You Can Never Have Too Much Style 5 STEPS FOR PROPER PET PLANNING Pets are part of the modern family.

Our pets are our family, so it’s imperative we think about them when designing our estate plan. With these five steps from Stephen M. Fatula of McCoy Fatula, LLP, in Roseville, you can ensure your pets are cared for no matter what.

As the current vice president and area manager at First Bank, she’s proud to have spent her career working for local, family-owned banks.

Moynier also serves on the board of the Downtown Roseville Partnership, a nonprofit that sponsors community events and helps keep downtown Roseville safe and family-friendly. On October 29, the Downtown Roseville Merchants, Inc., along with the City of Roseville will host a Family Fun Night to provide safe trick-ortreating to area residents.

In her spare time, Moynier gives free financial literacy classes to students in the Roseville Joint Union High School District and assists veterans with career counseling, interviewing skills and job preparedness through the California Employment Development Department’s VetNet program.

season’s eatings

ask the expert Q: I’ve heard about numerous ways to use vinegar for cleaning—when should it not be used as a cleaning agent?

A: There are three different types of soils—acid, alkaline and oil-based— and vinegar is used to remove alkaline soils. For example, salts in pet urine convert to alkaline after drying, so it would take an acid-based solution like vinegar and water to remove salts from the carpet. My concern about vinegar is with natural stone tiles, which are in most homes today; since vinegar is an acid, it can damage natural stone.

Considering most household soils are acid-based, I would recommend a peroxide (oxygen)-based solution, which is safe for most cleaning.

PlacerGROWN and Foothill Farmers’ Market

WHAT’S IN

SEASON? Butternut Squash

A

s you prepare for fall festivities and feasting, pick up a sweet, nutty butternut squash from your local farmers’ market. This winter treat grows on vines and, although a fruit, has a versatility more typically seen in vegetables, as it can be roasted, toasted, puréed or mashed for an assortment of soups, casseroles, breads and muffins. Butternut squash is often mistaken for a pumpkin, as many of their features are the same.

SELECTION AND STORAGE When selecting a butternut squash, look for a heavy, blemish-free one with hard, dull skin and at least an inch of stem intact.

As a rule of thumb, squash with soft spots or other damage are not suitable for longterm storage. If you can’t break the skin with your fingernail, you have selected the perfect fruit. Store your squash in a cool, dark place, and it should last up to three months.

— Carol Arnold For details on where to buy Placer County farm-fresh produce, wine, meat and other 14 stylergbr.com - October 2015

DID YOU KNOW? When ripe, the fruit turns a familiar shade of deep orange and develops a very rich, sweet flavor. Butternut squash is a good source of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, manganese, magnesium and potassium, providing a healthy combination of nutrients. To prepare, remove the skin, stalk and seeds—which are not usually eaten, though they are edible.

One of the best ways to enjoy the fruit is in this month’s Roasted Butternut Squash with Honey and Bacon recipe (to view it, visit stylergbr.com).

The Green Boheme

V

egan is no longer a word carnivores should fear. Being a huge cheeseburger advocate, I was hesitant at the strange and limited options of a vegan menu.

To my delight, however, The Green Boheme has gracefully championed the cuisine—creating incredibly beautiful edible works of art that, surprisingly, taste even better than they look. Don’t believe me? I dare you to try their Tostada, made with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, fresh salsa verde and avocado on top of a homemade corn tortilla shell. To give it an extra twist, it’s topped with their “notcho” cheese (something like crème fraiche’s healthier twin brother) and a pecan-walnut filling that will leave meat-eaters stunned at the savory satisfaction achieved by this healthy meat substitute. I also ordered the Chai Latte Smoothie, a thick concoction that was zinging with flavorful spices and a creamy combination of bananas, Brazil nuts, cashews and durian. I felt like I was treating my taste buds—and my body—to a no-holds-barred day at the health spa.

There is some serious magic happening in Green Boheme’s kitchen…making healthy food taste addictingly delicious and imitating their non-vegan counterparts with finesse.

