editor’snote

As I was looking through old photos

attempting to find a not-too-embar-

rassing pic of me with one of my child-

hood dogs, I came to the realization that we

had A LOT of pets over the years. Two Peking-

ese, two or three poodles, a Peekapoo (hmm…

wonder how that happened?), two pugs, two

or three yellow Labs (poodles and Labs were

mainstays), a beagle, a bloodhound, three cats,

two to six Chinchilla hamsters (the two started

a family), one chameleon, one bearded dragon,

at least eight gorgeous saltwater fish…and a

partridge in a pear tree. Some might call this a

pet shop; we called it home. To be fair, we did

live on a big patch of land—the neighbors didn't

hate us too much. The embarrassing photo that

I ended up going with this month is of our pug,

Rambo, and me. You can probably figure out

why we called him Rambo with this shot of him

in typical form. Looking back, he was likely just

showing his disapproval of my not-so-fabulous

hair. Thanks Mom and Dad. I digress. Rambo was a riot, had a never-ending

supply of personality, loved to climb everything, and was loyal to the end.

After seeing how many photo submissions we received this year for

Style’s annual People & Their Pets pictorial spread, it became clear that most

of us are very, very fond of our fur family members. It was a daily pleasure to

open each new email and instantly smile upon viewing local peeps and their

beloved pets. People even sent notes of sentiment for their pet or detailed

the memory associated with that particular photo. It was quite endearing,

but most of all rewarding, to put together this feature. Smiling is so satisfying

and this month will have you full of giggles. Turn the pages to find the area’s

cutest celebrity pooches, kitties and more.

Also this month, don’t miss our annual listing of accomplished local au-

thors and their published works in Shelf Life. In the Money department, Bill

Romanelli gives you “6 Steps to Reach Your Raise,” if you’re contemplating

an inquisition with your boss. Turning to Our Kids, Jenn Thornton helps

families not only prepare for packing lunches as schools take session, but

also shares practical advice from local professionals for helping kids make

smart food choices in “Childhood Obesity: 7 Tips to Trim the Fat.” And for

your pet’s health, Margaret Snider opens an old door to a new age of holistic

veterinary medicine in “The Whole Pet,” which introduces a more integrative

approach to accessing and treating your pet’s health needs as directed by

local veterinarians utilizing both Eastern and Western medicine. There are

surprising findings that give those with ailing animals more options. Read on!

Until next month, enjoy the pages of Style and the final dog days of

summer! •— Desiree

ran Christensen knows the secret

to getting kids to eat their veg-

etables. In her after-school cook-

ing classes across El Dorado County, she

introduces children to the basics of food

preparation and discusses the importance

of making food look good on the plate.

She then encourages them

to try foods they might not

have liked in the past. “More

times than not, students say

something like, ‘I never liked

mushrooms before, but I like

this!” she shares.

For Christensen, a retired

food service broker who has

spent much of her life work-

ing with food, the most re-

warding part of her newfound

career is exposing kids to the

world of culinary arts while also teaching

gettoknow

Q&A

Fran Christensen

them crucial kitchen skills, such as how

to properly hold a knife or how to put

out a grease fire. What’s more, she’s the

author of Cooking with Mrs. C: At School

and a forthcoming volume, Cooking with

Mrs. C: Parties and Sleepovers (cooking-

withmrsc.com). Her big goal for the near

future is to donate the bulk of

her books’ profits to school

fundraisers, in lieu of the cus-

tomary candy and junk food

sales. Through her books, she

hopes to give kids the confi-

dence to get cooking. “When

a child takes a book and can

go home and prepare a snack

or meal, they feel really em-

powered,” Christensen says.

I have little or no equity in my current home, but I’d

like to move to a different area. Is a move possible or

am I stuck?

The desire for a bigger or smaller home, with more or

less land, a pool, no stairs or a home closer to family

are just some reasons why sellers wish to move. Despite past

disappointing home values in our area, there are mechanisms

that now make a move possible for many. In this scenario,

homeowners can sell their current home at a price that leaves

them with little or no proceeds but enables them to buy a

replacement property at today’s low prices with the features

they want. When coupled with low interest rates and attrac-

tive loan programs such as FHA, VA and USDA, the “sell low/

buy low” concept can be a winner for many. The process can

be challenging, however, so enlist the help of an experienced

mortgage professional and real estate agent in your area. They

will have the necessary expertise to make your move a reality.

We plan to take our dog on vacation with us. What can

I do to make sure he’s comfortable and safe?

Most of us consider our pets to be important family mem-

bers, so it’s no surprise that many pets go on vacation

with their families. To ensure a successful trip, plan

ahead; research pet-friendly hotels and campsites, plan

your route to include frequent stops, pack a first aid kit and

always secure your pet with a leash before letting him out

of the car. Your pet’s vaccinations should be current, and

identification—including a microchip—is essential. In the car,

your pet should be restrained in the back seat, either with a

specially designed harness or in a secure crate. In the event

of an accident, proper restraint will protect him and others

in the car. Keep the temperature inside your car cool, never

leave him in a parked car, and check with your veterinarian

for ways to prevent and treat motion sickness.

Calling all breakfast lovers! Step back into the 1960s for that small-town feeling

of good food and family at the longstanding Train Station Coffee Shop. For 35

years, they’ve been boundlessly building relationships in their inviting, blue-collar

atmosphere. Walking in, I felt a surge of energy and comfort in the homey environment.

With such a great menu, I was glad my love for avocados directed my attention to

the Chicken Fajita Omelet. The huge portion

included chicken, onions and green peppers

in an egg blanket that was topped with sour

cream, salsa and mouthwatering avocado

slices—all served alongside crispy potatoes

and toast. As for the hot, endless coffee? Well,

let’s just say they really know how to satisfy

addictions. It’s far from your average American

diner in that, although the food is undeniably

flavorsome, the décor (think train station-

meets-record store) kept my eyes wandering with interest and a good laugh every so

often. At Train Station, they’ve embraced the act of serving a hearty breakfast or lunch

with pleasure—making every customer want to hop on as part of the family. All aboard!

