SPOTLIGHT Business

For Gail Lohmann, owner of Visiting Angels in Cameron Park, caring for seniors is not just a business but a lifelong calling. Growing up, she helped elderly neighbors as a child and worked in senior communities as a teenager. When she opened Visiting Angels Gold Country in 2009, she recognized an opportunity to expand her passion into a career dedicated to supporting seniors and their families.

“Many calls we get are crisis calls,” Gail said. “Mom or dad’s in the hospital, they’re coming home and the family suddenly realizes they need support. Our goal is to find the right caregiver, someone who matches the client’s personality and needs.”

What sets Visiting Angels apart is its commitment to personalized service and community connection. Lohmann, her husband Bill, and their team take time to understand each client’s needs, whether they require short-term assistance or long-term support. They also serve as a resource for families navigating

elder care.

“We hear often how much families appreciate that we truly listen,” Lohmann said. “One daughter recently hugged me and said, ‘You have no idea how much we need you.’ That’s why we do this.”

Beyond in-home care, Visiting Angels holds a VA contract to assist veterans and actively supports the local community.

Lohmann volunteers with organizations like the El Dorado County Commission on Aging, reflecting her dedication to seniors beyond her day job.

Our caregivers often become like family to clients who have no one else,” Lohmann said. “It’s incredibly rewarding to make this difference in people’s lives.”

For those considering care options, Lohmann offers this advice: “Call us even if you’re not sure what you need. We’ll take the time to help figure it out, that’s what community is all about.”

Safe Summer Fun in the Sun

FAMILY FEATURES

Summer is the season of sun-kissed memories – backyard barbecues, sandy beaches, bike rides and late-night stargazing. However, the warmer months bring unique safety challenges that can catch active families off guard if they’re not prepared.

From sunburns to scraped knees and dehydration to bug bites, summer’s surprises don’t have to slow you down. With a few simple precautions and the right tools on hand – like reliable first-aid essentials –you can make safety second nature and keep your focus where it belongs: on making the most of every sunny moment.

Here are a few smart, easy tips from the experts at CURAD to help your family stay protected from the sun, heat, water hazards and the inevitable bumps and bruises from outdoor play.

Shield Your Skin from Harmful Rays

The summer sun can be harsh, making it important to take steps to prevent sunburn, even if it’s partly cloudy or overcast. If you plan to be outside for more than 15 minutes, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 before heading outdoors. Remember to reapply to all exposed skin – including overlooked spots like your ears, neck and tops of feet – every two hours, or more often if you’re swimming or sweating.

Wearing protective clothing, such as wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses and light, long-sleeved shirts, can also help shield you from harmful UV rays. When possible, seek shade during peak sun hours, typically 10 a.m.-4 p.m., to minimize direct exposure.

Be Prepared for Summer Scrapes

Accidents can happen anytime, especially during active summer days. Having a well-stocked first-aid kit, including bandages, antiseptic wipes and ointments, can help you quickly address minor cuts, scrapes and blisters.

It’s important to have the right bandages on hand for every situation. Bandages made with breathable and lightweight fabric and a four-sided seal are perfect for those hot summer days. While bandages infused with natural ingredients like soothing aloe vera, vitamin E and baking soda offer a fresh approach to healing.

Proven to aid in faster healing, hydrocolloid bandages, like those infused with aloe vera from the CURAD Naturals line, offer waterproof protection that helps cushion and seal out dirt and germs for multiple days. By sealing in moisture, hydrocolloid bandages help promote the optimal healing environment.

Keep the Fluids Flowing in the Heat

During the summer months, the heat can quickly lead to dehydration, which can cause dizziness, headaches and even heat stroke. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty, to stay hydrated. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water (8 ounces each) each day, or more if you’re going to be spending an extended amount of time outdoors or engaging in physical activities like hiking, biking or playing sports.

Keeping a refillable water bottle with you can make it easier to stay hydrated on the go and replenish the water your body loses through sweat. In addition to water, consuming hydrating foods like watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe, cucumbers and bell peppers can help maintain your fluid levels and regulate your body’s temperature. Also avoid excessive consumption of caffeinated or alcoholic beverages, which can contribute to dehydration.

