Meet our Adminstrator DOUG HAWKINS RN

D

oug Hawkins has been part of our community for generations and is giving back to the community he cares about.

“I feel it is my duty to give back to the people of El Dorado County and help ensure quality healthcare.”

Doug graduated from Ponderosa High School and began his career as a nurse at age 21. “Working with the Elderly is a calling and passion for me. My goal is to help keep Skilled Nursing up here in the foothills and for families to not take their loved ones out of the area for their care,” Doug commented.

Doug takes pride is serving as the Hospital Administrator for Western Slope Health Center here in Placerville. “Our Hospital was awarded the Centers for MediCare 5 STAR rating and we occupy up to 99 people. We average close to 40 admissions and discharges a month with a home return rate of 92%.”

Western Slope Health Center is a Post-Acute Hospital caring for those requiring short term rehabilitative services. We employ talented registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapist, registered dietician, nurse practitioners and our house physician.

“My hobbies, well to know me is to know I enjoy my wife and children on our small ranch in Shingle Springs. It’s summer-time which means the County Fair. This is my favorite time of year! I love raising chickens and goats.” Being an advocate for youth programs, Doug has been active with coaching soccer and little league, and mentoring 4-H kids with livestock raising for the El Dorado County Fair.

Stop by and meet Doug and his staff at Western Slope Health Center!

SIP ON THIS Wine Steals

nine lives. And then there’s my personal favorite—pets named after random foods that the animal might resemble or somehow be associated with (a chocolate lab named Nutella seems fitting, right?).

My family’s animals were a mix of monikers; we had a Wiggles (mini rex rabbit), Forrest and Jenny (desert tortoises), Moe (German shepherd-lab mix) and Yawnie (Siberian cat), and—though my choices didn’t always win in the name game (my older siblings usually won that battle)—each one brought an abundance of joy and laughter to our lives, just as your own creatures clearly do for you.

From the moment we put the call out asking for “People & Their Pets” submissions, the photos came pouring in. And while some of the names made me laugh a little (namely the bearded dragon named Booger), it was the tales behind the tails that really had me feeling all fuzzy. It’s clear that our community is one pet-obsessed place. Not only are there heaps of parks and trails that welcome fur friends with open paws, but a plethora of Fido-friendly patios as well. Flip to page 27 to see a list of our favorites and to peruse the pictorial of our region’s hottest dogs and cutest cats.

For those who aren’t pet people, fret not!

We have plenty of other fun stuff in store.

In The Hit List (page 42), we celebrate the region’s best BBQ with our roundup of the tastiest joints in town to get your meat on; and—when it’s time to detox after all that finger-lickin’ good fare—we have a “Juice Bar Roundup” (page 18) with what to order at each place. Don’t miss Kerrie L. Kelly’s tips to add a feminine flair to your space in Home Design (page 24) and Tara Mendanha’s rundown of “Prime Patios” in The 10 Spot (page 9).

With each issue, it’s always my goal to make you “love where you live”—and discover a new local place to dine or shop—and I hope this month’s magazine is no different. If you find yourself soaking up the sun on one of our suggested patios or grabbing dinner at one of the featured restaurants in Eat & Drink, be sure to name-drop and say you read about them in Style. Cheers!

What’s in a name? When it comes to picking one for your pet, there’s a lot on the line.WikiHow even has a seven-step process to help owners decide (with amusing illustrations to boot). The option of going with a human name—like Lucy, Lola or Lloyd—remains increasingly popular, but can get awkward if your dog’s name is Kevin and you start dating an actual guy named Kevin. There’s the cliché, cutesy names like Spot, Spike, Fluffy “Be the person or Fido, which work your dog thinks well—until your you are.” cat named “Lucky” —J.W. Stephens doesn’t make it to

Q&A WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO YOUR YOUNGER SELF?

Be more patient and empathetic, listen more closely, and take time to make decisions.

WHAT COMES TO YOU NATURALLY?

