s I was looking through old photos attempting to find a not-too-embarrassing pic of me with one of my childhood dogs, I came to the realization that we had A LOT of pets over the years. Two Pekingese, two or three poodles, a Peekapoo (hmm…wonder how that happened?), two pugs, two or three yellow Labs (poodles and Labs were mainstays), a beagle, a bloodhound, three cats, two to six Chinchilla hamsters (the two started a family), one chameleon, one bearded dragon, at least eight gorgeous saltwater fish…and a partridge in a pear tree. Some might call this a pet shop; we called it home. To be fair, we did live on a big patch of land—the neighbors didn’t hate us too much. The embarrassing photo that I ended up going with this month is of our pug, Rambo, and me. You can probably figure out why we called him Rambo with this shot of him in typical form. Looking back, he was likely just showing his disapproval of my not-so-fabulous hair. Thanks Mom and Dad. I digress. Rambo was a riot, had a never-ending supply of personality, loved to climb everything, and was loyal to the end. After seeing how many photo submissions we received this year for Style’s annual People & Their Pets pictorial spread, it became clear that most of us are very, very fond of our fur family members. It was a daily pleasure to open each new email and instantly smile upon viewing local peeps and their beloved pets. People even sent notes of sentiment for their pet or detailed the memory associated with that particular photo. It was quite endearing, but most of all rewarding, to put together this feature. Smiling is so satisfying and this month will have you full of giggles. Turn the pages to find the area’s cutest celebrity pooches, kitties and more. Also this month, don’t miss our annual listing of accomplished local authors and their published works in Shelf Life. In the Money department, Bill Romanelli gives you “6 Steps to Reach Your Raise,” if you’re contemplating an inquisition with your boss. Turning to Our Kids, Jenn Thornton helps families not only prepare for packing lunches as schools take session, but also shares practical advice from local professionals for helping kids make smart food choices in “Childhood Obesity: 7 Tips to Trim the Fat.” And for your pet’s health, Margaret Snider opens an old door to a new age of holistic veterinary medicine in “The Whole Pet,” which introduces a more integrative approach to accessing and treating your pet’s health needs as directed by local veterinarians utilizing both Eastern and Western medicine. There are surprising findings that give those with ailing animals more options. Read on! Until next month, enjoy the pages of Style and the final dog days of summer! — Desiree

Yet for McAnally, the most rewarding aspect of his success is the opportunity to give back to his community.

hen Roseville Resident Bill McAnally was a kid, he never imagined he would grow up to be a racecar driver. Although he’d spent years building cars in a neighbor’s garage, it wasn’t until he got a job as a sound monitor at a racetrack that he discovered his passion for the sport. In his spare time, he started building and racing his own entry-level stock cars, or “bombers.” Although it took years of hard work, he was finally able to take up racing full-time in 1999, and he’s never looked back. He and his team at Bill McAnally Racing are now five-time NASCAR K & N Pro Series West champions, and they continue to win races across the U.S. and all over the

season’s eatings
PlacerGROWN and Foothill Farmers’ Market WHAT’S IN SEASON NOW: Heirloom tomatoes When many people hear the word “heirloom,” images of items that have been passed down through generations come to mind. When it comes to heirloom tomatoes, it’s the tomato seeds that are saved for future planting.
SELECTION AND STORAGE:
DID YOU KNOW? Heirloom tomatoes are classified into four categories: family, commercial, mystery and created heirlooms. Through the years, gardeners and farmers have grown heirlooms for a variety of reasons: to save the seeds from year to year, to enjoy their unique taste, and to simply have the satisfaction of growing a plethora of varieties. When purchasing or growing tomatoes, you’ll want to consider that heirlooms have a shorter shelf life than most tomato varieties.
14 stylemg.com - August 2013
Normally, heirloom tomatoes are not perfectly formed, which is one of the reasons why they have such appeal. They can be green, red, yellow and all hues in between. When ripe, they’re usually quite juicy and can be delicate. Store heirloom tomatoes at room temperature—unless it’s necessary to slow down the ripening process, at which time refrigeration is an option.
how to pair with wine: Farm-fresh heirloom tomatoes pair well with many delicious summer ingredients and crisp wines. Foothill Farmers’ Market Chef Courtney McDonald’s recipe for a watermelon and tomato salad is light and refreshing (get the recipe at stylemg.com/Roseville-Granite-BayRocklin). We recommend pairing the salad with
ask the experts a busy mom. How do I Q: I’m schedule time to workout? first step to scheduling A: The workout time is realizing that to be a good mother and wife, you need to make time for yourself. It’s one of the most unselfish things you can do! For me, working out is a meditative hour where I get to completely focus inward. I often bring my kids along if childcare is offered, or squeeze in an early morning class before anyone even knows I’m gone. —Sandra Lemos, Co-Owner The Dailey Method
A: “Schedule it!” I’m a believer in
putting workouts on my calendar. If I don’t, there never seems time to fit it in. Scheduling with a friend can also keep you accountable. As the day goes on, finding time is challenging due to daily demands, which is why I love morning workouts. Workouts are your time and can preserve your sanity, while also setting a positive example for your family. —Stacey Armijo, Co-Owner The Dailey Method 1611 Lead Hill Road, Roseville, 916-783-8367 2766 East Bidwell Street, Folsom, 916-351-8361 thedaileymethod.com a chilled Rosato wine (a Rosé made from Mediterranean varietals such as Sangiovese, Barbera or Tempranillo).

