MEET OUR DIRECTOR OF PATIENT ADMISSIONS Doug Hawkins RN (Administrator) and Carole Mann LVN (Medicare Specialist)

We Make Home Visits Our Goal is Continuity of Care We ensure that when residents are discharged home their care continues to match the care received at Western Slope. Upon discharge Doug and Carole will come visit in about one week.

“I enjoy following the patient from the hospital environment and into their homes. It’s rewarding to see their positive health transformations and successes,” states Carole. MediCare pays for a variety of health care needs but is limited to the amount of home care people receive. This can be an issue for many. “We visit the home to offer help and solutions. We charge nothing. It’s a free service”, Doug added. Former resident, CeCe Wind said, “It was a wonderful experience when I stayed at Western Slope, and the care and compassion continues now that I am at home. I love that Doug checks on me.” Marshall Hospital has partnered with Western Slope to ensure Quality Health Care. “We ensure when patients are released from Marshall to Western Slope that we continue to follow the Plans of Care put into place and continue those plans when they return home,” Carole Mann continues, “Being able to wonderfully enrich and serve our community is what it’s all about.”

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

Jennifer Eells, our Director of Patient Admissions, has raised her kids here and feels blessed to be living in El Dorado C o u n t y. O u r county is a gem in that our residents are involved, rural minded, outdoorsy and proud of our rich history. She wants you to let your family know you would like to stay in a facility near your home town.

Hospitals in Sacramento often discharge patients to nursing facilities near them instead of back to El Dorado County.

The availability of inpatient rehabilitation care in our county is very limited and we are deeply committed to caring for our El Dorado County family. Let us help you reach your highest level of independence so you can return home quickly!

Why a Marshall doctor is right for you

Solving the diabetes puzzle

Marshall Birth Center: A Sierra sanctuary

According to a Harris Poll, pizza is America’s favorite comfort food (take that, mac & cheese).

Not that this news should surprise us; after all, isn’t pizza most people’s go-to grub for just about every occasion—be it game day, a sleepover, end-of-year sports party, evening of imbibing, or simply an “I don’t feel like cooking” night? I know my relationship with pizza has always been pretty passionate. From the elementary school days of cheese “rectangles” (where I always asked, ahem begged, the lunch ladies for an extra piece), to my experience living in “You better cut Iceland when I did as the the pizza in four Icelanders do and dipped pieces because my cream cheese-covered I’m not hungry creation into jam (the sweet-savory combo was enough to eat six.” actually quite scrumptious) —Yogi Berra and that one time in Alaska I ate pizza with reindeer sausage (when in Alaska…right?)—the truth is, any way you slice, or top it, pizza is a perennial pleaser.

Whether you prefer yours with a wood-fired, slightly crispy crust and believe quality over quantity when it comes to toppings; dig deep dish with gooey, melty cheese, and oodles of olives and pepperoni; or have your eye on the pie that’s foldable and thin-crusted, there’s a neighborhood pizzeria that likely (and literally) delivers.

In this month’s feature, “The Slice is Right” (page 41), we present you with 20 of the region’s most praiseworthy pies—everything from the classic to the obscure, and the “healthy” to the hefty—along with deals, discounts and other “in the know” tips for each place. I suggest making it your mission to try all 20, and then reporting back with your favorites. Local food blogger Bella Karragiannidis (@ful.filled) also shares her recipe to make an almost-too-pretty-to-eat offering with pea pesto, ricotta, shaved asparagus and basil that you’ll love to pizzas.

Though a slice a day may keep the sad away, don’t forget that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Luckily, most of Apple Hill’s bakeshops and farms open Labor Day weekend and—from my personal experience—September is the prime time to visit (before the crowds become unbearable and the weather is still golden and delicious). For a taste of our favorite things to see, do and eat, flip to page 10.

Finally, if you need a vacation from your vacation this summer, I suggest checking out Health & Wellness to read about Nor Cal wellness retreats (page 20). From a silent stay in Vacaville, to healing hot springs, and safari tents perched on the Pacific, a visit to one (or all) of our suggestions is sure to recharge your batteries.

As Anna Quindlen said, “Ideas are like pizza dough, made to be tossed around,” so when Tom ofTom’sTake (page 58) announced that this month would be his final column, we sobbed, then put our heads together to brainstorm what’s next.

Stay tuned to see what we decided (hint…it involves your participation).

Enjoy the issue, and happy fall!

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

Travel every chance you get and keep a travel journal.

WHAT COMES TO YOU NATURALLY?

Writing and listening.

WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST PET PEEVE?

Arrogance.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?

My son. At his wedding, about 20 people lined up to say how much he had done for them and how special he and his wife are to them.

I was in tears. I’m also proud that people know they can tell me anything and it will be kept confidential.

FAVORITE HUMANITARIAN CAUSE?

Locally, supporting the Nomadic Shelter, which houses the homeless at various churches during the winter. Globally, Direct Relief, because they have a 100-percent rating from Charity Navigator for the global disaster work they do.

Robin Stanley obin Stanley has been a University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Master Gardener for 3 5 years . Though

her duties have varied throughout the years, she’s currently their grant writer, does publicity for the Sherwood Demonstration Garden, is an ombudswoman (where she promotes positive communication among members, leadership and staff) and manages the Plant a Row for the Hungry program (a national service project that encourages gardeners to grow a little extra and donate it to local food agencies).

Stanley also coordinates a Christmas giving program for children at her church, volunteers with her husband at the Nomadic Shelter, is a member of

Women’s Fund El Dorado, and a board member of the Camino Community Action Committee. “Being involved—in ways big or small—fills me up. I like having a purpose and feeling like people know I’m there for them,” she says.

