...that the summer sun could deplete your hair of moisture and protein, leaving it dry, split and frizzy? Make sure to use professional shampoos and conditioners with sunscreens to help protect your naked hair from the sun. For added protection use a professional leave-in conditioner with sunscreens. Professional product line, Kerastase and their Soleil line, is specifically designed to counteract and prevent damage caused from chlorine, saltwater and the sun. If you do not currently color your hair consider getting a salon professional shine sealer or hair gloss. This will give your hair a protected barrier from the sun and chlorine. Make sure that your stylist is giving you professional conditioning treatments during your salon visits. These treatments will boost your hair with moisture and protein that it lacks during the summer months and provide you with instant gratification by leaving your hair shiny and healthy.— Lisa FlowersManager/Stylist, Atrium Salon Spa 6851 Douglass Boulevard, Granite Bay916-791-8585, atriumsalonspa.comFor more FYI including our Get to Know on Jared Pagett, happenings with the Roseville and Rocklin Parks and Recreation Departments, and Foodie Finds, be sure to pick up this month's copy of Style-Roseville Granite Bay Rocklin edition.

Davey “Doc” Wiser is a charming Placerville resident and icon. For 31 years he has been involved with the Highway 50 Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to recreating the early pioneer days designed for horse and wagon enthusiasts. The 59th Annual Wagon Train event, featuring California and Nevada’s oldest authentic wagon train, includes travels across California and Nevada. Davey loves to have a good time driving his stagecoach and riding the Pony Express, which yes, still runs deliveries for the right price. Davey even offers free stagecoach rides for the community, on select dates. He is very involved in the heart of Placerville by volunteering at local fundraisers. He loves chocolate candy (See’s to be exact!) with Madera wine and the calamari at Dante’s on the River. Don’t look for him online; when asked for his email address he replied, “I don’t have that, I’m just an old cowboy.” It’s great to see there are still folks with that good old-fashioned philosophy who can have just as much fun (maybe more, to hear Davey’s stories) without modern luxuries.

June Wanish, one of the founders of Roseville Arts and a former city mayor, has lived in Roseville her entire life. From the beginning, she seemed destined to make an impact on this town – she learned the importance of getting involved from her parents, who were always active volunteers in the community. Looking at the striking Roseville Arts Blue Line Gallery on Vernon Street today, it’s difficult to believe the organization was born out of a simple school fundraiser. In 1964, Wanish was a member of her daughter’s school PTA and helped organize an art-related fundraiser that was hugely successful. Realizing the community had an interest, she helped start a non-profit organization to promote the enjoyment of the arts and to support local artists. More than 40 years later, her dream is still alive. Roseville Arts, however, was only the beginning for Wanish when it came to helping the city. In 1978, she became the first woman ever elected to the City Council. “When I decided to run,” Wanish laughs, “everyone asked me what I was mad at. Apparently people thought you had to be mad at something to want to run for city council. But I just wanted to be involved.”  With all that she’s done, Wanish is most passionate about volunteering. “If there is something to be done, get involved!” she says emphatically. “You will gain so much. Volunteers are the backbone of the community!”— Christine HaleFor more on June Wanish, be sure to pick up this month's copy of Style-Roseville Granite Bay Rocklin edition.