link and you might miss Pullman Kitchen & Catering, the 400-square-foot kitchen at Quarry Ponds. Friends and family raved about this little Granite Bay gem so I was excited to visit on a recent afternoon. Derived from the long sleeping cars on passenger trains created by the Pullman Company during the 19th and 20th centuries, the term “pullman” is an architectural Chicken Apple Sausage with Eggs, designation for a narrow space within a Fruit and Toast structure, usually in reference to a kitchen. Indeed, the first thing one notices is the eatery’s size—and the fact that there’s only one person manning the joint. Sovy, the owner and chef, cooks all the food to order, so it’s best to call your order in before you come. As we waited, Sovy intermittently placed a huge fresh loaf of rosemary bread on our table, followed by a large organic mixed greens salad. Our brunch selections were brought out next. I went for the simply prepared yet absolutely delicious Chicken Apple Sausage, served with fluffy scrambled eggs, a side of fruit and toast, while my dining partners chose Sovy’s albacore tuna sandwich, Thai coconut curry soup, and the salmon. Our selections were all amazing, but it wasn’t quite over. Sovy surprised us with a round of her delicately complex crème brûlée and a to-go box of fresh fruit! This is one little kitchen that produces big-time flavors, so don’t blink.

karen burns Vintage Vibrance by LeeAnn Dickson changes and I changed with it...I got tired of sewing and picked up a camera,” the busy mom and homemaker says. In 2012, Burns became really inspired. A representative from San Francisco’s renowned De Young Museum was judging artwork at a fundraiser for Roseville’s Blue Line Arts. Her piece depicting six rental bicycles resting on an ancient wall in Sorrento, Italy, was selected in the top five among the 100 pieces he viewed. “Having one of my pieces chosen in the top five,” Burns admits, “helped give validation for what I do.” Burns is a member of Blue Line Arts, and her work will be included in the gallery’s Membership Medley show through August 24. She also has work available for view and purchase at Bushnell Gardens Nursery’s Home and Garden Shop in Granite Bay. “I love Karen’s work,” Shelby Bushnell, the nursery’s co-owner, explains. “[It] has a fun, vibrant whimsy that invites you in.” It’s important to the nursery’s owners that they support artists in the area. Bushnell prizes her own collection of Burns’ work. “I am proud to hang her art in my home,” she says.

uthor Karen Clark said, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Granite Bay artist Karen Burns looks at many different images and captures them with her camera; then, using her amazing talent and a combination of different editing and artistic techniques, she changes them into something extraordinary. Working with photos as diverse as flowering trees from her backyard and Old Sacramento sidewalks to bicycles parked along Italian alleyways, she turns to several computer programs to augment each image. “I enhance the original image to focus on the [photo’s] key elements,” Burns explains. Although nature inspires her, she also loves to focus on architectural details, such as doors and knockers. “Once the image is in the computer,” Burns says, “I’m often surprised by the details that emerge—those I didn’t originally see with the camera.” She loves to photograph locally and takes her camera with her on daily walks, as well as on road trips and international excursions. With her expert eye, she creates still lives of all types of scenes and also finds action shots, such as an Italian housewife hanging her laundry. “I love laundry shots; it was really exciting to get the woman in action,” Burns says. After the image is printed and the gallery wrapped, she adds acrylic paint to the surface. “When I apply paint, it adds more texture and dimension,” Burns says. The artist honed her sense of color while working as a professional quilter, where she created hand-sewn art pieces for a variety of international shows. “Life

