holesThe Farmers’ Almanac is predicting a hotter than normal summer. Throughout the Gold Country, temperatures are startingto warm up. Plus, the first day of summer is June 20. Yep, time to go some where to cool off.The foothills are a gold mine when it comes to swimming holes, especially with the increased rain from last season.

Caution is in order, however, anyone who regularly reads the local papers knows that the river takes few lives each year.

Please be safe, as the water can not only change from one season to the next, but from day to day.

Now to find a cool spot. After polling a few locals, here is a list places to take a dip this summer.

While this is not a complete list, it has options to fit families, teens and nature lovers.

AMERICAN

RIVER

CONFLUENCE

NO-HANDS

BRIDGE

Confluence and NoHands Bridge

This is a popular spot where the

Middle Fork of the American River

and the North Fork come together.

And, it’s not far from Auburn. Water

levels here are more consistent since

it’s controlled upstream by Lake

Clementine.

Getting there: From I-80, take High-

way 49 South toward Cool. Go 2.8miles and find a place to park near

the bridge. There will be trails from

the parking areas to the river.

Local tips: There can be many people

here during the hot days of summer,

but there is a lot of beach area to

accommodate them. Oh my darling Clementine: Upper Lake Clementineis an idea swimming area for families.

——

Confluence influence: The Confluence is a popularspot to take a dip and it’s close to Auburn.

Clarks Hole

Formerly Auburn’s municipal swimming pool. In the

1900s there were concession stands and lifeguards. Today,

it is still a popular spot for picnics and swim parties,

however, there are no lifeguards. The pool, surrounded by

rugged cliffs is just above the Middle Fork of the Ameri-

can River joins the North fork.

Getting there: Park at the confluence and walk around

the green gate to the steep fire road. After hiking less than

a quarter of a mile, pass Stagecoach Trail and go 40 steps,look for an unmarked, but well-used narrow trail on the

right. If you’re with children, hang onto them as there are

steep drop-offs. As the trail desends, it will go under Fores-

thill Bridge and pass a small waterfall. The trail ends after

a climb down some large boulders that surround the pool.

Local tips: This can be crowded in the afternoon, arrive

early if you like swimming with less people.

Upper Lake Clementine

Most kid-friendly swimming hole on the American River,

water is slow moving. There is a ranger station in the area

that enforces the no alcohol or dogs rules. There are small

beach areas to set up camp.

Getting there: From I-80 take Foresthill Road, go about

six miles and turn left on Upper Clementine Lake Road.

Take this is a dirt road 1.5 miles.

It will end at the lake.

Local tips: This is safe spot for familiesand the dirt road to this

swimming hole keeps the

popularity down.

WATER SAFETYTIPS

Before you go, keep these recom-

mendations in mind:

It is best to swim in designated are

supervised by lifeguards.

Always swim with a buddy; do noallow anyone to swim alone. Even

a public pool or a lifeguarded beac

use the buddy system.

Ensure that everyone in the family

learns to swim well. Enroll in age-

propriate swimming and water

courses.

Never leave a young child unat-

tended near water and do not trus

a child’s life to another child. Teac

children to always ask permission go near water.

Have young children or inexperi-

enced swimmers wear U.S. Coast

Guard-approved life jackets aroun

water, but do not rely on life jacke

alone.

Establish rules for your family and

enforce them without fail. For exa

ple, set limits based on each perso

ability, do not let anyone play aroudrains and suction fittings, and do

not allow swimmers to hypervent

late before swimming under wate

have breath-holding contests.

Even if you do not plan on swim-

ming, be cautious around natural

bodies of water including ocean

shoreline, rivers and lakes. Cold te

peratures, currents and underwate

hazards can make a fall into these

bodies of water dangerous.

If you go boating, wear a life jacke

Most boating fatalities occur from

drowning.

Avoid alcohol use. Alcohol impairs

judgment, balance and coordinati

affects swimming and diving skills

and reduces the body’s ability to s

warm.