Wine snobbery—or any snobbery for that matter. I believe that wine should be consumed for pleasure and not for economic positioning; it is to be shared and celebrated.

FAVORITE HUMANITARIAN CAUSE?

Education and giving back to the community—whether it’s giving to the needy or helping animal shelters..

BEST WORDS OF WISDOM YOU’VE RECEIVED?

Words my father used to say: “Never act out of fear; only act out of knowledge.”

Chaim Gur-Arieh, PhD Chaim Gur-Arieh may be the owner of C.G. Di Arie Vineyard in Plymouth (cgdiarie.com), but he didn’t take the most conventional route to becoming a winemaker. His family moved from Turkey to Israel when he was 12 years old, and he originally thought he would pursue a career in the Israeli army. One day, however, a tank near him was hit, and the explosion permanently damaged his hearing. This near-death experience made him rethink his career.

Although originally a high school dropout, he went back to the drawing board (or, more aptly put, the chalkboard)—graduating from a

university in Israel with a bachelor of science in chemical engineering, and then traveling to the U.S. to receive his PhD in food science.

He later became a respected food science engineer and inventor, helping to develop Cap’n Crunch and many other food products.

He and his wife, Elisheva, eventually founded their own flavor company, which they sold in 1998 in order to fulfill a shared dream of owning a winery.

Gur-Arieh and his wife also give back by regularly donating proceeds of wine sales to Capital Stage and the local NPR station.

In addition, they recently created a red

blend called Mixed Breed, the proceeds of which support local animal shelters. At the winery, they offer free classes one Saturday a month as a way to educate people on all the varied, high-quality vintages that can be produced in the Sierra foothills. For Gur-Arieh, now in his 80s, it’s all a labor of love. “I make wine that gives me pleasure, and hopefully it will give pleasure to others,” he shares.

PRIME PATIOS

Summer is the perfect time to dine al fresco. Eat and drink beneath the warmth of the sun, the shade of trees, or the glow of stars at any of these local restaurant patios.

The 10 Spot

by TARA MENDANHA

1

Renwood Winery has a serene patio (with a separate one for “member’s only”) that’s also dog-friendly and offers comfortable seating, lush landscaping and good times. Delight in the antipasto plate that’s designed to complement their popular wines. renwood.com

5

Quaint and romantic, Smith Flat House used to be an old mine. Now you can sit out on the shaded patio, listening to live music as you make your way through their grilled tenderloin medallion salad. smithflathouse.com

6

Taste of Europe never fails to please and when the weather’s right, it’s time to indulge in some schnitzel and spaetzle out on the patio, basking in the warm sun and friendly service. facebook.com/tasteofeuropeca

7

The Independent Restaurant and Bar has a private garden patio that goes well with its modern setting in the foothills, and their decadent truffle mac and cheese will have your taste buds singing under the summer sky. independentplacerville.com

2

Grab a seat under a big red umbrella at Sweetie Pie’s and dig into their olallieberry pancakes or green chile omelette. This cute little bakery is always a favorite summer stop. sweetiepies.biz

3

New Haven Pub and Grill’s patio is idyllic in setting, and the mountain air will instantly cool you off. Rustic and dogfriendly, this is the place to go for a take-and-bake pizza. facebook. com/newhavenpub

4

Ample seating under a shady tree is available at Main Street Melters, with views of bustling Downtown Placerville to boot. The Standard (under the “Massive Melters” portion of the menu) is sure to melt your woes away with its black forest ham, turkey, Vermont cheddar and hot pepper spread. mainstreetmelters. com

8

Placerville Brewing Company is a prime spot to be for a relaxing, good time. Their vanilla stout and strong blonde are winners and can cool the hottest of days. placervillebrewingco. com

9

Relish Burger Bar claims the view from their patio is the best—and they might be right. The hills are a sight to behold and the perfect accompaniment to The Hills Bacon Cheeseburger. relishburgerbar.com

10

One reason to visit 36 Handles Pub and Eatery is for their—you guessed it—36 beers from across the U.S. and Europe. Another reason? Their great patio that makes for a perfect place to soak up the sun. 36handles.com

ASK THE Expert

What’s the biggest difference between an undergraduate education and law school?

