f you are reading this, you have obviously seen that Style has a new look – both inside and out – and the reason for this change is you. Frequent reader and advertiser surveys keep us on our toes and assist us in the development of new stories and the information that you find beyond the cover each month. We liken covers to “eyes” in the sense that we so often can look into the eyes of another person and see who they are. After listening to you, our readers and staff, we have decided to go with a new look – one that exemplifies not just our readers, but also the region where we have all chosen to live our lives. We work here, we play here, we raise our children here, we shop here and maybe most importantly, we grow here. Style Magazine has evolved quite a bit over the past nine years. A quick look back to our first issue proves that we have come a long way and this glance to yesteryears always elicits a little internal giggle. However, there is no mistaking our evolution as a local publication, a progression that we can only thank you for, because, at the end of the day – your comments (both good and bad), your story ideas and your support of the magazine are really what has assisted us in stitching Style into the fabric of the community. As we head into our 10th year producing Style, a number of milestones will come and go. One of those is a little hard to get our arms around, and that is the sheer number of copies we have printed and circulated since our launch: 5,000,000. That’s right – five million! We have featured hundreds of artists, hundreds more new business people, scores of local leaders and the best in dining and entertainment. But the single most important word in all of this is: LOCAL. It’s vital to us to encourage spending money locally as it has a profound impact on each and every one of us. So really, it all comes back around to you, the reader. Things start to move and shake when you make the decision to support your local businesses and the community in general. We plan to be here to continue to help guide you in the right direction for a long time to come. With that said, can we ask you for your opinion? Email us at info@stylemg.com and let us know what you think of our new look…we look forward to your comments. All the best. — Terry Carroll & Wendy Sipple Publishers

Q&A Q: What advice would you give to your younger self? A: Have confidence that what you have to offer is of true value. Never hide your light under a bushel. Q: What comes to you naturally? A: Humor, making people feel comfortable in difficult situations, supporting people through difficult times, and talking about sexuality and intimacy while making it fun. Q: What’s your biggest pet peeve? A: When I’m timid and don’t speak out against injustice; when there is violence or abuse and no one speaks out; narrow minds with loud voices, and bullies.
Certified Sexual Counselor Dr. Fran Fisher didn’t begin her career the way you’d expect. Just before her 18th birthday, she entered a Roman Catholic convent with hopes of becoming a missionary. Three years later she left the convent for marriage, children and a career as a registered nurse. “I did not really have what it took to stay in a contemplative life,” she admits. Although Fisher moved to California with her family from England more than 30 years ago, it wasn’t until her children were nearly grown that she took a life-changing sexology workshop. At the time, she was shocked by her own ignorance about human sexuality, despite many years of marriage. “I hate the thought of feeling 12 stylemg.com - August 2012
ignorant,” Fisher explains. The workshop soon led to more classes and eventually a Ph.D. in human sexuality. These days, Fisher spends her time counseling and educating people about sexuality, in addition to volunteering with ReSurge International, a group that provides volunteer reconstructive surgeries in the developing world. She also started her own foundation, Feed All Kids (FAKS), which helps provide meals to children recovering from these surgeries. More than anything, however, Fisher is passionate about educating others on sexuality so they can live more fulfilling lives. “It’s a privilege to do this job,” she says. — Amber Foster

ficult to determine whether weight loss is a symptom of a medical problem, or merely the result of behavioral changes. Regardless of when the weight loss occurs, any weight change in a pet, especially smaller pets like cats, may be significant; the pet should be seen by a veterinarian in order to rule out a more serious problem. However, that being said, the long days of summer can bring increased activity for indoor/outdoor cats, since they have more opportunity to climb trees and hunt bugs. Hot summer temperatures may also lead to decreased food intake, which in turn could contribute to a cat’s weight loss as well. — Dr. Wendy MacKinnon Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic 3901 Sierra College Boulevard Loomis, 916-652-5816 loomisbasinvet.com
season’s eatings
PlacerGROWN and Foothill Farmers’ Market WHAT’S IN SEASON NOW: Tomatoes! The hot, dry climate of Placer County produces some of the finest tomato varieties throughout the summer months. The tomato, which originated in South America and spread around the world following the Spanish colonization of the Americas, is available in more than 7,500 varieties. Placer County growers are known for 12 to 16 kinds, including Juliet, Beefsteak, Oxheart, Cherry, Brandywine, Fourth of July, Early Girl and Roma.
DID YOU KNOW? Even though tomatoes are usually displayed in the vegetable section of local farmers’ markets or grocery stores, this versatile, diverse food is actually considered a fruit. Tomatoes are delicious raw, in sauces and even drinks. From a nutritional standpoint, the tomato is believed by many to benefit the heart, among other organs, because it contains lycopene, one of the most powerful natural antioxidants. To buy the freshest tomatoes the region has to offer, visit a Foothill Farmers’ Market or buy directly from these 14 stylemg.com - August 2012
family farms: in Auburn, head to Amber Oaks Raspberries or Machado Orchards; in Lincoln, check out Beauty Ranch or Foothill Produce & Flower Farm; in Penryn, Pilz Produce at Hillcrest or Willow Creek Ranch; and in Granite Bay, Otow Orchard.
SELECTION AND STORAGE: Tomatoes not yet ripe are optimally stored at room temperature, uncovered and out of direct sunlight. In this environment, they’re expected to have a shelf life of three to four days. A ripe tomato should be consumed within one to two days for best flavor and can be refrigerated; however, this type of storage can affect the fruit’s taste. — Susan Belknap For the recipe to make Penne Pasta with Tomatoes, Fennel and Peppers, visit stylemg.com.

