Style Magazine-March 2020
I’ve been bread’s biggest fan for as long as I can remember. In high school, I’d walk to the now-shuttered Hilda’s Bakery in Downtown Auburn (where The Baker and The Cakemaker now resides; see page 44 to read more about them!) for two crispy-crusted, fluffy-centered slabs of Dutch crunch and call it “lunch”; other days, it was Bagel Junction for a round ring of doughy goodness, toasted with schmear; and sometimes I would demolish a baseball bat-sized baguette with creamy dill dressing from La Bou. It’s a good thing I have a fast metabolism, and it’s also a good thing gluten and I get along, because my passion for (well-made) pastries has only grown stronger. My current culinary weakness is croissants—specifically almond ones—and I recently went on a croissant crawl to find my favorite. After myriad mornings doing “research,” I can proudly proclaim that this month’s cover shot rises above the rest. Do yourself a favor and make the journey to Julian’s Pâtisserie & Café to try it for yourself. Curvaceous, with a golden-brown caramelized crust, toasty almonds, and a showering of powdered sugar, each buttery bite is filled with a criss-cross of flaky folds and is seriously satisfying. Curious what other local bakeries you knead to know about? Turn to our feature, “Breaking Bread,” on page 43 for 10 of our favorites—both established and emerging—along with their baker’s top tip and tool, one must-order item, and some pretty, and pretty mouthwatering, pictures. If you’re not already craving a transcendent treat, you will be after perusing the pages that follow. As always, there’s plenty of non-food content, too—many with a focus on conscious consumerism—including 10 thrift shops that give back to our community in big ways (“The 10 Spot” page 20), small-space living essentials that are fashionable and functional (“Less is More” page 62), and 16 eco-friendly finds (“Green Things” page 85). As we “march” into spring and welcome longer, lighter days, I suggest you sit back, relax, and enjoy this month’s issue—and a baked good—unhurried without any worries.

4 perfect (and perfectly simple) potluck recipes that’ll<br />
have guests going back for more and The Hot List on<br />
page 99 for a roundup of the meatiest, sauciest, and most<br />
wonderful wings. In Sip on This (page 107), we share three<br />
locally distilled whiskeys that are best sipped slowly<br />
and alongside good company, and in Dining Out (page<br />
96), Lorn Randall takes us to Roseville’s newest hotspot,<br />
Eureka!, where he writes about a charcuterie-style burger<br />
with goat cheese, fig marmalade, and bacon that calls for<br />
a big appetite…and an even bigger stack of napkins.<br />
As always, there’s plenty of non-food content, too—many with a focus on conscious<br />
consumerism—including 10 thrift shops that give back to our community in big ways (“The<br />
10 Spot” page 20), small-space living essentials that are fashionable and functional (“Less is<br />

GET TO KNOW<br />
Josh Varozza<br />
Oak Ridge High School graduate Josh<br />
Varozza is a big guy, with a big beard and<br />
personality, and an even bigger heart.<br />
Most of us first noticed the bail bondsman<br />
and El Dorado County native in 2016 when<br />
his series of “dudeoir” photos (taken for<br />
a calendar to help wounded warriors by<br />
his now-wife Tami Bears) went viral. You<br />
remember those, right? Right.<br />
Well, Varozza is about to get a little,<br />
um, bigger—notoriety-wise, anyway: He’s<br />
hosting a new, original TV series called<br />
Beauty Redefined, premiering this spring on<br />
the Discovery Channel and produced by a<br />
company called OnlyGood TV. The “Only<br />
Good” refers to their focus on “uplifting,<br />
inspiring, and heartwarming” programming<br />
around social issues. From the sounds of<br />
it, Varozza’s show fits that description like<br />
a pair of well-worn overalls. “They thought<br />
what we did with ‘dudeoir’ was pretty cool<br />
and really highlighted body positivity and<br />
people doing things differently,” he says.<br />
“I hope people will watch this show, fall<br />
in love with the characters I meet, and<br />
become more inclusive.”<br />
In the series, Josh meets other<br />
uniquely beautiful people and finds out<br />
what makes them tick. Episodes so far<br />
include a film company in New York that<br />
gives “non-neurotypical” young adults<br />
a chance to work in the movie industry;<br />
“Santa Larry,” the first Santa of color to be<br />
hired by the Mall of America; and another<br />
where Varozza gets into the ring with a<br />
lady sumo wrestler (“she abused me,” he<br />
jokingly notes).<br />
Varozza admits it’s hard balancing<br />
his full-time career as a bail bondsman<br />
and this new life as a television show<br />
host. “There are hard days, and<br />
there are really hard days,” he<br />
says. But then, he adds, “There<br />
are really rewarding days. It’s all<br />
about learning<br />
to juggle the<br />
things you<br />
want.”<br />
—Tom Mailey<br />
Q&A<br />
What advice would you give to<br />
your younger self?<br />
Stop trying to be cool. It’s okay to<br />
not always be the coolest person in the room.<br />
What comes to you naturally?<br />
Rapport. I enjoy talking to people and getting to<br />
know their backgrounds. People are fascinating,<br />
and it’s pretty fantastic to meet new people and<br />
see what motivates and rives them. Everyone—<br />
from hobos and entrepreneurs to executives—<br />
has something you can learn from.<br />
What’s your biggest pet peeve?<br />
Nail clipping in public.<br />
Are you high or low maintenance?<br />
According to my wife, I constantly need my<br />
feathers stroked, so I suppose I’m moderate to<br />
high maintenance.<br />

What are you most proud of?<br />
Me. I was kicked out of school my freshmen<br />
year and attended high school at the local<br />
juvenile hall. I spent a few teenage years on<br />
house arrest. I had teachers and leaders tell<br />
me I wouldn’t amount to squat. Life is weird.<br />
We all find motivation in strange places. I<br />
was motivated by naysayers. I hope that my<br />
mediocre success can show some wayward<br />
kids that there’s more to life if you want to<br />
live for it.<br />
Favorite humanitarian cause?<br />
I’ve always had a passion for helping veterans<br />

Q: WHAT ARE SOME TIPS<br />
FOR PEOPLE JUST LEARNING<br />
HOW TO COOK?<br />
A: Start simple, using flavors<br />
you love and ingredients<br />
you’re familiar with. Also,<br />
use cookbooks and before<br />
starting a recipe, read it twice,<br />
pull out all ingredients, and<br />
measure and slice everything.<br />
After all, cooking is 90%<br />
preparation and 10% execution.<br />
Next, never replace vegetable<br />
oil with olive oil or vice<br />
versa; always purchase fresh,<br />
quality ingredients; don’t use<br />
outdated spices; rest meat after<br />
cooking and slice it against<br />
the grain; and use appropriate<br />
measuring spoons or cups<br />
and verify tablespoons versus<br />
teaspoons, as too much salt<br />
can ruin a dish. Too much<br />
butter, however? Never.<br />

Q: WHAT ARE SOME<br />
EXAMPLES OF FUNCTIONAL<br />
FOODS?<br />
A: One of the most overlooked<br />
and best functional foods<br />
is seaweed or kelp from<br />
the ocean. It’s known as the<br />
medicine of the people in<br />
developing countries, as it’s<br />
high in iodine, minerals, and<br />
fiber. There’s nothing better for<br />
weight loss, metabolism, and<br />
constipation than seaweed and<br />
kelp. You can buy it in bulk as<br />
a powder or in capsules, and a<br />
teaspoon a day does wonders.<br />

