Colorful gladiator sandals are in this summer, according to Sole Desire manager Earth Kentro. Heel heights, from flats to platforms, can make a bold statement or add polish to a neutral look. “They’re really industrial-looking, but feminine, and they’re nice with a long maxi-skirt,” says Kentro. “There’s way more color this season, than even last year: yellows, corals, tons of blues and turquoise too. It’s really fun.”

Add some colorful sparkle to your décolletage this summer with bright gemstones like lime green peridot, light blue topaz, and this season’s newest trend: Morganite. “For summer we have Morganite, which is a beautiful peachy-pink colored stone set in rose gold,” says Kenny G and Company manager Robert Hewitt. Fun bracelets, earrings, and fashion rings featuring light summery hues are the perfect way to polish off any look, casual or formal.

When the weather warms up, nothing tastes as good as a cool treat. Italian gelato is a tasty and healthier alternative to ice cream. Made with 80 percent milk and 20 percent cream, gelato has less fat than traditional ice cream, which comes in at a 50-50 mix. At Miabella Gelato, summer flavors are made in-store, fresh daily. “We use s’more flavor to kick off summer because it reminds everyone of camping,” says owner Alan Vail. “All of our fruits are seasonal so we start getting into melons, peaches, sometimes we do kiwi, watermelon, cantaloupe, stuff like that. It’s very popular.” 12


Men’s active-ware fashion this summer is all about keeping cool. From quick-dry, light-weight fabrics to convertible clothing, Orvis has a wide selection of clothing options to keep you fashionably comfortable. “All of the clothing in our Trout Bum line is made with a quick-dry fabric,” explains manager Charlie Robinton. “It’s a cool nylon-polyester blend that keeps you cool in the summer time when you’re out there in the sun. We’ve got a huge line of t-shirts, long sleeved shirts, and shorts. Another nice thing about all those fabrics is they’re easy to wash and they don’t really absorb sweat the way cotton does.” Trout Bum’s line of quick-dry and light-weight menswear, including this shirt, retailing at $89, comes in a variety of colors and styles, including this textured shirt that reduces the surface area touching the skin, allowing for more cooling air circulation.

Everyone knows better than to go without sunscreen protection for your skin, especially during sunny summer months. But when you’re out and about, don’t forget to protect your lovely locks. “Our sun care line is amazing,” says stylist Cristina Razumovsky. “Since a lot of people are going on vacation, and swimming, and are out in the sun, a lot of clients have it in their beach bags. They use it at the lake, after they’re done swimming.” Aveda’s line of sun care for your hair is a UV defense and recovery system is designed to protect against damaging rays, restore sun-exposed hair, and remove pool and product build up, to make sure your summer style stays fresh. Aveda’s sun care line helps protect and restore hair from the sun, salt, and chlorine. Sun care hair and body cleanser, retail price $21, is a two-in-one that removes chlorine, salt, and product build up. Sun care protective hair veil, retail price $28, is a water-resistant, UV defense mist that minimizes damage and dryness due to sun exposure. Sun care after-sun hair masque, retailing at $27, conditions and moisturizes sun-exposed hair.

he history of Frank Fat’s restaurant mirrors the history of Sacramento itself: Opened in 1939 by Chinese immigrant Dong “Frank” Sai-Fat in a former speak easy two blocks away from the State Capitol, Fat’s eventually became synonymous with political “power lunches” where landmark bills were worked out over plates of Honey Walnut Prawns, Frank’s style New York steak and banana cream pie. A far cry from his own humble beginnings, Fat immigrated to the United States in 1919, waiting tables, washing dishes and picking fruit before luck landed him the opportunity to open his own restaurant on L Street. Over 70 years later, the Fat family still presides over four area restaurants, making it Sacramento’s oldest eatery owned and operated by the

same family in the same location In 2000, the family grew to include Fat’s Asia Bistro and Dim Sum Bar in Roseville. With the expansion came changes to Frank Fat’s original authentic menu, balancing traditional Chinese dishes and American tastes. “It’s kind of a fusion of American-Chinese food,” explains Executive Chef Brian Griffin. “A lot of the things we do here are based off of old Chinese recipes, a majority of it is authentic-style, just with more Americanized ingredients.” Griffin, who started with the company a little over a year ago and now acts as Executive Chef in Roseville and Fol-

15


som, has brought his New York attitude and experience to the Fat family restaurants. Griffin is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park and he looks to infuse the menu with European inspiration.