ven though the heat is intensifying, your family (including the pets) still require daily exercise! Rocklin Parks and Recreation would like to remind all area residents of the 30-plus parks in the City of Rocklin, including the recently opened RRUFF dog park, located at Johnson-Springview Community Park. Make sure both you and your pet are getting adequate exercise this summer! Thirty minutes of walking, five times per week can drastically improve a person’s health. For those with canines who like to misbehave, the City of Rocklin offers dog-training classes, from beginning to advanced levels. It’s never too early to start thinking about fall: Kids Junction is Rocklin’s only beforeand after-school program, and is located at all Rocklin elementary school campuses.

Sports Page Restaurant and Bar
ecently I was craving something deep-fried, so I paid a visit to Sports Page Restaurant and Bar. Located next to Century Roseville 14, this sports bar is filled with pool tables and flat-screen TVs, with plenty of seating at the bar, booths and high tables. A dome ceiling brings in ample light while brick walls and ceiling fans add to its urban vibe. After eyeing the menu filled with burgers, sandwiches and salads, I settled on the Beer Battered Onion Rings. These freshly made rings were exactly what I had been daydreaming about all afternoon – golden and fried to a crisp on the outside, with 16 stylemg.com - August 2012
a sweet and juicy onion on the inside. Although delectable dipped in ketchup or ranch, the greasy-goodness of the rings was perfect to snack on alone as well. Served on a bed of greens and definitely shareable, they were delicious enough to devour all by myself. As I nibbled, I also enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere. This is a perfect spot to hit after going to the movies, or anytime you’re craving something dangerously good! Sports Page Restaurant and Bar, 1595 Eureka Road, Roseville, 916-865-4274, facebook.com/sportspageroseville. — Paris Ryan

Starting his musical career as a drummer, he soon conquered the piano, and then went on to become a master on the vibraphone. Also known as “vibes,” the vibraphone is a type of percussion instru-
ment that’s played when the musician hits the instrument’s bars with mallets. (Think of a cross between drums and piano.) He was inspired to take it up by another one of his idols – jazz great Lionel Hampton. “I am also a drummer,” Cocuzzi admits, “so my percussion background helps me bring the vibraphone to life.” Cocuzzi is currently enjoying great success from his recently released jazz CD Groove Merchant. It’s getting rave reviews and being played on radio stations around the nation. In addition, he is a featured artist on Jazzdagen Tours’ Jazz Alive 2012 Pacific Holiday Cruise. As well, his talent is available to make any occasion a special one. “My music appeals to everyone, from grandmas to grandkids,” he assures. Cocuzzi knows the younger generation will love swing and jazz – they just need to hear it played live. “Kids don’t know they like it yet,” Cocuzzi says. Along with playing and cruising, he is a great teacher and mentor for many students who want to learn vibraphone and piano. “I was so lucky to have older musicians show me,” Cocuzzi says. “I want to pass on my knowledge to the next generation.”

ot everybody has a personal letter of gratitude from retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, but local entertainer John Cocuzzi does. The August 2008 letter praises Cocuzzi for his part in making a fundraising event an extraordinary evening. O’Connor writes how much jazz means to her, since jazz musicians communicate and listen to each other, which is exactly the skill lawmakers should apply when resolving important public issues. “This letter is something I’m very proud of,” Cocuzzi says. This hip swingster moved across the country to join the Sacramento-area music scene five years ago. “California brought me lots of opportunities,” Cocuzzi explains. A talented musician and vocalist, Cocuzzi plays locally and serves as the talent coordinator and event consultant for the Sacramento Music Festival. Ludwig van Beethoven said, “To play without passion is inexcusable.” And in a performance featuring Cocuzzi, there is no lack of passion. His deep love of music was instilled in him as a youngster. Dad, Frank, was a percussionist for the United States Marine Band, a music teacher and jazz drummer by trade; he exposed his son to music and musicians early. “I got hooked on music as a kid,” Cocuzzi explains. “I just didn’t know it.” Although his background lies in classical music, jazz is what really makes him spark. “Jazz is improvisation; I read music, but not well enough to hurt my playing,” he says. In addition to his dad, another of Cocuzzi’s inspirations is Benny Goodman. One of the legendary band leader’s guitarists, Steve Jordan, even raves about Cocuzzi’s work. “Besides having a marvelous ear for harmony, he has a fire, enthusiasm and speed.”

