I

could really go for a glass of wine right now.

After reading this month’s feature, “Be Wine Wise” by Megan Wiskus—a treasure trove of wine secrets straight from area connoisseurs—my mouth will not stop watering. Might I have a wineloving problem? Thank you for the resounding “no.” You, too, will see what I mean when you enlighten yourself with this dizzying harvest of wine secrets, trivia and tips.

Word to the wise, the wine-wise that is, some might start referring to you as a “cork dork” if you spill too many of these fun facts in casual conversation. So I say now is the time, my friends, to pour a nice glass or order your favorite bottle, then swirl and savor your newfound knowledge.

Also this September, we celebrate the fall color palette “It’s funny how that has begun eight glasses to transform the of water a surrounding day seems landscape. impossible, but Our everyday eight glasses vantages—whether of wine can be driving to and from done at one work or activities, meal.” taking a jog around —Unknown the neighborhood, walking the dogs at a local park, and my favorite, visiting a nearby vineyard—give ample opportunity to glean inspiration by simply noticing nature and all its splendor. For even more artful exploration, flip the pages to Heather L. Becker’s “The Ones to Watch,” a profile of “small-town artists doing big things.” Heck, double your pleasure by sipping a glass of wonderful wine while you peruse some amazing area talent.

Until next month, cheers! Salud!

Salute! Prost! Santé! Kanpai! You get the picture…• — Desiree P.S. Don’t forget to check back next month to see…drum roll please…

asktheexperts Q: What skin conditions can micro-needling treat, and how does it work?

A: Micro-needling addresses many skin conditions, including sagging skin, scars, wrinkles, neck rejuvenation, skin texture, stretch marks, cellulite, age spots, hair loss and hand rejuvenation.

It’s extremely popular—due to the significant and natural results delivered—and is based on creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which initiate the body’s natural healing mechanism, forcing the production of new collagen. After the micro-injuries are created, applying products specific to the skin’s needs enhance results. It’s important to know that estheticians, even under a doctor, are not permitted or qualified to safely perform this treatment without certification as a medical assistant or tattoo artist.

Q: How do dental sealants work?

A: A sealant is a thin, plastic-like coating that’s applied to the

top chewing surface of teeth with deep grooves, typically to the back baby or adult teeth. The deep grooves on teeth create little traps for plaque and debris, which toothbrush bristles can’t always

reach. These areas are highly susceptible to cavities, but sealants help shield these grooves so cavities can’t form. Sealants are considered a preventive measure, so they need to be applied before there is a cavity present.

Q&A Q: What comes to you naturally?

Kris: Coaching football and being a dad.

Troy: Teaching, motivating and leading.

Q: What’s your biggest pet peeve?

Kris: Whiners.

Troy: Excuses instead of commitment.

Q: Biggest life inspirations?

Kris: My mom and dad—they taught me the value of hard work and how to be a good person.

Troy: My wife’s love, support and belief in me.

Troy Taylor and Kris Richardson K ris Richardson and Troy Taylor have more in common than their position as co-head coaches of the Folsom High School varsity football team.

They’re both P.E. teachers, fathers of three and former football players (Richardson played for the University of New Mexico; Taylor spent two years as a quarterback for the New York Jets). And although the two men moved in similar social circles during high school, they didn’t officially meet until their first day working at Folsom High—and quickly became the best of friends. “We spend all day together,” Richardson says with a laugh. “Our kids play at each other’s houses.”

The two men also share a similar philosophy when it comes to coaching.

“The foundation of what we believe is 14 stylefedh.com - September 2015

honest and open communication with kids,” Taylor explains. “It’s about acceptance for who they are, bonding and belonging.”

Together with their team of coaches—many who volunteer their time—Richardson and Taylor aim to motivate kids through teamwork and positivity, as opposed to fear. And it’s worked: The Folsom High School Bulldogs have won two state championships since 2010, and they’ve been section champions for four out of the last five years.

Even more rewarding for the two coaches, however, is being able to prepare the players for their future careers and lives.

“Team culture is about everybody being valued, not just great players,” Taylor shares.

“Through football, kids get confidence in all aspects of their lives.”

— Amber Foster

•

Q: Favorite humanitarian cause?

Kris: Evening of Dreams—a prom for students with special needs.

Troy: Anti-bullying. Everyone has the right to be who he or she is without fear of ridicule, humiliation or intimidation.

Q: Best words of wisdom you’ve received?

Kris: Surround yourself with great people.

Troy: Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.

FAVORITES Escape: Maui (Kris); reading (Troy) Guilty pleasure: Vanilla ice cream (Kris); ice cream (Troy) Meal in town: Ribeye from Land Ocean (Kris); Sienna in El Dorado Hills (Troy) Memory: Winning two state championships (Kris); the birth of my three children: Noah, Ella and Aaron (Troy) Musician/band: Eminem (Kris); The Beatles and Elton John (Troy) Local nonprofit: Twin Lakes Food Bank (Kris); Donovan Creason Memorial (Troy)

folsom zoo spotlight Meet Gus the Horse

I

t’s friendship...just a perfect blendship are lyrics to an old song that ring true in the case of handsome horse Gus and guard dog Annabelle, an unlikely duo who met at the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary in 2007. Both animals hang out in the shady pasture, and oftentimes you’ll see Gus gently licking Annabelle’s face; she reciprocates by mouthing the big horse’s ears and neck. Life is good.

