editor’snote
As I was looking through old photos
attempting to find a not-too-embar-
rassing pic of me with one of my child-
hood dogs, I came to the realization that we
had A LOT of pets over the years. Two Peking-
ese, 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 au-
thors 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! •— Desiree

ran Christensen knows the secret
to getting kids to eat their veg-
etables. In her after-school cook-
ing 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 work-
ing with food, the most re-
warding part of her newfound
career is exposing kids to the
world of culinary arts while also teaching
gettoknow

them crucial kitchen skills, such as how
to properly hold a knife or how to put
out a grease fire. 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 (cooking-
withmrsc.com). Her big goal for the near
future is to donate the bulk of
her books’ profits to school
fundraisers, in lieu of the cus-
tomary candy and junk food
sales. Through her books, she
hopes to give kids the confi-
dence to get cooking. “When
a child takes a book and can
go home and prepare a snack
or meal, they feel really em-
powered,” Christensen says.

I have little or no equity in my current home, but I’d
like to move to a different area. Is a move possible or
am I stuck?
The desire for a bigger or smaller home, with more or
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 attrac-
tive 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.

We plan to take our dog on vacation with us. What can
I do to make sure he’s comfortable and safe?
Most of us consider our pets to be important family mem-
bers, 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.

Calling 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 station-
meets-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!

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.

I’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

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 im-
portant 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 “hand-
made” artists, Dodd has relied on the suc-
cess of Esty to market and sell her pieces.
“It has grown so much in the past few
years,” she says. “Listing my beads is sim-
ple 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 fa-
vorite 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.“ •

“Modification of habits will usually take
care of the problem,” says Dr. Seema Ma-
ple, 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 hor-
monal 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.
EYESWhat 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
You 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.
SKINWhat you see: Dry, flaky skin

system. The key is to know when [it’s]
important to have your eyes exam-
ined by an ophthalmologist.” With al-
lergies, you may have dry eyes or mild
irritation, as well as itchiness or a feel-
ing of having sand in your eyes; Dr. Li
suggests using over-the-counter arti-
ficial tears. You might have viral con-
junctivitis, a.k.a. pinkeye, if your eyes
seem bloodshot “with significant dis-
charge 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 touch-
ing the eyes to prevent the spread of
disease to others.” Go to an eye doc-
tor right away to prevent long-term
damage. If you have severely red eyes
accompanied by pain, light sensitivity
or a decrease in vision.

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.” •
“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 poten-
tial reasons for hair loss include polycys-
tic 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 treat-
ments 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.

4. GARDENIf the greens scene at your place is not
exactly flourishing, invest in a few contain-
ers 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 cre-
ativity 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.
5. SCHEDULE SNACKS“If kids are allowed to free graze and fill
up on processed snacks and juice dur-
ing 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 sched-
ule 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.”
6. AVOID LABELINGTagging foods as good or
bad “can make poor choices
even more attractive by elicit-
ing 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.
Kids are growing up—and pack-
ing on the pounds. Here, Tamalisa
Carlson, MPH, RD, clinical dieti-
tian and health educator at Marshall Medi-
cal Center, weighs in.
1. SET THE EXAMPLE“Early on, children learn behaviors and at-
titudes about food and health from their
parents,” Carlson says. “Even without re-
alizing it a parent may [invite] a child to
ignore their own hunger cues by encour-
aging them to finish a bottle or the food
on their plate.” So, be a good role model
(eat well and exercise) and avoid mind-
less grazing.
2. CHANGE THE CONVERSATION“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 din-
ner with the help of games like Just Dance.
3. GET COOKIN‘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 ver-
sion of something they love in the mix),
put them “in charge” of packing. But, adds
Carlson, “Make sure your child gets a vari-
ety 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.
7. SKIP THE DRIVE-THRU“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

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.
FEAT parent Lisa Jeffers has been in-
volved with the organization since 2010
When 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 donat-
ing her time to Families for Early Autism
Treatment (FEAT), a Sacramento-based
nonprofit dedicated to providing valu-
able resources and information to families
touched by autism. Through a combina-
tion 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 as-
sistance or intervention [and] treatment
for their child.”
Founded in 1993 by parents and treat-
ment professionals, FEAT’s founding
members began with a goal of improving
early autism intervention services in the
Sacramento area. Through a combina-
tion 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 meet-
ing,” Mariscal explains. “We guide parents
through every process personally and
professionally.”
According to estimates from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention’s
cause&effect
connected by a cause
Families for Early Autism Treatmentby Morgan Cásarez
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 col-
lege. 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.” •

