Style Magazine: March 2019
If your idea of exotic eating is ordering orange chicken at Panda Express, keep reading. Starting on page 43, Luna Anona takes you around the world (Afghanistan, El Salvador, Germany, Korea, Peru, and the list goes on) for a roundup of international eateries that are all found in our region—ultimately encouraging you to “Stay Local, Eat Global.” For each restaurant—50-plus of them—she guides you through the country’s respective cuisine and suggests a must-try menu item. Think of it as a passport for your palate and make it your mission to devour, or at least try, every single dish. Whether you find a new favorite food or not, you’ll have supported a small business and hopefully walked away with a new understanding and appreciation for a different type of dining. If you’re still hungry for more, flip to our newly expanded Eat & Drink section for a write-up about Milestone’s beloved brunch (page 84); the area’s top pub grub (page 87); and an overview of the coolest coffee shops, including an Italian-inspired café that pumps out some seriously pretty pastries (page 86). In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we present “3 Irish-Inspired Recipes” (page 88), including cookies made with pistachio pudding that are Style-tested and approved (true story: two dozen of them disappeared from our office in mere minutes!) and 7 must-try stouts from area breweries (page 90). And if all the aforementioned food has your stomach making unsavory sounds (everything in moderation, right?), fret not; turn to page 67 for an article about gut health and “The Benefits of Bacteria.” There’s plenty more in the pages that follow, so dig in and make it a March to remember. Cheers!

Giving Back: Single Mom Strong
In just over two years, local nonprofit Single Mom Strong has helped hundreds of single
mothers and their children flourish by empowering them through education, enrichment,
and educational programs. Inspiration for the organization came from founder and
executive director Tara Taylor's personal experience and the belief that single mothers
can be a professional success and a great parent despite what society says.

What’s the most “foreign” food you’ve ever
eaten? For me, it’s a tie between sheep’s cheek
(apparently the most tender part) and fermented
shark. Both bites (yes, one of each was all I
could stomach) happened while nannying in
Iceland. Though neither had me rushing to get
the recipes, the simple act of stepping out of my
cuisine comfort zone gave me an entirely new
insight into the country’s culture—and made for
some pretty epic pictures, too.
On a tastier note, the family also introduced me
to skyr, a ridiculously thick and creamy yogurt that’s
low in fat and incredibly high in protein; Brennivín, a
caraway-flavored liquor that’s akin to drinking boozy
black licorice; and the Icelandic hot dog (pylsa)—made
from organic, grass-fed, free-range, hormone-free (insert
all other positive meat modifiers) lamb and served on a
steamed bun with crispy fried onions, raw white onions,
rémoulade, ketchup, and sweet brown mustard—that,
“frank”ly, was the most delicious dog I’ve ever had.
If your idea of exotic eating is ordering orange chicken
at Panda Express, keep reading. Starting on page 43, Luna
Anona takes you around the world (Afghanistan, El
Salvador, Germany, Korea, Peru, and the list goes on) for
a roundup of international eateries that are all found in
our region—ultimately encouraging you to “Stay Local,
Eat Global.” For each restaurant—50-plus of them—she
guides you through the country’s respective cuisine and suggests a must-try menu item.
Think of it as a passport for your palate and make it your mission to devour, or at least
try, every single dish. Whether you find a new favorite food or not, you’ll have supported
a small business and hopefully walked away with a new understanding and appreciation
for a different type of dining.

WHAT'S THE
LUCKIEST THING
THAT'S EVER
HAPPENED TO YOU?
“Meeting a beautiful young woman,
who—seven years later—said ‘yes’
to my proposal. Fast forward and
we're a few months away from our
39th wedding anniversary.”
—Reg Holliday
"Being hired by Style Media Group
in 2005. Will this get me a raise?"
—Debra Linn
“Getting pregnant with my son, Jake. My
husband and I had just gotten married
and were unsure about starting a
family right away. While in the midst
of analyzing our life, our goals, and
our timing, the universe gave us
the most perfect baby, at the most
perfect time, in the most perfect
way. He's my March baby and
will always and forever be my lucky
charm.”—Aimee Carroll
’18
“My parents winning a visa from
a lottery to live and work in the
U.S.”—Gabriel Ionica
“I swam on the community swim team every
summer in grade school. One year, I met
a girl in my lane, we instantly clicked,
and did everything together. At
summer’s end, we promised we’d
always be friends, but I didn't see
her again for years. As luck would
have it, however, we were seated
next to each other on the first day
of seventh grade. We've been best
friends ever since.”
—Isabella De Garza
“When I won a trip to the Bahamas
during a fundraiser at my daughter’s
school. The prize included
accommodations at Atlantis
Paradise Island Resort and
airfare.”—Jami Areia
“On June 30, 1967, my widowed mother with
three boys married my stepfather—also
widowed with three boys. I wouldn’t
have believed it then, but having a
fireman-marine-ex-professional
baseball player come into our life
and being part of an all-boy Brady
Bunch was like winning the lottery
(only our fights were a little more
rambunctious). Luck or providence?
Either way, I’m grateful.”

SEASON’S EATINGS
You’ll see a lot of green at farmers’ markets this month. No, not
shamrocks (!)—leafy greens like kale, collard greens, and chard.
Packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber but low in calories,
eating a diet rich in these nutrient-dense veggies can reduce your
risk of obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure, in addition to
helping mental acuity. To learn more about these superfoods that are
currently in season and for the recipe to make Sautéed Greens with
Tamari, Honey, and Sesame, head to the web now.