Word to the wise: Be sure to try their Zucchini Bacon BLT—it’s a house favorite and next on my list! The Green Boheme, 1611 Lead Hill Boulevard, Suite 160, Roseville. 916-4745609, the-green-boheme.myshopify.com.

Meet Your Chamber of Commerce Presidents

by Kristen Castillo

The next five years for Roseville: Managed growth will continue on the west side and the Campus Oaks Master Plan will invigorate the land around HP, Cokeva and Quest—providing a wide array of housing products, jobs and services, and a campus-like setting that we haven’t experienced before.

jeanette hawkins Harnessing the Power of Love

by Heather L. Becker photos by Dante Fontana

22 stylergbr.com - October 2015

R

ocklin resident Jeanette Hawkins and her band Jette—comprised of Eric Stitt on drums, David Beach on lead guitar and keys, and Brian Keating on bass—perform all over the regional music scene with their funky fusion of rock, pop, reggae and blues. For Hawkins, who began writing lyrics and strumming a guitar as a preteen when her family moved across the world, it wasn’t until she decided to pursue her dream full-time, that it finally began to come true. “I guess you could say I’m one of those people who refuses to live a life that isn’t in direct alignment with my purpose,” says Hawkins. “Living an inspired life means everything to me. I came to this world to fulfill my mission, and I’m determined to do it.”

HLB: When did your music really take off?

JW: A few years ago I decided that in order to live my dreams I was going to have to go all the way. It’s a really scary decision, but there’s magic that takes over once you declare to the universe what you want to do with your life. My career is beginning to take on bigger forms of my dream. This year alone, Jette has played at music venues I’ve always dreamed of playing at. Big things are happening and we’ve been enjoying the moment.

HLB: Where does your songwriting come from?

JH: I believe words hold power and what you speak about has a direct effect on what shows up in your daily life. My intentions are to create music that uplifts and inspires people, so I find a lot of inspiration in positivity and love. There’s nothing greater than the power of love, and I feel like a big part of my songwriting will forever be devoted to bringing more of that into this world.

HLB: How did your time living abroad in Romania influence your music?

JH: It was during that time when I devel-

oped my passion for helping others. My high school required 80 hours of community service each semester, and I chose to volunteer at the orphanage in Bucharest. Seeing what a difference we made in the lives of the orphans changed me forever. It made me see that even complete strangers can positively affect each other’s lives. My time there instilled in me a desire to change the world for the better. That’s why my music has common themes of universal love and is based on the idea that one person can make a difference.

HLB: Do you have an album?

JH: I’m in the process of recording my debut album titled Anything Is Possible. The name

comes from Jette’s motto: Anything is possible if you believe. It’s a powerful idea and one I’ve embraced these last few years. We’ll have around 10 tracks on the album, all of which I’ve written myself.

HLB: What’s next?

JH: We’ll be playing next year on the summer festival circuit in California. There’s a really beautiful vibe going on in the consciousness of these festivals—the mutual respect, camaraderie and feelings of unity and love are what keep me coming back each year.

tep into any grocery store and you’ll see what seems like an endless variety of cooking oils—canola, avocado, coconut, extra virgin, the list goes on!

But did you know they all have different uses in (and out of) the kitchen?

“There are many types of oils, all of which are made by pressing nuts, seeds or fruits,” explains Kirsten Ransbury, MS, RD, CDE, at Kaiser Permanente Roseville. “More nutrients are retained in cold-pressed oils.

[Although oils each have] their own unique flavor, with processing, many taste very similar. The main difference is in their smoke points—the temperature at which oil starts to smoke in a pan. That smoke indicates that an oil has been damaged and should be discarded.”

