Like a comet that burns far too 

brightly to last, Janis Joplin 

exploded onto the music scene 

in 1967 and, almost overnight, 

became the queen of rock & 

roll. The unmistakable voice, 

filled with raw emotion and 

tinged with Southern Comfort, 

made her a must-see headliner 

from Monterey to Woodstock. 

Now you’re invited to share an 

evening with the woman and her 

influences in the musical, 

A Night With Janis Joplin.

Birth Story 

What’s the coolest company you’ve ever 

worked for? For me, that question is 

impossible to answer, as each place has had 

its fair share of pros. From my first job as a 

“sandwich artist” at Auburn’s 

Maidu Market where I could 

walk to work, consume all the 

subs I craved, and was once 

given free tickets to Coldplay 

(courtesy of a loyal customer); 

to a summer bartending gig 

at The Westin San Diego 

where I posted up poolside and mixed mai 

tais for guests soaking up the sun, there 

have been many monumental memories. 

Even in my current role, I can’t complain. 

Product samples aplenty, a laid-back work 

environment, gratis granola bars, and the 

ability to connect with our community 

while getting to be creative are all reasons 

why I’ve been here for over eight years now. 

Whether it’s the work perks, 

camaraderie with fellow co-workers, or a 

passion for the business’ product or service, 

there are many components that play into 

a company’s “cool” factor. Where we live, 

we’re lucky to have a ton of places that meet 

all the criteria above, plus more, which was 

the inspiration behind this month’s feature. 

Starting on page 28, you can read about 15 

places headquartered here that anyone 

would be lucky to work at. Some have been 

around for over a century, others started 

small and are now internationally known, 

and a few have dog-friendly digs or do 

impressive amounts 

of community service. 

I’m pretty positive 

there’s a company, and 

office culture, that’ll 

strike a chord with you. 

And if you happen to 

be job hunting, word on 

the street is some are 

currently hiring! 

“Inner peace begins 

the moment you 

choose not to allow 

another person or 

event to control 

your emotions.” 

—Unknown 

In other news this month, September 

is National Yoga Month, which means 

it’s a prime time to put all your fears or 

assumptions about the practice aside (no, 

you don’t have to be female, flexible, or 

affluent) and give it a try. To help you get 

inspired, we have “6 Off-the-Beaten-Mat 

Yoga Classes” in Health & Wellness (page 

18)—offerings that run the gamut from goat 

yoga (yes, it’s a thing and yes, it’s available 

locally) to a sculpt class that incorporates 

weights and cardio to really push you to 

your edge. There’s even a sidebar about a 

nonprofit (Sacramento Free Yoga) whose 

website lists complimentary classes around 

the region. Once you sign up, turn to Swag on 

page 48 for a roundup of omazing products 

that’ll help you start your asana in style. As 

someone dedicated to downward dogging, 

I can honestly say that yoga has made 

me a kinder, stronger, and more present 

person—not to mention saved me from 

having multiple meltdowns. 

Wherever you’re at in your professional 

or personal journey, let this issue be a 

reminder that it’s never too late to flip the 

script and try something new. Cheers!

Paul 

Tomei 

Paul Tomei never expected his life 

to travel full circle the way it has. 

He grew up in Pollock Pines but 

left the area after high school 

to pursue a college degree and 

career in acting and directing. “I 

had a passion for the stage,” Tomei explains. “I 

loved being able to transform into someone else.” 

Though he wound up working as an actor in Los 

Angeles, he felt something was missing. “I wanted 

[a job that was] more artistically fulfilling and 

grounding,” he says. “In the back of my mind, I 

thought teaching would be interesting,” so in his 

spare time, Tomei got his credential. He originally 

anticipated working overseas, but when an 

opportunity to teach drama at El Dorado High 

School arose, it proved an offer too good to refuse. 

Twenty years later, Tomei has no 

regrets about the decision. He’s back in his 

hometown, happily married with one child, 

and able to spend each day inspiring others 

to pursue their dreams. His students learn 

key life skills, such as communication and 

collaboration, and some have even gone on to 

become performers or stage technicians. For 

his efforts, he became the 2018 recipient of the 

Normadene Carpenter Award, granted by the 

El Dorado Arts Council. “I couldn’t have done 

anything without the help of the families, 

parents, friends, and community members 

who have been there to support me through 

all these years of hard work,” Tomei humbly 

asserts. “This really is a great place to live.”