Rollins LakeThis lake is at an elevation of 2,100 feet near Colfax. The lake has asurface area of 900 acres, with 26 miles of shoreline. This

is a great lake for boating and water-skiing with many coves and longstretches of open water. Fishing can be done from a boat or the shore for

a wide variety of trout and warm water species. There are four camp-grounds for day or overnight use.

Cost is $8 per vehicle (up to four persons). Walk-ins are $1.50. After 4p.m. Monday-Thursday, prices are reduced to $4 day use.

Local tips: For families the Long Ravine does not permit alcohol on thebeach, plus Beach Hut Deli has slide. The Peninsula Family Camping

beach area does not permit dogs, but there are two separate designatedpet swim areas.

Emigrant Gap /North Fork, North Fork campgroundFor the more adventuresome, this is a 45-minute drive fromAuburn, plus a 20-minute difficult hike to the swimming hole.But it is beautiful. There’s a 20-foot waterfall that drops into a30-foot hole and a 15-foot waterfall drops that into a 25-foothole.

Getting there: From I-80, take Laino Road exit, turn ontoTexas Hill road. Take this all the way down to North ForkCampground. The entrance to the trail for the waterfalls is atthe back of the campground. Ask any camper where it is.

Local tips: Kids not recommended. Wear good shoes as thetrail is rough and even the most experienced hikers slip. Anddon’t wear sunglasses in the pools, waterfalls can easily claimthem.

Look Mom no

hands: Many localsenjoy the water

Sometimes an odd combination can have the sweetest results. For

brewery and taphouse, Cool Beerwerks, their expansion of Kuru Su-

shi and Poke Bar became a peculiar combination that satisfies flavor.

Kuru, which mean cool in Japanese, was introduced as a restaurant

in November 2015.

“We are a fusion of Japanese and Hawaiian food,” said owner Ro-

chelle Robello.

It was unclear to customers that Cool Beerwerks had a menu, so

they decided to give their restaurant a name.

Not everyone would think to pair beer with a Japanese or Hawaiian

cuisine. However, Cool Beerwerks Asian spin on classic pub eats hasbeen bringing in curious customers and contented regulars.

According to their website “Cool Beerwerks is a micro-brewery spe-

cializing in authentic handcrafted ales and beer for the discerning

beer connoisseur.” However, they have expanded their uniqueness by

including items on the menu such as a “Highway 49” sushi roll and

deep fried cheesecake. The most unique menu offering has to be the

“Loco Moco,” which is a Kuru special. This traditional Hawaiian dish

is a combination of rice, hamburger patty or Spam, a fried egg, and

gravy poured over the top. Though it is not a typical menu item, the

pairing with a hand-crafted brew is one your taste

buds will remember.

“I personally have not heard of any other brewery

that serves sushi,” said Robello.

It sets them apart from any other brewery in the

area.

A new style of food that has recently been intro-

duced into the restaurant business is the Poke Bowls

“It’s a very new concept to the restaurant industry,”

Robello commented.

The fresh fish is laid on top of a bed of rice and

lightly dressed, resulting in a mouthful of tropical

fun. The best part is that each bowl can be cus-

tomized based on preference. The fish options are

interchangeable as well as the dressings.

The beer selection pairs really well with the seafood

delicacies. The blonde ale, named “The Golden Drag-

on,” is an example of a perfect pairing.

“It’s nice and light,” said Robello.

It was important to Cool Beerwerks to incorpo-

rate more of a family atmosphere. They are not

just a bar. There is much to be experienced at Cool

Beerwerks and Kuru Sushi and as they get ready to

celebrate three years being open, be sure to stop by

to have a taste of the numerous and delicious items

on the menu. ◆

31/60 JUNE 2016

PLACER NEVADAJUNIOR GOLF TOUR

PGA Golf Pros, Phil Green and Jason Harringtonat Placer Nevada Junior Golf Tour, have the will-fulness to spread the love of golf to kids through afun instructional program. PNJGT’s primary focus

is developing golf skills from the very beginner to theadvanced golfer. They develop the individual child tobecome a golfer, but not on the competitive side. Thekids traveled the course on a Sunday without a scorecard in hand. And to give the more novice playersa chance, a best ball is played so the kids can movethrough the holes with their group.