When gold was discovered on January 24, 1848, just eight miles from

where Gold Bug Mine sits today, a new way of life was created in our

corner of this great nation. By 1860, hard rock mining began to take

form. In 1888, William Craddock filed the Vulture Claim, which eventually had three

mines—one of which he called the Hattie, named for his eldest daughter. By 1930,

William Meagher, who was the last of several claimants, filed a claim on the entire 62

acres and five claims that compromised Gold Bug Park. He also built a home at the

end of Gold Bug Lane as a summer destination for his family.

In 1966, the Bureau of Land Management reclaimed

the mine and surrounding land and leased it to the City

of Placerville as a recreational area. In 1980, Hangtown’s

Gold Bug Park Development Committee was formed to

protect and defend the property for public use. The City

of Placerville is now the only municipality to own a mine

in California.

Gold Bug Park and Mine can be enjoyed seven days

I’ve always loved beads and beading,” says Anne Dodd, a local lampwork glass bead

artist and owner of Spare Time Designs. Although she started off making polymer

clay beads, she admits to having a strong desire to work with glass. “I purchased a

set of lampwork glass beads on eBay, and thought to myself, ‘I would sure like to be able

to make these beauties myself...so why can’t I? What’s stopping me?’”

She researched the industry and found a local glass supplier in her area, Arrow Springs,

that offered classes. After completing a two-day course in 2005, she bought all of the

necessary glass, tools and supplies needed to make the transition. “From then on I was

hooked and have never looked back,” she shares.

What is it about lampwork beads that attracted the artist? “I love the ‘glass’ aspect

of lampwork beads,” she says. “Taking a single rod of colored glass and melting and

forming it into a beautiful bead is what makes it so special.” Dodd adds her own designs

and color to each bead, experimenting and fashioning new creations. “The possibilities

are endless,” she says. “Every day I’m still learning and continuing to stumble on new

ideas and designs.”

Dodd begins each process using a torch to heat the tip of a 12-inch rod of glass. Once

the glass becomes molten, she winds it around a metal mandrel to start forming the bead.

“I sometimes use a press to shape the bead or sometimes just go free-form,” she adds.

As the process continues, several other colors of glass, frit (crushed glass) and

silver foil are added to create the elaborate designs. A bead can take anywhere from

five to 30 minutes to complete depending on its size; Dodd usually makes between

10 and 20 beads per session.

Once formed, the bead goes into a kiln

at 940 degrees Fahrenheit. “When I’m

done for the day and the last bead goes

in, I ramp down the kiln a little at a time

before completely shutting it off. This is

part of the annealing process, which is im-

portant in keeping the beads durable and

strong.” Since it takes several hours for the

beads to cool, she’ll typically wait until the

next morning to take them out of the kiln.

Following the lead of other “hand-

made” artists, Dodd has relied on the suc-

cess of Esty to market and sell her pieces.

“It has grown so much in the past few

years,” she says. “Listing my beads is sim-

ple on their site, and I especially like all the

other ‘beaders’ and crafters I’ve connected

with.” Dodd’s beads are typically sold loose

in sets of five and 10, and purchased by

those looking to make jewelry pieces of

their own.

If she could pick just one of her fa-

vorite beads to make, it would be the

“pillow”-shaped ones. “They have a nice

sleek rectangular shape that everyone

likes,” she notes. “They are not too big or

too small and they lay flat...a nice size for

bracelets, earrings or any other type of

beading project.“ •

“Modification of habits will usually take

care of the problem,” says Dr. Seema Ma-

ple, who practices family medicine with

Sutter Medical Group, noting it’s good

to use products meant for sensitive skin

and avoid scented detergents and dryer

sheets. Other possible dry skin culprits

include conditions that require additional

treatment, such as eczema or psoriasis,

blood pressure medications, and hor-

monal changes due to menopause. Good

nutrition can help, too. Dr. Maple advises

eating foods rich in vitamin A, as well as

omega-3 and omega-6, including fish,

whole grains, flax seeds and walnuts.

EYESWhat you see: Bloodshot eyes

What it might mean: Allergies or

pinkeye

“There are many potential causes of

bloodshot eyes,” says Dr. Jennifer Li,

an assistant professor at UC Davis Eye

Center. “These range from relatively

minor things such as allergies or dry

eyes, to severe diseases of the immune

You exercise, eat right and take

your vitamins, so you must be

healthy, right? Maybe, but maybe

not. Look in the mirror for signs your body

needs a health overhaul.

SKINWhat you see: Dry, flaky skin

What it might mean: You’re using

harsh products and bathing in water that’s

too hot

system. The key is to know when [it’s]

important to have your eyes exam-

ined by an ophthalmologist.” With al-

lergies, you may have dry eyes or mild

irritation, as well as itchiness or a feel-

ing of having sand in your eyes; Dr. Li

suggests using over-the-counter arti-

ficial tears. You might have viral con-

junctivitis, a.k.a. pinkeye, if your eyes

seem bloodshot “with significant dis-

charge or mucus.” Dr. Li says pinkeye

frequently gets better on its own but

advises that it’s “important to practice

good hand hygiene and avoid touch-

ing the eyes to prevent the spread of

disease to others.” Go to an eye doc-

tor right away to prevent long-term

damage. If you have severely red eyes

accompanied by pain, light sensitivity

or a decrease in vision.

You probably don’t check out your tongue all the time but if it’s swollen, you need to

pay attention to what’s going on. “It’s common to have mild swelling of the tongue

with some colds,” says Dr. Maple, who explains rapid tongue swelling could indicate a

serious allergy. Other mouth issues to consider include a coating on your tongue and

halitosis. “A coating on the tongue could be from medication or germs in the mouth,”

Dr. Maple says. “Brushing the tongue is helpful to control bad breath.” •

“We lose 50 to 100 hairs daily,” Dr. Maple

says. “That is normal.” If you’re losing hair

in clumps, have scalp redness or itching,

see your doctor. Hair loss typically occurs

in women about four to six months after

childbirth and again during menopause.