Penryn 

Some experts believe there is a correlation between 

dairy products and breakouts, so if you're suddenly 

consuming more dairy, you may want to consider 

cutting back. If your new diet is healthy and balanced, 

however, you may want to look at other potential causes. I 

recommend washing your face twice daily with a professionalgrade 

cleanser, especially before bed and after workouts; it’s 

also important to wash your pillowcase frequently, as it harbors

I recently changed my diet and have started experiencing breakouts. Could what I eat be the culprit? 

bacteria from your hair and skin. Remember: Occasional 

breakouts are common, but chronic or inflamed acne can 

be greatly improved by visiting a qualified esthetician or 

physician.

David 

Danz 

Hummingbirds (colored 

scratchboard art) 

Inventive 

Illustrator 

by HEATHER L. BECKER 

Growing up in Sonora, illustrator David Danz studied at ArtCenter 

College of Design in Pasadena before working for several years in Marin 

County and eventually settling in Placerville with his wife, Sandy, and 

their four children. With Sandy’s help 

marketing, Danz was able to become 

a full-time illustrator. “I decided to 

focus on the woodcut/linocut style, 

which was only a small portion of my 

portfolio, [since it] received the most 

attention,” shares Danz. “[At the time], 

there were only a handful of illustrators 

in the country who worked in that style.” Danz has since provided his unique 

style to big-name clients like Blue Moon, Chevron, PG&E, Cost Plus World 

Market, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lawrence Wright. 

Wine label for Mark

HLB: HOW DO YOU BALANCE A CLIENT’S WISHES 

WITH YOUR ARTISTIC EXPRESSION? 

DD: As an illustrator, I’m hired for a certain look and 

style—scratchboard, woodcut, wood engraving, etc. 

Most of my clients have seen my work and know what 

they’re looking for. There are times when assistance 

is needed at the conceptual level, so I often generate 

numerous rough sketches to help them visualize 

different possibilities. I may 

be partial to a certain idea or 

direction, but the client is the boss and has the final word. 

HLB: WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN NEEDING INSPIRATION? 

DD: I’m inspired by imagery around me. Having an 

iPhone with a camera and access to immediate digital 

documentation is a wonderful thing. Whether traveling up 

Highway 50, having dinner in Downtown Placerville, or just 

looking out my front door, I’m drawn to the beauty that 

surrounds me and how light affects [a scene].

at this self-guided tour. Meet 

and talk with them about 

their medium and latest creations 

or purchase a piece of 

art. Hosted by the Placerville 

Arts Association, admission 

is free. 

paastudiotour.com 

HLB: WHAT DO YOU HOPE 

VIEWERS TAKE AWAY FROM 

YOUR WORK? 

DD: [I hope people] feel a sense of curiosity as well as an emotional 

connection. This doesn’t always apply to my illustration work, as I’m 

often just documenting or revealing something, but I also love plein air 

painting and have dabbled in creating watercolor landscapes over the 

years. I have plans of eventually letting go of commercial illustration 

and transitioning into the freedom of painting and producing imagery of 

whatever I’m inspired by. 

Illustration for God Save 

Texas by Alfred A. Knopf 


HLB: ARE THERE CHALLENGES YOU’VE 

HAD TO OVERCOME? 

DD: There are several obstacles I deal 

with on a daily basis. The first is trying 

to keep my work fresh and up to date. 

When one has been working in the same 

medium and style for 30 years, it’s easy to 

just settle in and create artwork the same 

way. Trying to expand, push boundaries, 

and take chances are all things I struggle 

with. Another obstacle is staying current 

with marketing trends. Years ago, a young 

illustrator starting out could call up a design 

firm or advertising agency and easily obtain 

a meeting with a creative person to show 

them their portfolio; today, it’s all about 

social media—if you’re good at using it, then 

you’ll be successful 

in marketing 

your work.

4 Directions 

Farm to Purpose 

A 

small farm in Latrobe 

is helping disabled 

students acquire 

marketable skills that 

could change their 

futures. That’s no 

small order. Disabled individuals are at 

a disadvantage when it comes to finding 

work. According to a 2018 Bureau of Labor 

Statistics survey, fewer than 20 percent of 

adults with disabilities were employed in 

2017, in contrast to more than 65 percent 

of non-disabled people who held jobs. 

