Popular downtown corner went from grocer to gift shop

ne of the oldest buildings in Lincoln is on the corner of 5th and G Streets (Now Highway 65/ Lincoln Boulevard). It was originally built by John Ziegenbein, a Wells Fargo agent, in 1863 as a grocery and general store. In 1888, it was bought by Fleming and Hemphill and remains in the Fleming family today. The building currently houses The Carrousel Cottage. The building served as the Bank of Lincoln from 1902-1911. Since then, it has served as several grocery stores, insurance, hardware, art gallery and now, a gift shop.

Stucco was applied to the outside in the 1930s to preserve the brick and then restored to brick in the 1990s. Interior restoration occurred in 2009. There is an original, 12foot, bi-fold, metal door on the 5th street side that can still be opened up.

House and home how the industry affects you personally T

his month, were going to talk about housing, your housing, and specifically your home. We define this narrowly here to draw a distinction from the oft-discussed topic of real estate, a more general category which has dominated the news over the past few years as prices cratered and the economy slumped.
Paul Apfel Personal Finances

Real estate comes in many forms

Real estate in its broadest terms has several subgroupings, most of which are of little or no direct interest to the general public. Commercial real estate includes shopping centers, office buildings, industrial parks and the like. Big business certainly and one that commands headlines when a major complex changes

hands or undergoes some dramatic transformation. But direct impact on our personal pocketbooks? Not much. Real estate investment trusts, involvement in syndicates and buying deeds of trust are complex investment vehicles of primary interest to investors. They need not concern us when discussing your home as shelter.

principal residences as piggy banks that they could refinance often, drawing cash out each time to pay for other obligations or attaching seconds or home equity lines of credit to that home which they could tap to pay for home essentials or discretionary purchases. According to several authorities, those days are over!

made some unfortunate or less than stellar decisions in the past, learn from the experience and start rebuilding your credit life.

Renting a reasonable alternative

One way to do this is to rent rather than buy while you rebuild. Think of it. Home ownership can be expensive. And, if youre strapped for cash to make ends meet, the last event you need is a broken appliance that must be repaired or replaced. Let the owner of the property or apartment handle it while you rebuild a flagging bank account. I recently had lunch with a young sports physician who just moved here and is establishing his practice. He is also engaged to be married. When I mentioned housing, he was quick to note

that he will rent for the foreseeable future as he pays off student loans and funds various start-up expenses while simultaneously building his bank account and financial reserves. Thats a sound financial plan.

Buying a home if you have the funds

But home ownership is still an option if you have the cash to front the loan. Mortgage interest rates continue to fill the lending marketplace with historic low rates. But down payments can be daunting. Dont have the cash down payment? How about intra-family loans? Although these can be tricky and the IRS does watch them carefully to ensure that appropriate interest rates are charged, a competent financial professional can steer

Lessons learned
So what have we learned? First, your home is shelter. It is not an investment. Do not threaten it with more debt than you can afford to pay back. And, if you lost your home or homes through foreclosure or similar actions by various lenders, that does not mean you are a bad or irresponsible person. Although you may have

The home is not a bank

But heres something many have disregarded over the real estate boom years. Too many homeowners considered their

readers in the right direction. Individual home ownership remains the goal and dream of many. And Americans have been encouraged for several years to achieve that with various incentives, not the least of which are the tax incentives available through the U.S. tax code. But readers would be wise to remember that the encouragement in all its forms does not bestow an entitlement or right. So choose your housing according to your individual needs and capability. Im reminded of a TV advertisement several years ago that pitched a simple notion regarding borrowing money. The essence of the ad was first you have to ask for the loan; then you have to pay it back. Simple but effective.

DR. THOMAS MORROW
SPECIAL TO INSIDE LINCOLN

PET COLUMN
misunderstandings about this virus, how it is spread and how to prevent it. We must assume all public areas are contaminated, parks, schools, front yards, anywhere dogs are found. Virus is shed in the stool for about the first two weeks after the initial infection. Only a tiny portion of infected stool (which could be months-old depending on the environmental temperature and humidity) is needed to infect a susceptible dog. Some dogs become what is called sub-clinically infected which means they do not appear particularly sick. These animals tend not to be confined since no one knows they are infected;

ost pet owners are aware of how dangerous parvovirus can be to their pets. You may not realize, due to changes in temperature, that fall and spring are the most active time of year. Coupled with the change in weather and the fact that most puppies are born in spring, we are approaching the most contagious time of year. Parvovirus infection must be considered as a possible diagnosis in any young dog with vomiting and/or diarrhea. The diagnosis is made by a simple test that takes just 10 minutes. With proper hospitalization, survival rates approach 80 percent. Still, there are many myths and
$