GET TO KNOW
In 2005, Auburn resident Jenny Davidson’s
life was changed forever. Her son, Jordan,
was born with trisomy 18, a rare genetic
abnormality, and passed away after just 32
hours of life. While it was a terrible time for her
family, Davidson now credits the experience
with strengthening her resolve to make a
positive impact on her community. “I needed
to know I was making the world a better place
for the children who get to stay,” she recalls.
Davidson is now the CEO and executive
director of Stand Up Placer, a nonprofit that
provides crucial intervention and support
for victims of domestic violence, sexual
assault, and human trafficking. She was also
“I needed to know I
was making the world
a better place for the
children who get to stay.”
Q&A
What advice would you give to your
younger self?
Don’t put off getting your education.
What comes to you naturally?
I’m a natural-born learner. I love pursuing personal
growth and expanding my knowledge base.
What’s your biggest pet peeve?
Closed-mindedness.
Jenny Davidson
Biggest life inspirations?
My sons. I want to be the superhero they
think I am.
Best words of wisdom you’ve received?
Your trauma doesn’t define you. You
define you. It will change you, but you get
to decide what the change is; you get to
choose to survive.
one of only eight women in the U.S. who
made the BBC 100 Women 2018 list, which
celebrates female leaders, trailblazers, and
everyday heroes from around the world
who influence and inspire others. She’s
especially passionate about providing safe,
comfortable, and confidential housing—not
only to survivors of domestic abuse, but
also their pets, and explains that many
victims stay in abusive environments out of
reluctance to leave their pets behind with
an abuser. As a result of her efforts, Stand
Up Placer is now pet-friendly, and she hopes
other shelters will follow suit. For Davidson,
the best part of it all is being able to honor
Jordan by helping others get a new lease
on life. “We get to choose how trauma will
affect our lives,” she explains, adding, “My
son still makes a difference every day I get up
and go to work.”
Stand Up Placer’s annual fundraiser, Stand
Up and Dance, will take place on March 23 at
Orchard Creek Lodge from 6-10 p.m. For more

ask the experts
Q: How do you determine the best
size bed for your pet?
A: Make sure you know the
measurements of the bed you’re
interested in and compare them to
something you can easily measure
against in your house. Sometimes it’s
difficult to purely imagine how big
something is by measuring, say a couch
cushion, so comparing those to the bed
will you give a better idea of its size.
Measuring the space your dog uses when
they sleep will give you a good idea as to
how much room they need, too.

Q: How often should you practice
while learning a new instrument?
A: We suggest a minimum of 15 minutes
(or more) each day to yield better
results in instrument development. For
students who are in school, we suggest
saving math homework for last and
practicing the instrument first, since
the same parts of the brain are being
stimulated during math and
music. Every new student
goes through a honeymoon
phase in which
they’re fascinated
with their new
instrument. As the
student develops and learns
new and more difficult material,
however, everything becomes
more challenging. This is where
the discipline of practicing
every day (Monday-Friday) helps
students grow on a consistent basis.

Giving Back
Single Mom
Strong
Helping Women Find Their Wings
by LINDA HOLDERNESS | photos by DANTE FONTANA
Can women "have it all?" Not easily if they’re single
moms, says Tara Taylor, founder and executive director
of the nonprofit Single Mom Strong, which supports
women raising children alone. According to census
data, that’s one-quarter of all households in the
Sacramento area—households that often struggle to
provide their children with basic needs.
As a single mother herself for 18 years, now
remarried, Taylor dug into her own life to develop a
program that would offer the personal and professional support she knows
could have benefited her and her daughter. "I thought about my experiences
and challenges and wanted to find a way to make it easier for other moms,"
she says. In just two years, Single Mom Strong has undertaken an impressive
agenda of activities, and 240 single mothers have participated in at least one
of them. What’s more, there are no dues or attendance requirements either. "If
something interests you, [you can] just come on out," Taylor says.
The organization kicked off in December 2016 with an Adopt-a-Family
24 stylemg.com | MARCH 2019 | /stylemg /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags
event that provided holiday gifts to single
moms and their kids, an activity that has
continued annually. "The holidays can
be overwhelming," Taylor says. "A lot of
moms go into debt for their kids." This past
December, the group gave presents to 16
families and, from the generous donations,
had enough toys for four more families.
On Valentine’s Day this year—"a day
that can be tough for single moms"—the
group held a kid-friendly Love Your Life
celebration, featuring a gourmet meal,
champagne, and guest speakers.
Single Mom Strong’s core program
consists of a minimum of four events per
month, with childcare provided where
needed, and include:
MOTHER AND CHILD: An activity such
as roller skating or visiting the zoo that
promotes affordable bonding time with
children and one another.
MOM’S NIGHT OUT: A fun evening to give
single moms a much-needed break.
EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOPS: Courses
offering moms resources and life skills,
such as goal setting. time management, and
self-defense. Taylor, a life coach, leads some
of the classes, while other single mothers
and industry professionals lead ones in
their respective areas of expertise.
New programs set to start this year include:
MEN’S MENTORSHIP PROGRAM: Provides
positive, caring male role models for the
children. Men are trained and commit to
one activity per month.
SUMMER CAMPS: Helps solve the problem
of finding summer day care with affordable
weeklong camps based around different
themes; expected to open in June.
EMPOWERMENT CENTER WITH CO-OP
DAY CARE: Single Mom Strong's new
home in Citrus Heights, slated to open in
May, features an atrium with an indoor
playground. The day care center, open from
6:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. for full-time or dropin
needs, is staffed by a paid teacher and
parent volunteers.
What else is in store for the future?
According to Taylor, expansion to other
cities. “There’s nothing like Single Mom
Strong anywhere else in the country.”
She’s already developing a manual for
starting other chapters. If it seems like
she’s moving fast, it's because she has to.
“I’m trying to keep up with the speed of
my dreams.”

