editor’s note
W
hat’s your relationship with winter sports? Do you buy a season ski
pass before the first snowstorm of the season hits or is your idea
of a winter workout maneuvering Christmas cookies to and
from your mouth? My courtship is complicated. Growing up so
close to the Sierras meant Friday
field trips to Boreal Mountain
Resort and Sunday fundays sledding. Though it sounds like
a postcard-perfect childhood, the reality was much different.
My inaugural experience downhill skiing was one of the most
frigid, frightening days of my life. I cried more than I laughed
and was on my fanny more than my feet. Subsequent attempts
included injuries and a general fear factor that I never could
conquer. Needless to say, when I moved to San Diego and
traded the snow for the sand, I didn’t miss the mountains
one bit.
It wasn’t until returning to my roots that I truly started
appreciating the beauty and flurry of fun we have in this winter wonderland of ours. Downhill
skiing aside, residents can go snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice-skating, or even join
a curling club. And in this month’s Health & Wellness article, “Work it Out(side)” (page 34),
Kourtney Jason guides you through various ventures, with the benefits/calories burned, local
places to try it, and a beginner tip for each. Even when the temps are tempting you inside, I
hope it inspires you to soak up the snow and opt outside.
Winter sports aren’t the only nod to the season this issue. We’ve packed these pages
with a plethora of holiday fun, including “31 Ways to Give Back in 31 Days” (page 38) where
Sharon Penny proves it is indeed better to give (of your time and talents) than receive. Make
it your mission to try everything on the list or commit to one cause and see just how warm
and fuzzy it makes you feel.
When it comes to giving more material things this month, because Christmas, I encourage
you to check out our Holiday Gift Guide on page 45, chock-full of over 75 presents that’ll please
“We make
a living by
what we get.
We make a
life by what
we give.”—
Winston S.
Churchill
the most discerning person on your list. The best part? Almost
everything is available at small-box brick and mortars, so
you can rest assured you’re doing your part to support the
cornerstones of our community. Bonus: We’re giving away a
few of the featured gifts; follow us on Instagram (@stylemags)
for the details and how you can walk away a winner.
For people planning to host a holiday party (bless you), flip
to Kerrie L. Kelly’s article, “4 Tips for Effortless Entertaining” on
page 40, featuring suggestions on how to be the hostess with
the mostess, including investing in actual invites to truly set
the soirée’s scene. And what’s an affair without alcohol? Make
it extra spirited by preparing one of the 3 festive cocktails (each
using locally made liquor) in Sip on This (page 78).
Whether you loathe or love this time of year, remember to take a moment to appreciate
the people, places, and things that abound and surround. Happy holidays!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CROSS-COUNTRY
SKIING
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: Alpenglow
Sports staffer Janice Pilkington says crosscountry
skiing (also known as Nordic skiing)
is one of the best aerobic activities you can
do. It’s an endurance sport that’s good for
the heart and lungs, similar to running or
cycling. It can burn 500-1,000 calories per
hour, depending on whether the trail is flat
or uphill.
TRY IT: Tahoe Cross-Country Ski Area (925
Country Club Drive, Tahoe City, 530-583-5475,
tahoexc.org); Royal Gorge Cross-Country Ski
Resort (9411 Pahatsi Road, Soda Springs, 530-
426-3871, royalgorge.com)
BEGINNER TIP: “Even if you’re an avid downhill
skier, don’t expect to be a great cross-country
skier. Soft boots and edgeless skis provide
a challenge for all first-timers. When in
doubt, hire an instructor,” says Sean Kristl,
director of sales and marketing at Alpenglow
Expeditions.
3
DOWNHILL
SKIING
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: Skiing
improves your strength and balance,
Pilkington says. “When you do longer runs
without stopping, you’ll also notice that you’re
a bit out of breath,” she says. “If you choose to
be really adventurous and go backcountry
skiing—where you put climbing skins on
your skis and go uphill outside the resorts
under your own power—you’ll get a great
aerobic workout.” Kristl adds that downhill
skiing builds leg muscles and core strength,
and you can burn 300-500 calories in an hour,
depending on the intensity. “Powder-skiing
will burn more calories; groomed skiing will
burn less,” he says.
TRY IT: Sierra-at-Tahoe (1111 Sierra-at-
Tahoe Road, Twin Bridges, 530-659-7453,
sierraattahoe.com); Sugar Bowl Resort (629
Sugar Bowl Road, Norden, 530-426-9000,
sugarbowl.com); Northstar California (5001
Northstar Drive, Truckee, 530-562-2267,
northstarcalifornia.com); Squaw Valley-
Alpine Meadows (1960 Squaw Valley Road,
Olympic Valley, 800-403-0206, squawalpine.
com); Heavenly Mountain Resort (4080 Lake
Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, 775-586-
7000, skiheavenly.com); Kirkwood Mountain
Resort (1501 Kirkwood Meadows Drive,
Kirkwood, 209-258-6000, kirkwood.com)
BEGINNER TIP: Pilkington recommends,
newcomers take advantage of [a resort's]
packages that [typically] include lift tickets
with rentals and lessons. “The resorts offer
them at discounts because they want you to
come back and know your experience will
be better if you take a lesson and have good
equipment.”
4
SNOWSHOEING
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: “Similar to
hiking or running, snowshoeing is
a fantastic cardiovascular
workout. Deeper snow
makes it more difficult
and a harder workout,
while sturdy snow
underfoot makes it
drastically easier,”
Kristl says. Depending
on pace and snow type,
a snowshoer can burn
between 500-1,000 calories per hour.
TRY IT: California Sno-Parks, including Donner
Summit (near Truckee off I-80), Blackwood
Canyon (near Tahoe City off Highway 89),
Carson Pass (off Highway 88), Echo Lake (off
Highway 50), Iron Mountain (off Highway
88 near Kirkwood ski area), Lake Alpine (off
Highway 4), Meiss Meadow (off Highway
88 near Carson Pass), Spicer Reservoir (off
Highway 4), Taylor Creek (off Highway 89 near
Fallen Leaf Lake), and Yuba Pass (off Highway
49)
BEGINNER TIP: “Hiking boots with a pair of
warm wool socks work well for footwear.
Snowshoes come in a variety of sizes and
materials. The bigger you are, the bigger
the surface area you need to keep you from
sinking. Also, deeper/softer snow requires a
bigger snowshoe,” Pilkington says. “Going out
in deep, untracked snow is very physically
demanding. Most people try to find a trail
that’s been groomed at a Nordic skiing center
or a packed snowmobile trail.”
5 SNOWBOARDING
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: Nadia
Guerriero, vice president and general
manager at Northstar California, says
snowboarding, like skiing, is a full-body
activity, which means doing it requires
feeling the position of different body
parts and having an awareness of the
effort that goes into moving those parts.
It can burn between 300-600 calories an
hour, depending on how hard you work.
TRY IT: Sierra-at-Tahoe (1111 Sierra-At-
Tahoe Road, Twin Bridges, 530-659-7453,
sierraattahoe.com); Sugar Bowl Resort (629
Sugar Bowl Road, Norden, 530-426-9000,
sugarbowl.com); Northstar California (5001
Northstar Drive, Truckee, 530-562-2267,
northstarcalifornia.com); Squaw Valley-