Years ago, as a new mom, Stanley was looking to learn and meet new people, and as an avid gardener, joined UCCE Master Gardeners of El Dorado County.

To earn the title of “Master Gardner,” she trained for 40 hours over 10 weeks and volunteered 50 hours during the first year. The requirements are even more now, but the commitment has always been substantial. “Sharing efforts with like-minded people means you’re surrounded by others who have positive energy for shared interests.”

YOUR GUIDE TO APPLE HILL Journey to Apple Hill this fall for a memorable trip full of experiences the whole family will apple-solutely love. In no particular order…

by TARA MENDANHA

You can’t visit Apple Hill and not pick your own fruit—that’s part of the charm. Pick apples and berries from 24 Carrot Farm and Harris Tree Farm, chestnuts from Smokey Ridge Farmstand and Winery, lavender from Bluestone Meadow, blueberries from Bolster’s Hilltop Ranch, Indian corn from Goyette’s North Canyon Ranch and concord grapes from Argyres Orchard.

1

2

If you can pick apples, you can catch fish, too. Troll for trout at High Hill Ranch or try your hand at fly-fishing at Indian Rock Ranch.

Celebrate Johnny Appleseed’s birthday on September 24 at 24 Carrot Farm, Apple Pantry Farm, Apple Ridge Farms, Delfino Farms, Denver Dan’s, Harris Tree Farm, Lava Cap Winery, Mill View Ranch, Sloan Winters Mountain Orchard and Garden, Wofford Acres Vineyards and more. Some of the festivities include bobbing for apples, pie-eating contests, hard cider tasting, wine and apple pairings and more.

3

4

Get to know more about the growers and how they worked the land, and view antique farming implements original to Camino at Larsen Apple Barn’s Apple Hill Museum.

Ride into the sunset on a tractor at Sloan Winters Mountain Orchard and Garden; take a hayride tour at High Hill Ranch; or ride a pony at Denver Dan’s, Abel’s Apple Acres or High Hill Ranch. Bluestone Meadow also offers tractor train rides.

5

Brace yourself for some hay-maze-ing fun at these mazes.

Apple Ridge Farms has a hay maze you can get lost in, Abel’s Amazing Maze is at Abel’s Apple Acres, while Delfino Farms has two corn mazes.

6

Craving some apple pie? Try Apple Pantry Farm’s or Rainbow Orchards’ classic apple pie, Bodhaine Ranch’s rhubarb apple pie, Fudge Factory Farm’s caramel apple and blackberry hand pies, High Hill Ranch’s caramel apple crunch pie, Larsen Apple Barn’s sour cream berry apple pie, or Denver Dan’s take-and-bake apple pies.

7

Once you’re done chowing down apple pie by the plateful, go on a tasting tour around town. Sample jam and vinegar at Denver Dan’s, different varieties of apples at Smokey Ridge Farmstand and Winery, and apple donuts aplenty at Boa Vista Orchards.

8

For an adorable activity for the little ones, stop by a petting zoo and get acquainted with the farm animals at Apple Ridge Farms or Denver Dan’s.

9

Top it all off with a merry picnic at Apple Pantry Farm, Bluestone Meadow, Bodhaine Ranch, Boeger Winery, Fenton Herriott Vineyards, Goldbud Farms, Larsen Apple Barn, Lava Cap Winery, Madroña Vineyards, Mill View Ranch, Windmiller Farm, or Wofford Acres Vineyards.

Jann Noddin

Impassioned Impressionist

by HEATHER L. BECKER

[and] actively engage them. They captured moments of ordinary people in natural settings, like working in the fields (Van Gogh), dancing (Degas), enjoying a picnic (Monet) or bathing a child (Cassatt); and rejected the linear perspective in their approach to space, [thus creating] a more personal, emotional space. All of this has influenced my approach to art.

HLB: WHAT DEFINES SUCCESS TO YOU, IN TERMS OF YOUR WORK? JN: When I began painting full-time, I allowed myself to paint poorly. My only goal was that I completed an image, for better or worse. I struggled at first, and chose simple images to work from. I found I enjoyed painting pet portraits, and was pleasantly surprised that they turned out pretty good.

After, I expanded into plein air— painting landscapes quickly and loosely—[but that] was difficult, so I returned to photographing nature and to the studio. I feel I’ve been successful when the piece I’m working on has the energy and emotion I’m trying to convey.

Bay Area native Jann Noddin received her first art kit when she was seven years old, and has been painting ever since. After high school, she earned a bachelor’s degree in art with an emphasis in printmaking at San Francisco State University and worked as a professional photographer and printmaker for a number of years before obtaining her master’s in clinical psychology—eventually becoming a licensed marriage and family therapist. She then went to law school and practiced for over 20 years, only to return to her first love of painting. Noddin now uses her unique skill set to produce lively pet portraits, landscapes and local scenes with saturated color and simplified shapes, which she proudly showcases at the Gold Country Artists’ Gallery. After relocating to Pollock Pines, Noddin was pleasantly surprised by the area’s burgeoning art scene and has formed invaluable Through September 30 – bonds with other artists. “It’s important to have a strong All Things Wild. Head to community of fellow artists,” she shares. “The work of creating Georgetown’s Art on the Divide Cooperative Gallery can be so isolating.”

HLB: WHAT DRAWS YOU TO IMPRESSIONISM? JN: The use of complementary colors, bold brushstrokes and flattened forms. Impressionists mastered the gesture—the impression of something without having to fully articulate it—which gave space for the viewer to interpret the image

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

HLB: HOW DO YOU OVERCOME SETBACKS? JN: I confront my inner critic and tell her to get the heck out!