ou exercise, eat right and take your vitamins, so you must be healthy, right? Maybe, but maybe not. Look in the mirror for signs your body needs a health overhaul.
HAIR What you see: Noticeable hair loss What it might mean: Hormone changes, thyroid problems, or a dieting side effect
SKIN What you see: Dry, flaky skin What it might mean: You’re using harsh products and bathing in water that’s too hot “Modification of habits will usually take care of the problem,” says Dr. Seema Maple, who practices family medicine with Sutter Medical Group, noting it’s good to use products meant for sensitive skin and avoid scented detergents and dryer sheets. Other possible dry skin culprits include conditions that require additional treatment, such as eczema or psoriasis, blood pressure medications, and hormonal changes due to menopause. Good nutrition can help, too. Dr. Maple advises eating foods rich in vitamin A, as well as omega-3 and omega-6, including fish, whole grains, flax seeds and walnuts.
tears. You might have viral conjunctivitis, a.k.a. pinkeye, if your eyes seem bloodshot “with significant discharge or mucus.” Dr. Li says pinkeye frequently gets better on its own but advises that it’s “important to practice good hand hygiene and avoid touching the eyes to prevent the spread of disease to others.” Go to an eye doctor right away to prevent long-term damage. If you have severely red eyes accompanied by pain, light sensitivity or a decrease in vision.
“We lose 50 to 100 hairs daily,” Dr. Maple says. “That is normal.” If you’re losing hair in clumps, have scalp redness or itching, see your doctor. Hair loss typically occurs in women about four to six months after childbirth and again during menopause. Hair that normally would have been lost during pregnancy stays with women and may seem to shed excessively in the months after giving birth. Other potential reasons for hair loss include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid disease. Dr. Maple also says crash dieting can result in hair loss. Women lose hair all over the scalp, while men generally get a receding hairline. Volumizing treatments and Rogaine—which, according to Dr. Maple, results in new hair growth in a quarter of the patients who use the product— can be helpful.

You probably don’t check out your tongue all the time but if it’s swollen, you need to pay attention to what’s going on. “It’s common to have mild swelling of the tongue with some colds,” says Dr. Maple, who explains rapid tongue swelling could indicate a serious allergy. Other mouth issues to consider include a coating on your tongue and halitosis. “A coating on the tongue could be from medication or germs in the mouth,” Dr. Maple says. “Brushing the tongue is helpful to control bad breath.”

childhood obesity 7 Tips for Trimming the Fat by Jenn Thornton
1. SET THE EXAMPLE “Early on, children learn behaviors and attitudes about food and health from their parents,” Carlson says. “Even without realizing it a parent may [invite] a child to ignore their own hunger cues by encouraging them to finish a bottle or the food on their plate.” So, be a good role model (eat well and exercise) and avoid mindless grazing.
4. GARDEN
7. SKIP THE DRIVE-THRU
If the greens scene at your place is not exactly flourishing, invest in a few containers and watch your little ones cultivate an interest in homegrown goodness—and a better relationship with food from the ground up. Arrange visits to local farms and U-pick orchards and kick up the creativity quotient at the store by playing “Name That Fruit” (you purchase, they prepare) and at home with “Veggie Iron Chef”—the most creative recipe wins.
“While family meals around the table are considered the cornerstone of good health, fast food has become a way of life for many busy families,” Carlson admits. With the end goal to bypass the drive-thru for good, start with compromise: Fast food twice a month, with Mom deciding the where and what. Schedule these visits in advance and scout the best options with the healthiest meal plans. Seek out kid-sized portions and nutritious substitutions, and avoid sodas (bring full water bottles with H2O or zero-calorie fruit water from home).
5. SCHEDULE SNACKS
“Moving” sounds more appealing than “exercising” to fitness-adverse kids. Find fresh ways to boost family fitness without labeling it. Plan an after-dinner stroll and forage for blackberries to top off frozen Greek yogurt for dessert, or put your kids’ video-game obsession (and the Wii) to good use and join them in dancing off dinner with the help of games like Just Dance.
“If kids are allowed to free graze and fill up on processed snacks and juice during the day, they will be too full and have little desire to try healthful choices at mealtimes,” says Carlson, adding that a meal and snack schedule allows parents to control food choices and amount. “Chances are they will be more willing to try new foods when they don’t compete with go-to snacks.”
3. GET COOKIN‘
6. AVOID LABELING
If you want your little sugar fiends to favor healthier fare, enlist their help in preparing it. Start with lunch. From ingredients you provide (with at least one healthier version of something they love in the mix), put them “in charge” of packing. But, adds Carlson, “Make sure your child gets a variety of whole grains, fruit, veggies and lean protein choices to keep them fueled for the day while avoiding the temptation to reach for convenience snacks.” Graduate to bigger meals.
Tagging foods as good or bad “can make poor choices even more attractive by eliciting a desire for the forbidden,” Carlson warns. But, when tasting new foods is presented as an “adventure,” kids are more apt to explore other options, especially when taste, color, texture and variety are touted.
2. CHANGE THE CONVERSATION

Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, approximately 1 in 88 children has been identified as having an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and although ASDs occur in all racial, ethnic and socioeconomic groups, they are nearly five times more common among boys than girls. Additionally, the CDC reports that medical expenditures for those with an ASD are up to 6.2 times greater than for those without an ASD.