Hair that normally would have been lost

during pregnancy stays with women

and may seem to shed excessively in the

months after giving birth. Other poten-

tial reasons for hair loss include polycys-

tic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid

disease. Dr. Maple also says crash dieting

can result in hair loss. Women lose hair

all over the scalp, while men generally

get a receding hairline. Volumizing treat-

ments and Rogaine—which, according

to Dr. Maple, results in new hair growth

in a quarter of the patients who use the

product—can be helpful.

4. GARDENIf the greens scene at your place is not

exactly flourishing, invest in a few contain-

ers and watch your little ones cultivate an

interest in homegrown goodness—and

a better relationship with food from the

ground up. Arrange visits to local farms

and U-pick orchards and kick up the cre-

ativity quotient at the store by playing

“Name That Fruit” (you purchase, they

prepare) and at home with “Veggie Iron

Chef”—the most creative recipe wins.

5. SCHEDULE SNACKS“If kids are allowed to free graze and fill

up on processed snacks and juice dur-

ing the day they will be too full and have

little desire to try healthful choices at

mealtimes,” says Carlson, adding

that a meal and snack sched-

ule allows parents to control

food choices and amount.

“Chances are they will be

more willing to try new

foods when they don’t

compete with go-to

snacks.”

6. AVOID LABELINGTagging foods as good or

bad “can make poor choices

even more attractive by elicit-

ing a desire for the forbidden,”

Carlson warns. But, when tasting new

foods is presented as an “adventure,”

kids are more apt to explore other

options, especially when taste, color,

texture and variety are touted.

Kids are growing up—and pack-

ing on the pounds. Here, Tamalisa

Carlson, MPH, RD, clinical dieti-

tian and health educator at Marshall Medi-

cal Center, weighs in.

1. SET THE EXAMPLE“Early on, children learn behaviors and at-

titudes about food and health from their

parents,” Carlson says. “Even without re-

alizing it a parent may [invite] a child to

ignore their own hunger cues by encour-

aging them to finish a bottle or the food

on their plate.” So, be a good role model

(eat well and exercise) and avoid mind-

less grazing.

2. CHANGE THE CONVERSATION“Moving” sounds more appealing than

“exercising” to fitness-adverse kids. Find

fresh ways to boost family fitness without

labeling it. Plan an after-dinner stroll and

forage for blackberries to top off frozen

Greek yogurt for dessert, or put your kids’

video-game obsession (and the Wii) to

good use and join them in dancing off din-

ner with the help of games like Just Dance.

3. GET COOKIN‘If you want your little sugar fiends to favor

healthier fare, enlist their help in preparing

it. Start with lunch. From ingredients you

provide (with at least one healthier ver-

sion of something they love in the mix),

put them “in charge” of packing. But, adds

Carlson, “Make sure your child gets a vari-

ety of whole grains, fruit, veggies and lean

protein choices to keep them fueled for

the day while avoiding the temptation to

reach for convenience snacks.” Graduate

to bigger meals.

7. SKIP THE DRIVE-THRU“While family meals around the table

are considered the cornerstone of good

health, fast food has become a way of life

for many busy families,” Carlson admits.

With the end goal to bypass the drive-thru

for good, start with compromise: Fast

food twice a month, with Mom deciding

the where and what. Schedule these visits

in advance and scout the best options

with the healthiest meal plans. Seek out

kid-sized portions and nutritious substi-

tutions, and avoid sodas (bring full water

bottles with H2O or zero-calorie fruit wa-

ter from home). •

Autism and Developmental Disabilities

Monitoring Network, approximately 1 in

88 children has been identified as having

an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and

although ASDs occur in all racial, ethnic

and socioeconomic groups, they are nearly

five times more common among boys than

girls. Additionally, the CDC reports that

medical expenditures for those with an

ASD are up to 6.2 times greater than for

those without an ASD.

FEAT parent Lisa Jeffers has been in-

volved with the organization since 2010

When Connie Mariscal’s son

was diagnosed with autism

in 1998, the complex range of

developmental disorders within the autism

spectrum remained largely mysterious. “A

diagnosis back [then] brought little to no

assistance,” she explains. “Implementing a

scientifically based program to help my son

achieve his best outcome was the only way

that I could help him.”

That same year, Mariscal began donat-

ing her time to Families for Early Autism

Treatment (FEAT), a Sacramento-based

nonprofit dedicated to providing valu-

able resources and information to families

touched by autism. Through a combina-

tion of mentorship and monthly support

meetings, social and recreational events,

and fundraising, FEAT serves hundreds of

local children and their families annually.

“My personal goal and mission,” Mariscal

says, “has always been to not have one

more mother, father or family shed a single

tear as a result of not receiving proper as-

sistance or intervention [and] treatment

for their child.”

Founded in 1993 by parents and treat-

ment professionals, FEAT’s founding

members began with a goal of improving

early autism intervention services in the

Sacramento area. Through a combina-

tion of grants and fundraising, they were

eventually able to provide intensive early

intervention training to both parents and

local health care professionals with the

help of therapists from the UCLA Clinic

for the Behavioral Treatment of Children.

“FEAT is the only organization that is with

families…in their school, regional center,

social security, or any other agency meet-

ing,” Mariscal explains. “We guide parents

through every process personally and

professionally.”

According to estimates from the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention’s

cause&effect

connected by a cause

Families for Early Autism Treatmentby Morgan Cásarez

and says it has been “a beacon of light” for

her family, which includes two children on

the autism spectrum. “I have never met so

many friendly people who are willing to

sacrifice their time [and] effort and give so

freely of their knowledge to help others,”

she says. “I feel understood and supported

by families and friends who have joined

this great organization. It is great to meet

others and make friends with those who

have similar struggles, dreams and wishes

for their children.”

