editor’snote

pet shop A

s I was looking through old photos attempting to find a not-too-embarrassing pic of me with one of my childhood dogs, I came to the realization that we had A LOT of pets over the years. Two Pekingese, two or three poodles, a Peekapoo (hmm… wonder how that happened?), two pugs, two or three yellow Labs (poodles and Labs were mainstays), a beagle, a bloodhound, three cats, two to six Chinchilla hamsters (the two started a family), one chameleon, one bearded dragon, at least eight gorgeous saltwater fish…and a partridge in a pear tree. Some might call this a pet shop; we called it home. To be fair, we did live on a big patch of land—the neighbors didn't hate us too much. The embarrassing photo that I ended up going with this month is of our pug, Rambo, and me. You can probably figure out why we called him Rambo with this shot of him in typical form. Looking back, he was likely just showing his disapproval of my not-so-fabulous hair. Thanks Mom and Dad. I digress. Rambo was a riot, had a never-ending supply of personality, loved to climb everything, and was loyal to the end.

After seeing how many photo submissions we received this year for Style’s annual People & Their Pets pictorial spread, it became clear that most of us are very, very fond of our fur family members. It was a daily pleasure to open each new email and instantly smile upon viewing local peeps and their beloved pets. People even sent notes of sentiment for their pet or detailed the memory associated with that particular photo. It was quite endearing, but most of all rewarding, to put together this feature. Smiling is so satisfying and this month will have you full of giggles. Turn the pages to find the area’s cutest celebrity pooches, kitties and more.

Also this month, don’t miss our annual listing of accomplished local authors and their published works in Shelf Life. In the Money department, Bill Romanelli gives you “6 Steps to Reach Your Raise,” if you’re contemplating an inquisition with your boss. Turning to Our Kids, Jenn Thornton helps families not only prepare for packing lunches as schools take session, but also shares practical advice from local professionals for helping kids make smart food choices in “Childhood Obesity: 7 Tips to Trim the Fat.” And for your pet’s health, Margaret Snider opens an old door to a new age of holistic veterinary medicine in “The Whole Pet,” which introduces a more integrative approach to accessing and treating your pet’s health needs as directed by local veterinarians utilizing both Eastern and Western medicine. There are surprising findings that give those with ailing animals more options. Read on!

Until next month, enjoy the pages of Style and the final dog days of summer!

What’s more, she’s the author of Cooking with Mrs. C: At School and a forthcoming volume, Cooking with Mrs. C: Parties and Sleepovers (cookingwithmrsc.com). Her big goal for the near future is to donate the bulk of her books’ profits to school fundraisers, in lieu of the customary candy and junk food sales. Through her books, she hopes to give kids the confidence to get cooking. “When a child takes a book and can go home and prepare a snack or meal, they feel really empowered,” Christensen says.

ran Christensen knows the secret to getting kids to eat their vegetables. In her after-school cooking classes across El Dorado County, she introduces children to the basics of food preparation and discusses the importance of making food look good on the plate.

She then encourages them to try foods they might not have liked in the past. “More times than not, students say something like, ‘I never liked mushrooms before, but I like this!” she shares.

For Christensen, a retired food service broker who has spent much of her life working with food, the most rewarding part of her newfound career is exposing kids to the world of culinary arts while also teaching

desire for a bigger or smaller home, with more or A: The less land, a pool, no stairs or a home closer to family are just some reasons why sellers wish to move. Despite past disappointing home values in our area, there are mechanisms that now make a move possible for many. In this scenario, homeowners can sell their current home at a price that leaves them with little or no proceeds but enables them to buy a replacement property at today’s low prices with the features they want. When coupled with low interest rates and attractive loan programs such as FHA, VA and USDA, the “sell low/ buy low” concept can be a winner for many. The process can be challenging, however, so enlist the help of an experienced mortgage professional and real estate agent in your area. They will have the necessary expertise to make your move a reality.

Most of us consider our pets to be important family members, so it’s no surprise that many pets go on vacation with their families. To ensure a successful trip, plan ahead; research pet-friendly hotels and campsites, plan your route to include frequent stops, pack a first aid kit and always secure your pet with a leash before letting him out of the car. Your pet’s vaccinations should be current, and identification—including a microchip—is essential. In the car, your pet should be restrained in the back seat, either with a specially designed harness or in a secure crate. In the event of an accident, proper restraint will protect him and others in the car. Keep the temperature inside your car cool, never leave him in a parked car, and check with your veterinarian for ways to prevent and treat motion sickness.

Golden Days at Gold Bug Mine

hen gold was discovered on January 24, 1848, just eight miles from where Gold Bug Mine sits today, a new way of life was created in our corner of this great nation. By 1860, hard rock mining began to take form. In 1888, William Craddock filed the Vulture Claim, which eventually had three mines—one of which he called the Hattie, named for his eldest daughter. By 1930, William Meagher, who was the last of several claimants, filed a claim on the entire 62 acres and five claims that compromised Gold Bug Park. He also built a home at the end of Gold Bug Lane as a summer destination for his family.

In 1966, the Bureau of Land Management reclaimed the mine and surrounding land and leased it to the City of Placerville as a recreational area. In 1980, Hangtown’s Gold Bug Park Development Committee was formed to protect and defend the property for public use. The City of Placerville is now the only municipality to own a mine in California.

Gold Bug Park and Mine can be enjoyed seven days a week, April through October (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and on weekends November through March (noon to 4 p.m.).

Step back into the 1800s with an audio tour that guides you into the 352-foot drift.

Don’t forget to bring your picnic lunch and enjoy the park’s picturesque trails.

After lunch, walk up the hill to experience the Miner’s Blacksmith Shop and Hendy Stamp Mill. Before heading home, duck into Hattie’s Gift Shop and Museum to get the full Gold Bug Park and Mine experience.

