editor’s note<br />
W<br />
hat’s your relationship with winter sports? Do you buy a season ski<br />
pass before the first snowstorm of the season hits or is your idea<br />
of a winter workout maneuvering Christmas cookies to <strong>and</strong><br />
from your mouth? My courtship is complicated. Growing up so<br />
close to the Sierras meant Friday<br />
field trips to Boreal Mountain<br />
Resort <strong>and</strong> Sunday fundays sledding. Though it sounds like<br />
a postcard-perfect childhood, the reality was much different.<br />
My inaugural experience downhill skiing was one of the most<br />
frigid, frightening days of my life. I cried more than I laughed<br />
<strong>and</strong> was on my fanny more than my feet. Subsequent attempts<br />
included injuries <strong>and</strong> a general fear factor that I never could<br />
conquer. Needless to say, when I moved to San Diego <strong>and</strong><br />
traded the snow for the s<strong>and</strong>, I didn’t miss the mountains<br />
one bit.<br />
It wasn’t until returning to my roots that I truly started<br />
appreciating the beauty <strong>and</strong> flurry of fun we have in this winter wonderl<strong>and</strong> of ours. Downhill<br />
skiing aside, residents can go snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice-skating, or even join<br />
a curling club. And in this month’s Health & Wellness article, “Work it Out(side)” (page 34),<br />
Kourtney Jason guides you through various ventures, with the benefits/calories burned, local<br />
places to try it, <strong>and</strong> a beginner tip for each. Even when the temps are tempting you inside, I<br />
hope it inspires you to soak up the snow <strong>and</strong> opt outside.<br />
Winter sports aren’t the only nod to the season this issue. We’ve packed these pages<br />
with a plethora of holiday fun, including “31 Ways to Give Back in 31 Days” (page 38) where<br />
Sharon Penny proves it is indeed better to give (of your time <strong>and</strong> talents) than receive. Make<br />
it your mission to try everything on the list or commit to one cause <strong>and</strong> see just how warm<br />
<strong>and</strong> fuzzy it makes you feel.<br />
When it comes to giving more material things this month, because Christmas, I encourage<br />
you to check out our Holiday Gift Guide on page 45, chock-full of over 75 presents that’ll please<br />

page 40, featuring suggestions on how to be the hostess with<br />
the mostess, including investing in actual invites to truly set<br />
the soirée’s scene. And what’s an affair without alcohol? Make<br />
it extra spirited by preparing one of the 3 festive cocktails (each<br />
using locally made liquor) in Sip on This (page 78).<br />
Whether you loathe or love this time of year, remember to take a moment to appreciate<br />
the people, places, <strong>and</strong> things that abound <strong>and</strong> surround. Happy holidays!<br />

Voted Favorite Dentist<br />
in <strong>El</strong> <strong>Dorado</strong> <strong>Hills</strong> 11 Years!<br />
I’m a first-time croissant baker.<br />
What’s your best advice?<br />
Photo ©eqroy - stock.adobe.com.<br />
The secret to making excellent croissants is the perfect lamination<br />
of the butter layered inside the dough. The trick to creating those<br />
perfect layers? Use an extra dry butter with a higher fat content,<br />
<strong>and</strong> roll out the butter <strong>and</strong> the dough as cold as possible while<br />
they’re still malleable. If the butter is too cold, however, it will crack<br />
in the layers instead of rolling out evenly; if it’s too warm, it will<br />
melt into the dough <strong>and</strong> result in a more bread-like product instead<br />
of a deliciously flaky croissant. There’s no easy way to laminate the<br />
dough, so practice makes perfect. It has taken me many years <strong>and</strong><br />
thous<strong>and</strong>s of croissants to get it down, so don’t get discouraged if<br />
they aren’t perfect the first time—just keep trying!<br />

When is the best time to prune<br />
my trees <strong>and</strong> why is it important?<br />
Pruning—such as deadwood removal or thinning—is acceptable<br />
year-round in Northern California, but tree species can also<br />
determine timing. Small trees should be pruned carefully, <strong>and</strong><br />
newly planted trees shouldn’t be pruned heavily. Structural<br />
pruning early on in a tree’s life can prevent other issues that’ll help<br />
it grow correctly. Recent research has proven that aboveground<br />
growth encourages root growth. We recommend consulting with<br />
an arborist to determine what your trees needs are.<br />

Extend the gift of compassion, patience, <strong>and</strong><br />
underst<strong>and</strong>ing to yourself <strong>and</strong> others.<br />
WHAT COMES TO YOU NATURALLY?<br />

another soul. It gives my life great meaning <strong>and</strong><br />
leaves me feeling purposeful.<br />
WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST PET PEEVE?<br />

BIGGEST LIFE INSPIRATIONS?<br />
My greatest desire in life is to be a beneficial<br />

restore hope to those in need.<br />
FAVORITE HUMANITARIAN CAUSE?<br />
The worldwide effort to normalize the<br />
conversation around all forms of mental illness,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the global push to reduce the numbers of<br />
deaths by suicide.<br />
David<br />
Woods<br />
Bartley<br />
BEST WORDS OF WISDOM YOU’VE RECEIVED?<br />
My big brother, Major General John R. Bartley<br />
(Ret.), taught me the true meaning of servant<br />
leadership, the impact of remembering a<br />
person’s name, <strong>and</strong> the healing power of a<br />
good old-fashioned h<strong>and</strong>written note.<br />
Although he didn’t know it<br />
at the time, the day David<br />
Woods Bartley found<br />
himself st<strong>and</strong>ing on the<br />
edge of the Foresthill Bridge in Auburn—<br />
planning to jump—would prove to only be<br />
the beginning of his journey, not the end.<br />
It had been a long <strong>and</strong> difficult road to<br />
that fateful day in August 2011. Bartley<br />
had spent his youth dealing with chronic<br />
depression, following a series of childhood<br />
traumas including the early loss of his<br />
father <strong>and</strong> sexual abuse at the h<strong>and</strong>s of a<br />
trusted community leader. He later found<br />
solace in running an animal sanctuary<br />
for senior <strong>and</strong> special-needs pets, but the<br />
pressure of caring for over 100 animals<br />
took its toll on his already-tenuous mental<br />
health. “My self-care went out the window,”<br />
he recalls. Fortunately, first responders<br />
were able to bring Bartley down from<br />
the precipice <strong>and</strong> get him the help he so<br />
desperately needed.<br />
Bartley is now a public speaker <strong>and</strong><br />
mental health advocate (davidwoodsbartley.<br />
com)—using stories of his experiences with<br />
animals to help destigmatize mental illness<br />
<strong>and</strong> reach out to those struggling to go<br />
from “mental hellness to mental wellness.”<br />
He also serves on numerous community<br />
<strong>and</strong> nonprofit boards, including the Placer<br />
County Mental Health Alcohol <strong>and</strong> Drug<br />
Advisory Board (MHADAB), the National<br />
Storytelling Network’s Healing Story<br />
Alliance, <strong>and</strong> Bread of Life, a communitybenefit<br />
educational organization. For Bartley,<br />
it’s all about spreading a message of hope.<br />
“My life was saved, <strong>and</strong> now my purpose is<br />
to be a beneficial presence in the world,” he<br />
shares. “I want people to know it’s possible to<br />
achieve mental health.”<br />