“As the years have progressed, I have

had families tell me that if it were not for

FEAT they would not have known the many

options and avenues their children could

have taken,” adds Mariscal. “Personally, my

son is now 19 and getting ready for col-

lege. The road ahead is still filled with many

unseen troubles, as well as adventures, and

knowing that FEAT is there to help makes

life that much easier to manage.” •

Asking the boss for a raise is never easy, no matter how well

it’s deserved. Two experts on employment and career

advancement have some helpful advice. Laura Mason-

Smith is an executive coach and president of Mason-Smith Suc-

cess Strategies, and Cindy Coelho-Bunker is president of River

City Staffing Group and serves on the board of the Sacramento

Area Human Resource Association. Together they offer six tips

that will make asking for a raise easier, and could increase your

chances of success.

1. BE PREPARED, THINK “RESULTS”AND NOTE “PROGRESS”Simply being at the company for a long period of time or

having a list of completed tasks doesn’t cut it. Go beyond

what you’ve done, and explain what the results of those

activities were. Provide hard facts and numbers that

show how the work you’ve done helps the company

meet its objectives, makes it better, more profitable,

more productive and/or a better place to work. It’s best

to keep a journal of these accomplishments over several

months, as bosses typically only remember the last few weeks.

Best of all, deliver the achievements in writing—professionally

organized and presented.

2. TIMING IS EVERYTHINGDon’t ask for a raise after the company has undergone layoffs

or salary cuts, lost a big piece of business, or has already finalized

its budget for the next fiscal year. Equally important, don’t ambush

your boss. It’s best to schedule 15 minutes on their calendar (you

don’t need to list “raise” as the subject). Pick a time of day when

they are generally more relaxed and not busy, and schedule time

early in the week so they can consider your request before the

weekend.

3. GO IN KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT,BASED ON RESEARCHWith so many job boards and professional associations out

there, there are numerous resources available to determine what

someone in your job position, with your experience and in your

market, should be earning. If you’re below this level, that serves as a

good guide for how much of an increase to seek. If you’re above this

level, you can save yourself embarrassment and disappointment—

before inspiring your boss to do this research themselves.

4. DON’T LET YOUR REQUEST LANGUISHYou probably won’t get an answer at the meeting or even that

same day. It’s OK while meeting with your boss to say you

understand they probably need some time to think about it, and

set another appointment in a few days.

5. AVOID ULTIMATUMS UNLESS YOU’REREALLY WILLING TO WALK AWAYAll an ultimatum does is give your boss a reason to wonder why

they should give you more money when you are thinking about

leaving anyway.

6. BE CREATIVE AND WILLING TO COMPROMISEThe actual dollar amount you want may not be feasible, but there

are many different kinds of compensation. More paid time off, a

private parking space, telecommuting once a week, or a spot

bonus are just a few of the non-salary ways in which your good

work can be recognized. • Ph

Ellen Wilson arrived in Coloma in

1850. One story brings her as the

young bride of a gold seeker who

later abandoned her; another brings her

as a seasoned madam. In either case, by

mid 1850, she had settled

into a newly constructed,

two-story, seven-bedroom

house on the west end of

town near Sutter’s sawmill.

The establishment—she

called the “Lone Star of

Texas,” which earned her

the moniker “Texas Ellen”—

was one of the most ele-

gant in the Central Mines.

Wilson had a bartender, a

cook and five girls working for her.

The house changed hands a couple

of times, but the new owners never saw

a need to evict her. Edward McCabe,

the third owner, deeded the property to

Wilson as he lay on his deathbed. For one

month, she owned her house; however,

McCabe recovered and filed a deed of

revocation annulling his gift.

Wilson was known for her generos-

ity. She provided board for miners, and

was always ready to jump on her horse to

minister to the sick. She even grubstaked

miners down on their luck, never expect-

ing to be repaid. In 1852 and 1853, cholera

and small pox raged through Coloma.

Wilson closed her business and opened Gart

the house as a hospital. At a time when

many miners were living in canvas tents,

Wilson provided a warm, dry place to re-

cover—or perhaps die.

When the epidemic subsided, Wilson

resumed her business. However, on March

16, 1855, a paragraph in the local paper

noted the “unintentional killing” of Wilson.

According to the article, a quarrel oc-

curred between three or four vagabonds.

Several shots were fired, “one of which

took affect in the breast of Ellen Wilson.”

A romanticized version puts the pistol in

the hands of a man named York who was

infatuated with Wilson. He became en-

raged when he saw her dancing with an-

other and tried to shoot his competition.


Unfortunately, he missed and killed her.

Women in Wilson’s profession were

usually buried outside the Christian cem-

etery, but because of Wilson’s kindness

during the epidemic, an ex-

ception was made. At her fu-

neral, “a sermon was preached

and a number of persons

followed her remains to the

grave” in the southeast corner

of the Pioneer Cemetery on

Cold Springs Road. For more

than 100 years, her grave was

unmarked. Thirty years after

her death, a miner named

John S. Covington was bur-

ied in the same place, and his headstone

marked both graves. In 1975, researchers

determined the site of Wilson’s grave and

gave her a headstone.

Nearly 120 years after her death,

Wilson again haunted Coloma. In 1975,

the Coloma-Lotus Booster Club chose to

honor “Ladies of the Gold Discovery Era,”

particularly Wilson, at the annual Gold

Discovery Day. Two noted madams were

invited to lead the parade, but the ensuing

uproar prompted the boosters to withdraw

the invitation. The celebration, however,

still honored Wilson with the Olde Coloma

Theatre’s melodrama of She Was Only a

Child of Misfortune or She Left Her Home

for a House.•

When you have a place for

everything and your home

is primed to effectively sup-

port common activities and tasks—from

dealing with mail, bills and memorabilia,

to gifting, cleaning and more—it’s as if

a little weight is lifted from your shoul-

ders. Making small changes can create

efficiency in your day-to-day activities

and make your home a calm refuge.

1. START WITH YOUR CLOSET. Once you have your clothes edited down

to those you actually wear and love, it’s

time to think about how to organize

what’s left. Take a few tips from posh

clothing boutiques: Put together a favor-

ite outfit on a single hanger where you

can easily grab it on a rushed morning.

Consider keeping off-season clothes out

of sight so there’s room to artfully display

bags and shoes on shelves. You can even

display favorite jewelry on stands or hand

sculptures. Clo

2. STORE MEDICINE IN A LABELED BOX. The medicine cabinet

is actually one of the worst places to store

medications; the warm, damp conditions

can damage sensitive ingredients, and the

bottles and tubes tend to clutter up what

should ideally be a spot for getting ready.