Asking 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 Mason-
Smith is an executive coach and president of Mason-Smith Suc-
cess 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 EVERYTHINGDon’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.
3. GO IN KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT,BASED ON RESEARCHWith 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.
4. DON’T LET YOUR REQUEST LANGUISHYou 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’REREALLY WILLING TO WALK AWAYAll 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 COMPROMISEThe 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. • Ph

Ellen 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 ele-
gant 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 generos-
ity. 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 expect-
ing to be repaid. In 1852 and 1853, cholera
and small pox raged through Coloma.
Wilson closed her business and opened Gart

the house as a hospital. At a time when
many miners were living in canvas tents,
Wilson provided a warm, dry place to re-
cover—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 oc-
curred 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 en-
raged when he saw her dancing with an-
other and tried to shoot his competition.
34 stylemg.com - August 2013
Unfortunately, he missed and killed her.
Women in Wilson’s profession were
usually buried outside the Christian cem-
etery, but because of Wilson’s kindness
during the epidemic, an ex-
ception was made. At her fu-
neral, “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 bur-
ied 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.•

When you have a place for
everything and your home
is primed to effectively sup-
port 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 shoul-
ders. 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 favor-
ite 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. Clo

2. STORE MEDICINE IN 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 assort-
ment 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.
36 stylemg.com - August 2013
People will begin to expect it, and it will
certainly save you the hassle of buying
themed giftwrap for every holiday and
occasion.
4. CREATE DOUBLE-DUTY STORAGE. Built-in storage tailored to
your needs is a great organizational solu-
tion. Options include wall units, cabinets
and seating. When planning for window
seats and banquettes, specify a flip-top
or drawer-front for extra dish, linen and
seasonal storage.
5. KEEP A SECOND SET OF BASIC CLEANING SUPPLIES IN THE BATHROOM. It’s so much easier
to tackle an undesirable chore like clean-
ing 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 bas-
ket; 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 out-
side. A quick glance at the photo and you’ll
instantly know what’s inside. •

is among the clinical faculty of that ser-
vice. “We also offer veterinary physical

Koski, a doctor of veterinary medi-

treats pet birds, reptiles, fish, rabbits
and rodent species. She has used acu-
puncture in treating dogs, cats, lizards,
rabbits, tortoises, birds and exotic spe-
cies—any pet animal,
she says.
“Alternative, ho-
listic, Eastern and
complementary med-
icine 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 med-
icine or integrative
medicine, because I
like to use it in addi-
tion to, or integrating it into a Western
therapy.” Holistic generally means treat-
ing 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 col-
leagues, though educated in England
and Australia, were Chinese veterinar-
ians 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 medica-
tion. 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.”
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 nutrition-
ally, because I knew
there was a need,”
Bader says. He uses,
among other diag-
nostic and treat-
ment tools, applied
kinesiology, thera-
peutic laser and
homeopathic medi-
cine, 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 Vet-
erinary Hospital found that herbal medi-
cines and a change of diet made a huge
difference when her dog, Bailey, under-
went major abdominal surgery for can-
cer. As she explored Eastern medicine,
Van Tine discovered that acupuncture,
food therapy and Chinese herbal medi-
cine complement each other, creating a
triad of treatment modalities.
Acupuncture pinpoints collections of
immune cells, nerve cells and blood ves-
sels in the shallower parts of the body
that connect to spe-
cific 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
m o re s t i m u l a t -
ing,” Van Tine says.
“When you get into
internal medicine,
Eastern medicine is
more multidimen-
sional than Western.”
Van Tine has been practicing acu-
puncture since 2006. “The really ben-
eficial thing about Chinese medicine is
you can detect changes before critical
INCREASING ACCEPTANCE UC Davis is not alone in offering integra-
tive treatments. Many veterinarians have
found acupuncture and other holistic
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,
“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.”

