Summer means FUN for all ages! Take a Hike Time for the Farmers Markets in Lincoln Perfect Picnics for Warm Weather
t doesn't matter how old one gets. I think we all look at the end of the school year with memories from our childhood. I remember being about 7years-old, and just as school was ready to let out for the summer, I asked my parents if they had the summer off like kids did. This is especially funny to me now, because for the first 10 years of my life, my dad was a wedding photographer. Being a self employed photographer myself, I can assure you that having the summer off is not even remotely a possibility ... ah, the innocence of children. Thinking about the lazy summer days of childhood, where our imaginations dictated the activities of the day, I began to wonder if kids of today are much different than the generations before them. I remember catching pollywogs with my brother, going to our neighbor's house as they performed plays for the neighborhood families, playing outside for hours on end (sometimes so that my mom's freshly waxed kitchen floor could dry), and riding my bike to get an Icee, while trying to out pedal whatever dog tried to chase me down that day. Speaking with kids from about age 8 to high-school age, I asked the question, What are you looking forward to doing this summer? The overwhelming response was, Were going to hang out with our friends and play video games. I also heard, Yeah, theres nothing to do around here except play video games. With many of the kids, I also inquired if any of them were going to do anything to earn money. A few said they were going to babysit or do chores to earn extra cash. I know that not
It's not clear how much money Carson Meachim made selling mud pies but getting dirty and having fun was what it was all about. Sometimes, the simplest activities in life are the most fun ... winter, spring, summer or fall.

What hasnt changed over the generations is our fascination with baseball. Just as kids once idolized the baseball heroes of the 40s and 50s, today's youth watch their favorite teams make memories that can be told for generations to come.
all of the 21st century kids are going to situate themselves in front of their televisions and game consoles from June through August, but of all the kids I spoke with, many of them were looking forward to activities that involved current technology. Asking fellow Rotarians about their summer activities was like walking through the streets of Mayberry. Ninety-three-year-old Tony "Stix" Bellacera recalled so vividly his childhood summers.
To earn extra money, he would go to the local pretzel factory, purchase a dozen pretzels for 1 cent each and resell them two for 5 cents ... what an entrepreneur! He spoke with some wonder when he boasted about seeing Jackie Robinson play at Ebbets Field years later. Elizabeth Jansen and Mayer Stan Nader both told of their youthful summers spent in Lincoln. Whether it was putting an inner-tube into Auburn Ravine and drifting down to the cemetery or riding their bikes to the clay pits, they always knew it was time to go home when the 5 oclock whistle blew at Gladding, McBean. Jansen seemed to especially enjoy telling of the days when the grain was delivered to the silos. Kids would flatten out cardboard boxes, walk up to the
top of the grain piles that could be as much as two stories high and glide down their newly delivered, albeit temporary, slide. The good old days, just like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Although older generations may not think that the childhoods of todays youth can compare to what they experienced, there is no rulebook for how to spend your summer break. Memories are created by doing activities we enjoy (and maybe a little youthful mischief). Whether your fifth-grade best friend is still in your life, in whatever generation we're a part of, we can close our eyes, feel the warm summer sun on our backs and take a stroll down memory lane.
The dirt trail of Dry Creek Trail offers refreshing views of the creek, dozens of varieties of plants and a pleasant temperature drop compared to the heat of the beautiful sun-drenched fields and path that are just yards away.

alifornia offers its residents and visitors a range of activities that can be done in the great outdoors. If you're looking for something to do for a summer vacation, a weekend or just a day trip, you'll easily find something to do in Placer County. If you've never been on a hike before, the word "hike" might be a little intimidating. When you first learned to walk, you took it easy with one step at a time. That's exactly the way one should approach hiking. You don't have to look
at your first excursion as hiking Mt. Everest. A hike is an opportunity to enjoy the wonder of nature, some great companionship with a friend, the fresh air and get in some wonderful exercise. Before you do embark on a hike, there are a few items that you'll want to make sure you have with
you to make your adventure enjoyable. Comfortable shoes are a must, a bottle of cool water, a hat, some sunscreen and insect repellant. The most important rule to remember is to never hike alone! Dry Creek Trail in Roseville, a stone's throw from Lincoln, is noviceand family-friendly. There are two paths that can be taken, running (for the most part) parallel to one another. The city of Roseville did a wonderful job creating a nice wide, paved bike/stroller/jogging path that is easily maneuverable. If you'd prefer a little