<strong>Folsom</strong> Parks <strong>and</strong> Recreation<br />
Winter Wonderl<strong>and</strong> by LESLEY MILLER<br />
Amagical winter wonderl<strong>and</strong> awaits guests<br />
at the <strong>Folsom</strong> City Zoo Sanctuary’s ninth<br />
annual Wild Nights <strong>and</strong> Holiday Lights<br />
event. Many hours of work by volunteers<br />
<strong>and</strong> city staff went into installing the<br />
lights, decorations, <strong>and</strong> displays that<br />
have transformed the zoo into a winter<br />
wonderl<strong>and</strong>. Attendees can expect thous<strong>and</strong>s of feet of bright,<br />
colorful light str<strong>and</strong>s, countless sparkling ornaments <strong>and</strong><br />
trees (donated by Bambi’s Tree Lot), lighted animal figures,<br />
<strong>and</strong> seasonal displays. The highly talented technical theater<br />
students from <strong>Folsom</strong> High School’s drama department even<br />
created a Sierra snowscape that’s on display at the canid deck.<br />
In order to enhance the experience for both visitors <strong>and</strong><br />
animals alike, zookeepers provide enrichment—special<br />
treats or food tucked into specially wrapped boxes or other<br />
containers—for some of the creatures; what’s more, docents<br />
are on h<strong>and</strong> to share their knowledge <strong>and</strong> provide fun facts<br />
<strong>and</strong> animal anecdotes. The event also provides a chance to<br />
see how many of the animals behave after dark.<br />
The new Barnyard Experience serves as the event’s entrance<br />
where guests are invited to visit with animals like Gus the<br />
horse <strong>and</strong> miniature donkeys Rosie <strong>and</strong> Hallie. A special seat<br />
awaits Santa Claus, who will drop by as his busy schedule<br />
permits. The zoo mascot, Santa Paws, is also available each<br />
night to pose for photo ops, as local caroling groups <strong>and</strong><br />
musicians bring the merry sounds of the season. Kids <strong>and</strong><br />
adults can also avail of the <strong>Folsom</strong> Valley Railway miniature<br />
live steam train, which provides special nighttime rides.<br />
The best part? All proceeds benefit the animals at <strong>Folsom</strong><br />
City Zoo Sanctuary.<br />

CATCH ALL<br />
Tots<br />
for Toys<br />
Photo courtesy of <strong>Folsom</strong> Historic District Association.<br />
Head to <strong>Folsom</strong>’s Historic District on <strong>December</strong> 8 from<br />
1-5 p.m. as they host their second annual Tots for<br />
Toys. That’s right: tater tots for donated toys! “Toys<br />
for Tots is a beloved organization that works to ensure<br />
all kids have a gift on Christmas,” explains <strong>Folsom</strong><br />
Historic District Association’s Executive Director Judy<br />
Collinsworth. And when you donate a toy to Toys<br />
for Tots at a participating business, you’ll receive a<br />
complimentary order of tater tots. “Spread some joy<br />
<strong>and</strong> eat some mighty tasty tater tots along the way!”<br />
continues Collinsworth. Last year, Brian Knadle of Marly<br />
<strong>and</strong> Moo suggested the idea of giving away tater tots<br />
to those who donated Christmas toys for children in<br />
need; Matt Garrido from Heckle Alehouse came up with<br />
the name, <strong>and</strong> each participating business collected an<br />
entire barrel of toys. This year, they’re hoping to exceed<br />
the donations. Participating restaurants include Marly<br />
<strong>and</strong> Moo, Hacienda Del Rio, Snooks Chocolate Factory<br />
<strong>and</strong> Heckle Alehouse. Bring in one toy per business,<br />
which, yes, means multiple orders of tater tots! The<br />
benefits are endless: Tots receive toys, you receive tots,<br />
<strong>and</strong> our local businesses thrive. —Emily Peter<br />

Ronnie<br />
Frostad<br />
A Monumental<br />
Success<br />
by HEATHER L. BECKER<br />
Ronnie Frostad grew<br />
up in an artistic<br />
home. Her mother, a<br />
talented multimedia<br />
painter, was the<br />
inspiration <strong>and</strong><br />
influence behind<br />
her creative passion. Although fear of<br />
being a starving artist lead her to pursue<br />
a formal education in dentistry, Frostad’s<br />
artistic ardor eventually found her<br />
studying sculpture at Sierra College <strong>and</strong><br />
UC Davis. The artist—who also teaches<br />
weekend workshops on basic sculpting<br />
techniques—is now the only woman<br />
in the country to own a bronze casting<br />
foundry: Frostad Atelier. “I’m definitely<br />
a woman in a man’s world, <strong>and</strong> I was<br />
not well-received in the early days,”<br />
shares Frostad. “I think because mostly<br />
men dominated my position, I took<br />
risks not fully underst<strong>and</strong>ing the high<br />
consequences that hung in the shadows.”<br />
Frostad’s newest work is an eight-foot<br />
personal piece that will debut this spring<br />
at her gallery, which is open to the public<br />
every second Saturday.<br />

HLB: WHAT’S THE STORY BEHIND FROSTAD<br />
ATELIER?<br />
RF: When I took one of my sculptures to<br />
a small foundry to be cast, my thirst for<br />
bronze began, <strong>and</strong> I’m not sure the thirst<br />
can be quenched in one lifetime. In 1998,<br />
Frostad Atelier Foundry was born in Rocklin’s<br />
Stanford Ranch Business Park. I began with<br />
a crew of one <strong>and</strong> breathed, ate, <strong>and</strong> slept<br />
with bronze. When I outgrew the facility, I<br />
moved to the former Air Force foundry at<br />
McClellan Park, which was 26,000 square feet<br />
<strong>and</strong> had overhead cranes left from World War<br />
II. This allowed me to grow <strong>and</strong> construct<br />
monumental size sculptures for artists from<br />
all over the U.S. After 10 years at McClellan,<br />
I decided to build a more state-of-the-art<br />
foundry <strong>and</strong> gallery in North Natomas.<br />
HLB: HOW DO YOU FEEL BEING ONE OF FEW WOMEN IN YOUR INDUSTRY?<br />
RF: New clients often expect to hear a man’s voice when they call for the first time because<br />
of my name. Foundry work is hot, dangerous, <strong>and</strong> labor-intensive—we pour molten bronze<br />
at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit <strong>and</strong> have forklifts <strong>and</strong> cranes for extremely heavy lifting. Over<br />
the years, I trained myself through on-the-job experience to the point where I can consult<br />
artists, both men <strong>and</strong> women, about bronze casting their work. I feel I’m now accepted as<br />
an equal in the field.<br />
HLB: WHAT’S YOUR “WHOLE LOTTA LOVE” PROGRAM?<br />
RF: “Whole Lotta Love” began as a tribute to my first-born gr<strong>and</strong>son Tyler, 13 years ago. I<br />
wanted to preserve his cute baby h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> feet forever. My husb<strong>and</strong> is a dentist, <strong>and</strong> we<br />
took impressions of Tyler’s h<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> foot <strong>and</strong> formed wax replicas. The replicas were then<br />
cast in bronze <strong>and</strong> finished, patined, <strong>and</strong> mounted on a base producing a living sculpture.<br />
We now offer the service to other parents/gr<strong>and</strong>parents, in addition to making sculptures<br />
of couples holding h<strong>and</strong>s, dentists <strong>and</strong> physicians holding instruments, <strong>and</strong> even replicas<br />
of dogs’ paws.<br />
HLB: HOW DO YOU SEEK INSPIRATION?<br />
RF: My inspiration is everyday life—it’s not always something visual. Sometimes a smell<br />
can ignite a memory <strong>and</strong> inspire an idea. I think artists are born with a sixth sense that<br />
helps us to see, hear, <strong>and</strong> feel on a different level. frostadatelier.com<br />

