as weve observed in the last few months. Because of our improving market, we are focused on helping those purchasing a home with the low interest rates and reasonable prices. It is also recommended that those who want to move up at this time and who need to sell an existing home to do so should use an experienced Realtor to guide them through the adventure. If you are selling, it is a proven fact that a homes exposure to the MLS can

you know that it may be too cold to be out in your garden a few weeks from now. If you are not sure what can be done in your yard in the fall, the following list should help get you pointed in the right direction. Some pruning and cutting back anything that grew too large can be done now. You dont want to prune too much on the shrubs and perennials that may be sensitive to
frost because they can use the extra foliage and branches as insulation in the winter. Just doing a light cleanup and trimming is perfect for this time of year. Fertilize! It is a great idea to fertilize all plants, trees, shrubs and fruit trees this time of year. However, it is best not to use a fertilizer with high nitrogen (the first number on your fertilizer). Look for a fertilizer such as 0-10-10. The last two

numbers on a fertilizer help promote root growth and development. We want to encourage root development because we are blessed with relatively mild winters where our soil doesnt freeze and that allows the roots of our plants to continue to grow all winter long. Transplant anything that has become too big or was planted in the wrong place. When the temperature drops, the plants we move will not suffer as much transplant shock. And since the soil stays warm, the newlytransplanted plants roots will continue to grow all winter. Feed the lawn with a fall and winter fertilizer. A good fertilizer will help keep your lawn nice and green, even in winter. When most of your neighbors lawns will look
brown, yours can be greener and healthier with a good fall and winter feeding. Plant bulbs such as tulips and daffodils. Plant wildflower and California poppy seed in November. The temperatures are low enough that the seed will not grow and will go dormant. However, all the winter rains will help them bloom beautifully in the spring. Plant fall veggies such as salad greens, onions, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, beets and carrots. Enjoy this beautiful weather before the winter rains come.