continued from 3 more terrain under your feet, then take the compacted dirt path. As my daughter and I walked along the tree canopied path, we were pleasantly surprised by the drop in temperature by staying on the less-manicured trail. Although we were off the paved road, we realized that most of it would be very accessible to some strollers and mountain bikers. The entire trail is about 1.7 miles (3.4-miles round trip) with many surprises along the way. About 10 minutes into our hike, we discovered something we didn't know was part of the hike - a beautiful running stream. As we walked along the shore, some of it was more accessible than others. In the summertime, this would be an excellent place to bring the kids for a little fun in the water and maybe a picnic lunch. Remember, anytime you're out swimming in a lake, stream or river, a life jacket should be worn. Those who are more adventurous might want something a little more challenging, such as white-water rafting. It really is something that everyone should experience at least once. There are many rafting companies in the area and All Outdoors California White Water Rafting is one that offers five levels of rafting tours. Families with young children can enjoy the rafting experience as well as experienced rafters who want the challenge of a Class V tour. Taking a family on a rafting tour is not inexpensive so this might be something that a family wants to plan for. The modern-day version of "playing in the backyard sprinklers" is the in-ground water system at many water parks. In addition to the big themed water parks, many neighborhood parks and even shopping centers have adopted this attraction.
Lake Tahoe is a wonderful day trip for those who want to hike and swim in a cooler climate. The lake is enjoyed from sun-up to sun-down.
Next time someone tells you to take a hike or jump in the lake, you can say Gladly, would you like to join me? I know just the place.
The Fountains in Roseville appropriately features a play area for kids that has in-ground jets that squirt water upward. Once the warmer months come along, it's not unusual to see dozens of kids playing in the well structured, and protected, area. With lots of insulated foam installed in the area, slipping doesn't appear to be as much of an issue and it's a great
place to take your toddlers and preschoolers for some fun and inexpensive water time. Although it's a couple hours away, don't forget about the many possibilities that the Lake Tahoe region has to offer. The sparkling snow-covered views are replaced with views of mountains that are embedded with beautiful evergreens. The Tahoe area will be more
comfortable for a midsummer hike. Swimming on the shores of the 2 million-year-old freshwater lake is a refreshing break from the heat and the beauty of this historic area is enjoyed by worldwide travelers. Next time someone tells you to "take a hike" or "jump in the lake," you can say "Gladly, would you like to join me? I know just the place."

low as possible. But we have to remember there is a real cost associated with those services and although CMS has done a great job in trying to keep costs low, what they allow for a service doesn't always equate to that real cost, nor does it allow for a provider to make a profit. Of course, when we talk about tax dollars, some of us don't care if providers make a profit but providers need to make money too or they would go out of business. Talk about a business being too big to fail. It would not do us any good for providers to go out of business.

prices with what Medicare actually pays in hopes to give the public a better idea of what those charges actually cost a hospital. That is, in my opinion, a far leap to come to the conclusion that what Medicare pays for any medical service is actually what it costs for that service. Remember, when we
talk about what CMS pays for medical services, we are talking about the government using our tax dollars to pay for the medical care of the elderly and the indigent. They have a responsibility to ensure they judicially use our tax dollars wisely. It makes sense to keep their reimbursement as low as possible to keep taxes as

INSURANCE: Healthcare reform is working to cut costs, add value but has resulted in backlash
continued from 9 Currently, CMS uses the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) method to ensure that the yearly increase in the expense per Medicare beneficiary does not exceed the growth in GDP . The problem is when there are valid reasons for the increase in expense, like we find ourselves in now, with the cost of new technologies and baby boomers coming into the system quickly. The SGR adjusts for these costs with major cuts in reimbursement to providers in order to not exceed GDP . Providers cannot absorb

these large cuts to their reimbursement as it would surely put them out of business. Healthcare reform is working to cut the cost of providing medical care in America and in turn require providers to show a value to the service they provide for, which is a good thing when it comes to our tax dollars. However, the backlash of this over the years is that insurance companies have jumped on this bandwagon and have worked hard to make an impression on the public that providers are evil and charge too much for the care they provide. It is a valid request to ask providers to be prudent with our tax dollars but to in turn villianize them for wanting to make a profit is wrong. Private insurance companies have had their hands in your back pocket for years as they point the finger at providers. In order for providers to be able to take care of Medicare and
Medicaid patients they have had to pass a higher cost on to those who can afford it. However, insurance companies saw a way to line their pockets with more money by crying wolf. They increase your premiums every year like clock work yet pay providers less each year, all under the cloak of regulations set by CMS. They are currently working hard behind the scenes to ensure that CMS is the law of the land with no oversight on how much they gouge you. We need to ensure the
information being released is fair and balanced on both sides. It is important as consumers that we educate ourselves and not be carried away on the whim of propaganda. We have an opportunity to change healthcare in America but lets not be fooled by the fools.