and says it has been “a beacon of light” for her family, which includes two children on the autism spectrum. “I have never met so many friendly people who are willing to sacrifice their time [and] effort and give so freely of their knowledge to help others,” she says. “I feel understood and supported by families and friends who have joined this great organization. It is great to meet others and make friends with those who have similar struggles, dreams and wishes for their children.” “As the years have progressed, I have had families tell me that if it were not for FEAT they would not have known the many options and avenues their children could have taken,” adds Mariscal. “Personally, my son is now 19 and getting ready for college. The road ahead is still filled with many unseen troubles, as well as adventures, and knowing that FEAT is there to help makes life that much easier to manage.”

hen Connie Mariscal’s son was diagnosed with autism in 1998, the complex range of developmental disorders within the autism spectrum remained largely mysterious. “A diagnosis back [then] brought little to no assistance,” she explains. “Implementing a scientifically based program to help my son achieve his best outcome was the only way that I could help him.” That same year, Mariscal began donating her time to Families for Early Autism Treatment (FEAT), a Sacramento-based nonprofit dedicated to providing valuable resources and information to families touched by autism. Through a combination of mentorship and monthly support meetings, social and recreational events, and fundraising, FEAT serves hundreds of local children and their families annually. “My personal goal and mission,” Mariscal says, “has always been to not have one more mother, father or family shed a single tear as a result of not receiving proper assistance or intervention [and] treatment for their child.” Founded in 1993 by parents and treatment professionals, FEAT’s founding members began with a goal of improving early autism intervention services in the Sacramento area. Through a combination of grants and fundraising, they were eventually able to provide intensive early intervention training to both parents and local health care professionals with the help of therapists from the UCLA Clinic for the Behavioral Treatment of Children. “FEAT is the only organization that is with families…in their school, regional center, social security, or any other agency meeting,” Mariscal explains. “We guide parents through every process personally and professionally.” According to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s

pay up 6 Steps to Reach Your Raise by Bill Romanelli
A
sking the boss for a raise is never easy, no matter how well it’s deserved. Two experts on employment and career advancement have some helpful advice. Laura MasonSmith is an executive coach and president of Mason-Smith Success Strategies, and Cindy Coelho-Bunker is president of River City Staffing Group and serves on the board of the Sacramento Area Human Resource Association. Together they offer six tips that will make asking for a raise easier, and could increase your chances of success.
1. BE PREPARED, THINK “RESULTS” AND NOTE “PROGRESS” Simply being at the company for a long period of time or having a list of completed tasks doesn’t cut it. Go beyond what you’ve done, and explain what the results of those activities were. Provide hard facts and numbers that show how the work you’ve done helps the company meet its objectives, makes it better, more profitable, more productive and/or a better place to work. It’s best to keep a journal of these accomplishments over several months, as bosses typically only remember the last few weeks. Best of all, deliver the achievements in writing—professionally organized and presented.
2. TIMING IS EVERYTHING
3. GO IN KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT, BASED ON RESEARCH With so many job boards and professional associations out there, there are numerous resources available to determine what someone in your job position, with your experience and in your market, should be earning. If you’re below this level, that serves as a good guide for how much of an increase to seek. If you’re above this level, you can save yourself embarrassment and disappointment— before inspiring your boss to do this research themselves. 32 stylemg.com - August 2013
4. DON’T LET YOUR REQUEST LANGUISH You probably won’t get an answer at the meeting or even that same day. It’s OK while meeting with your boss to say you understand they probably need some time to think about it, and set another appointment in a few days.
5. AVOID ULTIMATUMS UNLESS YOU’RE REALLY WILLING TO WALK AWAY All an ultimatum does is give your boss a reason to wonder why they should give you more money when you are thinking about leaving anyway.
6. BE CREATIVE AND WILLING TO COMPROMISE The actual dollar amount you want may not be feasible, but there are many different kinds of compensation. More paid time off, a private parking space, telecommuting once a week, or a spot bonus are just a few of the non-salary ways in which your good work can be recognized.

Don’t ask for a raise after the company has undergone layoffs or salary cuts, lost a big piece of business, or has already finalized its budget for the next fiscal year. Equally important, don’t ambush your boss. It’s best to schedule 15 minutes on their calendar (you don’t need to list “raise” as the subject). Pick a time of day when they are generally more relaxed and not busy, and schedule time early in the week so they can consider your request before the weekend.