thus, they can spread virus around a large area, depending on where they leave their droppings. Although parvovirus is unfortunately often fatal, there are treatments available. In addition to antibiotics, fluid therapy and nausea control, all treatment for infection centers on supportive

care. This means that the clinical problems that come up in the course of the infection are addressed individually with the goal of keeping the patient alive long enough for an immune response to generate. We do not have effective antiviral drugs for this dis-

ease and must rely on the patients immune system for cure. The best way to keep your pets from getting parvovirus is restricting them from public outdoor areas until their vaccination series is completed at age 16 weeks. They need a booster every three weeks starting at 6

to 8 weeks of age. Although the infection mostly affects young dogs, adults should be boostered yearly. Proper and timely vaccination is very effective.

Ageless beauty in an olive tree

100-year-old transplants add character to modern landscapes
BY GLORIA YOUNG
GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE

PHILIP WOOD GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE

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

ometimes it takes something old to bring new landscaping to life. Planting century-old olive trees at a home in Granite Bay created that transformation. It changed it from a big house sitting on a lot with more modern landscaping into a feeling like you are actually in Tuscany like you are in an Old World house, Dave Bushnell, owner of Bushnell Gardens Nursery, said recently. The trees, taken from an orchard near Corning, have a uniqueness that develops only through

long years of growth and weathering. There are several things that make the trees special. First, it is the variety of the olives we brought in, Bushnell said. The Sevillano is the queen olive. Its the very large one. It has less fruit and larger fruit. (The trees) are more disease resistant. The trunks tend to be very gnarled. Thats that old-man tree trunk we all love. It has the deep cracks and crevices. The older the tree gets, the more gnarled the trunk becomes. The trunk is what is of great care and value. People buy the old ones because of the char-

acter and trunk. The nursery has a 100plus-year-old and 40-yearold Sevillano on display, as well a 25-year-old Ascolano. At 40 years, you get significant architecture, Bushnell said. Thats why we have (both). You can see the difference in the architecture of the (older) tree. Its bigger, thicker, more gnarled and more substantial. The Ascolano variety has a smoother trunk, olive green leaves and its fruit is used to produce oil and dried olives. The 25year-old trees will also create a special look in the yard.

Theyre more affordable because they are lighter in weight, dont have as big and heavy a root ball and can be handled by more standardized equipment, Bushnell said. They are a more reasonable solution for someone who wants to line a driveway. The older, much larger Sevillanos require special equipment for delivery and installation. A 100plus-year-old tree weighs more than 12,000 pounds and a 40-year-old averages more than 8,000 pounds. Its a feature in the landscape, he said. It can change the whole atmosphere of the yard. People build fountains, they do retaining walls, masonry courtyard walls, arbors and trellises. An olive tree is an even larger statement than those other features.

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

But proper placement is essential. 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, he said. The spot has to be horticulturally correct for the tree to be healthy and live. 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. A transplanted 100year-old olive tree still has plenty of years left. I have a photo of an olive tree thats 2,300 years old, he said. Cost of the trees ranges from $2,000 at the bottom end to as much as $6,000. That doesnt include delivery and planting. Homeowners looking to add older trees have other options as well. Japanese maples, although more

delicate, can be another long-living variety. They get a lot of character and a lot of beautifully twisting branches

particularly the lace leaf ones, said Laurie Meyerpeter at Lakes Nursery in Newcastle. They are the ones that are moved

because they arent quite as large. Bushnell is seeing a developing trend for the old olive trees and its a popularity thats likely to grow. He recently brought in one for an edition of the DIY television series, Yard Crashers, filmed at a home in Newcastle. The show will air in July. It may be the most exciting thing in the show, he said.

Get the dirt on gardening your growing starts in the soil A

successful garden is all about the soil, and once you have a handle on your soil you can get anything to grow. Most people will start their gardening projects by shopping for the plants. Then they take them home and decide where to plant them. Then they dig a hole, drop it in and pray it grows. When they fail they just say ohI must not have a green thumb!! I cant grow anything. Well, if you have ever said or thought this then I hope you finish reading this article. In order for soil to be healthy it needs decomposing material and soil microorganisms. For soil

organisms to increase and thrive in your garden soil you need to provide food and a healthy environment. The food can be provided with organic matter, and the best way a gardener can provide organic matter is in the form of compost. Microorganisms are just as beneficial in your garden as it is in your digestive system. A really good garden will have lots