“I’ve added a bit of French cuisine to what we do here, and that’s where some of our specials come from,” he says. “I’m trying to infuse the bistro-style into the Asian food, like seared duck breast and cinnamon-raspberry sauces. Traditional Chinese food is steamed or boiled. Instead of boiling it in water, I boil it in consume. It totally changes things and it’s just the way I create food.” Fat’s Roseville location, which has done brisk business since its opening 15 years ago, has been successful in adjusting its traditional roots to local clientele’s expectations, with the menu reflecting just such an eclectic mix of entrees. Dishes such as the Hong Kong Special Chow Mein feature crispy pan-fried noodles in lieu of more common soft noodles. Fat’s fusions also extend to other Asian influences, as in their selection of sushi rolls: Chicken cucumber, cashew salmon and their unique Iron Point roll. And, of course, the menu still fea-

16


tures those iconic entrees that have kept Fat’s in business for the past seven decades — In particular Fat’s famous Honey Walnut Prawns, lightly fried and glazed with honey sauce. “For being open for fifteen years, we’re doing great,” says Assistant General Manager Jessica Medrano. “We still have a wait on Fridays and Saturdays, and we have a wait on Tuesdays because of our $10 deals. It’s ten different items, and they’re $10 apiece. We have two appetizers on there, [seven different] entrees, and two glasses of wine that you can get for $10.” The restaurant’s ambiance too is a fusion of Asian influence and a more modern European bistro. Designed by BCV Architects of San Francisco, high-vaulted ceilings with post and beam structures inspired by ancient Asian temples, contemporary furnishings, and tropical palm trees, all evoke a contemporary feel alongside traditional Asian-inspired artwork. “We have wonderful ambiance, we have great staff, there’s a lot of heart in the building,” says Medrano. “I think that’s what people notice first, and then the food is amazing.”

ante Louis has made it his life’s work helping others. The executive director of Roseville Point Health and Wellness Center has over a decade’s worth of experience in the skilled nursing facility industry, caring for other when they need a need a rehabilitative helping hand. “It’s great to [see] the impact that we’ve had on someone’s life, that when they came in here they were down and when they left they were feeling stronger than ever before and were able to conquer those things that seemed so impossible a short while prior,” explains Louis. “Every now and then we all face hurdles and so we’re here to simply get you well, get you home, and get you to do those things that you were doing before, hopefully doing those things feeling stronger and better than ever before.” Louis got an early start in the business working, and wearing multiple hats, at his family’s care facility in Berkley. Dabbling in the business office, human resources, and activity programs, sometimes even playing the piano for residents during candlelight dinners, he got a well-rounded education in what it took to meet the needs of the business as well as the residents. “Being exposed to it at that level and having direct contact with the residents was a good way to enter the industry because it made me understand from their point of view, how they were seeking to benefit from their stay” he recalls. “I applied everything I’ve learned over the years to what we did here at Roseville Point to really target the needs of the residents.” When Louis came to Roseville Point nearly five years ago, he harnessed that experience, molding a two-star facility into an outstanding fivestar Medicare rating, pouring improvements into remodeling, for both

18

luxurious esthetic and functional purposes, including a new 4,000 square foot courtyard and hospital-grade beds. “I remember coming to the building, in its original state, it was completely different. It didn’t look like this, it didn’t feel like this,” he says. “We’ve poured in over a million dollars in physical improvements, quality of life improvements that had a huge ripple effect on the residents’ stay.” One of the most critical improvements that Roseville Point is currently undergoing is an upgrade from a skilled nursing facility (or SNF) to a sub-acute rehabilitation facility. What this means for the community is that within the next year patients will have a local facility able to meet their needs post-hospitalization, as well as a more seamless transition between different rehabilitation stages. “In Roseville there are no sub-acute facilities. In fact the closest sub-acute facility is 20 miles out,” he explains. “So we’ll be servicing that demographic, servicing that high-demand need in the community.” While Louis has plenty of professional experience in the healthcare industry, it was a family tragedy- his grandfather’s stroke- that gave him a different perspective of his patients’ needs, as well as the needs of their families. “That was an eye-opener for me. It made me see things differently,” he says. “There’s all these different facets of the industry that very few people have knowledge of unless you’ve spent time in the industry. That was around the same time as I initiated the concept to have an event that would bring together different resources, companies, products, and services to educate the communities that we serve on the different levels of care.”