Spotlight on
Bruce
Gruenzel
by HEATHER L. BECKER
Born and raised
in Wisconsin,
painter and current
Placerville resident Bruce
Gruenzel has been enthralled
by the ocean ever since he
first laid eyes upon it. His
affinity for it runs so deep, in
fact, that seascapes—and their
varying colors and moods—
are often the main themes
of his work. “My respect for
the ocean’s movements and
force was further instilled
during the 15 years I spent
as a lifeguard [in] Southern
California,” shares Gruenzel. “I
hope to bring the excitement
of those experiences to the
canvas.” Both self-taught
and professionally instructed
at the New Renaissance
Academy School of Living
Oils on Whidbey Island in
Washington—where he dove
deep into color theory and
composition, developing the
foundation for his current
technique of painting in
multiple layers to create
greater depth—Gruenzel’s
work can be viewed at Gold
Country Artists’ Gallery (379
Main Street) in Placerville.

| arts & entertainment |
HLB: When did you discover your talent and passion for art?
BG: I became interested in art as a child [and would draw] whatever
came into my head. Encouraged by my grandfather and parents, I
learned how to accept suggestions and critiques early on. I never
really lost this passion, but school and sports kept me busy during
my teenage years, so I was only able to occasionally create pencil
and charcoal drawings.
HLB: How did seeing the ocean for the first time influence your
work?
BG: When I came to California in the mid-’50s and saw the ocean,
it was a great visual inspiration. Even though there were waves on
Lake Michigan where I was raised, the ocean was certainly on a
grander scale with the rock formations, the crashing waves, and
the ever-changing array of colors in the ebb and flow of the water.
[Around that time], I received a Grumbacher oil painting set as a gift.
Not having any experience with the medium, I purchased several
Walter Foster books and was immediately hooked.
HLB: Why are you drawn to oil and what are its challenges?
BG: I love painting in oils because the fluidity of the medium allows
me to blend and feather the colors with little separation, especially
clouds and water. One of the major challenges is color. I have to
ask myself, “What are the actual colors of the sea at this particular
time?”
(Top; L to R) View from Kirby Beach,
Gaff Rigged Dory
(Middle; L to R) Alone 2, The Searchers
(Below) The Last of the Wanderer
HLB: Do you have a favorite amongst your paintings?
BG: Of all my works, three stand out as my favorites: The Last of the
Wanderer, which was repainted several times until I was satisfied;
View from Kirby Beach, because I achieved 98 percent of what I
imagined; and Gaff Rigged Dory, which flowed from my brush as if
it had a mind of its own.
HLB: Do you have any advice for artists just starting out?
BG: I recommend seeking out qualified instructors who will teach
you the basics without derailing your creativity. Also, learn color.
There are countless colors available, [but] start by practicing with the
primary ones. Lastly, learn to accept criticism with an open mind.
But above all: paint, paint, paint.

MUST-TRY DISH: Lemon Tart (glutenfree
almond flour crust filled with
fresh-squeezed lemon curd)
1. Ginger, turmeric, and lemongrass—
ingredients commonly found in
Thai dishes—aren’t just delicious:
They’re also medicinal. Ginger and
turmeric have anti-inflammatory
properties, and ginger is thought
to aid in digestion and circulation.
Lemongrass is reportedly an antidote
for stomachaches, headaches, and
even the common cold.
2. Chili peppers are thought to first
have been domesticated in Mexico
nearly 5,000 years ago, but now
China is the top producer of the
chili pepper.
3. While cassava hasn’t quite caught on
in the U.S., it’s actually the third most
popular carbohydrate on the planet.
This drought-tolerant root vegetable
is a major staple in much of the
developing world, with Nigeria being
its largest producer.
4. Sushi is meant to be eaten in one
bite. If you dip it in soy sauce,
don’t commit the cardinal sin of
leaving behind rice in the bowl or
mixing together a wasabi dipping
concoction. And the ginger on your
plate? It’s meant as a palate cleanser.
5. In the 1800s, Italy invented the
Margherita (no, not margarita) pizza,
named for Queen Margherita. The
red tomatoes, white mozzarella,
and green basil aren’t a color
coincidence—they represent the
colors of Italy's flag.
6. Favorite pizza toppings around the
world differ. In Brazil, it’s green peas.
In Germany, canned tuna is popular.
In India, pickled ginger and minced
mutton top the list.
7. Bread isn’t a traditional staple in East
Asia, but Vietnam is an exception.
French colonists introduced
baguettes to the country, which the
Vietnamese adapted. Now, you can
find Vietnamese baguettes on every
street corner—and in the famous
sandwich: bahn mi.
8. In France, approximately 500 million
snails (escargot) are eaten every year.
9. Traditionally, wheat noodles are the
main staple of Northern Chinese
diets, and rice is the main staple in
the South. Noodles are also found in
Southern Chinese diets, of course,
but they’re typically rice noodles.
10. Most people know one kind of
paprika—and maybe a smoked
paprika, if you’re fancy. In Hungary,
there are eight different flavor
profiles of paprika, ranging from
sweet and mild to pungent and spicy.

Health benefits are an extra benefit
when enjoying the delicious and
authentic Thai food served at Thai
Paradise restaurant.
What makes Thai food healthy is how it is
cooked and the ingredients used. At Thai
Paradise food is cooked with expensive and
healthy rice bran oil like what is used in
Thailand. Most restaurants use other oils
that cost less. Thai Paradise also uses local
Farm-to-Fork ingredients, fresh vegetables
and meats purchased daily.
The ingredients in many Thai Paradise
dishes include several that are known
to improve our health. Turmeric is antiinflammatory
and an anti-oxidant. It aids
digestion, arthritis, the heart, and may
protect against bacteria and some cancers
(per animal studies). Galanga is used in
Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.

PROFESSION: As a young adult, I had a
dream that I would be able to change
the world. I carried that dream into

I’m able to accurately measure their
progress. There’s no greater joy than
knowing I’ve helped an individual live

their lifespan, helping them keep up
with their grandchildren, or finishing a
race. Their dreams become my reality

incredibly rewarding.

ago, my wife and I traded in our minivan
for a Toyota 4Runner. We needed a
four-wheel drive vehical and plan on
taking advantage of our proximity to the
mountains.

FIND ME: At home. As I've gotten older,
I've become a homebody. I love doing
simple projects around the house and
spending time with my wife and young
children. When not at home, you'll find me
outdoors—hiking, snowboarding, boating,
or biking. We’re also blessed with an
incredible network of friends and spend as
much time with them as possible.
I LOVE LIVING HERE, BECAUSE: I can
breathe clearly. I’m a mountain man at
heart and living here recharges me.

