Cool down with water games! New summer fun for kids Winning the garden bug war
Inside...
Even pets are happy to get out of the heat. Sometimes, the temperatures at the beach are 30 degrees less than what they are in Placer County. Harper Brown enjoys the cooler weather and frolics amidst the wildlife at Dillon Beach.

s adults, we look back on summertime fun when we were kids and know that any sort of water activity was a treat. Unless you were lucky enough to have a pool (or live within walking distance to a body of water), once school was out, the easiest way to stay cool was to spend an afternoon in the sprinklers. Decades ago, it wasnt unusual to drive through any American neighborhood and see children traversing their front yard, as they screamed with delight at impossibly dodging the water droplets. We would don our bathing suits, grab a towel, pull out the garden hose and hook up whatever modern sprinkling devise dad
had purchased at the neighborhood hardware store. Remember the sprinklers that would shower you with an oscillating arc of water? Whatever house had one of those is where the kids always seemed to have the most fun since that was top-of-the-line in sprinkler fun! While having a pool was a big deal, the sprinkler offered its own opportunities ... as well as those pieces of grass blades that would always stick to your feet and were hard to get off. Maybe its because most houses today have programmable irrigation systems or because there is a larger variety of opportunities but the squeals of neighborhood kids in the front yard is not as prevalent as it once was.
Whether you have a backyard pool, there are other fun ways to beat the heat this summer. All it takes is a little imagination and sometimes channeling your inner child. It can be difficult to pull the kids away from their video games while sitting in an airconditioned room, but if you want to get them out for a little exercise, then remind them how much fun it is to have a good old-fashioned water balloon fight. A few years ago, we had an exchange student from Germany, who had never heard of water balloons. After explaining to her what the object of the game was, it was no time before I had kids ranging from 12- to 18-years-old having a great time with that simple
invention. It doesnt matter how old a person is, water balloons always seem to be fun. You can also play a game of Splat in the driveway or your back patio. All you need is water balloons and chalk. Toss the balloons in the air as high as possible. When they land, take the chalk and trace the outline of the watermark. Whoever has the balloon that makes the biggest splat wins the game. If your idea of a relaxing afternoon just involves curling up with a good book and a tall glass of your favorite beverage but the heat is keeping you from being able to concentrate on your summer reading list, then add a cooling towel around your neck. These towels are made of a hyper-evaporative
material (like a chamois fabric). I recently wore one of these around my neck when I was photographing a wedding in 108-degrees temperatures. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. Taking a drive up the coast is another sure way to beat the Placer County heat. When its blistering hot at home, the coast is often a little foggy and dictates wearing clothing you thought wouldnt see the light of day until the fall. Sometimes when the temperature rises, our imaginations plummet and we forget about some of the simplest (and inexpensive) ways to stay cool. Create your shopping list now so that when the temperature is working overtime, youll be cool, calm and collected.
Water balloons have always been a fun way for kids to cool off in the summer. Actually, kids of all ages enjoy a good water balloon fight or game of catch with the aqua grenades.
whole body cool down and it will be easier to sleep. Mel Torme was a genius when he wrote The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire). He told the story that it was an unbearably hot summer and he was trying to think of something to stay cool. Torme proved that mind over matter is sometimes the most powerful tool we have.

ts the season of homegrown produce and Lincoln Farmers Markets. Among all the delicious produce that will be enjoyed this summer, tomatoes are proba-
on even the smallest of patios, and if you dont grow them, they are inexpensive to purchase. A couple other favorite summertime crops are corn and basil. Recipes abound with these
three items being the key ingredients and corn-stuffed tomatoes is a great dish to make with the leftover corn on the cob that you had with last nights dinner. Even if someone doesnt care for the taste of tomatoes, the
corn filling is delicious all by itself and a refreshing alternative to the traditional green salad. Beefsteak tomatoes are a perfect size to use as an edible vessel for this salad.