The biggest difference is the objective of the studies.

In college, I majored in English, Italian and political science. Though I graduated with substantial knowledge in each of these fields, the biggest lesson I learned was how to learn. The art of study requires great skill in listening, retaining knowledge, note taking, test taking and writing, to name a few. I believe anyone can master these skills with practice and discipline. Law school, however, is a deeply transformative experience. A law school education is

fashioned to teach students to think like lawyers. Lawyers see the world in a different light and must be able to spot issues, analyze and argue. Learning and honing these skills is difficult, and there is no road map. I think any education that trains you to exercise a new intellect is going to be challenging, and law school does just that.

Creepy Uncles Sultans of String

by HEATHER L. BECKER

Craig Pooley, Mike Mayfield and Steve Weaver

HLB: AS MUSICIANS, WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT THE FOOTHILLS? CU: All three of us have lived in this community for a very long time; two of us even graduated from local high schools.

There’s a great, interconnected network of musicians in this community and there’s almost always something musically happening. You run into some familiar musicians and meet new ones all the time.

It’s like a big old family of talented cousins.

HLB: WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT PERFORMING? CU: It’s so invigorating to perform live. We feed off our combined energy and tend to throw it out to our audience. Nothing energizes our shows more than seeing folks having fun and grooving along.

HLB: DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE VENUES TO PERFORM AT? CU: We love the vibe at H.Art Lounge and Danette’s Brick Oven Pub. We would love to play at the Cozmic Café or the Shingle Springs Community Center’s "Second Saturday Concert Series."

With a dynamic rhythm and diverse style, this acoustic trio—comprised of Steve Weaver on guitar, Craig Pooley on mandolin, and Mike Mayfield on bass—loves sharing their joy of creating music together live in front of fans. Each bandmate contributes to the group’s compelling vocals and indie/newgrass/pop sound, which is influenced by bands like The Decemberists, The Wood Brothers, Dispatch and The Devil Makes Three. Don’t miss their upcoming performances at Georgetown Park on July 22 (a benefit concert for KFOK Radio), Red Poets Winery on September 8, and Danette’s Brick Oven Pub on October 6 and November 24.

HLB: WHAT’S THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME CREEPY UNCLES? CU: We’d been looking for a unique band name, a name that when you walked by a crowded bulletin board it would pop out. During a rehearsal, our bass player said something jokingly and someone else said, “That sounds like you’re someone’s creepy uncle.” We July 8 – Music in the Pines. laughed about it all night, so the name From 5-9:30 p.m. at the Sierra just stuck.

Pines, enjoy music by 120 West, a BBQ dinner and raffle.

Funds raised support the Sierra Springs Regional Fire Safe Council. 530-647-0260

HLB: WHEN DID YOU START PERFORMING AS A BAND? CU: We initially put the Creepy Uncles together for a monumental birthday for our bass player [and ended up] playing multiple private party gigs that summer. Once we started playing music together, we knew we had something to share. We made our official public debut in February 2017.

HLB: WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE AMBITIONS? CU: We’re blessed to have three members who all have a great imagination and share a common interest in all things music. We’re continually adding to our musical catalog.

We’re also experimenting with shifting around instruments and adding some rhythm—maybe cajon, washboard or electronic—to mix things up a bit and keep it interesting. We have no delusions of grandeur—we love our foothill community and playing for our fans. We love meeting new friends and sharing our music. We plan to just keep on having fun doing what we do. facebook.com/creepyunclesband photo by DANTE FONTANA

Sierra Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Called to Care

by JANET SCHERR

E

very day we read about it in the news, see it on TV and thank our lucky stars for the courageous law enforcement officers who respond to tragic accidents, homicides and violent crimes. But the efforts by the

people you don’t see are just as remarkable.