Keep Pesky Insects at Bay

Summer evenings are perfect for outdoor activities, but they can also attract mosquitoes, ticks and other pests. Protect yourself and your family by applying insect repellent on top of your sunscreen to all exposed skin and loose-fitting clothing. Reapply as needed, according to the instructions on the package.

Repellant fans, candles, torches and bracelets may be good alternatives to spray or roll-on insect repellants. Wearing long sleeves and pants, especially in wooded or grassy areas, can also help prevent bug bites. Remember to check for ticks after spending time outdoors and, if found, promptly remove them by using clean tweezers and pulling straight upward. Avoid twisting, squeezing or burning ticks, which can lead to the release of saliva or cause the head to break off.

Have Fun in the Water, Safely

Summer is the perfect time to hit the pool, beach or lake, but remember to prioritize safety while enjoying the water. Always swim in designated areas and never swim alone. If supervising children, ensure they are within an arm’s reach and wearing properly fitting flotation devices.

Avoid alcohol when swimming or supervising swimmers, as it can impair your judgment and reaction times, and be aware of your surroundings, including weather conditions and water currents. Enrolling kids in swimming lessons can also contribute to a safer experience in the water.

Visit Curad.com for more resources to help you safely enjoy your summer adventures.

Building Your Summer Scrape Kit

A summer first-aid scrape kit can be a lifesaver for those inevitable bumps, bruises and blisters. Keep your family’s kit in a waterproof case and in an easily accessible place, such as your car, pool bag or home first-aid cabinet. Make sure to keep it stocked with essentials for cuts, scrapes, burns, blisters and beyond, such as:

n Antiseptic wipes for cleaning wounds

n Antibiotic or antimicrobial ointment to help prevent buildup of bacteria

n Bandages like CURAD Naturals Hydrocolloids with Aloe Vera to treat minor cuts, scrapes and blisters

n Non-latex gloves to protect hands from dirt and germs

n Hydrocortisone cream for bug bites and rashes

n Sunscreen to help prevent sunburn

n Aloe vera gel for sunburn relief

n Water bottles to stay hydrated

n Ear drops for preventing or treating swimmer’s ear

n Insect repellent to help prevent bug bites

n Tweezers for removing splinters and pests

n Pain-relieving medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen

n Ice packs to help slow inflammation and reduce pain

n Thermometer to check temperature

n Other medications for allergies, nausea, congestion and more

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems.

This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may cause the nerves to degenerate.

As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow.

The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient

Upgrade summer lunches with nutritious twists on Grilled Cheese

When the kids are home for summer break, meal-prep becomes a must for busy families to ensure nutritious foods are on the menu. This summer, give your kiddos the fuel they need for all their warm-weather activities and adventures with a healthy twist on a childhood classic.

One bite into a grilled cheese sandwich and you’re back in your childhood kitchen, bringing all the nostalgic vibes you can pass down to your little ones. Plus, with nearly endless combinations, there’s a solution for everyone from classics to creative versions.

Fruit in a grilled cheese may not be the first idea that comes to mind, but these Blackberry Grilled Cheese Sandwiches offer a juicy, slightly tart burst of flavor tucked between crunchy slices of bread. It’s a sweet, savory lunch that’s just funky enough to impress while putting fresh produce on your kids’ plates.

“We love juicy blackberries - not just because they’re delicious, but because they’re packed with fiber,” registered dietitian Tony Castillo said. “That fiber helps keep you full, supports gut health and keeps your energy steady. Plus, blackber-

ries are loaded with antioxidants and vitamin C, making them a true superfood. They’re perfect for baking, savory dishes or just as a snack on the go.”

Picky eaters have met their match with Chicken and Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. Tender shredded chicken meets tart apple slices, ooey gooey cheese and whole-grain bread for an unexpected twist that will have taste buds tingling. With minimal ingredients and maximum flavor, they’re ideal for busy weeknights or lazy weekend lunches.

If you’re aiming to upgrade your cheesy sandwich arsenal, consider these tips from Healthy Family Project:

* Cook low and slow over medium-low heat so the bread reaches a crisp golden while cheese melts to perfection.