Ancestors of horses originated on the North American continent 60 million years ago, but then disappeared before returning with the arrival of Spanish explorers. Escaped horses formed the beginning of the great herds that spread upward from Mexico and transformed Native American cultures—with Plains and Great Basin groups becoming expert riders and horse breeders.

Here in Folsom, Gus and Annabelle continue to horse around like two kids and best friends.

Pure Life Juice Company

G

Foodie Find photo by Dante Fontana.

reeted by a fresh, bright atmosphere and exuding the charm of Folsom’s Historic Sutter Street, Pure Life Juice Company is a one-stop shop for all of your natural coldpressed juice needs. Taunted by the bright colors of the freshly made juices in the front display, I opted to order the Original Acai Bowl to fulfill my afternoon cravings. A large cup of perfectly cooled and blended exotic acai, banana, blueberries, coconut sugar and house-made almond milk—mixed with fresh granola and topped with additional fresh fruit and snow-like coconut shavings— instantly reminded me of my previous trials at pure, healthy eating.

Looks usually deceive; however, this extravagant creation tasted as sweet as it appeared. The acai berry—an antioxidant powerhouse that is also high in omegas—not only helped curb my appetite for the rest of the day, but brought along a sudden boost of energy too.

The combination of fresh ingredients was heavenly, to say the least, and left me wanting to make a visit to Pure Life part of my daily routine. Conveniently close to the trails surrounding Lake Natoma, it’s the perfect pit stop after a morning bike ride or a day out with the family. Pure Life Juice Company, 604 Sutter Street, Suite 190.

“The house-made Cinnamon Roll from Sutter Street Grill is literally as big as your head!

It’s the ultimate post-workout, melt-in-your-mouth, shareable treat.” sutterstreetgrill.info

“The pastries at Bakerie & Latte Chateau Arme in El Dorado Hills are the tastiest baked goods around. The hardest part is deciding between the Lemon Poppyseed, Raspberry or Blueberry Muffins, since they’re all giant, made fresh daily (i.e. never dry) and to die for.” 916-9390834

“I customize the Veggie Benedict at El Dorado Hills’ The Purple Place by adding tomato (it comes with sautéed mushrooms, spinach and three poached eggs on an English muffin) and get it served with Hash Browns.

Indulgent, yet kind of healthy, the portion is big enough to eat half there and take half home.” thepurp.com “I always order the Chilaquiles Poblanos at Mexquite in Folsom, but ask them to hold the onions. It’s like having nachos for breakfast (crispy corn tortilla strips sautéed with tomatillo salsa and melted cheese then topped with two over-medium eggs, cilantro, sour cream and queso fresco) and will get me out of bed any day.” mexquite.com

Miles of bike (and pedestrian) trails in Folsom (including the Willow Creek and Humbug Creek trails).

The best part? With our summers being SO hot, a good portion of the trails traverse through beautiful wooded areas, so there’s plenty of shade to take shelter from mean old Mr. Sun.

$125 MILLION The total worth of gold from the dredging operations that ran in Folsom and Mormon Bar from 1898-1962. In 1916 alone, the Natomas Company of California, one of the biggest companies—with 11 dredges—yielded $2 million worth of gold.

1960

Year the duck ponds at Governor’s Park (now known as the Reid White Jr. Memorial Duck Ponds) were created. El Dorado Hills proper is a relatively new community, compared to Gold Rush-era cities and towns in the region, but preserving these pieces of history is still hugely important. The ponds are undergoing restoration for the first time since 1999, removing sediment and invasive plants to improve the water quality and vegetation for the animals that live there and the folks who visit.

FOLSOM COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY-September 19 If you missed out on Folsom’s largest day of service and volunteerism last year, don’t fret, you still have time to make a difference before the end of summer at Folsom’s second annual Community Service Day on Saturday, September 19. With a goal to accomplish as many tasks in a single day that would normally take months or even years to complete, volunteers of all ages are invited to lend a hand on various projects—from a citywide food drive to creating military care packages and beautifying our city’s points of pride. Communications Manager and Community Service Day Committee Member Christine Brainerd

encourages residents to “join your friends, family and neighbors, and give back to your community by volunteering for a project that will have a lasting and meaningful impact on the Folsom community.” After a great turnout of over 1,000 volunteers in 2014, this year’s goal is to tackle 25 single-day projects “that benefit diverse segments of the community and assist those in need.” Projects will take place at a variety of Folsom locations from 8:30 a.m. to approximately 12:30 p.m. For more information and to find a project that fits your interests and reserve your spot, visit folsomcommunityservice.org. •

5 Dehydration Myths

by Kristen Castillo

Y

our body needs water to do everything—from keeping you cool to helping your heart pump and digesting food. Drink too little and your body won’t function well. Think you know what it takes to be water wise? Read on as local doctors debunk five dehydration myths.

“There are no studies that actually support this,” says internal medicine physician Anthony Retodo, M.D., medical services director at Kaiser Permanente Folsom Medical Offices. He says determining how much water you need depends on your daily activity, exercise level and diet, as well as your personal physiology and how much fluid your body needs to keep cool.