com); Heavenly Mountain Resort (4080 Lake
Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, 775-586-
7000, skiheavenly.com); Kirkwood Mountain
Resort (1501 Kirkwood Meadows Drive,
Kirkwood, 209-258-6000, kirkwood.com)
BEGINNER TIP: Have a professional coach you,
Guerriero says. “Join a small group or private
lesson from a certified instructor to learn
the basics. Not only will this save you time,
frustration, and a strained relationship, but
you’ll also feel accomplished and confident
on the mountain.” She also says to drink
water, as many first-timers aren’t acclimated
to performing physical activity at a higher
elevation. “Water is the key to helping your
body get used to the altitude and have a great
day on the mountain.”
6 SLEDDING
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: “Sledding
is fun,” Collin says. “It doesn’t require fancy
or expensive equipment, making it more
accessible and affordable. Plus, the walk up
that hill each time is good for your legs and
your heart.” Sledding for 30 minutes on a
medium-sized hill burns about 240 calories.
TRY IT: California Sno-Parks, including Donner
Summit (near Truckee off I-80), Blackwood
Canyon (near Tahoe City off Highway 89),
Carson Pass (off Highway 88), Echo Lake (off
Highway 50), Iron Mountain (off Highway
88 near Kirkwood ski area), Lake Alpine (off
Highway 4), Meiss Meadow (off Highway
88 near Carson Pass), Spicer Reservoir (off
Highway 4), Taylor Creek (off Highway 89 near
Fallen Leaf Lake), and Yuba Pass (off Highway
49)
BEGINNER TIP: “Sledding has risks that aren’t
always obvious,” he warns. “It’s important to
check out the environment before sledding,
because sleds pick up speed quickly and don’t
steer well. Look for any obstacles, such as
trees, rocks, and people. If possible, sled at a
resort where an appropriate sledding slope
has been identified.”
7
ICE
HOCKEY
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: Susan
Sweetser, a spokesperson at Skatetown
Ice Arena, says ice hockey develops
endurance and the cardiovascular system,
boosts metabolism, is a full-body workout,
enhances muscular strength, develops
hand-eye coordination, improves body
coordination and balance, develops
social skills and the spirit of team work,
improves communication, and boosts
brain and mental acuity. Calories burned
can depend on how much you weigh, how
fast you move, and how hard you play. For
example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you
can burn approximately 285 calories in
30 minutes.
TRY IT: Folsom Historic District Ice Rink
(200 Wool Street, Folsom, 916-936-4410,
folsomicerink.com); Skatetown Ice Arena
(1009 Orlando Avenue, Roseville, 916-783-
8550, skatetown.biz)
BEGINNER TIP: Ryan Frisch, a local hockey
player, shares three tips to those interested
in picking up the sport. “Make sure to
invest in a good-fitting pair of skates—they
don’t need to be top-of-the-line, but go to
a pro shop and have them fit you properly.
Second, join a ‘learn-to-play’ hockey class
at a local rink—this is a low-pressure way
to learn the game with others in the same
situation. And third, play as much as you
can. There are drop-in pickup sessions and
skill sessions offered where you can finetune
your skating and your skills.”
8 Curling
BENEFITS/CALORIES BURNED: Sweetser
says curling is an aerobic workout,
increasing your heart rate and improving
the cardiovascular system. “You can put
on about two miles walking up and down
the ice during a game,” she says. “Plus, the
sweeping motion involved in directing the
rock increases heart rate and improves your
cardiovascular system.” It also strengthens
your muscles, improves flexibility, and can
be done by anyone. Curling burns a lot
of calories—356 calories an hour for an
average man and 304 for a woman—yet
because you’re playing on ice, you don’t
perspire as much, she says.
TRY IT: Skatetown Ice Arena (1009 Orlando
Avenue, Roseville, 916-783-8550, skatetown.
biz)
BEGINNER TIP: “Start at a learn-to-curl clinic
(the Wine Country Curling Club hosts
them year-round) where you’ll get an
overview of the game, etiquette and on-ice
safety, learn delivery basics and sweeping,
and play a short game (if time and space
permit),” she says.

