s it just me or is time flying by at Mach speed? Seriously, folks, I don’t mean to kill the mood, but the sand in the hourglass is slipping slightly quicker these days. Even as I sit here, working on a fast-approaching deadline, time is ticking like a train, the high-speed kind, and not on my side. Then there are things that happened 10 years ago, and I look back and it feels like only a few calendars have passed. It’s frightening sometimes. Like when the mental image I had of myself started to contrast with what the mirror showed. I’m getting less concerned with how time will transform me though—I think because I have accepted what I know will happen.

Some perks with the passing of time are getting to know and accept who you are, and in turn developing a better relationship with vanity.

One thing many say is an effective anti-ager is reducing stress, a.k.a. enjoying life. Lucky for you, the Fountain of Youth awaits you this month in Style’s 2013 Summer Fun Guide, packed with a plethora of activities, events, festivals, fairs, camps, concerts and much more to keep your family’s itinerary for fun full.

Also this month, and just in time for the holiday, get some hot tips for impressing guests at your 2013 Fourth of July celebration. Local expert and awardwinning interior designer, Kerrie Kelly shares her “8 Independence Day Party Ideas” that are practical and affordable, yet chic…and will make any great get-together even better.

Another hot topic warming up the month is the subject of youth sexting. In Our Kids, Jenn Thornton opens parents’ eyes in her piece, “Risky Business,” in which you’ll find a quick list of common sexting codes. Don’t let time pass you by when it comes to your kids and staying abreast of their technology usage. There are many dangers involved with virtual relationships, and youth sexting can signal this type of connection.

One more thing before you get started with your summer fun, do you love your pets? Then don’t miss having them featured in Style’s annual People & their Pets pictorial spread coming in August 2013.

To be featured, we need your photos now! Please email photos of you and your pet, or just your pet, along with the names of those pictured and the city where you reside to info@stylemg.com. Deadline is July 5.

Until next month, keep in mind that we only have the sun for a limited amount of time—go soak it up!

asktheexperts is permissive use coverage Q: What on a car insurance policy? Are there state restrictions to this coverage that I should be aware of? most cases, if you give someone A: Inpermission to operate “your covered auto,” you will have coverage. However, you’re required to notify your insurance carrier of any licensed driver living in the same residence as you or anyone else who operates your vehicle on a regular basis; failure to do this may jeopardize coverage.

The insurance carrier may adjust your premium if there is a higher rated driver. If someone has their own car and their own insurance, the carrier may list them as a nonrated driver, which would not affect your premium. But, if someone has a bad record, your insurance carrier will usually exclude him or her. When in doubt, notify your agent or broker; it is always better to figure this out before someone wrecks your car.

—Terry D. McNeil, President T.D. McNeil Insurance Services 381 South Lexington, Suite 104, Folsom 916-983-2561, aintthataclaim.com things should I consider when Q: What choosing a prong setting for an engagement ring?

A:

The setting should be made to accommodate a stone’s size and shape, and only a highly trained jeweler should set the stone to ensure proper orientation for beauty, protection and longevity. It’s important to discuss with the sales associate what your expectation for how the ring will perform is. Your activity level or profession may make a high-set prong solitaire impractical; thereby, the associate may recommend a lower, broader prong or possibly a bezel set instead. The quality and type of metal is paramount; 14- or 18-karat gold and platinum are the most malleable and longest lasting. Proper casting or dyestriking methods eliminate porosity, which can cause weakness and loss. Lastly, to ensure the highest standard of ethics and workmanship, choose a jeweler who’s a member of the American Gem Society.

care to anyone in the local community, regardless of health insurance coverage.

Over the next three years, Ricks hopes to expand the hospital’s capabilities to include a cancer center, in addition to continuing to provide world-class patient care to area residents. Ricks has also been able to apply some of the lessons from his baseball days to his new career. “As a leader, you have to model the behaviors you want in the other members of your team,” Ricks says, adding that this philosophy can apply to all aspects of life. “I’m passionate about success,” he explains, “but success done the right way—so that other people benefit as well.”

ichael Ricks didn’t take the traditional path to a career in health care. During his college years, he played baseball for the Brigham Young University Cougars, all the while dreaming of a career in the pros. When that dream did not come to fruition, Ricks applied for a variety of internships, and by chance ended up working at a local hospital. The experience proved life changing. After finding his niche in the health care industry, Ricks went on to get a master’s degree in health administration and increasingly gravitated toward leadership roles. In October of last year, he became the new president of Mercy Hospital of Folsom, a non-profit medical center that provides

his is an exciting time for the city’s bikeway and trail network, with several new projects currently in the planning and construction stages. The 16-mile HumbugWillow Creek Trail is nearing completion, which will provide access to the state’s Lake Natoma Trail and connect to the American River Parkway system. Last year, the first phase of the Dos Coyotes segment and two bridges spanning the creek were added; now funding has been secured through a California Recreational Trails grant for the final 2,000 feet of trail, scheduled to begin construction in spring of 2014.