When choosing which oil to use in the kitchen, it’s important to think about the best oil for the job and the health effects, explains Debbie Lucus, MS, RD, CDE, and a clinical health educator at Sutter Medical Foundation.

get greasy All About Cooking Oils

by Kourtney Jason

Lucus also explains the oils can be lumped together based on fat types. Olive, peanut, canola and avocado oils are monounsaturated fats; grape seed, sesame, sunflower and soybean oils are polyunsaturated fats; and coconut, palm and palm kernel oils are saturated fats. Each of these oils affects your health differently. “In general, saturated fat is linked to inflammation and health problems such as heart disease and cancer, while monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are linked to better heath. Most oils are unsaturated, with the exceptions of palm and coconut. Coconut oil, however, is being studied to see if it can ward off Alzheimer’s disease and [so far] doesn’t appear to 24 stylergbr.com - October 2015

raise cholesterol like other saturated fats do, Ransbury says.” Lucus adds that extra virgin olive oil contains antioxidants, which are important to reducing the risk of chronic disease, while polyunsaturated fats—which contain omega-3 fatty acids (walnut, flax, canola)—have heart benefits (not lowering cholesterol, but preventing clotting risk).

When it comes to daily intake, Ransbury says it’s recommended that oil be eaten in moderation—due to the high concentration of calories. “Fat found naturally in whole foods is preferable (nuts, seeds, avocado, etc.). Essential fats the body needs to be healthy can be found in abundance in flaxseed oil, hemp seed oil, walnut oil and canola oil,” she adds.

Lastly, Stephanie Dodds, a healthy eating specialist at Whole Foods Market Arden, says it’s very important to store oils properly. “Air, heat and light cause oils to oxidize and turn rancid,” she says. “This is why you’ll almost always find oil in a dark glass container, and [should store it] in a cool, dark place. If oil oxidizes, it is no longer healthy to consume. Make sure no FOR OTHER WAYS matter what kind of TO USE COOKING OILS—BEYOND THE oil you use, it smells KITCHEN—VISIT and tastes fresh and STYLERGBR.COM pleasant.”

• For baking, canola oil is a neutral flavor, so it won’t change taste. It’s also a good source of essential fatty acids.

• If you do fry, you’ll need oil with a high smoke point, such as avocado, almond, peanut or safflower. When you sauté—which uses much less oil than frying—extra virgin olive oil, grape seed, canola and peanut oils are best.

• For dips, dressings or marinades, go for olive, flaxseed (not for cooking), walnut or sesame oils. “These all add flavor to your food,” Lucus says.

uring his sons’ military deployment, now-retired football coach Mark Soto would narrate stories of his older son’s stint in Afghanistan to his students, and they always wanted to hear more. His sons had undergone over 31 months of military combat deployment and saw many of their friends come back injured or with PTSD—some were even killed in action or had fallen victim to suicide. Seeing how these experiences affected his sons, Soto was forever changed.

When asked to take over a football showcase called “Battle at the Capital” in 2011, Soto saw this as an opportunity to honor his sons’ comrades. “As a father and football coach wrapped up in the emotional turmoil of my boys’ multiple back-to-back deployments, I saw this football event as being the perfect venue to speak straight to the hearts of the student athletes, coaches and communities [and educate them] about the needs of our military veterans,” Soto says.

Over the years, the event grew to be one of the biggest football showcases in the country and is now called the Honor Bowl, managed and produced by The Honor Group, a nonprofit founded by Soto and based in Rocklin—that raises awareness for veterans through athletic and community outreach.

They also raise money to help injured veterans by giving paralyzed and single or double amputee veterans special motorized Action Trackchairs. “These chairs give freedom to these people who have been unable to do things that they enjoyed before they were injured. Many are now able to fish, hunt and simply take a journey on a beach, trail or in mud with family and friends,” Soto says.

Soto believes education and awareness are fundamental to helping more veterans.

“People are aware of veterans, but they aren’t fully knowledgeable about how they and their families and loved ones are affected when they come home,” he says. To that end, they organize

the honor group A Passport to Hope for Patriots

Honor Tours—school assemblies where students, teachers, administrators and the community learn what The Honor Group is and does. Active military, as well as veterans, are invited to give speeches, and demonstrations—like a flag-folding ceremony for a Gold Star Mother when her son is being buried—are showcased.