Train Station Coffee Shop

C

alling all breakfast lovers! Step back into the 1960s for that small-town feeling of good food and family at the longstanding Train Station Coffee Shop. For 35 years, they’ve been boundlessly building relationships in their inviting, blue-collar atmosphere. Walking in, I felt a surge of energy and comfort in the homey environment.

With such a great menu, I was glad my love for avocados directed my attention to the Chicken Fajita Omelet. The huge portion included chicken, onions and green peppers in an egg blanket that was topped with sour cream, salsa and mouthwatering avocado slices—all served alongside crispy potatoes and toast. As for the hot, endless coffee? Well, let’s just say they really know how to satisfy addictions. It’s far from your average American diner in that, although the food is undeniably flavorsome, the décor (think train stationmeets-record store) kept my eyes wandering with interest and a good laugh every so often. At Train Station, they’ve embraced the act of serving a hearty breakfast or lunch with pleasure—making every customer want to hop on as part of the family. All aboard!

“Frosted Cocoa Rose” glass beads

10 and 20 beads per session.

Once formed, the bead goes into a kiln at 940 degrees Fahrenheit. “When I’m done for the day and the last bead goes in, I ramp down the kiln a little at a time before completely shutting it off. This is part of the annealing process, which is important in keeping the beads durable and strong.” Since it takes several hours for the beads to cool, she’ll typically wait until the next morning to take them out of the kiln.

Following the lead of other “handmade” artists, Dodd has relied on the success of Esty to market and sell her pieces.

“It has grown so much in the past few years,” she says. “Listing my beads is simple on their site, and I especially like all the other ‘beaders’ and crafters I’ve connected with.” Dodd’s beads are typically sold loose in sets of five and 10, and purchased by those looking to make jewelry pieces of their own.

If she could pick just one of her favorite beads to make, it would be the “pillow”-shaped ones. “They have a nice sleek rectangular shape that everyone likes,” she notes. “They are not too big or too small and they lay flat...a nice size for bracelets, earrings or any other type of beading project.“

’ve always loved beads and beading,” says Anne Dodd, a local lampwork glass bead artist and owner of Spare Time Designs. Although she started off making polymer clay beads, she admits to having a strong desire to work with glass. “I purchased a set of lampwork glass beads on eBay, and thought to myself, ‘I would sure like to be able to make these beauties myself...so why can’t I? What’s stopping me?’”

She researched the industry and found a local glass supplier in her area, Arrow Springs, that offered classes. After completing a two-day course in 2005, she bought all of the necessary glass, tools and supplies needed to make the transition. “From then on I was hooked and have never looked back,” she shares.

What is it about lampwork beads that attracted the artist? “I love the ‘glass’ aspect of lampwork beads,” she says. “Taking a single rod of colored glass and melting and forming it into a beautiful bead is what makes it so special.” Dodd adds her own designs and color to each bead, experimenting and fashioning new creations. “The possibilities are endless,” she says. “Every day I’m still learning and continuing to stumble on new ideas and designs.”

Dodd begins each process using a torch to heat the tip of a 12-inch rod of glass. Once the glass becomes molten, she winds it around a metal mandrel to start forming the bead.

“I sometimes use a press to shape the bead or sometimes just go free-form,” she adds.

As the process continues, several other colors of glass, frit (crushed glass) and silver foil are added to create the elaborate designs. A bead can take anywhere from five to 30 minutes to complete depending on its size; Dodd usually makes between

check yourself Unlocking Clues to Your Health

by Kristen Castillo

Y

ou exercise, eat right and take your vitamins, so you must be healthy, right? Maybe, but maybe not. Look in the mirror for signs your body needs a health overhaul.

SKIN What you see: Dry, flaky skin What it might mean: You’re using harsh products and bathing in water that’s too hot

“Modification of habits will usually take care of the problem,” says Dr. Seema Maple, who practices family medicine with Sutter Medical Group, noting it’s good to use products meant for sensitive skin and avoid scented detergents and dryer sheets. Other possible dry skin culprits include conditions that require additional treatment, such as eczema or psoriasis, blood pressure medications, and hormonal changes due to menopause. Good nutrition can help, too. Dr. Maple advises eating foods rich in vitamin A, as well as omega-3 and omega-6, including fish, whole grains, flax seeds and walnuts.

EYES What you see: Bloodshot eyes What it might mean: Allergies or pinkeye “There are many potential causes of bloodshot eyes,” says Dr. Jennifer Li, an assistant professor at UC Davis Eye Center. “These range from relatively minor things such as allergies or dry eyes, to severe diseases of the immune

system. The key is to know when [it’s] important to have your eyes examined by an ophthalmologist.” With allergies, you may have dry eyes or mild irritation, as well as itchiness or a feeling of having sand in your eyes; Dr. Li suggests using over-the-counter artificial tears. You might have viral conjunctivitis, a.k.a. pinkeye, if your eyes seem bloodshot “with significant discharge or mucus.” Dr. Li says pinkeye frequently gets better on its own but advises that it’s “important to practice good hand hygiene and avoid touching the eyes to prevent the spread of disease to others.” Go to an eye doctor right away to prevent long-term damage. If you have severely red eyes accompanied by pain, light sensitivity or a decrease in vision.

HAIR What you see: Noticeable hair loss What it might mean: Hormone changes, thyroid problems, or a dieting side effect

“We lose 50 to 100 hairs daily,” Dr. Maple says. “That is normal.” If you’re losing hair in clumps, have scalp redness or itching, see your doctor. Hair loss typically occurs in women about four to six months after childbirth and again during menopause.

Hair that normally would have been lost during pregnancy stays with women and may seem to shed excessively in the months after giving birth. Other potential reasons for hair loss include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid disease. Dr. Maple also says crash dieting can result in hair loss. Women lose hair all over the scalp, while men generally get a receding hairline. Volumizing treatments and Rogaine—which, according to Dr. Maple, results in new hair growth in a quarter of the patients who use the product—can be helpful.