’ve never been one to parade around the house – or anywhere else – in the buff. But arriving home from work eight months pregnant in triple-digit July heat, I would strip down to nothing, waddle back to our only air conditioned room, and collapse on the couch in all my bare, brazen, bellied glory. Eve, schmeve. I was finally comfortable. This, according to my friend and editor-in-chief at Women’s Health Magazine, Michele Promaulayko, is an excellent start. A few years back she released a book, Look Better Naked. Michele and I shared a NYC apartment for a time, and I assure you I don’t remember a young
working girl who “paraded” around the place naked; nonetheless, sneak a peek at her great tips – good for guys too!
1. SPEND MORE TIME NAKED Time that has nothing to do with sex. Michele suggests having a meal or two, reading a book, listening to music, or spending time after your shower getting things done – without a stitch of clothing. If you spend more time being naked without an audience, you’ll become more comfortable those times when you do have one. Still, let’s face it – you’re going to worry about how you look naked when you have an audience! The rest of the book provides all kinds of diet, exercise and beauty tips that will boost your confidence and actually work.
2. EXERCISE IS KEY According to a University of Florida study published in the Journal of Health Psychology, people who exercised moderately – for health rather than fitness – had better body image; in fact, they felt just as good about their bodies as those who saw more dramatic results and/or were simply more “athletic.” Two great get-buff buffers: yoga and Pilates. Both engage the mind and
enhance body awareness. Both work on perfecting posture (Mom was right, stand up straight and you look better instantly, with or without clothes on). And rather than focus on separate body parts, both provide all-over strength training and toning. Done fast enough, with enough difficulty, you’ll get cardio burn.
3. EAT RIGHT Ingest a diet that makes your hair, skin and eyes glow. Think citrus, nuts/seeds, spices/herbs, garlic and onions, and anything with lycopene. Avoid foods that make you bloat and cause gassiness, including carbonated drinks, sugar-free foods, beans, cruciferous veggies and greasy grub. Avoid sodium and chewing gum. Instead, try foods that fight bloating: peppermint and green teas, ginger, yogurt with probiotics, pineapple and watermelon.
4. PRIMP ALL OVER Not just the parts others see on a dayto-day basis. If body hair bothers you, see a waxing professional. Tanned skin usually looks smoother and “thinner”; try an all-over self-tanner (contour your body the same way pros use makeup to contour your face, using darker and lighter shades to emphasize areas and de-emphasize others). Exfoliate dead skin, treat yourself to a full-body massage and get a pedicure!
look better in the buff 5 Tips to Try by Andrea Todd 24 stylemg.com - August 2012
Wear high heels (they work on a naked body the same way they flatter a body in a LBD, making legs longer, stomach flatter, and the rear high and visible). Skinny-dip. Let your significant other snap a few sexy nudes (though not on their iPhone!). Lastly, the next time you feel compelled to compare yourself with the (near) naked pictures of (Photoshopped) Victoria’s Secret or Calvin Klein models, keep this in mind: they are photos. You are the real thing, and he’s/she’s very much aware of this. Put another way, in a study that posed the question, “What are you thinking when you see a naked woman?” – men think, “Hot damn, there’s a naked woman in my house!”

T
antrums – the dreaded behavior all children demonstrate at one point or another. While the phrase “terrible twos” has been coined and adopted by the parenting community, tantrums can (and do) occur at any age.
TODDLER TO ELEMENTARY YEARS Temper tantrums most commonly occur between ages one and four and vary in severity and frequency based on the child’s temperament, but continue to occur here and there throughout grade school. Each and every day, children are working to master their world. They’ve developed the ability to often know what they want, but don’t necessarily have the know-how to get it, resulting in a great deal of frustration. When this occurs, children turn to one of the only tools they have for expressing their frustration – a tantrum. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, there are several ways to handle tantrums in young children: • Stay calm. • Distract your child. • Give them a time-out, followed by a discussion of why they were put on time-out and how to handle the situation differently in the future. (The general rule of thumb is one minute of timeout for every year of the child’s age. For example, a threeyear-old would receive a three-minute time-out.) • Ignore minor displays of anger. Violence, however, should never be ignored.
the time-out when you said you were going to. Lastly, Cordeiro advises you talk it out. After time-out is over and the child has calmed down, you may hug him/her and tell them you love them. If age appropriate, ask if they understand why they got a time-out (keep it short and sweet). If they say, “I don’t know,” tell them why, encouraging them to use their words next time instead of screaming and yelling.
TWEENS AND TEENS Kicking and screaming may not occur in the teen realm of tantrums, but they can be just as loud and disruptive. “You’ve ruined my life!” followed by a slamming door is often a teen’s version of a tantrum. According to Cordeiro, “Pre-teens and teens tend to have more tantrums than elementary-aged children because in some ways their struggle for independence is very similar to that of the two year old. They want more freedom to do things on their own while parents are often saying, ‘No, you’re not ready yet.’” Frustration can stem from this struggle, leading to meltdowns. Cordeiro admits
parenting a teen can be more complicated than a toddler, but the same principles should be in place: • Remain calm and talk it out. • If you can’t stay calm, give yourself a time-out (time to calm down). • Be consistent. • Allow them safe opportunities to show you they can be independent responsibly, which is part of the growing up process. • Nurture them. Teens still need a lot of nurturing – just in a different way. Find what works for your child and do it often. Cordeiro stresses toddler tantrums and teen meltdowns are developmentally normal. The best advice she offers in both cases is to stay calm and be consistent; advice we can surely follow in other aspects of our lives as well.