Even then, sometimes I get so wrapped up in my work I get too picky and end up overworking a piece. That’s my worst enemy, as I’m working on loosening it up, making a break from the details and concentrating on the broad strokes, simplified shapes, and editing details to mere gestures.

This past January, I lost my beloved dog, Cherie, and couldn’t paint for months. I was also busy moving, but once [established], I set up my studio and got back to work. The first piece I worked on was a painting I started 30 years ago, Mazatlan Marketplace, but never finished, because I found it too difficult. I’d packed the canvas around with all my moves, and this time tasked myself with completing it. I did, and am proud of how it turned out. The beauty of painting every day is you can’t help but improve. jannnoddin.com Artwork (top to bottom): Mazatlan Marketplace, Memorial Rider, Birthday at 2, Gold Rush Gang

Escape to Bliss

by KOURTNEY JASON

With most vacations, we expect to come back feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and renewed. But throw in flight delays and lost luggage, and your relaxing vacation quickly becomes a stressful nightmare. As you plan your next getaway, how about going somewhere that specializes in tranquility? The locales listed here offer gorgeous landscapes, top-notch amenities and healing for the mind, body and soul.

Wilbur Hot Springs Williams, 530-473-2306, wilburhotsprings.com

Sitting 22 miles from the nearest town and set within an 1,800-acre private, natural environment, Wilbur Hot Springs is a sanctuary where people go to heal and for healthy recreation.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Explore the grounds while hiking, biking or sitting and soaking it all in. And be ready to socialize—guests bring their own food, cook in a commercial kitchen and dine in the community dining room.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO: With the slogan, "In all the world no waters like these,” the healing waters are therapeutic from head to toe. Other amenities include massage, acupuncture, acupressure and sound therapy.

PROGRAMS: Guests have their choice of staying in a cabin, hotel room, private room, shared room or camping. Workshops, which are often complimentary for overnight guests, include “How to Open Your Natural Spiritual Abilities,” “Tai Chi on the Historic Red Bridge," and “Guest Chef Weekends” which brings renowned chefs in for three days of mouthwatering meals.

1440 Multiversity

Scotts Valley, 844-544-1440, 1440.org Named for the number of minutes in a day, 1440 Multiversity encourages guests to be present in each moment—a concept that proves difficult in everyday life.

WHAT TO EXPECT: “Multiversity offers weekend and five-day experiential courses on a wide range of health and wellness, professional and personal topics,” says Executive Director Jennifer Wallace, including “Yoga for Athletes” and “Food as Medicine.”

WHAT TO EXPECT: Located on a ridge top, you’re greeted with panoramic views and open night skies, says Co-Founder Ruth Davis. Guests meet twice daily for sitting meditation, then convene in the afternoons for moving meditation.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO: “We teach people the joy of having nothing to do but rather to learn to just be,” she shares.

PROGRAMS: Retreats are based on a nightly rate (twonight minimum stay) that includes the program.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO: A menit ies include complimentary morning yoga and tai chi classes, four miles of hiking trails in the oak and redwood forest, a fitness center, farm-to-table dining and access to the healing arts center, which includes holistic spa offerings and an outdoor infinity edge whirlpool overlooking 1,000-year-old redwood groves and hiking trails.

WE TRIED IT TERRA GLAMPING

By Megan Wiskus According to Urban Dictionary, “glamping” is defined as luxury camping; in other words, getting to experience everything you love about the great outdoors— s’mores, stargazing and al fresco dining—without the backache. Perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific, with 10 safari tents styled straight from Anthropologie (think tufted headboards, colorful rugs, memory foam mattresses, luxurious bedding and private porches), plus hot showers, flush toilets and an uber hip lounge “tent” complete with couches and games galore, Terra Glamping—nestled off Highway 1 near Sea Ranch—boasts all the amenities of a highend hotel with nature (literally) at your doorstep.

The lack of Wi-Fi ensures guests digitally detox and truly connect to their surrounds—and each other— while the communal kitchen provides all the dishware, spices and sauces needed to create a gourmet dinner. An included morning meal features the most sinfully decadent sticky buns, just-sweet (and cinnamon-y) enough granola, along with seasonal fruit, yogurt and pour-over coffee. If you detest discomfort but long to feed your need for nature, then Terra will make you a happy glamper indeed. For more info and to book your stay, visit terraglamping.com.

This means that you can have your surgery in the morning and return home to recover that same day. Moreover, I utilize modern surgical techniques and non-narcotic injections during surgery to allow patients to have a more rapid recovery. Additionally, I use the most current minimally invasive techniques, including the anterior approach to total hip replacements. Furthermore, I have helped developed and utilize robotics in assisting with total joint surgery. Overall, we want you to have a positive experience while we help you get active again.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month Marshall’s Diabetes and Nutrition Education Team Can Help

Clark Durham, a 54-year-old resident of Georgetown, savors a life free of soda, chewing tobacco and bacon (which he ate 3-4 times per day before his doctor referred him to the DNE program in 2014). Within six months of enrolling, he went from requiring five shots of insulin per-day to none.

“A.J. helped me a lot,” he said. “I could call her right now and ask her questions, and she’d help me out.

But you have to want to change.”

November is Diabetes Awareness Month, a time to focus on a condition that affects nearly one in 11 Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Marshall’s DNE team is a resource for the most and current and accurate information, tailored to your unique situation.

