This month, weregoing to talk abouthousing, your hous-

ing, and specifically your

home.We define this narrowlyhere to draw a distinctionfrom the oft-discussedtopic of real estate, a moregeneral category whichhas dominated the newsover the past few years asprices cratered and theeconomy slumped.

Real estate comesin many forms

Real estate in its broad-est terms has several sub-groupings, most of whichare of little or no directinterest to the generalpublic.

Commercial real estateincludes shopping cen-ters, office buildings,industrial parks and thelike. Big business certain-ly and one that com-mands headlines when a

major complex changes

hands or undergoes somedramatic transformation.

But direct impact onour personal pocket-books? Not much. Realestate investment trusts,involvement in syndi-cates and buying deeds of

trust are complex invest-ment vehicles of primaryinterest to investors. Theyneed not concern us

when discussing yourhome as shelter.

The home isnot a bank

But heres somethingmany have disregardedover the real estate boom

years. Too many home-

owners considered their

principal residences aspiggy banks that theycould refinance often,drawing cash out each

time to pay for other obli-gations or attaching sec-onds or home equity linesof credit to that home

which they could tap topay for home essentials ordiscretionary purchases.

According to severalauthorities, those days areover!

Lessons learnedSo what have we

learned? First, your homeis shelter. It is not aninvestment. Do notthreaten it with more debtthan you can afford to payback.

And, if you lost yourhome or homes throughforeclosure or similaractions by variouslenders, that does notmean you are a bad orirresponsible person.

Although you may have

made some unfortunateor less than stellar deci-sions in the past, learnfrom the experience and

start rebuilding yourcredit life.

Renting a reasonablealternative

One way to do this is torent rather than buy while

you rebuild. Think of it.Home ownership can beexpensive. And, if yourestrapped for cash to makeends meet, the last event

you need is a broken

appliance that must berepaired or replaced. Letthe owner of the propertyor apartment handle it

while you rebuild a flag-ging bank account.

I recently had lunchwith a young sportsphysician who just movedhere and is establishinghis practice. He is alsoengaged to be married.

When I mentioned hous-

ing, he was quick to note

that he will rent for theforeseeable future as hepays off student loans andfunds various start-up

expenses while simulta-neously building his bankaccount and financialreserves. Thats a soundfinancial plan.

Buying a home if youhave the funds

But home ownership isstill an option if you havethe cash to front the loan.Mortgage interest ratescontinue to fill the lend-

ing marketplace with his-toric low rates. But downpayments can be daunt-ing.

Dont have the cashdown payment? Howabout intra-family loans?

Although these can betricky and the IRS does

watch them carefully toensure that appropriateinterest rates are charged,a competent financial

professional can steer

readers in the right direc-tion.

Individual home own-ership remains the goal

and dream of many.And Americans havebeen encouraged for sev-eral years to achieve that

with various incentives,not the least of which arethe tax incentives avail-able through the U.S. taxcode.

But readers would bewise to remember thatthe encouragement in allits forms does not bestow

an entitlement or right.So choose your housing

according to your individ-ual needs and capability.

Im reminded of a TVadvertisement several

years ago that pitched asimple notion regardingborrowing money. Theessence of the ad was first

you have to ask for theloan; then you have to payit back.

Simple but effective.

Most pet owners areaware of how dan-

gerous parvoviruscan be to their pets. Youmay not realize, due tochanges in temperature,that fall and spring are themost active time of year.

Coupled with thechange in weather andthe fact that most puppiesare born in spring, we areapproaching the mostcontagious time of year.

Parvovirus infection

must be considered as apossible diagnosis in any

young dog with vomitingand/or diarrhea. Thediagnosis is made by asimple test that takes just10 minutes.

With proper hospital-ization, survival ratesapproach 80 percent. Still,there are many myths and

misunderstandings aboutthis virus, how it is spread

and how to prevent it.We must assume allpublic areas are contami-nated, parks, schools,front yards, anywheredogs are found. Virus isshed in the stool for aboutthe first two weeks afterthe initial infection. Onlya tiny portion of infectedstool (which could bemonths-old dependingon the environmental

temperature and humidi-ty) is needed to infect asusceptible dog.

Some dogs becomewhat is called sub-clini-cally infected whichmeans they do not appearparticularly sick. Theseanimals tend not to beconfined since no oneknows they are infected;

thus, they can spreadvirus around a large area,depending on where theyleave their droppings.

Although parvovirus isunfortunately often fatal,there are treatmentsavailable. In addition toantibiotics, fluid therapyand nausea control, alltreatment for infectioncenters on supportive

care.This means that the

clinical problems thatcome up in the course of

the infection areaddressed individuallywith the goal of keepingthe patient alive longenough for an immuneresponse to generate. Wedo not have effectiveantiviral drugs for this dis-

ease and must rely on thepatients immune systemfor cure.