According to Folsom-based Marriage and Family Therapist Alicia Cordeiro, being calm and consistent are two essential behaviors parents should exhibit when dealing with tantrums. By showing no emotion and staying calm, you avoid inadvertently feeding into the tantrum. In addition, she says the same consequence should be given for the same behavior every time. Don’t let the child off the hook by giving in or not giving

into the wild Kindred Spirits Fawn Rescue
S
ierra and Hope, two of the injured fawns at Kindred Spirits Fawn Rescue, a non-profit organization in Loomis, circle one another in slow, cautious closeness. One has neurological damage, while the other is too humanized to survive in the wild. Today they are friends, but when the time comes for them to reenter the wild, their companionship will be their best and only chance for survival. Like all of the fawns in residence at Kindred Spirits – one a mere three hours old, others just weeks in this world – Sierra and Hope are cautionary tales of what can happen to injured, orphaned or displaced wildlife. Particularly vulnerable to human interference are deer, a grazing herd species that often fall prey to speeding cars, wrought iron fencing, dog attacks, construction, rifles and related hazards.
No one knows this better than founder and president of Kindred Spirits, Diane Nicholas, who, two years ago, established the organization that she and her husband, Bill, largely fund (with the occasional donation) and seem destined to lead. Her circuitous path to animal rehabber began at UC Davis, where she was a veterinarian hopeful. She then segued into interior design, a career she was enormously successful at for a number of years, directing interiors for big production property builders. But as Nicholas watched land being swallowed up, she worried for area wildlife and, on a volunteer basis, learned the intricacies of animal rehabilitation. “I knew I had to do something to mitigate the displacement of these animals; to do some good, and to try and change the mindset that allows it to happen,”
Nicholas explains. Eventually she channeled her feelings into action, giving up her lucrative design career to take up the mantle for an animal many regard as a nuisance. It’s this perception that, in addition to rescuing, rehabbing and releasing fawns, prompts Nicholas to use Kindred Spirits as a platform to reeducate the public about deer – skilled brush-cutters, which help eliminate undergrowth that serve as tinder for fires while clearing ground for new growth to sprout. As such, she works with both schools and the community, forming partnerships with area ranchers that allow Kindred Spirits to release fawns onto private lands with extensive acreage. Rescue operations run day and night throughout Placer, Yolo and Sacramento Counties. Nicholas works in concert with local vets to rehab an average of 80 fawns per year in accordance with the California Department of Fish and Game regulations. She conducts bottle feedings every two hours, doctors fawns in the field, seeks new treatment methods and cleans and reorganizes facilities, which include a “fawn cottage” and a series of pens arranged to reintroduce fawns to the herd concept, thereby increasing their chances of survival upon release. Through the process of fawn rescue, Nicholas continues to embrace the learning curve, professionally and personally. “I’ve learned to trust your instincts,” she says of the experience. “There’s no limit to what you can do.”

estate planning Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way by LeeAnn Dickson
N
ot to be too much of a downer, but every day we leave our homes with a chance we may not return because of serious injury or death. As 19th-century playwright August Strindberg said, “Death doesn’t bargain.” According to the N ati o n a l H ig hway Traf fic Safety Administration, nearly 33,000 people in the U.S. were killed in auto accidents in 201 0. Another 2 . 2 million were injured and some permanently incapacitated. This means these folks left home and either never returned, or their lives were severely disrupted. And these numbers just reflect traffic accidents. Other tragedies happen, too. What if it happened to you? What would become of your
dependent family members, property and finances? Enter estate planning. In our “sandwich” generation, people of a certain age may be responsible for aging parents’, children’s and grandchildren’s physical and financial well-being. Estate planning is necessary for each of us. Nearly everyone has some person or properties that will need tending to after they no longer can. With an established estate plan, you know your wishes will be carried out. In a 2009 Harris Interactive poll where 1,022 Americans were surveyed, the pollsters discovered that 50 percent had not planned for the distribution of their assets should the inevitable occur. Without an estate plan, your assets go

into probate where the courts handle everything, and depending on the circumstances, it can get very expensive. David Kelly, certified specialist in estate planning, trust and probate law with Burton Law Firm (offices in Sacramento and Roseville), advises, “For families with minor children, it is critically important to nominate guardians.” He stresses that it would be much less stressful for those left behind to seamlessly select a trusted family member or friend instead of having the family deal with possible competing interests in courts and with attorneys. “No matter how much money you have,” Kelly explains, “there are always issues that have to be dealt with, and with an estate plan in place it can be simple, efficient and effective.” Why is it that we’re so hesitant to finalize our plans? Roseville Attorney Lynn Dean says, “Estate planning is not mandatory and most people just procrastinate.” She goes on to explain that many people are uncomfortable thinking about not being here and can’t seem to make those difficult decisions. “Some people need help understanding their options,” Dean explains. “They don’t have a good answer to who will get the kids or how to distribute their assets.” Dean knows it’s best for your family and heirs to leave clear instructions on what you want to have happen after you’re gone. “Timing is everything,” Dean advises. “It’s critical to complete these documents before you reach a point in your life when you can no longer sign them.” She adds that clients have a great sense of relief once they finish the process. If you want to save possible heartaches, headaches and a whole lot of money, make an appointment to meet with a qualified estate planner. Once your plan is in place, you will feel much better.