CORN-STUFFED TOMATOES
INGREDIENTS 3 ears of corn 4 beefsteak tomatoes 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 cup chopped scallions 1/4 cup shopped basil 1 tablespoon white-wine or balsamic vinegar Coarse salt and ground pepper 3 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (save some for garnish) DIRECTIONS Grill corn (or use leftovers from a previous meal). If youre going to grill them, pull back the husks, remove and discard silk; and then pull husks back over corn. For 10 minutes, soak corn in a large pot of cold water. Cut off and discard top third of tomatoes. Using a paring knife, carefully cut around wall of tomato to loosen flesh. Squeeze out seeds and discard them. Leaving the tomato wall intact, scoop out the inside of tomatoes. Coarsely chop interiors; transfer to a large bowl. Heat grill to high and lightly oil grates. Arrange drained corn on grill, cover and cook, turning occasionally with tongs, until husks are slightly charred and corn is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove ears from grill. Holding bottom of hot ears with a towel, peel back husks and cut kernels off cob; transfer to bowl with tomatoes. Add scallions, bacon, vinegar, and oil. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Spoon filling into hollowed tomatoes; top with a slice of bacon.
Corn-stuffed tomatoes add a medley of vegetables to your grilled meal. Topped with bacon from Tootles in Wheatland, served along side of their meatloaf, this was an easy, yet delicious, weekday meal.
continued from 4 Whats a summertime meal without a delicious drink to enjoy with it? The Zebra Zing is a blood orange cocktail but is easy to make alcohol-free by just omitting the vodka. With so many new varieties of rum and vodka on the market, its easy to create a new signature drink for your summertime barbecue. Signature drinks are a fun way to add a little flare to whatever gathering youre having this summer. To make your possibilities even more endless, why not give each guest an ingredient to bring? Give them a guideline for what they should contribute to go with whatever drink theme you want. For the Zebra Zing, its citrus based so there are a lot of other yummy ingredients that could be used with that theme. Just by substituting the orange sherbet for vanilla ice cream, this could become a Creamsicle type of drink. Almost any drink can be made alcohol-free by substituting the use of club soda, lemon-lime or fruit juices. After that delicious barbecue, you may be too full for dessert, so why not drink your dessert? Actually, theres always room for dessert, right?

When deciding on projects to do with your kids, allow them to help in the prep. To them, that's half the fun. You can also use it as a teaching moment, whether it's about teamwork, fractions and measurements or just about following directions.

trol as he would with a paint brush. This is also a great project for kids who may have issues with motor skills, don't like getting their hands dirty or have difficulty holding a paintbrush. I had a great time watching Sam create and proudly show off each segment of the project that he completed. Because blowing the paint around required some breathing control, he ran out of breath a couple of
times. With his 3-year-old cuteness (and confusion with nouns), he exclaimed, "I'm out of allergies!" Kids are so adorable! For the hot summer days, here's a very simple activity where kids can use water and allows them to role play a bit. This kept Sam busy for a remarkable amount of time. Gather a disposable foil pan (but you could use any container about that size), some dish soap and toy cars. Arrange washing and drying stations (sponges, toothbrushes, etc.) and Sam had his very own car wash assembled. Most kids have either helped wash their parents' cars or gone through a car wash with them so they're familiar with this concept