FBI Teen<br />
Academy<br />
Shaping Citizens<br />
of Tomorrow<br />
by TARA MENDANHA // photos by DANTE FONTANA<br />
Do you know a teen who’s watched every episode of CSI<br />
(and all its variations), NCIS, or Forensic Files? Are you a<br />
high schooler who’s curious about what it takes to keep<br />
our community and country safe? If you answered “yes” to<br />
either question, read on to find out more about the FBI Teen Academy.<br />
This one-day event on April 3 is part of the FBI’s Community<br />
Outreach Program that supports the Bureau’s mission by working to<br />
address various societal problems including crime, drugs, terrorism, and<br />
violence. The program links community service with law enforcement at<br />
a grassroots level around the country with the aim to build public trust<br />
and confidence in the FBI.<br />
One of the ways they do this is by engaging with young, budding<br />
minds. The FBI Teen Academy “educates and encourages young people<br />
to think critically about their choices and how their actions influence<br />
others and the world around them,” says Public Affairs Specialist for the<br />
FBI Sacramento Field Office, Gina Swankie. They do this by offering high<br />
schoolers a look inside the FBI and have so far seen over 400 graduates<br />
from their Sacramento program. The twice yearly, full-day event caters to<br />
over 40 students per class. Designed for high school juniors, it comes at<br />
a time in a teen’s life when they’re deciding who they are and what they’d<br />
like to do with their life. “We want to provide them with information<br />
24 stylemg.com | MARCH <strong>2020</strong> | /stylemg /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags
that can help them make wise life choices,<br />
aid reporting of criminal activity to keep their<br />
neighborhoods safer, and mentor their peers,” says<br />
Swankie.<br />
Past classes have included sessions about active<br />
shooter situations, cyber investigations, terrorism,<br />
and FBI’s hiring process. They’ve also had handson<br />
sessions with Special Agent Bomb Techs,<br />
Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), and Evidence<br />
Response Teams. If that wasn’t cool enough,<br />
students also get meet-and-greet opportunities<br />
with their instructors who happen to be FBI personnel ranging from special agents to<br />
intelligence analysts.<br />
Asked about the program’s impact on students and Swankie recalls one graduate who<br />
became aware of some suspicious texts, and, putting into practice what she’d learned at<br />
the program, preserved the communication and contacted the FBI, which resulted in three<br />
people being arrested and convicted for crimes against children. Graduates have pursued<br />
diverse educational programs and professional careers and some have even applied to the<br />
FBI. All students receive a certificate from the special agent in charge of the Sacramento<br />
office and are encouraged to reach out when they have questions or concerns. “Each<br />
student plays a crucial role in the mission of the FBI [and] graduates of the program become<br />
ambassadors for the FBI,” says Swankie.<br />
The Spring <strong>2020</strong> session will be held at the Sacramento Field Office Headquarters<br />
in Roseville. High schoolers in public, private, charter, or home schools can apply. All<br />
application packages must be mailed or dropped off at their headquarters by 4 p.m. on<br />
<strong>March</strong> 6. The program is free and interested students must download the application<br />
from the FBI Sacramento Field Office’s Community Outreach web page and complete the<br />
forms and an essay. Ideal candidates are those interested in learning about the FBI and<br />
eager to share what they’ve learned with family, friends, and communities. “The teens are<br />
a force multiplier for this organization,” says Swankie, “and we greatly value the role they<br />
play in achieving the FBI’s mission of protecting the American people and upholding the<br />
Constitution of the United States.”<br />

and a feisty princess who<br />
resists her rescue. Throw<br />
in a short-tempered bad guy,<br />

misfits, and you've got the kind<br />
of mess that calls for a real hero<br />

Spotlight on<br />
Sandy Hilton<br />
by HEATHER L. NELSON<br />
| arts & entertainment |<br />
Sandy Hilton’s<br />
passion for pottery<br />
was inspired after<br />
watching a National<br />
Geographic film in grade<br />
school about an artist<br />
making pottery on a<br />
wheel. Today, the clay<br />
artist is vice president<br />
of the Folsom Arts<br />
Association and a member<br />
of the El Dorado Hills<br />
Arts Association, and has<br />
shown her work at the<br />
Gallery at 48 Natoma,<br />
Harris Center’s Bank of<br />
America Gallery, and the<br />
Betsy Lueke Creative<br />
Arts Center in Burbank.<br />
Creating functional,<br />
colorful bowls, mugs, and<br />
other works of art, Hilton<br />
also shares her expertise<br />
by teaching pottery<br />
through the Folsom<br />
Parks and Recreation<br />
Department. “If creating<br />
art makes you happy, stick<br />
with it,” says Hilton. “The<br />
[artistic] process in itself is<br />
healthy, and the end result<br />
is not as important as the<br />
enjoyment of exercising<br />
your creative mind.”<br />
HLN: WHAT ARE<br />
COMMON THEMES<br />
WITH YOUR WORK?<br />
SH: Nature is the primary<br />
influencer of my work,<br />
while animals and<br />
landscape impressions<br />
are the main themes.<br />
My pieces are primarily<br />
functional, and people<br />
who collect my work like<br />

| arts & entertainment |<br />
its practicality and colors that evoke the<br />
natural world.<br />
HLN: ARE THERE CHALLENGES TO<br />
WORKING WITH CLAY?<br />
SH: I’m intrigued with the process of<br />
forming wet clay and then letting heat and<br />
glass perform the final results. There in lay<br />
the challenges—a lot happens inside the kiln<br />
that you can’t control. Every time I open the<br />
kiln, it’s exciting to see if the kiln gods were<br />
favorable to me.<br />
HLN: HOW HAVE YOU EVOLVED AS<br />
AN ARTIST?<br />
SH: I took a ceramics class in high school<br />
and went on to pursue an art degree from<br />
Cal State Northridge, where I honed my<br />
technical skills and grew a deep appreciation<br />
for the arts. In 1978, I began teaching and<br />
have enjoyed sharing the joy of pottery<br />
making with hundreds of students since. I<br />
also had the good fortune to help design and<br />
develop an art center and gallery in Burbank<br />
and eventually brought those skills to<br />
Folsom, helping to cultivate their art center<br />
and the Gallery at 48 Natoma. After working<br />
for Burbank, Glendale, and Folsom Parks and<br />
Recreation for a combined 34 years, I retired<br />
in 2013 and [finally] have time to make<br />
pottery and teach.<br />
HLN: WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST<br />
ABOUT TEACHING?<br />
SH: Sharing my love for pottery with<br />
students is equal to my love for creating<br />
art. I’m thrilled when they’re successful<br />
and take joy in their delight. Students<br />
are curious about techniques that aren’t<br />
necessarily in my wheelhouse, so I’m<br />
always challenged to expand my skills and<br />
creative outlook.<br />
HLN: IS THERE ANYTHING YOU<br />
WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY<br />
IN YOUR CAREER?<br />
SN: Life evolves and doesn’t always move<br />
in accordance with your plans. I would<br />
have loved to spend more time creating my<br />
own artwork instead of working full-time.<br />
However, the work led me in directions I<br />
never would have dreamed of, so overall<br />
can’t imagine changing anything. I now have<br />
the good fortune to concentrate on my art<br />
like I always dreamed of.<br />

The Cakemaker<br />
The Baker and The Cakemaker—aka, the<br />
husband-and-wife team of Nathan, “The Baker,”<br />
and Alice Shreve, “The Cakemaker”— trained<br />
at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America<br />
and brought their skills to the Sierra foothills<br />
to share with the residents of Auburn and its<br />
surrounding communities. Along with fresh<br />
pastries, croissants, scones, muffins, and so much<br />
more, they produce “handcrafted artisan breads<br />
using organic flours and top-quality seeds, grains,<br />
and nuts.”<br />

Northstar<br />
Home Baking<br />
Maybe the happiest person in any job,<br />
anywhere, is Metin Emek of Northstar Home<br />
Baking. The fact that his happiness is on full<br />
display through his cakes and pastries will<br />
make you very happy also. Emek quit his job<br />
as a software engineer (he was happy there,<br />
too) and started baking full-time several years<br />
ago after friends and family told him, “You<br />
should do this for a living; you’re very good at<br />
it!” According to Emek, “I like to make people<br />
smile...when they eat what I bake, they smile!”<br />
TOP BAKING TIP: Take your time and never<br />
take shortcuts; baking is best with patience.<br />

Julian's<br />
Pâtisserie<br />
and Café<br />
It’s always a great story when<br />
a hometown son or daughter<br />
leaves to learn and excel at<br />
their chosen profession and<br />
then returns home to start<br />
a business. Such is the case<br />
for Julian Perrigo-Jimenez<br />
of Julian’s Pâtisserie and<br />
Café. After perfecting his<br />
skills abroad and in the glitz<br />
and glamour of Las Vegas,<br />
Jimenez moved his family<br />
back home to Folsom to open<br />
their pâtisserie. Featuring<br />
sweet and savory crepes,<br />
breakfast pastries, custom<br />
cakes, croissants, housemade<br />
chocolates, and more,<br />
the Folsom community have<br />
occasion to celebrate in the<br />
return of a prodigal son.<br />
TOP BAKING TIP: Don’t be<br />
afraid to bake things to a<br />
dark golden brown. It’s that<br />
caramelization in the baking<br />
process that gives things<br />
their flavor. When baked<br />
goods are too pale, they lack<br />
in flavor.<br />
MUST-ORDER ITEM:<br />

others to enjoy as well.<br />

Frank Vilt's Cakes<br />
In a not-so-unfamiliar story, Frank Vilt’s Cakes started<br />
with Vilt baking out of his home while working at<br />
Raley’s full-time. “I worked seven days a week and<br />
upwards around 80 [hours] for almost five years,” says<br />
Vilt. “I used to meet my customers at coffee shops and<br />
gas stations to deliver their orders. I hit my 20-year<br />
mark with Raley’s and decided to retire and open up<br />
my bakery full-time. [This year marks four years] at my<br />
current location, and I look forward to expanding my<br />
business in the next couple of years.”<br />
TOP BAKING TIP: Prepare everything for your recipe<br />
the day before or sometimes up to a week before;<br />
it’ll help save time and ensure you have everything<br />
needed for the recipe. Also, measure out your dry<br />
ingredients and wet ingredients the day before<br />
baking.<br />