Gut
Your
The Benefits
of Bacteria
by KOURTNEY JASON
Photo ©T. L. Furrer - stock.adobe.com.
You’ve likely heard the phrase,
“You are what you eat.”
Thanks to research into the importance of our gut
health, however, this statement is only partially accurate.
Your gut health has a big influence on all aspects of
your well-being. “Even if you’re eating a healthy diet, you
must be able to properly digest and absorb nutrients,
so they can be used for energy in the body,” explains
Rachael Dardano, CHHC, holistic nutritionist and
digestive specialist at Internal Wisdom in Folsom.
MARCH 2019 | stylemg.com 67
| health & wellness |
“When your gut is
in order, you have a
stronger immune system,
your emotional health
(depression, anxiety, etc.)
is in balance, you have
zero skin issues, allergies
are kept in check, your
sleep is optimal, and
energy is restored.”
“The gastrointestinal system, also referred to
as the digestive system or gut, is a group of
organs that include the mouth, esophagus,
stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small
intestine, colon, and rectum,” Dardano says.
“The gut serves many essential roles in
sustaining and protecting the overall health
and wellness of our bodies.”
To explain further, your gut is full
of “good” bacteria and “bad” bacteria,
according to Stacey Maedge, NTP, and
owner at Gut Check Nutritional Therapy
in Loomis. “In a balanced, healthy gut, the
good bacteria overpopulate the bad and
keep things running smoothly,” she says.
“When your gut is in order, you have a
stronger immune system, your emotional
health (depression, anxiety, etc.) is in
balance, you have zero skin issues, allergies
are kept in check, your sleep is optimal, and
energy is restored.”
“When your gut is not in tip-top shape
and the ‘bad’ bacteria take over, you may
experience bloating, diarrhea, constipation,
food allergies or sensitivities, nutritional
deficiencies, excessive fatigue, cravings
for sugar, or worse,” says Anna Rashidi,
PharmD, at Innovative Compounding
Pharmacy in Folsom.
To maintain a happy, healthy gut,
Kathryn Boulter, ND, at Revolutions
Naturopathic with locations in Roseville
and Folsom, suggests eating a diet rich
in whole foods—one that’s mostly [plantbased]
and low in animal protein, sugar,
and processed foods. “Eating a variety of
vegetables is the best way to get vitamins,
minerals, and fiber, which are essential for
a healthy gut,” she says.
According to Maedge, you can boost
the “good” bacteria by eating a variety of
fermented foods, such as live sauerkraut/
kimchi, and other fermented vegetables
and live yogurts that are low in sugar.
Another option is to take a probiotic
supplement. “Buy one brand and once
you finish the bottle, buy one with a
totally different strain of bacteria in it,”
she recommends. “This will help diversify
your ‘good’ bugs.”
If you’re someone who often
experiences heartburn (aka, acid reflux or
GERD), consistency to your meals is key.
“Eating three balanced meals at consistent
times throughout the day is essential for
digestion,” says John McCracken, MD, Chief
of Gastroenterology at Kaiser Permanente
Roseville and Sacramento. “Skipping meals
results in acid or enzymes in the gut that
can damage the stomach or esophagus.
The largest meal should be in the morning
or noon hours with a lighter meal in the
evening.” He also suggests limiting your
coffee and alcohol intake, as both can
trigger heartburn symptoms.
Sooraj Tejaswi, MD, MSPH, Associate
Clinical Professor of Gastroenterology and
Hepatology at UC Davis Medical Center,
says, “All individuals will—at some point
in their lives—transiently experience signs
or symptoms of digestive problems, such
as abdominal pain, bloating, heartburn,
nausea, or vomiting...Yet, when these
symptoms persist for days to weeks or
months, it may be time to seek medical
attention.”

5 Spring-Cleaning Strategies
by KERRIE L. KELLY, FASID
As we get ready for warmer weather and longer,
brighter days, the time is right to develop a springcleaning
strategy. Whether you’re overloaded with
unwanted gifts from the holidays or simply need to organize
papers and prepare for tax season, we have five easy ideas to
help you create an oasis so you’re able to enjoy the season with
a clean, clutter-free home.

1 out with the old
Decluttering isn’t always an easy task. With collected items over the years, it can be
challenging to decide what to keep and what to donate or toss. Author, Netflix star, and
organizing expert, Marie Kondo, has truly made a science of how to assist you. She
suggests starting with an easier level of difficulty and then moving on to the most
difficult. First, declutter your clothes; next, move on to books, papers, and
miscellaneous items, saving your mementos for last. Find items in each of those
categories throughout your home so you know what you truly own. The key is to keep
only the things that "spark joy" and donate, mend, or throw away those that don’t.
2 everything in its place
Once you’ve decided what you want to keep, organizers—in the form of racks, trays,
and boxes—can be a huge help in keeping the space uncluttered. For the kitchen
area, spice racks can assist in maintaining a tidy cupboard. See-through glass storage
containers allow you to have Instagram-worthy pantries and refrigerators, too.
When it comes to closets, matching hangers keep clothes the same height and
make it easier to see all your garments. Shoe organizers are terrific, too, and help
keep your newly clutter-free area organized. Don’t hesitate to use your favorite
fashion boxes for organizing scarves, jewelry, and other special items.
3 appliance attention
We’re typically in the habit of cleaning out our refrigerator periodically or wiping
down the cooktop on occasion, but how many of us clean our dishwasher or
washing machine? They need a little attention, too. To clean out the mildew and soap
scum that can develop in the interior of the washing machine, run an empty cycle
MARCH 2019 | stylemg.com 77
| home + garden |
with hot water and a couple cups of white vinegar. Your
dishwasher can be freshened up and sanitized by
placing a bowl of vinegar on the lower shelf and
running a normal cycle without dishes. Running equal
parts water and vinegar through your coffee machine
(and following up with a cycle of just water) ensures
your next cup of joe will be delicious and fresh.
4 bust dust
Be sure to look up at your ceiling and down at
your baseboards. We don't always see the dust
accumulating on ceiling fans, but it happens over
time. An easy way to clean the blades is to drape
an old pillowcase over each one, press down with
your hands on each side, and then slide it off. Keep
your ceiling vents sanitary by replacing filters and
cleaning air vents periodically; clear away cobwebs
in each room’s corners; and dust light bulbs and
ceiling fixtures to brighten up a space (dust can
make lighting appear dingy). Baseboards are another
area that accumulates dust over time. Wipe them
down with a soft, microfiber cloth.
5 clean sleep
Since we spend a third of our life in bed, freshening
up your mattress and pillows is definitely worth the
effort. Sprinkle some baking soda over the mattress
top and let it sit for several hours before removing
it with a vacuum cleaner’s upholstery attachment.
Pillows should also be washed to remove bacteria
and dust—most are machine washable. Now you’re
ready for a good night's sleep after all of your
cleaning and organizing efforts!