For every crisis, there’s also first responders to the emotional and spiritual trauma that’s sure to follow.

calamity. Often, the officers do not have the time or the option to serve a death notification or to comfort a grieving individual.

The chaplains are available for call-out based on the needs of the community, but many of the calls they respond to are high-profile events in the local media and they do their best to work behind the scenes.

Founded in 1990 by Rev. Tim Thompson, the organization currently has 34 volunteer reserve ch ap l a i n t e a m m e m b e r s. Th e chaplains “earn their stripes” through a process of interviews, background checks, class work and field training.

Steve Wright, senior chaplain of Sierra Law Enforcement Chaplaincy, is quick to explain that candidates must exhibit certain characteristics of heart and dignity. “A chaplain p e r f o r m s d u t i e s t h a t re q u i re tremendous emotional strength and patience,” says Wright. “We walk families through the tragic loss of a loved one, help pick up the pieces of lives shattered because of mental illness, and comfort those impacted by the loss of life at the hands of another. We also handle issues— both personal and work related—that the law enforcement officers and agency support staff are dealing with themselves.”

Even with this range of services provided, Wright recognizes that there are preconceptions of what a chaplain does. “People often think we’re there to read the Bible and pray, but that is not our main purpose,” he says. “While scripture and prayer may help some individuals, our function is to help a person grieve in their own way, in their own time.

“Furthermore, we’re not just there for people who are religious,” Wright continues. “We serve everyone—regardless of their religious affiliations or lack thereof. Our primary role is to provide compassion, help people feel safe when their world has been turned upside down, provide accurate information, give practical assistance, and to help them take a step toward hope and healing.”

This September, the group is planning its second annual golf tournament; in addition to players and sponsors, they’re looking for volunteers to help. They’re also currently seeking candidates to work in El Dorado County and Folsom, with a Basic Chaplain Academy planned for this fall. sierrachaplaincy.com photos by AARON ROSELI

Courthouse Blues

Placerville’s County Seat Controversy Continues Part of Placerville’s responsibility of becoming the El Dorado County seat in 1857 was to provide a courthouse and jail. To fulfill the immediate need for a building, county supervisors rented and converted a two-story stone structure behind the Mountain Democrat into a courthouse (roughly at the same location where the sacbee.com/news/local/ courthouse stands today). article81711792.html In June of 1861, the building courts.ca.gov/facilities-eldorado. was purchased from owners Mr. Boenzly and Mr. htm#tab3472 Brelaz for $7,000. This building not only served as the bizjournals.com/sacramento/ news/2014/09/23/el-doradocourthouse, but also hosted the first service preached county-looking-at-future-ofby the Episcopal Minister Caleb Pierce in March of 1861. courthouse.html This site continued to house the county courthouse History of El Dorado County California by Paolo Sioli (pages until 1910 when it was destroyed by a fire.

Street that could accommodate a courthouse, jail, hall of records and a public park.

The county decided to rebuild at the original site, and a three-story stone building with 18,560 square feet of space was built in 1912. Over the years, the two buildings immediately west of the courthouse on Main Street have also served the county as a jail, police department and court of justice. The Confidence Hall at 487 Main Street was used as the city hall from 1902 until 2005.

It was suggested in an editorial in 1910 that lava rock quarried from Smith’s Flat and Diamond Springs be used to make

the structure fireproof and provide beauty and grace to the building. In 1913, a grand jury was charged with determining the feasibility of using sandstone as a permanent and satisfactory façade for the new courthouse; they decided that the sandstone was unsatisfactory and recommended the use of glazed terra cotta instead.

Controversies attending the courthouse and whether it could continue to accommodate the needs of the county have persisted through the decades. In 1965, it was noted that the building was seismically unstable, and a grand jury recommended replacing it.

This option was unpopular with residents of the county, and instead a renovation of the courthouse was undertaken during which dark wood paneling was installed and florescent lights were added to replace the outdated chandeliers.