There are several competitive junior golf programsthat the Director Green wanted kids to fall in lovewith the game instead of the competitive aspect. Golfcan be a stressful game and that’s why PNJGT setstheir intentions on just having fun. It’s a great atmo-sphere for the kids to be involved in because golfers

meet new friends while picking up new skills. Anaverage of 20 to 25 golfers participate on Sundays fornine holes of golf at either of the three courses, Au-burn Valley Golf Course, Black Oak Golf Course, andDarkhorse Golf Club. Each hole is modified wheregreens are set up 100 yards to the pin, making it lessdaunting than the hole standard 300 yards.

Players are given instruction at Home On The Greenrange and golf course instruction. Each seasonal ses-sion costs about $150. There are opportunities to playall year long with the four different PNJGT seasons,which has attracted youth golfers to take part in theprogram from Truckee in the winter months.



The most special dogs (or cats) are the ones that

we develop a special rapport with.

RAPPORT: (noun) A close and harmonious

relationship in which the people or groups con-

cerned understand each other’s feelings or ideas

and communicate well.

We develop a wonderful relationship with our

pets when we find a way to communicate with

our hearts. You’ve seen it. Your dog simply

looks in your eyes, and stares at you, patiently

waiting for you to look back. Sometimes, your

dog wants a treat. Other times, your dog sees

you crying and puts his head in your lap to offerconsolation. In each circumstance, there is an

exchange of intelligence.

We don’t always understand just how intelli-

gent our pets are. Many folks talk “baby talk”

to their pets, and are satisfied with the simple

companionship of master and child. Others, talk

to them as if they are equals. In most cases, the

animals respond with equal, or even superior,

intelligence.

As you build respect and trust, animals reveal

many things, including emotions that you didn’t

know were possible. One of my clients lost a

beautiful dog, named Crocker due to cancer this

last year. I came to the house to sit with the

other dog, Scooter, about a week after Crocker’s

death. It was the first time that I had come to

this home when there was just one dog, rather

than two. When I walked into the room, Scooter

sadly walked up to me. I knelt down. He put his

head on my shoulders, and cried for the longest

time. Knowing the dog, I knew he was trying to tell me about everything that had

happened. I cried with him.

Often, there are gaps between what one or the other are trying to convey and

understand. Some dogs learn tricks easily, while others seem to be impossible to

train. I’ve learned that each dog has their own frequency of understanding.

As a professional dog sitter, I visit with many different types of dogs and cats. To

be successful, I’ve had to be confident in my manner with these animals, as well

as be respectful of their territory. I also have to be clear that I am no “push-over”.

After a visit with my clients’ pets (which is usually for a week at a time), my client

ask me, “What did you do to my dog? They behave, now!” My answer is simple:

“I’m a drill sergeant.” Dogs are creatures of habit, and respond well to consistent

rules of conduct. I don’t allow dogs to jump on me, and I don’t allow random

barking. If the doorbell rings, and the dog barks, I respond with a simple ,“thank

you,” check the door, and acknowledge the dog for trying to warn me of a poten-

tial intruder (i.e. mailman, salesman, axe murderer, etc.). And that’s the end of it.

When I take the dogs for walks, I insist that they “heel.” At every crosswalk, I have

them sit and wait for the command to allow them to cross the street with me.

You don’t have to be mean, to be strict. I talk with dogs, as I would with anyone

else. There is a certain honesty in talking with dogs intelligently. I don’t talk down

to them. There is a playfulness in our conversations. I ask them if they would

like to go out and look at the squirrels, or if they enjoyed the meal I prepared for

them. There is also the physical interaction. I play fetch, I rub their bellies.