A New Approach to Care in the ICU

BETTER CARE FOR YOU
A new approach to
care in the ICU
The Intensive Care Unit (or ICU)
is the area of the hospital where
the most serious patients receive
care. It’s specially built, with
more equipment and staff than
other areas of the hospital. Traditionally,
hospitals rely on consulting physicians
to round on ICU patients. At Marshall
Medical Center, ICU patients benefit from
a new model where the patients receive
24/7 specialized care delivered by four new
intensivist physicians. These doctors have
additional training in critical care and are
able to place breathing tubes, start central
and arterial lines, place dialysis catheters and
Help your body heal itself
with orthobiologics
• Tendonitis
• Rotator cuff tears
• Osteoarthritis
Are you suffering from pain or injury but are not quite ready
for surgery? Take a cue from professional athletes who’ve
discovered the benefits of regenerative medicine to help heal
injuries and treat pain in a natural way.
If you follow sports, you may have heard of injured athletes who
seemingly heal and return to the game—and fast. Professional
athletes not only have trainers and specialists, but have access
to little-known special procedures such as orthobiologics, is the
use of natural, biological substances like blood and plasma to
quickly heal injuries such as:
• Arthritic joints
• Overuse injuries
Platelet rich plasma injection, or PRP, is one example of orthobiologics.
It’s a process that takes the plasma from your own blood, which is
packaged full of growth factors. Those healthy growth factors are then
concentrated by spinning the blood in a centrifuge and isolating those
platelets and injecting them into your injury. This lets your body repair
the injured tissue, allowing natural anti-inflammatory properties repair
tissue and speed up your recovery.
One of the great things about orthobiologics is it uses your body’s own
healing abilities, increasing their potency and then puts them back into
an area of interest. Since these cells are harvested from your own tissue,
there’s no need to use tissue from a donor. It works simply by using
biology to heal your tissues in a natural way.
perform other procedures. Under this model,
patients won’t have to wait for specialists
from other areas of the hospital to become
available and travel to the ICU. Full time
intensivist coverage improves patient care
and outcomes for ICU patients. Since the
program started late last year, patients have
experienced decreased time on ventilators
and the average length of stay in the ICU has
decreased by two full days.
The addition of this intensivist program helps
Marshall maintain best practices for ICU
standards of care, which means better care
for you.

Marshall Celebrates
60 Years
A look back at how a
community built a hospital
The setting was 1956, in the sleepy foothill city of
Placerville, where determined citizens led the charge
to build a modern hospital. Ed Shortes, MD, a young
doctor who joined a local medical practice, sought to replace
the outdated and inefficient Placerville Sanatorium, which
had served as the local hospital since 1904.
The “San,” as it was called, was a two-story building illfitted
for a hospital; patients had to be carried upstairs on a
stretcher for surgery and to deliver babies and then carried
back down again. The building was small and no longer fit the
need for the county’s population, which had doubled in the
previous 10 years.
What happened next had the makings of a movie plot.
Citizens pulled together, sought support and built
momentum in the community. The timing was perfect.
Congress had passed the Hill-Burton Act, a law that gave
funds to build hospitals. The Hill-Burton Act provided for
two-thirds of the costs of the hospital construction. The catch
was that the community had to raise the other third in cash
and pledges. The total cost to build the proposed 52-bed
hospital was $1,085,000, meaning the community buy-in
stood at $411,692. Confident in their resolve, the first Marshall
Hospital Board of Directors was established and incorporated
by the spring of 1957. The application for funding was
submitted and approved by August of that year. The race was
on. Placerville had just four short months to come up with
their third of the funds.
To put things in perspective, the average income in 1956 was
$4,454 a year; a house cost $9,550; milk was 97 cents a gallon
and a loaf of bread was18 cents. How could this rural county
of 29,000 residents even think to try and raise nearly half a
million dollars in such short order? The answer: sheer tenacity.
Michigan-Cal Lumber, the largest employer in El Dorado
County at the time, donated the first $100,000 and land
on which the new hospital would be built. Churches and
service clubs like Rotary and the 20/30 Club held fundraisers,
businesses gave, citizens pledged and several doctors pledged
half a year’s pay to the fund.
It was a
Herculean effort, but 10
days before the December
7, 1957 deadline, the fund
was still $27,000 short.
With no possibility for an
extension, the community
knew it was now or never as
an 11th hour plea went out.
The suggested minimum
pledge was $5 per month for
18 months, or $90.
DID YOU KNOW
Four days before the deadline, the Mountain Democrat
newspaper carried a simple headline: “SUCCESS” Donors
Boost Funds Past Goal. In the end, the fundraising campaign
surpassed its goal by $51,514. One can imagine it was a
scene straight out of It’s a Wonderful Life, with townspeople
emptying their coffers to save a cause they believed in, to
invest in the community and its health. The Mountain
Democrat wrote, “It was the most worthwhile project ever
undertaken… and truly shows that El Dorado County can and
does band together for the betterment of the community.”
Marshall Hospital was built and opened in July, 1959.
Today, Marshall Hospital celebrates 60 years and stands
as one of the few remaining independent hospitals in the
nation. Marshall attributes its success to local governance by
a volunteer community board of directors and local hospital
authority, which allows for quick and nimble management
and reinvestment of profits back into improving the nonprofit
community hospital. For more information, visit www.

