| editor’s letter |

t’s been two weeks since my family of three has grown to a family of five— and no, I didn’t have twins or adopt a pair of pups. We moved in with my parents while our house undergoes major construction (a remodel that will eventually be featured on HGTV; stay tuned, literally, for updates). Transition is always an interesting time, especially when it involves returning to your roots and bunking up with your mom, dad, husband, and two-year-old. Mornings look different now (mainly louder…and earlier), family time is all the time, and privacy is pretty much nonexistent. It’s not better; it’s definitely not worse; it’s just different. But change, in my opinion, is oftentimes a good thing—especially when it involves a pool, built-in babysitters, and a fridge full of tasty food. Plus, my parents aren’t getting any younger, nor is my daughter, so I’m going to cherish this time together and make the most of our “summer vacation.” If you, too, are looking to maximize the hot days ahead, keep reading. This month’s magazine will have you jumping for summertime joy, starting with our feature on page 53. From cool ice cream concoctions (including the colossal cone on our cover from Snooks) to in-person (finally!) events that run the gamut from a grape stomp at Wise Villa Winery to a good oldfashioned fair, plus top spots to make a splash, there’s something to ensure everyone has fun in the sun. Just remember: Be water wise (for top swim safety tips, see page 62), stay hydrated (don’t miss “Drink Up: The Importance of H20” on page 34), and wear sunscreen (check out our top blocks and other summertime essentials on page 40). Finally, how could we forget the rad dads? Father’s Day is June 20, after all. When I asked my husband how he wants to celebrate, he replied: “a round of golf, followed by a beer and family BBQ.” Easy enough, eh? If you also have a golf-obsessed guy on your hands, check out “Greens with Envy” (page 24) for 10 tee-rrific public courses that are pretty without being pretentious. In —Oprah Winfrey “Family Matters,” we introduce you to four local fathers who go above and beyond for their kids and our community. Read their unique, and uniquely touching, stories starting on page 18. There’s plenty of things to see, do, and celebrate this summer, so grab your loved ones (maybe even move in with them!) and seize the season. Cheers!

“Summer has a flavor like no other. Always fresh and simmered in sunshine.”

He couldn’t have been more friendly and happily agreed to a photo. I wouldn’t say it’s the best birthday ever, but it certainly ranks in the top five!” —Wendy Sipple

His hand was huge, and he had a sweetness about him I can’t put into words. I’ve met many, many celebs, but he really was The Greatest.”—Terry Carroll

Family Matters 4 Rad Dads

However, the times we went before a judge and were awarded the adoption of the three younger children are especially great memories. The years we spent fostering them while supporting the birth parents were grueling emotionally, mentally, and physically—yet rewarding.

BY TARA MENDANHA

Dads. They’re slayers of dragons, fixers of things, teachers of lessons, and tellers of really bad jokes. As we celebrate Father’s Day this month (June 20), we’re grateful for the wit, wisdom, and wonder they bring to our lives.

What’s your parenting style? My father was ex-military, which led him to parent in a very authoritarian manner. I, on the other hand, try hard to connect with my children so I can guide them, praise them, and meet their needs. Being firm but warm, I hold high expectations but reward equally. How has fatherhood changed you? I quickly learned I’m not perfect. It has helped me to continuously take stock of what I’m doing, change what I can, and accept what I can’t control. What life lessons do you hope to impart to your children? There will always be peaks and valleys in life—like a roller coaster! Cherish the good times and learn from your mistakes.

being a dad: I’m most thankful for my wife. She is strong when I feel like falling apart. I can’t imagine doing this without her. Favorite activity to do with the kids: Being

outdoors, whether walking/hiking or at a park. Your ultimate dad superpower: The “death glare”—they can tell by the look in my eyes that I’m being serious.

Rick Bartee

DAD OF

ick has shined in his 40-year career in the fire service. “Being in a position to help others never gets old,” he says. Although this genteel man is the current fire chief of Roseville, to his six kids, he’s simply “dad.” His son Kevin (39) is also a fire captain who shares many traits with his dad; Sarah (34) is patient, soft-spoken, and works for a water distribution company; and Kristin (32) is introverted, expressive, and works in retail. Rick and his wife, Jennifer, became certified foster parents in 2005, welcoming siblings Milo and Tatianna whom they later adopted. A few years after, a fellow firefighter looking for foster care for a relative, brought Boston into their lives. He was adopted thereafter and the three are now thriving. Tatiana (17) is independent and loves the arts; Milo (14) is outgoing and responsible; and Boston (10) is spirited and the most competitive of the six! Describe your foray into fatherhood. With all the children, I cherish the times when they were little.

Describe your foray into fatherhood. When Scarlette was young, I was told I couldn’t see her anymore. I wasn’t in a place to afford legal action so, unfortunately, we had no relationship for a few years. Three years ago, I started a reunification process and was awarded full custody about a year ago. We now have a great relationship. Recently, teaching the girls how to drive or talking to them about relationships and watching them turn into women has been amazing to experience.

How has fatherhood changed you? It taught me how to put others first. Having two girls taught me to look at things from a female perspective. I now try and be an example so when they’re in a relationship they understand what it’s like to be treated properly. What life lessons do you hope to impart to your children? If you’re with someone who has a child, treat them as if they’re your own. Be open to life. Love others no matter their finances, race, sexuality, or education. Follow through with what you say you’re going to do.