Instead, transfer medicines and first-aid

supplies to labeled storage boxes with

lids, and keep them on a high shelf in the

kitchen or pantry. Sort them in a way that

makes sense and label accordingly (Kids,

First Aid, Cold & Flu).

3. BE PREPARED FOR BIRTHDAYS AND LAST-MINUTE EVENTS by

keeping a yearly birthday calendar taped

to the inside of a door, a basket filled with

easy gifts bought in bulk (and an assort-

ment of cards), as well as a few candles

and banners for an instant party scene.

Consider choosing a “signature” giftwrap

and ribbon for your house and wrap all of

your gifts with it, no matter the occasion.


People will begin to expect it, and it will

certainly save you the hassle of buying

themed giftwrap for every holiday and

occasion.

4. CREATE DOUBLE-DUTY STORAGE. Built-in storage tailored to

your needs is a great organizational solu-

tion. Options include wall units, cabinets

and seating. When planning for window

seats and banquettes, specify a flip-top

or drawer-front for extra dish, linen and

seasonal storage.

5. KEEP A SECOND SET OF BASIC CLEANING SUPPLIES IN THE BATHROOM. It’s so much easier

to tackle an undesirable chore like clean-

ing the bathroom when the supplies you

need are at hand. Store a second set of

bathroom-specific products and tools in

the cabinet under the bathroom sink, or in

a lidded basket on a shelf.

6. PRE-SORT YOUR INCOMING MAIL. Rather than putting it all in one

big tray or pile, place magazines, catalogs

and other things you’d like to peruse in a

magazine file; bills to pay go in a bill bas-

ket; personal correspondence goes in a

toast rack or on a pretty tray; notices for

upcoming events and items to file can go

in another magazine file or a folder.

7. USE PHOTOS AS LABELS. Try

snapping a photo of the contents of a box

before storing it in the garage or basement,

and then use that photo to label the out-

side. A quick glance at the photo and you’ll

instantly know what’s inside. •

petAncient Wisdom for a New Age by Margaret Snider

“This Integrative Medicine Service will

start with disciplines like acupuncture,”

says Dr. Marilyn Koski of UC Davis, who

is among the clinical faculty of that ser-

vice. “We also offer veterinary physical

rehabilitation, which includes muscle

and joint mobility work, exercise, range-

of-motion therapy, underwater tread-

mill, and low-level laser therapy. We

hope to expand to offer other thera-

pies like geriatric pain management,

herbal medicine, chiropractic and hos-

pice care.”

Koski, a doctor of veterinary medi-

cine (DVM) and certified veterinary acu-

puncturist (CVA), has been in private

practice for 20 years, treating dogs, cats

and exotic species with both Western

medicine and acupuncture. For 11 years

she taught in the Companion Avian Ex-

otic Pet Medicine Service, a service that

treats pet birds, reptiles, fish, rabbits

and rodent species. She has used acu-

puncture in treating dogs, cats, lizards,

rabbits, tortoises, birds and exotic spe-

cies—any pet animal,

she says.

“Alternative, ho-

listic, Eastern and

complementary med-

icine are some of the

many terms used to

describe a wide array

of disciplines,” Koski

says. “I like to refer

to acupuncture as a

complementary med-

icine or integrative

medicine, because I

like to use it in addi-

tion to, or integrating it into a Western

therapy.” Holistic generally means treat-

ing the whole patient, rather than only

a localized problem. Acupuncture, she

says, is certainly one way to do that.

A number of years ago, Koski was

actually a skeptic about the efficacy

of acupuncture. She worked for a wild

animal park in Hong Kong and her col-

leagues, though educated in England

and Australia, were Chinese veterinar-

ians and incorporated acupuncture

into their Western treatments. “I would

see their patients respond and improve

more quickly,” Koski says. “They would

be eating sooner after surgery, they

would be walking

more comfortably,

they would be using

less pain medica-

tion. So it started to

pique my interest.”

At that time Koski

suffered from severe

migraine headaches,

and her colleagues

suggested she try

acupuncture for the

problem. “I wanted

to be gracious to my

colleagues and my

hosts, and I went for acupuncture three

times,” Koski says. “I never suffered from

[a] migraine again, and that’s when I

decided I needed to learn more about

this.”

says that 50 to 60 percent of his clients

wish to use some aspect of alternative

care as a complement to traditional care.

“I’ve always been interested in treating

animals nutrition-

ally, because I knew

there was a need,”

Bader says. He uses,

among other diag-

nostic and treat-

ment tools, applied

kinesiology, thera-

peutic laser and

homeopathic medi-

cine, and he trained

in acupuncture for

animals at Colorado

State University. He

also treats animals

with a Skenar device that stimulates

acupuncture points.

A number of years ago, Jodi Van Tine,

DVM, MA, CVA, CVCVHM, of Folsom Vet-

erinary Hospital found that herbal medi-

cines and a change of diet made a huge

difference when her dog, Bailey, under-

went major abdominal surgery for can-

cer. As she explored Eastern medicine,

Van Tine discovered that acupuncture,

food therapy and Chinese herbal medi-

cine complement each other, creating a

triad of treatment modalities.

Acupuncture pinpoints collections of

immune cells, nerve cells and blood ves-

sels in the shallower parts of the body

that connect to spe-

cific internal parts

of the body via the

spinal cord. “One of

the things that I like

about it [is] it’s a lot

more intuitive and

more complicated,

and intellectually

m o re s t i m u l a t -

ing,” Van Tine says.

“When you get into

internal medicine,

Eastern medicine is

more multidimen-

sional than Western.”

Van Tine has been practicing acu-

puncture since 2006. “The really ben-

eficial thing about Chinese medicine is

you can detect changes before critical

INCREASING ACCEPTANCE UC Davis is not alone in offering integra-

tive treatments. Many veterinarians have

found acupuncture and other holistic

modalities to be useful.