COVER STORY
A lasting
impression
SPECIAL AD SECTION
So much good
was done for me at
Marshall, I wanted
to do some good
there too.
As a teenager, Nat Sherrill’s first job was night-shift
maintenance work at a hospital. “I got to see behind the
scenes,” he says, reflecting on the hard work he observed
by both caregivers and grounds maintenance staff alike.
That experience stuck with him in the more than six
decades since.
Hard work was not lost on Nat and his wife, Jan, both in
their 80s now and retired in the Central California Coast.
Professionally, Nat worked as an engineer for the US Geological Survey and Jan
as an administrator at Stanford University. But what ultimately defined them was
their passion for wine, and eventually, wine making. Nat and Jan began making
wine in 1971 as a hobby, “before it was a fashionable thing to do,” in a small cellar
next to their garage.
Jan felt it silly to spend money on a hobby and suggested they make it a business.
They opened Sherrill Cellars in 1973 in the basement of the post office in Woodside
and expanded over time, acquiring 25 acres in Palo Alto where they built a winery
surrounded by vineyards and a community of local vintners that became their family.

ago, Nat and Jan experienced a lifealtering
experience while visiting
friends in the area. “It was 2009,”
said Nat. “I wasn’t feeling well. I saw
a doctor and was treated for internal
bleeding.” After eventually getting a
clean bill of health, they decided to
travel to El Dorado County for a visit.
Unfortunately, this was the time they
discovered Nat’s internal bleeding
hadn’t been resolved after all. After
passing out from severe blood loss,
Nat was rushed to Marshall Hospital’s
Emergency Room. “I was in poor
shape when I arrived at Marshall,”
he recalled. “One of the things I do
remember was a nurse saying, ‘my
god, look at his color!’” Nat was given
10 units of blood and spent six days in
Marshall’s Intensive Care Unit.
This was not the vacation they had
envisioned, but the Sherrills were
grateful for the care. “I was stunned at
the contrast between my local hospital
and Marshall and I still am, to this day,”
shares Nat. He spoke wistfully at the
expertise and bedside manner of all who
cared for him. “It was above and beyond
what I’d ever experienced at a hospital.
It’s difficult to explain to people what
staying there was like. It was more like a
resort than a hospital. The care was top
notch and the food was sensational. It
was tasty and well-prepared.”
seem to get the short end of the stick. So
I’ve made sure some money will go to
them, as well as the ER, which always
needs money.”
“You never know how your everyday
work will impact others,” says Jamie
Johnson, Executive Director of the
Marshall Foundation for Community
Health. “It is heartwarming to hear this
story and we are honored to receive this
legacy gift recognizing the excellent care
and lasting impression Marshall has left
on the Sherrill family.”
By 1981 the winery became Jan’s fulltime
venture. Sherrill Cellars was a
modest success, annually producing
up to 2,000 cases of Chardonnay,
Zinfandel, Chenin Blanc, Petite Syrah,
Cabernet and Barbera sold to local
stores on the peninsula.
In 1995, Nat and Jan retired, sold the
winery and moved to a ranch on the
Central Coast. Ever the gentleman
farmers, the Sherrills decided then
to raise alpacas. Each day, they
experience the soothing peace of
watching alpacas graze on their
pasture.
Though the Sherrills have never lived
in El Dorado County, about ten years
And so it came full circle – from the
experience of his youth working in a
hospital – to becoming the recipient of
the dedicated care and compassion that
saved his life. Nat and Jan did not have
children, so when it came to deciding
where to leave his half of their estate, Nat
decided to leave a substantial amount to
Marshall Medical Center. “So much good
was done for me at Marshall, I wanted
to do some good there too,” he says. “As
a consumer of quite a bit of medical
care, I know how important continuous
training and education are to medical
professionals.” He has allotted a portion
of his gift to the continuing medical
education of nurses to return what was
generously given to him. Referring
back to his memories of working
maintenance at the hospital, Nat adds,
“Even at 16 I could appreciate that the

Surgery in a New Age
The art of surgery has
come quite far in the
past decade. Procedures
that used to involve
large incisions and
lengthy, painful recoveries can now
be performed with only a few small
incisions. With the help of modern tools
such as the da Vinci surgical robot,
surgeons can manipulate instruments
more acutely. With just one instrument,
surgeons are able to grasp, cut and
coagulate, almost negating the need to
use stitches and reducing the amount
of blood lost during surgery. Surgeons
are further assisted with a more refined
3-D camera. This allows surgeons to
conduct a wider variety of surgeries
laparoscopically. Patients will have less
pain, leave the hospital more quickly
and get back to normal activities sooner.
Marshall Medical Center is now home
to a new, upgraded da Vinci surgical
robot, the Xi model, for minimally
invasive surgery. Robert Carter,
gynecologist at Marshall OB/GYN,
has performed hundreds of robotic
surgeries. “The new robot provides
better optics, more flexibility and
smaller instruments,” he adds.
Utilizing the da Vinci robot, Marshall
has set a superb standard of care with
better outcomes. For example, patients
who’ve undergone an outpatient
hysterectomy at other hospitals would
spend up to 24 hours at the surgery
center, while Marshall patients typically
go home after only four hours. Some
patients even return to work in as little
as one week following surgery.
Minimally invasive robotic-assisted
surgery may be used for conditions
such as:
• Hysterectomy
• Inguinal, hiatal and ventral hernia
repairs
• Diverticulitis, sessile polyp
• Colon cancer, pre- or malignant
polyp
• Foregut surgery – anti-reflux
Talk to your physician about the
availability and appropriateness of da
Vinci surgery for your condition. The
medical experts at Marshall Medical
Center are ready to help.