4. CREATE DOUBLE-DUTY STORAGE. Built-in storage tailored to your needs is a great organizational solution. Options include wall units, cabinets and seating. When planning for window seats and banquettes, specify a flip-top or drawer-front for extra dish, linen and seasonal storage.
7 Organization Tips & Tricks by Kerrie Kelly
W
hen you have a place for everything and your home is primed to effectively support common activities and tasks—from dealing with mail, bills and memorabilia, to gifting, cleaning and more—it’s as if a little weight is lifted from your shoulders. Making small changes can create efficiency in your day-to-day activities and make your home a calm refuge.
1. START WITH YOUR CLOSET. Once you have your clothes edited down to those you actually wear and love, it’s time to think about how to organize what’s left. Take a few tips from posh clothing boutiques: Put together a favorite outfit on a single hanger where you can easily grab it on a rushed morning. Consider keeping off-season clothes out of sight so there’s room to artfully display bags and shoes on shelves. You can even display favorite jewelry on stands or hand sculptures. 34 stylemg.com - August 2013
2 . STO R E M E D I C I N E I N A LABELED BOX. The medicine cabinet is actually one of the worst places to store medications; the warm, damp conditions can damage sensitive ingredients, and the bottles and tubes tend to clutter up what should ideally be a spot for getting ready. Instead, transfer medicines and first-aid supplies to labeled storage boxes with lids, and keep them on a high shelf in the kitchen or pantry. Sort them in a way that makes sense and label accordingly (Kids, First Aid, Cold & Flu).
3. BE PREPARED FOR BIRTHDAYS AND LAST-MINUTE EVENTS by keeping a yearly birthday calendar taped to the inside of a door, a basket filled with easy gifts bought in bulk (and an assortment of cards), as well as a few candles and banners for an instant party scene. Consider choosing a “signature” giftwrap and ribbon for your house and wrap all of your gifts with it, no matter the occasion.
to tackle an undesirable chore like cleaning the bathroom when the supplies you need are at hand. Store a second set of bathroom-specific products and tools in the cabinet under the bathroom sink, or in a lidded basket on a shelf.
6. PRE-SORT YOUR INCOMING MAIL. Rather than putting it all in one big tray or pile, place magazines, catalogs and other things you’d like to peruse in a magazine file; bills to pay go in a bill basket; personal correspondence goes in a toast rack or on a pretty tray; notices for upcoming events and items to file can go in another magazine file or a folder.
7. USE PHOTOS AS LABELS. Try snapping a photo of the contents of a box before storing it in the garage or basement, and then use that photo to label the outside. A quick glance at the photo and you’ll instantly know what’s inside.

The American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association lists 27 modalities in its brochure (including the two above), as well as clinical nutrition, laser therapy, homeopathy and chiropractics. Number 28 says, “Others as they come to our attention,” and opens up the list even more. Some of these modalities have been found effective when tested in a scientific manner; others may show no evidence attesting to their value.

INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE AT UC DAVIS The University of California, Davis, Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital is known globally. Recently, it opened a new Integrative Medicine Service. Although the hospital treats mostly patients from the Davis/Sacramento area, others come from all parts of the country—and even worldwide.

Acupuncture, the insertion of thin needles into certain points in the skin, is an ancient treatment originating in China so long ago that the time period is uncertain. Other holistic methodologies are more recent, such as reiki, a Japanese spiritual practice developed in 1922.
“This Integrative Medicine Service will start with disciplines like acupuncture,” says Dr. Marilyn Koski of UC Davis, who is among the clinical faculty of that service. “We also offer veterinary physical rehabilitation, which includes muscle and joint mobility work, exercise, range-
of-motion therapy, underwater treadmill, and low-level laser therapy. We hope to expand to offer other therapies like geriatric pain management, herbal medicine, chiropractic and hospice care.” Koski, a doctor of veterinary medi-
cine (DVM) and certified veterinary acupuncturist (CVA), has been in private practice for 20 years, treating dogs, cats and exotic species with both Western medicine and acupuncture. For 11 years she taught in the Companion Avian Exotic Pet Medicine Service, a service that August 2013 - stylemg.com 41