Also slated for early next year is the Levy Trail, a small segment that will connect Levy Park to the Humbug-Willow Creek Trail. This segment has also received funding through the state’s Recreational Trails Grant program, and includes one small wood bridge.

The new Johnny Cash Trail is scheduled to break ground this fall, named after the “Man in Black” and his famous song “Folsom Prison Blues.” This trail segment, located within Folsom State Prison property, borders Natoma Street for much of the way and also includes the city’s second bike/pedestrian overcrossing. The overcrossing will span Folsom Lake Crossing Road and include towers on both sides that resemble those of the prison. Fabrication of the overcrossing will be completed offsite, and then the two steel segments will be trucked to Folsom, bolted together on site, and lifted into position by crane in the overnight hours. Federal and state grants are funding the project’s $3.7 million costs.

The new Lake Natoma Waterfront Trail is expected to break ground this fall, providing a “passive” walking and hiking trail that includes portions of pavement and packed dirt. This state grant-funded project is a cooperative effort between Folsom, the Bureau of Reclamation, and State Parks to provide a fully accessible trail from the Historic District to the lakefront. The trail can also be used to access the American River Parkway.

In recognition of the city’s trail system and efforts to encourage cycling for transportation and recreation, the League of American Bicyclists recently honored Folsom as a Silver Level Bicycle Friendly City. With the upcoming additions to the trail system, as well as those planned for the future, the city strives to reach Gold Level status in 2016.

The Fat Rabbit Public House

A

s pets, in pop culture, and when naming pubs, rabbits are all the rage. When The Fat Rabbit Public House opened its doors in October of 2012, residents of Folsom and beyond (including yours truly) rejoiced. In the comfortable, convivial space—adorned with dark wood, stained glass windows, a mix of seating options, and slanted, beamed ceilings—patrons are treated to their favorite fare from across the pond, whether it’s schnitzel, shepherd’s pie, a Scotch egg, or fish and chips. Served with a brew and a side of laidback, genuine European hospitality, it’s no wonder customers hop in from sun up to down. My habitual order—placed at the bar, in true European pub fashion—is the Pierogies with a Pint of Boddingtons. These plump, doughy dumplings, stuffed with creamy mashed potatoes and sharp Cheddar cheese, then garnished with sweet caramelized onions and a side of sour cream, are my taste buds’ new best friends. The savory comfort food is available as a small plate, served three up for $4.50 ($3 during happy hour!), or a large plate, served five up for $7.50. The root word of pierogie, “pir,” means festival, and for good reason: one bite of Fat Rabbit’s version and there will be a party on your palate. The Fat Rabbit Public House, 825 Sutter Street, Folsom, 916-985-3289.

folsom film society Movie Magic Comes to Town

by Abigail Blank

F

ilms, movies, the show…regardless of what you call them, they are an iconographic part of American culture. Whether we enjoy the mirroring of ourselves in contemporary mainstream films, the what-ifs of wild futuristic science fiction, or the intrigue of independent films and their commentary on the world around us, one thing’s for sure—it’s a mission impossible to find someone who doesn’t partake in the silver screen.

In November of 2012, local film lovers Najma Merchant, Fidel Salas and Colleen Tamaru founded the Folsom Film Society (FFS). As their mission statement eloquently explains, the nonprofit’s goal is to provide “an exposure to the art of film through responsible programming and vision to broaden viewpoints and start meaningful conversations” for the residents of Folsom and the surrounding communities.

24 stylemg.com - June 2013

The films chosen by the FFS span a wide variety of topics and issues, some more controversial than others.

Najma Merchant (L) with viewers at a recent film screening at Three Stages

Merchant, the executive director, says there’s so much cinema and film happening around us that goes unnoticed by mainstream viewers. With this notion in mind, she and her partners decided it was time to “bring it local.”

“We were a little bit naive but ambitious,” Merchant says of the blind faith in their efforts. They jumped into establishing the organization without giving much thought to funding, not seeking any

assistance in the beginning. Instead, the group pooled their personal resources to get it off the ground—an emotionally charged endeavor to say the least. “It’s a very personal venture for all of us,” Merchant explains. Each of them brings their own skills and passions to the table in an effort to bring independent films to a wider audience.