TONGUE What you see: A swollen, irritated tongue

What it might mean: Cold or an allergy

You probably don’t check out your tongue all the time but if it’s swollen, you need to pay attention to what’s going on. “It’s common to have mild swelling of the tongue with some colds,” says Dr. Maple, who explains rapid tongue swelling could indicate a serious allergy. Other mouth issues to consider include a coating on your tongue and halitosis. “A coating on the tongue could be from medication or germs in the mouth,” Dr. Maple says. “Brushing the tongue is helpful to control bad breath.”

childhood obesity 7 Tips for Trimming the Fat

by Jenn Thornton

1. SET THE EXAMPLE “Early on, children learn behaviors and attitudes about food and health from their parents,” Carlson says. “Even without realizing it a parent may [invite] a child to ignore their own hunger cues by encouraging them to finish a bottle or the food on their plate.” So, be a good role model (eat well and exercise) and avoid mindless grazing.

4. GARDEN

7. SKIP THE DRIVE-THRU

If the greens scene at your place is not exactly flourishing, invest in a few containers and watch your little ones cultivate an interest in homegrown goodness—and a better relationship with food from the ground up. Arrange visits to local farms and U-pick orchards and kick up the creativity quotient at the store by playing “Name That Fruit” (you purchase, they prepare) and at home with “Veggie Iron Chef”—the most creative recipe wins.

“While family meals around the table are considered the cornerstone of good health, fast food has become a way of life for many busy families,” Carlson admits.

With the end goal to bypass the drive-thru for good, start with compromise: Fast food twice a month, with Mom deciding the where and what. Schedule these visits in advance and scout the best options with the healthiest meal plans. Seek out kid-sized portions and nutritious substitutions, and avoid sodas (bring full water bottles with H2O or zero-calorie fruit water from home).

5. SCHEDULE SNACKS

“Moving” sounds more appealing than “exercising” to fitness-adverse kids. Find fresh ways to boost family fitness without labeling it. Plan an after-dinner stroll and forage for blackberries to top off frozen Greek yogurt for dessert, or put your kids’ video-game obsession (and the Wii) to good use and join them in dancing off dinner with the help of games like Just Dance.

“If kids are allowed to free graze and fill up on processed snacks and juice during the day they will be too full and have little desire to try healthful choices at mealtimes,” says Carlson, adding that a meal and snack schedule allows parents to control food choices and amount.

“Chances are they will be more willing to try new foods when they don’t compete with go-to snacks.”

3. GET COOKIN‘

6. AVOID LABELING

If you want your little sugar fiends to favor healthier fare, enlist their help in preparing it. Start with lunch. From ingredients you provide (with at least one healthier version of something they love in the mix), put them “in charge” of packing. But, adds Carlson, “Make sure your child gets a variety of whole grains, fruit, veggies and lean protein choices to keep them fueled for the day while avoiding the temptation to reach for convenience snacks.” Graduate to bigger meals.

Tagging foods as good or bad “can make poor choices even more attractive by eliciting a desire for the forbidden,” Carlson warns. But, when tasting new foods is presented as an “adventure,” kids are more apt to explore other options, especially when taste, color, texture and variety are touted.

2. CHANGE THE CONVERSATION

Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, approximately 1 in 88 children has been identified as having an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and although ASDs occur in all racial, ethnic and socioeconomic groups, they are nearly five times more common among boys than girls. Additionally, the CDC reports that medical expenditures for those with an ASD are up to 6.2 times greater than for those without an ASD.

and says it has been “a beacon of light” for her family, which includes two children on the autism spectrum. “I have never met so many friendly people who are willing to sacrifice their time [and] effort and give so freely of their knowledge to help others,” she says. “I feel understood and supported by families and friends who have joined this great organization. It is great to meet others and make friends with those who have similar struggles, dreams and wishes for their children.”

“As the years have progressed, I have had families tell me that if it were not for FEAT they would not have known the many options and avenues their children could have taken,” adds Mariscal. “Personally, my son is now 19 and getting ready for college. The road ahead is still filled with many unseen troubles, as well as adventures, and knowing that FEAT is there to help makes life that much easier to manage.”

hen Connie Mariscal’s son was diagnosed with autism in 1998, the complex range of developmental disorders within the autism spectrum remained largely mysterious. “A diagnosis back [then] brought little to no assistance,” she explains. “Implementing a scientifically based program to help my son achieve his best outcome was the only way that I could help him.”

That same year, Mariscal began donating her time to Families for Early Autism Treatment (FEAT), a Sacramento-based nonprofit dedicated to providing valuable resources and information to families touched by autism. Through a combination of mentorship and monthly support meetings, social and recreational events, and fundraising, FEAT serves hundreds of local children and their families annually.

“My personal goal and mission,” Mariscal says, “has always been to not have one more mother, father or family shed a single tear as a result of not receiving proper assistance or intervention [and] treatment for their child.”

Founded in 1993 by parents and treatment professionals, FEAT’s founding members began with a goal of improving early autism intervention services in the Sacramento area. Through a combination of grants and fundraising, they were eventually able to provide intensive early intervention training to both parents and local health care professionals with the help of therapists from the UCLA Clinic for the Behavioral Treatment of Children.

“FEAT is the only organization that is with families…in their school, regional center, social security, or any other agency meeting,” Mariscal explains. “We guide parents through every process personally and professionally.”

pay up 6 Steps to Reach Your Raise

by Bill Romanelli

A

sking the boss for a raise is never easy, no matter how well it’s deserved. Two experts on employment and career advancement have some helpful advice. Laura MasonSmith is an executive coach and president of Mason-Smith Success Strategies, and Cindy Coelho-Bunker is president of River City Staffing Group and serves on the board of the Sacramento Area Human Resource Association. Together they offer six tips that will make asking for a raise easier, and could increase your chances of success.