treats pet birds, reptiles, fish, rabbits and rodent species. She has used acupuncture in treating dogs, cats, lizards, rabbits, tortoises, birds and exotic species—any pet animal, she says. “Alternative, holistic, Eastern and complementary medicine are some of the many terms used to describe a wide array of disciplines,” Koski says. “I like to refer to acupuncture as a complementary medicine or integrative medicine, because I like to use it in addition to, or integrating it into a Western therapy.” Holistic generally means treating the whole patient, rather than only a localized problem. Acupuncture, she says, is certainly one way to do that. A number of years ago, Koski was actually a skeptic about the efficacy of acupuncture. She worked for a wild animal park in Hong Kong and her colleagues, though educated in England and Australia, were Chinese veterinarians and incorporated acupuncture into their Western treatments. “I would see their patients respond and improve more quickly,” Koski says. “They would be eating sooner after surgery, they would be walking more comfortably, they would be using less pain medication. So it started to pique my interest.” At that time Koski suffered from severe migraine headaches, and her colleagues suggested she try acupuncture for the problem. “I wanted to be gracious to my colleagues and my hosts, and I went for acupuncture three times,” Koski says. “I never suffered from [a] migraine again, and that’s when I decided I needed to learn more about this.” 42 stylemg.com - August 2013
INCREASING ACCEPTANCE UC Davis is not alone in offering integrative treatments. Many veterinarians have found acupuncture and other holistic
“My whole push behind this is to help people who’ve recently adopted or rescued an animal to connect with their new pet and the animal to connect with them.”
modalities to be useful. Alternative veterinary services are becoming both more popular and more available. Dean Bader, DVM, of Shingle Springs Veterinary Clinic, for example,
says that 50 to 60 percent of his clients wish to use some aspect of alternative care as a complement to traditional care. “I’ve always been interested in treating animals nutritionally, because I knew there was a need,” Bader says. He uses, among other diagnostic and treatment tools, applied kinesiology, therapeutic laser and homeopathic medicine, and he trained in acupuncture for animals at Colorado State University. He also treats animals with a Skenar device that stimulates acupuncture points. A number of years ago, Jodi Van Tine, DVM, MA, CVA, CVCVHM, of Folsom Veterinary Hospital found that herbal medicines and a change of diet made a huge difference when her dog, Bailey, underwent major abdominal surgery for cancer. As she explored Eastern medicine, Van Tine discovered that acupuncture, food therapy and Chinese herbal medicine complement each other, creating a triad of treatment modalities. Acupuncture pinpoints collections of immune cells, nerve cells and blood vessels in the shallower parts of the body that connect to specific internal parts of the body via the spinal cord. “One of the things that I like about it [is] it’s a lot more intuitive and more complicated, and intellectually more stimulating,” Van Tine says. “When you get into internal medicine, Eastern medicine is more multidimensional than Western.” Van Tine has been practicing acupuncture since 2006. “The really beneficial thing about Chinese medicine is you can detect changes before critical

disease develops,” she says. “You can restore patients to a more healthy state so that they don’t develop the disease either as severely or as quickly—or, potentially, if all goes well, ever.” Pets can also benefit from massage. Certified Massage Therapist Tilisa May gives massage therapy to people at The Healing Light Institute in Auburn. Though she started out giving massage just to people, says May, “at the same time I’m volunteering and very actively involved in animal rescue here in the Auburn area and Placer County.” She also periodically offers a class to the public—Introduction to Pet Massage. “My whole push behind this is to help people who’ve recently adopted or rescued an animal to connect with their new pet and for the animal to connect with them,” May shares. She says that massage can also be beneficial to aging pets. “As we get older and age, our joints get stiff, our muscles get stiff and we just don’t move around as much as we used to; massage really helps that, in people as well as animals.”
THE VETERINARIAN’S OATH The mission for all therapies utilized to better the welfare of the animals treated, as stated in the Veterinarian’s Oath, adopted in 1969 and last amended in 2010, by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Vet with cat photo © dmitrimaruta/fotolia.com.
It reads: Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health and welfare, the prevention and relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge. I will practice my profession, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics. I accept as a lifelong obligation the continual improvement of my professional knowledge and competence. While holistic remedies may be disparaged by some as exotic or bizarre, it would be the rare veterinarian who did not try to live up to the oath, whether he or she is labeled holistic, integrative, Western, traditional, alternative or anything else.

ife’s too short to eat bad pizza. This is basically the mantra of Original Pete’s Restaurants, who have been serving praiseworthy pizza to the greater Sacramento area since 1987. While I have childhood nostalgia for Original Pete’s, I had not yet patronized their newest incarnation (in 2006, they partnered with Firestone Walker Brewery, created handcrafted brews and opened Pete’s Restaurant & Brewhouse). To remedy the situation, I recently visited their Granite Bay location.
pete’s restaurant & brewhouse More Than Just Good Pizza by Kelly Soderlund Photography by Dante Fontana
Pete’s goal is simple: good food and good beer. Scanning the menu, I realized that, while both Original Pete’s and Pete’s Brewhouse menus are extremely similar, the latter is slightly more sophisticated, and features several dishes with decidedly pan-Asian flavors, such as seared ahi tuna and curry chicken. However, that nostalgia kicked in we chose to begin our meal with the delicate calamari. It arrived lightly battered and fried to golden perfection, served with a zesty cocktail sauce and that ubiquitous fresh lemon wedge. Next up: BBQ chicken salad, served with Pete’s own BBQ sauce drizzled over the top of sliced grilled chicken breast, chopped lettuce, sweet corn, black beans, diced Roma tomatoes, scallions, tortilla strips and pepper jack cheese, all tossed with ranch dressing. And, of course, no experience at any of the Pete’s restaurants would be complete without that famous pizza, so we also chose the 10” Veghead pie—a mélange of fresh artichoke hearts, black olives, zucchini, mushrooms, yellow onions, bell peppers, feta cheese and garlic purée, topped with chilled and diced Roma tomatoes. Pete’s pizzas are handtossed, New York-style with fresh whole milk mozzarella and topped with Pete’s famous red sauce, which only uses all-natural tomatoes, free of added hormones or preservatives. (Garlic ranch, BBQ or pesto sauce is also available upon request.) And don’t forget (although how could you?) it’s called a brewhouse for a reason: Pete’s fare is complemented by an extensive beer and wine list (check the 50 stylemg.com - August 2013