4 Directions Farm wants to help close 

that gap. Cindy Keller and Starranne 

Meyers, special education teachers who 

founded Guiding Hands School in El 

Creating Pathways 

by LINDA HOLDERNESS 

Dorado Hills, opened the 57-acre working 

farm last year to teach skills that will help 

disabled youth earn a living doing work 

they enjoy and reap the fulfillment of 

contributing to their communities. 

At 4 Directions, students who may 

become uneasy in restrictive classrooms 

are able to flourish in open space with lots 

of movement, fresh air, and natural light. 

These youngsters, who face challenges 

ranging from physical to developmental 

to emotional, learn to care for the 

farm’s alpacas and goats and tend to its 

agriculture, including two new ventures: 

a 4,000-square-foot lavender field and a 

fledgling Christmas tree farm, which the 

students helped plant (thanks to a recent 

donation of evergreen saplings) 

and will care for as they mature. 

Along with farming, budding 

entrepreneurs and craftspeople 

can work in or make products 

for the nonprofit’s boutique, 

Soul Filled Creations, housed 

at Guiding Hands. Resembling 

a charming country store, the 

shop is stocked with organic 

soaps, sachets, lip balms, 

greeting cards, T-shirts, tote 

bags, and much more, all 

made or decorated by students. The 

children learn to manage the store, wait 

on customers, run the cash register, and 

even develop products. Many of the items 

contain lavender, which will come from 

the farm’s lavender field once it’s ready 

to be harvested. The store is open to the 

public from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on weekdays, 

and all money raised supports the farm’s 

projects. 

The farm also operates during the 

school year and invites visitors; the 

interaction allows students to feel pride 

in what they’ve accomplished and 

develop interpersonal skills. Volunteers 

and donations are welcome too, as the 

organization seeks more venues to sell 

the students’ wares and plans to build a 

new barn. 

The name 4 Directions is intended to 

evoke the four directions on a weather 

vane, which can point anywhere and 

represent the unlimited choices these 

kids should be able to make for their lives. 

“When people with disabilities have jobs 

and can contribute to their community, 

they show others they are so much 

more than their disability,” says Program 

Director Quynn Meyers-Keller. “Here 

we give them tasks they actually want 

to be doing.” The organization’s motto 

wraps it up perfectly: Everyone deserves 

the chance to find direction in life.

Band of 

Brothers 

Coloma Greys by JERRIE BEARD 

An obscure building sits on the corner of 

Highway 49 and Back Street in Coloma. 

Currently it houses vintage wagons, but 

at one time it served as the armory 

for the Coloma Greys, an independent 

military company that was organized 

and mustered into service on June 17, 

1857. In all, the first muster roll included 

four sergeants, four corporals, and 39 privates, including A.A. 

VanGuelder (captain), J.B. Vanderheyden (first lieutenant), James A. 

Hale (second lieutenant), and J. Spencer (third lieutenant). 

Independent military companies were common throughout 

California in the mid-19th century. Organized to maintain law and 

order in the fledgling state, they also protected citizens against 

the perceived threat of Native Americans. The oldest volunteer 

company was organized in July of 1849 and dubbed the California 

Guard. An accounting in 1862 published in the Sacramento Daily 

Union was compiled from the “list of uniformed companies, duly 

organized, with the number of rank and file as returned to the 

Adjutant General's office.” It lists 71 companies throughout the 

state with a total enrollment of 4,630 volunteers. The article notes 

these figures were less than in previous years, as many volunteers 

were being mustered in or volunteering for service in the Civil War. 

Each company chose their own name. The Independent 

City Guards, Sacramento Rangers, and Sutter Rifles were out of 

Sacramento; the Volcano Blues and Amador Mountaineers were 

found in Amador County; and the Auburn Greys, Forest Hill Guard, 

and Placer County Mountaineers were located in Placer County. 

The Coloma Greys were an efficient, well-officered, and 

outfitted company. In 1858, D. 

Norcross of Sacramento crafted 

a six-by-nine-foot flag of the 

finest silk for the company 

featuring gold fringe tassels, a 

large gilt eagle, and the words 

“Coloma Greys, organized June 

17th, 1857.” 