(side)<br />
Your Guide to Winter Sports<br />
by KOURTNEY JASON<br />
E<br />
ven if the temperature is low, you don’t<br />
have to move your workout indoors.<br />
Whether you stay in town or drive to the<br />
mountains, our area offers an array of<br />
fun winter activities that double as great<br />
workouts, from skiing <strong>and</strong> snowboarding to ice-skating <strong>and</strong><br />
even curling.<br />
Jason Collin, a physical therapist at the Barton Center for<br />
Orthopedics & Wellness as well as a winter sports enthusiast,<br />
says: “Studies show that spending time outside, in nature,<br />
reduces stress levels, helps balance metabolism, lowers blood<br />
pressure, <strong>and</strong> creates a better workout.” Collin adds, “For all<br />
activities, remember that cold temperatures can cause your<br />
body to lose heat faster than your body can produce it. As you<br />
head outside, always dress properly, stay hydrated, know your<br />
surroundings, <strong>and</strong> use common sense.” Grab your skies, ice<br />
skates, or a sled, <strong>and</strong> have a (snow)ball this season!<br />
1 ICE-SKATING<br />
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: Brian Jackson, owner of the <strong>Folsom</strong><br />
Historic District Ice Rink, says you can burn 250-670 calories ice-skating<br />
for 30 minutes, though it depends on how much you weigh <strong>and</strong> how<br />
fast you’re skating. “Ice-skating is a great way to increase your cardio<br />
while having fun gliding on the ice <strong>and</strong> listening to music,” he says.<br />
“You’ll improve your balance as well, so don’t be surprised if you feel<br />
it in your thighs, lower back, <strong>and</strong> stomach muscles.”<br />
TRY IT: <strong>Folsom</strong> Historic District Ice Rink (200 Wool Street, <strong>Folsom</strong>, 916-<br />
936-4410, folsomicerink.com); Skatetown Ice Arena (1009 Orl<strong>and</strong>o<br />
Avenue, Roseville, 916-783-8550, skatetown.biz)<br />
BEGINNER TIP: “If you’re a beginner, there are some balance techniques<br />
that can be practiced at home or school, such as st<strong>and</strong>ing on one foot<br />
while doing tasks such as preparing dinner or talking to your friends.<br />
Do this for as long as you can before switching feet <strong>and</strong> as often as you<br />
can before skating. While you might look a little silly, who will have the<br />
last laugh when skating?” Jackson says.<br />

CROSS-COUNTRY<br />
SKIING<br />
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: Alpenglow<br />
Sports staffer Janice Pilkington says crosscountry<br />
skiing (also known as Nordic skiing)<br />
is one of the best aerobic activities you can<br />
do. It’s an endurance sport that’s good for<br />
the heart <strong>and</strong> lungs, similar to running or<br />
cycling. It can burn 500-1,000 calories per<br />
hour, depending on whether the trail is flat<br />
or uphill.<br />
TRY IT: Tahoe Cross-Country Ski Area (925<br />
Country Club Drive, Tahoe City, 530-583-5475,<br />
tahoexc.org); Royal Gorge Cross-Country Ski<br />
Resort (9411 Pahatsi Road, Soda Springs, 530-<br />
426-3871, royalgorge.com)<br />
BEGINNER TIP: “Even if you’re an avid downhill<br />
skier, don’t expect to be a great cross-country<br />
skier. Soft boots <strong>and</strong> edgeless skis provide<br />
a challenge for all first-timers. When in<br />
doubt, hire an instructor,” says Sean Kristl,<br />
director of sales <strong>and</strong> marketing at Alpenglow<br />
Expeditions.<br />
3<br />
DOWNHILL<br />
SKIING<br />
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: Skiing<br />
improves your strength <strong>and</strong> balance,<br />
Pilkington says. “When you do longer runs<br />
without stopping, you’ll also notice that you’re<br />
a bit out of breath,” she says. “If you choose to<br />
be really adventurous <strong>and</strong> go backcountry<br />
skiing—where you put climbing skins on<br />
your skis <strong>and</strong> go uphill outside the resorts<br />
under your own power—you’ll get a great<br />
aerobic workout.” Kristl adds that downhill<br />
skiing builds leg muscles <strong>and</strong> core strength,<br />
<strong>and</strong> you can burn 300-500 calories in an hour,<br />
depending on the intensity. “Powder-skiing<br />
will burn more calories; groomed skiing will<br />
burn less,” he says.<br />
TRY IT: Sierra-at-Tahoe (1111 Sierra-at-<br />
Tahoe Road, Twin Bridges, 530-659-7453,<br />
sierraattahoe.com); Sugar Bowl Resort (629<br />
Sugar Bowl Road, Norden, 530-426-9000,<br />
sugarbowl.com); Northstar California (5001<br />
Northstar Drive, Truckee, 530-562-2267,<br />
northstarcalifornia.com); Squaw Valley-<br />
Alpine Meadows (1960 Squaw Valley Road,<br />
Olympic Valley, 800-403-0206, squawalpine.<br />

Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, 775-586-<br />
7000, skiheavenly.com); Kirkwood Mountain<br />
Resort (1501 Kirkwood Meadows Drive,<br />
Kirkwood, 209-258-6000, kirkwood.com)<br />
BEGINNER TIP: Pilkington recommends,<br />
newcomers take advantage of [a resort's]<br />
packages that [typically] include lift tickets<br />
with rentals <strong>and</strong> lessons. “The resorts offer<br />
them at discounts because they want you to<br />
come back <strong>and</strong> know your experience will<br />
be better if you take a lesson <strong>and</strong> have good<br />
equipment.”<br />
4<br />
SNOWSHOEING<br />
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: “Similar to<br />
hiking or running, snowshoeing is<br />
a fantastic cardiovascular<br />
workout. Deeper snow<br />
makes it more difficult<br />
<strong>and</strong> a harder workout,<br />
while sturdy snow<br />
underfoot makes it<br />
drastically easier,”<br />
Kristl says. Depending<br />
on pace <strong>and</strong> snow type,<br />
a snowshoer can burn<br />
between 500-1,000 calories per hour.<br />
TRY IT: California Sno-Parks, including Donner<br />
Summit (near Truckee off I-80), Blackwood<br />
Canyon (near Tahoe City off Highway 89),<br />
Carson Pass (off Highway 88), Echo Lake (off<br />
Highway 50), Iron Mountain (off Highway<br />
88 near Kirkwood ski area), Lake Alpine (off<br />
Highway 4), Meiss Meadow (off Highway<br />
88 near Carson Pass), Spicer Reservoir (off<br />
Highway 4), Taylor Creek (off Highway 89 near<br />
Fallen Leaf Lake), <strong>and</strong> Yuba Pass (off Highway<br />
49)<br />
BEGINNER TIP: “Hiking boots with a pair of<br />
warm wool socks work well for footwear.<br />
Snowshoes come in a variety of sizes <strong>and</strong><br />
materials. The bigger you are, the bigger<br />
the surface area you need to keep you from<br />
sinking. Also, deeper/softer snow requires a<br />
bigger snowshoe,” Pilkington says. “Going out<br />
in deep, untracked snow is very physically<br />
dem<strong>and</strong>ing. Most people try to find a trail<br />
that’s been groomed at a Nordic skiing center<br />
or a packed snowmobile trail.”<br />
5 SNOWBOARDING<br />
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: Nadia<br />
Guerriero, vice president <strong>and</strong> general<br />
manager at Northstar California, says<br />
snowboarding, like skiing, is a full-body<br />
activity, which means doing it requires<br />
feeling the position of different body<br />
parts <strong>and</strong> having an awareness of the<br />
effort that goes into moving those parts.<br />
It can burn between 300-600 calories an<br />
hour, depending on how hard you work.<br />
TRY IT: Sierra-at-Tahoe (1111 Sierra-At-<br />
Tahoe Road, Twin Bridges, 530-659-7453,<br />
sierraattahoe.com); Sugar Bowl Resort (629<br />
Sugar Bowl Road, Norden, 530-426-9000,<br />
sugarbowl.com); Northstar California (5001<br />
Northstar Drive, Truckee, 530-562-2267,<br />
northstarcalifornia.com); Squaw Valley-<br />
DECEMBER <strong>2018</strong> // stylefedh.com 35
health & wellness<br />
Alpine Meadows (1960 Squaw Valley Road,<br />
Olympic Valley, 800-403-0206, squawalpine.<br />
com); Heavenly Mountain Resort (4080 Lake<br />
Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, 775-586-<br />
7000, skiheavenly.com); Kirkwood Mountain<br />
Resort (1501 Kirkwood Meadows Drive,<br />
Kirkwood, 209-258-6000, kirkwood.com)<br />
BEGINNER TIP: Have a professional coach you,<br />
Guerriero says. “Join a small group or private<br />
lesson from a certified instructor to learn<br />
the basics. Not only will this save you time,<br />
frustration, <strong>and</strong> a strained relationship, but<br />
you’ll also feel accomplished <strong>and</strong> confident<br />
on the mountain.” She also says to drink<br />
water, as many first-timers aren’t acclimated<br />
to performing physical activity at a higher<br />
elevation. “Water is the key to helping your<br />
body get used to the altitude <strong>and</strong> have a great<br />
day on the mountain.”<br />
6 SLEDDING<br />
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: “Sledding<br />
is fun,” Collin says. “It doesn’t require fancy<br />
or expensive equipment, making it more<br />
accessible <strong>and</strong> affordable. Plus, the walk up<br />
that hill each time is good for your legs <strong>and</strong><br />
your heart.” Sledding for 30 minutes on a<br />
medium-sized hill burns about 240 calories.<br />
TRY IT: California Sno-Parks, including Donner<br />
Summit (near Truckee off I-80), Blackwood<br />
Canyon (near Tahoe City off Highway 89),<br />
Carson Pass (off Highway 88), Echo Lake (off<br />
Highway 50), Iron Mountain (off Highway<br />
88 near Kirkwood ski area), Lake Alpine (off<br />
Highway 4), Meiss Meadow (off Highway<br />
88 near Carson Pass), Spicer Reservoir (off<br />
Highway 4), Taylor Creek (off Highway 89 near<br />
Fallen Leaf Lake), <strong>and</strong> Yuba Pass (off Highway<br />
49)<br />
BEGINNER TIP: “Sledding has risks that aren’t<br />
always obvious,” he warns. “It’s important to<br />
check out the environment before sledding,<br />
because sleds pick up speed quickly <strong>and</strong> don’t<br />
steer well. Look for any obstacles, such as<br />
trees, rocks, <strong>and</strong> people. If possible, sled at a<br />
resort where an appropriate sledding slope<br />
has been identified.”<br />
7<br />
ICE<br />
HOCKEY<br />
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: Susan<br />
Sweetser, a spokesperson at Skatetown<br />
Ice Arena, says ice hockey develops<br />
endurance <strong>and</strong> the cardiovascular system,<br />
boosts metabolism, is a full-body workout,<br />
enhances muscular strength, develops<br />
h<strong>and</strong>-eye coordination, improves body<br />
coordination <strong>and</strong> balance, develops<br />
social skills <strong>and</strong> the spirit of team work,<br />
improves communication, <strong>and</strong> boosts<br />
brain <strong>and</strong> mental acuity. Calories burned<br />
can depend on how much you weigh, how<br />
fast you move, <strong>and</strong> how hard you play. For<br />
example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you<br />
can burn approximately 285 calories in<br />
30 minutes.<br />
TRY IT: <strong>Folsom</strong> Historic District Ice Rink<br />
(200 Wool Street, <strong>Folsom</strong>, 916-936-4410,<br />
folsomicerink.com); Skatetown Ice Arena<br />
(1009 Orl<strong>and</strong>o Avenue, Roseville, 916-783-<br />
8550, skatetown.biz)<br />
BEGINNER TIP: Ryan Frisch, a local hockey<br />
player, shares three tips to those interested<br />
in picking up the sport. “Make sure to<br />
invest in a good-fitting pair of skates—they<br />
don’t need to be top-of-the-line, but go to<br />
a pro shop <strong>and</strong> have them fit you properly.<br />
Second, join a ‘learn-to-play’ hockey class<br />
at a local rink—this is a low-pressure way<br />
to learn the game with others in the same<br />
situation. And third, play as much as you<br />
can. There are drop-in pickup sessions <strong>and</strong><br />
skill sessions offered where you can finetune<br />
your skating <strong>and</strong> your skills.”<br />
8 Curling<br />
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: Sweetser<br />
says curling is an aerobic workout,<br />
increasing your heart rate <strong>and</strong> improving<br />
the cardiovascular system. “You can put<br />
on about two miles walking up <strong>and</strong> down<br />
the ice during a game,” she says. “Plus, the<br />
sweeping motion involved in directing the<br />
rock increases heart rate <strong>and</strong> improves your<br />
cardiovascular system.” It also strengthens<br />
your muscles, improves flexibility, <strong>and</strong> can<br />
be done by anyone. Curling burns a lot<br />
of calories—356 calories an hour for an<br />
average man <strong>and</strong> 304 for a woman—yet<br />
because you’re playing on ice, you don’t<br />
perspire as much, she says.<br />
TRY IT: Skatetown Ice Arena (1009 Orl<strong>and</strong>o<br />
Avenue, Roseville, 916-783-8550, skatetown.<br />
biz)<br />
BEGINNER TIP: “Start at a learn-to-curl clinic<br />
(the Wine Country Curling Club hosts<br />
them year-round) where you’ll get an<br />
overview of the game, etiquette <strong>and</strong> on-ice<br />
safety, learn delivery basics <strong>and</strong> sweeping,<br />
<strong>and</strong> play a short game (if time <strong>and</strong> space<br />
permit),” she says.<br />

Deck the Halls<br />
4 Tips for Effortless Entertaining<br />
by KERRIE L. KELLY, FASID<br />
When it comes to the holidays, I’m always looking for a thoughtful,<br />
polished aesthetic that’s simple to put together <strong>and</strong> any type<br />
of shortcut that allows for effortless entertaining. Read on for<br />
my favorite holiday hacks that enable you to have a stylish yet<br />
stress-free, beautiful season.<br />
1<br />
INVEST IN INVITES<br />
Personal paper invitations via<br />
individual cards or boxed sets are always<br />
best. While digital invites are convenient,<br />
a paper invitation makes guests feel<br />
special. What’s more, they set the tone for<br />
your event <strong>and</strong> add a personal touch for<br />
those receiving them. Coordinate<br />
stamps for the season <strong>and</strong> send off.<br />
Outside of food prep (<strong>and</strong> I say enlist a<br />
caterer or incorporate some ready-made<br />
foods!), this is the most difficult thing<br />
you’ll do in preparing for your party—it’s<br />
all downhill from here!<br />
2<br />
DRESS (THE TABLE) TO IMPRESS<br />
With sweet, nostalgic charm,<br />
elements of holiday<br />
collections can be styled<br />
multiple ways to achieve<br />
many different looks. A<br />
palette of traditional reds,<br />
greens, <strong>and</strong> jewel tones<br />
quickly creates a playful<br />
yet sophisticated<br />
vibe—perfect for an<br />
elegant Christmas<br />
dinner or vibrant<br />
holiday party. Reusable<br />

DON’T FORGET THE<br />
FAVORS<br />
Incorporating recipe cards can easily become the perfect guest favor.<br />

your favorite dessert. Filling out the cards is an ideal activity for<br />

in history<br />
Water<br />
Works<br />
Horatio G. (H.G.) Livermore arrived in California in 1850<br />
banking on gold to make his fortune. What he learned instead<br />
was how to turn water to gold.<br />
In the early 1860s, H.G. <strong>and</strong> his sons, Horatio Putnam<br />
(H.P.) <strong>and</strong> Charles Edward, gained a controlling interest<br />
in the Natoma Water <strong>and</strong> Mining Company, which was<br />
organized in 1853 to divert water from the American River<br />
to mining camps. The Livermores had a gr<strong>and</strong>er vision for<br />
the water, however.<br />
H.G. was from New Engl<strong>and</strong> where water wheels<br />
were used to operate factories <strong>and</strong> mills. He envisioned<br />
creating a water-powered industrial center in <strong>Folsom</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> made plans to build a sawmill, which required the<br />
construction of a dam <strong>and</strong> canal.<br />
He negotiated the first labor contract between a water<br />
company <strong>and</strong> the state of California in 1868. In exchange<br />
for 350 acres of property the state needed to build a<br />
prison, he received 30,000 hours of convict labor to build<br />
the dam. The first <strong>Folsom</strong> Dam was completed in 1891.<br />
H.G. never saw the completion of the dam or sawmill,<br />
however. He passed away in 1879, <strong>and</strong> his sons took over the business. The sawmill<br />
didn’t prosper, but the younger Livermores realized that instead of using water to<br />
power manufacturing, it could be used to power generators to create electricity.<br />
H.P., his brother Charles, <strong>and</strong> Albert Gallatin of Huntington-Hopkins Hardware<br />
created the Sacramento <strong>El</strong>ectric Power <strong>and</strong> Light Company in 1892. They explored<br />
the market for electric streetcars, streetlights, <strong>and</strong> factories <strong>and</strong> the logistics of<br />
building a powerhouse in <strong>Folsom</strong> to supply those markets.<br />
In 1884, Thompson-Houston <strong>and</strong> Capital Gas companies began supplying<br />
limited electricity to Sacramento using small coal-burning steam engines. Most<br />