Louis’ initiative was to host the first free Healthcare Vendor Fair & Expo, the purpose of which was to connect care providers, manufacturers, and non-profit organizations with potential patients, their families, and caregivers. “The bottom line is that every single one of us will come to a point in time where we’re facing our loved ones going through this scenario,” explains Louis. “Ultimately this event is not only for industry professionals, but people who want to learn more about the industry, like what is it all about? What does it entail? What kinds of companies really exist here locally in the region and what kind of services do they provide. It’s a proactive way of learning more about the industry.” The annual event, which will be held at the Sacramento Convention Center later this month featuring 130 companies representing rehabilitation and care facilities, registered dieticians, medical equipment providers, ambulance companies, even holistic healthcare, as well as many others, also helps connect industry professionals. “It’s grown to one of the largest healthcare industry networking event and trade show in northern California,” explains Louis. “It’s a collaborative effort to provide for the needs and services of the communities that we serve. We opened it up to families and to residents and it became a networking and awareness event.” Several non-profit organizations, such as the American Red Cross, the Keaton Raphael Memorial, and WEAVE will also be represented at the expo alongside the broad spectrum of other health services providers. “We wanted to bring together the many non-profit associations and organizations that exist regionally to give you that added benefit of those resources that are available locally,” explains Louis. “And it also allows them to spread awareness of their cause.” For Dante Louis, his career in healthcare has been gratifying, albeit not a trouble-free one. “I would say the fact that you can make a difference in someone’s life is to me is the biggest reward. The biggest setback to working in this industry is that mostly what you hear is negative feedback, with families stressed, and concerned, and constantly bringing up issues,” he admits. “Stress is huge. If you cannot cope with stress and learn to manage it and convert it to a solution, it’s daunting. To make a difference, you have to overcome all of those things.”

ayor Carol Garcia’s Roseville roots run deep. Her family ties go back five generations, back to 1849 when the Fiddyment family settled in the area of what is now Fiddyment and Baseline Roads. Garcia, an alumna of Roseville High School, Sierra College, and Sacramento State, has spent a lifetime giving back to the community that raised her. For the past 35 years she has helped Roseville businesses and families prosper through a career in community banking, raising over a million dollars in charitable funds, and serving as councilmember and mayor of her hometown. It was a stroke of luck that steered Garcia into the banking industry. Coming from a family of teachers, she had intended to follow in those footsteps until a friend convinced her to take a teller job at the Citizen’s Bank of Roseville. “I was very familiar with the bank because my Dad used to take me to that bank when I was little to do his banking. I took the job and moved up very quickly. I just loved it and never got back to teaching. Fast forward 35 years later and I’m still in community banking in Roseville,” says Garcia, who is currently Senior Vice President and Senior Relationship Manager at Community 1st Bank. “It’s been a great career. And my job, it gives me the latitude to get out and meet people, serve on boards, integrate into the community, and in that effort I worked a lot with the Roseville Chamber [of Commerce].” It was through such work at the bank, as well as through her service with the Rotary Club and other non-profit boards, that Garcia got involved with City Committees and Commissions in 1994. By 2007, she was appointed to a vacated seat on the City Council. Garcia was elected in 2008, and re-elected in 2012, serving as vice-mayor from 2012 to 2014, and was sworn in as mayor in December of last year. “I received benefit over the years growing up here, not only from businesses that I’ve worked with over the years in my banking world, but there’s lot of ties with the residents,” she explains. “It just seemed like