More recently, there has been a statewide effort to replace historic courthouses with larger, more modern facilities, often on the outskirts of town. With only four courtrooms serving criminal, family law, juvenile delinquency and dependency, and domestic violence cases, the El Dorado County Courthouse is running beyond capacity; meeting rooms and holding areas are limited or non-existent, and security issues abound. The proposed site for a new El Dorado County Courthouse is on a wooded lot behind the El Dorado County Jail on Forni Road, just south of Highway 50 and west of Main Street.

Discussions on future uses for the courthouse building on Main Street are ongoing. Whatever the use, residents and merchants are mostly united in wishing to retain the building; however, it will require substantial renovation to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other requirements for public buildings.

Blushing Beauty 5 Tips to Creating a Feminine Flat

by KERRIE L. KELLY, ASID

W

hoever said feminine had to be light and bright should have considered bold, black and lots of movement! Our clients in Roseville had a new home on their hands, so to add a design kick, we sprinkled in

contrasting colors, metallic sheens and abstract art. The result? A fresh, feminine space that everyone can enjoy.

Here are five simple ways you can get the look.

1

While we wanted to work with blush and gold as primary colors for this space, we knew we had to balance the cool, feminine tones with a bold hue for contrast. In the dining room, we splashed black paint on the walls to create a room that feels cozy and curated, then offset the darker color with hues of blush, ivory and gold. To do this in your own space, consider balancing darker, heavier furniture with light and bright accessories or art.

2 24

BE BOLD

EMBRACE TEXTURE Knowing that the home sits in a sunny spot, we opted to capitalize on the photos by BRIAN KELLOGG

styleedc.com // JULY 2017 //

/styleedc /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemagedcf

natural light and fluidity of the floor plan with a balance of textures. In the living space, we set the scene with a blush and ivory rug underfoot, and added different metals, glass, natural fiber and wood. By mixing textures, we created an inviting scene that isn't too feminine or too dark. Spaces like the living room and bedroom are perfect areas to embrace texture; select a foundational piece (like a rug or large piece of furniture) and build around it, using natural textures like jute or wood with metallic hues like lacquered pots and vases, gilded furniture legs and flowy fabrics.

3

LESS IS MORE

With a space featuring inky colors, soft textures and plenty of shine, it’s easy to get carried away with glamorous accessories and bold art. To let the home speak for itself, we chose to scale back on accessorizing and focus on the larger, more impactful furnishings like desks, bookshelves, rugs and tables. To accomplish this same approach in your home, find a room that feels a bit overdone and begin to edit—take a few books down from the shelf, pull elements that are too “out there,” and let the bold colors, abstract art and textures be the star of the show.

4

CONTRAST IS IN

We often refer to the striking juxtaposition of a bold color palette mixed with softer tones and materials, and it’s never been truer than in this home. Our clients wanted something fresh yet daring, and we wanted to make sure that, while adventurous, the décor was still anchored in timelessness. To do that, we selected high-contrast materials like gold, brushed bronze, glass and Lucite; though still neutral, they add an element of high shine to each room and allow the homeowners to play with the color combinations and style of each room without taking away from the original design.

5

MIX OLD AND NEW

While the color palette may be contemporary, the art and accessories anchoring this fresh, feminine home are a solid mix of traditional tastes and modern elements. In the study, for example, we floated a large desk with golden brackets and hardware, and a bookshelf to match directly behind it. By combining old books with shiny accessories, it adds the perfect mix of warmth and edge. Additionally, we kept the focus modern while mixing in worn elements like old typewriters, a metallic ampersand, and beautifully sketched artwork for a more authentic feel true to a classic study.

Are you ready to get fresh and feminine? Incorporate these five simple steps in your next home project to make the look all your own!