Q&A Best part about being a dad: Watching them grow and seeing what you’ve instilled in them as they navigate life and become their own person. Favorite activity to do with the kids: Traveling/camping, watching ’80s and ’90s movies, and watching them laugh at things I

remember laughing at. Favorite dad joke: Them: "What’s for dinner?” Me: "FOOD.” Them: “What kind of food?" Me: "The edible kind.” Them: *eyeroll* Your ultimate dad superpower: I’d love to say my utility belt, but Batman beat me to it, so I’d say my ability to be a dorky, fun dad and still

be their protector. Best dad advice: Listen to your children, listen to your partner, and always try and talk it out. When the going gets tough…Loosen up and let your daughter paint your nails, put your hair in pigtails, and enjoy the moment.

ou’ve probably seen Adrian around Folsom. He’s the guy with the big smile and bounce in his step. You’ve also likely seen him at community events and festivities; present at Rotary Club and Lions Club fundraisers; and contributing his time to nonprofits like Folsom’s Hope, the Folsom Bulldogs, and Twin Lakes Food Bank. Adrian’s also an avid supporter of first responders and does a lot for them. Amid his rigorous social schedule, Adrian also operates Folsom’s beloved Adrian Blanco Jewelry—for which he’s won numerous small business awards in an industry he’s been in for over 20 years. “I believe small businesses are the lifeline of our community and are what make Folsom so unique!” he says. Community service and entrepreneurship aside, Adrian is a proud papa to Lucas (10), Dillon (8), and Daisy (2). He spends time

Adrian Blanco DAD OF

scouting and playing sports with the two adventurous boys and loves interacting with his little girl. Describe your foray into fatherhood. Having kids is something I've always looked forward to since I came from a huge family [but] I truly did not know the "love" my parents have for me until I became a parent myself. It's that indescribable, unconditional love! What’s your parenting style? I oscillate between being an authoritative and permissive dad. Setting rules are important but at the same time I believe in letting kids be kids. How has fatherhood changed you? My desire to love, protect, and provide is stronger than ever. I've realized that I'm able to feel certain emotions that I didn't know I was capable of feeling. It's amazing! What life lessons do you hope to impart to your children? Every parent wants the best for their children. I just want them to grow up happy knowing that they matter above anything else in this world.

Q&A Best part about

being a dad: Hanging out with my mini-mes! Favorite activity to do with the kids: With my boys, playing Nintendo Switch; with my baby daughter, everything

she does. Favorite dad joke: “Why did the chicken cross the road” jokes. Your ultimate superpower: I can fix anything! Best dad advice: Always

do your best, but most importantly have fun. When the going gets tough…Just keep moving forward.

The multi-talented musician has performed with prominent local band Azuar for over 10 years and is currently the music director at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. Serafin was also a scoutmaster when his boys were young and now serves as a board member of its booster organization. His three children have excelled in life

What’s your parenting style? Firm but fair. With the kids it’s a fairly simple rule: If you try your best and are honest then we’ll be as relaxed as possible. We also have an open-door policy. If you did something just come tell us.

Serafin Garcia DAD OF

albeit “with very little handholding from us parents,” Serafin says. Christina (25) is a black belt in karate, has a master’s in applied physics from Harvard, and works for a research lab; Joey (22) is an Eagle Scout, rower, and natural leader who's currently studying computer science at MIT; and Nick (20) was also a scout and is at MIT where he sings with the Logarhythms. Describe your foray into fatherhood. Before we moved to Folsom in 1995, we were considering adoption since children just didn't seem to be forthcoming. There must be something in the water here since we ended up with three awesome kids. Before Joey’s college freshman year at MIT, we learned that he had a brain tumor. He subsequently took a gap year to receive treatment at St. Jude Hospital in Memphis. Dealing with his brain tumor was a real ordeal for the family, but it also brought out the best in us. What’s your parenting style? Laissez-faire. I try to raise my kids by example, ensure that they have options, and nudge them a bit while giving them space to make their own choices. How has fatherhood changed you? The responsibility certainly changed my priorities. I would probably be a bit more adventurous if I didn't have kids, but it's been a fun, extremely rewarding ride. What life lessons do you hope to impart to your children? Do the right thing; give back to the community; use your talents to make the world a better place; volunteer.

Q&A Best part about

being a dad: Seeing my kids succeed in what they do and exercise "adulting." Favorite activity to do with the kids: Camping.

Favorite dad joke: Any and every bad pun. Your ultimate dad superpower: I instantly detect when something is out of place around the house—but especially in the garage.

Pro Tip from Shawn Kelly, PGA Head Professional at The Ridge Golf Course & Event Center: “Keep your head down” is one of the worst phrases in golf. You should keep your head steady from moving up and down, not completely still or down and look at the target more than the ball; I call it being target-orientated. Focus more on where you want to go instead of keeping your head down.

Hooked on Books Summer Reading 101 by NELLY KISLYANKA

Immersing yourself in a good book—whether by the pool or under a shady tree—is the perfect hot weather hobby. It’s relaxing, increases empathy, and boosts your brainpower; plus, it’s cheaper than an airline ticket! Whether you’re into inspirational biographies or scintillating who-dunnits, there’s a book to satisfy every whim. Keep reading for recommended reads (courtesy of area bookstore owners and librarians)—and remember to #ShopLocal.

Q&A WITH LOCAL BOOK LOVERS 3000 Green Valley Road, Suite 13, Cameron Park, 530-350-8903, facebook.com/thebookhousecp What’s your all-time favorite book? My favorite classics are Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, because it’s totally enchanting and the perfect escapist read; and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury for its sheer, emotional power. My copies of Dune by Frank Herbert and The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson are held together by rubber bands, because I’ve reread them so many times. Both titles include fantastic worldbuilding, vivid characters, and superb story arcs. Which author do you consider a must-read? Fredrik Backman, Kristin Hannah, and Jason Reynolds for the heart; Mary Roach, Isabel Wilkerson, and Haruki Murakami for the mind; Paulo Coelho and Don Miguel Ruiz for the soul. What book would you recommend for summer reading? Light, magical realism makes for a good summer read, like Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic. And don’t discount graphic novels as a legitimate reading experience—they’re perfect for summer and can elicit a multitude of emotions on every page. You can’t go wrong with Kami Garcia, Rainbow Rowell, Neil Gaiman, or Joe Hill. I also highly recommend Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows; I’m currently immersed in her Grishaverse series and can’t wait to see the new screen adaptation!