Ask the Master Gardener: What to consider when choosing organic or synthetic fertilizer
Question: Why should I buy organic fertilizer when synthetic fertilizer is usually cheaper, contains a higher percentage of the basic nutrients and shows quicker growth? Answer: Aha! When you seek the best buy for your money and the best fertilizer for your lawn and plants, there is more to the story than meets the casual eye. First, it is best to analyze your soil to evaluate what it needs before you fertilize. A plant can need up to 14 mineral nutrients from its growing medium. The primary nutrients, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), are commonly found in most fertilizers organic and synthetic. But plants also may need secondary nutrients calcium (ca), magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S). These minerals are those elements essential
nal Nature Bioscience estimates that almost half the people on Earth are currently fed as a result of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer use. 2) They work quickly as the nitrogen is usually in plant-available form. 3) They are currently more affordable (except when compared to homemade compost, which is free). 4) The plants do not know the difference between organic and synthetic.
Cons of synthetic fertilizer: 1) They can burn your
plants if used in excess. 2) Since nitrogen is mobile in the soil and the form is water soluble leaching occurs. You many think you have applied nitrogen at a rate of 15 percent of total content, but over half may have disap-
peared through water runoff or irrigation moved the nitrogen below the roots of the plants you are fertilizing. You are not getting what you paid for. And since the fertilizer is not held in the soil, you must apply often. 3) The non-nutrient filler used in the fertilizer contains salts and other compounds. These are not absorbed by the plants so they are left behind in the soil and build up over time. These compounds can alter the chemistry of the soil and make it less ideal for planting over time. 4) Runoff also is not environmentally friendly to our waterways. Nitrogen fertilizer runoff is a primary cause of dead zones in our waters; any nitrates not taken up by plant roots move quickly down through the root zone and enter ground water. There are potential
health risks identified with nitrates in drinking water. 5) The natural gas necessary in the production of nitrogen fertilizers is unsustainable; hydraulic fracking is normally used to extract it. 6) The fast growth associated with these fertilizers results in thin-walled plant cells, which are more susceptible to pests and pathogens. 7) Synthetics also usually contain only primary nutrients NPK. 8) They do not nurture the microbiological life in the soil.
Pros of organic fertilizer:
1) Secondary and trace minerals are commonly included in the organic sources. 2) Limited amounts of fossil fuels are used in production, potentially lowering the amount of greenhouse gas that is released into the atmosphere. 3) Most organic sources are water insoluble and will not
leach (exception: raw manure). 4) This insolubility decreases the runoff of nutrients into local water. 4) When used over a long period of time, organic fertilizer enhances the soil structure and increases the efficiency of nutrient utilization. 5) With the long duration of nutrient availability, you apply this fertilizer less often. (This applies also to slowrelease synthetic.) 7) Increases pest resistance due to normal growth rate. 8) Low in salts (except for manure, which should be composted.) Cons of organic fertilizer: 1) They may be messy and smelly (fish oils and
emulsions) and require more work to apply. 2) They may be cost prohibitive on a large scale operation. 3) The release of nutrients generally rises and falls with soil temperatures and microorganisms activity. 4) Immature compost added to the soil may result in nitrogen tieup as the microorganisms use soil nitrogen to break down organic matter. Also, immature compost may harbor pathogens that could cause a food safety issue if used near edible plants. Now you can make an educated choice. Have gardening question?

Recently, a toddler was left in a car during a hot day in Indiana, and when rescuers arrived, the inside measured 124 degrees and the child was having seizures.

Summers in the Sacramento Valley can be dangerous to pets if you dont take precautions and recognize signs that your pet may be overheated. Some breeds are more susceptible than others; however, any dog can suffer from heat stroke. If not recognized and
treated early, heat stroke can cause brain damage, organ failure, seizure and death. Recognize the signs: Increased pulse Increased body temperature Panting Red to purple gums (usually a dogs gums are a healthy pink color) Increased salivation or dry gums A wobbly gait, weakness, collapse or seizure. A key to successful recovery is recognizing the signs and getting treatment in a timely manner. If the signs of heat stroke are observed, you can wet the dog, cool the pet down with a fan