The Importance of Immunizations
Some parents may be nervous about immunizing their
children, but doctors want you to know vaccinations are
important both for the health of your child and for the health
of others. When a population is immunized, the diseases
become less prevalent and therefore reduce the number of deaths
associated with them.
Rest assured, if your child has a negative reaction to any
immunization, your pediatrician or family medicine practitioner
will adjust the immunization appropriately. Most commonly, an
unusual reaction will occur for immunizations given in groups, such
as measles, mumps and
rubella. In this case, the
doctor may choose to space
these out over a few months
to reduce the likelihood of a
negative reaction.

elationship with our new patient and
to discuss important subjects such
as safer sex, contraception, sexually
transmitted diseases, menstruation,
personal hygiene and any concerns
a young woman may have about her
body and how it’s changing.” She adds
that the early teen years can be rife with
concerns about body image, weight,
and many emotionally difficult things a
girl may be growing through. “We try to
make that first visit as comfortable and
open as possible, where the patient feels
free to be honest about their concerns
with an impartial person who cares
about their health.”
Your teen’s
first GYN visit
It’s a delicate topic for
young women and their
parents alike, but the
conversation about a girl’s
changing body during
puberty should not be
delayed. Young women are
maturing more quickly
these days and the cause
is a source of debate,
but this merely means that keeping
communication open and honest is more
important than ever. A key question to
answer is, when is the right time for that
all-important first appointment with an
OB/GYN physician?
Pediatricians and family practice
physicians provide important,
comprehensive care for the first years
of life, but depending on the provider,
not all may feel comfortable extending
that care to specifically female needs.
That’s where a trained specialist in
women’s health comes in. One like
Michele Cherry, DO, an obstetrics and
gynecology physician at Marshall OB/
GYN in Placerville. She’s careful to
point out there are different types of
appointments that are appropriate
depending on a young woman’s age and
specific female health needs.
“Barring health concerns, pregnancy,
difficult menstruation or infections, I
recommend that young women have
their first internal pelvic exam, pap
test and breast exam at 21 years of age,”
Dr. Cherry explains. “However, it’s a
good idea for girls to have an initial
consultation and visit with an OB/
GYN doctor in their early teen years,
somewhere between 13 and 15.”
The difference between the two types of
appointments is that for younger girls --
again barring early sexual activity-- the
visit with their new OB/GYN is focused
on patient education. Dr. Cherry says,
“It’s a chance for us to establish the
If a teen girl is sexually active, a
complete examination including pelvic
and pap test is crucial, to ensure no
infections are present and to educate
the patient about making smart choices
and protecting herself and her growing
and changing body. For the teen girl
who is not sexually active, this first
appointment with an OB/GYN provider
is equally important, though lacking
the exam component for good reason.
ACOG reports there is no clinical
support for a pelvic exam or screening
prior to 21 years of age in a nonsexually
active patient without female
health concerns.
As Dr. Cherry explains, “an initial
appointment in early teen years is
an ideal way to establish a trusting
relationship between patient and
physician and to introduce young
women to important topics during a
non-threatening, pleasant visit that
doesn’t include the pelvic or breast
exam component, which can be
intimidating to younger girls.”
Marshall OB/GYN providers are
currently accepting new patients.

DINING OUT
Milestone
BY LORN RANDALL // PHOTOS BY MENKA BELGAL
I always look forward to brunch. Enjoying a Sunday out
with loved ones never fails to set the tone for the remnants
of a busy weekend—aka, relaxing at home. With that in
mind, I made my way to Milestone in El Dorado Hills. What I
discovered was a modern, cozy, and comfortable restaurant
filled with friendly faces.

SOS
“NOW I KNOW WHY
EVERYONE IN THE PLACE
WAS HAPPY—BACON
PANCAKE DONUT HOLES
DUSTED WITH POWDERED
SUGAR ALONGSIDE
WARM MAPLE SYRUP
WOULD BRING A SMILE TO
ANYONE’S FACE.”
It should come as no surprise to anyone that I’m a proponent of
independently owned and operated establishments—and chef-owners,
such as Milestone’s Nick Dedier, are at the top of the food chain in my book.
Along with his wife, Alexa, they’ve constructed a morning menu that’s worth
waking up for. (Lunch and dinner are equally impressive.) A small pastry,
while our table talked and enjoyed coffee and mimosas, was a sublime start.
“Bacon pancake donut holes?” our server asked. Naturally, we said
yes. Now I know why everyone in the place was happy—bacon pancake
donut holes dusted with powdered sugar alongside warm maple syrup
would bring a smile to anyone’s face.
From here on out, the possibilities had my brain scrambling: “What to
do? What to do?” How about something I hated as a kid. If Milestone could
pull off SOS (chipped beef on toast), I’d be a forever fan. Well, they must’ve
seen me coming. The new and (greatly) improved version here included
wonderfully succulent shredded short ribs in a rich, creamy gravy with
fried eggs atop toast. If only my dad had known about short ribs…
Next was Milestone’s take on huevos
rancheros—a hearty, Cabo resort-style version
with black beans, shredded potatoes, overmedium
eggs, farmers’ cheese, pickled carrots,
cilantro, and large grilled shrimp in a tantalizing,
slightly piquant South-of-the-border sauce. Muy
delicioso!
Once more from the “count your calories
tomorrow” mantra, I had to try the French dip
Benedict with sliced wagyu beef, grilled onions,
horseradish, poached eggs, cheese, and a silky
demi-glace finish; in other words, decadence
defined. Each bite had me brainstorming how I’d
Huevos Rancheros attempt to recreate it at home.
Moving on to something light, I opted for
one of my favorite flavor combinations: a savory tartine with warm brie,
apples, chicken, and walnuts. Served with a house salad, it was a simple yet
satisfying choice—the perfect complement to a chilled glass of champagne
and the end of a late-morning celebration of good food and friends.
Thank you, Alexa and Nick, for an enjoyable dining experience and your
commitment to “Milestone for All”—a growing fund for deserving families
affected by natural disasters or unforeseen hardships.