Myth 2 / You Can’t Drink Too Much “It is certainly possible to drink too much, [which] leads to the issue of hyponatremia in exercisers who overhydrate,” says sports medicine specialist Jeffrey Tanji, M.D., associate medical director of the Sports Medicine Program at UC Davis Health System, explaining hyponatremia refers to low sodium in blood serum, which is typically lost by sweating and then replaced by drinking lots of plain water. With symptoms like passing out, weakness, confusion and loss of consciousness, hyponatremia can be a medical emergency.

Myth 3 / All Drinks Are Created Equal “Water [is] fine for shorter, easier workouts of up to 45 minutes where you’re not sweating a lot,” says Roopinder Poonia, M.D., a nephrologist for Mercy Medical Group, a service of Dignity Health Medical Foundation. “However, if you’re doing a more high intensity activity or workout where you’ll be sweating a lot, especially in warmer w e a t h e r, h a v e a sports drink.” That’s because sports drinks have electrolytes— dissolved minerals like sodium, calcium and magnesium, as well as carbohydrates, which are quickly absorbed in the bloodstream.

Electrolytes “play an important role in helping your body regulate fluid and maintain 28 stylefedh.com - September 2015

KEEP YOUR HYDRATION LEVELS IN CHECK • The Institute of Medicine recommends adults consume 91-125 ounces of water a day from drinks and foods.

• Know the symptoms of mild dehydration such as thirst, dry mouth, weakness and headache.

• Make sure your urine is clear to pale yellow; dark yellow urine indicates dehydration. an optimal balance,” Dr. Poonia says. Or, consider sipping coconut water, which Dr. Tanji calls, “a naturally occurring sports drink with the proper mixture of water, electrolytes and carbohydrates.” You might want to reach for chocolate milk too since, as Dr. Tanji notes, it has leucine, an amino acid that helps the body recover from exercise. Stay away from caffeinated drinks and alcohol, which can actually cause dehydration, and avoid juices since their high sugar content can upset your stomach.

Myth 4 / Only Drink Water When You’re Thirsty Don’t wait to be thirsty to start drinking H2O! “You must be proactive about drinking to avoid getting behind,” says Dr. Poonia, noting the body loses water all the time through sweating, breathing, urine and stools. “Staying hydrated is particularly essential if you’re out in the sun, doing physical activity, or working in the heat,” he says.

Myth 5 / Replenish Fluids After You Exercise It’s smart to quench your thirst after exercising, but it’s better to drink before and during your workout too. “The way to know if you’re drinking enough water is to simply weigh yourself before and after you exercise,” says Dr. Retodo. “If your weight is the same, then you are drinking enough.”

"Dentists and medical doctors, working together, create a perfect solution for our patients", states Dr. Sholeh Rahimi. "As an example, patients with heart disease may be referred to a dentist for further care according to research from Harvard University School of Medicine and the Journal of Periodontology."

"Dr. Rahimi and I realized how important it is to work together to solve a medical or dental need for our mutual patients. When a patient has an IV line for sedation while in a dental chair, it is comforting to know that a medical doctor is on hand to ensure everything goes smoothly.

We feel this is undoubtedly the highest standard of care possible!", says Dr. Nasr DDS. Dr. Sholeh Rahimi has amazing credentials. She is an MD and PhD which required eleven years of schooling and research plus an additional three years of a specialty program in Internal Medicine.

She has the best of two worlds - a European education in Germany plus her speciality training in the U.S. Dr. Hamid Nasr finished dental school in 1995 at one of the top universities in Germany. During his 20 year career Dr. Nasr has achieved the highest continued education in cosmetic dentistry from UCLA, completed his two year residency at the California Center for Advanced Dental Studies (C.C.A.D.S.) and has four years of continued education in implant dentistry. He is also certified in CAD/ CAM dentistry, which is teeth in one day design, milled in the office.

kiira faith kinkle A Sparkling Fighting Spirit

or local parents Jason and Kirsti Kinkle, the celebration of the birth of their daughter Kiira Faith quickly turned alarming when they noticed her skin and lips were bleeding. After a tumultuous 10 days in the NICU, Kiira Faith was diagnosed with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a rare and possibly life-threatening genetic condition that causes blistering and tearing of the skin from often even the slightest friction.

Genes determine a plethora of traits, from the color of our hair to the shape of our toes, and everything in between. Yet, sometimes, the unique set of genes we inherit from each parent carries a piece of a problematic puzzle that, once joined, becomes a hindrance to our health. RDEB is one of the rare genetic conditions that can occur. Having RDEB means Kiira Faith’s body doesn’t make collagen VII, which is needed to hold together the layers of skin. Kirsti explains, “RDEB isn’t just a skin condition you can cure with a certain diet or cream.

It’s genetic and a mutation in your DNA, and you can’t change your DNA.” The challenges Kiira Faith comes up against can often seem like insurmountable feats, but Kirsti, along with her husband Jason and their two other daughters, are determined to help Kiira Faith live her life to the fullest. “RDEB threw our family a huge curveball. Although it took some major adjustments, we were still able to take a family vacation, continue with the girls’ activities, church activities and even fit in some work.”