1. BE PREPARED, THINK “RESULTS” AND NOTE “PROGRESS” Simply being at the company for a long period of time or having a list of completed tasks doesn’t cut it. Go beyond what you’ve done, and explain what the results of those activities were. Provide hard facts and numbers that show how the work you’ve done helps the company meet its objectives, makes it better, more profitable, more productive and/or a better place to work. It’s best to keep a journal of these accomplishments over several months, as bosses typically only remember the last few weeks.

Best of all, deliver the achievements in writing—professionally organized and presented.

2. TIMING IS EVERYTHING

3. GO IN KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT, BASED ON RESEARCH With so many job boards and professional associations out there, there are numerous resources available to determine what someone in your job position, with your experience and in your market, should be earning. If you’re below this level, that serves as a good guide for how much of an increase to seek. If you’re above this level, you can save yourself embarrassment and disappointment— before inspiring your boss to do this research themselves.

32 stylemg.com - August 2013

4. DON’T LET YOUR REQUEST LANGUISH You probably won’t get an answer at the meeting or even that same day. It’s OK while meeting with your boss to say you understand they probably need some time to think about it, and set another appointment in a few days.

5. AVOID ULTIMATUMS UNLESS YOU’RE REALLY WILLING TO WALK AWAY All an ultimatum does is give your boss a reason to wonder why they should give you more money when you are thinking about leaving anyway.

6. BE CREATIVE AND WILLING TO COMPROMISE The actual dollar amount you want may not be feasible, but there are many different kinds of compensation. More paid time off, a private parking space, telecommuting once a week, or a spot bonus are just a few of the non-salary ways in which your good work can be recognized.

Don’t ask for a raise after the company has undergone layoffs or salary cuts, lost a big piece of business, or has already finalized its budget for the next fiscal year. Equally important, don’t ambush your boss. It’s best to schedule 15 minutes on their calendar (you don’t need to list “raise” as the subject). Pick a time of day when they are generally more relaxed and not busy, and schedule time early in the week so they can consider your request before the weekend.

llen Wilson arrived in Coloma in 1850. One story brings her as the young bride of a gold seeker who later abandoned her; another brings her as a seasoned madam. In either case, by mid 1850, she had settled into a newly constructed, two-story, seven-bedroom house on the west end of town near Sutter’s sawmill.

The establishment—she called the “Lone Star of Texas,” which earned her the moniker “Texas Ellen”— was one of the most elegant in the Central Mines.

Wilson had a bartender, a cook and five girls working for her.

The house changed hands a couple of times, but the new owners never saw a need to evict her. Edward McCabe, the third owner, deeded the property to Wilson as he lay on his deathbed. For one month, she owned her house; however, McCabe recovered and filed a deed of revocation annulling his gift.

Wilson was known for her generosity. She provided board for miners, and was always ready to jump on her horse to minister to the sick. She even grubstaked miners down on their luck, never expecting to be repaid. In 1852 and 1853, cholera and small pox raged through Coloma.

Wilson closed her business and opened

Unfortunately, he missed and killed her.

Women in Wilson’s profession were usually buried outside the Christian cemetery, but because of Wilson’s kindness during the epidemic, an exception was made. At her funeral, “a sermon was preached and a number of persons followed her remains to the grave” in the southeast corner of the Pioneer Cemetery on Cold Springs Road. For more than 100 years, her grave was unmarked. Thirty years after her death, a miner named John S. Covington was buried in the same place, and his headstone marked both graves. In 1975, researchers determined the site of Wilson’s grave and gave her a headstone.

Nearly 120 years after her death, Wilson again haunted Coloma. In 1975, the Coloma-Lotus Booster Club chose to honor “Ladies of the Gold Discovery Era,” particularly Wilson, at the annual Gold Discovery Day. Two noted madams were invited to lead the parade, but the ensuing uproar prompted the boosters to withdraw the invitation. The celebration, however, still honored Wilson with the Olde Coloma Theatre’s melodrama of She Was Only a Child of Misfortune or She Left Her Home for a House.

by Jerrie Beard the house as a hospital. At a time when many miners were living in canvas tents, Wilson provided a warm, dry place to recover—or perhaps die.

When the epidemic subsided, Wilson resumed her business. However, on March 16, 1855, a paragraph in the local paper noted the “unintentional killing” of Wilson.

According to the article, a quarrel occurred between three or four vagabonds.

Several shots were fired, “one of which took affect in the breast of Ellen Wilson.”

A romanticized version puts the pistol in the hands of a man named York who was infatuated with Wilson. He became enraged when he saw her dancing with another and tried to shoot his competition.

7 Organization Tips & Tricks

hen you have a place for everything and your home is primed to effectively support common activities and tasks—from dealing with mail, bills and memorabilia, to gifting, cleaning and more—it’s as if a little weight is lifted from your shoulders. Making small changes can create efficiency in your day-to-day activities and make your home a calm refuge.

1. START WITH YOUR CLOSET. Once you have your clothes edited down to those you actually wear and love, it’s time to think about how to organize what’s left. Take a few tips from posh clothing boutiques: Put together a favorite outfit on a single hanger where you can easily grab it on a rushed morning.

Consider keeping off-season clothes out of sight so there’s room to artfully display bags and shoes on shelves. You can even display favorite jewelry on stands or hand sculptures.

36 stylemg.com - August 2013

2 . STO R E M E D I C I N E I N A LABELED BOX. The medicine cabinet is actually one of the worst places to store medications; the warm, damp conditions can damage sensitive ingredients, and the bottles and tubes tend to clutter up what should ideally be a spot for getting ready.