Finding out what the community wants has been an ongoing experiment.

Merchant herself has been surprised by the different responses the FFS has received on various topics covered by the films shown thus far, noting sometimes the films with the fewest attendees have the most passionate viewers. “A lot of times, people who come to [see] these independent films want to discuss them.” Because of these impassioned film enthusiasts, the organization hosts informal discussion groups after the viewings. Whether one wishes to converse about the cinematography or the subject matter, all are encouraged to join the discussions sharing their thoughts and opinions.

The lack of a small theater in the local area creates challenges for the FFS, as the larger mainstream theaters have gone to digital big screens. They are grateful, however, to work with Three Stages at Folsom Lake College, where they’ve hosted screenings on the second Thursday of the month since their inception in November. What’s more, the FFS is now collaborating with the Folsom Public Library to provide a summer series of films shown on Sunday afternoons through August, after which they have plans to resume the Thursday screenings at Three Stages. Merchant says they are also working on a partnership with Folsom Lake College to create a media and film course, as well as an internship program.

The films chosen by the FFS span a wide variety of topics and issues, some more controversial than others. Merchant notes the more serious topics may have less patronage but often have a deeper impact on those who do attend. By perusing their Web site, one can find a catalogue of the films they’ve screened in the past months, from the fun and whimsical

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore—an allegory about the curative powers of books done in a hybrid style of animation, including miniatures, computer animation and 2D animation—to The Invisible War, a documentary dealing with the heavy and often polarizing topic of sexual assault within the military.

The FFS offers annual memberships to film aficionados like themselves. By making this tax-deductible donation, members are entitled to advanced notice of events, private member receptions and discounted tickets to screenings. There are also various ticket discounts available to students and seniors. As their membership grows and they begin to acquire grants and funding from various sources, plans are in place to expand their reach to large-scale events, such as guest lectures by filmmakers and industry professionals.

Merchant says all of her hard work is worthwhile, as people regularly come to her expressing their interest and intrigue in the films chosen. “For all of us, it’s been a really good experience because we see it’s not just us,” she says. By bringing lesser-known yet groundbreaking and thought-provoking independent films to smaller communities like Folsom, Merchant hopes to inspire a new generation of filmmakers and film lovers. In all, Merchant says her and her fellow founders know following their passion was the right decision. “We know we’re doing something worthwhile.”

late bloomers A Guide to Midlife Maternity

by Jenn Thornton

Photo © Alena Ozerova/fotolia.com

P

ushing 40 and preggers? No, this is not a reality show, but it is reality for an increasing number of women who have delayed pregnancy to pursue other plans or simply mature.

Although age absolutely affects reproduction rates, conceiving midlife does happen (shout-out to Kelly Preston and company). So even if you’re late to the pregnancy game, you’re not out. Here, Dignity Health’s Dr. Carrie Gordon, OB/ GYN with Mercy Hospital of Folsom, advises on what to expect when you’re expecting later in life.

EXPECT POSSIBILITIES Advancing maternal age is still associated with an increase in complications for both the mother and child. “Over-40 mothers are two to five percent more likely to have gestational diabetes, placental abnormalities, high blood pressure and miscarriage than younger women,” Dr. Gordon explains. “The baby is also at risk of genetic disorders such as Down syndrome, premature birth, low birth weight, asphyxia and stillbirth.”

EXPECT PROGRESS The above information, combined with the Center of Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) report that infertility affects about 11 percent of women (6.1 million), does not add up to the most favorable odds—but they’re not necessarily a deal breaker. “The options and availability for infertility treatments to women in the U.S. have improved over the past decades,” notes Dr. Gordon, crediting this progress for granting advancing-aged women, and those with significant medical problems, the opportunity to have a healthy preg-

nancy and delivery. She also relays that the number of women giving birth in their 40s and 50s is at record highs. “According to the CDC, the birth rate for these women has been increasing steadily for the last decade,” she adds. “This has been attributed to the improvement of reproductive medicine and prenatal care.”

EXPECT TO PROTECT It is essential to safeguard the body’s extremely fragile reproductive system.