“Diabetes can be confusing and overwhelming. It’s one big puzzle,” said Certified Diabetes Educator A.J. Kenworthy, RN, CDE. “We’re here to help people put it all together.”

Led by Program Coordinator Lisa Hartley, RN, CDE, the team consists of a Registered Nurse, Certified Diabetes Educators (CDE) and

Registered Dieticians (RD). They assist you and your provider to create a comprehensive, self-management plan. CDEs are healthcare clinicians – they meet specific competency and continuing education requirements – who offer care customized to each individual. They elicit your perspective and priorities, and present new options, tools and information for shared decision making.

The Marshall DNE services include both individual appointments and classes. The Healthy Living with Diabetes class series offers useful lessons and tools to assist in the management of diabetes. The team hosts appointments and classes year-round in both Placerville and Cameron Park. From newlydiagnosed adults to mothers with gestational diabetes, or for those experiencing new challenges, Marshall DNE welcomes anyone seeking support on their journey.

 For those newly diagnosed

with diabetes, in the first 12 months after the diagnosis, Medicare covers up to 10 hours of diabetes education (and three hours of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and two hours of diabetes education and two hours of MNT in the following calendar years.

Date, time and registration information for the Healthy Living Series classes can be found on www.marshallmedical.org/education.

Prep foods after returning home from the grocery store. Chop, steam or roast those vegetables. Store them in see-through containers, not the refrigerator drawer.

Balance quality and quantity. Don’t mind if your kids eat only two or three kinds of fruits or vegetables. Pack lunches with their favorites. Introduce new ones at dinner time.

Schedules should prioritize fun and wellness Childhood is a journey, not a final destination. Don’t judge kids with adult standards. It puts too much pressure on both parent and child.

Set boundaries. Cut down on the stresses of unlimited choices, i.e., the next sport, the latest electronic toy or clothing trend. Ask your child: How much fun is this (extracurricular activity, sport)? The answer will be revealing.

Let healthy habits speak volumes.

Show your kids the benefits of aerobic exercise, eating properly and relaxing through meditation or yoga. They just might join you.

Behold the power of failure. We can learn more from our mistakes than accomplishments. Constant criticism of mistakes can make tough situations even more stressful.

– Elizabeth Peterson, MD, Marshall Pediatrics

Lighten your backpack load

Pack light. Kids should leave unnecessary items at home or school, pack heavier items low and toward the center and drop heavier books at their lockers throughout the day.

Buy a lightweight backpack with the following features: Two wide, padded shoulder straps, along with a padded back and a waist strap. Rolling backpacks are also recommended.

Use both shoulder straps. These distribute the weight across your child’s back. Tighten the straps to keep the weight closer to the back.

It may indicate an overweight backpack or poor fit.

Dependable shoes are supportive

Listen to the experts: The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) grants a Seal of Acceptance/Seal of Approval to shoes that promote good foot health (ASICS, Stride Rite and Umi Children’s Shoes among them).

Don’t hand me down: Their feet grow quickly. Given kids’ high activity and growth rate, new shoes should be just that (new).

Fashion faux pas: Kids with a history of foot pain should steer clear from low-top canvas shoes. They aren’t supportive enough for their growing feet.

Lift properly by bending at the knees when picking up a backpack.

A child’s foot is more pliable than an adult’s: A shoe not designed properly will mold the foot in the wrong direction.

No gain from pain: If your child experiences back pain, don’t ignore it.

Encourage them to tell you about any

Enable the disability: Some kids suffer from developmental disorders like clubfoot and in-toed/out-toed

FOUNDATION NEWS

Sharing Hope One Life at a Time Jean’s legacy gift of $90,000 through the El Dorado Community Foundation is benefitting one life at a time through the Images of Hope program. One recipient is the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program, which is designed to teach patients and their caregivers mind and body awareness techniques to help live with physical or psychological symptoms due to stress, pain or illness. The benefactors include the annual monthlong Pink in the Night celebration, when lights illuminate local storefronts and bring awareness to those walking the journey of cancer. The funds also benefit patients at Marshall Medical Center, where the canine therapy program features Max, a warm bundle of smiles.

Sadly, Jean passed away in 2017. “This gift will provide hope for so many people and will make a significant impact on these three programs for years to come,” said Wendy Goossen, Marshall’s Director of Cancer Services.

Jean Tindel admires a photo of Anne Finck. Anne passed away in 2014, three years before Jean. Their legacy gift of $90,000 supports both cancer patients and their caregivers.

Where does love begin? And how does its compassion span the years and eventually provide hope for so many people?

For Jean Tindel, it all started in 1934 in Butte, Mont.

When she was old enough, she and her sister were allowed to travel to California where they lived in the Speckles Mansion in San Francisco. Jean obtained her degree in social work at San Jose State. Later she moved to El Dorado County where she became not only a social worker, but the Director of the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce as a trusted real estate agent.

SPECIAL AD SECTION

In the meantime, a tall young woman, Anne Finck, who excelled at 4-H growing up in Rock Rapids, Iowa, used the sale of her prize steer to finance a degree in nursing.

Anne later became a nurse anesthetist. After moving to Northern California, she practiced nursing at Folsom Prison and later at the old Placerville Sanatorium on Coloma Street. At the time, it was the only hospital in Placerville. Anne was determined to find her own special place here. What she found was much more!

6

Jean became Anne’s real estate agent and later discovered they shared the same birthday, Valentine’s Day. They would share the remaining 43 years together.