The efficiency and military 

skill of the company were never 

fully tested, but their “fine 

appearance” at celebrations 

throughout the region was

noted in newspapers. At the jubilee held in honor of the laying of the 

Atlantic telegraph cable in 1858, the Greys were “cordially received” 

in Sacramento. “Their uniform is a handsomely fitting gray suit, 

trimmed with black, gray cap, and pompon. The members of the 

Company are nearly all up to the true standard of military stature 

and proportion and make a fine show on parade. Their marching 

and discipline reflected credit on their officers.” Later that day, the 

“fine band of the Coloma Greys” led a military procession. 

In 1859, the Greys participated in a military encampment of 

volunteer companies near Sacramento to receive instruction in 

company and battalion drills. The proceedings provided ample 

entertainment for the public and an exercise in adaptability for the 

participants. Overnight, strong winds, rain, and hail downed the 

canvas tents and soaked the volunteers. 

The closest the company ever came to combat was probably in 

May 1860 during the Paiute Wars in Utah and Nevada. Depredations 

by the Native Americans at Miller's Station on the Carson River 

prompted a military unit to pursue them up the Truckee River 

toward Pyramid Lake. The military was outnumbered and most of 

the soldiers were killed. Many local militias, including the Coloma 

Greys, stood ready to march. The Greys never saw action, however. 

The company was ordered by Governor Downey to send their arms 

and munitions to Carson Valley to equip the army. It wasn’t until 

August 1861 that the state replaced those weapons. 

On September 13, 1862, Coloma Greys’ Captain Vanderheyden 

submitted a letter to General W. C. Kibbe making known his plans 

to disband the company. There were not enough fresh recruits in 

Coloma to fill the ranks, as many of the soldiers had joined the Civil 

War effort.

Though our region boasts a bevy

above the rest. From work perks 

that go beyond Casual Friday

block for over 100 years, the 

following companies are cutting-edge 

and seriously cool. 

In no particular order… 

One of the few remaining independent 

hospitals in California, Marshall Medical 

Center has been steadily climbing the ranks 

in hospital ratings since 1959. With land 

originally donated by Michigan-California 

Lumber Company in Placerville, the main acute 

care hospital has expanded exponentially to include numerous 

primary and specialty care clinics all throughout El Dorado County. 

“The ‘little hospital on the hill’ is recognized as one of the best 

in the nation for quality outcomes and patient experience by the 

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,” says Lourdes Edralin, 

director of marketing and community relations. What’s more, every 

fall (September 8 this year), they sponsor the Women's Health 

Expo and 5K Fun Run in El Dorado Hills, which they encourage 

employees to train for and participate in. 

For the win: Marshall is a verified Level 3 Trauma Center with a 

distinguished stroke response team, a designated “Baby Friendly” 

hospital by UNICEF and WHO, and home to some of the most 

recent technology in medicine, like the DaVinci Robotic Surgery 

System, which allows for minimally invasive surgeries.—AM

In 1992, five 

independent 

insurance agents 

began weekly 

meetings to address 

the pressures of rising 

company volume 

requirements, profit 

sharing minimums, 

and general business 

pressures. PIIB was formed from those meetings as a means to 

enable their individual agencies to be more successful. Since 

then, PIIB has also helped more than 250 independent insurance 

agencies achieve success. “Independent by choice and united for 

strength” remains the company’s vision. PIIB currently represents 

companies in a total of nine states, from Washington to Texas 

and everywhere in between. Each affiliate has direct access to 

individual companies, making it more efficient for every agency 

involved. In less than 25 years, the brokers have grown the 

company from seven to over 200 affiliates—proof that their model 

is working. 

This family-owned and 

operated gift shop has 

been a Placerville staple 

since 1912, giving it 

the remarkable title of 

California’s fifth oldest 

business. Generations have 

put years of labor and love 

into making the gift shop 

what it is today, with “the 

same values of superior 

customer service and exceptional variety of merchandise” since 

the store’s inception, fourth generation owner Jeff Meader says. 

This exceptional variety is evident in the specially selected books, 

magazines, art supplies, newspapers, and cards, in addition to the 

new Hallmark Gold Crown addition and music counter. Being a 

cornerstone of the community has given the family an opportunity 

to serve multiple generations of customers, now an extension of 

the Placerville News Company family.