Debbie Centi, Youth Services

Librarian at Folsom Public Library, 411 Stafford Street, Folsom, 916-461-6130, library. folsom.ca.us What’s your all-time favorite book? Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White. This children’s classic is a gentle story about the universal themes of friendship, love, and life itself. Although the book was written many years ago, the timeless message of being kind to our friends and loved ones still resonates soundly today. Which author do you consider a must-read? Kids at the library are enjoying anything by Rick Riordan, author of the popular Percy Jackson series. His adventure stories feature mythology from different cultures and countries.

What book would you recommend for summer reading? The 2021 John Newbery Medal winner When You Trap a Tiger by Tae Keller would be a great read for summer. When Lily, her sister Sam, and their mother move in with her sick grandmother, Lily traps a tiger and makes a deal with him to heal her. Magical elements and a diverse cast of characters make this book a winner.

What’s your all-time favorite book? To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is timeless. Even though it was released in 1960, it still addresses issues that are relevant today, such as race relations, single parenthood, mental illness, and the justice system. Which author do you consider a must-read? I love Tana French’s writing! She’s so adept at the psychological thriller while also creating vivid characters that stick with you long after you’ve finished her books. What book would you recommend for summer reading? The Phonebooth at the Edge of the World by Laura Imai Messina is a story about loss and grief, yet it never feels overly “heavy.” It’s full of hope, love, and new beginnings, which are all things we desperately need right now.

What’s your all-time favorite book? Becoming by Michelle Obama. Our former first lady’s candid and humble story is beautifully written with her true emotions coming through in every anecdote. It’s uplifting, telling, and often laugh-out-loud funny. Which author do you consider a must-read? An author that I try to push on nearly everyone is Fredrik Backman. The Swedish novelist’s stories are character-driven and amazingly relatable. The way he weaves his stories allows you to take them as light reading or dig a little deeper to think about relationships and human nature. I especially recommend A Man Called Ove and Anxious People. What book would you recommend for summer reading? No matter what your summer plans are, make sure you take some time to read The Bad Muslim Discount. Sacramento author, Syed Masood, is hilarious! His story of several Muslims growing up throughout the world and then immigrating to San Francisco touches on faith, family, and assimilation. Masood’s deep insights are masked in a hard-toput-down story that’ll make you feel all the feels!

Tonie Iriarte Jenkins, Library Assistant at

Lincoln Public Library, 485 Twelve Bridges Drive, Lincoln, 916-434-2410, lincolnca.gov/ city-hall/departments-divisions/library What’s your all-time favorite book? Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I love the mystery of it all and how circumstances and people aren’t always what they seem. It truly transports you into the story as you go on the journey with Pip, the young orphan, as he works to achieve the “great expectations” he’s set for himself. You won’t feel the same about any of the characters by the end. What author do you consider a mustread? Jane Austin! Who doesn’t love a romantic, feel-good story? What book would you recommend for summer reading? The Honeymooner by Melanie Summers. It’s a light, fun, non-stressful read about a woman who gets dumped on her wedding day but goes on the honeymoon anyway.

Librarian at Roseville Public Library, 225 Taylor Street, Roseville, 916-774-5221, roseville. ca.us/government/departments/library What’s your all-time favorite book? I keep returning to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, despite some terribly problematic language and representation in the book. I’ve enjoyed revisiting Gatsby from a social-historical perspective through books like So We Read On by Maureen Corrigan and Careless People by Sarah Churchwell. This year, the book entered the public domain, and I’m very excited to read some of the modern retellings of the story, especially The Chosen and Beautiful by Nghi Vo, which reimagines the character of Jordan Baker as queer, Asian, and able to use magic! I’m very intrigued. What author do you consider a must-read? For me, Donna Tartt is a must-read author. She only publishes a novel every 10 years or so and, in my opinion, they’re always worth the wait. What book would you recommend for summer reading? I enjoyed The Ladies of the Secret Circus by Constance Sayers. Its spooky and mysterious but also light and fun to read, which is what most people seem to want in a summer read. However, I’m planning to binge on a series of Scandinavian crime novels—Helen Tursten’s Detective Inspector Huss—this summer. Tursten was recommended to me as a “female Jo Nesbo,” so I’m anticipating some first-class grit and gore in them. JUNE 2021 |

TROUBLED WATERS: WHY WATER IS SO VITAL

BY KOURTNEY JASON

We’re all bodies of water. In fact, “up to 60% of the human body is water,” says Donna Webb, instructor, personal trainer, and nutrition consultant at THE STUDIO Martial Arts & Fitness. “Therefore, it’s important to stay hydrated, as it affects every vital organ in your body and can lead to fatigue, diminished brain function, and the inability for the body to properly detox.” Along with Webb, we asked local experts to share the 411 on H20.

“Drinking water is so vital because staying hydrated is what allows us to have optimal body function. It can help with weight loss and ease of bowel movements.”—Audrey Rose Lewkowitz, PA-C, Marshall Family Medicine, marshallmedical. org/locations/family-medicine-el-dorado-hills “I wouldn’t recommend [drinking] just water because you could dilute your concentration of electrolytes. I [recommend adding] some sort of electrolyte to it, like a Nuun tablet or salt.”—Mark Cavallaro, Head Trainer & Nutritionist, Roseville Health & Wellness Center, rosevillehwc.com GLASS HALF FULL: HOW MUCH WATER IN 24 HOURS?