Instead, transfer medicines and first-aid supplies to labeled storage boxes with lids, and keep them on a high shelf in the kitchen or pantry. Sort them in a way that makes sense and label accordingly (Kids, First Aid, Cold & Flu).

3. BE PREPARED FOR BIRTHDAYS AND LAST-MINUTE EVENTS by keeping a yearly birthday calendar taped to the inside of a door, a basket filled with easy gifts bought in bulk (and an assortment of cards), as well as a few candles and banners for an instant party scene.

Consider choosing a “signature” giftwrap and ribbon for your house and wrap all of your gifts with it, no matter the occasion.

to tackle an undesirable chore like cleaning the bathroom when the supplies you need are at hand. Store a second set of bathroom-specific products and tools in the cabinet under the bathroom sink, or in a lidded basket on a shelf.

6. PRE-SORT YOUR INCOMING MAIL. Rather than putting it all in one big tray or pile, place magazines, catalogs and other things you’d like to peruse in a magazine file; bills to pay go in a bill basket; personal correspondence goes in a toast rack or on a pretty tray; notices for upcoming events and items to file can go in another magazine file or a folder.

7. USE PHOTOS AS LABELS. Try snapping a photo of the contents of a box before storing it in the garage or basement, and then use that photo to label the outside. A quick glance at the photo and you’ll instantly know what’s inside.

whole pet Ancient Wisdom for a New Age

by Margaret Snider

The American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association lists 27 modalities in its brochure (including the two above), as well as clinical nutrition, laser therapy, homeopathy and chiropractics. Number 28 says, “Others as they come to our attention,” and opens up the list even more.

Some of these modalities have been found effective when tested in a scientific manner; others may show no evidence attesting to their value.

INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE AT UC DAVIS The University of California, Davis, Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital is known globally. Recently, it opened a new Integrative Medicine Service. Although the hospital treats mostly patients from the Davis/Sacramento area, others come from all parts of the country—and even worldwide.

Acupuncture, the insertion of thin needles into certain points in the skin, is an ancient treatment originating in China so long ago that the time period is uncertain. Other holistic methodologies are more recent, such as reiki, a Japanese spiritual practice developed in 1922.

“This Integrative Medicine Service will start with disciplines like acupuncture,” says Dr. Marilyn Koski of UC Davis, who is among the clinical faculty of that service. “We also offer veterinary physical rehabilitation, which includes muscle and joint mobility work, exercise, range-

of-motion therapy, underwater treadmill, and low-level laser therapy. We hope to expand to offer other therapies like geriatric pain management, herbal medicine, chiropractic and hospice care.”

Koski, a doctor of veterinary medi-

cine (DVM) and certified veterinary acupuncturist (CVA), has been in private practice for 20 years, treating dogs, cats and exotic species with both Western medicine and acupuncture. For 11 years she taught in the Companion Avian Exotic Pet Medicine Service, a service that August 2013 - stylemg.com 43

treats pet birds, reptiles, fish, rabbits and rodent species. She has used acupuncture in treating dogs, cats, lizards, rabbits, tortoises, birds and exotic species—any pet animal, she says.

“Alternative, holistic, Eastern and complementary medicine are some of the many terms used to describe a wide array of disciplines,” Koski says. “I like to refer to acupuncture as a complementary medicine or integrative medicine, because I like to use it in addition to, or integrating it into a Western therapy.” Holistic generally means treating the whole patient, rather than only a localized problem. Acupuncture, she says, is certainly one way to do that.

A number of years ago, Koski was actually a skeptic about the efficacy of acupuncture. She worked for a wild animal park in Hong Kong and her colleagues, though educated in England and Australia, were Chinese veterinarians and incorporated acupuncture into their Western treatments. “I would see their patients respond and improve more quickly,” Koski says. “They would be eating sooner after surgery, they would be walking more comfortably, they would be using less pain medication. So it started to pique my interest.”

At that time Koski suffered from severe migraine headaches, and her colleagues suggested she try acupuncture for the problem. “I wanted to be gracious to my colleagues and my hosts, and I went for acupuncture three times,” Koski says. “I never suffered from [a] migraine again, and that’s when I decided I needed to learn more about this.”

INCREASING ACCEPTANCE UC Davis is not alone in offering integrative treatments. Many veterinarians have found acupuncture and other holistic

“My whole push behind this is to help people who’ve recently adopted or rescued an animal to connect with their new pet and the animal to connect with them.”

modalities to be useful.

Alternative veterinary services are becoming both more popular and more available. Dean Bader, DVM, of Shingle Springs Veterinary Clinic, for example,

says that 50 to 60 percent of his clients wish to use some aspect of alternative care as a complement to traditional care.

“I’ve always been interested in treating animals nutritionally, because I knew there was a need,” Bader says. He uses, among other diagnostic and treatment tools, applied kinesiology, therapeutic laser and homeopathic medicine, and he trained in acupuncture for animals at Colorado State University. He also treats animals with a Skenar device that stimulates acupuncture points.

A number of years ago, Jodi Van Tine, DVM, MA, CVA, CVCVHM, of Folsom Veterinary Hospital found that herbal medicines and a change of diet made a huge difference when her dog, Bailey, underwent major abdominal surgery for cancer. As she explored Eastern medicine, Van Tine discovered that acupuncture, food therapy and Chinese herbal medicine complement each other, creating a triad of treatment modalities.

Acupuncture pinpoints collections of immune cells, nerve cells and blood vessels in the shallower parts of the body that connect to specific internal parts of the body via the spinal cord. “One of the things that I like about it [is] it’s a lot more intuitive and more complicated, and intellectually more stimulating,” Van Tine says.

“When you get into internal medicine, Eastern medicine is more multidimensional than Western.”