The best way to keep

your pets from gettingparvovirus is restrictingthem from public out-door areas until their vac-cination series is com-pleted at age 16 weeks.They need a booster everythree weeks starting at 6

to 8 weeks of age.Although the infectionmostly affects youngdogs, adults should be

boostered yearly. Properand timely vaccination isvery effective.

tercreekvet.com.

BY GLORIA YOUNG

GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE

Sometimes it takessomething old to bringnew landscaping to

life. Planting century-oldolive trees at a home inGranite Bay created thattransformation.

It changed it from a bighouse sitting on a lot withmore modern landscapinginto a feeling like you areactually in Tuscany like

you are in an Old World

house, Dave Bushnell,owner of Bushnell Gar-dens Nursery, said recent-ly.

The trees, taken from anorchard near Corning,have a uniqueness thatdevelops only through

long years of growth andweathering.

There are several thingsthat make the trees spe-cial.

First, it is the variety ofthe olives we brought in,Bushnell said. The Sevil-lano is the queen olive. Itsthe very large one. It hasless fruit and larger fruit.(The trees) are more dis-ease resistant. The trunkstend to be very gnarled.Thats that old-man tree

trunk we all love. It has thedeep cracks and crevices.The older the tree gets, themore gnarled the trunkbecomes. The trunk is

what is of great care andvalue. People buy the oldones because of the char-

acter and trunk.The nursery has a 100-

plus-year-old and 40-year-old Sevillano on display, as

well a 25-year-oldAscolano.

At 40 years, you get sig-nificant architecture,Bushnell said. Thats why

we have (both). You cansee the difference in thearchitecture of the (older)tree. Its bigger, thicker,more gnarled and moresubstantial.

The Ascolano varietyhas a smoother trunk,olive green leaves and itsfruit is used to produce oiland dried olives. The 25-

year-old trees will also cre-ate a special look in the

yard.

Ageless beauty in an olive tree100-year-old transplants add character to modern landscapes

PHILIP WOOD GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE

Transplanted olive trees, gnarled with weathering over 100-plus years in aCorning-area orchard, bring Old World charm and flavor to this newly con-structed Tuscan-style home.

Theyre more afford-able because they arelighter in weight, donthave as big and heavy aroot ball and can be han-dled by more standardizedequipment, Bushnellsaid. They are a more rea-sonable solution forsomeone who wants toline a driveway.

The older, much largerSevillanos require specialequipment for deliveryand installation. A 100-plus-year-old tree weighsmore than 12,000 poundsand a 40-year-old averagesmore than 8,000 pounds.

Its a feature in thelandscape, he said. It can

change the whole atmos-phere of the yard. Peo-ple build fountains, theydo retaining walls, mason-ry courtyard walls, arborsand trellises. An olive treeis an even larger statementthan those other features.

But proper placement isessential.

You really want tolocate this feature in theright spot and thats a sig-nificant part of getting

what you want out of thetree, he said. The spothas to be horticulturallycorrect for the tree to behealthy and live. You

wouldnt plant it in a wetarea. It needs a highmounted, dry area. You

wouldnt put it in the mid-dle of the lawn you dont

want excessive water. Andyou must consider thecommunity of other trees.

It must be in its own spaceand cant have the compe-tition of other trees andplants.

A transplanted 100-year-old olive tree still hasplenty of years left.

I have a photo of anolive tree thats 2,300 yearsold, he said.

Cost of the trees ranges

from $2,000 at the bottomend to as much as $6,000.That doesnt include deliv-ery and planting.

Homeowners looking toadd older trees have otheroptions as well. Japanesemaples, although more

delicate, can be anotherlong-living variety.

They get a lot of char-acter and a lot of beauti-fully twisting branches

particularly the lace leafones, said Laurie Meyer-peter at Lakes Nursery inNewcastle. They are theones that are moved

because they arent quiteas large.

Bushnell is seeing adeveloping trend for theold olive trees and its apopularity thats likely togrow. He recently broughtin one for an edition of theDIY television series,Yard Crashers, filmed ata home in Newcastle. Theshow will air in July.

It may be the mostexciting thing in theshow, he said.


You really want to locate this feature in the right spot and thats a significant part of

getting what you want out of the tree. You wouldnt plant it in a wet area. It needs a high

mounted, dry area. You wouldnt put it in the middle of the lawn you dont want

excessive water. And you must consider the community of other trees. It must be in its own

space and cant have the competition of other trees and plants.Dave Bushnell, owner of Bushnell Gardens Nursery in Granite Bay

Asuccessful garden isall about the soil, andonce you have a han-

dle on your soil you canget anything to grow.

Most people will starttheir gardening projectsby shopping for theplants. Then they takethem home and decide

where to plant them.Then they dig a hole, dropit in and pray it grows.

When they fail they justsay ohI must not havea green thumb!! I cantgrow anything.