<strong>Folsom</strong> Powerhouse<br />
State Historic Park<br />
by JERRIE BEARD<br />
electricity being generated at the time was direct current, costly, <strong>and</strong><br />
could only be transmitted short distances. H.P. wanted to take<br />
advantage of new alternating current technology, which would<br />
allow electricity generated in <strong>Folsom</strong> to be transmitted to<br />
a substation in Sacramento 22 miles away. He received<br />
designs for the powerhouse from Westinghouse <strong>and</strong> General<br />
<strong>El</strong>ectric <strong>and</strong> chose to work with the latter because they were<br />
willing to put $20,000 in machinery <strong>and</strong> equipment into the<br />
powerhouse <strong>and</strong> help fund construction bonds.<br />
Work on the <strong>Folsom</strong> Powerhouse began. <strong>El</strong>ihu<br />
Thompson reworked four Edison directcurrent<br />
generators into alternating current<br />
generators. Transmission lines were run<br />
to a substation at Sixth <strong>and</strong> H Streets in<br />
Sacramento where the electricity would be<br />
converted to direct current <strong>and</strong> delivered<br />
to streetcars, which Livermore operated<br />
through a franchise.<br />
On July 11, 1895, at 5 p.m., crowds waited<br />
at the substation in Sacramento for the first<br />
transmission of power from <strong>Folsom</strong>. When<br />
the switch was thrown, nothing happened.<br />
Crossed wires were soon detected <strong>and</strong> repaired,<br />
but the second attempt at 2 a.m. produced a<br />
similar result. A governor controlling the speed<br />
of the powerhouse generator had broken. A<br />
replacement part was obtained from the<br />
Southern Pacific Railroad <strong>and</strong> at 4 a.m. on<br />
July 13, 1895, a 100-gun salute by the military<br />
detachment from Battery B shattered the<br />
morning hours announcing the arrival of the<br />
first electrical transmission from the <strong>Folsom</strong><br />
Powerhouse.<br />
According to the July 15, 1895, issue of the<br />
Sacramento Daily Union, the <strong>Folsom</strong> Powerhouse<br />
was the largest long-distance transmission<br />
plant in the world, while the <strong>Folsom</strong> Dam<br />
was the largest in the U.S. In the same article,<br />
F.O. Blackwell, an engineer from General<br />
<strong>El</strong>ectric, prognosticated that this cheap source<br />
of power would allow “this State to supply<br />
her own needs very largely, if not wholly in<br />
manufactured products.”<br />
The <strong>Folsom</strong> Powerhouse operated until 1952<br />
when the original <strong>Folsom</strong> Dam was destroyed<br />
during construction of the new dam. The<br />
powerhouse was donated to the State of<br />
California in 1958 <strong>and</strong> is open to the public<br />

SPECIAL AD SECTION
SPECIAL AD SECTION<br />
DID YOU KNOW<br />
Reversing Type 2 Diabetes<br />
More than 50% of<br />
Americans have<br />
been diagnosed<br />
with diabetes<br />
or pre-diabetes.<br />
While many<br />
believe that type 2<br />
diabetes is a chronic <strong>and</strong> progressive disease<br />
that patients will need to learn to live with<br />
<strong>and</strong> manage for the rest of their lives, it is, in<br />
fact, reversible. “Medications like insulin <strong>and</strong><br />
metformin will help manage the symptoms<br />
of diabetes, but lifestyle <strong>and</strong> diet changes<br />
can actually reverse the disease,” says Connie<br />
Burgeson, MD, Medical Director of Marshall<br />
Diabetes <strong>and</strong> Nutrition Education.<br />
The steps to reversal are simple, though they<br />
require discipline <strong>and</strong> willpower. Here are a<br />
few things you can do:<br />
• <strong>El</strong>iminate added sugar from your diet.<br />
Instead, use a natural sweetener like stevia in<br />
your morning coffee or tea.<br />
• Avoid refined carbohydrates, including rice,<br />
pasta <strong>and</strong> bread. Try a lower carb alternative<br />
like brown rice <strong>and</strong> zucchini noodles.<br />
• Be sure to include good quality, healthy fats<br />
in your daily routine. Snack on almonds or<br />
olives <strong>and</strong> add avocado to your salad.<br />
• Exercise. It’s recommended to get 30 minutes<br />
of exercise at least five days a week. This can<br />
be as simple as parking as far as possible from<br />
your office, taking the stairs instead of the<br />
Marshall Medical Center now offers professional continuous glucose monitoring (Pro CGM) for<br />
patients with diabetes. Pro CGM provides continuous insight into glucose levels <strong>and</strong> patterns<br />
throughout the day <strong>and</strong> night for gaining better control.<br />
The Pro CGM system is a small sensor placed on the back of your upper arm by your doctor. It<br />
records up to 14 days of continuous glucose data. Your doctor can then download the data to look<br />
at trends <strong>and</strong> patterns <strong>and</strong> then adjust your treatment plan to<br />
optimize the management of your diabetes.<br />
The Pro CGM sensor doesn’t replace regular self-testing of<br />
your blood glucose, so be sure to continue your usual routine<br />
<strong>and</strong> maintain a log of your readings, diet, exercise, <strong>and</strong> insulin<br />
injections.<br />
elevator, or doing squats while you wait for<br />
your dinner to cook.<br />
• Take a probiotic. Studies suggest a link<br />
between the state of the bacteria in your gut<br />
with type 2 diabetes.<br />
• Eat your veggies. Try to get five servings of<br />
different color vegetables each day.<br />
A key to success in this process is to start small.<br />
Choose one of the above recommendations<br />
<strong>and</strong> slowly add more. Changing all of your<br />
habits at once can be difficult to maintain in<br />
the long term.<br />
It’s important to listen to your body as well.<br />
There is not one magic solution that will<br />
work for everyone, so make sure you find the<br />
right combination of lifestyle changes that<br />
are right for you.<br />