Jessica Osterday started Gracias Chocolate in 2014, hoping to 

create a chocolate that “charmed the senses, was different from the 

rest, and infused with the magic of creation.” Viewing chocolate as 

a balm to both soul and body, Osterday sought to make a healthier 

product. To that end, she melds pure, unroasted Ecuadorian cacao 

with maca root, a superfood touted for its natural energy source, 

creating a rustic and memorable stone-ground texture. Her more 

adventurous flavors include fig balsamic with black salt and citrus 

habanero with hazelnuts—both of which can be found locally at 

Iverson Vineyards and Winery, Placerville Food Co-op, and more.

ClearBags is the number one provider 

of crystal clear bags for packaging 

various retail items—think food, 

photographs, and everything in 

between. Their first priority is to 

promote, protect, and preserve 

their customers’ products. The 

company started by selling posters, 

but after numerous customers began 

purchasing the clear bags the posters 

came in, instead of the posters themselves, 

ClearBags was born. In the 26 years since, the company has 

evolved to function around its customers, including an expansion 

to Tennessee for those on the East Coast, and a custom team that 

constantly comes up with new and improved packaging ideas. 

Did you know? ClearBags also sells boxes, stationery, and 

accessories to complete the packaging of any product, all available 

at wholesale pricing. With over 6,000 products in their inventory 

and ready to be shipped within one business day, it’s easy to find 

packaging fit for any occasion.—AM 

Innovation meets style with these sleek belt 

enthusiasts, all of whom share one belief: Holes in 

belts are unnecessary. In 2004, founder Brig Taylor 

was teaching abroad in Moldova when a student 

presented him with a simple yet ingenious gift: a belt featuring a 

buckle that ratcheted into teeth-like ridges instead of a prong and 

worn-out holes. Taylor sought to stylize the belt and turn it into a 

mainstream marvel, but there was one caveat: ratcheting buckles 

were already public domain and a patent wouldn’t be possible until 

nine years later, when he improved and redesigned the buckle into 

a dual-ratchet lever. (He also added a bottle opener to the belt for 

good measure.) Today, the belts are shipped worldwide and offered 

in utility and fashion styles, kids’ sizes, and even vegan leather. 

Job perks: Full-time employees enjoy 35-hour work weeks (paid hourlong 

lunches), subsidized gym memberships, chances to win money 

and prizes, an open vacation policy, and a game room with ping

Hernia 101 

What’s to Urgent for Urgent Care? 

Healing Garden Coming Soon 

SPECIAL AD SECTION

DID YOU KNOW 


What’s Too Urgent 

for Urgent Care? 

It’s happened to us all -- and inevitably 

in the evening or middle of the night. 

Your child is sick. Do you know 

what to do? Should you wait it out 

until morning when you can call the 

pediatrician or do you rush them to 

the closest Emergency Room? Here 

are some guidelines from emergency physician 

Michael Mirhadi, MD, of Marshall Medical Center. 

Emergency Room 

It’s hard to know what an emergency is and what 

can wait. Here are a few indications that a trip to the 

ER is necessary: 

• Fainting, loss of consciousness, seizure 

• Fever in a newborn 

• Rapid or difficulty breathing 

• Sudden dizziness, weakness or change in vision 

• Change in behavior, such as confusion or 

difficulty walking 

• Severe or persistent vomiting or vomiting blood 

• Severe or persistent diarrhea or blood in stools 

• Vomiting and/or diarrhea with dry lips or mouth 

and/or decreased urination 

• Profuse bleeding or bleeding that won’t stop with 

direct pressure after 15 minutes 

• A gaping wound with edges that don’t 

come together 

• Problems with movement or sensation after 

an injury 

• A stiff neck associated with 

fever or headache 

• Accidents involving 

pedestrians or bicycles and cars 

• A red/purple rash that doesn’t 

disappear when brief fingertip 

pressure is applied to the skin 

• A bulging or sunken fontanel 

(soft spot) in infants 

• Sudden severe pain anywhere 

in the body 

• Falls from any significant height 

• Mental health concerns 

Urgent Care 

Urgent care is a great alternative to the ER if 

your pediatrician is unavailable. If you can’t 

make an appointment within a day or two for the 

following symptoms, head to a nearby urgent 

care center: 

• Fever accompanied by cold symptoms and you 

suspect it may be the flu. 