Easy Ways to Drink More Water •Have a large reusable bottle full of water ready to take with you wherever you go.

•Try healthy water alternatives like kombucha, coffee, tea, etc. Just limit the amount of caffeine you consume each day since it acts as a diuretic. •Download a hydration app to remind you to drink water on a regular basis; or fill up the number of water bottles you need to drink in a day and sip from those bottles. •For people who have a hard time drinking plain water, try adding zero-calorie water flavorings or a squeeze of fresh citrus; you can also freeze raspberries or blueberries in ice cube trays to add flavor and chill your water throughout the day.

if you weigh 150 pounds, you want to drink between 75-150 ounces of water.” —Donna Webb “I recommend all adults consume at least 64 ounces, or two liters, of water daily. If you’re exercising or want to drink water to lose weight, increase it to 100 ounces or approximately three liters daily.”—Audrey Rose Lewkowitz TIMING IS EVERYTHING: WHEN TO DRINK UP

“Two hours prior to bedtime, refrain from drinking water in excess, in order to minimize having to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.”—Audrey Rose Lewkowitz HYDRATION HIGHWAY: HOW TO TELL IF YOU’RE PROPERLY HYDRATED

“The color of your urine is the best indicator for your hydration level. The clearer your urine, the more hydrated you are.” —Donna Webb

“Starting your day with a big glass of water helps to wake up your system. Staying wellhydrated throughout the day helps your body in the detoxing and regeneration process at night as you sleep.”—Donna Webb

“Be aware if you take a vitamin, as it will make your urine a bright yellow. Thirst is not a good indicator; if you’re thirsty, it’s usually too late, which is why consistent hydration throughout the day is preferred.”—Mark Cavallaro

“It’s best to drink most of your water between meals. If you drink too much water with food, it impedes digestion.”—Pamela Connor

“If your stools are hard and small, this can indicate you’re not drinking enough water throughout the day.”—Audrey Rose Lewkowitz

“If you drink large amounts at one time, your body won’t be able to properly absorb it.” —Mark Cavallaro

“Dehydration isn’t always obvious. Some of the signs of mild to moderate dehydration include brain fog, fatigue, muscle weakness doing daily activities, and decreased urine amount.” —Pamela Connor

Take a Hike

Tahoe Vista Trail by RYAN MARTINEZ

LOCATED IN: Kings Beach, North Lake

Tahoe. DISTANCE: 8 miles out-and-back. DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Moderate. FUEL UP: Bar of America

(barofamerica.com) is on a mission to provide delicious, sustainably harvested meals in a fun, no-frills atmosphere. One bite of the fried jalapeño “shooters” or chicken & waffles, and it becomes clear why this iconic Truckee watering hole has been around for over 40 years. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: Plan on arriving early to secure a parking spot at the trailhead; if the paved lot is full, park along Highway 267. Expect to see plenty of people; bring lots of water.

WHY WE LOVE IT: The reputation

and fame of Lake Tahoe is validated by the views at the top, offering world-class beauty just a stone’s throw away from home. TRAIL NOTES: Bring shoes with traction and use GPS if the trail becomes unclear (though this shouldn’t be a problem in late spring/ summer). Leash your dog and practice Leave No Trace ethics.

GEOLOGY 101: HOW WAS TAHOE FORMED? Despite widespread belief that the Tahoe Basin came about due to a collapsing volcanic crater, the third deepest lake in North America was actually created by fault dynamics. As the two ranges around Tahoe formed (the Sierra Nevada to the west and Carson Range to the east) a valley was established. Meanwhile, lava flow initiated a dam to the north of present-day Lake Tahoe, where a lake formed and eventually carved a new path: the present-day path of the Lower Truckee River. With the onset of the Ice Age, giant glaciers flowed down the valleys, forming large, U-shaped valleys, bare, jagged peaks, steep hillsides of gravel and rock (known as moraines), and pristine lakes that characterize Desolation Wilderness.

ask the expert BY EMILY PETER-COREY

Q: What are some early warning signs of hearing loss? A: Hearing loss can be insidious, slow, and progressive; therefore, it oftentimes goes unnoticed. Here are some early signs to watch for. • Difficulty hearing others in background noise. • Difficulty hearing children’s and women’s voices. • Asking others to repeat what they’re saying. • Turning up the television louder than others prefer. • Difficulty hearing on the telephone. • Putting the cell phone on speaker becomes easier to hear than listening with it on the ear. • Asking others to speak clearly. • Noticing that it’s difficult to hear others when they speak fast. • Sounds are muffled and dull.

GRILL MASTER’S GALLEY For the wearer of the “Kiss the Cook” apron comes the first outdoor style. With a focus on the backyard as an extension of the indoor kitchen and dining room, this style uses similar surfaces to those you would find in a restaurant or your own personal kitchen. Easy-to-clean countertops, stainless steel grills and cooking appliances, and plenty of storage are key factors to consider when recreating this look. Whether you’re having a romantic dinner outdoors or hosting a birthday party complete with burgers and hot dogs, you’ll need plenty of room to move throughout your kitchen space. Another must-have? An outdoor rug. Not only will it anchor your exterior kitchen, but they’re easy to clean, low-maintenance, and can take the traffic of a hundred little feet, a few pets, or a casual evening outdoors.