BETTER CARE FOR YOU<br />
Many people<br />
don’t realize they<br />
have hearing loss<br />
until it becomes a<br />
problem<br />
Say What?<br />
High Tech Hearing Devices<br />
These are not your<br />
gr<strong>and</strong>father’s hearing<br />
aids. Today’s hearing<br />
device technology is now<br />
more powerful than ever.<br />
Marshall ENT & Hearing Center shares<br />
the following features <strong>and</strong> accessories that<br />
provide a more efficient <strong>and</strong> hassle-free<br />
experience.<br />
Rechargeability<br />
Several new models of hearing devices<br />
allow the convenience of rechargeable<br />
technology, meaning you never have<br />
to change a battery again. And the best<br />
news? You don’t have to purchase a br<strong>and</strong>new<br />
device. All you need to do is bring<br />
your device to Marshall’s Hearing Center<br />
for a simple switch of the battery door.<br />
This easy <strong>and</strong> convenient rechargeable<br />
technology provides a full day’s use with<br />
one overnight charge <strong>and</strong> allows you to<br />
hear without hassle. And if you happen<br />
to forget to charge your device one night,<br />
you can easily switch your rechargeable<br />
batteries out for disposables.<br />
TV Streamers<br />
TV streamers are a popular product<br />
for those with hearing loss <strong>and</strong> their<br />
families; they are used so everyone<br />
can have an enjoyable TV watching<br />
experience. These devices stream<br />
sound (some from as far as 23 feet<br />
away) straight to your hearing aids<br />
while your family <strong>and</strong> friends listen at<br />
a comfortable volume.<br />
Remote Microphones<br />
Remote microphones help those with<br />
hearing loss hear their conversation<br />
partner in noisy backgrounds <strong>and</strong><br />
from a distance. This device provides<br />
up to 62 percent more underst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
in noise compared to those without<br />
hearing loss. The microphone settings<br />
automatically adjust to the noise levels<br />
around you as well as the speaker.<br />
L<strong>and</strong>line Bluetooth Phone<br />
There are even cordless phones that<br />
automatically stream calls to your<br />
hearing aids, resulting in improved<br />
speech underst<strong>and</strong>ing. These devices<br />

Hearing Center.<br />
Services include a complete hearing profile<br />
<strong>and</strong> assessment as well as a medical<br />

COVER STORY<br />
When the Pain<br />
Won’t Go Away<br />
SPECIAL AD SECTION<br />
Gloria Evraiff knows pain. Born with<br />
pelvic deformities, she’s undergone<br />
20 major surgeries <strong>and</strong> suffers<br />
from chronic low back <strong>and</strong> pelvic<br />
pain. But that’s not all. She also<br />
suffers from kidney stones, bowel<br />
obstructions <strong>and</strong> bone pain from<br />
recently diagnosed bone cancer. All of her life, the pain has<br />
been constant.<br />
“Whenever I was hospitalized, they couldn’t manage my<br />
pain. The doctors looked at my history <strong>and</strong> would glaze<br />
over. When they saw I was already taking up to 300 mg of<br />
oxycodone they knew it would be dangerous to give me<br />
any more.” Oxycodone is a prescription drug used for the<br />
management of pain. It <strong>and</strong> others like it have a risk for<br />
abuse <strong>and</strong> addiction, which can lead to overdose <strong>and</strong> death.<br />
Every day in the U.S., more than 90 Americans die after<br />
overdosing on opioids—deeming the issue a national public<br />
health emergency.<br />
Chronic pain – one that persists over months or years – is<br />
an epidemic in this country. It is also difficult to address as<br />
people use different words to describe their pain. No one<br />
can truly know another’s pain because it’s subjective. “I<br />
was frustrated,” said Gloria,” I was taking too many opiates<br />
<strong>and</strong> no one was giving me a solution. I was in terrible shape<br />
from excessive opiate use. I needed a plan but no pain<br />
management doctors would see me.”<br />
“I needed a new primary care doctor <strong>and</strong> that’s how I found<br />
Dr. Jay at Marshall Medical Center. Going over my history,<br />
she was hesitant to treat my pain at first, saying she doesn’t<br />
deal with my level of pain prescriptions. She told me she was<br />

worried about me. She asked if I was<br />
open to trying a different type of pain<br />
management program. I believed she<br />
understood that I truly was in pain. I<br />
was confident we could work together<br />
<strong>and</strong> I wanted to try her plan.”<br />
Those dependent on opioids for pain<br />
management have<br />
options including<br />
treatment at<br />
Marshall’s new<br />
Clinically Assisted<br />
Recovery <strong>and</strong><br />
Education Services<br />
(CARES) clinic in<br />
Placerville. Headed<br />
by Loni Jay, MD,<br />
the clinic provides<br />
treatment with<br />
medications that<br />
not only address<br />
pain but helps<br />
lessen dependency<br />
<strong>and</strong> withdrawal<br />
symptoms. As part<br />
of the program,<br />
patients also receive<br />
counseling <strong>and</strong> a support system.<br />
Marshall CARES accepts <strong>El</strong> <strong>Dorado</strong><br />
County Medi-Cal <strong>and</strong> California<br />
Health <strong>and</strong> Wellness <strong>and</strong> most PPO<br />
insurance. For the uninsured or<br />
under-insured, grants are available to<br />
assist with cost, including gas cards to<br />
help with transportation.<br />
Recovery from opioid addiction is a<br />
long <strong>and</strong> challenging process <strong>and</strong> it’s<br />
essential that patients commit fully<br />
to their recovery. Not only must they<br />
overcome withdrawal, but also address<br />
co-occurring conditions such as<br />
depression, anger <strong>and</strong> anxiety, as well<br />
as change their behavior <strong>and</strong> lifestyle<br />
to avoid relapse. While some people<br />
find themselves buying pills or heroin<br />
off the street to get “high” <strong>and</strong> are stuck<br />
in this cycle of addiction, other people<br />
have come to long-term opioid use<br />
from their experience of chronic pain.<br />
While its known physical dependence<br />
is not the same as addiction, some of<br />
the same medications can still improve<br />
the quality of these patients’ lives.<br />
“After working with Dr. Jay for two<br />
years, I have gotten down to 10-20%<br />
of my previous prescription level. We<br />
got the total dosage down so that more<br />
painful flare ups can now be treated<br />
when I go into the hospital, which<br />
is important because of my ongoing<br />
conditions,” says Gloria.<br />
Adds Dr. Jay, “A<br />
big issue we need<br />
to overcome is the<br />
stigma of the disease<br />
of addiction as well<br />
as the stigma of<br />
chronic pain. The<br />
cases we see of opioid<br />
addiction often start<br />
as a prescription<br />
for acute or chronic<br />
pain that grows into<br />
a larger prescription,<br />
then purchasing<br />
pills off the street,<br />
<strong>and</strong> before you<br />
know it, the patient<br />
is buying heroin<br />
because it’s cheaper.<br />
As physicians, we have to be careful<br />
with our prescribing <strong>and</strong> be aware<br />
addiction is a medical disease<br />
process that deserves evidence-based<br />
treatment. For our patients with<br />
chronic pain, buprenorphine can<br />
often help them manage pain with<br />
much lower risk of overdose or the<br />
development of tolerance.<br />
Gloria agrees. “Buprenorphine more<br />
effectively manages my chronic <strong>and</strong><br />
acute pain. It really reduces my cycle<br />
of pain <strong>and</strong> withdrawal. That’s how<br />
I got down to the lower dosage. On<br />
the program, I can get medication for<br />
pain <strong>and</strong> I’m not high all day. I can<br />
function. I still have good days <strong>and</strong><br />
bad days, but I can drive, I can help<br />
my husb<strong>and</strong> with our business, I can<br />
take my dogs for a walk <strong>and</strong> I can do<br />
housework.”<br />
“With chronic pain, it is so important<br />
to find a doctor that recognizes the<br />
implications <strong>and</strong> complications. I have<br />
literally seen hundreds of doctors <strong>and</strong><br />
I’m really grateful I found Dr. Jay.”<br />