• Possible ear infection; symptoms include 

drainage from the ear, ear ache and pulling on 

the ears. 

• Sore throat with or without white patches on the 

tonsils, a possible sign of strep infection. 

• Possible pink eye, (red, inflamed eyes with or 

without discharge). 

• A few episodes of vomiting or diarrhea (without 

blood in the stool) but has no belly pain or signs 

of dehydration. 

“Generally speaking,” says Mirhadi, “if your 

child is able to walk, talk, interact and play, 

chances are whatever she or he has is not 

an emergency and you should make an 

appointment with your pediatrician.” But trust 

your gut, if you feel something can’t wait until 

the next available appointment, visit urgent care 

or the emergency room.

BETTER CARE FOR YOU 

Hernia 101 

bladder pushes through the lower abdominal wall into 

the groin. There are a few other kinds, including ventral 

hernias (in the abdomen) and umbilical, more common in 

newborns. 

How do you prevent a hernia? 

There are a few things you can do to prevent a hernia: 

strengthen your abdominal muscles, warm up and rest 

properly before and after exercise, quit smoking, eat more fiber 

and maintain a healthy weight. 

How do you know you have a hernia? 

The most obvious symptom of a hernia is a bulge or lump in 

the affected area. If it’s an inguinal hernia, you may notice a 

lump on either side of the pubic bone where the groin and 

thigh meet. Hernias are most easily felt when you’re standing, 

bending down or coughing. 

Hernias -- Chances are you know someone who’s 

had one. But what are they? How do you know 

when you have one? And how are they treated? 

Marshall General Surgeon Ryan Lussenden, MD, 

has the answers. 

What is a hernia? 

The simple answer: a hernia occurs when an organ pushes through 

a weak spot in the muscle or tissue that holds it in place. The most 

common type is called an inguinal hernia, where the intestine or 

You may also experience: 

• pain or discomfort, particularly when bending over, 

coughing or lifting heavy items 

• weakness, pressure or a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen 

• burning, gurgling or aching near the bulge 

How do you treat a hernia? 

While some hernias can be treated with lifestyle changes and/ 

or medication, if it’s causing pain or growing larger, you’ll likely 

need surgery. Make an appointment with your doctor for an 

evaluation and referral. Dr. Lussenden at Marshall Medical 

Center offers minimally invasive, robotic hernia repair. Contact 

his office to make an appointment at 530-626-3682. 

Exceeding Patients’ Expectations 

Let’s face it. No one wants 

to be a patient in a hospital. 

While grateful for the care 

they receive, most people 

would rather recuperate 

in the quiet of their own home, in their 

own comfortable bed and eating familiar 

food. During a hospital stay, patients are 

awoken in regular intervals by nurses and 

doctors who examine them and take their 

vital statistics. They eat healthy food and 

have limited TV selection -- all while not 

feeling well. 

But when asked, Marshall patients 

overwhelmingly say they had an 

outstanding experience at Marshall 

Hospital. How do we know? Every patient is sent a 

standardized patient care survey administered by the 

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). 

The results show that Marshall’s patients highly rate 

their care experience at Marshall. 

The questions range from caregiver 

communication to pain management, cleanliness 

and more. Based on survey results, and in 

comparison with other hospitals in the nation, 

Medical Center is the recipient of the Healthgrades 

2018 Outstanding Patient Experience Award. 

Marshall Medical Center ranked among the top 10 

percent of hospitals nationwide for patient experience. 

This success is based on the patients’ perception of the 

care they receive, and that’s why Marshall is very proud of 

this honor. Find out more at www.healthgrades.com.

COVER STORY 

A Marshall Birth Story: 

Birth Center Delivers 

a Joyous Ending 

Brooke and Justin enjoy making their daughter, Blair, laugh. 

Two weeks before Brooke Simmons and 

her husband, Justin, had their beautiful 

baby girl Blair, they were living in 

Oklahoma, carefully preparing a detailed 

birth plan. But the perfect job opportunity 

opened up here in California, so they 

packed up and moved back to Brooke’s 

home town of Placerville. “While I was excited to move 

back to California, I knew I had to move quickly to switch 

obstetricians and find a new hospital and pediatrician.” 


Marshall Medical Center was able to provide everything 

Brooke needed for the delivery and care of her baby. 