Getting a diagnosis was not the end, but

rather the beginning of a very long road for the Kinkle family. “Your skin is your largest organ that is also in your mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines and eyes. All of these areas are affected by RDEB,” Kirsti explains.

While the medical tests, procedures and surgeries can be harrowing, Kirsti says faith and friends help get them through the hard times. “The emotional side of dealing with a child who has such a serious condition was, and is, the biggest barrier we’re trying to overcome, but the support and prayers of family, friends and even strangers, has helped us immensely,” she says.

Though Kiira Faith has been through a multitude of surgeries and procedures, including a bone marrow transplant this past summer, Kirsti emphasizes that her daughter has a strong spirit and that natural, mischievous toddler spark. “Kiira is an active, smiley, happy baby. She loves her sisters, music and grabbing things she shouldn’t!”

Kirsti says. When asked what people can do to support Kiira Faith and other children with RDEB, Kirsti says the answer is to spread awareness. “Tell people about RDEB and hopefully a rare condition like this can get more funding for research.” She also rec-

In the Know • EB is rare: Only one out of every 20,000 children born in the U.S. is afflicted.

• Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is an inherited genetic condition.

• You cannot catch RDEB from another person.

• A skin biopsy and genetic tests are needed to diagnose RDEB. • There are several types of RDEB with varying degrees of severity, which can affect mobility, nutrition, disease susceptibility and life expectancy.

This month, from September 26-27, the sixth annual Folsom Railroad Festival—a free family event showcasing “anything on wheels,” along with train rides, music and three convention rooms of model trains—takes place along Placerville Road (across the street from Hampton Inn) in Folsom. The arrival of fall also brings a special excursion train, the “Pumpkin Patch Flyer” (the last two weekends of October), which carries families from Folsom to Willow Hollow Pumpkin Patch and back. That’s in addition to several regular excursions every month, including the “Latrobe Breakfast Special,” a monthly one-hour trip from Folsom to Latrobe, where passengers enjoy a pancake breakfast at Latrobe’s Community Hall.

The idea of it all is to keep local residents in touch with our area’s rail history and invite them to get involved in preserving it. Family memberships in FEDSHRA are just $48 per year, while individual active memberships are $24 per year, and all proceeds from memberships and excursions go back into maintaining the railroad and museum. New additions to the all-volunteer staff are also welcomed, to help with the business side of running a railroad, maintaining equipment and staffing the museum.

1 / Rack and Roll For those who don’t have an admired collection, just a few loose bottles, a quick and easy storage solution—one that won’t break the budget (or the bottles)—is preferred. Installing an extra kitchen cabinet or converting one that isn’t often used is a great way to store your Sauvignon while it’s not being enjoyed. For extra storage and better keeping, add racking to the cabinet to help separate the bottles to keep them tactfully taken care of.

2 / Island Oasis One of our favorite storage solutions is converting a fixture you already own into something brand new— plus you’ll feel like you just scored a new piece of furniture. Say you have a kitchen island with built-in shelving.

While that’s great for cookbooks and dishes, it’s not suitable for circular storage.

Creating a cubby system within your shelving helps to control your wine stock and keeps it neat and tidy. For bottles that need extra attention, install a temperature-controlled fridge in a cove next to the cubbies—your Chardonnay will thank you.

38 stylefedh.com - September 2015

If your wine interests challenge those of a skillful sommelier, we suggest custom storage. Taking care of a prized wine collection requires tender love and care, so knowing the specific storage requirements for your bottles often requires a custom job. As you know, wine must be kept out of direct sunlight to keep its flavor intact; it should also be kept away from places with strong aromas (i.e. the kitchen), and should always be kept in a cool, dark place so as not to alter its wonderful composition.

4 / Interactive Art Many take pride in their wine collection.

Whether you’re showing off a few cherished scores or are just looking for something to adorn a blank wall, you’re in luck.

Wine has quickly become a decorative theme and its storage has followed suit.

Hang a rack fixture above a bar cart to create a cozy cocktail corner or build a large wall shelf out of distressed wood to artfully display your Merlots. Creating a piece of art that you can admire and enjoy? Now that’s good home décor!

While we’re a fan of decorative displays and suitable storage, the best way to properly take care of your wine collection is to enjoy it, so grab a glass and relax knowing your wine is being kept safe and sound. Cheers!

Perhaps it’s the slower pace and homegrown hospitality of the countryside, or maybe it’s the majestic beauty of the mountains, rivers and trees.

Whatever the secret ingredient is, our area seems to beckon to the best amongst artists— from painters and mixed-media mavens to illustrating innovators and digital masters.

By keeping a finger on the pulse of this burgeoning scene, Style handpicked this selection of up-and-coming artists—only a sampling of the tenacious talent that calls this area home. You’d be hard-pressed not to be blown away by what these artists are creating, as indeed these are the ones to watch.

orn and raised in Romania, Alexandra Badolian now brings her mixed-media portraits, landscapes and collages to the El Dorado Hills art scene with an alluring marriage between classic European and contemporary American influences.

In addition to winning several awards from the Placer Arts League, her work has been shown at numerous local galleries and at her own BI Design Studio.

HLB: Were you always artistic?

AB: I’m fortunate to have parents who realized at an early age that I was talented and enrolled me in the fine arts school in my hometown of Bucharest. I learned the great techniques and tools a young artist needs to express themselves and went on to a fine arts high school where I studied fashion design for four years. It was fun—a young girl’s dream come true—we were designing, sewing, working with models and putting together our own fashion shows.