Training a dog is not magic. It is simply a matter of supporting consistent behavio

that puts an animal in comfortable, secure place. With proper training, and posi-

tive encouragement, pets develop good behavior, as well as quality social skills. ◆

VOLUNTEERS PLACED SIGNS TO SORT

OUT MAZE AT POINTED ROCKS IN COOL

THE SWEETEST LOLLIPOP TRAILWRITTEN BY MARY WEST ▼ PHOTOS BY MARY WEST


35/60 JUNE 2016

Looking to enjoy some wide openspaces away from the crowds? Let me share with you the sweetest lollipop trail my friend Jason introduced me to on a recent 5K

fun run he organized. It is worth the short 7 mile drive past the crowded North and Middle Forks of

the American River Confluence area in Auburn to the rolling hills of Cool, Calif.

I have been hesitant to share much about the trails in this area because many are unmarked and

I have gotten myself lost wandering around chasing butterflies and daisies. Recently several new

signs have popped up in the area thanks to an Auburn State Recreation Area Volunteer group

known as the Canyon Keepers. Several volunteers placed signs to help sort out the maze that is

known to many simply as Olmsted or Knickerbocker.

Park in the vehicle lot next to the Cool Fire station off Highway 49. This is a fee area. From the

parking area you can see the grass covered hills bending in the breeze beneath majestic oaks that

dot the wide open landscape.

Continued on next page ››



CANYON KEEPERS

Canyon Keepers meet the

first Tuesday of the month at

the Canyon View CommunityCenter at 471 Maidu Drive in

Auburn at 6 p.m. Learn more

at CanyonKeepers.org

Across the street from the fire station is

the Pointed Rocks trail head. The wide

flat trail parallels Highway 49 for ¼ mile

before turning west into a small cluster

of oaks that canopy the trail a short

distance as you make your way to the

first signed intersection of Ranch Road

Trail and Olmstead Loop. Stay straight on

Ranch Road. Soon you pass a small pond

and a variety of wildflowers around old

foundations from abandoned home-

steads.

Every few yards the vista changes and

may make you believe the sky is simply

bigger out here. Stay on the trail as it bends to the south. Take a seat under a tree

on a random rock and take in the green grasses, butterflies, wildflowers, and the

peace and quiet.

If you have time, wander along the path, but if 3 or so miles is enough for you,

look for a fork in the road on your left headed uphill to the east. The hotter it gets

the more snakes you may find sunning themselves on the hot dirt of the path; be

aware. At the top of the hill you will find the loveliest pond with a grinding rock

begging you take a seat and enjoy the song of the red-wing blackbirds that call

this area home. Follow the pond to the north that brings you back to the signed

intersection of Ranch Road Trail and Olmstead Loop. Turn right to return to the

parking area.

Take plenty of water. Much of this trail is exposed to the sun so a hat and sunscreen

will make the hike more comfortable. This short hike is only one of a dozen trails in

the area. These are multi-use trails so if you do wander there is usually a friendly

equestrian, runner or mountain biker to get you pointed in the right direction. ◆

And they love a quality dessert.

“Friends and neighbors kept telling us that ice cream was

the one business Auburn was lacking,” Bernadette said.

“Frozen yogurt isn’t the same.”

It took about nine months for the couple to renovate the

Lincoln Way space from a pet supply store and office into

bright and cheerful ice cream and candy shop.

The shops are named after the Allens’ three young grand-

children, whom may one day take over the business.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful?” Bernadette said.

The ice cream side of the store is painted a sunny yellow

with arches and a large mountain mural. The blue in the

water matches the blue in the checkered tablecloths.

On the other side of the wall is a long, narrow candy

shop filled with glass cases full of chocolates both dark

and milk. Above the candy hangs a crystal chandelier the

Allens hand carried from France 10 years ago. It’s beenin a box in the attic all this time, waiting for the perfect

home, Bernadette said.

“We modeled the candy shop after the candy stores in

Belgium,” she said. “They’re like jewelry stores … the win-

dow displays are a work of art. You can’t pass by without

going in.”

The duo also put a lot of research into what kind of de-

liciousness they would offer their customers. They spent

a long time talking to an experienced ice cream maker in

Florida, and on his advice decided to have their own icecream recipes concocted for them at a factory in Sacra-

mento. They also offer fruit ice, a treat that’s popular in

Florida but has yet to catch on in California.