Alternative veterinary services are

becoming both more popular and more

available. Dean Bader, DVM, of Shingle

Springs Veterinary Clinic, for example,

“my whole push behind this is to

help people who’ve recently Adopted

or rescued An AnimAl to connect with their new pet

And the AnimAl to connect with

them.”

disease develops,” she says. “You can restore patients to a more healthy state so

that they don’t develop the disease either as severely or as quickly—or, potentially,

if all goes well, ever.”

Pets can also benefit from massage. Certified Massage Therapist Tilisa May gives

massage therapy to people at The Healing Light Institute in Auburn. Though she

started out giving massage just to people, says May, “at the same time I’m volunteering

and very actively involved in animal rescue here in the Auburn area and Placer County.”

She also periodically offers a class to the public—Introduction to Pet Massage. “My

whole push behind this is to help people who’ve recently adopted or rescued an ani-

mal to connect with their new pet and for the animal to connect

with them,” May shares. She says that massage can also be

beneficial to aging pets. “As we get older and age, our joints

get stiff, our muscles get stiff and we just don’t move around

as much as we used to; massage really helps that, in

people as well as animals.”

THE VETERINARIAN’S OATHThe mission for all therapies utilized to better

the welfare of the animals treated, as stated

in the Veterinarian’s Oath, adopted in 1969

and last amended in 2010, by the American

Veterinary Medical Association.

It reads:

Being admitted to the profes-

sion of veterinary medicine,

I solemnly swear to use

my scientific knowledge

and skills for the bene-

fit of society through

the protection of

animal health and

welfare, the pre-

vention and relief

of animal suffering,

the conservation of

animal resources,

the promot ion of

public health, and the

advancement of medical

knowledge.

I will practice my profession, with dignity, and in

keeping with the principles of veterinary medical

ethics. I accept as a lifelong obligation the con-

tinual improvement of my professional knowledge

and competence.

While holistic remedies may be disparaged by

some as exotic or bizarre, it would be the rare

veterinarian who did not try to live up to the

oath, whether he or she is labeled holistic, in-

tegrative, Western, traditional, alternative or

anything else. •

Heyday CaféA Popular Place for Food with Glory

by Jennifer ResnickePhotography by Dante Fontana

In case you needed yet another reason to

visit the nostalgic streets of downtown

Placerville, there’s Heyday Café—an en-

ticing eatery boasting smiling sunflowers in

its window boxes and an American-chic-

meets-hip wine bar ambiance inside.

When my husband and I arrived on a

busy Friday night, we picked our spot by an

exposed vintage brick wall. The steel fans

and track lighting modernize the otherwise

rustic dining room; its remaining walls are

splashed with a warm yellow.

The menu is fine dining enough to

impress, without being so haughty that

you find yourself struggling to pronounce

The menu is fine dining enough to impress, without being so haughty that you find yourself struggling to

pronounce the offerings.

the offerings. A delightful truffle gnocchi

with cherry tomatoes and basil is a great

example of the cafe’s upscale tweaks on

familiar dishes. We ordered off of the win-

ter/spring menu, but the summer menu

debuted mid-June and features the same

balance of freshness and decadence. I es-

pecially want to return for the Yuzu Citrus

Ahi Tuna appetizer—stacked with avocado,

Fresno chiles and microgreens

We moved onto our entrées (happily

our waiter avoided the inevitably awkward

“what should I do with my fork” moment

between courses by bringing fresh cut-

lery), and my crab linguine with mint and

basil was remarkably clean and refreshing.

Providing a lively red color and tasty spark

was a Fresno chili pepper, which had a slow

enough heat to not overpower the subtle

flavors of the crab, but kicked in enough

at the end to cut the richness of the sauce.

My husband went for the filet mignon

with an espresso-chili compound butter

(more subtle than it sounds), accompa-

nied by seasonal vegetables and mashed

red potatoes. The steak was melt-in-your-

mouth delectable and though you may

want to slather the meat with that butter,

we suggest saving some for your mashed

potatoes. The summer menu’s Vietnamese

Skirt Steak offering, served alongside Asian

slaw and garlic mashed potatoes, looks

equally as praiseworthy.

From the dessert menu (which also

features Port and coffees), we had a rich

chocolate brownie served with vanilla ge-

lato and a homemade fudge that gives

chocolate shops a run for their money.

With an ample wine selection, vibrant

appetizers and entrées and indulgent des-

serts, this may just be our new go-to date

place (and our new “just because place”). •

kanpai sushiby Patrick CarterPhotography by Dante Fontana

A Fresh Face in Folsom’s Sea

Kanpai Roll


My first impression of new sushi

restaurants is always based on

a particular menu item. Raw

fish, you ask? Well, no, it’s actually fried

fish—soft-shell crab to be exact. When

fresh and cooked correctly, soft-shell

crab is the eighth wonder of the world,

and Kanpai’s creation scored remark-

ably. It was served perfectly—lightly

breaded, deep-fried and paired with

ponzu for dipping. In a word: incredi-

blydelicious. (Yes, it deserves its own

new word to describe it!)

After departing soft-shell-crab

heaven, we moved on to another appe-

tizer, the Fireball, which featured spicy

tuna, cream cheese and jalapeños, all

stuffed inside inari, then fried with panko

and served with teriyaki sauce and spicy

mayo. It was so stunningly delicious we

ordered a second.

We decided to go unconventional

on the rolls: chicken and veggies.

“Chicken?” you inquire with an incredu-

lous look? Yes, chicken. The first that we

ordered was the aptly named Colonel

Sanders—a mix of fried chicken, teriyaki

sauce, spicy mayo and green onions.

For the veggie selection, we went with

the Vegi-Ten—tempura yam, carrot and

zucchini with sliced avocado, teriyaki

sauce and sesame seeds. Once again,

we were impressed.

I also decided to go for a standard

Tekka Maki Tuna roll. Firm and delicate—

without being too fishy or too plain—it

was obviously an excellent piece of fish,

which speaks volumes about Kanpai’s

chef and his ability to choose and buy

fish—a job criterion that’s fundamen-

tally important to the success of a sushi

restaurant.