These are solemn moments that install a deep sense of patriotism in the students.

So far, The Honor Group has had 105 schools, sports programs and communities throughout California, N eva d a , Wa s h i n g t o n a n d H a w a i i participate in their various educational

programs. They have also launched an interactive, online streaming video series called Honor Sessions, where a panel of veterans and professionals offer advice and insights to veterans and their families.

Through The Honor Group’s efforts to “educate, empower and equip,” Soto’s dedication to “those who choose to do things that could eventually place them in harm’s way, but know that through their actions, will give us the freedom to live what we consider a normal life here in America,” shines through.

one are the days of displaying every piece of crystal and china you own and somehow tying it in with the wooden turkey figurines Grandma gave you; and no longer is a burnt orange and brown color palette necessary. This holiday season, we challenge you to try the minimalist harvest table—a design that incorporates cheeriness without the disorderly décor that’s been passed down through generations.

day season—we’re building fires, stacking firewood, and now we’re putting it on our holiday table display. Incorporate soft but distressed elements like wooden plates, napkin rings, candleholders and chargers, to give off a hearth-like vibe. To tone down the timber and soften the overall look, mix in metals and feminine linens.

While most of us can remember our mother breaking out every holiday figurine from storage, we’re advising you to tuck away the trinkets in favor of a romantic and refined feast.

Complement the elements of your dinner with simple settings like layered linens and flatware, or set out a large textured centerpiece, like driftwood or faux antlers, to play up the theme while playing down the clutter.

4/Light and Bright Following the 2015 trends, minimalism can be transferred to the harvest dinner table by simply swapping out dense, dark dinnerware for crisp, clean cutlery.

To set the mood, a marble slab or tray can serve as a spot for side dishes while the holiday ham rests atop a bright white trivet. Freshen table settings with sprigs of herbs to add some sunniness and— voila—you have a heavenly holiday feast.

Whether you’re looking to impress the in-laws or just need inspiration for your annual holiday dinner, these tips will steer you toward a table fit for a king (or just your family and friends).

Additionally, he cares for special needs and medically compromised patients through his dental surgeries at Sutter General, Kaiser, and Greater Sac Surgery Center. Dr. Kris Martinson, along with his

Dr. Nawabi

family, have been so impressed by Dr. Nawabi’s skills, that they have endorsed him by becoming his patients. In a recent email, Dr. Martinson wrote: “Feroz, thanks for the great VIP treatment today. Now I can confirm with first-hand experience that you are the ‘right man for the job’ to replace me at Sterling Pointe Family Dentistry. My appointment today was courteous and professional.

These are the qualities which our patients seek and require of us, and you definitely met and exceeded all expectations…I was impressed with your diagnostic skills, treatment recommendations, and your execution of the necessary treatment…I am grateful to have you for my dental care provider…You have earned my highest recommendation. Sincerely, Kris Martinson, DDS”.

Dr. Nawabi lives by the following principals, “Integrity, Service, and Excellence.” Many surgeons and physicians also choose Dr. Nawabi as their dentist - this is why he is sometimes referred to as “the Doctor that Doctor’s go to.” Come experience what he terms, “The Royal Baby Treatment” which includes a healthy serving of gourmet, hand scooped ice cream from a renowned creamery.

Because let’s face it when it comes to the dentist, we could all use a little babying! We invite you to visit his office in Lincoln, CA, conveniently located in the Raley’s shopping center near the Del Webb community. To view Dr. Nawabi’s full accolades please visit his website.

Lone Buffalo Vineyards

7505 Wise Rd. | Auburn 916-663-4486 | LoneBuffaloVineyards.com

YEARS WON!

Walk into the tasting room at Lone Buffalo’s new North Auburn location and you’ll feel right at home. “It’s the experience that matters” is their mantra. The winery boasts some big awards too - their Tatonka Tempranillo, took “Best of Class of Region” at the last year’s California State Fair Wine Competition and their Rhone Style Blend, aptly named Where the Buffalo Roam always medals at the State Fair and SF Chronicle wine competitions.

