oseville City School District Superintendent Derk Garcia knows firsthand how transformative a college education can be. Neither of his parents were college educated, but they instilled in him a strong work ethic—a belief that anything was possible if you were willing to work hard. “My parents were always saying they wanted us to do better than them, educationally and economically,” he recalls. It wasn’t always easy, however. While attending college, Garcia lived in his parents’ garage and worked various fulltime night jobs, often getting only a few hours of sleep before his morning classes. Luckily, his persistence paid off; before shifting focus to the administrative side of

the education field, he spent seven years as a history and government teacher. He was especially interested in helping children from underserved communities and believes “every child has excellence within themselves. It just takes an individual or a community to bring that out.” These days, Garcia—a father of two boys—has become a strong advocate for children’s outreach organizations. He’s a board member of KidsFirst, an educational program that supports children of separated or divorced parents, and is also on the board of the Tommy Apostolos Fund, which provides assistance to children in need. In addition, he’s been instrumental in raising funds to reinstitute music education in kindergarten and elementary schools

of its juice has as much synephrine as one over-the-counter decongestant pill, according to a 2008 study. Sweet, seedless and easy-to-peel, mandarins are more cold hardy than other citrus (except for kumquats), and do particularly well in our region. Growers began to plant mandarin orchards in the foothills in the 1960s, and many consider mandarins Placer’s new Gold Rush.
ask the expert
Q: Are there any health benefits from having a glass of wine once a week?
A:
It has been proven on more than one occasion that there are health benefits from modest consumption of wine. Notice the term “modest,” as all health benefits are negated if one consumes an excessive amount. If you do consume a modest amount, however, then you may enjoy benefits like stress relief and better cholesterol via the naturally occurring antioxidants, such as resveratrol and quercetin, which are found in both red and white wine. These naturally occurring chemicals are the agents of change! They do the heavy lifting in your blood stream, converting the “bad” cholesterol to the “good” cholesterol. —Jeff Meyers, Vice President Terra d’Oro Winery 20680 Shenandoah School Road Plymouth 209-245-6942, tdowinery.com

I
t’s a mandarin—not a mandarin orange—and Placer County has about 200 producing acres of these potent little jewels. The most popular variety grown here, Owari Satsuma, packs quite a punch against the sniffles; just 10 ounces 14 stylergbr.com - November 2016
Owari Satsumas are only in season for a few months and are more perishable than typical oranges, but by storing them in a cool place (60-70 degrees), they’ll last up to a week. Their flavor stays truer if they stay out of the refrigerator. Add them to a sack lunch for an easy and healthy (mandarins are rich in calcium, potassium, limonene and dietary fiber) snack. Since mandarins have such a short season, consider freezing the juice in small doses for extended storage; this way you can fight your cold symptoms naturally—even
when the fruit’s out of season. — Carol Arnold For details on where to buy Placer County farm-fresh produce, wine, meat and other products, visit placergrown. org and foothillfarmersmarket.com. FOR THE RECIPE TO MAKE

orget 31 flavors and waffle cones. At Smoosh, the latest development in ice cream innovation, ice cream sandwiches take the spotlight and don’t disappoint. As I walked into the up-and-coming parlor, I was greeted by crisp freezer air, no wait at all and a genial “How are you today?” from the man behind the counter. Before building an unusual combination of Strawberry Ice Cream, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Coconut Shavings, I caught sight of two customers’ milkshakes and considered following their lead, but as soon as I bit into that blend of smooth ice cream, coarse cookie and crunchy coconut, I was glad I didn’t. To my delight, as I continued to devour my sandwich, I hadn’t used any of the 20-something napkins I took in anticipation for a melted and collapsed sandwich—it stayed surprisingly intact. Ice cream cones are notoriously messy, sticky and awkward, and Smoosh sandwiches have another leg up here: They’re easy to handle and won’t leave you searching for a bathroom to wash the dried ice cream off your hands. Avoid unnecessary messiness and do your sweet tooth a favor: Try Smoosh, and find yourself never setting foot in another conventional ice cream parlor again.