Van Tine has been practicing acupuncture since 2006. “The really beneficial thing about Chinese medicine is you can detect changes before critical

disease develops,” she says. “You can restore patients to a more healthy state so that they don’t develop the disease either as severely or as quickly—or, potentially, if all goes well, ever.”

Pets can also benefit from massage. Certified Massage Therapist Tilisa May gives massage therapy to people at The Healing Light Institute in Auburn. Though she started out giving massage just to people, says May, “at the same time I’m volunteering and very actively involved in animal rescue here in the Auburn area and Placer County.”

She also periodically offers a class to the public—Introduction to Pet Massage. “My whole push behind this is to help people who’ve recently adopted or rescued an animal to connect with their new pet and for the animal to connect with them,” May shares. She says that massage can also be beneficial to aging pets. “As we get older and age, our joints get stiff, our muscles get stiff and we just don’t move around as much as we used to; massage really helps that, in people as well as animals.”

THE VETERINARIAN’S OATH The mission for all therapies utilized to better the welfare of the animals treated, as stated in the Veterinarian’s Oath, adopted in 1969 and last amended in 2010, by the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Vet with cat photo © dmitrimaruta/fotolia.com.

It reads: Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health and welfare, the prevention and relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge.

I will practice my profession, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics. I accept as a lifelong obligation the continual improvement of my professional knowledge and competence.

While holistic remedies may be disparaged by some as exotic or bizarre, it would be the rare veterinarian who did not try to live up to the oath, whether he or she is labeled holistic, integrative, Western, traditional, alternative or anything else.

Vietnamese Skirt Steak with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Asian Slaw

Heyday Café I A Popular Place for Food with Glory

by Jennifer Resnicke Photography by Dante Fontana

The menu is fine dining enough to impress, without being so haughty that you find yourself struggling to pronounce the offerings.

50 stylemg.com - August 2013

n case you needed yet another reason to visit the nostalgic streets of downtown Placerville, there’s Heyday Café—an enticing eatery boasting smiling sunflowers in its window boxes and an American-chicmeets-hip wine bar ambiance inside.

When my husband and I arrived on a busy Friday night, we picked our spot by an exposed vintage brick wall. The steel fans and track lighting modernize the otherwise rustic dining room; its remaining walls are splashed with a warm yellow.

The menu is fine dining enough to impress, without being so haughty that you find yourself struggling to pronounce

Yuzu Citrus Ahi Tuna

the offerings. A delightful truffle gnocchi with cherry tomatoes and basil is a great example of the cafe’s upscale tweaks on familiar dishes. We ordered off of the winter/spring menu, but the summer menu debuted mid-June and features the same balance of freshness and decadence. I especially want to return for the Yuzu Citrus Ahi Tuna appetizer—stacked with avocado, Fresno chiles and microgreens We moved onto our entrées (happily our waiter avoided the inevitably awkward “what should I do with my fork” moment between courses by bringing fresh cutlery), and my crab linguine with mint and

basil was remarkably clean and refreshing.

Providing a lively red color and tasty spark was a Fresno chili pepper, which had a slow enough heat to not overpower the subtle flavors of the crab, but kicked in enough at the end to cut the richness of the sauce.

My husband went for the filet mignon with an espresso-chili compound butter (more subtle than it sounds), accompanied by seasonal vegetables and mashed red potatoes. The steak was melt-in-yourmouth delectable and though you may want to slather the meat with that butter, we suggest saving some for your mashed potatoes. The summer menu’s Vietnamese

Skirt Steak offering, served alongside Asian slaw and garlic mashed potatoes, looks equally as praiseworthy.

From the dessert menu (which also features Port and coffees), we had a rich chocolate brownie served with vanilla gelato and a homemade fudge that gives chocolate shops a run for their money.

With an ample wine selection, vibrant appetizers and entrées and indulgent desserts, this may just be our new go-to date place (and our new “just because place”).

kanpai sushi A Fresh Face in Folsom’s Sea

by Patrick Carter Photography by Dante Fontana

Kanpai Roll

Fireball

M

y first impression of new sushi restaurants is always based on a particular menu item. Raw fish, you ask? Well, no, it’s actually fried fish—soft-shell crab to be exact. When fresh and cooked correctly, soft-shell crab is the eighth wonder of the world, and Kanpai’s creation scored remarkably. It was served perfectly—lightly breaded, deep-fried and paired with ponzu for dipping. In a word: incrediblydelicious. (Yes, it deserves its own new word to describe it!)

After departing soft-shell-crab heaven, we moved on to another appetizer, the Fireball, which featured spicy tuna, cream cheese and jalapeños, all stuffed inside inari, then fried with panko and served with teriyaki sauce and spicy mayo. It was so stunningly delicious we ordered a second.

We decided to go unconventional on the rolls: chicken and veggies.

“Chicken?” you inquire with an incredulous look? Yes, chicken. The first that we ordered was the aptly named Colonel Sanders—a mix of fried chicken, teriyaki sauce, spicy mayo and green onions.

For the veggie selection, we went with

After departing softshell-crab heaven, we moved on to another appetizer, the Fireball… it was so stunningly delicious we ordered a second. the Vegi-Ten—tempura yam, carrot and zucchini with sliced avocado, teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds. Once again, we were impressed.

I also decided to go for a standard

Tekka Maki Tuna roll. Firm and delicate— without being too fishy or too plain—it was obviously an excellent piece of fish, which speaks volumes about Kanpai’s chef and his ability to choose and buy fish—a job criterion that’s fundamentally important to the success of a sushi restaurant.

In addition to the food, the beer was served very cold—just how I like it—and the wine selection was also good with no surprises. While we didn’t partake in any sake drinking, the bases seemed covered quite well with their offerings.

The real question is, “Did Folsom really need another sushi restaurant?” My head was leaning toward no, but after this encounter, my eyes and taste buds were immediately moved to—yes!