Winemaker Phil Maddux has been making wine for over forty years - his roots go back to Sonoma County in the 1970s where he learned to make wine alongside some industry greats. He kept it as a hobby until about ten years ago when he and wife Jill decided to go commercial after they planted a small vineyard on their property in South Auburn which produced five different varietals - their first commercial production was a mere 100 cases. Now, having outgrown that space, they operate the winery, tasting room and homestead on a twelve-acre parcel in North Auburn right in the middle of the Placer County Wine Trail and produce about 1,600 cases/year. “We still want to stay small enough where we can do everything ourselves,” says Phil, who not only enjoys the craft involved in winemaking, but also, the farming aspect of being a grape grower. Nowhere is the re-emergence of the winemaking tradition in Placer County more visible than at Lone Buffalo.

bangkok café

A House of Exotic Goodness

by Jennifer Resnicke // photos by Dante Fontana

Poh Pia Pak Tod

T

here’s a new eatery across the street from Golfland Sunsplash that’s likely to make a few waves of its own. Bangkok Café boasts an impressive lineup of soups, salads, noodle dishes, rice plates, grilled options and classic curries—all served up in friendly and casual environs.

68 stylergbr.com - October 2015

Gang Ped

Black Sticky Rice with Mango Ice cream

The long, tall table running down the middle looks ideal for a quick lunchtime trip, but my plus-one and I came for dinner and settled at one of the tables along the restaurant’s edge underneath a bank of windows.

I didn’t even look at the menu before ordering a Thai iced tea (they’re undoubt-

edly my weakness), which came out quickly—and in a glass bigger than our water cups. There were a few appetizers that caught our eye, but we landed on the Poh Pia Pak Tod, delightfully crispy spring rolls stuffed with succulent chicken, carrots, green onions, cilantro, onions, glass noodles and taro.

Pad Thai is always a fantastic go-to for folks new to the exotic cuisine—with its chewy rice noodles sautéed with juicy chicken, prawns, tofu, egg, crunchy bean sprouts, garlic and ground peanuts— and I couldn’t resist trying Bangkok’s version. Be sure to squeeze the lime over the entire plate—the zing adds another delicious level of complexity.

I t s e e m s my husband is always in the mood for red curry (Gang Ped), so it was no surprise when he opted for the familiar dish. Spice options range from mild to “Thai hot,” and you choose the level that suits your taste. Served with jasmine rice and your pick of protein, alongside tender bamboo shoots, bell peppers and peppery basil, it arrived cooked to perfection in the requisite spicy-sweet coconut milk gravy.

But you’ll find the best reason to swing

by Bangkok Café on the dessert menu— Black Sticky Rice with mango ice cream.

The velvety smooth ice cream melted into the crevices of the earthy and oh-so toothsome rice below—resulting in a delicately sweet treat. It may be difficult to describe, but trust me: It’s worth the trip.

Served with jasmine rice and your pick of protein, alongside tender bamboo shoots, bell peppers and peppery basil, it arrived cooked to perfection in the requisite spicy-sweet coconut milk gravy.

taste CHICKEN WAFFLE SLIDERS WITH MAPLE MUSTARD DIP This recipe comes courtesy of Shingle Springs-based food bloggers (and sisters!)

Pearl Yoshitomi and Gale Hetherington. View their other mouthwatering bites and party favor ideas at bigbangbites.com.

Tomato Jam • 2 cups Roma tomatoes, rough chopped • 2 tbsp. sugar • 3 tsp. apple cider vinegar • 1 tsp. sambal oelek (found in the Asian food aisle)

• About 4 chicken thighs, cut into 16 pieces to fit the mini waffles (how many pieces you get will depend on the size of the thighs) • 1/2 cup flour • 1 tsp. salt • 1/2 tsp. pepper • 1/2 tsp. paprika • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder • 1 tsp. dried parsley • Oil for frying • 1 pkg. frozen mini waffles (you’ll need 32 individual pieces) • 4 pieces of thick-sliced bacon • 16 or more mini wafflesize pieces of pepper jack cheese (for pre-sliced cheese, cut into fourths.