Betty likes to eat just about everything and loves all fruits and vegetables; as you can tell, she’s a little pudgy but is a pot-bellied pig. Sharkey is a polydactyl, so he has many extra toes—more like a hand than a paw. Along with the rest of our family—eight cats, four dogs and eight parrots—they’re rescues.—Fred and Cynthia Otto

AKSEL AND MOLLY » Aksel and Molly are rescues (Molly was adopted as a puppy from El Dorado County Animal Services and Aksel was adopted from Second Chance German Shepherd Rescue almost two years ago). Both love spending time with us on our sailboat at Folsom Lake, camping trips, time at the beach, and running and playing together at “full speed.” Molly (a WeimaranerLabrador mix) will only get her feet wet at the lake—no swimming for her; Aksel (a German shepherd-Malinois mix), on the other hand, loves nothing more than swimming for his tennis ball and never wants to leave the water—a big change for a dog who was afraid of the water when we first adopted him.—Barb and Jeff Lee

DINE REVIEW

Thai Noodle Express

A Slurping Success

by SHARON PENNY

Gyoza Tonkatsu Shoyu Ramen

Massaman Curry

“This place is giving me San Francisco flashbacks,” my husband uttered after sitting down at Thai Noodle Express. Indeed, it did feel like the “hole in the wall” vendors that fed us through our college days in the City by the Bay; the only difference is Downtown Placerville’s noodle house is shiny, clean and really friendly.

The kitchen may be bigger than the dining room and the dining room, shall we say, “cozy,” but slurping ramen shoulder to shoulder is a great way to get to know your neighbors.

We started with an order of golden-brown gyoza. The crispy fried dumplings—filled with ground chicken and accompanied by a house-made dipping sauce—were like a smaller Japanese cousin to the pot sticker, and delicious at that!

Ramen is the specialty of the house, so for my entrée I ordered the tonkatsu shoyu variety.

The pork broth flavored with soy sauce was rich, velvety and complex. Laden with slices of chashu (tender braised pork belly), menma (seasoned bamboo shoots), black mushrooms, fresh bean sprouts, pickled red ginger, scallions, lashings of ramen noodles, and topped with a tasty marinated hard-boiled egg, it was a hearty bowl of flavors and textures…a dish that’s sure to satisfy both ramen rookies and longtime fans.

My husband’s massaman curry was equally impressive. Sweet and flavorful, it was loaded with potatoes, carrots, peanuts and tender chicken in a fragrant coconut milk broth.

For those looking to ease into the world of Thai curries or for diners seeking more flavor than heat, this would be a perfect choice.

In addition to offering an array of ramen, the eatery serves pho, teriyaki chicken and other Thai favorites. It’s cheap, the service is fast, and the food is excellent, so there are absolutely no regrets. What more can you ask for?

Laden with slices of chashu (tender braised pork belly), menma (seasoned bamboo shoots), black mushrooms, fresh bean sprouts, pickled red ginger, scallions, lashings of ramen noodles, and topped with a tasty marinated hard-boiled egg, it was a hearty bowl of flavors and textures.

Hangman’s Tree Ice Cream Saloon

brings you back in time to Placerville’s special place in history, where the Wild West was won and everyone’s eyes were feverish with the quest for gold. In modern times, that prized nugget would be ice cream and this place serves up plenty of it. Swinging through the front door (there’s no actual double saloon doors but it’s fun to pretend), you’ll see that the building has been lovingly restored—from the original 1880s wood floors and the Old Hangtown mural from 1945, to the vintage table and chairs that were once used in Sam’s Town before it shuttered. Whether you’re a simple cup or cone connoisseur, a sundae savant, or milkshake and float fanatic, there’s something for everyone. Sharing with a friend, I opted for the classic Banana Split. You can mix it up with any flavor ice cream or topping of your choice, but being traditionalists, we went with chocolate alongside hot fudge, strawberry with sauce to match, and vanilla with juicy pineapple. Whipped cream, a cherry and just-ripe-enough bananas finished off the sweet treat. As we sat at the window seat—happily spooning mouthfuls of decadent ice cream and watching the world go by—I reckoned it was a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Hangman’s Tree Ice Cream Saloon, 305 Main Street, Placerville, hangmanstree.com.