the next logical step to serve on the council and help on the local level. I really like serving on the council because it’s all about being able to solve challenges that our residents and businesses are having, to be able to help them at that level.” Garcia admits that it’s a delicate balancing act juggling a full time position at Community 1st Bank and her role as mayor, but that it’s a rewarding career that allows her to help people. “With my work at the bank, I’m helping small to medium size businesses solve their business problems. Especially with the downturn of the economy and the challenges businesses have had over the years, it’s the community banks that really step up by providing small business loans, working lines of credit to help them to be successful, and get back on their feet again. We’re just starting to climb out of this downturn, but it’s starting to get better.” In addition to her work as mayor and senior vice president with Community 1st Bank, Garcia also works with several local charitable organizations. She has been a member of the Rotary Club of Roseville since 1994, served on the Tommy Apostolos Fund board, and has been with the Leadership Roseville program, for the past 18 years. But the cause nearest and dearest to her heart is the Placer County Breast Cancer Endowment, the non-profit she formed in 2005. Since 2014, it has surpassed its goal of raising $1.5 million to endow a chair at the UC Davis for breast cancer research. Garcia, a breast cancer survivor herself, continues to work with the endowment to fund cancer research and education. After her current term as mayor ends, Garcia plans to take it easy, if that’s what can be said for maintaining a position as bank senior vice president, volunteer, and full-time grandmother. “At the end of 2016, I will have served the city for 10 years,” she explains. “I think it’s important that we give others the opportunity to step up and bring in new ideas for our city.”

or thousands of years, the Silk Road was the conduit through which life flowed throughout the known world. The network of trading routes spanned nearly 5,000 miles across Asia, Europe, and Africa, connecting ancient civilizations and allowing cultural exchanges to flourish among the Chinese, Greek, Roman, Indian, and Persian empires. And it’s this historical nexus that gave rise to Roseville businessman Payam Fardanesh’s wildly popular line of organic sodas. Formulated after his Iranian grandmother’s sekanjabin recipe, a sweet drink made with mint and vinegar, the flavors of Fardanesh’s beverages follow the Silk Road itself: Ginger mint for how the Greeks enjoyed it, pomegranate mint for its route through India, and cucumber mint for

how Fardanesh remembers it as a young boy in Tehran. “There were a lot of off-shoots of the Silk Road, (one of which) went through Tabriz, which is where my grandmother is from, and that’s where I got the name,” explains Fardanesh. “I thought of carbonating it and bringing it to market, and that’s basically what I did.” In addition to adding bubbles, Fardanesh also lowered sugar content of the traditionally syrupy sweet beverage. The product is unique in that it is a certified organic and preservative-free soda. “Each of the bottles has just six or seven ingredients, and they’re all organic,” Fardanesh explains. “Ninety-five percent of the content has to be organic for it to classify


it as USDA [certified organic] and they all are. It’s one of the only, if not the only, USDA certified organic carbonated beverage.” While American palates may initially balk at the idea of vinegar in their sodas, Fardanesh is quick to point out that it can be a beneficial addition to one’s diet. “It has vinegar in there, but it’s blended really nicely” he says. “I think people in America are starting to get that apple cider vinegar is good for you. There’s a full serving of apple cider vinegar in each drink.” What started out as an artisanal drink marketed to yoga moms and distributed out of Fardanesh’s car, is now well on its way to success. It’s getting plenty of industry and media recognition under its belt as well. Silk Road Soda has been featured in the San Francisco Chronicle and nationally on Oprah Winfrey’s website as one of 2014’s “foods you’re definitely going to want to try this year.” Silk Road Soda’s first bottling was in March of 2013, and as of June, they will have produced half a million bottles of their unique Mediterranean refresher. “In the beverage industry that’s not really high,” Fardanesh admits. “But it’s starting to show that the market would like it.” In 2014, the company was also recognized at the Fancy Foods Shows in New York and San Francisco. “We’ve won awards all over the country, including top organic product at the Fancy Food Show in Manhattan, where there’s over 4,000 venders, so it’s a big deal,” the local businessman points out. “We won one of five most innovative companies on the West Coast in San Francisco. The Fancy Food Shows are the biggest shows for our category. In San Francisco 114,000 people attend, in New York it’s 150,000. That’s s a lot of people.” Locally, Silk Road Soda is available in several retail markets, including the Roseville locations of Whole Foods and Nugget Markets. It is also on sale at the Raley’s in Granite Bay. Restaurants locations throughout Placer and Sacramento counties are beginning to add it to their menus. “I think that the Roseville community and Sacramento area have really bolstered the brand,” says Fardanesh. “They really took us in. People really liked it and spread the word about us. It’s really the community as a whole that’s supported it.