Longer, light-filled days and balmy temps give us plenty of reasons to celebrate. From weekend barbecues and pool parties to Sunday brunches, it’s time to step outside and soak up the sun. Whether you’re a pitmaster pro, hostess with the mostess, or the type to sit back and relax with a cocktail, we have a backyard design to suit you.

Consider installing special appliances like a wine cooler, pizza oven, or ice machine to make your outdoor kitchen extra efficient.

SOCIALITE’S SUN PERCH After a long week of working indoors— staring out at the beautiful weather— nothing feels more “right” than hosting an alfresco soirée. Besides some bubbles, bites, and best friends, you’ll need a space that sets the mood and helps the party end on a high note. To achieve this look, choose a citrusy color like orange or yellow to make your exterior space pop and help your guests feel more energized. Next, opt for a dining table that comfortably seats at least six people but is adjustable as needed should your quiet dinner party turn into a more intimate gathering. Next, choose outdoor furniture that complements your bright color palette and dining table—maybe a few lounge chairs or a fire pit. Lastly, gather party-proof accessories, like shatterproof glasses and plates and outdoor light fixtures that are both fashionable and functional.

RELAXER’S RETREAT Nothing screams "calm" quite like lazing in the sun. Taking a catnap on a lounge chair or sunbathing near the pool is a perfect way to while away a summer day,

and we highly recommend it. To achieve a relaxing outdoor retreat, you’ll need a few things. First, choose furniture in plush but functional fabrics and neutral colors and patterns. Next, add an outdoor fireplace, chimney, or fire pit to create coziness and keep guests warm after the sun dips down. Lastly, pile on textured textiles and linens, so you can snuggle up with a good book during the day. Whether you’re looking to hit the snooze button in the sun or invite a few people over to hang in your outdoor space, you’ll be all set with the above ideas for a relaxer’s retreat. Which outdoor personality are you? A griller in need of a galley? A sun-bathing socialite? Or someone in dire need of a relaxing retreat? Whether one or all three, these outdoor styles are some of our favorite ways to enjoy the sun-filled months ahead.

Perfect Scoops CHILL OUT:

Sweeten your summer with this roundup of the best ice cream treats in town.

Sweet Dozen Cones offers a seriously

Cià di Gelateria brings authentic Italian gelato to Folsom with fresh, local ingredients and raw ingredients imported from Italy. If that’s not authentic, what is? There are no artificial sweeteners or colors in their gelato and very little cream, but fret not: slow churning achieves a dense, creamy texture. While they offer their gelatos in all their naked goodness (hazelnut, midnight chocolate, salted caramel, etc.), they also make cute-as-a-button gelato popsicles (chocolate-covered peanut butter, pralinecoated fior di latte, graham-sprinkled cappuccino, etc.) and serve an especially exquisite affogato that comes with the gelato of your choice (we recommend the stracciatella featuring sweet cream with shavings of chocolate) topped with two shots of espresso. It’s the ultimate Italian indulgence. 2784 East Bidwell Street, Suite 100, Folsom, 916-817-1430, ciagelato.com

Sweet Dozen Cones’s Nutty Professor

What’s better than chocolate? Chocolate and ice cream, of course! And Snooks Chocolate Factory in Folsom delivers both. Whether you’re craving melt-in-yourmouth morsels of luxurious chocolate or cool spheres of smooth, silky ice cream, Snooks has treats that’ll satisfy the entire family. In addition to fabulous fruit freezes, they carry Gunther’s Ice Cream (a Sacramento institution since 1940) in a rainbow of flavors—favorites include taro, birthday cake, and mint chip. Ask for all three piled high onto one of Snooks’ hand-made, chocolate-dipped waffle cones. 731 Sutter Street, Folsom, 916-985-0620, snookscandies.com

sweet spin on ice cream treats. Their chimney cones—also known as kürtőskalács in Hungarian—are unique, hollow, bread-like pastries. They have a satisfying crunch on the outside and light, fluffy texture on the inside, providing the perfect vessel for ice cream. Select from a variety of flavored cones, half a dozen cream fillings, and soft serve gelato. One (of many!) fan favorite is the Nutty Professor (cinnamon sugar cone with peanut butter, walnuts, and chocolate gelato, topped with granola, Oreo crumbs, and a Nutter Butter). Their over-the-top offerings prove you can never have too much of a good thing. 807 Sutter Street, Folsom, 916-358-9814, foodiecones.com

Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream lays claim to the title of “best ice cream in the world”—something you’ll have to verify on your trip(s) there this summer. Their homemade ice cream is crafted using methods and recipes that have a history of over 75 years. And they don’t skimp on the good stuff. Fistfuls of nuts, creamy caramel, deep dark chocolate, fresh fruits, and fluffy marshmallows are blended into each batch, promising a cornucopia of ice cream adventures whenever you visit. Buckeye, black raspberry truffle, pistachio, French silk pie, birthday cake…they’re all fantastic. Try them in a four-scoop sampler, waffle bowl, or sugar cone. They even have cute little ice cream pops and sandwiches for additional frozen fun. 1011 East Bidwell, Suite 123, Folsom, 916-597-2947; 1164 Galleria Boulevard, Suite 100, Roseville, 916-755-4256, handelsicecream.com Birthday Cake at Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream Buckeye at Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream

Make a Splash DIVE IN:

Summer’s sweltering temps have even the most indoors-y of folks searching for a body of water. This list of spots to cool off is just what you need to keep from melting.

7 Water Safety Tips

LAKE (& RIVER) ESCAPES

No pool? No problem! Take advantage of our region’s lakes and rivers by going for a sunset paddle-boarding session, wakeboarding adventure, or heading to a pictureperfect beach for a picnic and quick dip.