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

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

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

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

BETTER CARE FOR YOU
Many people
don’t realize they
have hearing loss
until it becomes a
problem
Say What?
High Tech Hearing Devices
These are not your
grandfather’s hearing
aids. Today’s hearing
device technology is now
more powerful than ever.
Marshall ENT & Hearing Center shares
the following features and accessories that
provide a more efficient and hassle-free
experience.
Rechargeability
Several new models of hearing devices
allow the convenience of rechargeable
technology, meaning you never have
to change a battery again. And the best
news? You don’t have to purchase a brandnew
device. All you need to do is bring
your device to Marshall’s Hearing Center
for a simple switch of the battery door.
This easy and convenient rechargeable
technology provides a full day’s use with
one overnight charge and allows you to
hear without hassle. And if you happen
to forget to charge your device one night,
you can easily switch your rechargeable
batteries out for disposables.
TV Streamers
TV streamers are a popular product
for those with hearing loss and their
families; they are used so everyone
can have an enjoyable TV watching
experience. These devices stream
sound (some from as far as 23 feet
away) straight to your hearing aids
while your family and friends listen at
a comfortable volume.
Remote Microphones
Remote microphones help those with
hearing loss hear their conversation
partner in noisy backgrounds and
from a distance. This device provides
up to 62 percent more understanding
in noise compared to those without
hearing loss. The microphone settings
automatically adjust to the noise levels
around you as well as the speaker.
Landline Bluetooth Phone
There are even cordless phones that
automatically stream calls to your
hearing aids, resulting in improved
speech understanding. These devices
feature a direct dial button, handsfree
mode and compatibility for those
without hearing loss.
To schedule an appointment with
a Marshall audiologist at either
the Placerville or Cameron Park
locations, call 530-344-2010 or visit
marshallhearing.org.
Hearing loss is the third most prevalent
medical condition in the United States,
falling just behind heart disease and
arthritis. The good news is that most
people can improve their hearing through
treatment. In fact, except in cases where
there is total hearing loss, almost everyone
will have treatment options available.
You can trust the Marshall Hearing Center
to provide the highest level of quality,
professional service provided by certified
audiologists. The team offers patients an
approach that combines cutting-edge
science with a personal touch.
“Many people don’t realize they have
hearing loss until it becomes a problem,”
says Mark Payne, Au.D., CCC-A, Marshall
Hearing Center.
Services include a complete hearing profile
and assessment as well as a medical
referral for hearing technology services
if necessary. While hearing loss cannot
be reversed, hearing aids and cochlear
implants have allowed thousands to
overcome their hearing issues.
Audiology services include:
• Diagnostic audiological evaluations for
adults and children
• Counseling and second opinion
evaluations
• Dispensing of digital, programmable and
conventional hearing devices
• Service, repair, and readjustments for
most brands of hearing devices
• Dispensing of Assistive Listening Devices
• Aural Rehabilitation
• Custom Ear Plugs & Swim Molds
• VNG Testing for vertigo.