BAD Bakers (the ultimate misnomer) owners<br />
Katelyn and Vincent Tiuseco burst onto the<br />
scene in 2014 with their first brick and mortar<br />
in Natomas, followed by a Roseville locale in<br />
2017. Known for “injecting” life (and a few<br />
other ingredients) into their donuts, breads,<br />

SF colleagues. "I was one of the lucky few kids who knew<br />
what I wanted to do to when I grew up and made it<br />
happen. I enjoy coming to work every day, and the days I<br />
don't are few and far between."<br />

RELATIONSHIP<br />
REPAIR<br />
8 Questions<br />
About Couples<br />
Counseling<br />
by KOURTNEY JASON<br />
Every couple can benefit from<br />
therapy. Nancy Ryan, MA,<br />
LMFT, founder and director<br />
of Relationship Therapy<br />
Center, says there’s a few<br />
stages throughout the course<br />
of a relationship when seeing a therapist<br />
will help strengthen your foundation.<br />
“Before a couple moves in together or gets<br />
married, it can be really helpful to meet<br />
with a therapist for a few sessions to discuss<br />
your relationship—including unspoken<br />
expectations, goals, and values—and<br />
learn good communication and conflict<br />
resolution,” she says. Other pivotal times<br />
when couples might benefit from therapy?<br />
“When a baby comes, when there are new<br />
blended families, or when a couple goes<br />
through empty nesting.”<br />
Talal H. Alsaleem, PsyD, LMFT, at Happily<br />
Ever After Counseling & Coaching, says<br />
“couples shouldn’t only seek counseling<br />
when they’re experiencing relationship<br />
dissatisfaction, but also before they<br />
escalate the level of commitment in the<br />
relationship,” he says. “This is why premarital<br />
counseling tends to increase<br />
the potential for having a successful<br />
relationship.”<br />
Have you thought about talking to your<br />
partner about counseling, but weren’t sure<br />
how to start the conversation? We turned<br />
to local marriage and family therapists who<br />
shared the answers to questions about<br />
counseling you might be too afraid to ask.<br />
How do I pick the right professional to help<br />
1 with our counseling needs?<br />
Dr. Alsaleem breaks this down into two<br />
steps. First, identify the type of counseling<br />
services that are best suited for your needs,<br />
such as individual counseling, marriage<br />
counseling, or family counseling. “Then,<br />
before you book your first session, have a<br />
consultation with the counselor you plan to<br />
work with. The consultation is usually free<br />
and designed to help you and the counselor<br />
determine whether or not you’re a good<br />
fit for each other. For example, do they<br />
have the experience, training, and license<br />
necessary to provide you with the services<br />
you need? Is their counseling style and<br />
personality compatible with yours?”<br />
How long will we have to be in therapy?<br />
2<br />
It varies, according to Joe Borders,<br />
MFT. “Most commonly, couples therapy is<br />
done on a weekly basis and continues until<br />
the couple decides to stop for one reason<br />
or another,” he says. “Depending on the<br />
situations that bring you to therapy, it can<br />
be a month, a year, or more. If therapy goes<br />
well, however, it often becomes something<br />
people choose to continue even after their<br />
original presenting problems get better.”<br />
Will the therapist take sides?<br />
3<br />
“Therapists are trained professionals<br />
and are required to maintain therapeutic<br />
neutrality,” Dr. Alsaleem says. “This stance<br />
requires objectivity, which allows the<br />
therapists to see both sides of the issue.<br />

52 stylemg.com | MARCH <strong>2020</strong> | /stylemg /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags
Keep in mind that neutrality doesn’t mean everyone is right. Because, at<br />
the end of the day, the therapist’s job is to identify the breakdown in the<br />
relationship and the factors that have contributed to it.”<br />
Can I go alone?<br />
4<br />
Dr. Alsaleem always recommends couples start the therapy<br />
process together rather than alone. “This will set the stage for working<br />
on the issues as partners rather than adversaries and will also avoid<br />
misperception about having the therapist align with the partner who<br />
started the sessions individually. Attempting to fix relationship issues<br />
solo has limited therapeutic benefits, because the therapist needs to<br />
hear both partners’ sides of the issue,” he says.<br />

Can we recover from infidelity?<br />
5<br />
Yes, it is possible. “People often get caught up in the idea that<br />
infidelity means the end of a relationship. That is not always true,”<br />
Borders says. “We have a cultural assumption that this is the ultimate<br />
deal-breaker nobody should tolerate. Affairs happen for many different<br />
reasons and can mean many different things to different people. Only<br />
you, as an individual and as a couple, can decide if you can heal the<br />
relationship after an affair, but it doesn’t have to mean the end. Not all<br />
affairs are pre-contemplated or the result of malice, and I have seen a<br />
good number of couples recover from them.”<br />
Can therapy help if we’re unsure about staying together?<br />
6<br />
Borders says yes. “The goal of therapy is not always to help<br />
a couple stay together. Sometimes it’s to end a relationship in an<br />
amicable way and sometimes people come in without solid goals<br />
and just want to get un-stuck. If you’re unsure about staying together,<br />
therapy can help you talk about all of the issues contributing to this<br />
indecision and come to a conclusion together,” he says.<br />
How do I suggest therapy to my partner?<br />
7<br />
Ryan likes to give a sports metaphor to remind couples about<br />
the benefits of therapy. “Even athletes at the top of their games have<br />
coaches, because we can’t always see objectively what is going on,” she<br />
says. “We need other people to do that for us. Even therapists need<br />
therapists! We don’t get relationship playbooks. Say to your partner<br />
something like, ‘I want us to always feel connected, close, and loving<br />
and learn new tools to handle any conflicts. I want us to keep growing<br />
and learn ways for us to be the best partners we can be. Would you<br />
consider attending a few sessions of therapy so we can stay on track?’<br />
Or if it’s a tougher situation, ‘I really want us to get better at being<br />
partners and I am afraid if we don’t get help, we will keep hurting each<br />
other. Let’s please go to counseling and learn better ways.’”<br />
As partners, what should we both know before starting therapy?<br />
8<br />
“Negative ways of thinking and behaviors take years to develop<br />
and will not disappear overnight,” Dr. Alsaleem says. “The flip side of<br />
this is that counseling shouldn’t be forever. It’s a process that should<br />
have a beginning, middle, and end. Once you achieve your goals and<br />
life is back in balance, stay on top of your mental well-being. It’s kind of<br />
like seeing the dentist—you shouldn’t just do it when you have a cavity<br />
or need a root canal. Prevention is the best cure.”<br />

Dr Mahal is a fellow at the prestigious LVI Institute for<br />
Neuromuscular dentistry which is an area that focuses on not<br />
only the teeth, but on the nerves, muscles and joints as they<br />
relate to the jaw. Neuromuscular dentistry concentrates on<br />
the achievement of an optimal bite and jaw alignment, which<br />
can help alleviate facial and neck pain, headaches, migraines<br />
and TMJ pain. Dr. Mahal utilizes all the latest technology<br />
like Electromyography, EMG, a technique for evaluating<br />
and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal<br />
muscles as well as the TENS unit, drug free alternative to<br />
managing pain. Myofunctional Therapy and appliances<br />
like AGGA, Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance and full<br />
face orthodontics is one of the latest procedures Dr. Mahal<br />
is current on to provide the best care for her patients. First<br />
phase is Agga, which activates growth centers in the body to<br />
stimulate bone remodeling in the entire mid-face region. 2nd<br />
phase is orthodontics, where teeth can be straightened without<br />
extracting any teeth or surgery. This not only improves facial<br />
profile but also improves airway and TMJ problems. Working<br />
with the Facial Beauty Institute, you can enhance your face to<br />
your full genetic potential.<br />