• All-purpose flour, for dusting • 2 lbs. store-bought fresh pizza dough, room temperature • Vegetable oil, for brushing • 12 oz. aged Manchego, Parmesan or Pecorino • 2 pears (about), halved, cored, very thinly sliced • 2/3 cup walnut pieces, coarsely broken • Freshly cracked black pepper • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

dinner date Food and Wine for the Season MOHUA SAUVIGNON BLANC 2012 The Mohua label comes from Peregrine Winery, which is passionate about the conservation of birdlife in New Zealand—so much so that part of their proceeds goes toward the cause. The wine’s moniker comes from the bird of the same name, mohua, which is small, colorful and only found on New Zealand’s South Island.

Mohua Sauvignon Blanc 2012 is a super juicy, classic Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand, an area currently making some of the best wines in the world. They’re especially known for their Sauvignon Blancs, which are distinctively different from Napa-style ones and Pinot Noirs. This particular wine is full of lime and citrus flavors, and if you’ve ever had a gooseberry (a fruit often mentioned with great New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, but rarely seen in this area), you’ll recognize its flavor all over the palate. This particular bottle pairs nicely with summer foods— especially grilled pizza with pears, pecorino and walnuts—and is also perfect to sip. The screw cap makes it even easier to enjoy a glass on the patio…before enjoying more with dinner! If you have a chance, buy some Mohua; at approximately $13 a bottle, it’s a lot of wine for the price.

—Richard Righton Owner, Bidwell Street Bistro in Folsom

Build a medium-hot/medium-low, twozone fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Sprinkle two rimless baking sheets with flour. Divide dough into two equal pieces; roll out each piece on a floured work surface to a 15-inch round.

Transfer to prepared baking sheets.

Brush grill grate with oil. Place one dough round on grate on hotter side of grill and cook until lightly charred and no longer sticking, 2-3 minutes. Using tongs, turn dough over and grill until cooked through, 1-2 minutes longer. Using a spatula, transfer crust to rimless baking sheet. Repeat with second dough round. If using a gas grill, reduce heat to medium.

Thinly slice cheese; arrange atop crusts, leaving a 1/2-inch plain border. Cover cheese with a single layer of pear slices (there may be some pear left over), and then scatter walnuts over top.

Working one at a time, slide pizzas from baking sheets onto cooler part of grill. Cover grill and cook pizzas until cheese softens and bottoms are crisp, 4-5 minutes. Transfer pizzas to work surface. Season with pepper; drizzle with oil. Makes two 15-inch pizzas.

carmel Tickle Your Fancy

by Brenna McGowan

I

f you live in northern California, and perhaps anywhere in the U.S., you’ve heard that Carmel is a must-see destination. With world-renowned golf courses just miles away, 17-Mile Drive, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and many more hot spots, Carmel (also known as Carmel-By-The-Sea) has much to offer…even more than I originally thought. Read on for some lesser known Carmel trivia and hidden gems not to be missed.

CELEBRITY CITY

Hofsas House

From 1986-1988, Clint Eastwood served as mayor of this beach community. Appointed with 72.5 percent of the vote, this election brought out twice the amount of voters of typical Carmel elections.

Why did a successful celebrity want to be mayor? He was tired of the bureaucracy and red tape of local city government when he was trying to construct a small building in downtown Carmel and decided, “‘Bout time this town had a new sheriff” (that’s for all you Eastwood buffs). He only served one term before returning to his acting career. Locals told us Eastwood still resides in Carmel and is often seen around town!

BRING FIDO…AND THE FAMILY Did you know Carmel is super dog-friendly? Yes, when you visit this upscale locale you don’t have to leave your pooch at home. You can thank celebrity Doris Day, who’s currently part owner of the Cypress Inn, for being instrumental in Carmel hotels allowing guests to bring their dogs. There are many pet-friendly hotels in the area, but one of our favorites is the Hofsas House. This quaint Bavarian-themed hotel is family run and allows pets in certain rooms. Have human family members to bring along? The Hofsas House can accommodate your whole clan, thanks to their family suites, which boast amenities like a full kitchen and—in select suites—private decks with gorgeous ocean views. The heated pool will keep the little (and big) ones occupied, too.

Carmel Beach

Delores Street

Tapas at Mundaka

DID YOU KNOW? Lincoln Street Pealla at Fandango

Not only can you take a leisurely stroll down to the beautiful Carmel Beach, but booze and pets are permitted, too. Yes, not only are Carmel beaches dog friendly but alcoholfriendly as well. Stop by Salumeria Luca Italian Deli & Bakery and pick up a picnic lunch, then head down to the beautiful ocean and one-mile beachfront. Just remember: Going down to the beach is much easier than the trip back up!

If you’re the heel-wearing type, be forewarned that wearing heels exceeding certain heights is illegal in the one square mile known as Carmel-By-The-Sea. Yep, that is not a typo—it is illegal to wear high heels! To avoid lawsuits because of cobblestone and uneven sidewalks, the city put a ban on heels. No worries, though—simply apply for a permit from city hall and carry it with you while you stroll the streets, heels in tow.

When you pull up your hotel’s address on Google don’t think it’s a mistake that you’re not given a numbered street address; Carmel-By-The-Sea does not have numbered street addresses, which can make it very interesting trying to find your destination.

Delores Street and Lincoln Street courtesy of carmelcalifornia.com. Tapas at Mundaka by Gabriel Georis.

Pealla at Fandango courtesy of respective organization. Holman Ranch tasting room by Scott Campbell; Holman Ranch Vineyard by Kyle Chesser.

A FOODIE’S FEAST Once you find your hotel and get settled, you can walk to several local yummy restaurants.

Looking for something different? Try Mundaka, a local Spanish-style tapas restaurant, which serves their dishes a-la-carte so you can try a myriad of delicious, authentic food.