{ }thewhole
pet
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 ani-
mal 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 OATHThe 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.
It reads:
Being admitted to the profes-
sion of veterinary medicine,
I solemnly swear to use
my scientific knowledge
and skills for the bene-
fit of society through
the protection of
animal health and
welfare, the pre-
vention and relief
of animal suffering,
the conservation of
animal resources,
the promot ion 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 con-
tinual 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, in-
tegrative, Western, traditional, alternative or
anything else. •

Heyday CaféA Popular Place for Food with Glory
by Jennifer ResnickePhotography by Dante Fontana
In case you needed yet another reason to
visit the nostalgic streets of downtown
Placerville, there’s Heyday Café—an en-
ticing eatery boasting smiling sunflowers in
its window boxes and an American-chic-
meets-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
The menu is fine dining enough to impress, without being so haughty that you find yourself struggling to

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 win-
ter/spring menu, but the summer menu
debuted mid-June and features the same
balance of freshness and decadence. I es-
pecially 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 cut-
lery), 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), accompa-
nied by seasonal vegetables and mashed
red potatoes. The steak was melt-in-your-
mouth 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 ge-
lato and a homemade fudge that gives
chocolate shops a run for their money.
With an ample wine selection, vibrant
appetizers and entrées and indulgent des-
serts, this may just be our new go-to date
place (and our new “just because place”). •

A Fresh Face in Folsom’s Sea
Kanpai Roll
August 2013 - stylemg.com 53
My 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 remark-
ably. It was served perfectly—lightly
breaded, deep-fried and paired with
ponzu for dipping. In a word: incredi-
blydelicious. (Yes, it deserves its own
new word to describe it!)
After departing soft-shell-crab
heaven, we moved on to another appe-
tizer, 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 incredu-
lous 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
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 fundamen-
tally 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 re-
ally need another sushi restaurant?” My
head was leaning toward no, but after
this encounter, my eyes and taste buds
were immediately moved to—yes! •

Pizza with Pears, Pecorino and walnutsFrom The Grilling Book by Bon appétit
(Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2013, $45)
This sweet-and-savory pizza mines the fla-
vors of a classic Italian cheese plate: slices
of ripe pear, a wedge of Pecorino and a
handful of cracked walnuts.
• 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
Build a medium-hot/medium-low, two-
zone 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. Us-
ing a spatula, transfer crust to rimless
baking sheet. Repeat with second
dough round. If using a gas grill, re-
duce 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 pep-
per; drizzle with oil. Makes two
15-inch pizzas. Recip

Mohua sauViGnon Blanc 2012The 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

CELEBRITY CITYFrom 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 FAMILYDid 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
If you live in northern California, and perhaps anywhere in
the U.S., you’ve heard that Carmel is a must-see destina-
tion. 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 hid-
den gems not to be
missed.

FOR MORE PLACES TO ESCAPE TO, VISIT STYLEMG.COM.
DID YOU KNOW?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 alcohol-
friendly 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.
A FOODIE’S FEASTOnce 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 VINOA few minutes away from Carmel-By-The-Sea is Carmel Valley flowing with award-win-
ning 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 gar-
dens 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.
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
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.
What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience?
My automotive career has come full circle. When I first entered the industry more than 17
years ago, I worked as an automotive detailer in the very location The Toy Tech resides today!
What life accomplishments are you most proud of?
My beautiful family. I adore my amazing, patient wife, Bree, and our three rambunctious
children: Evan, Ella Kate and Jake, (ages 6 years, 4 years and 9 months respectively). I’m also
grateful that I’m able to pursue my passion for automotive repairs and make a business out of
it. Making a living doing what you love is a gift, and I’m truly blessed to have it.
What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?
My wife and I love Amerikan Ichi Sushi and Hog Wild Bar-B-Que.

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 run-
ning 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 slip-
ping 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 over-
whelmed. 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, well-
ness 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.

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

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
Everyone’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 lem-
onade out of his “I heart Bigfoot”
tumbler.
Summer is the perfect time
to be lazy; it ’s too hot to do
anything. People practically ex-
pect 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 irrita-
tion 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 be-
ing 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 three-
and 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 (un-
less no one can decide what movie to
watch for the 87th time). The fighting