At every turn, open spaces and environmentally sensitive biomes of extraordinary splendor await. Miles and miles of nature preserves, state parks and 12 miles of beaches elevate the seaside city’s allure. Two dozen threatened and endangered species living in the Morro Bay Estuary and watershed draw outdoor enthusiasts to the region. What about Morro Rock – the “Gibraltar of the Pacific”? Protected as the Morro Rock State Preserve, you can’t climb or hike it, and disturbing the bird life (peregrine falcons are regular visitors) is prohibited.

It’s funky, dog friendly, on the harbor, and within the view-shed of Morro Rock.
Frankie & Lola’s unconventional menu – featuring Fried Green Tomato Benedict and PZP (Potato Zucchini “Pancake”) – is worth the weekend wait. The homemade cinnamon rolls are also seriously delicious. Don’t miss the darling Bayside Café, with marina views and a classic California menu serving up lip-smacking Spicy Green Chili Soup, house-made chips and Boysenberry Crisp. At Stax Wine Bar & Bistro, sip regional and worldwide wines alongside scrumptious small plates like Caprese Martini Salad. Tognazzini’s Dockside Restaurant is the perfect outdoor setting along Morro Bay. Order at the counter – fish and chips, fresh local oysters with all the fixings, onion rings, cold beer – and enjoy live music.

4 Local Vet Superstars by Sharon Penny Vet Superstar Photos by Dante Fontana

V
eterinarius humblius, or “vet superstars” as they are more commonly known, are a hardworking, humble breed. They have no bright plumage, and no loud bark or squawk. This quiet breed goes about their daily business without fanfare – cleaning ears, clipping toenails, treating all manner of illnesses and nobly resisting the urge to run into their crowded waiting rooms and shout, “Hey, you guys! I totally just healed that dog/cat/bird/ iguana!” Aside from considerable skill in their chosen field of expertise, it’s actually their humility that earns them the superstar status for which they are known. They just won’t tell you that they’re superstars themselves. So, we thought we’d tell you on their behalf, and show you what makes this group of veterinarians truly a breed apart.
Dr. Bruce Carstens loves his children. Not just his own two boys, but his furry children as well. “I do consider myself a ‘pediatrician,’ talking to parents about their sick ‘kids,’” Dr. Carstens says. It’s a reflection of the warmth and care he brings to his role as veterinarian, and an indication of what has kept him and his wife, Suzie, serving the Rocklin/Roseville community for the past 15 years at Willow Rock Pet Hospital. In spite of the revolving parade of furry “children” through his door, Dr. Carstens’ job is a lot more people-oriented than you might think. He says, “Most people are surprised to learn that most of my time is spent interacting with people (the parents) about their sick pets (the children). Anyone who wants to be a vet because they hate dealing with people is in for a shock when they realize what a social career it is.” Dr. Carstens’ advice to “parents” is firm when it comes to how best to care for their “children.” Along with spaying or neutering your pets, says Dr. Carstens, “The best advice I can give to owners is just the same as in human medicine: preventative medicine is the best medicine. That means not only routine vaccinations
BRUCE CARSTENS, D.V.M. WILLOW ROCK PET HOSPITAL
and annual exams (since pets age seven times our pace), but also proper dental care and heartworm prevention.” If there’s one takeaway Dr. Carstens has from his 15 years, it’s that pet ownership is all about family. “I have been amazed and pleasantly surprised at the extent to which people consider their pets to be a part of their families. I attribute this to the unquestioning loyalty and unconditional love they display for their family every day.” We have a feeling there is a lot of that going on at Willow Rock Pet Hospital, too.
Q&A Favorite charity: Companion Animal Fund at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine Perfect happiness is: Seeing both my boys become successful adults MOTTO: The best way to get things done is to not care who gets the credit for doing them. Secret passion/obsession/hobby: I was music director for the Rocklin Community Theater at Finn Hall for eight years. I directed the orchestra for more than 30 musicals until I retired last year. I always got a kick out of clients coming to see the shows and saying, “Hey, that’s my vet!”