Take the necessary steps to prevent STDs, many of which don’t exhibit signs of infection, making regular checkups essential. Choosing the right contraception can keep you on fertile ground, so discuss details with a doctor. Fibroids, endometriosis, diabetes and cancer can also impact fertility as one ages. Given this information, step up the protective measures—don’t smoke or expose yourself to toxins, maintain normal body weight, eat a well-balanced diet and exercise regularly. Adds Dr. Gordon, “Starting folic acid supplementation three to six months prior to planned conception

is recommended, and make sure that all existing health problems, like diabetes and high blood pressure, are under control. Having regular visits with your health care provider can help you optimize your health prior to conception.”

EXPECT A POSITIVE OUTCOME No pregnancy is without risk, but there are plenty of good-news post-40 pregnancy stories out there. “We are seeing over-40 pregnancies much more often that are successful,” confirms Dr. Gordon, crediting better medical care with advancements in cutting-edge infertility treatment for improving midlife mothers’ chances of conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy and delivery.

EXPECT EXPERIENCE TO COUNT “In some ways, age is an asset, not a liability,” Dr. Gordon notes. “As women mature they can become more emotionally ready to be a parent. More life experience and financial stability can accompany a pregnancy for the older and wiser.”

risky business The Truth About Youth Sexting

by Jenn Thornton

I

f you’re not talking to your kids about “sexting,” there’s someone in a chat room ready to have that conversation.

Here, a look at the latest.

THE ISSUE Typically kids, particularly those with poor self-worth or who are easily influenced, seek approval through “sexting.” Youth compelled to act by someone they love or trust are also vulnerable, especially teens, since they inherently struggle to see the

mon than parents realize—and that no child is immune to it—there are certain personalities more prone to persuasion, including kids with a strong need for romantic or sexual attention, those without media limits or supervision, and those with an intrinsic lack of forethought.

THE SEXTING EFFECT Initially, the cost of sexting might include possible humiliation and exploitation, while long-term social consequences include

Further points of discussion include lack of control. Explain that information doesn’t disappear because it’s not there— it can be forwarded, copy and pasted, or saved. “Remind kids that, yes, the recipient might be someone they trust now… but no one can predict the future,” Dancy explains. “They put themselves in a vulnerable position to allow anyone to have compromising photos of them. [But] having a conversation about sex with your kid will not prepare them for how to handle sexting. Both need to be addressed.”

Technologically speaking, kids are a step savvier than their folks, so foster open dialogue to educate and establish a mutual relationship where kids can come to you with questions and concerns. Also, set limits on technology usage and use logic (e.g., always consider age and maturity).

Finally, communicate your parental right to monitor their activity and institute fair rules—no late-night technology in the bedroom or for long unsupervised periods. As trustworthiness and responsible usage of technology is exhibited, slowly loosen the reins, but never hand them over entirely.

•

THE TARGET On average, sexting becomes an issue in middle school, when kids increasingly navigate social and romantic relationships without as much parental oversight.

The mix of freedom, access and naïveté creates something of a perfect storm. Although Dancy feels sexting is more com-

bullying, harassment and sexual objectification, which can lead to poor self-esteem, depression, anxiety, social withdrawal, etc.

Legally, implications for minors discovered in possession of nude photos, which is considered child pornography, can lead to further trouble if discovered.

“THE TALK” 2.0 Preferably, approach the issue with your kids before they have access to a smartphone or media device. But don’t make the discussion solely about sex—focus on the real-world consequences of posting explicit or embarrassing material, and use examples of others who have been hurt by such actions. Pose helpful and thoughtprovoking questions like, “How did it affect their reputation?’”

big picture. Society also exacts sway, normalizing and even glorifying under-age sex. “If a child or teen is spending a great deal of time online, you can bet they are seeing sexually explicit content,” explains Krysta Dancy, M.A., M.F.T., and supervisor/ co-director of The Place Within Counseling Center (theplacewithincounselingcenter. com). “It can begin to feel like it is normal.

soil born farms Organic Food Production Takes Root

by Jenn Thornton

L

ooked at a food label lately? Then maybe it was you I saw in utter confusion trying to decode ingredient lists on aisle nine. The palpable sense of panic—the same horror I felt after watching the documentary Food, Inc., then dissecting ingredients in the, ahem, “food” I was feeding my family—was all too familiar.

Turns out, a lot of “food” is just a modified

version of something else pumped up with chemicals to make it look like the real deal.

If conscious-raising documentaries are planting seeds, they’re being cultivated for change at places like Soil Born Farms, a non-profit urban farming outfit in Sacramento and Rancho Cordova that’s stewarding a back-to-the-land mentality.

34 stylemg.com - June 2013

Homesteading this return to urban agriculture—from its 55-acre American River Ranch headquarters—is the organization’s co-founders, Shawn Harrison, Marco Franciosa and Janet Whalen Zeller.