f you’re looking for a way to keep your kids active this summer, ReCreate may have just the thing to keep their minds sharp while school is out. The non-profit Roseville arts center has expanded their summer camp repertoire to include science and technology being presented alongside of their usual arts and ecology emphasis. The learning environment will be fostered through several Destination Imagination and Maker Camps that are running through July. The camps encompass a STEAM curriculum, focusing on science, technology, engineering, arts, and math, while still working within ReCreate’s mission to inspire kids to reduce, reuse, and recycle. “Our camps are not just ‘come and make art’ this year,”

24

explains Donna Sangwin, ReCreate’s founder and Executive Director. “What this situation is allowing us to do is add much higher levels of science and technology, engineering, and math to our science camp. It’s all hands-on, we call them Maker Camps. We have some amazing camps. Everything is about stretching their brains and minds in different and creative ways.” That situation is grant funded by Cognizant and the Maker Education Initiative, which strives to help teachers engage kids through hands-on experiences. The organization has selected ReCreate as a Maker Corps host site. “Maker Education Initiative runs a program where they band together people to help create better education-


Secret Agent Spy When: al opportunities for kids over the summer — to make and tinker and try to do different things,” says Sangwin. “We applied to be a part of this program and, not only were we accepted, but we were given a grant by a company that supports them called Cognizant.” Summer camps include a Secret Agent Spy Camp, where kids will learn about forensics while engineering spy gadgets and collaborating with teammates on “missions.” There will also be a Circuits and Robotics Camp to instruct students on building their own “bots.” The Textiles and Fibers Camp covers sowing basics, along with adding lights and computing aspects to wear-able projects. Great Cardboard Challenge, a la Caine’s Arcade, offers kids the chance to create their own large and small scale projects out of, what else, cardboard. “The biggest reason why I’m so excited about this Making is that this really allows kids today to get inspired, to get interested in science or technology, engineering, or any of those fields that might feel a little bit far away and hands off in a basic classroom,” Sangwin stresses. “It’s very hands-on and it’s very open ended. My hope for this program over all is that we are creating then next generation of innovators in our region. I know that’s a lofty goal, but I really want kids to realize that they have the whole world ahead of them, and they don’t have to limit what they think they can do just because they never tried it.” Even if families don’t opt to enroll in summer camps, ReCreate’s EcoArt Studio will be open to the public for drop-in arts and craft workshops. “We’re doing all kinds of stuff this summer; and of course our arts center will be open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for people to come in and do drop-in crafting, because that’s kind of what we were always doing,” Sangwin adds. The activities at ReCreate divert an estimated 70 tons of materials each year from going into various waste systems. Reducing waste remains a core focus for the center in addition to its goals around art, education, and imagination. “What we’re trying to do is use materials in a way that’s even more effective for the community,” says Sangwin. “We’re trying to mash the re-use (strategy) and the technology all together to give them the most well-rounded, most affordable opportunities in the region.”

Chardarino is a blend of our Estate grown Chardonnay and Albarino. The results give some of the best characteristics of both grapes - a little French, a little Spanish, and a hundred-percent California rebel. PaZa is happy to be one of the first to grow Albarino in Placer County, and it shows-through with aromas of fresh pear, and a tad bit of minerallity on the palate. Then, the Chardonnay compliments the mix with a kiss of green apple on the nose,

and a hint of buttery caramel in a mouth-full of layered flavors.

New release is a 2012 Four Way Blend. This is a fruit forward well balanced blend of 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Zinfandel, 33% Syrah and 11% of a Petite Sirah.

Aged for two and a half years in French Oak. A slight amount of residual sugar counseled nicely by acid makes this wine perfect with dinner.

here’s no place like Placer! That’s the theme for this year’s Placer County fair, which harkens back to the classic “Wizard of Oz” story and evokes a sense of classic Americana. Organizers of the fair hope it offers a little something for everyone in the family. From live music and pie-eating contests, to carnival rides and livestock auctions, this year’s event is aiming for everyone to have a good time. “We are putting together a nice package of four days of entertainment,” says fair General Manager Greg Hegwer. “Each night we’ll have musical entertainment. We have a little bit of country and a little bit of rock and roll.” Acts include the Chris Gardner Band, Westbound 50, Cripple Creek Band, an Eagles’ tribute band called Life in the Fast Lane, and local artists Madison Hudson and the Halie O’Ryan Band. According the Hegwer, the entertainment will be rounded out by acts such as hypnotists Susan Rosen, Jeremy the Juggler, Flo the Clown, the “Balloon Man” Skip Banks, and Wild About Monkeys, which feature Hollywood’s performing primates in three shows a day. Circus Imagination will also be on hand to give children a taste of what it’s like to run away with the circus (for a little while anyways). The big ring personalities visiting Placer