HLB: What brought you to the states?

AB: I continued my education by getting a master’s degree in Florence, Italy. That was the year that changed my life. Three weeks after school started, I met my wonderful, future husband who was attending the same school. It was like the Italians say, colpo di fulmine—a strike of lightning. We fell in love and married six months later. We were so blessed to live and study in the most beautiful city in Europe, Paris (forgive me for being biased), but decided to come back to California where my husband is from.

Soon after, we opened our own business, BI Design Studio, which specializes in interior design, flooring, kitchen and bath products.

HLB: Who or what is your major influence?

AB: My mother—she found the perfect balance between the roles of mother, businesswoman, wife and daughter. She’s a role model for my little girl and me.

HLB: What advice would you give to beginning artists?

AB: Never be afraid to erase and start again. It’ll always be better than what it was. badoliandesign.com

tudying history with a minor in fine art in college, David Kalbach didn’t initially push his artistic talents, deciding instead to pursue an MBA. Yet, even in the business world, he gravitated toward a visionary career in advertising— finding it a fun challenge to solve communication problems amongst other creative types. With his children leaving the nest, Kalbach is finally bringing his art front and center, allowing it to receive the recognition it deserves.

HLB: What were you like as a young artist?

DK: I didn’t have any direction or any real idea as to how you [could] make a living.

Having seen Lust for Life about Vincent van Gogh at an impressionable age, I didn’t have high regard for the arts as a way of life.

HLB: Have you been blocked as an artist?

DK: Artist’s block is a part of life.

Sometimes it’s just being afraid of making a mark that’s wrong or doesn’t translate what you’re trying to create. It’s at this point when you have to drum up the courage to throw yourself into the fray.

Don’t be afraid of making an error—try a solution that may be the opposite of what you’re trying to achieve. A wild approach may suggest a different answer, or may become part of a solution.

HLB: Do you deliberately paint certain subjects?

DK: Inspiration strikes first. Paintings of people are generally people I’ve known or have become acquainted with—people whose personality, or some other aspect of their persona, I’m excited by.

HLB: Why do you gravitate toward pastels?

DK: I picked them up not too long ago because of an artist friend, and ever since I’ve evolved to doing a lot of pastels. I’m the treasurer of the Pastel Society of the West Coast—the second largest [pastel society] in the U.S. HLB: What do you enjoy most about your community?

DK: The area of Folsom and El Dorado Hills is ideally situated—close to Sacramento, the Bay Area, the mountains and Lake Tahoe.

BIG THING

S

lthough James Canning creates his captivating and quizzical pieces from photographs, it’d be a mistake to call him a photographer. The El Dorado Hills artist—whose work can be viewed at the Gold Country Artists’ Gallery—begins with a single image and then creates compositions from a variety of materials that are both organic and digitally altered. What emerges is a piece that stops its viewer in their tracks and asks them to take another look, then another, and to keep looking.

HLB: How do you create your pieces?

JC: I love the patterns in nature and how related patterns appear across widely differing parts of the universe. Each of my pieces utilizes a number of photographs, which I modify for color, shape, size or some other characteristic. On my computer, I work them together—according to the theme for the piece—although the result is nothing like a traditional collage. I use a digital brush to paint in, or remove, detail.

HLB: How’d you get started?

JC: I started drawing and painting around the age of 13 and just loved it—most of my teenage angst went into art instead of something less fulfilling. My mother encouraged me with her love of art, which helped. My dad then gave me a camera and darkroom equipment, and I’ve loved photography ever since.

HLB: What inspires you?

JC: Surrealism has always delighted me, along with any detailed, realistic technique— from painting and drawing to printmaking.

HLB: What’s your best tip?

JC: Try lots of different mediums. Work at developing technique, not producing finished pieces, as the polish will come later. Go to museums and galleries— don’t just browse the Internet—since art is always better in person.

Spend time with people who enjoy art, including other artists. When you see a piece you love, think about what specifically appeals to you.

James Canning

HLB: What’s your life motto?

JC: “Life is real only then, when ‘I am,’”—George Gurdjieff. It’s very, very hard to live by but then, nothing good comes easily. Protect and feed your spirituality, and starve your negativity. jamescanningart.com

odi Queenan creates whimsical drawings as an expression of what’s dearest to her, which is reflected in themes of children, bonds of family, landscapes and animals. “My artwork was always an extension of what’s within my own heart first,” Queenan says. Author and illustrator of the book Twinkle Twinkle, Queenan is also a member of the Folsom Arts Association and showcases her work at the Sutter Street Art Gallery.

HLB: How do you begin a piece?

JQ: I first sketch my pieces on watercolor paper, sometimes a sketchbook if I’m away from my studio. Next, I use permanent black pen to trace over the lines I want to keep, and then add watercolors. I also use pencils, acrylic paint and collage paper—depending upon the piece—then scan it into Photoshop. I usually sell open and limited editions; to date, I’ve sold over 1,300 pieces and shipped all over the world.

HLB: What medium do you prefer?