Less is More<br />
5 Small-Space Essentials<br />
by KERRIE L. KELLY<br />
Think your space isn’t big enough<br />
to add delightfully designed<br />
furnishings and accessories? Think<br />
again! With the growing popularity<br />
of the “less is more” concept, and small-space<br />
living in urban areas, less square footage is the<br />
new norm. Although your space may be petite,<br />
the style doesn’t have to be. Below are a few of<br />
our favorite ways to hack a small space, from<br />
two-in-one furnishings to décor that visually<br />
expands any space.<br />
Sana Brass Mirror, $169.99<br />
at Cost Plus World Market,<br />
worldmarket.com<br />
GET THE LOOK<br />
1<br />
MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL<br />
If your home or apartment offers less square<br />
footage than you’d like, there’s an easy shortcut<br />
you can take without knocking down any walls.<br />
Mirrors, like artwork, are visually interesting<br />
and add instant appeal to any room. But did you<br />
know they also make spaces feel more expansive?<br />
By placing a large framed mirror on a wall directly<br />
across from a big window or bright white wall,<br />
you can open up your space without making any<br />
physical changes to the structure.<br />
2<br />
IT TAKES TWO<br />
Small living rooms, bedrooms,<br />
and entryways rarely offer the balance<br />
homeowners want in a compact space.<br />
To help create a sense of symmetry, add<br />
pairs—two side tables on the side of a<br />
small sofa, two lamps on an entryway<br />
console, two nightstands on the side<br />
of a bed. Pro tip: Add tall lamps to create<br />
height and slim nightstands that double<br />
as bookshelves to make more use of the<br />
space you have; and then complement the<br />
pretty pairs of product with clean lines<br />
and neutral colors to make a subtle yet<br />
stylish statement.<br />
3<br />
GHOST STRATEGY<br />
Not only is acrylic and Lucite décor<br />
glamorous but it doubles as a secret weapon<br />
to combat cramped spaces, too. Perfect for<br />
a small office nook or a dining room scene,<br />
acrylic chairs match any type of décor,<br />
from tailored and traditional to modern<br />
and upscale. Tuck them into a corner in<br />
the living room atop a hide rug or next to<br />
your entryway as a drop zone for purses,<br />
coats, and keys. Other popular and stylish<br />
see-through furnishings include coffee<br />
tables that seemingly float in the middle of<br />
the living room; trays to hold your favorite<br />
trinkets in the entryway or bathroom; and<br />
lamps, frames, and décor that add glitz and<br />
glam without taking up valuable real estate.<br />
4<br />
HELLO, HEIGHT<br />
One of the chief concerns from<br />
homeowners living in small spaces is a<br />
total lack of storage. While editing is A-OK,<br />
some things you just can’t throw away, like<br />
family heirlooms and old books. The perfect<br />
solution? Tall bookshelves. Not only does<br />
stacked shelving add storage, but it also adds<br />

| /stylemg /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags
height. Cubbies, built-ins, or<br />
floating shelves all add styled<br />
stowing options while drawing the eye upward<br />
and away from your lack of square footage.<br />
5<br />
CONVERTIBLE COOL<br />
Apartment dwellers and small space<br />
inhabitants, rejoice! As design continues to align<br />
with new technology and innovative product<br />
design, so, too, can your compact corridors.<br />
Need extra seating but also a place to set your<br />
drink down for a cocktail party? Consider poufs<br />
or movable benches that double as tabletops.<br />
Love throwing dinner parties but don’t have<br />
the dining space to do so? Consider adding a<br />
table that extends and resizes to fit a party of<br />
five or a party of one. Two-in-one coffee tables<br />
and nesting tables are also great hacks for small<br />
spaces; push them inside of each other for more<br />
floor space when entertaining or add function<br />
by pulling them apart for family game night.<br />
Photos courtesy Kerrie Kelly Design Lab.<br />
While all of these furnishing and décor ideas<br />
are sneaky ways to add more livability to<br />
your smaller space, nothing beats editing<br />
and minimizing clutter. To instantly make<br />
your home feel less crowded, go through<br />
bookshelves, tabletops, drawers, and nightstands<br />
and discard garbage or broken items while<br />
rearranging décor to show off your newly<br />
cleaned spaces.<br />

Spot a Stroke<br />
and Act FAST<br />
Knowing the signs and symptoms of a<br />
stroke is the difference between life,<br />
death and disability. For Americans,<br />
strokes are not only the leading cause<br />
of disability but are also one of the top<br />
causes of death.<br />
Strokes can be caused by a blocked artery, impairing<br />
blood flow to the brain. They can also be caused<br />
by a rupture of a blood vessel, preventing oxygen<br />
and nutrients from getting to the brain. “Lack of<br />
blood circulation in the brain can lead to paralysis,<br />
vision or language problems, behavioral changes<br />
or memory loss,” says Scott Vasconcellos, MD of<br />
Marshall Cardiology.<br />
Strokes can come without warning. It’s important to<br />
know the symptoms for yourself and for others. Call<br />
911 immediately you recognize the following:<br />
• Dizziness or problems with balance<br />
• Numbness in the arms, legs or face<br />
• Confusion or difficulty speaking<br />
• Loss of vision or double vision<br />
• Severe headache<br />
Seconds matter when it comes to stroke treatment.<br />
Depending on the type of stroke, healthcare<br />
professionals may administer clot-busting or<br />
hemorrhaging-reduction medication to reverse the<br />
stroke. Emergency surgery may also be necessary to<br />
stop bleeding into the brain. “Every minute counts,”<br />
explains Dr. Vasconcellos. “There is a short window<br />
of three hours from the first symptoms to combat<br />
permanent effects.”<br />
Anyone can have a stroke; you may not know you’re<br />
at risk until you experience symptoms. “There are<br />
risk factors, such as diabetes, high blood pressure,<br />
smoking, high cholesterol, irregular heartbeat,<br />
family history and a narrowing of the arteries,” says<br />
Dr. Vasconcellos. “If you have one or more of these<br />
conditions, speak to your doctor about a stroke<br />
screening test.”<br />
Strokes can be prevented through lifestyle choices:<br />
exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy diet,<br />
managing your weight and not smoking. Control<br />
chronic conditions with medication and by seeing<br />
your doctor regularly.<br />
Marshall Medical Center is a Stroke Center, certified<br />
by The Joint Commission. A dedicated stroke team,<br />
including a physician, registered nurse, phlebotomist,<br />
pharmacist and CT technician stands at the ready<br />
to respond to all potential stroke patients. Following<br />
protocols and national standards, Marshall’s Stroke<br />
Team upholds a high standard of care.<br />

Is this normal?<br />
Strange and Unsual Symtoms<br />
Your body speaks to you through signs<br />
and feelings, giving you warnings that<br />
something may not be right. If you’re<br />
experiencing unusual symptoms, visit<br />
your doctor to identify the underlying<br />
cause and determine a plan for treatment.<br />
Abdominal pain, bloating or nausea<br />
after eating greasy food – let your<br />
doctor know if you experience belly<br />
pain when you eat fatty foods as you<br />
may have a gallbladder condition.<br />
“Your gallbladder aids in the digestion<br />
of fats,” says Marshall General Surgeon<br />
Ryan Lussenden, MD. “Pain may<br />
be caused by an inflammation or by<br />
gallstones.” Removal of the gallbladder<br />
can be done with outpatient surgery<br />
laparoscopically. Recovery time is<br />
minimal and patients can resume<br />
normal activities in a few days.<br />
Recurring heartburn – Burning pain in your chest after eating, one that isn’t easily treatable<br />
by over-the-counter medications, may be caused by diet, meal size and frequency of eating.<br />
Heartburn can be more than your stomach rebelling; it may require a CT scan or upper<br />
endoscopy to get to the root of the problem.<br />
Lumps on your abdomen or groin area – This could indicate a hernia, when an organ pushes<br />
through a weak opening in muscle or tissue. Hernias can cause complications, may grow larger and<br />
won’t go away without medical intervention. Your doctor can detect a hernia with a manual exam.<br />
Surgery is the only way to treat a hernia.<br />
Pain or burning during urination for men - Painful, frequent or dribbling urine may be a sign of<br />
prostate problems. To diagnose, your doctor will do a rectal exam and take cultures. An ultrasound<br />
may also be used to determine the severity, including the possibility of prostate cancer.<br />
Heavy menstrual bleeding – Prolonged or heavy periods that hamper usual activities may be<br />
caused by a number of conditions including hormone imbalance, dysfunction of the ovaries,<br />
uterine fibroids, polyps, cancer or other medical conditions. “Heavy periods can be an<br />
indication of a number of problems,” says Kate Sullivan, FNP, of Marshall OB/BYN. “There are<br />
various treatment options your gynecologist can recommend. Abnormally heavy bleeding is not<br />
only inconvenient and embarrassing. It can also be painful and a symptom of something more<br />
serious. Don’t delay in seeing your doctor.”<br />
You don’t have to live with these symptoms, talk to your doctor about treatment options.<br />
Some may be easily managed with medication, but some may require surgery. Marshall<br />
Medical Center uses a state-of-the-art da Vinci robot for minimally invasive surgeries, so you’ll<br />
experience less pain and recover faster.<br />