will be Tina the Tightrope Walker, Marco the Lion Tamer and Zazel the Human Cannon Ball. The circus will look to get local kids to dress up and be a part of the performance. There will also be plenty of fair traditions: Carnival rides, collections, crafts and exhibits will all be part of the action. The area’s biggest talent in quilt-making and jam-making will see their accomplishments from one hall to another. For the competitively hungry, there will be pie and watermelon-eating contests over the weekend. On Saturday, June 27, the Miss Placer County pageant will crown the region’s newest queen, as well as Miss Placer Teen and Mini Miss. On the following Sunday, June 28, the fair will host a junior livestock auction where local 4-h and FFA students sell their animals. “We’ll also have the full livestock show of steers, cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, and rabbits,” adds Hegwer. “Kids who have been working all year on these projects put their animals up for sale and recoup their money to go back into the school or further their education.” And not to be left out, the fair offers hungry mouths a variety of sweet and savory options, from the tried-and-true turkey legs to deep fried delectables. The exotic will also be on sale in the form of Peruvian fare and Hawaiian snow cones. Adults can wash it all down with selections rom the beer gardens or an offering from “The Margarita Man.

mage Orthodontics is looking to make a few kids smile. The Roseville practice is a member of the Sacramento chapter of Smile for a Lifetime, a national non-profit organization that gives orthodontic scholarships to area teens. Dr. Yan Kalika, who has several local practices, founded chapters in the San Francisco area in 2012 and in the Sacramento area in 2013, after a Colorado colleague launched the initial program in 2008. “Our goal is to build up the children in our community to have a high self esteem,” explains Dr. Kalika. “Our program is designed to choose kids in the community that are great achievers and future leaders, but might be being held back by a lack in self confidence in their smiles. To see children go from covering their mouths when they talk to proudly grinning from ear to ear is something beautiful that we get to see every day. We want to make sure all kids get this opportunity.” “I think it’s a great opportunity for all of us to be involved in our community,” says Dr. Marina Milstein, who serves as the primary doctor at Image Orthodontic’s Roseville office. “For me as a doctor, it gives me the satisfaction of providing treatment to underprivileged children and I’m really grateful to be a part of it.” “We look for under privileged kids who wouldn’t be able to afford the orthodontic treatment on their own,” says program director Nicole Droulard. “But we’re mostly looking for future leaders of our community, kids who do really well in their community and get good grades, want to participate, and we’re trying to help them reach their full potential by giving them more confidence in their smile.”

they commit to a certain number of community service hours,” explains Droulard. “One young man that’s with us right now, his pay-it-forward plan is unique. Most other kids have chosen to work with their church, but he’s chosen to work with the Veterans’ Hall to help veterans and military personnel because he wants to go into the military someday himself.” Most treatment plans last between 18 and 24 months, with coverage for all necessary dental needs during that time. “We have a doctor who does all of their cleaning, any cavities, any of that kind of dentistry, we also have an oral surgeon if they need any extractions, wisdom teeth taken out, things like that. It’s all included,” says Droulard. “That also includes one year of retention, so after their braces are off, they get retainers, and we do a six month retainer check and a one year retainer check. Within that time, if anything goes wrong, like the retainer breaks, we can still help them in our program.” This is the second year that Image Orthodontics has participated in the Smiles for a Lifetime program, serving three children in the spring and three children in the fall of last year. The latest recipients were selected at the end of May and three more will be awarded later this year in November.