Obstetrician Ken Nelson, MD, who delivered Brooke many 

years ago, was a caring and reassuring presence, giving 

Brooke respect, warmth and expert advice while reviewing 

her birth plan. 

Brooke and Blair with Birth Center staff members: 

Mary Ann Gulutz, RN, Director; Katie Olivier, RN and Kenneth Nelson, MD 


well as doctors and nurses from various 

specialties throughout the hospital. 

Marshall has an operating room 

located right in the birth center, so 

Brooke was able to get into surgery 

quickly. During her surgery, the 

nursing staff was able to give Justin 

regular updates on her progress 

and assure him that he was doing 

everything caring for their brand 

new baby. 

Brooke, Justin, and Blair are joined by Brooke’s sister, Brie Mattson and their mom, Wendy Thomas. 

During Brooke’s second appointment 

with Dr. Nelson, she was sent directly 

to Marshall Hospital with what was 

thought to be preeclampsia. As it 

turned out, Brooke had gone into 

labor. “I was warmly welcomed at the 

Birth Center and received amazing 

care. Each nurse 

played a unique and 

critical role in my 

birth experience and 

was very respectful of 

my birth plan.” 

Weeks after her 

delivery, Brooke was 

still able to recall her 

nurses’ contributions. 

“Katie helped me feel 

comfortable, bringing 

humor to lighten 

the mood. Danielle’s extensive 

background provided helpful insights 

into questions and concerns, while 

advocating for my needs throughout 

my time at Marshall. Deanna’s kind 

and gentle nature was a welcomed 

presence in the night routine, and 

Lindsey’s creativity and intuition 

helped turn the tide in the middle of a 

difficult birth by offering suggestions 

and techniques that made a vaginal 

birth possible, something that I 

desired. Lindsey’s knowledgeable 

Everyone 

at the Birth 

Center was 

committed 

to my birth 

plan 

assistance with breast feeding also 

made that process successful and 

unintimidating.” 

“Everyone at the Birth Center was 

committed to my birth plan and, while 

we had to make some compromises, 

they all helped 

make it a reality. My 

goal was to have a 

natural birth and 

that’s exactly what 

happened.” 

Unfortunately, 

Brooke’s experience 

didn’t end there. Her 

labor was difficult 

and prolonged. After 

32 hours in labor 

and roughly four and 

half hours of active 

pushing, their beautiful daughter 

was born. 

But then the situation took a turn 

for the worse. Brooke began to 

hemorrhage, and Michele Cherry, MD, 

quickly and skillfully reacted to the 

critical condition. Brooke was rushed 

to the operating room and all hands 

were on deck. 

The team that assembled included 

Craig Thayer, MD, Chief of Surgery, as 

“I’m convinced that had it been 

another time or in another hospital, 

the results may very well have 

been quite different,” said Brooke. 

“However, due to the expert care 

from Dr. Cherry and from all the 

departments of Marshall Medical 

Center that day, I got the care I 

needed and today we have our 

healthy, beautiful daughter.”

FOUNDATION NEWS 

Cancer Center 

Healing Garden 


It will be a place to heal, to breathe, to lose 

all thought and to just be in the moment. The 

proposed new healing garden at the Marshall 

Cancer Center will provide patients, family, staff 

and community an opportunity to utilize nature’s 

health giving and therapeutic power. 

The proposed garden will provide a safe and comforting 

place with covered areas to sit in the shade and open 

areas to take in the sun and wide walking paths allow for 

easy navigation on a garden stroll. 

The healing garden will be located in Cameron Park, 

adjacent to the Cancer Center and dedicated to the 

memory of Janet Nachtman, the wife of former Marshall 

Medical Center CEO, Frank Nachtman. Years ago, Janet 

fought valiantly against cancer. “It is because of her vision 

and passion to find a better pathway that the Cancer 

Center exists today,” says Judie Stewart, Janet’s close 

friend and chair of the healing garden campaign. Janet 

was an exceptional artist and brilliant gardener; she was 

compassionate and concerned about improving the 

journey of all cancer patients. 

Research has shown that introducing nature into 

healthcare has a profound impact on those who 

experience it. Pain and stress decrease, and the overall 

emotional state improves. Healthcare is not confined to 

the walls of a building. Healing also occurs outside in 

nature. “This serene environment will allow patients time 

and space to heal spiritually, mentally and physically in 

a way that cannot be quantified,” adds Wendy Goossen, 

Director of the Cancer Resource Center. 