After Anne’s passing in 2014, Jean understood firsthand the evolving needs of caregivers and their love and commitment to the cancer patient. That’s why she chose to benefit three different projects that supported not only cancer patients, but their caregivers as well. |

that immediate skin-to-skin contact between mom and baby helps relieve pain, stress and stabilizes body temperature for both mom and child, not to mention boosts bonding and initiates breastfeeding. The baby stays with the parents and dedicated lactation consultants provide valuable breastfeeding instruction.. These efforts helped Marshall’s Birth Center earn the distinction as a “Baby Friendly” hospital, one of approximately 300 worldwide designated by UNICEF and the World Health Organization.

Opened in 2013, the Marshall Birth Center is the newest and most modern center in the region. It boasts spacious, all-private suites with many amenities to keep you and your family comfortable and safe.

Terra Edwards gave birth to her son Henry last May. For the Placerville resident, the convenience of giving birth close to home came with an added perk. “It was really comfortable.

It felt more like a hotel than a hospital,” she said.

Large birthing suites, where mothers can labor and deliver in the same

room have lots of natural light and scenic views. Labor rooms are equipped with whirlpool tubs to ease contraction pains and aromatherapy is available to relieve nausea or headaches.

Because babies can take their time coming into the world, a comfortable sleeper sofa is available for family or mom’s support person to stay during labor. WiFi access, TVs with DVD players —in addition to a library of children’s books and movies — are available to pass the time.

In case of an emergency surgery, a dedicated operating room is located within the birth center, eliminating the need to be transported to an operating room in another building. Marshall’s Birth Center has been designed to anticipate every need when it comes to your safety and comfort.

Parents are coached on the benefits of skin-to-skin contact with baby right after birth. Research shows

Congratulations! While there are many decisions you need to make in the coming months, two of the most important choices are your obstetrician and where you’ll give birth to your child. Keep in mind: When you choose an obstetrician, their hospital privileges will dictate where you’ll deliver.

Marshall’s Birth Center is staffed with caring and hard-working doctors, nurses and lactation consultants.

“The staff is over-the-top friendly,” Terra remembered. “They explain everything. They gave great advice, from labor to post-partum. Having a beautiful facility was nice, but the staff made the difference.”

Canine and Equine Ranch Helping Animals and Healing Humans Animals have a great capacity to help humans, and vice versa. From the eager service dog trained to aid a disabled person, and the lovable pig with high enough intelligence to be an assistance animal, to the gentle horse that provides support to an autistic child, it’s clear that animals and humans encourage each other.

At the Canine and Equine Ranch, a nonprofit educational animal sanctuary in Placerville, inspiration happens every day when animals and humans are brought together.

“We benefit the community by helping animals in need to find homes, providing sanctuary, and promoting a proactive approach to advocacy,” explains Kate Kohagen, the organization’s founder and president. “For humans, we provide a safe, fun atmosphere to learn about animals and experience ranch life.”

The educational programs at their scenic foothill property include autism support, homeschool sessions, and working with the Children’s Receiving Home of Sacramento to provide animal interactions for children who have been rescued from abuse and neglect. In addition to these offerings, a large portion of the ranch’s work is achieved Top photo: Jason, Kate and Hadley Kohagen through outreach programs in the community with visits Middle photo: Rebecca Warren and to places like the Gilmore Senior Center in El Dorado Hills.

Gracyn Stevenson Bottom photo: Jace Palmieri and “Our entire staff and board members are unpaid Kate Kohagen volunteers who passionately support our mission with their time, generosity and hard work,” says Kohagen. “The animals are supported by the Sanctuary Support Team, a group of generous community members.”

Kohagen has been an animal lover since a young age. When things took a turn for the worse in her early childhood, they were a source of love and consistency during the turbulent times.

She’s always been grateful for the animals that came into her life and wanted to “pay it forward” by helping others. “I thought that animal rescue or a sanctuary would be an endeavor I could pursue later in life,” Kohagen recalls, “but somehow, I kept getting pulled toward animal training and the rescue network. I decided that life was too short to delay this dream, and if it was worth doing, then it was worth doing now.”

“Art Among the Animals” is a special event the ranch hosts several times each year in which participants enjoy an art project with a live animal model. Money raised from the class offsets the costs of rescuing an animal or enclosure needs.Another fun activity involves bringing the ranch’s mini horses along on a group hike, where community members can walk the mellow horses while enjoying the beauty of a local nature area.

Kohagen is happy to be able to work with rescued animals and benefit humans in need. “I have a big heart for anyone [who] has overcome some sort of challenge, be it physical or psychological,” she says.“Everyone at the ranch looks forward to the longterm success of our participants, programs and the culture that we inspire through animal interactions and guardianship.” attheranch.org photos by DANTE FONTANA

Placerville Shakespeare Club

A

by JERRIE BEARD

Placerville Shakespeare Club

s more civilized influences made their way into gold country in the later part of the 19th century, benevolent societies—such as the Elks, Odd Fellows and Masons—began to spring up. On May 2, 1897, 20 ladies

in Placerville met in Mollie Schueler’s parlor and formed the Placerville Shakespeare Club.

Initially the ladies convened to read, study and discuss the works of Shakespeare. Dues were 50 cents per year, and membership was limited to the number of ladies who could comfortably fit in the parlor. In 1901, after they joined the California Federation of Women’s Clubs, the club’s scope began to change. They became more civic-minded and started a campaign to clean up garbage and dry grass in the city—even placing garbage cans around town and asking the community to place refuse out on the sidewalks on certain days; at their own expense, the club then picked up and disposed of it.

In an effort to preserve the scenic roadway between Placerville and Lake Tahoe, the club lobbied the California Legislature to preserve the trees along Lincoln Highway and, in another instance, to pass a bill allowing people to “condemn and purchase property for its scenic value.”