ZZZs<br />
Sleep. We all want more of<br />
it. Some need help getting<br />
it. Trying to cram as much<br />
as possible into a busy<br />
schedule sometimes requires<br />
sacrificing sleep. “We all<br />
know how it feels to run<br />
on too little sleep. By not making it a priority, you<br />
can make yourself more susceptible to problems<br />
such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart<br />
attack, heart failure and stroke,” says Anuradha<br />
Shanmugham, MD, MPH, of Marshall Family<br />
Medicine. “Not to mention, there are impacts<br />
to your appearance, lack of alertness, impaired<br />
memory, relationship stress and a greater<br />
likelihood of car accidents.”<br />

Want more sleep? Here are some tips on getting increased<br />
quantity and quality of sleep.<br />
1. Set a bedtime and keep it.<br />
Instead of waiting until your to do list is done (because it<br />
never really is anyway) or until you feel too sleepy to keep<br />
your eyes open, set a reasonable time to hit the sheets. Most<br />
adults need between seven and nine hours each night so<br />
make sure your bedtime allows for at least that before your<br />
morning routine begins. Don’t forget that we rarely sleep<br />
through the night without waking up momentarily several<br />
times, so build in a little extra time to account for that.<br />
2. Turn off your devices.<br />
It seems everything has a back lit screen these days, even<br />
our watches. These electronic devices emit a special kind<br />
of blue light that drastically affects our quality of sleep.<br />
Blue light exposure in the evening tricks your body<br />
into thinking its daytime and inhibits the production of<br />
melatonin, which tells your body it’s tired and needs to go<br />
to sleep. Turn off your devices, including the television,<br />
about an hour before bed, if not longer. Use an alarm clock<br />
with red numbers on your nightstand instead of your<br />
phone to wake you in the morning and to check the time<br />
during the night if you wake up.<br />
3. Create a pre-bed routine.<br />
Sleep hygiene is the practice of creating a few habits before<br />
bed that over time trigger your brain to know that it’s time<br />
to starting shutting down. Read a chapter of a good book,<br />
enjoy a bubble bath or hot shower, take your dog for a short<br />
walk. Whatever your routine may be, do the same thing<br />
each night before you go to bed.<br />
4. Avoid alcohol. And naps.<br />
Savoring a glass of wine or two at the end of a long<br />
day may seem to help you relax and get to sleep faster.<br />
However, studies show that alcohol actually disrupts the<br />
phases of sleep, making it less restful than you’d expect.<br />
Similarly, taking an afternoon nap will trick your body<br />
into thinking it’s gotten the right kind of sleep when, in<br />
fact, daytime sleep doesn’t allow for the deep or REM sleep<br />
we need so badly. Naps also decrease the “sleep debt” that<br />
is necessary for us to fall asleep more easily at night.<br />
5. Get out of bed.<br />
If you’ve turned off the lights and sunk into your comfy<br />
bed, but sleep doesn’t come within ten minutes, get up and<br />
do something else, even if it’s just sitting in a chair with<br />
your thoughts. Lying in bed awake for long periods of time<br />
will train your brain that bed is a place to be awake, which<br />
is the opposite of your intended goal.<br />
6. Have a snack.<br />
Instead of reaching for that pint of ice cream in the back of<br />
the freezer, there are some snacks you can have that will<br />
actually help your quality of sleep.<br />
• Complex carbs such as popcorn, oatmeal, or whole<br />
wheat crackers with nut butter increase serotonin<br />
levels that aid sleep.<br />
• A handful of nuts contain melatonin to regulate your<br />
sleep cycle.<br />
• Cottage cheese with raspberries will boost serotonin.<br />
• Caffeine-free tea containing calming ingredients like<br />
chamomile, ginger or peppermint can add to your<br />
relaxing bedtime ritual.<br />
• Warm milk is a cliché for a reason.<br />
• Tart fruit like whole tart cherries, pineapple and<br />
oranges contain a lot of melatonin. And one study<br />
shows that eating two kiwis before bed can lead to an<br />
hour of extra sleep over the course of a month.<br />
7. Exercise.<br />
In addition to helping out your cardiovascular health,<br />
getting regular exercise increases endorphins in your<br />
body, leading to better sleep. “Try squeezing short bouts of<br />
activity into your day if you don’t feel you have time to hit<br />
the gym. Just five or ten minutes here and there can really<br />
add up,” says Stanley Henjum, MD, of Marshall Cardiology.<br />
Get creative about your bedtime routine; take or leave<br />
any of the above suggestions. Just make sure that you’re<br />
sticking to a consistent routine with consistent timing.<br />
Your body and your mind will thank you for it.<br />

The Power<br />
of Generosity<br />
Wildfires. Power outages. A<br />
tragedy that takes a life.<br />
When a personal or<br />
widespread disaster hits the<br />
media, many people are<br />
drawn to give. Either through<br />
volunteering or donating<br />
supplies or money, people are<br />
moved to express their altruistic desire to help in some form.<br />
The generosity tends to be great in the beginning but then<br />
slowly dwindles. This is expected. “Donors can reevaluate<br />
how they choose to respond,” says Jamie Johnson,<br />
Executive Director of the Marshall Foundation for Community<br />
Health. “Give when you feel the urge, but also consider<br />
repeating your gift six months, a year or years after the<br />
disaster,” he said. With true disasters, the effects and need<br />
for help will last for a long while.<br />
Give yourself time to identify the best nonprofit organizations<br />
to support. “Giving is so personal,” says Jamie, “Consider<br />
whether you want to give to an established entity such as<br />
the Red Cross, or to locally based nonprofits with good<br />
reputations. Some may even want to give directly to those<br />
affected via a Go Fund Me page.”<br />
Some tips for giving:<br />
1. Consider donating money rather than<br />
items. Relief organizations can make best<br />
use of funds rather than supplies that<br />
need to be sorted, stored or may expire.<br />
2. Give to reputable aid groups and nonprofits<br />
with ties to the local community.<br />
3. Think of immediate and long-term needs;<br />
you may want to give some now and<br />
more later.<br />
Aside from episodic giving, there are also<br />
ways to plan your gifts. Some examples<br />
include:<br />
Donor Advised Fund – Start a fund for a<br />
cause near and dear to your heart. You can<br />
start the fund and contribute annually, or invite<br />
others to add to it.<br />
Estate Plan Gifts – a provision in your will or<br />
living trust naming an entity as a beneficiary or<br />
a portion of your assets.<br />
Life Income Gifts – allows you to give assets<br />
to an entity who will manage the investment<br />
and pays you (or others) a dividend for a<br />
certain term. There are several types of life<br />
income gifts you can consider.<br />
Giving requires knowledge and heart. Generosity empowers<br />
others to act on your behalf.<br />
The Marshall Foundation for Community health was<br />
established in 1974 to support Marshall Hospital and health<br />
initiatives in El Dorado County. A board of 23 trustees<br />
oversees assets of $4.5 million. The foundation provided<br />
health care grants of $73,000 last year to efforts including<br />
battling opioid addiction, drug abuse prevention education<br />
in schools, dementia and Alzheimer’s education, and support<br />
for the homeless and disabled. For more information about<br />

FEATURE<br />
of Safe Sleep<br />
It can be difficult for parents—new<br />
parents especially—to navigate the<br />
advice from friends, “Dr. Google” and<br />
gut instinct when it comes to what’s<br />
best for your child’s health and safety.<br />
Here are some easy-to-remember<br />
tips for making sure your baby sleeps<br />
safely through the night from Marshall<br />
Medical Center’s newest pediatrician,<br />
Suzanne Stewart, MD.<br />
ALONE<br />
BACK<br />
CRIB<br />
Your baby should sleep alone<br />
for every sleep (night time and<br />
naps). While studies show<br />
that sharing a room with your<br />
baby can decrease the risks of<br />
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome<br />
(SIDS) by half,<br />
sharing a bed<br />
can increase<br />
those risks.<br />
For the past 27 years, the<br />
American Academy of<br />
Pediatrics has recommended<br />
babies sleep on their backs<br />
instead of on their stomachs or<br />
sides. This has been<br />
shown to reduce the<br />
risk of sleep-related<br />
deaths including<br />
SIDS.<br />
Babies should sleep in their<br />
own crib or bassinet. The crib<br />
should have a firm mattress<br />
with a fitted sheet to prevent<br />
suffocation and there should<br />
be nothing else in the crib<br />
with your baby. This includes<br />
blankets, toys and pillows.<br />
If the temperature is too cool<br />
for your baby,<br />
swaddling them<br />
during sleep is<br />
safer than having<br />
loose blankets in<br />
the crib.<br />