JQ: I love all different mediums, but I usually fall back to my pen and ink illustrations, which is artist lingo for a Sharpie and a set of watercolors. They’re portable, and I can move through my house or anywhere to work on a piece while watching my little boy play.

HLB: How’d you get your start?

JQ: I began as a professional photographer. Eventually, my need to try new things led me to pen and watercolor. I loved how I could enjoy art independently without needing a subject. People bought my pieces and it just evolved.

HLB: If you weren’t an artist, what would you be?

JQ: That’s simple: I’m an elementary school teacher, and I love it. My students are a joy!

HLB: What would you tell your students who want to study art?

JQ: Be true to yourself and create because it brings you hope and joy, or perhaps it’s something you need to communicate to the world, but be shrewd as well. Study marketing and understand what people want and buy—it’s a balance. jodiqueenan.com Pro Elephant

nspired by shadows, color and pattern, painter Jeanine Robb crafts close-up, intimate and unusual views of still life.

“Each summer, I take a traveling art trip to explore new mediums and hone my skills,” says Robb. “I’ve been all over the U.S., Canada and Ireland taking workshops.”

Since she began exhibiting and selling her work, the artist has won several “Best in Show” awards for her watercolors and has been published in Sketchbook Magazine, as well as Cloth, Paper, Scissors.

HLB: Why watercolor?

JR: I love the challenges they present.

Watercolors can have a mind of their own, and I love that unpredictability. I’ve recently expanded into printmaking, using water-based inks and a gelatin plate. Printmaking opens up experimentation, which I like, and has led me to trying other forms including linocut and collagraph. I’ve also been dabbling with digital art.

Artist photo by Dante Fontana. Artwork photos courtesy of the artist.

HLB: When did you discover you were an artist?

JR: My mom was creative and encouraged me from a young age.

I remember each summer starting with new materials, such as a pack of construction paper or colored pencils, and exploring. When I was in high school, my best friend was taking oil painting lessons and that’s when I got into painting. I took a drawing class in college but didn’t pursue art again until I started working and needed a creative outlet.

HLB: How have you dealt with setbacks?

JR: Once I started putting myself out there, I had to realize that art is subjective and rejection is part of the game. I’ve had to learn to not take it personally and keep doing what I enjoy doing—keep sharing through the various outlets available to me.

Jeanine Robb

HLB: What’s useful about art associations?

JR: Art-making can be isolating, so having the opportunity to interact with other artists opens you up to new opportunities and keeps you connected.

HLB: What do you love most about Folsom?

JR: One of my favorite things is how many excellent artists there are—artists who are so generous with their time and experience. I’ve made great friendships with many people whom I get to share creative energy with. jrobbarts@gmail.com

“Summer’s best wines are refreshing, bright and deliciously versatile with warm-weather foods and casual barbecues.

Viognier pairs well with light dishes and enhances the flavors of lobster, scallops, grilled fish and even Chinese takeout, thanks to its pleasant minerality, floral aromas and notes of stone fruit and citrus.”

IN THE INTIMIDATING WORLD OF WINE, IT CAN BE CONFUSING DECIPHERING THE PROPER WAY TO TASTE, SELECT A BOTTLE, STORE, POUR AND PRESERVE. THANKFULLY, AREA EXPERTS— I.E. LOCAL WINERIES—STEPPED IN TO ASSIST WITH THEIR BEST WORDS OF WINE WISDOM.

“When it’s hot—Rosé is hotter! We’re not talking about the sticky-sweet stuff, but a dry, strawberry-scented cool quaff.”

“Store your wines on their sides or upside down.

That way, the cork won’t dry out and you ensure better aging potential for those special wines you’re storing for a special date in the future.”

3| 5|

Blends are beautiful! Be sure to sample blended wines when you’re out wine tasting. Most often, these are wines that have been created by the winemakers for their own tastes.

“Bring a cooler when you go wine tasting in the summer. It will protect your special finds from heat damage (from being in a hot vehicle), since even a short heat burst can harm your wines.”

“Don’t rinse your glass with water during a wine tasting session. It changes the pH in the glass (not for the better!) and adds just enough water to the following wine you’ll taste to make that wine

“The back label tends to tell where the wine has been bottled, but the word ‘estate’ may only be used if 100 percent of the production, growing to bottling, is done on the same estate.”

“If you don’t have a wine cellar or cooler, don’t store bottles in the refrigerator, as this will dry the cork.

Try storing wine between the sheets of your linen closet, as it tends to stay very cool.”

|2

“Instead of expensive spray products to remove wine, buy Barrel Clean from any winemaking supplier. A small amount in hot water will soak away any wine stain better [than the spray products], and for a fraction of the cost.”

“If you enjoy wines from a particular area, look for bottles that have declared that area on the front label, indicating where the grapes are grown. Certain areas have been granted an AVA (American Viticulture Area) designation, because they have demonstrated they have unique growing conditions. Many wineries buy grapes from other areas, so the information regarding the winery may not tell where the grapes are grown.”

“The grapes hanging on the vine right now will make up the 2015 vintage. ‘Vintage’ refers to the year that the grape is harvested.”

“If there’s a year printed on the label, it’s a vintage wine, which means it’s primarily made of grapes grown and harvested from that specific year.”

3|

“When the grapes are on the vine they’re referred to as a ‘variety,’ similar to having different varieties of apples (i.e. Fuji, gala, Granny Smith). A varietal is a wine made from a single specific variety of grape.”