Their scholarly endeavors included starting a free kindergarten for Placerville’s children, promoting the construction of two new schools, and founding the first city library. The Placerville Arts Association also owes its beginnings to a special interest group within the Placerville Shakespeare Club.

As their activities increased, so did their numbers. Having outgrown Mrs. Schueler’s parlor, the group met for many years in the courthouse. Then in 1921, they purchased a house and lot behind the courthouse. While the house fulfilled their immediate needs, members hoped to build their own clubhouse where they could host Mountain Democrat: May 23, Placerville Shakespeare Club, 1929 1930; May 14, 1997; May 15, 1997 plays, show movies, and provide other events

for the community.

Seed money for the clubhouse came in the form of a bequest from Mollie Wilcox Hurd in 1929. With much fanfare, pontificating, and a parade led by the El Dorado County Band, they broke ground and laid the cornerstone for the new clubhouse on Bedford Avenue behind the courthouse in May 1930. A copper box containing copies of local newspapers, information on the club and its members, projects and affairs, copies of contemporary books on the history of the area, and other artifacts of the time were sealed into the cornerstone. District Attorney Henry Lyon spoke and praised the club as an organization for accomplishment and intellectual advancement.

The ladies of the club worked diligently to pay off the mortgage by staging plays and hosting lunches for merchants and numerous other fund-raisers. They achieved their goal in 1948. Two years later, the state announced that the clubhouse property would be needed for the construction of Highway 50. The ladies agreed to give up their property if the state purchased another parcel along Bedford Avenue and moved their clubhouse, which they did.

As the club approached its centennial in 1997, the group, now nearly 150 members strong, faced the need to update the aging clubhouse. Funds were raised though an auction held at the fairgrounds (the Hangtown Craft Fair), other fund-raisers, rentals of the clubhouse for special events, and donations from members and the community.

The Placerville Shakespeare Club still meets in the clubhouse and the ladies continue to fund-raise, provide services to the community and scholarships to local students. The clubhouse is also available to rent for special occasions. placervilleshakespeare.com

rthy o w e s i a r P Pizzas z n Cásare

by Morga

Lombardi’s—America’s first pizzeria—opened its doors in New York City’s Little Italy in 1905. More than a century later, the family-owned business is still serving up the Margherita that put it on the map. Whole-milk mozzarella, tomato sauce, grated Romano and fresh basil atop a thin, coal-baked crust continue to attract visitors from all over the world. The Big Apple will forever lay claim to the nation’s oldest pizzeria, but that certainly doesn’t make California slices any less celebrated. In fact, some of the state’s most mouthwatering pies are right here in our own backyard. Whether you crave wood-fired, deep dish, vegetarian, classic or something slightly unconventional, you’re sure to find a new favorite among Style’s list of the very best pizzas. In no particular order…

THE ORIGIN OF PIZZA Kids ask the darndest things, but when it comes to “Where does pizza come from?” it’s easy to assume you know the answer.

According to Wonderopolis. org®, an educational resource created by the National Center for Families Learning, the truth depends on a number of factors. For starters, how do we define pizza? The preparation of oven-cooked Queen Margherita flatbreads dates back to ancient times in the Middle East, while ancient Greeks and Romans popularized the use of toppings like olive oil and spices. The invention of pizza as we know it today—a combination of tomato sauce, cheese and toppings—is attributed to Raffaele Esposito of Naples, although historians have noted street vendors were selling flatbreads with toppings years prior to his creation of the Margherita in 1889. It was that year that Esporito famously prepared a pizza with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and basil for King Umberto I and Queen—you guessed it (!)—Margherita of Italy.

PEA PESTO PIZZA WITH RICOTTA, SHAVED ASPARAGUS AND BASIL

Recipe submitted by Bella Karragiannidis of ful-filled.com; @ful. filled FOR THE PEA PESTO: • 16 oz. (1 lb.) fresh peas (or thawed if using frozen) • 1/4 cup roasted unsalted pistachios, shelled • 1/3 cup olive oil • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves • 1 clove of garlic, roughly chopped • 1 tsp. lemon zest • Juice of 1/2 lemon • 1/4 cup Parmesan (or omit to make dairyfree) • Salt and pepper, to taste Begin by blanching the peas in boiling water for 2 minutes and then move them to an ice bath to chill. Remove the peas from the water once chilled. Add the chilled peas, mint, olive oil, lemon zest and Parmesan (if omitting Parmesan add a generous pinch of salt). Pulse in a food processor until ingredients are well combined, but not smooth—you want the pesto to have a bit of texture. Taste the pesto for seasoning; add salt to taste as necessary.

Cover and chill in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Pea pesto will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

FOR THE PIZZA: • 16 oz. (1 lb.) pizza dough + flour for dusting • Pea pesto (see above) • 16 oz. ricotta cheese • 1 bunch of asparagus, shaved and chilled in an ice bath • Extra virgin olive oil • Parmesan cheese • Lemon zest • Red crushed pepper • Fresh basil Preheat oven to 500°F (if you have a pizza stone, preheat the oven with the pizza stone in the top 1/3 of the oven). Shape pizza dough into 1 large round or 2 small rounds, flouring your surface as needed to keep the dough from sticking. Transfer shaped dough to a sheet of parchment paper. Spread dough with

pea pesto, leaving about 1 1/2 inch of dough at the edges bare. Dollop ricotta over the top of the pesto. Place pizza with parchment paper on top of a pizza peel and slide it into the oven onto the pizza stone (if not using a pizza stone, place pizza with parchment onto a baking sheet). Bake pizza for 7-10 minutes until crust is golden and bubbly. Remove pizza from the oven and top with shaved asparagus (drain asparagus from the ice water first) followed by a drizzle of olive oil, Parmesan, chili flakes, lemon zest and fresh basil. Slice and serve.