RAINBOW RICE
INGREDIENTS 1 cup of rice Approximately 1 tablespoon rubbing alcohol 1/2 teaspoon of Kool-Aid DIRECTIONS Put ingredients into a bag. Seal the bag shut and let sit for 15 minutes. Pour it out on a tray and separate and flatten as much as possible. Let it dry overnight (or for at least six to eight hours). When it's dry, take out the clumps and let the kids have fun. The rice can be put in a container and used repeatedly.
interaction between the two of you, and just to show him or her that sometimes the simplest activities are the most fun. When my grandmother (who had emphysema and was fairly disabled)
used to have my thenpreschool-age daughter over for a visit, they would spend hours using some of the simplest items to make projects. Ali remembers my grandmother using varioussized empty aspirin bot-
tles to create "sugar/flour canisters" for Ali's toy kitchen. They would also meticulously cut out pictures of the collectible dolls that they'd find in magazines and make their own paper dolls. Those memo-
ries stick with my now adult daughter and have created a priceless memory album for her that will last a lifetime.
Ali was in the thirdgrade when my grandmother died. At the funeral, Ali read an eulogy she had written and said that what she loved about spending time with her great-grandmother was how they took care of each other. There were activities Ali was too young to do and grandma had to help Ali; there were activities that grandma was no longer physically able to do that Ali had to help her with. These memories are still as vivid to 27-year-old Ali today as they were back then. The activities might be inexpensive little projects you're making with your kids, but in the end, they may end up being priceless. The little things in life are often the grandest.

In our increasingly mobile society, the prevalence of hookworms and whipworms, primarily found in the southern states, is becoming a nationwide problem. In addition, Sentinel Flavor Tabs are significantly cheaper than similar products, costing no more than traditional heartworm prevention alone.

Contact your local veterinarians for additional information and to see if the products are appropriate for your pets. So much prevention for such a great price!

dont know about you but these last eight years has been a challenge financially for many of us on a personal level and for the overall economy of the world. Fortunately, there are many that believe we have turned the corner toward a financial recovery of sorts. Even though in the downturn, many jobs were lost and many of us were forced out of our comfort zones and had to get serious about our jobs and financial well-being. I have heard it said that, as a nation, we needed to sober up and get real instead of living in the fog of stated income and multiple refinances, just to spend the equity on boats, cars and vacations. Fortunately, interest rates are still very low, and even though properties are less easy to find, the hard work is worth it. Many individuals are surprised to find out how much equity they currently have on a property that a short while ago was upside down. This is an ideal time to move up in the market.

Plan for a yard sale and sell those items you dont plan to take with you. Eliminate clutter; get rid of magazines, newspapers, bottles cans and such. Pack away what you dont really need. Remember, a buyer wants to see space. That way, they can imagine their items in the home instead of yours. If your home does not have curb appeal, chances are buyers will not even look inside the home. Stand at the curb, not at the front door, and look at your property and objectively appraise your place. See it as if for the first time, and through the buyers eyes. Then consider what you can do to make it so it seems to say, I am interesting, come inside and see more of me.

right back. There are lots of different controls for aphids, many of them organic. If you try the household method of treating aphids (soap and water), make sure you use soap and not detergent. Most dish soap is actually a form of detergent and can be very harmful to plants. Ivory or natural soaps are the only products close to a true soap. Caterpillars and worms can damage your plants. Sometimes, the damage is noticeable but not terribly damaging. However, sometimes the damage can be extensive. Most worms and caterpillars eat holes and large sections out of your leaves, which will reduce the plants' ability to produce chlorophyll. Treatment for most climbing worms and caterpillars are all pretty much the same. Sprays and some dusts work well. Again, check at your local nursery and they will get you the best product to treat your bug issue. There are some very good organic treatments as well! Remember the most important fact: keeping your plants healthy and nonstressed will help keep bugs from showing up and waging war when you are sleeping snug in your bed at night.