The decade Joel Parker Whitney planted 1,000 palm trees in his Placer County Citrus Colony to attract wealthy English landowners. The majority of the palms still stand today—lining what is now English Colony Road. Named a historical landmark in the 2000s, these “Penryn Palms”—869 of which have been identified as historic palms—have the distinction of possibly being the only “living landmarks” in California.

There’s no better way to kick off the holiday season than with two days of festivities at High Hand Nursery’s Victorian Holiday Faire, a celebration with a steampunk edge! The fun goes from November 26 (10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.) to November 27 (10 a.m. 4 p.m.) and is held in conjunction with the nursery’s annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. Activities include a cappella carols by The Merrie Olde Christmas Carolers, a gingerbread cookie decorating station, and about 20 artists—many dressed in Victorian or steampunk garb—selling their wares in the Historic Fruit Shed. “There is no better gift to give than art made by skilled craftsmen and artists living in your local community,” says High Hand Art Gallery Marketing Director Vincent DiLeo. “The event benefits the community at large by providing a free Christmas event during the holiday season with entertainment and fun for all ages,” DiLeo continues. “We hope it sets the mood for everyone to have a wonderful, happy Christmas season.” highhandartgallery.com/victorian-holiday-faire. •

fter graduating from UC Davis’ g ra p h i c d e s i g n p ro g ra m , Phawnda Moore created special projects for clients in corporate health care, food commissions and publishing. Holding communication positions at the Placer County Office of Education and California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, the artist has since been recognized nationally three times for her work as a designer and editor. Since 2010, Moore has taught calligraphy and mixed media at the Crocker Art Museum, Art League of Lincoln, University Art, Mendocino Art Center, Sacramento Fine Arts Center, local libraries, and in her Rocklin studio. She’ll be conducting classes in brush lettering at the Art League of Lincoln this month (details on facebook. com/calligraphyanddesignbyphawnda), and at the Mendocino Art Center next April. She also publishes free online tutorials twice monthly on emptyeasel. com. Inspired by beauty, as well as connection, change, travel, nature and hope, Moore seems to effortlessly express these elements through her flawless, sensational script.

HLB: What inspires you? PM: Classical lettering with watercolor and rhythm; texture tools; splashing colors and shapes around. Someone once said, “Everything on the page should speak to each other,” which defines strong design and is always part of my art and teaching.
HLB: What can students expect from your classes? PM: Most of my students have retired from the business wo r l d a n d n ow wa n t to keep journals, make personalized gifts, or send beautiful correspondence. I teach lettering—with a historical foundation—and design for their projects. They use modern tools, try new stuff from my studio, and see the process of creating. I encourage personal style for both poets and rock stars. Workshops are sometimes held in my Rocklin studio, and students are served morning tea and a gourmet lunch. I’m told it’s a “spa-like experience.”
HLB: What do you love about your community? PM: My students! I’ve been designing my own holiday cards for decades and have hand addressed about 200, one to every student I meet each year.

patients and their families gather to play instruments and sing along to popular songs. “It’s a time for fun, when they can do something normal that doesn’t involve medical interventions,” says Tori Steeley, music therapist at UC Davis Children’s Hospital. “To a child or teenager, the hospital can be traumatizing and unpredictable. Music therapy provides a safe space to express emotions and engage in play that is familiar and predictable.”
2 / Early childhood development “Hundreds of studies have shown the positive effects of music on infants, toddlers and preschoolers,” says Brian Gross, president of Bach to Rock, a nationwide music school with locations in Rocklin and Folsom. “We’ve seen this positive impact firsthand in the thousands of children we’ve taught. Just try adding a song to the chore of cleaning up toys, and you will see the difference. Children are never too young to play and create music to support cognitive development, learning and motor skills.”
3 / Pain management Post-operative patients, cancer patients and patients with chronic pain can benefit from the soothing effects of music. “Music therapists draw on the gate control theory of pain management using music therapy interventions to distract your brain from painful stimulus and change your experience with pain,” explains Brown. “Not only does music therapy help reduce your perception of pain, but through relaxationfocused interventions, it can reduce muscle tension related to severe and chronic pain.”
Familiar music stimulates long-term memory in all people; however, certain kinds of music can even help organize brain patterns, according to Brown. “This can be especially beneficial Kid n Keys class at Bach to Rock; front to back: Makaila Webb, Kevin Branson, Ava Simmons and for patients with dementia, as it can improve Linley Schmidt cognitive and motor functioning.