and transport your pet to the veterinarian. Do not place the pet in an ice water bath. This can cool the pet too rapidly and can result in serious damage or death. Heat stroke is an emergency and your veterinarian should be contacted immediately. Ways to beat the heat: Shave long-haired dogs during summer months to help prevent overheating Always have plenty of cool water available for your dog Provide shaded areas or air conditioning for your pets, especially during the hottest hours of the day Do not exercise pets during hottest hours of the day. Take walks in the early morning or late

evening hours (but be on the lookout for rattlesnakes). Do not leave your dog in a parked car for any length of time, even with windows cracked. Temperatures climb rapidly, even when it is 75 degrees outside. A good rule of thumb is that if you are hot or overheated, so is your pet. If you would not walk barefoot on asphalt at noon on a 100-degree day, your pet shouldnt either. Summer is a fun time of year but use common sense when the temperature rises.

ts that time of year when many residents notice those extra pounds they put on over the winter months (maybe last years summer wardrobe doesnt fit anymore) and the thought of putting on a swimsuit and going to the beach causes dread and self-loathing. Goals are shirked. Excuses are made. But its not too late to feel good about yourself and make positive changes. Did you know that twothirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese? Carrying around excess fat increases your risk for many diseases, such as type-two diabetes and heart disease. Aside from the serious health risks, being overweight can cause low energy and low self-esteem, negatively affecting quality of life. Chances are you know what you have to do to lose weight and feel great. Eat a balanced diet and enjoy an active lifestyle that you can maintain for life. But the biggest obstacle to weight loss is often a mental one. Your attitude toward these lifestyle changes can make or break your weight loss goals. This is where hiring a personal trainer can help.
If youve been trying to lose weight, a personal trainer may be the missing piece in all your past weight-loss efforts. Whether youre stepping into the health club for the first time or you are a seasoned member, the trainer will help you through the tough times when you normally would have given in on your own.

Having an individualized plan to meet your unique needs can alleviate some of the overwhelming feelings you may have in trying to reach your weight-loss goals so you can focus on getting healthy. 4. Trainers will tell a few jokes if they have time. Personal trainers take their job seriously but theyre also highly entertaining. Belly laughs count as exercise! 5. Trainers will bring you water when you are thirsty. Dont be afraid to ask for it since youre paying for it. 6. Trainers will let you rest between sets.

he summer is about to begin and youre already thinking about how youll spend a lazy weekend. You might rather stay at home, relax in the hammock and maybe listen to your favorite baseball game. However, the family has a different idea. They want to go on a picnic! Now, the tough questions: where to go and what to pack in the cooler? If you have young kids, you may want to stick with a Lincoln neighborhood park; one that has lots of grass where they can run around or where there is a really awesome play structure that will keep them enter-
tained while you unpack the picnic. Recently, I stumbled on a relatively new park in Roseville. Aldo Conrad Pineschi Sr. Park is situated right in the middle of the neighborhood on Highland Park Drive and has a rocketship play structure that any little astronaut would have a great time with. Because its a newer park, there arent a lot of shade trees. However, it does have a covered picnic area as well as a half-court basketball court and a very large turf area to start up a friendly game of soccer or catch. If youre looking for a more established park or one with more natural atmosphere, then Clover Valley Park in Rocklin
would be the perfect setting for your picnic. Theres a historic granite bridge with a creek that runs underneath, both situated next to rows of enormous shade trees. Laying down your favorite blanket or setting up at one of the picnic tables, this would be a great place to have a romantic picnic for two or a fun-filled family afternoon. Park swing sets are not like they were when I was a kid and this park has a playground that will have your child running from one apparatus to the other. Now that youve figured out where to have fun, you have to decide what to feed the appetite that will grow in all that fresh air.

PICNIC: Sandwiches are clean and easy; add some produce and a pasta salad for a perfect meal
continued from 17 Packing the perfect picnic meal can be as easy as going to your favorite market to collect prepared food or making your own delicacies at home before you pack the family into the car and head off for a day of fun. Anyone can throw a bologna sandwich and some chips into a bag so why not get a little creative and kick your menu into high gear. Sandwiches are a popular picnic food because theyre easy to prepare, most everyone likes them and they usually arent too messy. Chicken salad is a great quick and easy dish because it can be simply made and also made a little more elegant. Instead of baking or boiling your own chicken, you can purchase a roasted chicken from the store. Combined with some fresh summer produce and a unique presentation, this sandwich is a hit at the picnic table.
Once the chicken salad is made, cut the ends off the baguette, and with a long knife carve out the dough of the bread. When youre finished you should have a long, hollow loaf of bread. Carefully stuff the baguette with the finished chicken salad. Once at your picnic location, you can slice the bread accordingly. If your family isnt a fan of chicken salad, feel free to substitute tuna or egg salad.
Saute asparagus tips in garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper until tender. Add to the pasta along with the basil and
olives. Toss to mix. Adjust seasonings as necessary. Refrigerate 1 hour or longer before serving.