dinner date Food and Wine for the Season MOHUA SAUVIGNON BLANC 2012 The Mohua label comes from Peregrine Winery, which is passionate about the conservation of birdlife in New Zealand—so much so that part of their proceeds goes toward the cause. The wine’s moniker comes from the bird of the same name, mohua, which is small, colorful and only found on New Zealand’s South Island. Mohua Sauvignon Blanc 2012 is a super juicy, classic Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand, an area currently making some of the best wines in the world. They’re especially known for their Sauvignon Blancs, which are distinctively different from Napa-style ones and Pinot Noirs. This particular wine is full of lime and citrus flavors, and if you’ve ever had a gooseberry (a fruit often mentioned with great New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, but rarely seen in this area), you’ll recognize its flavor all over the palate. This particular bottle pairs nicely with summer foods— especially grilled pizza with pears, pecorino and walnuts—and is also perfect to sip. The screw cap makes it even easier to enjoy a glass on the patio…before enjoying more with dinner! If you have a chance, buy some Mohua; at approximately $13 a bottle, it’s a lot of wine for the price. —Richard Righton Owner, Bidwell Street Bistro in Folsom

Build a medium-hot/medium-low, twozone fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Sprinkle two rimless baking sheets with flour. Divide dough into two equal pieces; roll out each piece on a floured work surface to a 15-inch round. Transfer to prepared baking sheets. Brush grill grate with oil. Place one dough round on grate on hotter side of grill and cook until lightly charred and no longer sticking, 2-3 minutes. Using tongs, turn dough over and grill until cooked through, 1-2 minutes longer. Using a spatula, transfer crust to rimless baking sheet. Repeat with second dough round. If using a gas grill, reduce heat to medium. Thinly slice cheese; arrange atop crusts, leaving a 1/2-inch plain border. Cover cheese with a single layer of pear slices (there may be some pear left over), and then scatter walnuts over top. Working one at a time, slide pizzas from baking sheets onto cooler part of grill. Cover grill and cook pizzas until cheese softens and bottoms are crisp, 4-5 minutes. Transfer pizzas to work surface. Season with pepper; drizzle with oil. Makes two 15-inch pizzas.

introducing Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Established in 2007, Duane Benefit Solutions is a full-service health benefits brokerage, providing health insurance assistance to employers, individuals/families, and those who are eligible for Medicare. After having my third child, I made the conscious decision to leave a career position at a global benefits firm to start my own business. This transition has afforded me the opportunity to continue working in an industry that I enjoy, while also having the flexibility to play a more active role in my children’s lives. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? I have a passion for raising money for schools. The past three years I’ve been an active member of the RCSD Foundation and have had the opportunity to learn more about the 18 schools within our district. Recently, I was appointed to the board of trustees. Seeing the landscape of our community through the education system Susan Duane has allowed me to understand the variety of economic challenges many Roseville families face. What’s your hidden talent? Duane Benefit I’m a local “celebrity” chef who is inspired by dishes that incorporate bacon! In 2012, I won Solutions the CampusLife Celebrity Chili Cook-Off for my bacon chili. 3805 Atherton Road What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? Rocklin After a hard workout, I often venture over to Granite’s Famous Cheesesteaks & Wings. 916-435-0106 They have the most flavorful cheesesteaks I’ve found in the Roseville area, and the owner duanebenefits.com is so nice to my children when we visit. Cheesesteaks were a staple in my childhood, and Granite’s takes me back to those fond memories. And finally, customer service is…? Responsiveness, integrity and honesty. By advising my clients the way I would advise my own family, it builds relationships for life.

D. Brent Reed, MD
64 stylemg.com - August 2013
Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? We do comprehensive medical eye care, including eye exams, optical services, cataract surgery, and laser vision correction (LASIK). Bob Griffin hired me 26 years ago; he’s been retired for about 13 years and Dr. Nilu Maboudi took his place. Dr. Kwang Kim has been here for the last eight years, and Dr. Guy Seydel has been with us for 15 years. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? Most of my patients are also my friends. I’m involved in their lives to the extent our association allows. My wife and I volunteer extensively in the community and do service through our church affiliation. Why is your staff the best in the business? They care about people more than material things. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? Being a husband, father, grandfather and a caring physician. Who is your role model in business or in life, and why? Jesus Christ—who better to try and emulate? Where do you go when the going gets tough? To my knees to pray. What’s your hidden talent? I rarely give up. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? Claim Jumper in Roseville. If you could meet someone living or dead, who would it be and why? I hope to someday meet Jesus Christ and express my gratitude to Him. After that I’d like to talk with Abraham Lincoln. And finally, customer service is…? Believing in and applying the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have done unto you.”