Sleep training<br />
your baby<br />
Sleep training is a hotly debated topic in the<br />
parenting world. It’s the process of teaching your<br />
baby how to sleep independently, ideally between<br />
four and six months of age. Sleep training is all<br />
about creating positive sleep associations for your<br />
baby. “It’s very difficult for new parents if their baby<br />
doesn’t sleep. I recommend sleep training for your<br />
own peace of mind and for your baby’s healthy sleep<br />
patterns,” says Suzanne Stewart, MD, of Marshall Pediatrics.<br />
But with so many different methods, how do you know which is right for<br />
your family? Only you can make that decision, but here are a few different<br />
approaches you can try.<br />
Let’s start with the most controversial method – Cry-It-Out (CIO), also known as...<br />
Extinction<br />
This involves letting your baby cry at bedtime or the middle of the night so they<br />
learn to soothe themselves back to sleep. Supporters of CIO say it’s a practical<br />
way for infants to figure out how to fall asleep without the assistance of their<br />
parents and doesn’t take too many nights for parents to see results. Critics, on<br />
the other hand, say that letting your baby cry can cause psychological damage<br />
and negatively affect the baby’s sense of security during sleep.<br />
Chair Method<br />
For this technique, sit in a chair near the crib until your baby falls asleep. This<br />
reassures the baby that you are nearby, while not helping them fall asleep or<br />
calm down. Gradually move the chair farther and farther away until you’re<br />
outside of the room.<br />
Ferber Method<br />
This is often mistaken for the cry-it-out method, but has some differences, as<br />
explained by its creator, Richard Ferber, MD. It involves putting your drowsy,<br />
but awake, baby in the crib. If the baby cries, wait a few minutes before<br />
attending to them. First wait three minutes, then five, then ten and so on. This<br />
continues over the course of a week, with longer intervals each day.<br />
Walk-and-Sleep Technique<br />
Try feeding and swaddling your baby, turning on white noise, and rocking<br />
your baby to sleep. Slide them into the crib and wake them gently. Since they<br />
are drowsy, they’ll fall back to sleep quickly, learning to put themselves back to<br />
sleep on their own.<br />
As Dr. Stewart says any of these methods will help your child learn to self-soothe<br />
and sleep soundly, allowing you to do the same.<br />

Want to Train<br />
for a 5K?<br />
With the weather starting to warm up, it’s easier for us to get<br />
active outside. A great way to stay active is to train for a 5K<br />
run; it’s just a little more than three miles. However, the less active<br />
you’ve been lately, the more likely it is you’ll get injured if you try to<br />
do too much too soon. Here are some tips to get started:<br />
• When you start, don’t worry about how fast you are running.<br />
Instead, focus on how long you run.<br />
• Purchase a good pair of running shoes. Go to a specialty running<br />
store and they can help you choose a pair designed for your arch<br />
and stride. While you’re there, pick up some seam-free socks that<br />
manage moisture to avoid blisters.<br />
• Get into a pre-run routine. We’ve all heard that it’s important<br />
to stretch before a run, but how? Physical therapist Allison<br />
Orofino, Director of Rehabilitation Services at Marshall<br />
recommends dynamic stretching to get the blood flowing.<br />
These include walking lunges, butt kicks and high knees. Be<br />
sure to walk briskly for about five minutes before you speed<br />
up to a comfortable jog or run pace.<br />
• Your first runs should be about 20 to 30 minutes, three times<br />
a week. Download a training app such as Couch to 5K, which<br />
will help you build up to running longer with smaller stretches of<br />
walking in between.<br />
• It is important to complete these first runs at a comfortable pace.<br />
Don’t push yourself too hard in the beginning, but focus on<br />
longevity.<br />
• Don’t be afraid to walk. Listen to your body and if you need to<br />
take a break, slow down to a brisk walk. Be honest with yourself<br />
though. Do you need a break or are you just bored with the<br />
monotony we sometimes feel with a longer stretch of running?<br />
• Cool down. When you’ve completed your running goal for the<br />
day, don’t stop all at once. Much like you did when you warmed<br />
up, walk for another five minutes to cool down gradually.<br />
• Stretch again. Now is the time for static stretching on the floor. Be<br />
sure to stretch each muscle group in your legs to avoid injury or<br />
tight muscles the following day.<br />
Page 1<br />
SPECIAL AD SECTION<br />
• On rest days, work your core. We tend to think that running or<br />
walking just works our leg muscles, but it’s actually a much more<br />
full body experience. On days you don’t train, do some simple<br />
core strengthening exercises like crunches or planks to help<br />
those stabilizing muscles keep up with the rest of your body.<br />

Exploring Holland and<br />
Germany Aboard the<br />
Crystal Bach<br />
By T. Carroll<br />
It seems like every<br />
time you talk to someone<br />
about vacations, river cruising<br />
comes up. Over the past decade,<br />
there’s been a surge in passengers<br />
as well as the number of companies<br />
operating river cruise lines—not just in Europe<br />
but around the world.<br />
Photo by Terry Carroll.<br />
Why has this style of “vacation” captured the imagination of<br />
so many? We were eager to find out and experience the world of<br />
luxury river cruising.<br />
MARCH <strong>2020</strong> | stylemg.com 77
Left to right: Terry & Wendy in Cochem,<br />
Germany; new friends Joan & Dave;<br />
Butler Igor; Crystal Bach; pastries in<br />
the Bach Bistro.<br />
Our nonstop flight to<br />
Amsterdam went<br />
without a hitch, and we<br />
arrived a bit tired but<br />
eager to see the city and<br />
get ready for our departure the following<br />
day. This was our first time in Amsterdam,<br />
and we made the most of it as we always<br />
do on short stays in new places: using the<br />
double-decker tour bus! I’ve heard people<br />
gripe about them, but when time is short,<br />
I find there’s nothing like it; it’s kind of the<br />
Cliff Notes of city exploration. Never been<br />
to Amsterdam? Put it on the list now! The<br />
city felt young and vibrant and was loaded<br />
with things to see and do, top-notch food,<br />
and warm, friendly people—most of whom<br />
travel on bikes.<br />
The following day we stepped on board<br />
the Crystal Bach, considered one of<br />
Crystal’s flagship river boats. We have<br />
river cruised before, but this was our first<br />
time aboard Crystal, so we were eager to<br />
experience this highly awarded cruise line.<br />
The accommodations themselves were<br />
extremely noteworthy, for their size, luxury<br />
appointments, and design. Crystal offers<br />
larger suites and therefore 40% fewer<br />
suites and passengers. What a difference<br />
this makes when it comes to comfort.<br />
From the moment we boarded, we knew<br />
this was going to be different. We arrived<br />
a bit early and were offered champagne<br />
and directed to the Palm Court as our<br />
cabin was being readied. Immediately, a<br />
very nice crewmember asked us what we<br />
would like to drink. We<br />
simply asked for water—<br />
sparkling for my wife, and<br />
still for me—and were<br />
never asked again. From<br />
that point forward, the<br />
crew knew. Of course, they<br />
would ask before pouring,<br />
but it was, “sparkling,<br />
ma’am?” then “still for you,<br />
sir?” The entire crew was<br />
exemplary. And take note that the crew to<br />
passenger ratio is 1 to 1.6, providing a level<br />
of service that sets them apart.<br />
What else does Crystal do that makes<br />
them stand out? Firstly, their cruises are<br />
all inclusive—from cocktails to excursions<br />
and tips for the crew—there isn’t another<br />
charge involved, period. Talk about a<br />
wonderful way to travel. Also impressive<br />
was the exquisite selection of wine and<br />
top-shelf spirits, which once again, was<br />
all-inclusive.<br />
When the time came to see our<br />
accommodations, we were shown the<br />
way and met by our “butler,” Igor, who<br />
would be with us for the next 10 days.<br />
Igor was delightful and ever helpful.<br />
Whatever we needed, he was there. He<br />
was also there to surprise us with a late<br />
afternoon snack a couple of times while<br />
we were getting our clothes pressed for<br />
dinner, and so much more.<br />
Being 6’ 7”, having enough room to move<br />
around is of paramount importance; not<br />
only to me, but for my wife too, who has<br />
to deal with me if I’m feeling like I am in<br />
a shoebox. This particular suite boasted<br />
a comfortable, king-sized bed; walk-in<br />
closet; bathroom with two sinks; and a<br />
shower that I couldn’t only walk in but<br />
stand straight up in, too! It was a room that<br />
rivaled the finest hotels.<br />
After the cruise officially began, we chose<br />
our daily excursions (all but just a couple<br />
are included in your fare, and the choices<br />
can be difficult!) and began our journey<br />
that took us mostly on the Mosel and<br />
Rhine Rivers. If you’ve never traveled this<br />
region, you’ll soon find it’s one of the most<br />
beautiful places to see—and is also known<br />
for its excellent wines.<br />