NOT-POTATO SALAD
INGREDIENTS
1 head steamed cauliflower (mashed) 3 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt (in place of mayo), Regular mustard (to taste) A few dashes of apple cider vinegar 1-2 chopped dill pickles (or a few tablespoons of dill relish) 1 chopped sweet pickle (or a tablespoon 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 if necessary)
If I find myself sitting on the couch, I ask myself one question: What am I doing this very minute to burn calories?
teenagers, I do not have time for gyms. Ive written about this before, but I try to include my kids in the physical activities (hiking, walking, yard work, etc.). Find exercise all around you from walking to and from your car (park a good distance away), shopping (do an extra two laps around the store), to picking up toys from the floor. If I find myself sitting on the couch, I ask myself one question: What am I doing this very minute to burn calories? If the answer isnt satisfactory, I get moving do dishes, sweep, clean, fold laundry or go for a walk. Get up and move.
DIRECTIONS This is so easy. I often make a faux mashed potato with the cauliflower and figured it would lend itself easily to a faux potato salad recipe. This is what Ive come up with. After you steam your cauliflower, make sure its very dry (pat down with paper towels if
Substitute steamed, mashed cauliflower to create not potato salad. The recipe also replaces mayonnaise with nonfat plain yogurt.
you must). If there is too much water, it makes for a thin dish. Place in a mixing bowl and use a stick blender (or manual masher) to mash the cauliflower. Add other ingredients to taste and mix well. If its too thin, mash in two small baked potatoes to help thicken the mixture. Best served after its chilled overnight (or at least an hour).
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.
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 lead-in 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.

A frequent question I receive is, How often do you work out? You must live in the gym. As the father of two young children, as well as dad to two

Harris Center for the Arts unveils new name, new season
BY LAURA NEWELL
the Arts at Folsom Lake College, formerly Three Stages, is not only ushering in their new name, but also a new 2013-2014 season. While tickets dont go on sale until July 8 for the upcoming season, Executive Director Dave Pier is giving people a sneak peek into the Harris Center. The new name fittingly honors Brice Harris, the recently retired chancellor of the Los Rios Community College District, said Pier. Brice oversaw a doubling of the size of the district during his tenure, including the development of Folsom Lake College. He, together with then president of the college, Thelma Scott-Skill-
During the 2012-2013 season, we had 130,000 people visit the he Harris Center for center. Since we opened, weve had more than 300,000 visitors.
Dave Pier, executive director, Harris Center for the Arts
man, was perhaps most responsible for seeing the vision of a Regional Performing Arts Center for our community realized. While we have changed our name to the Harris Center for the Arts, everyone can rest assured that the wide array of quality cultural offerings and excellent customer service that people have come to know and love will continue in our intimate, world class three stages. So what can people expect in the new season? A wide variety. The new seasons Broadway series includes
Peter and the Star Catcher, Dave Barrys prequel
to the Peter Pan tale. The show, which will be performed in Folsom March 25-26, has never been in the region before and is still selling out in New York. Also visiting the region for the first time is the Broadway hit, The Addams Family. This spooky musical will visit Harris Center for the Arts Nov. 26-27. The Broadway series cheers up with Bring it On, March 7-9, 2014, for its regional debut. August shows will include performances by Kenny Loggins, Arturo OFarrill and The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, Jeffrey
September will include performances by the Brubeck Brothers and classic Broadway by Todd Ellison. October performances will include An Evening
with Jason Alexander,
sporting top dancers from television shows. December performances include the Moscow Classical Ballets performance of Nutcracker and the Eddie Palmieri Latin Jazz Group. Bringing in the New Year, January performances will include Cirque Ziva, Celtic Nights, the
performances by Complexions Contemporary Ballet, the Pacfico Dance Company, Gamelan Sekar Jaya Balinese music and dance, DanZaraBellydance Superstars and Ring of Fire: the music of Johnny Cash.
November will feature Grammy Award winning jazz pianist Peter Nero and
Ballroom with a Twist,
and the music of Ella Fitzgerald performed by the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks. March performances include the tapping sounds of Savion Glover, the tribute band Pink Floyd Experience, and Samul Nori master
drummers and dancers from Korea. If people havent been here yet, I encourage everyone to come out and give us a try, Pier said. During the 2012-2013 season, we had 130,000 people visit the center. Since we opened, weve had more than 300,000 visitors. For people interested in buying advanced tickets, they can become a donor of the center through $150 donation. For more information, call development office at (916) 608-6705 or online. Pier also suggests joining the Harris Center for the Arts mailing list to receive a full brochure of the entire 2013-2014 season, mailing in August. For more information, visit harriscenter.net.