Now thriving, the sustainable food supplier is a highly touted beacon of community agriculture, tending a more sustainable and accessible food system. Running a community supported agriculture (CSA) program, Soil Born Farms bestows its 80 CSA members, all of who have purchased “farm shares” to cover cultivation costs (four different payment options and three pickup spots, including one in Rancho Cordova, are offered), with fresh, seasonal and organically grown produce every week.

Delivered with the nutritious farm-to-fork bounty is the knowledge that it has not been manipulated for profit. Filling CSA boxes are a bevy of 8-10 seasonal veggies

(and a newsletter explaining ways to prepare them), with luscious fruit making its debut this year. On occasion, meat, honey, eggs and even wool are available throughout the season.

Growing awareness is also a specialty of Soil Born—its education arm extends a wide reach through the staging of community events and classes on everything from beekeeping and container gardening to organic growing and the basics of starting a small farm. Putting a particular emphasis on edifying local youth, kids are invited to get their hands dirty at Soil Born’s summer day camp. The operation also hosts a crop of youth field trips. The happy by-product of all these efforts is a “more you know, more you grow” approach. Kids who are invested in their health are more likely to sustain the land and its abundance, and continue to make healthy food choices throughout their lives.

“As more individuals choose locally grown foods, over time access to fresh, healthy foods will grow in all communities, including underserved neighborhoods,” explains Soil Born Farms’ Communications Manager Alicia Oldfield. “Fresh, rather than processed, foods will be the norm, not the exception.”

Even if you literally can’t roll up your sleeves, you can dig in to support Soil Born Farms’ work related to food, health and the environment by purchasing a farm share, picking up goods at the Midtown Farmers’ Market, or visiting the American River Ranch Farm Stand and similar independently owned and operated offshoots throughout the Sacramento Valley. Now that’s homegrown.

celebrate america 8 Independence Day Party Ideas

by Kerrie Kelly

T

here’s something special about Fourth of July festivities, and this year we’re planning get-togethers that are simple, stress-free and kid-friendly. Stars and stripes? You bet. A red, white and blue palette? For sure. Here are just a few classic, nofail ideas to make your home and garden Independence Day ready.

1. PUT YOUR PICNIC ON WHEELS Gather your friends, neighbors, family members and dogs, and take it outside. Whether you’re heading into town for the annual parade or hitting the front lawn for a low-key picnic on the grass, this party works. Once you get the gang on board, prepare to take your party on the go. Load up a wagon and roll it to your destination.

2. PARK IT CURBSIDE Once the kids are outside, it’s important to have some activities planned before the pop-a-wheelies begin. Surprise your bunch by whipping out a basket of tricks filled with all sorts of goodies. Kazoos, pinwheels, yo-yos and bubbles always seem to do the trick!

3. LOAD UP ON PARTY PROPS In true Fourth of July spirit, fill a basket or bucket with red, white and blue trimmings. Visit the Dollar Tree or your local party shop and load up on all sorts of inexpensive items—from flag picks to metallic shooting stars and streamers. Don’t overlook the décor meant for tables, walls and ceilings—most of it will look pretty sharp on your two-wheeler, too.

Show off pride for our country with an adorable and delectable centerpiece. In honor of the date, display a metal “4” house number inside a vase filled with Americana-colored candies. Insert classic sparklers or berry skewers decorated with colorful ribbon flags and voila, instant centerpiece.

5. SPELL IT OUT Show your American pride with colorful letters. Buy plain wooden letters at a craft store or on Etsy and get creative with red, white and blue paint. Mix and match solid colors with stars and stripes. If necessary, coat the letters with polyurethane for durability.

6. FLAGS ON PARADE Display Old Glory as artwork. Start with a small flag and gently remove the cloth from the stick. Center the flag on a mat inside a frame with no glass. Glue only the top edge of the flag to the mat, so it appears to be blowing in the breeze.

7. STAR SPANGLED THROW PILLOWS Create a seasonal pillow using understated motifs that can be 36 stylemg.com - June 2013

displayed year-round. Stitch a “USA” monogram onto a solid color throw pillow; use a button fastener to embellish another pillow with buttons in the shape of a star.

8. STARSTRUCK ENTRY Make a bold patriotic statement by sprucing up your front door with a ribbon-wrapped star. Loosely tie a ribbon around a metal star and loop the ribbon around a hook or outdoor light fixture; secure with a knot. Make the star the focus by hanging a wreath behind it.

With these ideas at your fingertips, you’ll be ready to celebrate America in style!