“It’s like Hawaiian shave ice … made with real fruit,” Ber-

nadette said. “There’s nothing artificial.”

The ice cream shop also offers dessert crepes and parfait

as well as a rotating variety of cupcakes, cookies and

brownies made by Auburn staple, Cathy Bianchi of Gim-

mie Cake Too.

“We’re always open to suggestions from customers,”

Bernadette said.

For example, one day recently a customer ordered a root

beer milkshake and then offered the staff a taste of the

results.

“Now it’s on the menu,” Bernadette said.

The fudge comes from a candy maker on the East coast,

and the chocolate comes from a different candy maker in

Minnesota. Some items, like hand-dipped strawberries, are

made in the store.

The shop has been slowly gaining a base of loyal custom-

ers, the owner said, and she imagines it will grow as the

weather warms. Because the Allens are situated between

two popular Auburn eateries — Awful Annie’s and Joe

Caribe’s — word is spreading.

“People come in with their to-go boxes, and say, ‘I’m so full,

but I’ll be back,” Bernadette said. “And they do come back.”

Debra Montgomery was one of those customers. She

noticed Samantha’s after having lunch at Awful Annie’s

and returned a few days later with her grandchildren, Kateand Jacob Bruggert, whom she picks up from school once

a week.

“They asked if we could come, and here we are,” Montgom-

ery said. “It’s so darling; I hope it’s successful.”

The Allens hope it’s successful, too, and if Auburnites fol-

low Bernadette’s philosophy for a happy life, it will be.

“I lost my sister to cancer,” she said. “I asked the doctor,

‘What can I do (for prevention)?’ He said, ‘Eat ice cream

and be happy.’ Those words remain with me.” ◆

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon xantham gum

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoapowder

Let cool completely beforeadding the frosting.

Occasionally I get a craving for a dessert so decadent that only something with chocolate, chocolate,

and more chocolate will satisfy.

Cupcakes are an easy treat to satisfy any craving and I absolutely love making them. They are less

hassle than baking an entire cake, you get a perfect ratio of frosting to cake, and as an additional

bonus you feel a lot less guilty eating three cupcakes than eating three whole pieces of cake. Plus

they are a simple and just plain cute dessert. Any dessert you can eat with your hands is a bonus in

my book. I decided to make Chocolate Bailey’s Irish Cream Cupcake and they were divine. The extra

sweet liquor frosting was perfectly paired with the bittersweet chocolate cake. It was a very rich

dessert and one was definitely enough. I made them special for my mother-in-law’s birthday and

they were a hit with the entire family.

These lighter-than-air cookies are a mouthwatering treat to have as a dessert or pair with tea and coffee. They may take over three hours to

make, but believe me it is worth it. Luckily most of the time the meringue is sitting in an oven or in a mixer. The difficult work is almost done

for you. Just mix and place in the oven. The hardest part is waiting to satisfy your sweet tooth.◆

Eating healthfully can be sometimes be

a great challenge. As the days get longer,

we tend to get busier and for myself

personally, I know that making lunches

ahead of time can be difficult, especially

on days where I am pressed for time.

These Mason jar salads are an easy grab

from the fridge. The best part is that

once they are sealed and stored, they last

up to five days! The trick is to put the

dressing on the bottom followed by any

toppings you desire and lettuce last. This

keeps the lettuce from getting soggy.

Whatever combination or salad concoc-

tion you chose is up to you. There is no

wrong way to make a salad. Add morenuts if you like a crunchy texture or

seasonal fruit to make it sweet. Fill your

jar to the top and make ahead of time to

have a healthy lunch or snack that you

can “grab on the go.”

4 egg whites

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 tbs. vanilla extract

SHOP LOCAL

PlacerGROWN farmers markets are in full boom with an abundance of

seasonal fruits, vegetables, breads, and much more. PlacerGROWN has

six outdoor markets, including the new location at High Hand Nursery, tochoose from within Placer County. Shopping for fresh locally produced

items can be done nearly every day of the week.