Each year, six teens between the ages of 11 and 18 are selected by a Board of Directors comprised of local dental professionals. The program’s application process requires candidates to get letters of recommendation as well as perform acts of community service, should they receive the scholarship. “They’re required to create a ‘pay-it-forward’ program where they communicate with a non-profit organization, or another organization, in their area and

Plan Your Exercise Days: As the sun warms up be prepared to exercise either early in the morning or later in the evening. The weather is much cooler outside during those hours. Exercising during warmer temperatures increases your chances of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Stay hydrated: You’ll need to consume more water as temperature’s increase. Staying hydrated helps the heart and muscles work more efficiently. The amount of water you will need will depend on climate and conditions but the easiest tip for judging how much water you will need to stay hydrated is to drink enough that your urine is clear. Join an Exercise Group: Joining an exercise group is a

great way to mix up your fitness routine so your body doesn’t plateau. It’s also a great way to build comradery and make new friends plus it will also hold you accountable with your own workouts.

I’ve been a Personal Trainer for 10 years, I have my degree in Kinesiology from CSUS. I’m the owner and sole trainer at All The Way Fit in Roseville where I team Small Group Personal Training sessions. It’s a great environment for all fitness levels.

Interval Training: We’ve all heard that interval training

is the best way to workout but why? Well interval training allows you to burn more calories with your workout and in a shorter period of time. Win, win right? The key with interval training is to take shorter breaks and high volume of reps to help build muscle endurance. My suggestion would be do exercises and pick a weight that you can perform 20-25 reps in a 45 sec window, then move on to the next exercise within 15-20 sec. Do 3 sets of every exercise and this is a great way to burn fat and build muscle.

Wear light colored clothes and cotton material:

Wearing light colored clothes will help reflect the heat and make it feel less hot outside. Also wearing cotton material will help evaporate the sweat and as we know our body will sweat more in the warmer temperatures. Most importantly wear what makes you feel comfortable.

When I started with Brandon 9 months ago I could barely do 10 pushups. Now I average over 150 per day. I couldn’t jog around soccer field without stopping. Now I run. His classes are for ANYONE who wants to increase their fitness level. We don’t judge. We encourage. - Glenn Harrison, Citrus Heights, CA

Exercise for people on the go: If you feel you don’t have enough time in the day to make it to the gym try doing simple body weight exercises such as pushups, squats, lunges, dips and crunches. The great thing about these exercises is you can do them anywhere, you don’t need any equipment just your own body weight. Perfect 3 sets of 20-25 reps on each exercise for 20 min and try and push yourself to get them done faster each time. Dont get so consumed on the amount of calories: So

many times we get so consumed that you can only have a certain amount of calories in a day. Yes it’s important to know how many calories you eat during a day but don’t let it take over your life. Try and eat balanced meals throughout the day with good source of carbs, fats and protein and make sure to exercise 4-5 times a week at a high intensity. If you can get this accomplished your body will get in the process of burning calories throughout the day and won’t be eager to hold on to them to store them as fat.

Engage the Family: A great thing about summer is

enjoying the beautiful weather outside. Spending some family time bonding can be a great way to teach your kids the importance of exercise and staying active. Some great activities can be going on a hike, swimming, playing a fun game of tag at the park, or even bike riding. There are many fun things to do outdoors so take advantage of the weather when it allows you to.

Best cardio workouts: We all are looking for the best cardio workouts that are the most effective. Interval training on a treadmill or outside is the best way to burn abdominal fat. Sprinting for a 20 to 30 second window with a small recovery of just 10 o 15 seconds will increase your heart rate dramatically and in doing this will require your body to have to consume a ton of oxygen. Once you complete this exercise for about 20-30 minutes the great thing about it is that your body will still burn calories post workout for 4-5 hours later due to it still trying to

get oxygen back to your muscles. So pick any exercise that gets your heart rate up high enough that you’re breathing hard and only give yourself a short rest in between. Best Exercises to get those Tank Top arms: Obviously

you still need to get cardio in and watch your food intake but the best exercises to get tank top arms for the summer are simple things we’ve all done before such as bicep curls, dips, triceps kickbacks, rows and even pushups. The key is really feeling a burn when doing these exercises for up to 20-25 reps.