or more than two decades, Kathy Montgomery has dedicated herself to serving pet therapy programs for Sutter Health Hospitals throughout the region as a licensed instructor and evaluator with Pet Partners. In that time, she’s seen a dramatic shift in attitudes toward the presence of animals in hospital settings. Although some of the nation’s larger, more progressive medical centers were early adopters of the practice, others, she says, were hesitant. “Now pet therapy is so much more readily accepted, basically because of all the positive feedback from patients [and] staff,” Montgomery observes. Pet Partners, the nation’s foremost nonprofit organization dedicated to registering handlers of therapy animals, points to growing research highlighting the impact of human-animal bonding, including a 2013 study published by the peer-reviewed scientific journal, PLOS ONE. Researchers found that the presence of animals can increase positive social behaviors in children demonstrating autism spectrum disorder. Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, Montgomery notes, was an early proponent of pet therapy, and introduced its Paws on Call program (of which she is the coordinator) one department at a time, as demand from patients and their families steadily increased. What began with just three dogs has grown to 25 pet therapy teams—including three miniature horses—which have access to every medical department, including the ICU. In 2013, the program expanded to Roseville when a physician’s wife approached the Sutter Roseville Medical Center Foundation—an organization dedicated to raising philanthropic funding—with her own experiences as a pet therapy volunteer. According to Sutter Health Philanthropy’s

strong bonds Connect with Your Kids: 5 Ways by Lance Hahn
M
ost of us chose to have children so that we could spend time with them , cre ate qu ality relationships and pour out our love and care. Yet, how soon we forget. After whiny car rides, meltdowns and doses of teen angst, many of our daydreams involve escaping for alone time; but when the storm calms and everyone is settled into bed, our hearts truly long to once again connect. Here are five ways to do just that without spending a million dollars.
1 / QUALITY TIME
2 / GET OUT OF THE HOUSE Home is a place of patterns, and each one has a vibe…a way that things normally go. In order to reestablish connection, it’s imperative to alter the patterns to get everyone engaged, which is done most easily by changing the atmosphere. It doesn’t have to be an expensive outing; 28 stylergbr.com - November 2016
children don’t count dollars spent when calculating joy.
3 / A SAFE PLACE TO TALK I only have daughters, and my daughters love to talk—a lot. Maybe you have boys who are completely content with doing activity and don’t have three words to say, but if a child needs to talk, it’s critical they have a safe environment to do so, or they will stay tight-lipped. A safe place is created when we listen deeply, perform active listening and affirm that what is being said will be kept in appropriate confidence. Remember: They are sorting things out—what they say is not as important as what they are trying to say.
they’re old enough to track on those, their hearts begin to shrink. Let them laugh, make them laugh, and laugh with them. Laughter isn’t just good medicine—it’s good parenting.
5 / PROJECTS OF VALUE
4 / LAUGH
If you’re less of a talker as a parent, you need to think of things you can do with your children that convey emotional content. For example, let them assist in a project that truly matters to the household (not busy work). This will show them that they contribute, and they will feel valued. Serve others who are less fortunate with your children so they learn deep truths side by side with you. Certain activities can say far more than you could ever verbalize.
Laughter is critical, and fun is vital. The way to a child’s heart is through their funny bone. The world around them has crushing concerns, and the moment