DID YOU KNOW<br />
Shingles:<br />
What You Need to Know<br />
You’ve probably seen the commercials on TV. If you had the chicken pox<br />
as a child, you have the shingles virus in your nerve cells. This fact can<br />
be unnerving. Shingles is a painful skin rash, typically localized in one<br />
wide stripe on one side of the body, with tingling or pain where the<br />
rash is.<br />
In most cases, the rash will heal within two-to-four weeks. However,<br />
for some, ongoing nerve pain can last months or even years.<br />
Now, there’s a new vaccine called Shingrix® that can fend off this unpleasant<br />
condition. The Centers for Disease Control <strong>and</strong> Prevention (CDC) recommend<br />
this vaccine for healthy adults over the age of 50. It’s a two dose vaccine, <strong>and</strong> will prevent<br />
shingles <strong>and</strong> its complications. Even if you’ve had shingles in the past or received a different<br />
shingles vaccine, you can still receive Shingrix to prevent recurrence.<br />
Contact your primary care physician to learn more about the vaccine today.<br />
Balancing Screen Time<br />
with Play Time<br />
Once such concern is screen addiction. Some children can<br />
become addicted to those tablets <strong>and</strong> end up playing games,<br />
educational or otherwise, instead of doing homework,<br />
sleeping, or interacting with friends <strong>and</strong> family. Another<br />
concern is blue light. This spectrum of light emitted by<br />
tablets, smart phones, <strong>and</strong> even televisions, can have a<br />
detrimental effect on sleep patterns <strong>and</strong> eye sight.<br />
SPECIAL AD SECTION<br />
Screen time these days looks quite different than it did<br />
when we were growing up, different even than it did ten<br />
years ago. It used to mean plopping your kid in front of<br />
Sesame Street or Teletubbies while we quickly scramble to do the<br />
breakfast dishes or throw a load of laundry in the washer.<br />
No longer is “screen time” a passive activity. With the invention<br />
of tablets <strong>and</strong> thous<strong>and</strong>s of apps, kids of all ages can play<br />
interactive games that help them build skills like reading,<br />
math <strong>and</strong> more. But there are still some concerns about too<br />
much screen time with kids.<br />
So while screen time isn’t as “bad” as it used to be, it’s still<br />
important to create boundaries for your kids. Limit the<br />
number of hours each day they’re using tablets <strong>and</strong> limit any<br />
screen time for the hour before bedtime.<br />
And don’t forget about play time. “Physical activity reduces<br />
children’s risk of obesity <strong>and</strong> diabetes along with improving<br />
muscle <strong>and</strong> bone strength. That’s true for adults too!” says<br />
Bethany Krieger of Marshall Whole Child Health in <strong>El</strong><br />
<strong>Dorado</strong> <strong>Hills</strong>. Organized sports can be a great way for kids<br />
to get that physical activity, as well as provide important<br />
interaction with other children. Learning team work <strong>and</strong><br />
social skills are other important benefits of sports <strong>and</strong> play<br />
time for kids.<br />

The Importance<br />
of Early Detection<br />
About<br />
Marshall<br />
Medical<br />
Center’s<br />
Cancer<br />
Program<br />
A life-altering illness deserves<br />
comprehensive care. Accredited<br />
by both the American College<br />
of Surgeons (ACOS) <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Commission on Cancer (CoC),<br />
Marshall Hematology/Oncology<br />
offers a broad range of cancerfighting<br />
services – expert<br />
physicians, an infusion center, <strong>and</strong><br />
a certified oncology pharmacy – all<br />
under one roof.<br />
A<br />
ccording to the<br />
American Cancer<br />
Society, breast<br />
cancer is the most<br />
common cancer<br />
among American<br />
women, with<br />
the exception of skin cancers. The<br />
average risk of a woman in the United<br />
States developing breast cancer is<br />
approximately 12%, meaning there is<br />
a 1 in 8 chance that any given woman<br />
will develop it. It’s also important to<br />
note that breast cancer is not specific to<br />
women. Instances of breast cancer in<br />
men are on the rise as well.<br />
Two of the most important strategies for<br />
a good outcome from breast cancer are<br />
early detection <strong>and</strong> seeking the most<br />
advanced treatments available. When<br />
breast cancer is found early, it’s usually<br />
small <strong>and</strong> has yet to spread to other<br />
parts of the body, thereby making it<br />
more easily treatable.<br />
It is crucial for women to know how<br />
their breasts normally look <strong>and</strong> feel so<br />
they can easily detect changes which<br />
could be indications of breast cancer.<br />
The most common symptom is a new<br />
lump or mass. Other symptoms include:<br />
• swelling of all or part of the breast<br />
• skin irritation, puckering or dimpling<br />
• breast or nipple pain<br />
• nipple retraction or change in position of<br />
the nipple<br />
• redness, scaliness, or thickening of the<br />
nipple or breast skin<br />
• nipple discharge<br />
• swelling or lumps in the lymph nodes<br />
under the arm or around the collar bone<br />
• any change in the size, shape or feel of<br />
your breast<br />
If you notice any of these symptoms, call<br />
your doctor to schedule an appointment.<br />
Your doctor will do an exam of your breast<br />
<strong>and</strong> ask you about other symptoms you<br />
may be experiencing, or suggest you get a<br />
mammogram for further exploration.<br />
Those who are under-insured can receive<br />
free mammogram assistance at Marshall<br />
Medical Center through the Cancer<br />
Resource Center in Cameron Park. Call<br />
530-672-7050 for more information.<br />
Since 2005, Marshall Medical<br />
Center’s Cancer Program has been<br />
accredited with commendation by<br />
the American College of Surgeons,<br />
Commission on Cancer (CoC).<br />
This means our program has<br />
been rigorously evaluated <strong>and</strong><br />
ensures that we meet or exceed the<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ards established by the CoC.<br />
Marshall’s Cancer Program is allinclusive,<br />
meaning that all medical<br />
<strong>and</strong> support services needed for<br />
effective treatment of all cancers we<br />
treat is available close by.<br />
Marshall’s Cancer Program is<br />
<strong>El</strong> <strong>Dorado</strong> County’s patientcentered<br />
cancer treatment hub,<br />
where doctors remain on-call 24<br />
hours a day <strong>and</strong> provide referrals<br />

Surprise. This was my first impression<br />
as I walked through the doors of <strong>El</strong><br />
<strong>Dorado</strong> <strong>Hills</strong>’ newest Asian restaurant.<br />
White leather chairs, colored LED lights<br />
illuminating Chinese-themed art, <strong>and</strong> a modern<br />
mix of light <strong>and</strong> dark wood joined the sounds of<br />
four chefs working at a feverish pace in the open<br />
kitchen. The result? An über-contemporary, cool,<br />
<strong>and</strong> lively take on family-style Chinese dining.<br />
My wife <strong>and</strong> I started with a fun twist on one<br />
of her favorites: honey walnut prawns. In this<br />
case, the crowd-pleasing plate was served as<br />
a Singapore-style salad. Although I adore the<br />
entrée, it can be heavy <strong>and</strong> doesn’t reheat well<br />
as leftovers; conversely, the salad was light <strong>and</strong><br />
boasted all the favorable textures <strong>and</strong> flavors<br />
found in the original with plenty of fresh veggies<br />
(lettuce, carrots, cucumber, <strong>and</strong> red cabbage) to<br />
cut through the protein’s deep-fried richness <strong>and</strong><br />
creamy, sweet sauce.<br />
The shrimp dumpling appetizer—served in a<br />
bamboo steamer basket with eight silky, plump,<br />
shrimp-stuffed bundles of delicate delights—was<br />
an instant hit. Mix a little chili paste <strong>and</strong> soy<br />
sauce tableside, <strong>and</strong> everyone will be fighting for<br />
the last one.<br />
Next, we moved to the spicy side with an<br />
order of Sichuan shrimp—a sizzling portion of<br />
prawns alongside colorful bell peppers, bamboo<br />
shoots, onions, shiitake mushrooms, zucchini,<br />
<strong>and</strong> (a curious but welcome South of the Border<br />
addition) chayote in a fiery-sweet Sichuan sauce.<br />
A quick note here about Szechuan <strong>and</strong> Sichuan;<br />
in short, they’re interchangeable <strong>and</strong> both refer<br />
to the Sichuan province in China—famous for the<br />
wonderfully piquant Sichuan peppercorn <strong>and</strong> a<br />
cooking style featuring intense flavoring of garlic<br />
<strong>and</strong> chili peppers. If you’re brave, ask for it SPICY!<br />
Once again acquiescing to my wife’s tastes,<br />
we ordered lemon chicken, her “safety dish.”<br />
She’s not a very adventurous diner, so the fried<br />
chicken breast in a luscious lemony glaze hit the<br />
mark for her timid taste buds who weren’t willing<br />
to venture in or near the red (hot) zone.<br />
Thankfully, all of their spicy dishes are defined<br />
by a red chili pepper on the menu, ensuring it’s<br />
easy to avoid or invite the heat. What’s more,<br />
each lunch special is served with soup <strong>and</strong> your<br />
choice of white rice, fried rice, chow mein, or<br />
brown rice—meaning there’s plenty of food <strong>and</strong><br />
flavors to go ’round.<br />
Stop in for lunch or dinner <strong>and</strong> see what<br />
surprises await—you’ll be glad you did.<br />