4 Local Vet Superstars
Dr. Dennis Spann doesn’t carry a magnifying glass or wear a tweed overcoat, but he is part of Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic’s team of crack internal medicine “detectives.” A California native hailing from Salinas, Dr. Spann has been sleuthing and identifying diseases in local pets since 1999. He enjoys the challenge and the variety that his job brings. Dr. Spann works mostly with cats and dogs, but he has crossed paths with a big cat before – a cougar from the Folsom Zoo. “He [the cougar] had decided that he wanted to eat a big portion of rope in his enclosure,” Dr. Spann says, who assisted with the rope extraction. Dr. Spann continues, “That was as close as I’ve ever been to a cougar…and luckily he was in the right state of consciousness, because normally you wouldn’t want to be that close.” Thankfully for Dr. Spann, variety (for the most part) usually means diseases and ailments, rather than the size of the animal. It might surprise you to learn that the range of diseases is similar to human medicine, from diabetes and thyroid issues to autoimmune diseases, cancer and even lupus. According to Dr. Spann,
DENNIS SPANN, D.V.M., DACVIM LOOMIS BASIN VETERINARY CLINIC
Q&A Favorite charity: Amnesty International Perfect happiness is: Barbecuing with my family on a warm summer day Motto: You can do almost anything if you want to and are willing to work hard. Favorite local restaurant: Horseshoe Bar Grill, Mikuni Secret passion/obsession/hobby: I still love wrestling and helping coach my son’s team. I also really like Bikram yoga.
42 stylemg.com - August 2012
sometimes they can borrow from human medicine to identify long, mysterious diseases. “They recently figured out that a disease called degenerative myelopathy, which was a big mystery for a long time and affects shepherds and corgis, is the dog version of Lou Gehrig’s disease.” Dr. Spann has no illusions about what truly makes his job enjoyable. “One of the best things about being a vet is that the people who tend to care about and raise animals tend to be neat people. It’s a real honor to be asked to help them take care of their pets.”
Dr. Karen Indreland is the new face of Companion Veterinary Clinic in Auburn, gaining ownership of the clinic from Dr. An LaBarre in 2010; however, she is far from a newcomer. An Auburn local, Dr. Indreland has been in the area for 25 years and has a connection to Companion Veterinary that goes back 12 years, when she did a summer internship under Dr. LaBarre’s tutelage. Dr. LaBarre still practices one day a week at the clinic, helping Dr. Indreland preserve the qualities of compassion and the desire to offer the best medicine possible. Dr. Indreland‘s journey to becoming a vet was not exactly a straight line. She spent 15 years in the private sector with an engineering firm before considering veterinary study. Despite a lifelong love of horses, she laughed off suggestions of vet school; the idea of graduating at 40 seemed ridiculous. That is, until a friend said, “‘I hate to tell you, darling, but you’re going to be 40 one way or the other. You can either be 40 and be a vet, or be 40 and work behind a desk,’” Dr. Indreland recalls. The rest is history. After graduating in 2003 and working with horses and mixed animal practice, she gravi-
KAREN INDRELAND, D.V.M. COMPANION VETERINARY CLINIC
tated toward small companion animal practice, and her and Dr. LaBarre’s stars aligned. “She wanted to sell to someone that shared a similar philosophy, and I couldn’t have found a better practice to buy,” Dr. Indreland says. “I’m so struck by the love between people and their animals,” Inderland says. “If I weren’t a vet I would be in another helping profession. That was what was missing in my corporate job; there wasn’t that human compassionate aspect to it.” While it’s true that Dr. Indreland traveled a unique path on her journey to become a veterinarian, Companion Veterinary seems to have been her destination all along.
Q&A Favorite charity: AAARF Perfect happiness is: A long horseback ride on the Western States trail, a hot tub soak and a piece of cheesecake Motto: Breathe deeply and appreciate every single experience. Be peaceful. Secret passion/obsession/hobby: My family, my husband, my horses and my cats Favorite LOCAL LANDMARK: The Auburn Courthouse from my window at 6 p.m. in September light is a beautiful view.

Dr. Marilyn Koski’s 20-year career with exotic animals has taken her quite literally around the world (Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Brazil, Australia and the Antarctic). During her time at Ocean Park, Hong Kong (1992-2000) she witnessed the success veterinarians were having with acupuncture. “They were using the same medicine I was, but then they would add acupuncture,” Dr. Koski says. “I thought, ‘I need to learn about this.’ My skepticism turned to interest and motivation to learn more.” Learn more she did. Thanks to Dr. Koski, William R. Pritchard Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine now offers acupuncture treatment for exotic animals, as well as traditional companion animals like dogs and cats. Dr. Koski is aware of the skepticism, and embraces it. “It’s not magic. It’s not spiritual. It is a method of treatment, and not every animal will return to normal function.” But the success stories are gratifying. Dr. Koski tells of a golden retriever facing surgery with a torn leg muscle returning to a full and active lifestyle; an old pet rabbit regaining use of an atrophied hind leg; as well as chemotherapy patients being relieved of nausea and loss of appetite. “I’m routinely surprised by some of the responses, because there’s still a part of

me that questions it. But it shows you how much in the world there is to learn if you keep your mind open,” Dr. Koski says. There’s no better place than the university for a brand of open mindedness like Dr. Koski’s – where students and colleagues alike benefit from the enthusiasm she has for life, learning and teaching. Says Dr. Koski: “It’s so motivating when you see the excitement in a student’s eyes when they do something for the first time. To see that joy brings you back to your moment of discovery. I’m also fortunate to work with so many gifted professionals; I feel like I learn something every day.” Proof that an open mind is perhaps the “gift that keeps on giving.”