Carol Arnold, CEO of PlacerGROWN, has seen an uptick with people choos-

ing to shop farmers’ markets for their weekly groceries. Produce grown

from local farmers are rich in flavor, bursting with color, and nourish the

body with fresh nutrients. Going to the source for food enables the con-

sumer to know what’s in the foods as opposed to purchasing growers out

of the area. The farmers are generally the sellers at the farmers’ markets

and are typically very knowledgeable in their products.

Arnold has said that PlacerGROWN has had the crop-to-table outlook

since the beginning of Placer County’s strong agricultural farming indus-

try. She added that “it’s a way of life, it’s how you live” when referring to

the abundant availability of eating either from your own garden, shopping

at a fruit stand, or at the farmers’ markets.

Arnold said there has seen a slight change with this year’s summer

vegetables as some have hit the stands a bit early. Cucumbers and stone

fruits popped up at Roseville Farmer’s Market in May. This year will be an

exceptional year for stone fruits like apricots and peaches that will rotate

varieties as they ripe over the summer.

Talk about multiple personalities! Justin Rupple flies through

impersonations faster than you can say James Earl Jones.

He is a talented comedian. A talent for which he was well-re-

warded during a recent appearance on Dana Carvey’s “First

Impressions” television show. Rupple snagged the winning

number of votes and earned $10,000.

Winning anything is a real coup for a comedian. It’s not like

acting or singing, where trophies are awarded multiple times each year. “It’s rare

because comedy is so subjective,” said Rupple. “When you crown a comedian, or give

them a prize, it means a lot.”

And about Dana Carvey? “He was great,” Rupple said. “He just wants to make other

people shine. He continues to do that for comics every day and I’m eternally grateful

for it.”

Rupple is also an actor. He recently finished filming “Operation Chromite” with Liam

Neeson, who he also impersonates, although not during filming.

“I don’t know how a comedian lands that job, but I’ll take it,” Rupple said.

Neeson did come up with new impersonations for Rupple to do. “Anybody but him,”

Rupple said. “The rule was that I wasn’t allowed to impersonate him because if I did

an Irish accent it would affect his American accent in the film.”

Rupple plays “Alexander Haig,” the fifth lead in “Operation Chromite.”

He has also been on “Scorpion” and “Comics to Watch” on CBS, “Partners” on FX, Fox

and Lifetime. He also hosted the “2015 Divas Day Out” in Reno.

Bring on the comedy

Rupple got his start doing impressions on college radio. He would impersonate teach-

ers and administrators. “I got in trouble for it,” he said.

He studied broadcast journalism and sociology. “If you’re keeping track at home, that’s

a degree in how to tell jokes to people,” he laughed.

Rupple’s favorite impersonations are all the Seth MacFarlane voices. He cites “Family

Guy and “American Dad,” and actor Vince Vaughn, among others. “And now I’m doing

a Ryan Reynolds impression that’s a lot of fun,” he said. “I like staying on top of what-

ever new voices are captivating America today.”

Rupple performs over 80 impersonations, along with 15 original characters.

Standup comedy is his favorite.

radiate. It feels like you’re on a rollercoaster

with all of your friends and at the end it’s

just as exhilarating.”

And each standup performance is unique.

“Because it will never happen like that

Being a new dad

only adds to the

mounds of material

of this noteworthy

comedian, host,

voiceover artist and radio personality.

Jamie Kaler is also a former U.S. Navy lieutenant.

Now, that’s something you won’t hear many

comedians say.

He is best known for his starring role as Mike on

the TBS show “My Boys” and as host of “America:

Facts vs. Fiction” on the American Heroes Channel.

Kaler has also appeared on “Friends,” “Will and

Grace,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “Parenthood,”

and “King of Queens,” as well as feature films and

commercials. He is the spokesman for the current

Ford Motor Company commercial campaign.

Kaler had his own radio show called “Kaler” on

SiriusXM, and is a contributing lifestyle writer for

Disney’s Babble.com.

His standup act sometimes follows a theme along

the line of why we push to keep up with social

media. “Why are we trying so hard to get all this

done,” he said. “It won’t be remembered in three

generations anyway.”