Well, if you have eversaid or thought this then Ihope you finish readingthis article.

In order for soil to behealthy it needs decom-posing material and soilmicroorganisms. For soil

organisms to increase andthrive in your garden soil

you need to provide foodand a healthy environ-ment.

The food can be pro-vided with organic mat-ter, and the best way a

gardener can provideorganic matter is in theform of compost.

Microorganisms arejust as beneficial in yourgarden as it is in yourdigestive system. A reallygood garden will have lots

of these little microorgan-isms growing and thriv-ing. This living-soil-lifehelps keep your soilhealthy, aid in decompos-ing organic matter, and

replenish soil nutrients.These microorganisms

include bacteria and fun-gi. Soil bacteria areresponsible for breakingdown organic materialand transforming nutri-ents within a plants roots.One of the most impor-tant functions of soil bac-teria is converting nitro-gen into a form thatplants can use.

Fungi help digestorganic material intonutrients that plants canuse as well. Fungi can

make phosphorus solubleso the plants can take inthe nutrients and use itfor root development.Some of these fungi growon the surface of plantroots while others actual-

ly live inside plant rootcells. Fungi need air tolive. They will have a hardtime surviving in soil thatis compacted or water-logged.

By adding compost youwill keep your soil fromgetting compacted and

waterlogged allowingthese microorganisms tolive happily ever after.

This may be more of ascience lesson then youhad really wanted. Thepoint I am trying to makeis your growing starts in

the soil! If you are grow-ing healthy bacteria andfungi in your soil with the

yummy nutrient richcompost you added then you will have aBEAUTIFUL garden. One

more important fact Ineed to tell youyoumust use organic fertiliz-ers to help keep your soilhealthy. Most syntheticfertilizers will kill or harmthat bacteria/fungi gar-den you have cultivated.

So, before you run outand buy all the beautifulspring flowers and tastyveggies buy some com-post and mix it in to yournative soil. Use morethan you think you willneed more is alwaysbetter.

I promise you will see ahuge difference in yourgarden this year.

T

his is a magic time of yearin South Placer County andin Lincoln. Flowers are

blooming and fields and gar-dens are just screaming to beplanted.

But this is also the time to begetting to work to prepare thefields and gardens for the boun-ty to come. Nothing spells thisout as graphically as those signsadvertising steer manure andother soil amendments. Thatsour clarion call to roll up the

sleeves and start digging.

Get ready for irrigationAnd for those with acreage to

tend, the race is on to repair theirrigation pipes and hoses.Local hardware store staff tellsus that their biggest seller in the

past few weeks has been steermanure followed by PVC pipe.

This also serves as a wakeupfor homeowners with installedstandard and drip irrigationsystems. Although you havelikely had the systems off dur-ing the rains, you need to turnthem on to test the system. Dripirrigation systems, which mayhave been unused during the

winter months, can be particu-larly prone to problems when

theyre first turned on.Manifold lines that have beenexposed to the sun may havedeteriorated and need to bechecked. And those small open-ings on your drip emitters canbe home to a variety of crittersseeking shelter over the winter.

It doesnt take much to plug oneof those openings. You shouldream out the openings or cut offthe emitters and replace them.

With the March storms, youshould have had an opportuni-ty to see where your runoff

water was puddling. No pud-dles? Good for you.

That likely means yourdrainage hoses and Frenchdrains are working properly. Butsmall unwanted ponds on your

property could suggest theneed for more drain hoses andpots. If youre been in yourhome long enough to enjoy thenew trees you planted a few

years ago, you may find that theroots have compromised someof your drains.

Drains and screens are ahelpful combination

Mosquitoes love standingwater and water stands in thosedrain pots. Heres a hint at howto control the pests. Go to yourhardware store and purchasesome mosquito doughnuts toplace in your drain pots.

After depositing the dough-nuts, wrap the bottom openingof the drain cover with a screenmesh and insert both in thedrain pot opening. This keepsany larvae in the pot and alsoprevents mosquitoes and other

flying critters from entering themoist and dark surroundings toreproduce.

Gutters overflow?Shame for not having cleaned

them last fall. But, thats also aclear sign that you should have

them cleaned this year. Be cau-tious when climbing that ladderor scrambling about the roof.This is not for the timid, infirmor clumsy. Ask a professional todo the job for you.

Dont forget the paintingFinally, a note about planning

any paint jobs. Painting con-tractor Dave Cearlock tells usthat wood can dry out in as littleas three days as the weather

warms. So check your exteriorsfor signs that wood has been

weathering excessively. Signs to

look for include the paint orwood is cracking or clearlydefined cracks in the wood orstucco.

Spring is a wonderful time inLincoln, even if it does call for abit of manual labor to maintainthe mansion!

Or, for FHA, it is possi-ble three years from datesale closed and trans-ferred to new owner.

For VA, two years fromdate sale closed andtransferred to new owner.