THE HIT LIST

6 Favorite BBQ Joints compiled by STYLE STAFFERS // photos by DANTE FONTANA

Whether it’s the sauce, the smoke or the sides, everyone (OK, everyone except your vegan friend) can appreciate a palatable plate of BBQ. But where should you venture for the best brisket and tangiest pulled pork in town? In no particular order…

“The BBQ beef ribs at Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que in Rocklin are big, meaty, gnaw-it-off-the-bone caveman-style ribs—in other words, mouthwatering. Each order comes with homemade biscuits and two sides; try the honey peanut coleslaw and creamy cheese grits, and thank me later.” lucillesbbq.com

“The secret is in the sauce at El Dorado Saloon and Grill. The recently revamped restaurant makes a memorable Santa Maria-style BBQ tri-tip (served with house-made chimichurri sauce) and offers a Saturday night baby back ribs special that’ll leave your inner carnivore utterly content.” eldoradosaloonandgrill.com

styleedc.com // JULY 2017 //

“Back Forty Texas BBQ serves up a tantalizing variety of meats that most typical BBQ joints don't carry, including Cajun catfish, yet my favorite is the slowsmoked, lean brisket—a healthy-sized heap of tender, flavorful beef that I dip into their homemade hot BBQ sauce for a little kick. Their meals come with cornbread and honey butter, plus your choice of traditional fixin’s, but you must save room for the banana pudding.” backfortyshinglesprings.com

“Sierra Smokehouse BBQ in Cameron Park has a menu full of perfectly tender—not overly greasy— smoked meats, and their Sierra Gold mustard-based barbecue sauce is just one of the many ‘California twists’ on traditional fare. The mashed potatoes with gravy and creamy coleslaw are worth saving room for, too.” sierrasmokehousebbq.com

“Hog Wild Bar-B-Que in Placerville has bomb brisket and a great choice of simple but tasty sides. Co-owner Aaron is Texan born, so he brings a taste of his home state—think smoked meats and scratch-made sides and yeast rolls—into every plate, with a side of Southern hospitality to boot. Plus, the restaurant has a great, relaxed vibe and plenty of outdoor seating.” hogwildbar-b-que.com

“Boucanes Smokehouse in El Dorado Hills is the real deal Southern BBQ. My favorite is their just-saucyenough pulled pork sandwich, candied yams and collard greens. I always end my meal with one of their homemade desserts, too—pecan pie for the win!” boucanes.com

REVISION BREWING COMPANY’S NARLA BROWN ALE Revision is a new brewery located in Sparks, Nevada.

Jeremy Warren, who founded Auburn’s beloved Knee Deep Brewing Company, is the brewmaster/CEO and one of the founders.

Though specializing in hoppy IPAs and pale ales, their new brown ale—part of the Skunkwerks Experimental Series—is equally buzzworthy and perfect alongside slightly spicy dishes like this month’s Southwest Chilaquiles. The brew’s moderate hoppy flavor balances out the spice from the peppers and chiles, while the coffee undertones and notes of chocolate, caramel and citrus zest make it a perfect libation for breakfast.

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

I was born a “city girl” and grew up in the Bay Area, but my life changed when I married and moved to El Dorado County with my husband in 1985. Living here exposed me to the outdoors, and I fell in love with it. My husband worked in the outdoor industry for over 30 years, and my daughters and I had the privilege of hunting, fishing and participating in countless other outdoorrelated activities; yet many of these activities were male-dominated and women were often viewed as tomboys. The idea of creating the business came to me in 2009. There was a huge need for a women’s apparel line that allowed females to look and feel great while enjoying their outdoor passions. Two years later, I launched Camo Queen, "the elegant outdoor woman." Regardless of whether your outdoor interest is hunting, fishing, camping, horseback riding, four-wheeling, wine tasting, or just a drive through the country, the goal of Camo Queen’s apparel is to make you enjoy your passions with a true feeling of pride and elegance.