DINING SPOTLIGHT

Fish & Chips

New Haven Pub and Grill has a little something for everyone. Owner Jim hails from Boston and has brought some East Coast flavor to the extensive menu, including a full pizza menu, not one but six different types of cheese steaks and, when available, New England lobster rolls and a fresh Maine lobster dinner. Plus, there’s tons of burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, pastas, steaks and seafood to choose from.

The bar and dining area is friendly and cozy, and there’s a huge patio with lots of shade; whether seated inside or out, it’s an ideal locale to eat, drink and chill at.

My husband and I dropped by for lunch on a recent Saturday and started with an appetizer of deep-fried zucchini sticks.

For mains, I chose the fish & chips with a salad, and he had the Mercedes Bomber Cheesesteak alongside fries.

Our zucchini sticks came to the table piping hot—clearly cooked to order—and were golden brown and deliciously crisp. The serving size was more than enough to share between two big eaters (or four small eaters!).

My fish & chips were equally impressive, thanks to three thick pieces of Icelandic cod Mercedes Bomber Cheese Steak

New Haven Pub and Grill Fresh Fare Amid Fresh Air

Deep-Fried Zucchini Sticks

and plenty of fries. The fish was battered and browned to crunchy goodness, but not at all greasy, and the crispy tots were salted to perfection. A squirt of lemon and quick dip into the tartar sauce made the meal all the more memorable.

The cheese steak wasn’t only massive and easy on the eyes, but mouthwatering too.

Served on a fresh hoagie roll that was firm and substantial—which is important when it’s doing the job of holding in delicious melty cheese, tender steak and lashings of onions, peppers and mushrooms—my husband enjoyed every last crumb.

Whether en route to or from Tahoe, seeking a relaxed spot for lunch or dinner with the family, or thirsty for a local brew or wine, New Haven Pub and Grill is a prime pick.

Solid Ground Brewing

// Solid Ground Brewing is the ingenious outcome of pairing the brewing and winemaking backgrounds of KC Sare and Scott Johnson. The result? An industrialchic 30-barrel brewhouse, taproom and small kitchen sited on Pleasant Valley Road in Diamond Springs proper. Although their specialty lagers, ales, wines and experimental wine-enhanced beers rotate on the regular, flights are the norm, and with tastes poured heavy enough to share, your party will have no trouble narrowing down a favorite for the evening. Early July saw the addition of Executive Chef Shane McMahon and a perfected, focused menu that includes upscale brewery fare, including garlic-rubbed crostini topped with roasted summer veggies, balsamic reduction, local goat cheese and micro herbs. On our visit, we opted for the sliders with fries and the chicken wings. All talking ceased as we feasted on the traditional Buffalo-sauced wings that remained crispy, tender and flavorful. We couldn’t decide between the house-made blue cheese or herbed buttermilk sauce for dipping, so naturally requested both. The sliders were equally superb. Made from Olivier’s grass-fed, pasture-raised beef and topped with caramelized onions and mustard aioli with your choice of cheddar or blue cheese, they were “the best sliders ever,” according to my former chef boyfriend. Come for the beer and stay for the food—both are beyond solid.

THE HOT LIST

Tacos!

6 Tortilla Tantilizers

compiled by STYLE STAFFERS // photos by DANTE FONTANA

Whether you prefer yours with corn or flour tortillas, and stuffed with carnitas or no carne at all, picking a favorite taco is like picking a favorite child. After some taste testing (OK, a lot) and much debate, we narrowed down our picks and present them here. In no particular order…

52

“Foodie alert! Nixtaco makes the best tacos in town. From chicken mole and pork belly to vegan offerings, plus octopus and sweetbreads, they have it all. My pick is the Nixtaco Combination Specialty Taco with tender shrimp, rajas con queso, chicharron, micro cilantro, toasted sesame seed-chile oil and peanut-chipotle aioli on their house-made blue corn tortilla with grilled Oaxaca cheese. Talk about a muy bueno meal.” nixta.co

“Totem Coffee in Placerville brings new meaning to the phrase ‘TGIF’ with their tasty vegetarian street taco that's available Friday evenings from 4-6 p.m. Featuring perfectly spiced potatoes, garbanzo beans and bell peppers on a corn tortilla, it's satiating without leaving you grossly stuffed—providing plenty of room for a craft beer that the $6 combo comes with!” totemcoffeeroasters.com

“I’d never had—or heard of—mashed potatoes in a taco before until trying the Sinaloa-style tacos from Mexquite, and now I’m officially hooked! Filled with the aforementioned spuds and shredded chicken or beef, then fried to crispy perfection and served with lettuce, marinated onions, sour cream and queso fresco, they’re unforgettable and uber addicting.” mexquite.com

“If you’re a fan of al pastor, grab a couple of adovada tacos with all the fixin's from Freshmex Express Mexican Grill. The cubes of slow-cooked pork are marinated in a flavorful red chili (guajillo) sauce (it’s normally kept in the back, so you have to ask for it) and are a carnivore’s dream. Add some cilantro, fresh salsa, onions, and a healthy squeeze of lime for a delicious lunch.” freshmexexpress.com