Dolce Vita Caffé // When I walked into Folsom’s newest café, Dolce Vita, I felt like I’d been transported straight
to Italy. Beautiful Italian-inspired desserts dying to be devoured from the glass-enclosed case, Frank Sinatra crooning in the
background, and a life-sized mural of Venice all serve as reminders of the bel paese (beautiful country). I was immediately
drawn to the baked goods, because who wouldn’t be? Croissants, tarts, cakes, and cannolis were all fighting for my attention.
My friend and I decided to have the homemade Bacon Quiche and a Latté to start. Other breakfast options include
Belgian waffles, apple-filled pancakes, bagels, and pastries aplenty. The savory quiche hit the spot, but we were ready for
something sweet. I’m a sucker for fried anything, so we went with the Trio of Beignets. One was filled with Nutella, one
with dark chocolate, and one with white chocolate—all of them equally scrumptious. I’ll have to go back for lunch (and more
dessert), because their sandwiches and salads looked amazing. Owners Joseph and Denise did a fantastic job bringing a
taste of Italy to Folsom. From coffee to gelato, and tiramisu to paninis, you feel the authentic Italian touch in every nook and
cranny. Enjoy la dolce vita (the sweet life) for yourself seven days a week for breakfast, lunch…or just dessert! 1008 Riley

Cheerful environs, an abundance of alcohol, and stick-to-yourribs
food—what’s not to love about pubs? Luckily, they run
rampant around these parts. Enjoy the plates below with a pint,
and let the good times roll.
The aptly named Loaded
Nachos at Bar 101 in
Roseville are the perfect
shareable before a night
of imbibing. A heaping
helping of crispy chips
are coated in cheesy
goodness and piled
high with a bevy of tasty
toppings: black olives,
fresh guac, sour cream,
pico de gallo, jalapeños,
refried beans, green
onions, and your choice
of protein (shredded
chicken, carnitas, or
ground beef). With so
many fresh fixin’s and just
enough guilt, it’s a dish
you’ll regularly return to.

I always drool when
it comes to anything
with blue cheese and
bacon. That being said,
I recently tried the The
Bleu Cue Burger at The
Breakroom in Shingle
Springs and departed
incredibly satisfied and
satiated. It was every bit
as heavenly as I’d hoped.
The 1/3-pound patty
was juicy and fresh, and
the combination of blue
cheese and applewood
smoked bacon with
lettuce, tomato, fried
onions, and mayo was
a messy mouthful that
I’ll gladly order again.

The Fat Rabbit Public
House in Folsom has
been serving up Fish
& Chips for quite some
time in their traditional
English pub environs,
and they’re a great
catch (pun intended).
The generous portion
of cod is always fresh
and perfectly fried; and
paired with the crispy,
lightly salted, thick-cut
chips, malt vinegar, and
tartar sauce, I’m never
sure what to dig, or dip,
into first. facebook.com/

An entire foot-long beer
dog coated in hot, gooey
pub mac & cheese and
dressed with potato chips
and ketchup is enough
to make anyone’s day
(or year). That’s why I
always get the Whiskey
Tango Footlong at
Placerville Public House.
It’s made me smile on
enough occasions that
I’ve stopped asking for
a menu altogether! Can
you blame me though?

Comfort food, for me,
has always meant a
freshly baked meat pie
with a savory exterior
and indulgent interior,
and that’s exactly what
I’ve found in the Cottage
Pie at 36 Handles in El
Dorado Hills. Every forkful
is chock-full of minced
meat (Certified Angus
Beef) and English peas
enveloped in a rich,
tomato-based sauce with
a buttery mashed potato
topping. If my mom wasn’t
always my dinner date,
I’d think she was in the
kitchen! 36handles.com
There aren’t enough
words to describe the
aptly named Blind
Pig Mac at Rocklin’s
Boneshaker Public
House. But that won’t
stop me from trying. The
sweetness of the pulled
pork, al dente penne
pasta, and creaminess
of the melty mozzarellacheddar
cheese combo
makes for quite the sinful
delight. Did I mention it
has bacon and bratwurst,
too? It’s official: I’m
never eating plain
mac & cheese again.

Boxty
Submitted by The Monk’s Cellar, 240 Vernon Street, Roseville, 916-
786-6665, monkscellar.com
An Irish potato pancake, boxty has been around for hundreds
of years in Ireland and is often eaten as a side dish at breakfast.
Nowadays, it's dressed up quite a bit, often layered with meats and
vegetables.
1 cup raw potato, grated
1 cup previously boiled and
mashed potatoes, chilled
1 cup flour
1/4 cup milk
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 tsp. fresh rosemary,
chopped
1 tbsp. onion, minced
1 tbsp. button mushrooms,
minced
1 1/2 tbsp. salt, plus more for
serving
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tbsp. butter
Place grated potatoes in cloth (or
cheesecloth) and squeeze out as much
liquid as possible. Combine cold mashed
potatoes with grated potatoes, flour, milk,
baking powder, herbs, minced onion,
mushrooms, salt, and pepper.
Roll dough into a 3” x 2” log or cylinder.
Try to pack your potato mixture into this
log shape tightly, which can be done by
spooning the mixture onto cheesecloth
and rolling into the log, then patting and
molding, or simply by patting or molding
with your hands.
Fill a stock pot (at least 6 quarts) with
water and bring to a rolling boil. Turn
down to a simmer and add the tightly
packed potato log. Simmer for 1 hour.
Remove and let cool in refrigerator
overnight.
Once cooled, and prior to serving, slice
into desired thickness, typically between
1/4” to 1/2" rounds. Place butter into a
skillet and fry each round until golden
brown. Lightly salt and serve as desired.