You might need to use more than one piece if it’s thin. I used 3 pieces. If using block cheese, you can slice thicker pieces.)

Combine the ingredients for the tomato jam and cook until boiling. Lower heat to medium and cook for about 20 minutes until it reaches a jam consistency, stirring constantly. Make the maple mustard dip and set aside. Cook the bacon in the 70 stylergbr.com - October 2015

dinner date Food and Beer for the Season microwave according to package directions; mine took 2 minutes. Cut into fourths.

Salt and pepper the thighs. Combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and parsley. Dredge the chicken and set aside. Heat the oil. Dredge the chicken again, and then fry until golden. While they drain on a paper towel, set the cheese on top of each piece of chicken. This will soften and warm the cheese.

Toast the mini waffles according to package directions.

Assemble the sliders with the cheese on the bottom, chicken, bacon and tomato jam. Serve with the maple mustard dip on the side. Makes 16 or more.

ANDERSON VALLEY BREWING COMPANY’S BOONT AMBER ALE Like many craft breweries, Anderson Valley Brewing Company—founded on December 26, 1987—had humble beginnings. Based in Boonville, CA, they started brewing out of 10 barrels in the lower level of their original brewpub: The Buckhorn Saloon. Over the years, they’ve garnered numerous awards and have expanded twice; currently, their authentic ales, balanced lagers and barrel-aged offerings are crafted in a three-story Bavarian-style house.

Anderson Valley Boont Amber Ale was a gold medal winner at the 2014 Brussels Beer Challenge and is available year-round. Balance is what makes it unique—rich crystal malts lend a deep copper hue and slight caramel sweetness, while herbal, spicy bitterness (from carefully selected whole cone hops) impart a crisp, clean finish. Hints of sun-toasted grains, toffee and fruity esters complement the mellow, noble hop aroma. The combination of sweetness and spicy bitterness make it a perfect pairing for this month’s Chicken Waffle Sliders with Maple Mustard Dip; other friendly couplings include onion rings, grilled steaks, roasted chicken, pasta Bolognese and poached pears.

Dr. Grover Lee

WISE VILLA WINERY 4200 Wise Road Lincoln 916-543-0323 wisevillawinery.com

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

We buy and sell coins, jewelry, diamonds and high-end watches. We have a five-star rating with both Google and Yelp. It’s a family-owned and operated business; we’ve been in Sacramento for seven years with two locations.

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

I was a busboy at a nice restaurant and learned how to work with people.

How are you involved with both the community and your customer?

I work hard to help educate my customers—everything we buy and sell is real wealth and hard assets, so working with their finances is very important.

Who is your role model in business or in life, and why?

Bob Hallam from Avenue Coins—he took me under his wing and taught me how to make better buys, what to look out for, and how to be fair to your customers to get repeat business.

What’s your hidden talent?

I’m good at woodworking and very creative.

What’s your biggest job perk?

Working with my sons What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

Mikuni Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar Where do you and your family go locally to have fun?

Folsom Lake If you could be any other profession, what would it be?

A custom homebuilder And finally, customer service is…?

How you treat your customer, and making sure they feel like everything is handled with care, so that they leave feeling comfortable and knowing they got a fair deal.

Answers by Winemaker Kevin Luther Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

I met Dr. Grover Lee when he was first launching his business. When I drove up for the interview, he was planting rose bushes in what is now the entrance to the winery.

How are you involved with both the community and your customer?

Wise Villa Winery is heavily involved in community events, volunteering our time and wine at fund-raising events for charities on a weekly basis.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

On a professional level, winning Golden State Winery of the Year over the summer was the pinnacle of my career and the history of Wise Villa Winery. It’s still hard to process—it’s the kind of award a winemaker wins maybe once in his career, if he/ she is very good and very lucky. I’m only 31, and our winery is less than five years old. For us to win this so early in our careers is just mind-blowing. We’re so honored and grateful. This adds fuel to the fire, and we’re really excited about the upcoming harvest and the opportunity to make even more delicious wines.