“A wine with ‘estate bottled’ printed on the label means that 100 percent of the wine came from grapes grown or controlled in the same viticulture area and that they were crushed, fermented, aged and bottled on their premises in a continuous process.”

“It’s a common myth that only green grapes are used for white wines, and red grapes are used for reds. Some people are surprised to learn that you can make white wines from red grapes, such as Pinot Noir!”

—Michael Phillips

“On one of our famous Central Valley summer days, stick a bottle of red wine in the fridge for about 45 minutes, just prior to serving it. This allows just enough chill to set in, so the wine can sit out for a while without getting warm and keeps the wine’s flavor profile where it should be, instead of falling flat due to heat.” —Melissa Phillips Stroud

“When ordering wine at a restaurant, the best values are the red blends. This is where the winemaker gets to make their mark showing how the resulting wine is greater than its parts.”

“Use the wine stewards in stores and restaurants—it’s free advice. If you see them regularly, they’ll keep a memory of your likes and dislikes and will lead you to better wine.”

“Decanters aren’t just for expensive red wine—they work great at softening a cheaper Cabernet too and will bring out a lot of fruit in a wine.”

“Unfinished red wine doesn’t need to go into the fridge, unless you know that it will not be finished within 48 hours. If you’re going to finish the bottle the next night, leave it on the counter with a stopper.”

Chef/Owner Steven Long grew up in Sacramento and moved to the bay area as a young adult where he attended the California Culinary Academy, Cheffed at restaurants on the San Francisco Peninsula and was also a Le Cordon Bleu Chef Instructor in San Francisco. When Chef Steven knew he was going to open, he brought gifted Chef and friend Garrick Penn out to Folsom from the East Coast to help run the kitchen.

rench cuisine is celebrated worldwide, but it can often be a little intimidating with its hard-to-pronounce dishes, unusual meats, overwhelming wine lists and “delicacies” like snails. If you’ve ever felt anxious about trying la cuisine française, you’re not alone. Luckily, Café C in El Dorado Hills offers fare that’s approachable and will delight both the discerning connoisseur and the French food neophyte.

The café is tucked back in a cozy corner beneath the behemoth movie theater at the end of Vine Street in Town Center.

Stepping inside is akin to stepping inside a quaint café in southern France, except that Café C includes a full bar as well as a separate private dining space. The ambiance is exceptional, and the front patio is a lovely spot to relax and enjoy their

taste MEATBALLS FROM RAO’S NYC Food52 Genius Recipes: 100 Recipes That Will Change the Way You Cook

by Kristen Miglore (El Dorado Hills native!)

(Ten Speed Press, 2015, $35)

• • • • • • • • •

1 lb. lean ground beef 8 oz. ground veal 8 oz. ground pork 2 large eggs 1 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese 1-1/2 tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1/2 small clove garlic, minced Kosher salt or sea salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs 2 cups lukewarm water 1 cup (good-quality olive oil, for cooking Your favorite marinara sauce Pasta, for serving (optional)

Combine the beef, veal and pork in a large bowl. Add the eggs, cheese, parsley and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, blend the ingredients together. Mix the breadcrumbs into the meat mixture. Slowly add the water, 1 cup at a time, until the mixture is quite moist. (If you want to make sure the seasoning is to your liking, fry off a small test meatball, taste, and adjust.) Shape into 2-1/2 to 3-inch balls.

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan. When the oil is very hot but not smoking, fry the meatballs in batches. When the bottom half of each meatball is very brown and slightly crisp, turn and cook the top half. Remove from the heat and drain on paper towels.

Heat the marinara sauce to simmering. Lower the cooked meatballs into the simmering sauce and cook for 15 minutes. Serve alone or with

dinner date Food and Beer for the Season pasta. Makes about 28 meatballs.

Genius Tip: This recipe works best if you make your own fresh breadcrumbs (that is, grind or grate some stale bread.) In a pinch, if you need to use finer, store-bought breadcrumbs, cut back by half, and don’t use quite as much water. (The full measure of store-bought crumbs would give you something resembling a stiff, mealy dumpling.)

SIERRA NEVADA KELLERWEIS Chico-based Sierra Nevada Brewing Company continues to impress with its portfolio of beers—from year-round selections like their legendary Pale Ale (the second best-selling craft beer in the U.S.) and Hop Hunter IPA, to seasonal specialties like Summerfest and Celebration. Since 1980, before craft was “cool,” they’ve been brewing bold, flavorful beers with pure ingredients, using traditional techniques, attention to detail and innovation. In 2010, the brewery was named “Green Business of the Year” by the United States Environmental Protection Agency for their dedication to sustainability.

Sierra Nevada Kellerweis is a Bavarian-style, unfiltered wheat beer that’s cloudy, golden-yellow in appearance with aromas of clove and banana, and a lively, creamy body. At 4.8-percent ABV, it’s light and slightly sweet, making it a perfect pairing for a heavy dish like this month’s meatballs.

MANAGED MEANS El Dorado Hills 916-834-6169 managedmeans.com

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

As a lifelong learner, and after 25 years as a landscape professional, I see the solar industry being an integral component in shaping how we utilize our current resources and protect future generations by providing clean, affordable energy.