ith summer just around the corner, people will be gathering for barbecues and parties. For those who struggle with weight, these activities present an entirely different problem: how to lose weight without skipping the treats and insulting the hosts. As someone who has battled weight since my early 20s, I understand the dilemma. I always felt self-conscious when attending functions such as these. I would often hear comments like, Well, you certainly dont eat very much for being a big guy or Here comes somebody with a healthy appetite. As someone who weighed
The season for barbecues and parties is coming up. For those who struggle with weight, remember these tips to stay healthy this summer.

So, lets look at ways to help curb cravings, make healthier choices and maybe bring a dish to the potluck so you know there will be something on your healthy eating plan.
303 pounds at my heaviest, these comments and actions stung, doing nothing to help
improve my self image or motivate me to lose weight. Today, I weigh 179, having lost 124
pounds between January 2011 and May 2013. The real trick? Keeping it off.

BARBECUE: Keeping healthy snacks around the house will prevent you from giving in to sweets
continued from 19 oil and balsamic vinegar or simple lemon to drizzle over the salad). At Empire Ranch Golf Course in Folsom, where I regularly eat lunch with a group, I order the green salad with grilled chicken. The salads are often hidden in a weird spot on menus or are seen as a leadin to the main special. If the salads are small, order two. Stick with grilled or baked, not fried. If the dish is batter dipped and deep fried, you may as well slap it to your thighs. Avoid sauces, or what I call liquid calorie obfuscation devices. If something is buried in gravy, its probably not on your healthy eating plan. Vegetables are your friends, unless they bring along that bad influence known as butter. In some restaurants, they cook the veggies to death then slather
them in butter or drown them in a fat-rich sauce. Ask for grilled or steamed veggies. They are your best option.
NOT-POTATO SALAD
INGREDIENTS:
1 head steamed cauliflower (mashed) 3 Tbs. nonfat plain yogurt Regular mustard (to taste) A few dashes of apple cider vinegar 1-2 chopped dill pickles (or a few Tbs. of dill relish) 1 chopped sweet pickle (or a Tbs. of sweet pickle relish) Salt Pepper 1 clove crushed garlic (optional) Handful of chopped black olives 2 chopped boiled eggs 1/2 chopped onion (optional) 2 small mashed potatoes (optional, to thicken) Serve chilled
Healthy snacks
I cant keep anything in my home which would derail my progress during moments of weakness. Potato chips, ice cream, cookies and their ilk cant be found in my fridge or cupboards. I do keep plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as the occasional protein bar (chocolate or peanut butter for me). Finally, if youre going to a pot luck or barbecue, bring along a dish you know fits into your new healthy lifestyle, like the not-potato salad(see recipe in inset). I served this at a recent gathering and it was a hit, even with the non-vegetarians.
After you steam your cauliflower, make sure its very dry (pat down with paper towels if you must). If there is too much water, it makes for a thin dish. If its too thin, mash in two small baked potatoes to help thicken the mixture.
Substitute steamed, mashed cauliflower to create not potato salad. The recipe also replaces mayonnaise with nonfat plain yogurt.

months, youll hear more about the strategic action plan created by the Economic Development Committee, which includes creating marketing collateral materials such as a demographic profile of the city, a list of existing available retail spaces, a new-business packet, and a developer and investment packet. The goals are to ensure
near-term actions are helping to retain and expand existing businesses, that information targets and reaches the right audiences, and that new businesses are directed to the most appropriate sites. In addition to the above, the chambers study mission committee completed its research and has identified two areas within this region that can offer a balanced review of four important elements facing Lincoln: business vitality following the installation of a bypass; downtown business community revitalization; agri-business emphasis; and experience with a business incubator program. Meeting with stakeholders in communities facing similar business opportunities and
challenges will be invaluable to us as we continue to develop our strategic path to greater business and economic success. To say were excited and energized would be an understatement. Please continue to follow the updates that will follow right here. In the meantime, Ill look for you at the Downtown Lincoln Farmers Markets, starting Thursday, June 13 at 5 p.m. For more information on the Lincoln Area Chamber of Commerce, please check online at lincolnchamber.com or call us at the chamber office at 6452035.