* Real butter or olive oil adds a level of crispiness and flavor.

* Experimenting with cheese can give sandwiches an extra boost. Cheddar is the classic option, but mozzarella, gouda and brie bring newfound flavor profiles.

* Look for the Produce for Kids or Healthy Family Project logo in your local grocery store.

Salmon fishing will start soon

California Department of Fish and Wildlife News release

While low Chinook salmon counts have called for the continued closure of Chinook salmon fishing in the Klamath River Basin and mainstem Sacramento River, Chinook fishing opportunities will be allowed in three inland Central Valley rivers for the first time in two years.

At its May 14 meeting in Sacramento, the California Fish and Game Commission unanimously adopted sport fishing regulations for the 2025 season, opening limited Chinook salmon fishing on sections of the Mokelumne, Feather and American rivers, within adjusted seasons and a daily bag limit of one fish. The Sacramento River and Klamath River Basin and its tributaries will remain closed to protect those stocks.

and mainstem Sacramento River aim to help salmon populations rebound from these challenges.

The commission also adopted a second 90-day extension of emergency regulations for the recreational take of white sturgeon in inland and ocean waters. The fishery is restricted to catch and release while undergoing review as part of its California Endangered Species Act candidacy.

Commission President Erika Zavaleta, Vice President Samantha Murray and Commissioners Eric Sklar and Darius Anderson participated virtually in the teleconference meeting; Commissioner Jacque Hostler-Carmesin was absent.

“I’m happy to see some Chinook salmon fishing opportunity brought back in Central Valley rivers,” said Jay Rowan, fisheries branch chief. “Increased hatchery production and a few good water years have led to a rebound in some of the key Central Valley salmon tributaries, which is encouraging to see.”

The regulations are expected to take effect on July 1 for the Klamath River Basin and July 15 for the sections of the Mokelumne, Feather and American rivers.

More information about 2025 sport fishing regulations for Chinook salmon can be found in the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s presentation to the commission.

Salmon stocks in California continue to be impacted by ongoing issues associated with multi-year droughts and climate disruption, including poor in-river spawning and migration conditions, ocean forage shifts, thiamine deficiency and other factors that have reduced adult abundance. The closures on the Klamath Basin

The agenda for this meeting, along with supporting information, is available on the commission website. Archived video of past commission meetings is available online. The commission’s June 11 & 12 meeting will be held at the East End Complex Auditorium, 1500 Capitol Ave., Sacramento. Participants are expected to have options to participate via Zoom or by phone; for the agenda and more information visit the commission website.

Ocean salmon fishing

On Friday, May 16, the National Marine Fisheries Service published the annual West Coast salmon fishing regulations for federal waters, including those for California’s limited ocean recreational salmon season.

For ocean waters between the California/Oregon state line and the U.S./Mexico border, the ocean salmon season will be open for two days on June 7-8 with a 7,000 Chinook salmon summer harvest guideline. If the harvest guideline is not met in the first opener, the season will reopen for additional days in July and August until the summer harvest guideline is met. The fishery will then open for four

Chinook salmon fishing will be permitted in some Northern California rivers.

Fishing Continued from 17

days on Sept. 4-7 between Point Reyes and Point Sur under a fall harvest guideline of 7,500 Chinook salmon. Retention of coho salmon (also known as silver salmon) is prohibited in all California ocean salmon fisheries. All salmon must be brought ashore prior to the end of any open season.

Anglers are advised to check for updated information regarding season dates and harvest guidelines on CDFW’s Ocean Salmon Fishery Information web page or by calling the CDFW Ocean Salmon Hotline at (707) 576-3429.

Statewide, the daily bag limit will be two Chinook salmon per day, with a minimum size limit of 20 inches total length. No more than two daily bag limits may be possessed when on land. On a vessel in ocean waters, no person may possess or bring ashore more than one daily bag limit. Once brought ashore, no person may possess more than two daily bag limits. Bag and possession limit information and gear restrictions may be found on the Ocean Salmon Fishery Information web page and in ocean sport fishing regulations.