My business is interior design with a specialty in the fabric side of the design world. I design, manufacture and install custom window treatments, bedding, cushions and pillows. My services include anything from room arrangement and wall color, to moldings and accessories. The business came to me when my friends pointed out my natural design talent.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

Marrying my husband and having the privilege of raising our two beautiful daughters, Brooke and Brittany.

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

Prayer.

What’s your hidden talent?

Music—playing the piano and/or the keyboard.

Where do you and your family go locally to have fun?

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

I tend to help anyone who asks me a design question. It’s like they can tell I’m a designer—even when they don’t see me in my “Right At Home Interiors” van.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

I do not have any employees, but my installer (an independent contractor) and I work hand in hand installing new window treatments.

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

My husband, Steve, is always there with the best and most professional advice. The answer is always in the statement: How would you want to be treated?

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

Snooks Chocolate Factory is a gem in our community. I like to get the espresso chip ice cream in a homemade waffle cone (if eating there) and dark chocolate almond bark to take home.

Boating at Folsom Lake.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

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

In 1988, I rode my bicycle from Seattle to Atlantic City in six weeks and raised $8,000 for the American Lung Association.

Marketing. I love connecting with people.

And finally, customer service is…?

Providing professional service that fits my clients' needs and adds beauty to their homes.

Paws-itive Parenting 6 Types of Pet Owners

by JULIE RYAN

clothes for your dog than I have for myself. You tell yourself your dog loves wearing an ugly Christmas sweater. They’re fine with it!

That’s a smile on her sweet, furry face—not a grimace. She’s not embarrassed, she’s just shy. I have a friend who bought her dog goggles, so he wouldn’t get sand in his eyes while they were at the beach. Very thoughtful. I will admit, however, that I’ve dressed my cat, Agnes, up in a costume at one time or another.

3

The category above goes hand in hand with the carrytheir-pet-in-a-purse owner. No explanation needed, and no, I have not done this, but have you seen that commercial for the sweater that has a pouch on the front so you can carry your cat around like you’re a mama kangaroo? I’m a little tempted.

4

How about the I-have-more-pictures-of-my-petthan-I-have-of-my-family owner? I’m guilty of taking pictures of my cat. She’s adorable. Why wouldn’t I? Some friends of mine took that to another level. They took their dogs, all shih tzus, to a portrait studio in the mall and had group photos taken. I witnessed the whole thing and even have a photo to prove it. There’s nothing wrong with sharing your pet with the social media world—just don’t go crazy.

5

The exotic pet owner likes to be a little different. Sure, puppies are cute, but these people love their pythons. Try putting a sweater on him, though. I suppose it would be more like a tube top.

We all love our pets, whether they’re dogs, cats, hamsters or ducks, but not everyone shows their love in the same way.

If you have a pet now or have had one in the past, you may relate to at least one of these types of pet owners. Or, like me, you could be a mix of several.

Perhaps you’re the casual owner— one who has a dog or a cat but doesn’t do much else besides feed them and take them for their annual vet appointment. If so, your love is low-key. You don’t expect much from your pet. You’re roommates.

Just so long as they don’t eat your yogurt without asking, everything is cool.

Follow Julie on Instagram or Twitter You throw the occasional ball, buy the @julieryanhilton. occasional toy and let them sleep in your bed, but don’t believe in going overboard.

There’s the dress-them-up-likepeople owner. Sweaters, boots, rain jackets, costumes. You have more

6

Lastly, there’s the fur baby owners. These are the people who think their pet is a human. Maybe they don’t have human children. Maybe their children are grown and live elsewhere. The fur babies have filled that void.

If you love your pet and are kind and caring, I say go ahead and put a sparkly tutu on her and take pictures while carrying her around in your purse. I won’t judge!