Planned to open in 2019, fundraising for the Janet 

Nachtman Healing Garden is ongoing. For more 

information on how you may positively impact lives 

through the Cancer Healing Garden, please contact Mr. 

Jamie Johnson, Executive Director, Marshall Foundation 

for Community Health, at 530-642-9984 or jjohnson1@ 

marshallmedical.org. 

Last May, the Marshall Foundation 

for Community Health said 

goodbye to long-time CEO/ 

Executive Director Karen Good. 

We wish her well on her new 

retirement adventure and welcome 

her successor, Jamie Johnson. 

Jamie is relocating to California 

with his wife, six children, and three 

German Shepherds from Eerie, Pennsylvania where he 

was the Executive Director of the Mercy Hilltop Center,

DINING SPOTLIGHT 

Bricks Eats and Drinks 

A Main Street Mainstay 

by SHARON PENNY // photos by DANTE FONTANA 

If you’re looking for a friendly, unpretentious dining destination with 

local brews and good eats, look no further than the aptly named Bricks. 

Inside, you’ll find a brightly lit, welcoming bar and dining room 

that’s decorated with huge, vibrant photos of Placerville’s Main 

Street (shot by local photographers Scott and Sharon Benton) and 

walls constructed almost entirely of, you guessed it, bricks. The 

staff is smiley and attentive, and with big picture windows looking onto 

historic downtown, it’s the primo place for drinks, a casual meet and 

greet, or a substantial meal. 

I stopped by on a Saturday for a late lunch and found the place 

positively jumping. To my palate’s pleasant surprise, five out of the day’s 

10 taps were dedicated to local El Dorado County and Sacramento-area 

breweries like Mraz, Knee Deep, Crooked Lane, and Track 7. 

For starters, I ordered the fried green tomatoes—slices of pankocrusted, 

garden-fresh tomatoes that were deep-fried until golden and 

served on a bed of creamy grits. Topped with tomatillo salsa and crème 

fraîche, it was a taste-bud explosion and set the bar high for the food 

that followed. 

An order of fish and chips came next; much to my delight, Bricks’ 

version featured a hearty helping of four, perfectly beer-battered fillets 

atop a pile of crispy, still-hot fries, plus the obligatory accompaniments: 

tartar sauce, malt vinegar, and paprika-sprinkled lemon (an ingenious 

touch that I’m definitely stealing for my home cooking). Providing the 

plate with a pop of color was a kale, red cabbage, carrot, and red onion 

slaw dressed in an addicting Asian-style citrus vinaigrette. 

The Bo Peep burger sounded too good to pass up…and almost looked 

to good to eat. Served with a generous helping of fries, the medium-rare 

lamb patty was seasoned and cooked to my asking, with tasty toppings to 

boot, like grilled onions, pickled cucumbers, feta, lettuce, tomatoes, and 

paprika-studded yogurt sauce (similar to tzatziki) on buttery brioche. If 

you’re a lamb lover, you’ll love this burger…I guarantee it. 

Bricks is casual eating done right. The carpeted flooring means that 

even when it’s crowded you can still carry on a conversation, and the fare 

has just enough flair to keep you coming back for more.

your average pink box creations, as Hunter produces unique flavor combinations such as Butter & 

Salt (a glazed buttermilk doughnut with a perfect salty-sweet balance) and The Peachy (a brioche 

doughnut with a bourbon peach glaze and peach dust). Flavors change monthly and according 

to season, but on a recent visit to their storefront (currently open on Fridays from 7 a.m. till sold 

out), I indulged in a Vanilla Cake Doughnut that was anything but basic. With either buttermilk or 

brioche as a base, Shorty’s manages to be both light in consistency and dense, without the overly 

fried taste of traditional doughnuts. The vanilla cake offering was sweet, satisfying, and topped with a heap of rainbow sprinkles that had my inner 

kid smiling gleefully. Shorty’s menu also offers coffee and mochi ice cream, and you can follow them on Instagram (@shortysdoughnuts) to find 

their next pop-up location. Alternatively, hire them directly for your next special event, as Shorty’s will be a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Shingle