Children want to be paid attention to; in fact, children need to be paid attention to. Whether it’s as overt as, “Mommy, look at me!” or as hidden as crossed arms, a dour look and hiding under a hoodie, kids are constantly telling us they need our attention. In order to have quality time count, however, it needs to be on their terms and not merely on ours. Children are less aware of what makes a great time, but they’re experts on what ruins one, so whatever you do, keep the following in mind. First, it can’t be boring or they emotionally disconnect; second, the more everyone is having a good time, the more their cup is filled; third, don’t rush the moment or constantly remind everyone of time limits (when you’re at Disneyland you want to make-believe it will last forever); and finally, be present in the moment to listen, laugh and ask questions, as kids know when our minds are somewhere else.

ther than the color of a space and furniture orientation, lighting is one of the most important elements in interior design. The opulence emitted, shape of the fixture, and color of the hardware and finishes are just a few of the points to pay attention to when selecting lighting. Read on for our top five tips, in no particular order…
shine bright 5 Lighting Tips to Transform Your Space by Kerrie L. Kelly, ASID
1 / Add Glamour with a Chandelier Nothing says “look at me!” more than an opulent chandelier. Hang one in a room to make a statement. Whether your style is totally traditional or ultra-modern, a chandelier light fixture draws the eye upward, because of its large size and glamorous design. Chandeliers work best in more formal spaces—like an entryway and dining room—but can be used in living rooms, too, for an added punch of pretty.
2 / Play it Cool with Pendants
is safe while bathing or prepping dinner. Enter wall sconces. Sconces add design, as well as function, and are a decorative way to illuminate those tricky spaces, like hallways and art galleries.
3 / Implement Elegance with Ceiling-Mounts Looking for something subtler than a chandelier but a little more sophisticated than pendants? Ceiling-mount light fixtures are a timeless way to make a statement in any space, especially hallways and kitchens. If you choose to implement stylish ceiling-mounts into your design, make sure you add another layer of lighting for added dimension and safety, too.
4 / Layer with Stylish Sconces While the above-mentioned lighting options are beautiful, some areas of the home—like the bathroom and kitchen— require added safety features, like another layer of lighting, to make sure everyone 30 stylergbr.com - November 2016
KERRIE L. KELLY 5 / Sprinkle on Finishing Touches with Lamps Table and floor lamps are crucial design elements. Table lamps are perfect for nightstands and side tables, because they provide task lighting for reading or watching TV while also adding a small design statement to the space.

Our go-to lighting choice, pendants, come in all shapes, sizes and styles, making them the easiest type of lighting to add to any room. These small hanging fixtures draw attention while also balancing the design of the rest of the space that they’re in. If you’re looking to illuminate a small space, consider hanging one large, individual pendant with a show-stopping design. Clusters or rows of pendants look best strung above a bar or kitchen island (spaces that need more direct task lighting).

Cut the squash into large cubes, about 1 1/2 inches across, then toss in a large roasting tin with half the olive oil. Roast for 30 minutes, turning once during cooking, until golden and soft.While the squash cooks, melt the butter with the remaining oil in a large saucepan, and then add the onions, garlic and 3/4 of the chili. Cover and cook on very low heat for 15-20 minutes until the onions are completely soft.Add the squash into the pan along with the stock and crème fraîche, and then whizz with a stick blender until smooth. For a really silky soup, put the soup into a liquidiser and blitz it in batches. Return to the pan, gently reheat, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the soup in bowls with swirls of crème fraîche and a scattering of the remaining chopped chili.

ust south of Mendocino and Fort Bragg, and about three hours north from Sacramento, is an oceanside destination that’s just big enough to have plenty to do, yet small enough to feel secluded. The tiny, aptly named hamlet of Little River lies at an elevation of 66 feet and is snuggled into a cliffside between the ocean and a river. 46 stylergbr.com - November 2016
SLEEP Little River Inn is a perfectly charming resort with a room type for all—from accommodations in the main hotel with breathtaking scenery of seaside cliffs, to cottage homes sprinkled along the coast with additional amenities. I recommend the Mallory House, a secluded home about a mile away from the main property with
ocean views and a hot tub. The rooms are spacious and roomy— think living room, fireplace, small dining area, bathroom and a bedroom, which happens to overlook the beautiful cliffs. Opening the French double doors and sitting on the deck’s two rocking chairs— champagne in hand—is the perfect vantage point to watch the sun dip down.