What’s your hidden talent?

I’m a beast on the barbecue. I love getting together with friends and family on a lazy Sunday afternoon and grilling up a storm, cracking open some wine, and enjoying great friends, drink and food.

What’s your favorite local business other than your own?

I love Loomis Basin Brewery. I mean, who doesn’t love great beer, pizza and cornhole?

And finally, customer service is…?

Empathy and respect. I love sharing my passion with customers, and we find that our customers share our passion. When we experience hiccups in our customer service, we’re so incredibly thankful that our customers care enough to approach us with constructive criticism. We seek every opportunity to improve. By truly listening to your customer and understanding their experience, you gain perspective on your business and gain an opportunity to improve.

let it flow Save the Salmon

B

eneath a dusty autumn sun, the Sacramento River flows. And beneath the whorls and ripples of its impenetrable green water, the great fish return.

King salmon.

They’re back, invisible, save for the occasional splash on the surface or chaotic rip on a h o p e f u l f i s h e r m a n ’s rod. Otherwise, they lurk beneath the surface like restless subconscious thoughts.

The Sacramento River wa te r s h e d i s h o m e to the second largest run of returning fall king salmon in the lower 48. Only the Columbia has more. This year, there will be an estimated 700,000 returning after three to four years at sea, in waters as distant as Alaska. Yep—it’s possible that the “Alaska-caught” salmon you bought for $30 a pound actually came from the Sacramento River or one of its tributaries. But don’t feel bad for not knowing— they’ve never been very good about sending postcards. As of 2013, the FOR MORE TOM’S TAKES AND... economic value of sport WHAT’S COMING and commercial salmon NEXT MONTH? fishing in California alone DON’T MISS STYLE’S added up to $182 million.

“THANKSGIVING I’m pretty sure at least RECIPES FROM a tenth of that was from LOCAL CHEFS,” PLUS me, buying gear to try to MUCH MORE, VISIT STYLERGBR.COM catch them.

They’ve been coming back to the valley for a millennium, navigating their way along the coast with that miraculous ability they have to locate the waters of their birth without 82 stylergbr.com - October 2015

so much as Siri to give an address to.

And let’s not forget they’re doing this entirely underwater. At least birds have the benefit of seeing where they are.

It’s utterly impossible for us to relate to—I get disoriented if I close my eyes in the shower. Not to mention that from the moment they hatch, they’ve been dodging more obstacles than a contestant on American Ninja Warrior— the jaws of predators, the poisons of pollution, fishing nets, lures (some of those, mine). I am in awe of their ability to survive.

But the past few years have been a m o n g th e i r to u g h e s t te s t s ye t— returning to a watershed left low and warm by record drought. Meanwhile, the water that is left is being fought over like the last beer in a frat house fridge.

Sure, as long as there are hatcheries like

Nimbus on the American River (which of course is a tributary of the Sacramento and a great place to actually see these wondrous creatures), the salmon have a chance. But studies have shown hatchery salmon don’t have nearly the survival instinct—the street smarts, if you will— of wild salmon. Born into tough neighborhoods of moving water and river gravel, wild fingerlings a r e j u s t w a r i e r. A s adults, they’re better at surviving. So the more wild salmon there are, the healthier the population will be. But wild salmon feel the impact of drought the most. They need cool water.

Without it, many of the eggs will die without even hatching. But as our reservoirs draw down further and further, the task of maintaining cooler river water becomes tougher and tougher.

I don’t have an answer to California’s water future or know if there even is one that works for everyone and everything.

In the short-term, I hope this winter El Niño hits us like a fire hose. But in the long-term, I’m at a loss. I do know I am going to root for the salmon, and not just because I fish for them. Even if I don’t catch one (which is often), I love just knowing they’re out there. There’s something about them that’s as majestic as any redwood grove, as rugged as the Big Sur coastline, as timeless as our golden hills. It would be a shame to reach a day when their splashes are heard no more.