Prepared with homegrown tomatoes and care, the olive oil and balsamic reduction was delicious… 50 stylemg.com - August 2012
Rocklin, California… Via Roma on Sunset Boulevard, to be exact. From the minute you enter and are greeted warmly, you know the food is going to be exceptional. A family with young children enjoys spaghetti and meatballs with the requisite “slurping” of the pasta. A middle-aged couple lingers over glasses of wine, deep in conversation. An older couple with a grown daughter eagerly peruses the menu for choices. Two girlfriends chatter happily over salads and pasta. My husband (half Italian and a selfpronounced Italian food expert) and I chose the Caprese Salad for our appetizer. Prepared with homegrown tomatoes and care, the olive oil and balsamic reduction was delicious. As summer continues, heirloom tomatoes will be added to the mix, further enhancing the salad’s flavor.
While one of Via Roma’s most popular pizzas is the Pescatore, featuring fresh shrimp and scallops, I couldn’t pass up the Margherita. Topped with garlic, tomatoes, basil, Parmesan cheese and olive oil, with a lovely thin crust and just the right amount of tomatoes and basil, it didn’t disappoint. The “Italian expert” chose Fettuccine Pollo, a house favorite. House-made ribbon pasta, sautéed crimini mushrooms, garlic, white wine and herbs surrounded sliced chicken in a crème sauce. This huge plate of pasta was enough for two, and the first descriptive phrase that came to mind was “to die for!” With just-enough garlic, strips of chicken instead of chunks, and an accompanying sauce that didn’t drown the dish, this pasta alone will bring us back to Via Roma. Sharing a flawless, traditional Tiramisu – no exotic added ingredients – and a cup of espresso, was a sweet ending to a perfect Italian dining experience. Note: Via Roma is closed Sundays and Mondays.

taste Henrietta’s Spicy Fried Chicken Lard: The Lost Art of Cooking with Your Grandmother’s Secret Ingredient by the Editors of GRIT Magazine (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2012, $24.99) When Memphis-born Henrietta relocated to Lincoln County, Kansas, to be with her husband after the war, she found herself smack-dab in the middle of bland…bland food, that is. So she took her mother-in-law’s fried chicken recipe and gave it some zing to create this spicier version. Serve with your favorite potato salad and coleslaw for the perfect summertime picnic.
• • • • •
1 to 2 tsp. black pepper 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning 1/2 tsp. paprika 1/2 tsp. cayenne 1/4 tsp. dry mustard 1 (2 to 3 pound) frying chicken, cut up into 8 pieces 1/4 cup all-purpose unbleached flour 2 1/4 tsp. garlic salt 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. celery salt Lard, for frying
In a large bowl, combine the black pepper, poultry seasoning, paprika, cayenne and dry mustard. Dredge the chicken pieces in the spices. In a paper or plastic bag, combine the flour, garlic salt, salt and celery salt; shake to mix. Add the chicken, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. Heat the lard to 340 degrees and 2 inches deep in an electric skillet or on medium heat in a large cast-iron skillet. Add the chicken pieces and fry for 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes. Increase the heat to 355 degrees for an electric skillet or medium-high for a regular skillet. Fry for an additional 5 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink at the bone. Remove the chicken from the fat and drain on paper towels. Serves 4 to 6. 52 stylemg.com - August 2012
dinner date Food and Wine for the Season CHÂTEAU DE CAMPUGET ROSÉ 2011 With an unfortunate white Zinfandel stigma, Rosé wines aren’t very popular in California. This amazes me since a good Rosé is perfect for drinking on a hot summer’s day. Château de Campuget Rosé 2011 is a fantastic, incredibly drinkable Rosé from France – perfect to try with friends by the pool this season. The wine has an intense pink color, so it’s nice to look at and drink. One sip and you’ll experience a wonderful balance between acidity and fruit; it boasts a bouquet of raspberries and black currants. The winery behind this Rosé, Château de Campuget, is in Costières de Nîmes, part of the Rhône Valley in the south of France. It’s a beautiful wine property that dates back to 1640! After such longevity, it’s no wonder they know how to make great wine. Search out this wonderful Rosé and buy a bottle or a case to enjoy with your BBQs, get-togethers and picnics this season; at approximately $10 per bottle (retail cost), more Californians are sure to become Rosé drinkers soon! — Richard Righton Owner, Bidwell Street Bistro in Folsom