“Though not a Mexican restaurant, the Street Taco Trio from Folsom Tap House never disappoints. Pick your protein or mix and match—offerings include carnitas tossed in chili verde sauce, shredded barbacoa beef, fried calamari, chili lemon chicken (my fav!) and veggie—and get ready to have your palate blown. The owner, Stacey, really puts her heart and soul into making the eatery a local favorite, which probably explains why I’m a regular (especially during football season!).” folsomtaphouse.com

“Who knew Powell’s Steamer Co. and Pub on Placerville’s Main Street served tacos? Tuesdays haven’t been the same since discovering their pulled pork taco and tilapia filet taco that are under $6 a pop. The fish can be ordered grilled or fried, and it’s served simply—with fresh salsa, cabbage and a squirt of lime, so that the seafood can take the spotlight.” powellssteamer.com

Answers by Greg and Laurie Rose Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

Camp Nauvoo is a venue where you can experience your dream wedding, family reunion, and group or corporate event.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

We’re a small venue, and Greg does all of the coordinating; he’s all about the customer, and I call him my secret weapon!

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

We have raised five beautiful children between the two of us and all of them are productive members of the community.

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

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

One day while wine tasting, we decided it would be fun to have a trailer made into a bar. When Pat noticed a vintage trailer in someone's side yard, it was time to make it happen. Now we have a great trailer for weddings, parties and other special events. We pull up and can just bring the trailer (if you want to do your own thing) or we can bartend and provide what you'd like us to do. (The host provides the liquor.)

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

Pat worked in a cookie store and learned that as a business owner you need to be involved.

We have a cabin that's surrounded by the Eldorado National Forest on three sides. This is the legacy we're leaving our children.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

What’s your hidden talent?

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

The ability to juggle many things at once!

The great outdoors—be it the mountains or the coast.

Having lots of love, faith, family and friends.

What’s your biggest job perk?

What’s your biggest job perk?

Getting to know our customers.

Getting to watch people having fun at their parties!

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

Bene Ristorante Italiano and Tijuana Taqueria.

Cascada on Main Street.

What’s your favorite local event that you go to?

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

Apple Hill for apple pie or the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival.

Sunday afternoons on Fashoda Beach at Union Valley Reservoir.

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

What’s your favorite local event that you go to?

Placerville Hardware (we could spend hours there!) or visiting Boa Vista for our weekly produce.

The Hangtown Car Show—awesome cars and a nice crowd.

And finally, customer service is…?

Centro Coffeehouse for our daily mocha and latte.

Being able to react to enhance the customer experience, which requires truly listening and getting to know what your customer needs and wants.

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

And finally, customer service is…?

Doing your best to make customers happy.

DO YOU KNOW THAT OUR EDITORIAL IS NOT PAID FOR, NOR CAN IT BE PURCHASED?

WHAT’S COMING NEXT MONTH?

Don’t miss Style’s annual “Readers’ Choice Awards.”

58

by TOM MAILEY

W

ell, it’s time to call it a day for Tom’s Take.

Nearly every month since 2007, Style has been kind enough to let me fill these pages with my thoughts, at (roughly) 600 words at a time for a ridiculously generous monthly retainer—which, yes, explains the summer home in Tahiti.

Kidding. I still shop at Sears.

Regardless, while I’ve generally tried to bring a little humor to this page, the most rewarding months were always about people in our community who deserved a spotlight…people like Brittany Gaines, who hasn’t let a little thing like blindness and cerebral palsy keep her

from graduating high school and pursuing her college degree. Or Jennifer Donchenko, whose Sweet Dreams Foundation adds imagination and fantasy to the bedrooms of children with lifethreatening illnesses who are often homebound.

Or Jason Harper, the founder of Character Combine, who believes youth sports are the perfect place to encourage our kids to be not just better athletes but better people. There are thousands more like them too, working and living next to us. They all deserve a spotlight and to me, that’s something to keep in mind: There are far more good people brushing shoulders with us than we realize. People who give their time, creativity, passion (and compassion) to make this region an incredibly special place to raise our families and spend our lives. I wish I would’ve featured more of them.

Once I have something, I have a tough time letting go (and if you don’t believe that just check the shirts in my closet). I’m not a very good quitter, so this decision has not been easy.

But it’s time to give someone else a turn. You’ve put up with/indulged me more than enough as I’ve prattled on about my life, my family, my pets—my duck. I’m the first to acknowledge that I have a long way to go before I can call myself a decent writer but despite that, I hope some of what I shared hit the sweet spot and made you laugh. I also hope some of it connected emotionally. I know it helped me through some tough times, including the passing of my parents and a childhood friend.

And although I’m not a wise person by any stretch, if doing this column has given me any wisdom that I can pass along, it’s this: Embrace life, all of it—the good, the bad, the crazy. Learn from mistakes, hold onto the funny, and never let go of the stuff that touches your heart.

Appreciate all of it. It’s a cliché. But it’s still true.

And do it now.

Because every month I tried to find a quiet eddy in my life where I could wrestle my ADHD into temporary submission and write this piece. And after several years of such, um, forced reflection, it finally hit me just how incredibly fast it all goes by. Hey, I’m a slow learner.

But dammit, kids grow. Parents get older. Triumph and failure tag team into and out of our lives. If all we do is stand by waiting for circumstances to improve or our kids to graduate or our lives to get more fulfilling, guess what? We’re gonna miss it all.

I still hope to write the occasional freelance piece for Style (especially—hint—about local beer) so I won’t be gone from these pages entirely. Writing is still an itch I’m going to occasionally need to scratch. Or maybe it’s more like a rash.

Either way, that’s it. I’m off to Tahiti!

Kidding. Sears has a great sale on pants.