THE SHADES: An oval-shaped face can pull off pretty much any style with its balanced proportions, but wraparound frames can be most fitting. Soft angular frames also play up the shape; just be careful that the frame size is proportional to your face.

cascada restaurante & cantina Mexican Food Kicked Up A Knotch

by Jennifer Resnicke Photography by Dante Fontana

The pasta Mexicana was a creative take on traditional Alfredo, with a spicy red chile cream sauce atop penne, chicken, shrimp and über rich habanero sausage.

50 stylemg.com - June 2013

I

t was nearly 9 p.m. as my husband and I arrived at Cascada, but we were relieved to see a few other late birds enjoying dinner in the handsome (and sprawling) dining room’s cozy red booths.

Our waiter stopped by with the traditional offering of chips and a trio of salsas (one mild, one spicy, and a delectable creamy bean dip) for us to nibble on while we perused the menu.

With more than 50 items listed, you’ll be happy for the snack while you make your choices.

We started off with the Camarones Don Felipe appetizer—succulent jumbo shrimp wrapped in crispy bacon and tossed in hot sauce. The creamy, picante dipping sauce served alongside was a welcome addition, as it cut the vinegar in the hot sauce without compromising heat. Most bacon-wrapped shrimp dishes end up being tough and chewy in an attempt to make the bacon as crispy as possible, but this one embodied a balance of crispy bacon with soft shrimp.

Pasta Mexicana

Brocheta

Next, we moved on to our entrées: Brocheta and a “house specialty,” Pasta Mexicana. The first selection, brocheta, which translates to “skewer,” featured strips of sirloin steak sautéed with bacon, onions, jalapeños, tomatoes and melted jack cheese, served with cilantro rice, black beans and tortillas. The meat was of a higher quality then you’d expect in this type of dish (no tough gristle), and came scented with the flavors from the

fresh ingredients in the sauté, rather than a heavy-handed marinade.

The Pasta Mexicana was a creative take on traditional Alfredo, with a spicy red chile cream sauce atop penne, chicken, shrimp and über rich habanero sausage. The al dente veggies in the decadent dish (like zucchini and red bell pepper) served as a welcome palette cleanser for me.

We couldn’t leave without trying the churros on the dessert menu—another

Camarones Don Felipe

great decision for the night. The dish was perfect for sharing with two churros nestled in vanilla bean ice cream and topped with gooey caramel. The churros were crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle. It was a perfect ending to a sweet, and spicy, evening.

taste Grilled Carne Asada Tacos 200 Easy Mexican Recipes

by Kelley Cleary Coffeen (Robert Rose, Inc., 2013, $24.95) Tip: There are several different cuts of meat you can use for this recipe. Skirt steak or minute steaks are best due to the thin cut and quick cooking time.

Marinade • Juice of 3 lemons • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 1⁄2 cup drained sliced pickled jalapeño peppers • 1⁄2 cup teriyaki sauce • 1 tbsp. minced red bell pepper • 1 tbsp. granulated sugar • 2 tsp. kosher salt Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine lemon juice, garlic, jalapeños, teriyaki sauce, bell pepper, sugar and salt until sugar and salt have dissolved.

In a large resealable plastic bag, add marinade and meat and seal. Work marinade through meat with your fingers. Refrigerate meat for at least 2 hours or for up to 6 hours.

Preheat greased barbecue grill to medium. Remove meat from marinade, discarding marinade. Grill meat for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from grill and let stand for 8 to 10 minutes.

Carve meat across the grain into thin slices, then cut into bite-size pieces.

To build tacos, skillet warm tortillas. Divide meat equally among tortillas and top with Pico de Gallo. Fold tortillas in half.

Serve with a sliced lime. Makes 12 tacos.

SEAN MINOR FOUR BEARS CHARDONNAY 2011 CENTRAL COAST Sean Minor and his family live in Sacramento, but source grapes from all over California to make their wines. Considering the quality, Minor obviously has some great grape sources, as he produces top caliber wines at reasonable prices.

I have been a fan of Sean Minor wines for several years, but think his current line-up includes some of the best available. I especially like the Chardonnay from his Four Bears label, named for his four children and sold at an affordable price point. Minor also produces wines under the Sean Minor label—which are a little higher in price (in comparison to the Four Bears’ bottles)—including a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Pinot Noir and a red table blend.