Enroll in swim lessons. The earlier a child starts swim lessons, the better, as they’ll achieve developmental, physical, and social benefits, and gain skills ensuring a lifetime of safe, fun swimming.

Children should ultimately learn to swim without goggles and be comfortable opening eyes underwater. As kids become dependent on wearing goggles, they lose the ability to swim if their goggles fall off or fill with water. If a child happens to fall into a pool without goggles, it’s critical they’re comfortable opening their eyes, so they can locate the nearest step or wall and swim to safety.

American River Folsom Lake

Lake Natoma is the area’s go-to kayaking, stand-up paddling, and sailing spot, thanks to its 5-mph speed limit. Check out the Sacramento State Aquatic Center (sacstateaquaticcenter. com) in Gold River for Sunset Paddle excursions (held every full moon throughout the summer) and Youth Summer Camps for kids ages 7-17; offerings include Basic Boating Camp, Sailing Camp, or Rowing Camp. They also offer kayaking, sailing, and stand-up paddling lessons for beginners, in addition to rentals. For some fast-paced summer fun, Folsom Lake is the primo place to play. Beat the heat while boating, jet skiing, swimming, or windsurfing into the sunset.

/stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags

Limit the use of flotation devices. These devices create a false sense of security and cause children to become dependent on swimming with them. If a child falls or jumps in a pool, it’s important they know how to float and/or put their face in the water, without the aid of a flotation device, and swim to the side of the pool. With that said: Always make sure your kids wear life jackets on boats, personal watercraft, and in open bodies of water.

Follow a “getting ready to swim” routine before swimming. Just like a morning routine, if a child follows a “getting ready to swim” routine, such as going to the bathroom, putting on a swim diaper and suit, and applying sunscreen, it helps deter them from jumping into a pool on a whim.

Keep children under constant supervision. No matter how advanced you think your child is at swimming, they must always be supervised when in or around the water.

Know CPR. CPR is a procedure that everyone should know how to do. You never know when administering CPR could help to save a life.

Install pool fences or other barriers. If you have a pool, installing fences or other barriers around the pool is highly recommended, especially if there are children near the area.

Starting in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and with three distinct forks, the American River provides plenty of swimming spots, like Clarks Hole (also called Clarks Pool) on the North Fork. Walk the Clarks Hole Trail, enjoy the waterfall along the way, and spend the day soaking in the swimming hole. Those with an even bigger appetite for adventure can get splashed by the river’s rapids on a whitewater rafting expedition. There are dozens of commercial outfitters listed on theamericanriver.com/ recreation/whitewaterrafting, but we recommend booking with OARS (an international company with headquarters in the Sierra Foothills).

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 10 people die from unintentional drowning—every day. Play it safe this season by following these tips.

From an RN to a nurse anesthetist to an anesthesiologist, she spent almost 40 years in the operating room. She was exposed to critical care, trauma, obstetrics, lots of on call hours and sleepless nights. As she entered her 50's she found her own health starting to decline and sought out a healthy aging physician. After experiencing the benefits she sought out the fellowship of regenerative and healthy aging through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. She opened an office in 2014 and continues to grow and expand her knowledge into this evolving field of medicine. Rather than prescribing medications and bandaging diseases she looks for the "root causes" and integrates each system in the body together. She also looks at environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors which result in "dis-ease". Her continued and expanding practice utilizes bioidentical hormone replacement, thyroid and adrenal optimization, GI healing, peptide therapy, ozone therapy, PRP hair therapy, as well as body contouring and weight management.

In 2011 he launched Adrian Graphics & Marketing. His success set the stage for a new career aimed at helping others achieve similar success. But he still felt something was missing. It was on a visit to Spain where he reconnected with his heritage that a lightbulb went on! Adrian recounts the moment, “with the knowledge that I have who can I impact and help most in the world?" That was the moment when Adrian realized his path - helping ‘at risk’ youth who were also told that they would never achieve anything significant. Shortly after this he launched Instagraphics, a creative and collaborative network aimed at helping graphic designers thrive in both their personal and professional lives. Instagraphics leads by example with unwavering integrity, old-fashioned hard work, loyalty, perseverance in the face of adversity, humbleness and kindness. The network, found at https://instagraphics.com/ is the cornerstone of the brand, supported foundationally by https://instagraphicsacademy.com/, featuring courses, guides and programs that empower students to increase their income and improve their skillsets. Adrian has shared the stage with entrepreneurs and motivational speakers including Tom Bilyeu, Jeff Hoffman, Alec Stern and Brian Tracy. With his experience Adrian offers his top advice to those seeking out an entrepreneurial path: 1. Success Comes from within 2. Be Proud of What you Stand For 3. Success is Mindset of Abundance – A little positivity goes a long way. 4. Be Open-minded and resilient 5. Be a Lifelong Learner

Discover Cincinnati BY TERRY CARROLL

It’s early April, and my wife, Wendy, and I are thinking about doing something fun for our 20th wedding anniversary. Hawaii seems like a good choice, but the Covid travel restrictions are a bit onerous. How about Santa Monica—the place where a lot of our courtship took place, and a piece of the world we love? “No, I’ve got it! Let’s go to Ohio—Cincinnati to be exact!” Wendy turns, looks at me, and with a big smile says: “Yes! That's perfect.” Though we’ve been fortunate to visit many places throughout the world, there’s always something new and interesting to be found in the thousands of cities and towns here in the U.S.—and in this new (almost) post-COVID time, it's a great time to explore them. First up, we checked out Cincinnati's Tourism Bureau, which lead us to