His jokes “appeal to people who are family people,”

he said. “Who have one night out a month, have a

babysitter … . Those are the people who I reward.”

Kaler knows a lot about these families. He and his

wife have two little ones. He joked that he’s taking

more standup gigs solely to get away from the

kids.

But as many comedians who have honed their

comic skills, Kaler appeals to many. And he’s an

interactive comedian.

“I kind of go where the audience goes,” he said. “I

make sure everyone has a good night.”

By that, Kaler said every show is a little different,

but with the same premise: “How to be happy in

life.”

“Part of the specialty of the farmers’ markets

is when you have small farms, varieties come

and go, which add to the joy of shopping,”Arnold said.

If people have access or chose to buy freshly

picked produce, they would have a whole

different relationship to vegetables.

This season the market seems to be providing

summer varieties early. The Natural Trading

Company was the first of the local farmers to

offer first cherry tomatoes in May.

The Newcastle based farm sells their local-

ly grown goods to three farmers markets

weekly. Tess Sullivan of Natural Trading

Company said they have been growing and

selling produce for the past 21 years. They’ve

added eggs to the markets which produced by

pasture raised hens.

Sullivan said that Natural Trading Company is

a one-stop shop for many of their customers

because of the varieties of produce they offer

as well as their fresh eggs.

Eating locally produced becomes a way of lifewith options like the farmers markets. Small

farms like Natural Trading Company go to

great lengths in supplying nutritious produce

with using sustainable techniques, picking

produce just hours before delivering to the

market.

“We take tending our soil very seriously.

It’s not just about purchasing organically

produced food, we nurture our soils, so that it

last for generations to come,” Sullivan said. ◆

WRITTEN BY NEW CAR TEST DRIVE ▼ PHOTOS ARE SPECIAL TO FOOTHILL MAGAZINE

The Chevrolet SS is a full-size four-door sports sedan with one

engine, a huge 6.2-liter V8. There’s really only one competitor to

the SS, and it’s a worthy one, a Dodge Challenger with a 392 cu-

bic-inch Hemi. There is also the 707-horsepower supercharged

Challenger Hellcat, but that’s in a tire-smoking world of its own.

The SS is Chevrolet’s first rear-wheel-drive sedan since the 1996

Impala, which lives today as a front-wheel-drive car. But it’s not

the Impala that the SS has evolved from, it’s the 2008 Pontiac

G8 that was developed Down Under. GM sent engineers from

Detroit there to work on that car.

In Australia, GM calls itself Holden. There, the throaty Com-

modore SS is seen as the last muscle car, prestigious and high

profile on those long flat highways. Despite the lack of corners,

and the low speed limits enforced around the cities by Big

Brother cameras, the Australian-built cars have always handled

better than the American-built ones (just as the Australian V8

Supercar Series blows NASCAR off the track when it comes to

road course execution and excitement). The SS benefits fromits Australian experience, mainly in the excellent balance from

52/48 weight distribution, and carefully developed multi-link

rear suspension.

Another thing about the SS: it’s a cop car. It’s refined, and it has

style, but a strip search will uncover a Chevrolet Caprice PPV

(Police Patrol Vehicle). The Blues Brothers never had it so good.

With only the big V8 engine, the SS isn’t intended to be a big

seller. Chevrolet appears to build it just because it can, and to

keep its tradition alive. Also to keep enthusiasts happy (as if

they couldn’t be happy with the stunning Corvette and dazzling

Camaro SS). And perhaps to make the folks at Chevrolet happy

to see it here.

That V8 is a 415-horsepower version of the previous-generatio

Corvette LS3 engine (70 horsepower less than the Hemi engine

in the Dodge Challenger). It comes with a solid 6-speed manua

transmission (truly old school in a full-size sedan), or a 6-speed

automatic that unfortunately isn’t up to the task. It accelerates

from zero to sixty in 4.7 seconds, and sounds nice doing so, a

burble at zero and bark at sixty. Beefy Brembo brakes, Magnetic

Ride Control dampers, and 19-inch forged aluminum wheels

with Z-rated tires are standard. Cops need that stuff.