For beautiful, healthy flowers, make sure you add plenty of compost to your soil.
of these little microorganisms growing and thriving. This living-soil-life helps keep your soil healthy, aid in decomposing organic matter, and

replenish soil nutrients. These microorganisms include bacteria and fungi. Soil bacteria are responsible for breaking down organic material and transforming nutrients within a plants roots. One of the most important functions of soil bacteria is converting nitrogen into a form that plants can use. Fungi help digest organic material into nutrients that plants can use as well. Fungi can make phosphorus soluble so the plants can take in the nutrients and use it for root development. Some of these fungi grow on the surface of plant roots while others actual-

ly live inside plant root cells. Fungi need air to live. They will have a hard time surviving in soil that is compacted or waterlogged. By adding compost you will keep your soil from getting compacted and waterlogged allowing these microorganisms to live happily ever after. This may be more of a science lesson then you had really wanted. The point I am trying to make is your growing starts in the soil! If you are growing healthy bacteria and fungi in your soil with the yummy nutrient rich compost you added then you will have a BEAUTIFUL garden. One

more important fact I need to tell youyou must use organic fertilizers to help keep your soil healthy. Most synthetic fertilizers will kill or harm that bacteria/fungi garden you have cultivated. So, before you run out and buy all the beautiful spring flowers and tasty veggies buy some compost and mix it in to your native soil. Use more than you think you will need more is always better. I promise you will see a huge difference in your garden this year.

Break out your gardening gloves, its time to get dirty

BY PAUL APFEL
INSIDE LINCOLN CORRESPONDENT

HOME MAINTENANCE SERIES

past few weeks has been steer manure followed by PVC pipe. This also serves as a wakeup for homeowners with installed standard and drip irrigation systems. Although you have likely had the systems off during the rains, you need to turn them on to test the system. Drip irrigation systems, which may have been unused during the winter months, can be particularly prone to problems when theyre first turned on. Manifold lines that have been exposed to the sun may have deteriorated and need to be checked. And those small openings on your drip emitters can be home to a variety of critters seeking shelter over the winter. It doesnt take much to plug one of those openings. You should ream out the openings or cut off the emitters and replace them. With the March storms, you should have had an opportunity to see where your runoff water was puddling. No puddles? Good for you. That likely means your drainage hoses and French drains are working properly. But small unwanted ponds on your property could suggest the need for more drain hoses and pots. If youre been in your home long enough to enjoy the new trees you planted a few years ago, you may find that the roots have compromised some of your drains.

Drains and screens are a helpful combination

Mosquitoes love standing water and water stands in those drain pots. Heres a hint at how to control the pests. Go to your hardware store and purchase some mosquito doughnuts to place in your drain pots. After depositing the doughnuts, wrap the bottom opening of the drain cover with a screen mesh and insert both in the drain pot opening. This keeps any larvae in the pot and also prevents mosquitoes and other flying critters from entering the moist and dark surroundings to reproduce.

his is a magic time of year in South Placer County and in Lincoln. Flowers are blooming and fields and gardens are just screaming to be planted. But this is also the time to be getting to work to prepare the fields and gardens for the bounty to come. Nothing spells this out as graphically as those signs advertising steer manure and other soil amendments. Thats our clarion call to roll up the sleeves and start digging.

them cleaned this year. Be cautious when climbing that ladder or scrambling about the roof. This is not for the timid, infirm or clumsy. Ask a professional to do the job for you.

Dont forget the painting

Finally, a note about planning any paint jobs. Painting contractor Dave Cearlock tells us that wood can dry out in as little as three days as the weather warms. So check your exteriors for signs that wood has been weathering excessively. Signs to look for include the paint or wood is cracking or clearly defined cracks in the wood or stucco. Spring is a wonderful time in Lincoln, even if it does call for a bit of manual labor to maintain the mansion!

Get ready for irrigation

And for those with acreage to tend, the race is on to repair the irrigation pipes and hoses. Local hardware store staff tells us that their biggest seller in the

Real estate hows the market these days?

Short sales, HARP 2 financing, and choosing the right office
BY ROB WOLF
SPECIAL TO INSIDE LINCOLN

You can buy after a short sale! Wondering how long? On a conventional, two years from date sale closed and transferred to new owner or transferred back to the bank may be possible with acceptable extenuating circumstances and 10 percent down payment. For FHA (3.5 percent down payment or more), there is no waiting period if the borrower had no

late payments on mortgages and consumer debts within a 12-month period preceding the short sale and borrower is not taking advantage of declining market conditions. Subject property may not be in the same geographic region. Or, for FHA, it is possible three years from date sale closed and transferred to new owner. For VA, two years from date sale closed and transferred to new owner. Details are starting to come out about the HARP 2 program and how you can refinance your home

even if you are underwater. There are even programs for people who are current on their mortgages and not in default. Make sure to choose the right real estate office with lots of agents and experienced ones. Inventories are declining so it will give you access to properties that might not have gone on the MLS yet, giving you a head start on better choices.