21c Museum Hotel

Southwest and United offered good options. Of course, choosing the right hotel to stay at was the most important choice. We were looking for something comfortable, centrally located, and more “boutique” than business. After some research, we zeroed in on a hotel that checked all the boxes: 21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati (21cmuseumhotels. com/cincinnati). Situated in the heart of the city, this boutique hotel is a multi-venue contemporary art museum, has an awardwinning restaurant and is an easy walk to almost anywhere, including a tram stop around the corner. Speaking of the city’s streetcar (the “Cincinnati Bell Connector”), it takes you through most of downtown in around 20 minutes, is comfortable, and free. After an easy check-in and quick look around the hotel’s exquisite art collection, we

were off to the Great American Ball Park (mlb.com/reds/ballpark) to see the Reds host the Pirates: our first in-person ballgame in almost two years! Watching the Reds—baseball’s first professional franchise— win 14-1 from great seats in a beautiful park made for an ideal introduction to the city. Walking back to the hotel, we stopped at a trendy Mexican/South American cantina called Nada (eatdrinknada.com) for some small bites and a glass of wine. There’s something about outdoor café dining in a small “big” city (a little smaller than Sacramento) that I’ve always loved, and this fit the bill perfectly. Day two meant a visit to one of the main attractions on our agenda: the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden (cincinnatizoo. org). This wonderful zoo—the second oldest in the U.S.—is consistently voted as one of the best in the nation and houses more than 500 animals and 3,000 plant species. It holds a special place in many people’s hearts, because of the January 2017 premature birth of Fiona the hippo who became an Internet sensation. At 29 pounds, Fiona was born at less than half the size of a normal baby hippo, and that’s where the story begins with the staff going to extreme measures— along with the zoo team, local hospitals, NICU nurses, and all kinds of specialists—to keep this little girl alive. Fiona is now four-and-a-half and close to 2,000 pounds. She and her mom, Bibi, are one of the zoo’s highlights. Plan on spending the day here, because, along with the hippos, there are giraffes (which you can feed!) gorillas, lions, rhinos (another baby!), cheetahs, manatees, and and so more. After, it was back to the hotel where we were given a private tour of their art exhibition by the Museum Manager (and artist in his own right) Michael Hurst—one of the many things that makes this property, and all the hotel’s other locations, so special. The founders of 21c, Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson, are contemporary art collectors and preservationists, specifically 21st century art (hence the hotel's name). Hurst guided us through the current exhibition, Dress Up, Speak Up (21cmuseumhotels.com/cincinnati/blog/2020/take-a-virtualtour) which takes up the first two floors of the hotel. This specially

21c Museum Hotel

comissioned curated collection features works from renowned artists such as Fahamu Pecou, Jody Paulsen, Firelei Báez, Carlos Gamez de Francisco and many others, and is a marvel to behold. One of the unique features of the hotel is not only their rotating exhibitions, but art is everywhere within the hotel; the walls of the elevator, the landing on every floor, pieces in every guest room—including the bathroom which featured custom body-part (think nose, lips) tiles by Cincinnatibased Rookwood Pottery Company—even the lobby desk is a work of art. You could spend your entire trip just gazing at this massive collection throughout the property. Even cooler is one of the missions behind the hotel: “the belief that art can be a vital part of daily life and a spark to ignite new energy and ideas.” To that end, the museum’s exhibition is open 24/7/365 and free to the public (though during COVID, reservations are required, and times are limited). That evening we dined at the hotel restaurant: Metropole (metropoleonwalnut.com). This is a hotel restaurant whose design would be fitting in any great city—from NYC to London or Berlin. It’s open and airy with the kitchen and staff in full view. After ordering our usual glasses of pinot noir, our knowledgable and convivial server, Jeremy, brought us a taste of a South African red blend: Lubanzi. He said if we were predisposed to pinot, we might find this wine interesting. He nailed it, and we ordered a bottle. We had the Crispy Deviled Eggs to start that were deliciously indulgent.

Tunnels under the defunct Kauffmann Brewery

Eckerlin Meats

into the bowels of St. Francis Seraph Church where headstones and remains of 41 early Cincinnati citizens can be found in their crypt; and through the recently rediscovered and excavated chilly underground tunnels of the Dean's Mediterranean defunct Kauffmann Brewery to see Findlay Market Imports where beer was made by countless brewers before and during prohibition in the ’20s and ’30s. While they haven’t produced for decades, the smell of hops and yeast still hung in the air. It’s on the menu caught my always nice to be with eye: Jam and Cheese Toast The Arepa Place a guide who loves featuring grilled sourdough what they do, has with fresh blueberry jam and Gouda cheese.