Be Patient: Don’t expect to reach your fitness goal in 2 weeks. Exercise and staying healthy needs to be a lifestyle chance, not a quick fix. With us living in a social media, google, YouTube society it’s so easy for us to get access to anything quick that we lose the thought that some things in life just take time, fitness being one of them. Focus on small simple tasks done daily and weekly which will in the long term result in the success you are looking for. Make fitness Fun: We tend to stress out so much over losing weight that we forget that fitness and getting healthy can be fun and very rewarding. Mix up your workouts so you don’t do the same thing every time. Take a fitness class or hire a Personal Trainer to help give you the support you need. Also make sure to reward yourself once you reach certain milestones such as going down a pant size or fitting into a dress from years ago. If you stay positive, stay focused and have a goal that you’re willing to work hard for you will absolutely be pleased with the results you see.

or over a century Roseville’s main hub has been centered along its railroad lines. From pioneer days to the end of Prohibition era, the historic district, known affectionately as “Old Town,” has been the heart and soul of the city’s community. Despite some of the area’s well-publicized challenges, the neighborhood has fought for the last few years to bring about a resurgence of popularity. With bars and clubs moving into its glorious buildings of yesterday, Old Town is set to reclaim its title of nightlife entertainment hotspot. Roseville Magazine recently spent an evening in Old Town to see what people love about their historic neighborhood. From its cold beer and delicious food to its meandering walkways and relaxing patios, Old Town is a great place to spend your warm summer nights.

hirley Canyon sits deep in the heart of world-renowned Squaw Valley and is a classic Tahoe day hike. Whether you are out to enjoy a scenic nature walk, snap wildflower photos, enjoy waterfalls on a scenic day hike, or take on some fun wilderness running, Shirley is a consistent and reliable crowdpleaser. The trail itself is moderate, 4.5 mile round trip with 1300 feet of elevation gain. From the base of Squaw Valley, the trail ascends the canyon on a picturesque dirt trail that alternates between gentle granite slabs and pleasurable rock outcrops (for hopping!). After you’ve been inundated by a mile of scenic waterfalls and trailside pools, complete with wildflowers and bird life, the trail steepens with the topography of the canyon. Fear not: between the steeper sections there are nice flat rests to enjoy the views of Squaw Valley and the gorgeous canyon before you. As you approach Shirley Lake, the trail becomes very playful and entertaining in nature. Characterized by rocky hop-scotch, the granite landscape is littered with boulders and rock outcrops that let you play like a kid. (Again. Still!) While mildly technical, this hike can be enjoyed by hikers of all types and abilities – even the most recreational of you! – and is not to be missed. Upon arriving at Shirley Lake, it’s as if you’ve reached your own private amphitheater. After a cool-off dip in the lake, sun-warmed granite slabs await. Soak up the sun’s rays while enjoying lunch and taking in the scenery. Sit back and enjoy one of Tahoe’s gems and don’t forget to take photos as the landscape is stunning! On the 2.2 miles back down to your car, enjoy the hike in reverse. Different perspectives of the flowers, waterfalls, and surrounding peaks fill your view as you

descend back to the valley floor. It’s fun to see where you’ve been and what you might have missed along the way up. Take it all in! Whether you hike this great location once in your life or several times a season, Shirley Canyon never disappoints. Please note that all hikers and runners should be diligent about following the blue blazes found on the granite slab so as to not get off course. Additionally, bring bug spray and sunscreen, and don’t start too late in the day to avoid getting lost in the dark if you get turned around. The Alpenglow Mountain Festival is a bi-annual, ten day celebration of human-powered mountain sports, events, clinics, equipment demos, presentations, film and more. Exploring some of the best activities Lake Tahoe has to offer, the event is the only mountain lifestyle event in North America that is mostly free and community-centric.

(approximately 4 miles, 2000' elevation loss) This is a great half day hike through a mountain canyon that passes by waterfalls and spectacular granite boulders. Hikers begin on either the Shirley Lake trail (a dirt road) or the Solitude trail (a narrower single track trail). Once the trails meet and you reach Shirley Lake hikers can either hike back up to High Camp and ride the Aerial Tram down for free or hike down the canyon. Please Note: This trail may sometimes be hard to follow, so remember the general rule is to keep the creek on your left side and follow it down until you arrive at the base of the mountain. There are also some steep sections to negotiate through the granite so hiking boots are strongly recommended. Thunder Mountain Trail

(approximately 3.2 miles, 2000' elevation gain/loss) The Thunder Mountain Trail is the perfect hike to explore Squaw Valley from the base to High Camp. Hikers can start their adventure at the bottom of the KT-22 lift. From here you will walk towards the very wide bridge, which is where the route begins. The trail is clearly in-