Mendocino Coast
PLAY After a restful night, wake up with a massage at the Spa at Little River Inn—where the masseuses make the already-serene environment feel even more welcoming and tranquil. Plus, it sets the tone for a low-key day exploring your surroundings. In the little town of Mendocino, about a 10-minute drive north, tourists are treated
like townsfolk, kitsch is a given, and you won’t find a single chain store (but you will find plenty of delicious local coffee shops!). Start the morning off with a Bloody Mary at Flow Restaurant and Lounge, which according to locals has “the best Bloodys in town!” and walk off your buzz by meandering in and out of the mom-and-popowned shops.
Another 16 minutes north takes you to Fort Bragg, where the exquisite Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens captivates nature-lovers big and small. Depending on the season, you’ll be greeted with blooming roses, small forests of rhododendron, bursting dahlias, full succulent gardens, and, if you walk to the cliffside, colorful patches of seaside flowers.

Ole’s Whale Watch Bar, sited at the Little River Inn, is steeped in history and well worth the walk from your room.

taste SWEET AND TANGY SPARE RIBS Our Table: Time-Tested Recipes, Memorable Meals by Renee Muller (Mesorah Publications Ltd., 2016, $34.99)
• About 8 (one-inch thick) spare ribs, nicely marbled • 2 1/2 cups duck sauce • 1 cup water • 2 tbsp. teriyaki sauce • 5 garlic cloves, minced • 1 tsp. paprika • 2 tbsp. dried onion flakes • 1 tbsp. salt • Black pepper, to taste Preheat oven to 350-degrees Fahrenheit. In a baking pan, arrange ribs in one layer. In a medium bowl, combine duck sauce, water, teriyaki sauce, garlic, paprika, onion flakes, salt and pepper. Pour over ribs. Cover tightly with foil; bake for 3 hours. Let ribs cool; then refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 375-degrees Fahrenheit (use the “roast” setting, if available). Remove congealed fat layer from the ribs. Roast, uncovered, spooning sauce over the ribs once or twice, until ribs are braised and glistening, about 20 minutes. Note: I like to cool the ribs in the middle of the cooking process so I can remove the fat layer, but it’s not a necessity. You can raise oven temperature, uncover meat, and proceed with the braising part immediately after the 3-hour slow roasting.
MRAZ BREWING COMPANY’S WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY BELGIAN-STYLE TRIPEL Mraz is a small, award-winning brewery doing big things in El Dorado Hills. 54 stylergbr.com - November 2016
dinner date Food and Beer for the Season
They’ve put themselves on Northern California’s craft beer map, thanks to their fabulous sours and Belgian-style beers. Window of Opportunity—a gold medal winner at the 2014 California State Fair Commercial Craft Brew Competition—is one of the best Belgian ales I’ve had and falls in the middle of being a Belgian golden and tripel. The first taste is a little malty with some spice notes, and the finish is slightly sweet. With a beautiful clean and dry finish, you would never know it was a higher-alcohol beer (8.5-percent ABV). It has all the qualities of a classic Belgian ale—making it hard to believe it was brewed right here in California—and is a perfect pairing to this month’s Sweet and Tangy Spare Ribs. —Eden Tuscano, 36 Handles Restaurant & Pub

A friend once called me asking for a meat recipe. “It has to be amazingly good and incredibly easy,” she said. “I’m kidding,” she then added, but I knew she really wasn’t. And I had just the thing. Whenever I meet her husband, he makes sure to thank me, AGAIN, for “those awesome ribs.” Where does it say that great dishes have to be long, hard and complicated?