Sean Minor Four Bears Chardonnay 2011 is a great summer wine, full of apples and white peach flavors. With a little butter, a little oak and a little acidity, it’s amazingly balanced and will keep every Chardonnay drinker at your party happy! Selling at about $14 a bottle, this wine’s a perfect choice for barbecuing with friends and will definitely complement this month’s recipe, Grilled Carne Asada Tacos.

brooklyn New York’s Bustling Borough

Brooklyn Bridge

W

ith more than 2.5 million residents (according to 2010 Census data), Brooklyn is NYC’s most populous borough—and it’s also home to some of the greatest hidden gems in all of New York City. Follow us as we guide you through Brooklyn’s neighborhoods and share our favorite restaurants to dine, places to go, and things to do.

REST YOUR HEAD (AND FEET!) Manhattan has many more hotel options than Brooklyn, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a good deal this side of the East River. The New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge has comfy rooms and quick access to public transportation.

In the off-season (read: winter), rooms with one king or two queens start around $199/night. During the summer, prices are higher, starting around $230/night.

Hotel Le Jolie is a 54-room boutique hotel within walking distance to many shops and restaurants in Williamsburg, one of Brooklyn’s hippest neighborhoods. A standard room with a queen bed nears 58 stylemg.com - June 2013

$189/night. If you like feeling like a local, Le Jolie is the spot for you.

PROSPECT PARK Prospect Park is Brooklyn’s Central Park.

It was designed and constructed over a 30-year period by the same Manhattan park masterminds, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. The park is a 585acre oasis featuring a 90-acre meadow (perfect for picnics and flying kites), an intricate system of pools, streams and waterfalls that culminate in a 60-acre lake, and Brooklyn’s only forest, which is home to a wide range of animals. The

park also houses an ice rink, a bandshell, a carousel, and a zoo—a must-see for families where the daily feedings of the sea lions are a favorite.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Palm House at Brooklyn Botanic Garden

PROSPECT HEIGHTS Now home to some of the best horticultural displays in the world, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, in Prospect Heights, was an ash dump in the 19th century. At 52 acres, the garden includes a number of “gardens within the garden,” including the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden, the Cranford Rose Garden, and the Shakespeare Garden, which features more than 80 plants mentioned in the writer’s plays and poems. You’ll also find plant collec-

Brooklyn Museum

tions, the Steinhardt Conservatory and an art gallery. Needless to say, it’s easy to spend hours here.

Once you leave the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, it’s a quick stroll to the Brooklyn Museum. The museum is housed in a 560,000-square-foot, Beaux-Arts building and is one of the oldest and largest art museums in the country. Permanent collections range from ancient

Prospect Park

Fountain at Prospect Park

Egyptian masterpieces to contemporary art. Don’t miss the Steinberg Family Sculpture Garden on the first floor. It was created in 1966 as a space to display architectural sculptures rescued from NYC demolition sites, and is a beautiful sampling of the detailed buildings still standing in older parts of the city.

Save money and buy one $20 ticket for admission to both the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the museum.

There are four rules for eating at the world-famous Grimaldi’s Pizzeria: No credit cards. No reservations. No slices.

No delivery. So you better show up hungry and with cash in your pocket. You’ll soon discover no pizzeria does it like Grimaldi’s, with the coal-fired brick oven that gives their pizza a “unique smoky flavor and a crisp crust that is just not possible with gas, convection or wood ovens.” The pizzeria opens at noon on most days and typically there’s already a line outside, so arrive early. Once you’re done with your pie, it’s a quick 15-minute walk to the Brooklyn Bridge walkway, which packs spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline and the new Freedom Tower.

WILLIAMSBURG

Grimaldi’s Pizzeria

The local watering hole, Brooklyn Brewery, was founded in 1988. Featuring an award-winning roster of year-round, seasonal and specialty beers, it’s become one of the top craft beer producers in the world. The brewery grew twice in size in 2012 and is expected to quintuple this year. Stop by Friday evenings for Happy Hour, or Saturdays and Sundays for tours and tastings. Reservations for tours can be scheduled Monday through Thursday between 5-7 p.m.

escape CONEY ISLAND What’s a trip to Brooklyn without a stop at Coney Island? Home of the annual Mermaid Parade held every June, Coney Island has something for everyone, ages 8 to 80. Hit up the Wonder Wheel for a smooth ride and beautiful views of the beach, or ride the Cyclone Rollercoaster for stomach-dropping thrills. When hunger hits, head to Nathan’s Famous (home of the annual Hot Dog Eating Contest!). And curl up next to that special someone to watch the free fireworks show every Friday evening in the summer.