In addition to the food, the beer was

served very cold—just how I like it—and

the wine selection was also good with

no surprises. While we didn’t partake

in any sake drinking, the bases seemed

covered quite well with their offerings.

The real question is, “Did Folsom re-

ally need another sushi restaurant?” My

head was leaning toward no, but after

this encounter, my eyes and taste buds

were immediately moved to—yes! •

Pizza with Pears, Pecorino and walnutsFrom The Grilling Book by Bon appétit

(Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2013, $45)

This sweet-and-savory pizza mines the fla-

vors of a classic Italian cheese plate: slices

of ripe pear, a wedge of Pecorino and a

handful of cracked walnuts.

• All-purpose flour, for dusting

• 2 lbs. store-bought fresh pizza dough,

room temperature

• Vegetable oil, for brushing

• 12 oz. aged Manchego, Parmesan

or Pecorino

• 2 pears (about), halved, cored, very

thinly sliced

• 2/3 cup walnut pieces, coarsely

broken

• Freshly cracked black pepper

• Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Build a medium-hot/medium-low, two-

zone fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas

grill to high. Sprinkle two rimless baking

sheets with flour. Divide dough into two

equal pieces; roll out each piece on a

floured work surface to a 15-inch round.

Transfer to prepared baking sheets.

Brush grill grate with oil. Place one

dough round on grate on hotter side of

grill and cook until lightly charred and

no longer sticking, 2-3 minutes. Using

tongs, turn dough over and grill until

cooked through, 1-2 minutes longer. Us-

ing a spatula, transfer crust to rimless

baking sheet. Repeat with second

dough round. If using a gas grill, re-

duce heat to medium.

Thinly slice cheese; arrange

atop crusts, leaving a 1/2-inch

plain border. Cover cheese with

a single layer of pear slices

(there may be some pear left

over), and then scatter walnuts

over top.

Working one at a time, slide

pizzas from baking sheets onto

cooler part of grill. Cover grill

and cook pizzas until cheese

softens and bottoms are crisp,

4-5 minutes. Transfer pizzas to

work surface. Season with pep-

per; drizzle with oil. Makes two

15-inch pizzas. Recip

Mohua sauViGnon Blanc 2012The Mohua label comes from Peregrine Winery, which is passionate about

the conservation of birdlife in New Zealand—so much so that part of their

proceeds goes toward the cause. The wine’s moniker comes from the bird

of the same name, mohua, which is small, colorful and only found on New

Zealand’s South Island.

Mohua Sauvignon Blanc 2012 is a super juicy, classic Sauvignon Blanc

from Marlborough, New Zealand, an area currently making some of the

best wines in the world. They’re especially known for their Sauvignon

Blancs, which are distinctively different from Napa-style ones and Pinot

Noirs. This particular wine is full of lime and citrus flavors, and if you’ve

ever had a gooseberry (a fruit often mentioned with great New Zealand

Sauvignon Blancs, but rarely seen in this area), you’ll recognize its flavor

all over the palate. This particular bottle pairs nicely with summer foods—

especially grilled pizza with pears, pecorino and walnuts—and is also

perfect to sip. The screw cap makes it even easier to enjoy a glass on the

patio…before enjoying more with dinner! If you have a chance, buy some

Mohua; at approximately $13 a bottle, it’s a lot of wine for the price. •—richard righton

CELEBRITY CITYFrom 1986-1988, Clint Eastwood served as mayor of this beach

community. Appointed with 72.5 percent of the vote, this election

brought out twice the amount of voters of typical Carmel elections.

Why did a successful celebrity want to be mayor? He was tired of

the bureaucracy and red tape of local city government when he

was trying to construct a small building in downtown Carmel and

decided, “‘Bout time this town had a new sheriff” (that’s for all you

Eastwood buffs). He only served one term before returning to his

acting career. Locals told us Eastwood still resides in Carmel and is

often seen around town!

BRING FIDO…AND THE FAMILYDid you know Carmel is super dog-friendly? Yes, when you visit this

upscale locale you don’t have to leave your pooch at home. You can

thank celebrity Doris Day, who’s currently part owner of the Cypress

Inn, for being instrumental in Carmel hotels allowing guests to bring

their dogs. There are many pet-friendly hotels in the area, but one of

our favorites is the Hofsas House. This quaint Bavarian-themed hotel

is family run and allows pets in certain rooms. Have human family

members to bring along? The Hofsas House can accommodate your

whole clan, thanks to their family suites, which boast amenities like a

full kitchen and—in select suites—private decks with gorgeous ocean

views. The heated pool will keep the little (and big) ones occupied, too.

carmelTickle Your Fancyby Brenna McGowan

Carmel Beach

If you live in northern California, and perhaps anywhere in

the U.S., you’ve heard that Carmel is a must-see destina-

tion. With world-renowned golf courses just miles

away, 17-Mile Drive, the Monterey Bay Aquarium

and many more hot spots, Carmel (also

known as Carmel-By-The-Sea) has

much to offer…even more than I

originally thought. Read on

for some lesser known

Carmel trivia and hid-

den gems not to be

missed.

FOR MORE PLACES TO ESCAPE TO, VISIT STYLEMG.COM.

DID YOU KNOW?Not only can you take a leisurely stroll down to the beautiful Carmel Beach, but booze

and pets are permitted, too. Yes, not only are Carmel beaches dog friendly but alcohol-

friendly as well. Stop by Salumeria Luca Italian Deli & Bakery and pick up a picnic lunch,

then head down to the beautiful ocean and one-mile beachfront. Just remember: Going

down to the beach is much easier than the trip back up!

If you’re the heel-wearing type, be forewarned that wearing heels exceeding certain

heights is illegal in the one square mile known as Carmel-By-The-Sea. Yep, that is not

a typo—it is illegal to wear high heels! To avoid lawsuits because of cobblestone and

uneven sidewalks, the city put a ban on heels. No worries, though—simply apply for a

permit from city hall and carry it with you while you stroll the streets, heels in tow.