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? I design and handcraft sterling silver and gemstone jewelry in my studio. I began making jewelry as a hobby, and soon found I had a knack for it. Recently, I began creating pieces for celebrity swag bags (at the Golden Globe Awards and the Primetime Emmy Awards), which has been such an incredible experience! How are you involved with both the community and your customer? I create a lot of custom designs for weddings, bridesmaids and special occasions; as well, I have donated pieces for breast cancer awareness and Donate Life causes. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? Without question, my son Carson—he is my pride and joy. Who is your role model in business or in life, and why? Kristi Taylor One of my first bosses said, “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” I’ve taken that to heart, although more figuratively than literally. got sparkles What’s your biggest job perk? Carmichael When I left office life, I felt isolated for a time. As my customer base has grown, I feel 916-799-9606 like my clients have become family. I really am blessed with the best clients anyone gotsparkles.com could hope for. Where do you and your family go locally to have fun? We love to window shop at the Fountains at Roseville, and my son loves to ride the train. If you could be any other profession, what would it be? A rock star—now I just get to design jewelry for them! And finally, customer service is…? My top business priority. Without outstanding customer service, a business will not succeed. Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? I worked for a local company for 10 years as a barber, and after they shut down I decided to take a leap of faith and go out on my own. What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience? A car wash—I learned people skills and customer service. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? I like to donate to local events that raise money for worthy causes. Why is your staff the best in the business? Being that I am “the staff,” I’m on my game! Customer service is what I’m about. I have been doing this for just over 24 years. Being a seasoned barber gives me an edge over the competition in advanced fades and flattops. I take a lot of pride in my finished product and will go to great lengths to make people feel pleased with the service they receive. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? Being a mom, first and foremost; also, starting my own successful business, accumulating all of the wonderful friends and family I have, and being a part of the foothill bridges and Arco Arena construction as an apprentice carpenter. Where do you go when the going gets tough? I go to the auto mall—I love driving the latest muscle cars and checking out how they handle on turns. What’s your hidden talent? I can sing. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? Baja Fresh. What’s your favorite childhood memory? Being the first girl in northern California to play boys’ baseball.

tom takes a vacation Destination Lazy by Julie Ryan

begins. And that’s just 20 minutes into the trip. You can’t threaten with, “If you can’t decide, you won’t watch anything!” because you have the pot of gold right there. You can’t waste it. Not to mention, the selfish side of you doesn’t want to deal with the crying and whining because you wouldn’t let them watch a movie. It’s a 10-hour car ride! Then it happens. The dreaded, “I have to go potty.” You think back. Didn’t you tell them to go before you left the house? They said they didn’t have to. You told them to try anyway. Your husband wants
to pull into the first place he sees. You argue that it has to be clean. The kids are starting to get upset because they can’t hold it much longer. You start to dream about going on vacation by yourself…to a nice, quiet place where you can relax in your folding lounge chair, while sipping a cold strawberry daiquiri out of your “I heart my family” tumbler. Ahh, the lazy days of summer. I think Tom is on to something.

veryone’s heard the saying, “lazy days of summer,” right? Well, August is now “lazy days of Tom.” (Which is interesting, because August is the only month without an official holiday or day off). Tommy has decided that it would be too hard to write this article while draped over his folding lounge chair in his Speedo, sipping lemonade out of his “I heart Bigfoot” tumbler. Summer is the perfect time to be lazy; it’s too hot to do anything. People practically expect you to lie out in the sun and drink ice-cold beverages all day. You’re supposed to take naps on the couch while watching baseball. You’re supposed to go on vacation and leave your worries behind. But, have you ever noticed families on vacation—the frustration, the irritation and the weariness all over their faces? Vacations are work. You need a vacation when you come back from your vacation. Picture for a moment being with your family 24 hours a day for a week. Now don’t get me wrong: I love my family; I love them enough to not go on a weeklong vacation with them. My husband suggested a family vacation this year. We compromised with a five-day road trip up to Portland, Oregon. A road trip means being in a car—a very small, enclosed space that you cannot escape. A trip to Portland meant two full days in a car with a threeand five-year old. Side note to my parents: How in the h**l did you survive road trips with my brother and me without a DVD player? The DVD player is like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (unless no one can decide what movie to watch for the 87th time). The fighting