simply in awe of all the different types—and their curated collection of teas can be purchased online too. Just a couple of doors down, we came to Dean’s Mediterranean Imports (mediterranean-imports. com), a combination of deli, market, and rare spice shop where you can buy as little or as much as you want and need. This place oozed history, with old-world spices filling the air and selections of cooking items that would appeal to the best chefs in the world. Tip: try their falafel wrap. Around the corner we came upon another staple business of the market, Eckerlin Meats (eckerlinmeats.com), founded in 1852 and now managed by Josh Lillis, a sixth generation family member. Impressed by the overall selection, we enjoyed their specialty product called goetta—a mixture of pork, beef, oatmeal, onions, and spices, formed into a loaf, and cooked slowly. It s been a part of Cincinnati cuisine since the first German immigrants arrived. Sweet, smoky, and served fried, I think it would settle in next to eggs over easy and hash browns quite well. Next up, Taste of Belgium (authenticwaffle.com)—Cincinnati’s favorite waffle shop started by Jean-François Flechet in 2007. Though pretty full at this point, after listening to team member Michael Polk explain the company's philosophy, and watching him prepare the original waffle topped with strawberries and whipped cream for us, how could we possibly resist? Yeah, we devoured the delicious treat in a matter of seconds—we couldn’t help ourselves! We left Barbara and the market, thanking her for a delightful tour that really opened our eyes to the city, its culture, history, and culinary treats. Our last day started with some spa therapy at The Spa at 21c, which was exactly what we needed. After two days of walking practically non-stop, our bodies were ready for some pampering. I opted for a facial and Wendy opted for a massage, which she described as “one of the best massages I’ve ever had!” While we were then thoroughly relaxed and wanted to go back to our room for a nap, we hunkered down and continued to explore, heading first for a quick bite at Wahlburgers (wahlburgers.com) and a little shopping at the storied hat shop adjacent to the hotel, Batsakes, which opened in 1907 and offers off-the-rack or custom-made caps. At this point, we couldn’t walk another step, so we took advantage of the free Cincinnati Bell Connector streetcar taking the 3.6-mile round trip journey through The Banks, downtown and Overthe-Rhine. As we packed our bags to head home, I couldn’t help but think what a terrific time we had in Cincinnati—our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer and enjoy even more of this grand city’s delights. Cincinnati is picturesque and steeped in rich history, but the real takeaway was the people—some of the nicest I’ve encountered in all my travels around the world. I asked Wendy if she would want to come back, and her answer put our entire trip into perspective. “Come back? Heck, I’d move here!” I couldn’t have said it any better myself. JUNE 2021 |

BF Miyabi

BY LORN RANDALL // PHOTOS BY DANTE FONTANA

think my editors must cringe when they assign me to a sushi restaurant— they know I’m going to “roll” right through my budgetary stop sign. Fortunately, they’re great people, and I try not to abuse them too severely. But when I saw the options and quality at BF Miyabi, I sensed there might have to be some negotiating later. My server was diligent in pointing out that it was happy hour, and I would be remiss if I didn’t order a sake oyster shooter. I hate being remiss, so I accepted her offer, and then later, I ordered a scallop shooter…so much for being remiss. I ordered hamachi carpaccio from the small plates menu, to start. Chefs Bryan Hoong and Frank Zhu (the B&F in BF Miyabi) hit a home run

Sake Toro Nigiri

with this dish, and not just the beautiful presentation and skilled knife work complementing the delicate buttery flavor of the yellowtail. The surprise wasn’t the slight heat from razor-thin jalapeño nor the citrusy ponzu and briney tobiko, either: It was the faint whisper of truffle oil that united land and sea. Next, a wonderfully subtle offering of raw salmon belly from the chef: sake toro nigiri. Lightly dressed in their house-made marinade and just kissed by a torch, this dish exemplified the difference between fresh and commercially frozen salmon. For the main course, Chef Bryan presented me with the deluxe sushi combo, which, on my visit, included torched red snapper, anago-saltwater eel, sake toro, ebi (shrimp), hamachi toro, and a spider roll (soft-shell crab with avocado, cucumber, and tobiko). The items came presented bento box-style—each in its own cubicle. Once again, the fish was the star of the show—not over-sauced or doused in over-the-top condiments, which is often the case with sushi—just great product and clean, simple presentation…a winner in my book. I also took the liberty of having deep-fried ice cream for dessert; what the heck, I avoided all the carbs from the sushi rice (at least that’s what

I’m reporting). I’ve never had DFIC from a sushi restaurant, so I was curious. It’s different from the type you might find in many restaurants whereby they roll ice cream in bits of precooked, crumbled, fry coating. In this preparation, the ice cream was rolled in sliced pound cake, refrozen, then dipped in tempura batter and deep-fried. Delicious! My social media foodie friends have unofficially ranked BF Miyabi as one of the top five sushi restaurants in the area, and I tend to agree. Please stop in and see for yourself!

That bit of mannering stuck with me most of my life—until experiencing Wing Mahal in Folsom. That life credo went flying out the restaurant window, as I devoured a plate of their incredibly flavorful Butter Chicken Wings and Tikka Masala Wings. Yes, you read that right. Wing Mahal crossbred an American staple with the flavors of India, and it works—so well, in fact, that I was startled by the ease in which I ignored all forethought of manners and, yes, licked…a lot. The sauces are made in-house by the owners, and there are 13 to choose from—listed on a “heat scale”—including all the traditional fan favorites like garlic parmesan, lemon pepper, BBQ, and buffalo hot; plus others for extreme heat-seekers, like mango habenero, dry-rubbed Mumbai spice, and Punjabi BBQ, which are at the top of the “I’m-gonna-need-milk” scale.

Where We Live Local resident Chris Maehr takes advantage of a balmy summer evening on Folsom Lake. He coined the term "Wake Surf Wednesday" where all his friends are invited to join him for an after-work sunset cruise.

DID YOU KNOW?

FUN FOLSOM LAKE FACTS Two major campgrounds are located on the lake: Peninsula Campground (more remote; accessible by boat or via Rattlesnake Bar Road from Pilot Hill) and Beal's Point (adjacent to a beach, snack bar, and other amenities). Go fish! Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass can all be caught at Folsom Lake, in addition to rainbow trout, kokanee salmon, crappie, bluegill, and catfish. Folsom Lake—which has a surface area of 11,500 acres, elevation of 466 feet, and 75 miles of undulated shoreline—is the ninth largest reservoir in California.

The lake was a significant mining site during the California Gold Rush of 1849. At its heyday in 1853, “Mormon Island”—an approximately 300feet sandbar where gold was found by members of the Mormon Battalion— had a population of 2,500, in addition to multiple motels, saloons, and a school.