With all this on your itinerary, you’ll do as the Beastie Boys said—“no sleep till Brooklyn!”

love of the game Gold Country Vintage Base Ball

T

he hurler steps into his box and eyes the behind. The striker grips his timber and digs in, looking to tally an ace with a good shot past tenders and scouts. But if it’s caught, it’s a hand.

Three hands and you’re down. Meanwhile, the cranks are in the stands, just waiting for a chance to razz the sir for a bad call.

And if a ballist shows some ginger? Well then, huzzahs all around.

Huh? Welcome to baseball, circa 1880, when fouls didn’t count as strikes, seven balls was a walk, the pitcher could fake his throw, and it wasn’t unusual—or illegal— for a defensive player to hide the ball in his armpit. And here in 2013, you can still see it played that way.

The eight-year-old Gold Country Vintage Base Ball is a league based in Amador County and the brainchild of Mike “Goose” Kerry, a former Amador school superintendent who had a love of both the game and its history. “When he retired it was his idea to bring vintage baseball to the West Coast,” says “Dirty” Dan Duran, a player and one of the league’s biggest advocates. “There were vintage leagues on the East Coast at the time, but none out here.” Kerry’s idea was to start one as a tribute to “Mudville 9,” the famed team from the classic poem “Casey at the Bat,” which some legends say was based on a 19th century team from Stockton. Six clubs, from Jackson, Ione, Rancho Murietta and now a squad in Folsom, with names like the Crushers, Miners and Pioneers, play nearly every spring and summer weekend, including three games at Folsom Lake High School on June 16.

Jackson resident Duran, 36, whose playing name is “Dirty” (“All players had nicknames back in the day,” he notes), has been suiting up since the beginning.

He played high school ball in Roseville and joined the league after moving to the Gold Country.

When watching a game, everything is 66 stylemg.com - June 2013

so authentic you half wish it was sepia toned—from the uniforms, which are custom-made by a vintage uniform company and cost upwards of $300, to rules and lingo, which the players actually use. “Aces,” for example, are runs. Players are “ballists,” with infielders known as “tenders,” outfielders, “scouts.” Spectators are “cranks” (still an apt description for some today), outs are “hands,” and top-hat wearing umpires are known as “sirs” because, after all, baseball was a gentleman’s game. Bats are “timber” (and look like it), and if a ballist shows some “ginger,” it means he hustled.

These guys were, and are, tough: “Fielders’ mitts are literally no more padded than a leather gardening glove,” Duran says. Fielding a hard-hit grounder requires not only quick reflexes but ample finesse, too. As for catchers—“behinds” back in the day (good thing they changed that one)—their gloves were slightly more padded but not enough that “hurlers” (pitchers) could throw with the velocity you see now, so they made up for it with an array of trick pitches, which become more effective as the game progresses (the ball becomes misshapen the more it gets hit). That also makes things interesting on defense. “There’s no such thing as a routine play,” Duran sighs, massaging several bruised fingers from the game I watched.

The league consists of young guns in their 20s to men in their 60s, and Duran says they would love to expand.

“We want to get into Roseville and Sacramento,” but admits there is some trepidation, not just because of the initial cost of uniforms and gear, but also because those who have never seen the game before “get a little apprehensive about hard balls being pitched from 50 feet away.” Because that’s another piece of authenticity the guys adhere to: The pitcher is 10 feet closer than in the modern game and “strikers” (batters) don’t wear helmets.

Find a game, come out, and let ‘em hear your huzzahs, because no matter what era, cheering is still music to a ballists’ ears.

“The Uncensored Message that My Wife Asked Me Not to Write…”

Dear friend, Well, at first, my wife asked me not to write this. We had a big discussion about it. Finally, she understood what I was trying to do, and actually helped me write this letter to you.

Here’s the thing. In my office, most of the people that come in to see me tell me they’ve “tried everything.”

They’ve had “every” test, wound up with huge medical bills, and are still no better off.

Often, they’ve been subjected to medications that have only served to temporarily mask symptoms.

That’s not what most people are looking for.

might never regain feeling again in her left leg.

A friend of mine convinces me to give his doctor a try. This new doctor does an exam takes some films, and then ‘adjusts’ my wife’s spine (he tells us there is compression in her body creating pressure on the nerves that are affecting her legs.) The adjustment is very gentle, and post exams and films are taken to assure the adjustment is successful.

Health, or the lack of it, very often has simple causes, and very reasonable corrections.

That’s what I’m going to tell you about.

But, before I tell you more, let me On the way home from our visit tell you something about me… my wife states that she felt At the time, I’m about to become a tingling in her legs!