Day 1: Amsterdam<br />
Since we spent the previous day doing our own<br />
tour of the city, visiting the exquisite museum area,<br />
walking the canals, and dodging bikes (be careful:<br />
in Amsterdam, everyone is on<br />
a bike and they don’t stop for<br />
pedestrians!), we decided to<br />
take the Amsterdam Jewish<br />
Heritage Tour.<br />
Day 2: Cologne City Walk<br />
Watching the boat cruise into a larger city is always interesting.<br />
Cologne has it all: bridges, industry, homes, buildings, churches,<br />
etc., but the cathedral—which took over 600 years to build and is<br />
one of the most remarkable gothic structures in the world—was of<br />
particular interest. With over 20,000 visitors each day, it’s a mustsee<br />
when visiting Cologne.<br />
Day 3: Koblenz City Walk<br />
Koblenz is a beautiful city that’s situated where the Moselle and Rhine Rivers meet.<br />
Known for its wine and spring water, it’s one of those smaller cities where you just want<br />
to walk all day, enjoying the shops, cafés, and beauty.<br />
The River<br />
Cruise Guru<br />
Traveling is about many<br />
things, not the least of which<br />
is making friends and simply<br />
meeting interesting people. One<br />
that we met on this cruise was<br />
Ralph Grizzle, the owner/editor of<br />
two renowned websites that offer<br />
tremendous insight to all types<br />
of cruising around the globe.<br />
We had the great pleasure of<br />
spending quite a bit of time with<br />
Ralph and found him to be one of<br />
the most well-respected experts<br />
Ralph Grizzle<br />
Day 4: Bernkastel Walk and Wine Tour<br />
A quintessential medieval town on the Moselle, this may be one of the most charming<br />
towns in Germany. You’ll find yourself surrounded by hillside vineyards and stunning<br />
castles with a wonderful marketplace. The tour was fun and informative, but the people<br />
watching from the cafés was particularly fun.<br />
in the world of luxury cruising.<br />
His website rivercruiseadvisor.<br />
com is filled with information and<br />
photos about almost every river<br />
cruise line and cruise you may be<br />
interested in.<br />

Day 5: Trier<br />
From the Porta Nigra Gate,<br />
you’ll see the Roman bath<br />
ruins, an amphitheater,<br />
and a stone bridge. The<br />
Archaeological Museum<br />
is a must-see, and there<br />
are numerous Catholic<br />
Churches to view, too<br />
(the Trier Cathedral was a<br />
standout). We walked the<br />
marketplace, enjoyed a<br />
traditional German lunch<br />
in the square, and windowshopped<br />
to our heart’s<br />
content.<br />
Porta Nigra Gate<br />
However, his experience and<br />
knowledge doesn’t stop there.<br />
His website avidcruiser.com<br />
will open you up the world of<br />
luxury ocean cruising and the<br />
fascinating world of expedition<br />
cruising.<br />
Whatever kind of cruise you<br />
are considering, you will find<br />
Ralph and his websites to be an<br />
invaluable resource.<br />
MARCH <strong>2020</strong> | stylemg.com 79
Day 6: Luxembourg<br />
We docked in Trier overnight and decided that on<br />
our second day there we would do the day trip<br />
to Luxembourg City. Our first stop on our short<br />
trip, via Crystal Luxury Bus, was the American<br />
Military Cemetery. When we arrived we instantly<br />
recognized that we were on hallowed ground.<br />
Seeing the rows and rows of white crosses, where<br />
our men are buried, most from the Battle of the<br />
Bulge, brought up so many emotions and an<br />
overall sense of pride. However, we couldn’t help<br />
but see that one grave was set apart, although we<br />
could not see the name as the ground was too<br />
wet to walk upon. We asked the tour guide and I<br />
was taken aback when told it was General George<br />
S. Patton. We were then off to Luxembourg City<br />
where we toured and enjoyed lunch on the<br />
square. The old battlements were a sight to see<br />
and the views from the city to the valleys around<br />
it were spectacular.<br />
General George S. Patton's tombstone<br />
Day 7: Cochem<br />
This was our second time<br />
in Cochem, and it had<br />
to be one of the most<br />
picturesque places on<br />
the Rhine. We toured the<br />
city, dined, and visited<br />
the Reichsburg Castle—<br />
nestled above town on<br />
a hill and filled with lore<br />
and antiques, secret<br />
passageways, and more.<br />
Cochem Castle<br />
Beethoven's Memorial<br />
Beethoven's<br />
backyard<br />
Day 8: Bonn<br />
This may have been our favorite city in Germany. Bonn is a college town, quite<br />
modern, but with many historic buildings and Roman structures dating back to<br />
the first century B.C. It was also the capital of West Germany and then the reunited<br />
Germany until 1999. Our tour took us through the college area, shopping district,<br />
and to the highlight of our day: the childhood home of Beethoven.<br />
Nijmegen<br />
Day 9: Nijmegen, Netherlands<br />
I was fortunate enough to get the last spot on this<br />
day’s excursion to the WWII museum here, where we<br />
were able to sit through a lecture by a local man who<br />
was eight when the German army invaded the area.<br />
The stories were, as you can imagine, riveting, sad,<br />
and ultimately triumphant (the town was liberated<br />
by American British Troops in September 1944). What<br />
stood out was the reverence all the people we met in<br />
the Netherlands have for Americans. As our lecturer<br />
said to all of us of “allied” descent: “Thank you to your<br />
parents and grandparents—you saved our lives.”<br />

Despite the wonderful times had on land, at the end of<br />
every day, we found ourselves back on the Crystal Bach,<br />
which was—in and of itself—a pretty special place to<br />
return. How do you not look forward to returning to what<br />
I can only equate as a top tier floating hotel and one of<br />
the most comfortable rooms I have ever stayed in?<br />
Some of the highlights of our time on the Bach included<br />
the exquisite meals each and every day and nightly<br />
entertainment provided by the lovely Roz and James,<br />
our entertainment directors from New Zealand. On<br />
numerous evenings while traveling between ports we<br />
played team trivia contests, had special guest entertainers,<br />
dancing, lectures, and more. And if I didn’t mention our<br />
lounge staff, I would be remiss—what an on-the-ball and<br />
congenial group they were—just like the entire crew!<br />
One last note—our last night cruising back to Amsterdam<br />
there was a Sound of Music trivia contest followed by a<br />
singalong. May wife, Wendy is a Sound of Music NUT and<br />
just happened to be chosen (wink-wink) to be on stage<br />
as one of the singers—a night she will never forget. Nor<br />
will those in the audience thinking, “why is that pretty<br />
woman singing like Ethel Merman and not Julie Andrews?”<br />
Honestly, she was great, and does know every word!<br />
Of note was that this particular cruise was an annual<br />
“Presidents Cruise,” one where we were able to spend<br />
time and dine with Crystal President Tom Wolber, his<br />
lovely wife Sharon, and Susan Robison, the director of<br />
global public relations. They say you can judge a company<br />
by the people who run it. Well, it was easy to understand<br />
why the crew was as exemplary as they were. But was<br />
it just this "special" cruise? We asked at least 10 other<br />
travelers that question and the resounding response from<br />
them, most having traveled with Crystal multiple times,<br />
some multiple times each year, was: Crystal crewmembers<br />
are by far the best in the cruise world.<br />
MARCH <strong>2020</strong> | stylemg.com 81
To conclude, we just spent a week and<br />
a half on one of the most luxurious<br />
river ships in the world and had a<br />
spectacular time. We also made<br />
new friends like Joan and Dave from<br />
Virginia., who we can’t wait to see<br />
soon and possibly travel with again.<br />
Any thought I had that there would be<br />
any pretentiousness or stuffiness was<br />
quickly dashed. Having traveled all<br />
over the world I have come to realize<br />
that there is nothing like traveling with<br />
pure and simple elegance. We are now<br />
completely spoiled and in fact are<br />
planning our next Crystal Cruise: New<br />
York City to Quebec City via the coast<br />
of New England and Nova Scotia on the<br />
Crystal Serenity, an ocean-going vessel.<br />