When you pull up your hotel’s address on Google don’t think it’s a mistake that you’re

not given a numbered street address; Carmel-By-The-Sea does not have numbered

street addresses, which can make it very interesting trying to find your destination.

A FOODIE’S FEASTOnce you find your hotel and get settled, you can walk to several local yummy restaurants.

Looking for something different? Try Mundaka, a local Spanish-style tapas restaurant,

which serves their dishes a-la-carte so you can try a myriad of delicious, authentic food.

If you’re looking for something a little more traditional, make the quick—and well worth

it—drive over to Pacific Grove’s Fandango Restaurant. Offering Mediterranean- and

European-style cuisine, Fandango’s extensive wine list is one of the largest in the world.

The Carmel Food Tour was our absolute favorite part of the trip. Be sure to take this

walking tour at the beginning of your stay—so you can make note of the places to return

to before your trip’s end. Most importantly, make sure to go hungry and buy your tickets

online in advance. The tour is full of amazing food paired with local wines…in other words—it

sells out fast.

THE VALLEY AND VINOA few minutes away from Carmel-By-The-Sea is Carmel Valley flowing with award-win-

ning wine. One not to be missed is Holman Ranch’s Estate Grown Pinot Noir. You can visit

the ranch’s tasting room, along with other local wineries’ tasting rooms, in Carmel Valley.

Holman Ranch also rents out their private estate for events, such as weddings, family

reunions, group meetings and corporate retreats. This beautiful ranch offers amenities

such as a pool, fitness center, and on-site guest rooms, not to mention the beautiful gar-

dens and Carriage House. We were pleased to learn that no matter what event Holman

Ranch is hosting, they will only hold one at a time, making your event even more special.

Whether you’re a foodie, wine connoisseur, golf lover, the travel-with-your-dog type,

or a beach bum, Carmel is sure to tickle your fancy. •

Answers by David Lawrence

Describe your business.

The Toy Tech is a family owned and operated business located in Placerville, just off

Main Street. We are an independent Toyota, Lexus, Scion, Honda, Acura and Subaru

repair facility that’s committed to helping customers with all of their automotive

needs. We use OEM factory parts and have more than 17 years of local experience.

What’s more, we offer a competitive hourly rate of $89/hour compared to the

average cost of $95-$117/hour at our competitors, while still providing all of the

services you’d receive at more expensive shops. We offer all manners of repairs—from

simple oil changes and regular maintenance to major repairs. Being a small, local

business has provided us with a great sense of freedom; it allows us to have a more

personal relationship with customers, and lets us serve our customers with none of

the pressure tactics found at larger shops. We are committed to helping customers

with their automotive needs and show them that there are affordable choices when it

comes to car maintenance and repair. We have many repeat customers; therefore, we often

know the history of each vehicle and are able to extend our best advice accordingly.

What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience?

My automotive career has come full circle. When I first entered the industry more than 17

years ago, I worked as an automotive detailer in the very location The Toy Tech resides today!

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

My beautiful family. I adore my amazing, patient wife, Bree, and our three rambunctious

children: Evan, Ella Kate and Jake, (ages 6 years, 4 years and 9 months respectively). I’m also

grateful that I’m able to pursue my passion for automotive repairs and make a business out of

it. Making a living doing what you love is a gift, and I’m truly blessed to have it.

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

My wife and I love Amerikan Ichi Sushi and Hog Wild Bar-B-Que.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

A little of both. I’ve always been good at keeping an organized home; when a friend

asked for my help, I realized that not everyone is good at keeping his or her home run-

ning smoothly with as little effort as possible. Things pile up, tasks get pushed aside or

forgotten, and the next thing you know you can’t even focus because you have so many

unfinished tasks and don’t know where to begin. That’s where I come in! My good friend,

Melanie, helped me come up with the business name. The hourglass represents time slip-

ping away. My hope is that I can help regular people spend quality time doing what

they love, instead of managing their mess at home, putting off tasks or feeling over-

whelmed. I also feel health is hugely important and find that people neglect their

health or don’t make it a priority. I’m thrilled that I’ve also added the benefit of

great health to my clients, by becoming involved with Visi, a line of health, well-

ness and anti-aging products. It will be the best thing I can offer my clients to

achieve great health. After all, who doesn’t want the best anti-aging products on

the market today?

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

My two amazing daughters (ages 11 and 15) who make me proud to say I’m their

mother. They are wise beyond their years.

What’s your biggest job perk?

I get to make my own hours and be available to my children when they need me. I enjoy

being able to make a huge difference in a person’s health.

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

Papa Gianni’s Ristorante—the food and service are consistently fabulous.

And finally, customer service is…?

I feel as if customer service is rare these days, which is why it is hugely important to me.

I think the most important component of customer service is listening to your customer,

knowing what they want and then delivering it and exceeding their expectations.

about going on vacation by yourself…to

a nice, quiet place where you can relax in

your folding lounge chair, while sipping

a cold strawberry daiquiri out of your “I

Everyone’s heard the saying,

“lazy days of summer,” right?

Well, August is now “lazy days

of Tom.” (Which is interesting, because

Summer is the perfect time

to be lazy; it ’s too hot to do

anything. People practically ex-

pect you to lie out in the sun and

drink ice-cold beverages all day.

You’re supposed to take naps on

the couch while watching baseball.

You’re supposed to go on vacation

and leave your worries behind.

But, have you ever noticed families

on vacation—the frustration, the irrita-

tion and the weariness all over their

faces? Vacations are work. You need

a vacation when you come back from

your vacation. Picture for a moment be-

ing with your family 24 hours a day for

a week. Now don’t get me wrong: I love

my family; I love them enough to not

go on a weeklong vacation with them.

My husband suggested a family

vacation this year. We compromised

with a five-day road trip up to Portland,

Oregon. A road trip means being in a

car—a very small, enclosed space that

you cannot escape. A trip to Portland

meant two full days in a car with a three-

and five-year old.

Side note to my parents: How in the

h**l did you survive road trips with my

brother and me without a DVD player?

The DVD player is like finding the pot

of gold at the end of the rainbow (un-

less no one can decide what movie to

watch for the 87th time). The fighting