FOODIE<br />
FIND<br />
by JULIE RYAN<br />
The Dive Burgers & Brews // If you’re searching for the perfect burger joint, I found<br />
it. Nestled in a strip mall across the street from Sierra College, you’ll find The Dive Burgers & Brews. Though<br />
unassuming on the exterior, it has charming décor (reclaimed wood <strong>and</strong> galvanized metal), a super friendly<br />
staff, <strong>and</strong> seriously good food. They have an extensive menu, which can pose to be problematic for indecisive<br />
palates, so I left my choice up to the helpful lady taking my order. She recommended the Redneck Burger,<br />
which features fresh, 100-percent certified Angus beef, chopped bacon, melty cheddar, sautéed mushrooms,<br />
fried green beans (which I initially questioned but came to love), redneck slaw, jalapeños, <strong>and</strong> beast sauce.<br />
I loved every messy mouthful of it <strong>and</strong> found the buttery brioche bun to be the perfect, pillowy soft vessel<br />
for all the fresh fixin’s. My mom had the Lamb Burger <strong>and</strong> said she would definitely order it again; <strong>and</strong> my<br />
husb<strong>and</strong> had the Dive Burger, which came with an over-easy egg <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong>ed napkins…<strong>and</strong> a hearty<br />
appetite. We shared fried pickles, house fries, <strong>and</strong> sweet potato fries—all were easily above average—but next<br />
time I’m digging into their namesake Dive Fries; they’re covered in nacho cheese sauce, house slaw, redneck<br />
sauce, sour cream, <strong>and</strong> jalapeños, so they’re destined to be delicious. The eatery also serves s<strong>and</strong>wiches,<br />
salads, <strong>and</strong> craft beer from the region’s best breweries. Bring your appetite, <strong>and</strong> get ready to “dive” into<br />
one of the best burgers you’ll ever have! 5050 Rocklin Road, Rocklin, 916-824-1411, dineatthedive.com.<br />

THE HOT LIST<br />
Slice of Heaven<br />
6 Best Pies compiled by STYLE STAFFERS // photos by DANTE FONTANA<br />
Raise your h<strong>and</strong> if you agree that everything tastes better in a buttery, flaky crust. Whether your palate<br />
prefers sweet or savory pies, we have a local slice you’ll want to savor. In no particular order…<br />
Sweetie Pie’s<br />
Fat’s Asia Bistro<br />
Ikeda’s California Country Market<br />
Hog Wild Bar-B-Que<br />
Karen’s Bakery<br />
La Provence Restaurant & Terrace<br />
“There isn’t much that<br />
hasn’t been said about the<br />
olallieberry pies at Sweetie<br />
Pie’s in Placerville, but I’m<br />
still going to say my piece. No<br />
matter how many other pies<br />
I try, I keep going back to<br />
the Peach-Olallieberry<br />
Pie that’s a notch above<br />
the regular olallieberry.<br />
Deep purple berries <strong>and</strong><br />
golden yellow peaches come<br />
together in this sweet-butnot-sickeningly-so<br />
pie that’s<br />
a true treasure. Try not to<br />
judge when I lick the plate<br />
clean.” sweetiepies.biz<br />
“I’d heard of Fat’s Asia<br />
Bistro’s legendary Banana<br />
Cream Pie <strong>and</strong> didn’t<br />
believe the hype till I tried<br />
it myself. The crust is very<br />
different from others I’ve<br />
had—glossier <strong>and</strong> slightly<br />
sweeter—<strong>and</strong> the filling itself<br />
is freshness personified. The<br />
heaped whipped cream is<br />
homemade (not that artificial<br />
store-bought stuff), <strong>and</strong><br />
the custard between the<br />
just-ripe-enough bananas<br />
is luxurious <strong>and</strong> creamy.<br />
This is the real deal, folks.”<br />
fatsasiabistro.com<br />
“I consider myself a local pie<br />
expert <strong>and</strong> for me, nothing<br />
beats the Chicken Pot Pie<br />
at Ikeda’s California Country<br />
Market in Auburn. When<br />
I’m not scarfing down their<br />
perfectly balanced strawberryrhubarb,<br />
I’m reveling in their<br />
savory pot pie that’s packed<br />
with the usual suspects:<br />
chicken, carrots, potatoes,<br />
peas, <strong>and</strong> celery, all cradled<br />
in their legendary buttery pie<br />
crust. They’re known for their<br />
pies, so you can’t really go<br />
wrong with any of the umpteen<br />
options they offer.” ikedas.<br />
com<br />
“If there’s ever a perfect way<br />
to end a BBQ meal, it’s with<br />
the Chocolate Fudge<br />
Pecan Pie from Hog Wild<br />
Bar-B-Que in Placerville. Not<br />
overwhelmingly chocolate-y<br />
or pecan-y, it provides a sweet<br />
respite from all that delicious<br />
meat. I’d never tasted chocolate<br />
<strong>and</strong> pecans together in a pie<br />
before but it’s now my favorite<br />
filling. Thick fudge, spicy pecans,<br />
<strong>and</strong> a side of whipped cream<br />
make for a sensual dessert<br />
that I can’t get enough of.”<br />
hogwildbar-b-que.com<br />
“Just when you thought<br />
Pumpkin Pie couldn’t get<br />
any better, Karen’s Bakery<br />
in <strong>Folsom</strong> ups the ante with<br />
a gingersnap crust. They also<br />
make it with a plain crust,<br />
but gingersnap is next-level<br />
goodness. The spiciness of the<br />
crust doesn’t overpower the<br />
earthy pumpkin filling <strong>and</strong> still<br />
manages to st<strong>and</strong> out from<br />
a plain Jane pie crust. Come<br />
Christmastime, it’s the only pie<br />
I get—family <strong>and</strong> friends have<br />
even come to expect it each<br />
year!” karensbakery.<br />
com<br />
“The Quiche of the Day from<br />
La Provence Restaurant &<br />
Terrace in Roseville is a brunch<br />
must-have for those with a savory<br />
tooth. It’s typically filled with<br />
seasonal ingredients or whatever<br />
the chef fancies, but no matter<br />
the combination, it’s always<br />
delicate, well-balanced, <strong>and</strong> filling. I<br />
personally like the leek offering for<br />
its simplicity, but I’ve also tried the<br />
spinach <strong>and</strong> feta variety, which was<br />
absolutely delicious; <strong>and</strong> the familiar<br />
yet flavorful quiche Lorraine.”<br />

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?<br />
JJ Music offers private lessons in guitar, ukulele, piano <strong>and</strong> more<br />
at many different schools—College of Marin, Gateway Seminary,<br />
Summit Christian School, Marin Horizon School, <strong>and</strong> Marin Christian<br />
Academy—<strong>and</strong> locally. I started the business because I was grateful<br />
for my early education in music. Growing up, I experienced a lot<br />
of frustrations playing sports; as a result, I turned to music, which<br />
gave me a new passion for life. I now make a full-time living doing it<br />
<strong>and</strong> believe all children should have the opportunity to learn music.<br />
Who is your role model in business or in life, <strong>and</strong> why?<br />
My father. He’s a musician <strong>and</strong> has a wealth of knowledge in business.<br />
Where do you go when the going gets tough?<br />
I turn to prayer <strong>and</strong> to the Bible. I seek God when the going gets<br />

A college professor at a musical institute.<br />

The most important thing for a business. I strive to have all of our<br />
customers wanting to leave us a five-star rating.<br />