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

We are involved in supporting local little leagues, soccer clubs, Boy Scouts and the chamber of commerce. We strive to present ourselves in a professional manner by giving each customer the undivided attention they deserve and ensuring all of our projects are completed with their satisfaction in mind.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

Knowledge is a powerful tool and Steve Hansen, my general manager, has a solid grasp of how the solar industry works, providing all the necessary information so the customer can make an educated decision.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

I’m proud of how my children have grown up healthy and balanced, learning how they can contribute to better our society. My son, Evan, is an Eagle Scout and currently serving in the U.S. Navy as a petty officer stationed in Europe; my daughter, Audrey, is a sophomore at CSU San Francisco studying to be a physician’s assistant.

If you could meet someone living or dead, who would it be and why?

Ben Franklin. His inquisitive mind and entrepreneurial spirit lives on to this day through all the myriad inventions and accomplishments that identify what it is to be an American.

And finally, customer service is…?

We strive to create a relationship beyond buyer and seller—through consistency and quality of product, we make their solar experience one they will enjoy, so they can refer Solar Universe to others.

Photos by Dante Fontana.

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

Our firm is here to help busy professionals, personal households and/or aging citizens who need bookkeeping services, financial organization, HR or payroll support. We specialize in helping you free up your schedule so that you have time to follow your own passions.

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

My first job was as a teenager at Nestle. It taught me that—if you’re fair to others, work hard and don’t take yourself too seriously in the process—you can be anything you set your mind to.

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

I joined the El Dorado Hills Chamber to get involved with the business community and meet other businesspeople.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

Raising our two sons is first; having a career as a financial controller would be second.

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

My dad taught me work ethics and tenacity, and my mom taught me fairness and sensitivity.

What’s your hidden talent?

Interior design is a secret passion of mine.

What’s your biggest job perk?

Working with clients one-on-one is most satisfying; it allows me to build a relationship while working to help my client.

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

La Bou has both delicious food choices and friendly people.

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

I have a secret desire to be a psychologist, which is probably why I find people fascinating.

And finally, customer service is…?

The reason I wanted to start my own business—it provides me satisfaction by helping others in a more personal environment.

small business buzz The Perks of Buying Local

by Tom Mailey

74 stylefedh.com - September 2015

I’d usually get a triple. The pastry case was stocked daily with muffins, scones and bagels. When my mom was alive, we’d take her there because she loved the lemon bars…LOVED them. Sometimes she’d order two. Hey, when you’re in your 80s, you can do that.

What happened? I’m not sure, but a major coffee chain opened a drivethrough-only stand at the other end of the plaza. I would marvel at the number of cars that would queue up in front of that place, when Pipeline was only another 100 yards away. Did they not know? Was actually getting out of the car that much trouble?

What I do know is, owning a business is tough. A Gallup poll shows 50 percent fail over the first five years. Other polls indicate as many as four out of five small businesses fail within 18 months. No matter how you look at it, it’s daunting.

If you own your own business, my hat’s off to you. You’ve got more courage than me. What’s more, you’re part of

the real engine that drives this country.

Forget headline-grabbing multi-national corporations and dot-com start-up zillionaires: The American economy starts with small businesses. The 2010 census says there were over 27 million small businesses in America, and according to the Washington Post, those with 50 employees or less account for a third of all jobs in this country.

I don’t know where Tim is now, but I hope he and those he employed land on their feet. I hope the kids in those bands find somewhere else to play. And I hope if you’re out looking for coffee today—or anything else for that matter—that you consider visiting a small business first.

They’ll be happy to see you. And they’ll sincerely appreciate your patronage.

M

y favorite coffee place closed down recently. I’d visit Pipeline (which used to be It’s a Grind) two, sometimes three times a week after waking in my usual stupor from the daily nap I take—because getting up at 3:30 a.m. every morning kinda sucks.

But one day this spring, there was a small, handwritten sign on the door saying they were no longer in business. The note was brief, written on a small scrap of paper. There was no explanation, just an apology for the inconvenience and “a sincere thank you” to regular customers for the years of patronage.

Just like that. Done. I peered inside.

The pastry case was empty. Shelves behind the counter were mostly empty, too. Tables and chairs were still there, though, and a newspaper still lay folded on the arm of an old couch by the window.

I knew the owner, Tim, by name but not much more. Over the years we’d made a lot of small talk. He was nice but always busy. He was there a lot. He used to have live music on the patio out front on weekend nights—local artists. Most were young, maybe their first time in a band.

They usually weren’t all that bad. Or good. But Tim was giving them a chance to perform, and if nobody in the coffee house came outside to listen, they had a captive audience whenever the westbound FOR MORE TOM’S TAKES AND... light on Foothill at Pleasant WHAT’S COMING Grove turned red.

NEXT MONTH? Lots of young people DON’T MISS STYLE’S worked there over the “2015 READERS’ years. Some were outgoing CHOICE AWARDS,” and friendly. Some were PLUS MUCH MORE, s hy b u t p o l i te . S o m e VISIT STYLEFEDH.COM were nice but clueless. A handful of them were just clueless. My favorites were the ones who worked there long enough to remember my drink order.

Service was quick, and the iced lattes were good—especially on Fridays, when