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? I’m an esthetician who focuses on health and wellness for my clients using an all-natural Native American clay for the basis of my skin care treatments. I’ve been in the aesthetics field since 1970. In 2000, I got very interested in skin, because I was aging—and not the way I wanted to—so for the last 15 years I’ve been on the warpath for the best and most organic treatments, and thus have a passion to share my success with others. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? The personal spiritual work I have done to become a better person; also, giving back to my community. Who is your role model in business or in life, and why? John Travolta and Kelly Preston. They are beautiful, successful and humbly fabulous people. Where do you go when the going gets tough? To my logical self on a walk or run, or to my family—they are fabulous. What’s your hidden talent? I have an eye for creating beautiful spaces—interiors, events, etc.—on a really tiny budget. What’s your biggest job perk? When my clients look in the mirror after their skin care treatment and love what they see. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? Paul Martin’s American Grill. Where do you and your family go locally to have fun? Hiking trails. If you could meet someone living or dead, who would it be and why? Walt Disney. He was a visionary of great magnitude and built an empire that no other man has created. He would be fascinating to spend a day with. And finally, customer service is…? Caring about the person in front of you fully—each and every time you service them.

We know that all experiences, good or bad, have value in them. Why is your staff the best in the business? Our staff is wonderful. An escape room experience should be fun and exciting.

Turn Off Your Smartphone, Tune Into Life by Tom Mailey
I
am howling into the autumn wind on this one, but can we all just put our smartphones down and talk to each other again? At least a little? I am just as big an offender as anybody. In brief moments of self-awareness, I am appalled at how dependent I’ve become on my device. I check it, set it down, then, like an involuntary tic, find myself reaching for it again. Just writing the last two sentences reminded me FOR MORE TOM’S TAKES, that my phone is upstairs VISIT STYLERGBR.COM. and I haven’t checked it WHAT’S COMING since last night. I am literally NEXT MONTH? forcing myself to stay in my DON’T MISS STYLE’S chair right now, fighting the “HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE!” lure of that initial dopamine 66 stylergbr.com - November 2016
rush when I first see how many fresh likes I got on my last Instagram post. I a m a s h a m e d to a d m it it b u t , pathetically, this is true: My thumbs are chronically sore from endlessly thumping out texts, replying to posts, and impulsive Google searches of completely unnecessary things that randomly pop into my head like, “Name of lead singer of Missing Persons.” It’s Dale Bozzio, by the way. Our kids have become so dependent on their phones that there is a new app called “Pocket Points” that rewards students for simply staying off them during school hours with earned points for store discounts. There’s talk of a similar app so drivers stay off their phones—because sadly, the fact that it’s
already dangerous and illegal apparently isn’t enough. I’m no Luddite. Of course I love the freedom technology allows and the almost limitless creative landscape it makes available. I also appreciate that we can instantly access literally every bit of knowledge mankind has ever collected, and all from the comfort of the bathroom— um, if that’s where you happen to be— but we’re trading something for it, like looking at each other. It took thousands of years of evolution to perfect non-verbal communication—body language, tone of voice, eye contact (hey, when my wife rolls her eyes at me, I know exactly what that means). But if we continue down this path, will wives in the future have to text their husbands an eye roll emoticon so he knows she’s mad he forgot to buy milk? I know I’m starting to sound like cranky old “get off my lawn” guy. And I don’t mean to. But when two people are out to dinner and they’re not talking because they’re both looking at their phones, there’s a problem. When we pay hundreds of dollars on concert tickets and then watch the whole show through a tiny little screen, there’s a problem. When I have to tell my kid that maybe he should put down his phone and go watch some TV like I used to do (which I actually did), there’s a problem! And I’m not sure how to fix it, or if it even can be fixed. But let’s try this. When the family gets together this month for Thanksgiving, let’s put the phone away, at least for a little while. Let’s interact, talk, joke and argue...face-to-face and in the moment. OK, fine, take a few pictures, shoot a little video—we’d do that anyway—but let’s hold off on texting, Instagramming, Facebooking, Tweeting, Snapchatting or otherwise impulsively giving all our attention to our devices rather than each other. Unless you manage to catch Fun Uncle Carl taking one to the giblets in the annual backyard football game. Then by all means post that video to YouTube. It might go viral.