VEAL NAMESAKE.”<br />
Iwas just reading the “About” page on the website for Eureka! in Roseville. Lofty<br />
goals and mission statement to be sure. But with 26 restaurants under their<br />
umbrella, I’m guessing it’s not just braggadocio. What Eureka! is not is a big-box,<br />
novella-sized-menu establishment with seating for the Smith and Jones family<br />
reunions. On the contrary, the restaurant is cozy, comfortable, and efficient. The<br />
menu follows suit featuring gastropub-style appetizers; healthy, protein-forward<br />
salads; distinctive burgers; and brewhouse-inspired mains, such as blackened<br />
fish tacos with mango salsa and fried chicken sliders with chili sauce and slaw.<br />
I almost always gravitate to the “starters” menu in a gastropub, and in this situation went<br />
with the osso buco riblets. According to my server, the pork shank riblets “are braised for<br />
hours in sherry and aromatics”—a process that allows the marrow to melt into the reduced<br />
braising liquid, resulting in tender, succulent pork reminiscent of its veal namesake. The<br />
“firecracker aioli” condiment provided a piquant counterpunch to the rich marrowbone.<br />
Next up, fish & chips with furikake. If you’re not familiar with this particular “F” word, get<br />
acquainted soon. I found furikake in Hawaii years ago when it was used as a coating to pan<br />
sear fish (it’s primary use is as a seasoning for rice) and have been a fan ever since. Eureka!<br />
takes the British standard of battered white fish and tops it with the Japanese seasoning to<br />
create something very umami. Crispy breading, sesame seeds, briney nori flakes, a touch of<br />
sweetness, and moist whitefish produced a memorable adaptation of classic pub fare.<br />
I happened to be doing research for an article about the best local burgers at the<br />
same time I visited Eureka!, so it was my good fortune to find some possibilities for the<br />
list. Most notably, the Fresno fig burger. The play on charcuterie in a bun wasn’t lost on<br />
me and an obvious inclusion to my list. It may sound odd at first, but if you’ve savored<br />
a slice of fromage, marmalade, and prosciutto on crostini…well, you see where I’m<br />
going. The burger came with melted goat cheese,<br />
Fresno Fig Burger fig marmalade, bacon, red onions, arugula, and<br />
spicy porter mustard—all recognizable players<br />
on the charcuterie playground and a welcome<br />
addition to any burger.<br />
One of the more appealing sidebars of the<br />
great American bourbon craze popping up in<br />
bars everywhere is using the spirit in foods,<br />
and one of the best (although not newest) is in<br />
desserts. Eureka! scores high marks here for<br />
its bourbon barrel cake with bourbon caramel<br />
and vanilla bean ice cream. I really wanted to<br />
be finished after just one bite, but like Michael<br />
Corleone said in Godfather Part III, “Just when I<br />
Fish & Chips with Furikake thought I was out, they pull me back in.”<br />

DID YOU KNOW?<br />
Vietnamese food is low in sugar and<br />
almost always gluten-free, as many<br />
of the dishes are made with rice<br />
noodles, rice paper, and rice flour<br />
instead of wheat.<br />
With the balance between fresh<br />
herbs and meats and a selective<br />
use of spices to reach a fine taste,<br />
it's considered one of the healthiest<br />
cuisines in the world.<br />
Many of the country's dishes include<br />
five fundamental taste senses:<br />
spicy, sour, bitter, salty, and sweet.<br />
French cuisine has had a major<br />
influence on their food—including<br />
coffee and bread—due to the French<br />
colonization of Vietnam.<br />

Bo Urban Corner // If you’ve driven by Bo Urban Corner in Folsom and wondered if they serve bourbon, you’re<br />
not alone. Also, the answer is no. At first glance, their sign may give you that impression, but when you walk inside, you’ll find<br />
a family-owned Vietnamese eatery that’s warm and welcoming with a modest yet satisfying made-to-order menu. The staff is<br />
extremely helpful and happy to answer questions or give guidance on what to order. Everything is done in a build-it-yourself<br />
style, making it a perfect pick for particular palates. First, choose your protein (whether it’s chicken, beef, salmon, pork, shrimp,<br />
or tofu); next, choose what to do with that protein—a noodle bowl, fresh rolls, or a bánh mì (sandwich)—and then patiently<br />
wait for your mouthwatering meal to be placed in front of you. Speaking of scrumptious, their homemade peanut sauce is<br />
served warm and probably the best I’ve had. I slathered it on my Fresh Rolls, which were stuffed with vermicelli, cilantro,<br />
lettuce, and shrimp, before being tightly wrapped in rice paper. They came in an order of six, so you can share—or not. I<br />
also enjoyed a Noodle Bowl made up of vermicelli, pork, lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, and peanuts with a fried egg roll.<br />
On top? More peanut sauce, some fish oil, and hoisin sauce. Did I mention the peanut sauce? Yum! 704 East Bidwell Street,<br />

Sacramento Pizza Co.<br />
Granite's Wings<br />
Rock-N-Fire<br />
Pete's Restaurant<br />
& Brewhouse<br />
Wing It<br />
Bar 101<br />
The beginning of chicken wings, as we know them today, was in 1964 when<br />
Theresa Bellissimo of Buffalo, NY, fried some up and added hot sauce.<br />
Nowadays, they’re a sporting event staple. Seeking some spots to feed your<br />
LIST need during <strong>March</strong> Madness? Read on for a few of our faves.<br />
Chicken Wings<br />
THE<br />
By Tara Harbert<br />
Hot<br />
Sacramento Pizza Co. in Folsom makes slightly<br />
spicy, deliciously tangy Tandoori Chicken Wings<br />
that are a serious game-day game changer.<br />
Coated in a curry flavored, house-made sauce<br />
that’s a family recipe, fans come flying in from near<br />
and far to get a taste. Whether you want bone-in<br />
or boneless, and six or 12 pieces, the price (and<br />
taste) is right. sacpizzaco.com<br />
At Granite’s Wings in Roseville, they definitely<br />
aren’t “winging” it. In fact, the family behind<br />
the eatery was the first to bring Buffalo wings<br />
to Sacramento and is the real deal. Their Garlic<br />
Parmesan Wings are particularly praiseworthy and<br />
perfect for people who can’t take the heat. With the<br />
option to order up to 50 pieces, they’re the primo<br />
pick for a large group gathering. graniteswings.com<br />
Rock-N-Fire in Folsom brings their restaurant’s<br />
namesake to the Mango Habanero Wings. Crispy<br />
on the outside and juicy on the inside, this finger<br />
(and finger-lickin’-good) food delivers a spicy,<br />
sweet heat that’ll have you reaching for the<br />
closest beer. (Good thing they have 12 on tap.)<br />
Note: This sauce is their spiciest, so don’t say we<br />
didn’t warn you! rocknfirerestaurants.com<br />
If you think spice is nice, then you’ll love the<br />
Sweet & Spicy Glazed Buffalo Wings at Pete’s<br />
Restaurant & Brewhouse in Folsom. Made with<br />
charbroiled chicken and thickly coated in a<br />
slightly sticky, lightly sweet, and spicy sauce,<br />
you’ll be an instant fan. For a real steal, order them<br />
during happy hour (Monday-Friday from 3-6 p.m.).<br />
petesrestaurantbrewhousefolsom.com<br />
Wing It in Jackson makes some pretty cluckin’<br />
amazing wings. From shareable portions to large<br />
party sizes, and myriad flavor and spice options<br />
(think garlic parm, classic, and honey garlic), they<br />
appease all appetites. The fantastically stickysweet<br />
Teriyaki Wings never fail to wow a crowd<br />
and will have all your partygoers reaching for “just<br />
one more.” wingiton49.com<br />
When it comes to the wonderful world of wings, it’s<br />
hard to commit to just one flavor. Thankfully, Bar 101 in<br />
Roseville allows you to pick two (if you politely ask!).<br />
Start with the standard Buffalo Wings and, depending<br />
on your palate, go (insanely) spicy with their "just<br />
plain ridiculous sauce" or play it safe with zesty BBQ.<br />
All are house-made (including the accompanying<br />
ranch), equally delish, and certain to satisfy your every<br />
gnawing desire. bar101roseville.com<br />

On the Rocks<br />
3 Wonderful Whiskeys<br />
It’s a wonderful world of whiskeys out there, but luckily Northern California makes<br />
some of the best. Whether you prefer yours neat, on the rocks, or mixed into a craft<br />
cocktail, we have a locally distilled bottle for you. —Compiled by Megan Wiskus<br />
The Young Prince<br />
TASTING NOTES: Composed of 52% corn, 30%<br />
barley, and 18% rye, this bourbon is complex, slightly<br />
sweet, and has notes of spice, with a long, smooth<br />
finish and soft mouthfeel. Even at 96 proof, it’s both<br />
delicate and full-flavored.<br />
ABV: 48% PRICE: $40<br />

10th Street Peated Single<br />
Malt American Whisky<br />
TASTING NOTES: Balanced, buttery, and fullbodied,<br />
this single malt whisky— crafted using<br />
peated barley sourced from Scotland and mineral<br />
rich water from Sierra snowmelt—boasts a subtle<br />
complexity, creamy flavors of vanilla and dark red<br />
apple peels, and a lingering peaty finish.<br />

Bodie 5 Dog Single Malt<br />
California Whiskey<br />
TASTING NOTES: This florally, malty whiskey has<br />
a nice grain flavor without tasting of “peat”—the<br />
smoky and sometimes intense flavor associated<br />
with many modern Scotch brands—making it<br />
approachable and super smooth when sipping neat<br />
or with a large block of ice.<br />