If you’re looking for something a little more traditional, make the quick—and well worth it—drive over to Pacific Grove’s Fandango Restaurant. Offering Mediterranean- and European-style cuisine, Fandango’s extensive wine list is one of the largest in the world.

The Carmel Food Tour was our absolute favorite part of the trip. Be sure to take this walking tour at the beginning of your stay—so you can make note of the places to return to before your trip’s end. Most importantly, make sure to go hungry and buy your tickets online in advance. The tour is full of amazing food paired with local wines…in other words—it sells out fast.

THE VALLEY AND VINO

Holman Ranch tasting room Holman Ranch Vineyard

A few minutes away from Carmel-By-The-Sea is Carmel Valley flowing with award-winning wine. One not to be missed is Holman Ranch’s Estate Grown Pinot Noir. You can visit the ranch’s tasting room, along with other local wineries’ tasting rooms, in Carmel Valley.

Holman Ranch also rents out their private estate for events, such as weddings, family reunions, group meetings and corporate retreats. This beautiful ranch offers amenities such as a pool, fitness center, and on-site guest rooms, not to mention the beautiful gardens and Carriage House. We were pleased to learn that no matter what event Holman Ranch is hosting, they will only hold one at a time, making your event even more special.

Whether you’re a foodie, wine connoisseur, golf lover, the travel-with-your-dog type, or a beach bum, Carmel is sure to tickle your fancy.

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

A little of both. I’ve always been good at keeping an organized home; when a friend asked for my help, I realized that not everyone is good at keeping his or her home running smoothly with as little effort as possible. Things pile up, tasks get pushed aside or forgotten, and the next thing you know you can’t even focus because you have so many unfinished tasks and don’t know where to begin. That’s where I come in! My good friend, Melanie, helped me come up with the business name. The hourglass represents time slipping away. My hope is that I can help regular people spend quality time doing what they love, instead of managing their mess at home, putting off tasks or feeling overwhelmed. I also feel health is hugely important and find that people neglect their health or don’t make it a priority. I’m thrilled that I’ve also added the benefit of great health to my clients, by becoming involved with Visi, a line of health, wellness and anti-aging products. It will be the best thing I can offer my clients to achieve great health. After all, who doesn’t want the best anti-aging products on the market today?

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

My two amazing daughters (ages 11 and 15) who make me proud to say I’m their mother. They are wise beyond their years.

What’s your biggest job perk?

I get to make my own hours and be available to my children when they need me. I enjoy being able to make a huge difference in a person’s health.

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

Papa Gianni’s Ristorante—the food and service are consistently fabulous.

And finally, customer service is…?

I feel as if customer service is rare these days, which is why it is hugely important to me.

I think the most important component of customer service is listening to your customer, knowing what they want and then delivering it and exceeding their expectations.

Answers by David Lawrence Describe your business.

The Toy Tech is a family owned and operated business located in Placerville, just off Main Street. We are an independent Toyota, Lexus, Scion, Honda, Acura and Subaru repair facility that’s committed to helping customers with all of their automotive needs. We use OEM factory parts and have more than 17 years of local experience.

What’s more, we offer a competitive hourly rate of $89/hour compared to the average cost of $95-$117/hour at our competitors, while still providing all of the services you’d receive at more expensive shops. We offer all manners of repairs—from simple oil changes and regular maintenance to major repairs. Being a small, local business has provided us with a great sense of freedom; it allows us to have a more personal relationship with customers, and lets us serve our customers with none of the pressure tactics found at larger shops. We are committed to helping customers Bree and David Lawrence with their automotive needs and show them that there are affordable choices when it comes to car maintenance and repair. We have many repeat customers; therefore, we often know the history of each vehicle and are able to extend our best advice accordingly.

tom takes a vacation Destination Lazy

begins. And that’s just 20 minutes into the trip. You can’t threaten with, “If you can’t decide, you won’t watch anything!” because you have the pot of gold right there. You can’t waste it. Not to mention, the selfish side of you doesn’t want to deal with the crying and whining because you wouldn’t let them watch a movie. It’s a 10-hour car ride!

Then it happens. The dreaded, “I have to go potty.” You think back. Didn’t you tell them to go before you left the house?

They said they didn’t have to. You told them to try anyway. Your husband wants

to pull into the first place he sees. You argue that it has to be clean. The kids are starting to get upset because they can’t hold it much longer. You start to dream about going on vacation by yourself…to a nice, quiet place where you can relax in your folding lounge chair, while sipping a cold strawberry daiquiri out of your “I heart my family” tumbler.

Ahh, the lazy days of summer. I think Tom is on to something.

veryone’s heard the saying, “lazy days of summer,” right?

Well, August is now “lazy days of Tom.” (Which is interesting, because August is the only month without an official holiday or day off). Tommy has decided that it would be too hard to write this article while draped over his folding lounge chair in his Speedo, sipping lemonade out of his “I heart Bigfoot” tumbler.

Summer is the perfect time to be lazy; it’s too hot to do anything. People practically expect you to lie out in the sun and drink ice-cold beverages all day.

You’re supposed to take naps on the couch while watching baseball.

You’re supposed to go on vacation and leave your worries behind.

But, have you ever noticed families on vacation—the frustration, the irritation and the weariness all over their faces? Vacations are work. You need a vacation when you come back from your vacation. Picture for a moment being with your family 24 hours a day for a week. Now don’t get me wrong: I love my family; I love them enough to not go on a weeklong vacation with them.

My husband suggested a family vacation this year. We compromised with a five-day road trip up to Portland, Oregon. A road trip means being in a car—a very small, enclosed space that you cannot escape. A trip to Portland meant two full days in a car with a threeand five-year old.

Side note to my parents: How in the h**l did you survive road trips with my brother and me without a DVD player?

The DVD player is like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (unless no one can decide what movie to watch for the 87th time). The fighting