The SS hasn’t been crash tested, because it is low volume. It get

an EPA-rated 17 miles per gallon Combined city and highway

driving, with either the manual or automatic transmission;

that’s 15/21 mpg City/Highway with manual, 14/21 mpg City/

Highway with automatic. However, the manual avoids the

$1,300 gas guzzler tax, don’t ask us why.

Driving ImpressionsWe wouldn’t enter the Chevy SS in an Australian V8 Supercar

race, but the Aussie and visiting Detroit engineers did a true-

blue fair dinkum job in building a chassis that’s a cut above

the standard. It’s not easy to get cornering balance out of a

rear-wheel-drive car with a big heavy engine in front (although

Cadillac engineers did it, without Australian help, in the CTS-V)

Final Word

If you want a 21st century muscle car, and you’re not a MoPar

man, the Chevy SS is all there is. That’s not bad. But go for the

manual transmission, and work with it. Stay true to the dream.◆

MEADOW VISTA

SPECIAL TO FOOTHILL MAGAZINE

For a town or village to have a sense of com-

munity, it must have occasions to meet and

places to congregate. Meadow Vista has had

its schools, churches, parks and businesses

where people have gathered to socialize,

worship, learn and conduct business. The

beautiful parks and schools have provided

meeting places for outdoor activities, but

for decades our citizens have felt a need for

a central meeting place with a recreation

building where both old and young could

meet. Since the 1960s, various organizations

in Meadow Vista have raised funds for the

construction of a community center.

• 1943 - Meadow Vista Friendly Neighbors

Club is formed and a need for a meeting

place was recognized

• 1947 - Auburn Area Recreation and Park

District (ARD) was formed

• 1950s - Meadow Vista swimming pool is

built

• 1960s - Meadow Vista Garden Club began

raising funds for a clubhouse

• 1970s - Various community organizations

held fundraisers and raised enough mon-

ey to purchase 2.1 acres adjacent to the

pool park. The Meadow Vista Community

Center (MVCC) Corporation was formed in

1972. When it was later determined that

the site wouldn’t support a proper septic

system, the land was sold and the proceeds

were invested. Celia Lyman Broadwell and

Joe Chevreaux joined the ARD board and

advocated the purchase of a 23-acre park in

Meadow Vista.

• 1980s - The Meadow Vista Park was devel-

oped with beautiful picnic areas, ball fields, a

lovely pond, tennis courts, restrooms and a

playground.

• 1990s - A Park and Recreation Master Plan

was developed in 1993, including a planned

$250,000 for the construction of a com-

munity center in Meadow Vista. This would

have been partially funded by the Landscap-

ing and Lighting District (LLD) proceeds. In

1995, the ARD Board voted to eliminate theLLD, therefore efforts to raise funds were

renewed. In 1996, ARD Board members

officially designated the hillside adjacent

to Meadow Vista Road as the building site

for the community center. The MVCC board

begins twice monthly meetings with Michael

Phillips as chairman, Celia Broadwell as vice

president, Bruce Broadwell as corresponding

secretary and Gil Jaramillo as treasurer. Other

board members were Marge Riboni, Brenda

Starbird and Erv Morgenthal. Architect KevinKellogg led negotiations with ARD for the

long-term lease of a building site at the

Meadow Vista Park. In 1998, attorney Curtis

Spoul negotiates a formal legal agreement

with ARD which made ARD and MVCC quasi

partners in the operation of the community

center. In 2008 ARD and MVCC, with the as-

sistance of attorney Alex Constintino entered

into a land lease agreement which changed

the quasi type partnership into a land lease

to MVCC for $1 per year for 50 years, MVCC

has prepaid the lease for the full 50 years.

The MVCC board decided that the communi-

ty center should not go into debt and would

be built as donations were received, this is

the reason it took so long for MVCC to be

able to open at least this one room today.

Several fundraising projects were initiated,

including the ongoing sale of engraved brick

pavers and park benches. Several annual

fundraising events were instituted to benefit

the Community Center fund, including Okto-

berfest, the Kid’s Fishing Derby, a Classic Car

Show, and a runn