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

worried about me. She asked if I was
open to trying a different type of pain
management program. I believed she
understood that I truly was in pain. I
was confident we could work together
and I wanted to try her plan.”
Those dependent on opioids for pain
management have
options including
treatment at
Marshall’s new
Clinically Assisted
Recovery and
Education Services
(CARES) clinic in
Placerville. Headed
by Loni Jay, MD,
the clinic provides
treatment with
medications that
not only address
pain but helps
lessen dependency
and withdrawal
symptoms. As part
of the program,
patients also receive
counseling and a support system.
Marshall CARES accepts El Dorado
County Medi-Cal and California
Health and Wellness and most PPO
insurance. For the uninsured or
under-insured, grants are available to
assist with cost, including gas cards to
help with transportation.
Recovery from opioid addiction is a
long and challenging process and it’s
essential that patients commit fully
to their recovery. Not only must they
overcome withdrawal, but also address
co-occurring conditions such as
depression, anger and anxiety, as well
as change their behavior and lifestyle
to avoid relapse. While some people
find themselves buying pills or heroin
off the street to get “high” and are stuck
in this cycle of addiction, other people
have come to long-term opioid use
from their experience of chronic pain.
While its known physical dependence
is not the same as addiction, some of
the same medications can still improve
the quality of these patients’ lives.
“After working with Dr. Jay for two
years, I have gotten down to 10-20%
of my previous prescription level. We
got the total dosage down so that more
painful flare ups can now be treated
when I go into the hospital, which
is important because of my ongoing
conditions,” says Gloria.
Adds Dr. Jay, “A
big issue we need
to overcome is the
stigma of the disease
of addiction as well
as the stigma of
chronic pain. The
cases we see of opioid
addiction often start
as a prescription
for acute or chronic
pain that grows into
a larger prescription,
then purchasing
pills off the street,
and before you
know it, the patient
is buying heroin
because it’s cheaper.
As physicians, we have to be careful
with our prescribing and be aware
addiction is a medical disease
process that deserves evidence-based
treatment. For our patients with
chronic pain, buprenorphine can
often help them manage pain with
much lower risk of overdose or the
development of tolerance.
Gloria agrees. “Buprenorphine more
effectively manages my chronic and
acute pain. It really reduces my cycle
of pain and withdrawal. That’s how
I got down to the lower dosage. On
the program, I can get medication for
pain and I’m not high all day. I can
function. I still have good days and
bad days, but I can drive, I can help
my husband with our business, I can
take my dogs for a walk and I can do
housework.”
“With chronic pain, it is so important
to find a doctor that recognizes the
implications and complications. I have
literally seen hundreds of doctors and
I’m really grateful I found Dr. Jay.”
Help for Addiction
If you are currently addicted to an opioid
like Norco, OxyContin or heroin and
want to break the cycle of use, you may
be a candidate for medication assisted
treatment at Marshall CARES. Utilizing
safe alternative medicine that relieves
the cravings and withdrawal symptoms,
a personal plan is created for your
recovery.
You can get help two ways:
1
In the event of an emergency such
as agonizing withdrawal, come to
the Marshall Hospital Emergency
Department. Opioid addiction treatment
is given at Marshall 24/7, through the ED
Bridge Program. A single visit can
provide 24 to 48 hours of withdrawal and
cravings suppression. You’ll be referred
to Marshall CARES (Clinically Assisted
Recovery & Education Services) for
follow up treatment.
2
Call Marshall CARES to make an
appointment. You may be referred
by your primary care provider or
self-refer for treatment. Marshall CARES
accepts El Dorado County Medi-Cal and
California Health and Wellness and most
PPO insurance. For those with no
insurance, grants are available to assist
with costs for opioid treatment.

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

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

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

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

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

and community ever since.
How are you involved with both the community and your
customer?

Sip and Stroll. Our clients love that our location brings amazing activities
and events that they’re able to participate in firsthand.

Our staff is, hands down, the best in the biz. These women are talented,
hardworking, and kind, with a little sassy kick to boot.

Academy—and locally. I started the business because I was grateful
for my early education in music. Growing up, I experienced a lot
of frustrations playing sports; as a result, I turned to music, which
gave me a new passion for life. I now make a full-time living doing it
and believe all children should have the opportunity to learn music.
Who is your role model in business or in life, and why?
My father. He’s a musician and has a wealth of knowledge in business.