introducing Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Erik Schmid When my local shop in Folsom, The Brewmeister, began to go downhill a number of years ago, I had to drive across town to get quality brewing ingredients, so I bought the place. Why is your staff the best in the business? We are all experienced brewers, and some of us are winemakers. We understand the progressions our customers may or may not make in their hobby. Who is your role model in business or in life, and why? Jimmy Buffett and Sammy Hagar – they created great lives for themselves and their families by doing what they love and never stop creating new ideas and businesses. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? In Folsom, Samuel Horne’s Tavern on Sutter Street – the beer selection is fantastic. In Roseville, Nubbin’s Drive-In on Washington Boulevard – they have great burgers in a classic drive-in setting. What’s your favorite childhood memory? Living in a world where kids could ride their bikes anywhere and play all day and parents didn’t have to worry. In Cameron Park, we rode our BMX bicycles everywhere. The Brewmeister, LLC What’s your favorite local business other than your own? 1031 Junction Boulevard, Suite 802 Samuel Horne’s in Folsom and Boneshakers Brewery in Rocklin. Five years ago, who would’ve ever Roseville thought that businesses whose sole focus is on ever-changing beer menus (vs. tap consistency) 916-780-7299 would be such a huge hit? I love them because I can try something different every time I’m there. I shopbrewmeister.com wish I would’ve thought of it first! If you could be in any other profession, what would it be? A business coach, which I am considering. I look at the decisions some small business owners make and believe I could really help people make better ones. I really love the nervous energy of start-up operations. And finally, customer service is…? The only way to grow and sustain a successful business.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Fibi & Clo is a home-based business that specializes in unique and beautiful sandals. Within the last six months, Fibi & Clo has grown 10,000 percent via fashion agents holding trunk shows where the hostess receives free shoes. I love bling and I love shoes, so it was the perfect fit! The shoes sell themselves – they are beautiful, comfortable and priced right. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? I enjoy volunteering at my kids’ charter school in Roseville and at our church. I love this business because I meet amazing women who have inspiring stories to share. I never know whom I’m going to meet at my trunk shows and the experiences they’ll have to share. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? I’m very proud of my family. I have the opportunity of being a stay-at-home mom to two boys (7 and 11 years old) and a wife to an amazing husband. Having my own home-based business allows me to work in my kids’ classrooms, help with homework and be available for them. I’m proud to see my boys growing up to be men of character with a strong value system. What’s your hidden talent? Finding bargains. I love to shop with coupons and find great deals. What’s your biggest job perk? Having a flexible schedule and meeting amazing women. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? I love Zakuro Sushi in Lincoln. What’s your favorite local event that you go to? First Fridays at The Fountains. And finally, customer service is…? The key to success! I always want the customer to feel like they’ve been given the best, from service to a quality product. If my customers aren’t happy, I’m not happy. One of the joys I get from business is positive feedback; it makes working worthwhile.
Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? The unique, artistic quality of this jewelry found me and I fell in love. Jewel Kade’s jewelry is vintage yet modern and handcrafted in Alpine, Utah. All pieces are one of a kind, with some of our most popular pieces being custom photo charms and hand-stamped pewter jewelry. Right now there are fewer then 25 stylists within 60 miles of Sacramento, making it a ground-breaking opportunity to join the Jewel Kade team. Our parties are very casual and a great way to escape the craziness of life by catching up with girlfriends and trying on great jewelry. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? Five percent of sales from our JK Cares line go directly to the American Heart Association and to breast cancer research. Additionally, I have personally donated up to 15 percent of my profit from parties to causes close to my hostess’ heart. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? My crazy, funny family. I have three kiddos who amaze me every day and a husband who is always there to laugh with me. What’s your biggest job perk? Of course, wearing the gorgeous jewelry Jewel Kade offers! The flexible work schedule is also huge as it allows me time with my family, while the social aspect of a party allows me to meet amazing women on a regular basis! What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? Big Daddy’s Pizza Co. in Rocklin. What’s your favorite local business other than your own? Green Tangerine is a store I could spend many hours and dollars in! I love crafting and this store is full of unique, high-quality supplies. Also, the ladies who work there are always sweet and helpful! And finally, customer service is…? A number one priority. Happy customers are repeat customers!

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Strikes Unlimited is a premier bowling venue, offering entertainment for all ages, bowling, dancing, live music and karaoke; it’s also a great place to hold a party. Our venue delivers the best entertainment experience in the area. After spending 22 years in the title and escrow industry, I was ready for a change that would be fun and exciting. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? I started Angels in the Alley, a non-profit foundation that supports local charities by hosting fundraisers throughout the year. We are also members of the Rocklin and Roseville Chambers of Commerce. We support local schools, churches and more by donating to and sponsoring events. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? Being a mom for the past nine years, while maintaining a very demanding and successful career in management. Who is your role model in business or in life, and why? My father – he’s honest, full of integrity, and has worked hard his entire life to provide for his family. Where do you go when the going gets tough? I spend time with my family, particularly my nine-year-old daughter; she is a reminder of how to live, laugh, love and not “sweat the small stuff.” What’s your biggest job perk? Meeting new people, building relationships and being a part of a business that brings enjoyment to families in our community. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? Halftime Bar & Grill. And finally, customer service is…? My number one priority. Customer service is crucial to our success for both attracting and maintaining loyal customers. Do you know that our editorial is not paid for, nor can it be purchased? In fact, our Introducing and Dine reviews are not paid advertisements. If you’d like your business profiled, please email Wendy Sipple at wendy@stylemg.com. Once we determine when your business will be featured, we will contact you to schedule a time to come out and take a photograph. Thank you!

love, loss and lessons 30 Years of Reflection by Tom Mailey
66 stylemg.com - August 2012
with 30 years to try and improve myself as a person, which is good, because I’m a slow learner. (In fact, I wonder if Home Depot would consider opening a chain of self-improvement stores? But I digress.) I look back on how much I didn’t know and shake my head. Although, to be fair, in 30 years I’ll probably look back on this part of my life and shake my head. Which makes me realize: My future self is kind of a smug, patronizing jerk. There were a lot of land mines to be stepped over the past three decades, a lot of lessons that could only be learned the hard way. Through those years, ignorance wasn’t just bliss, it was my
personal concierge. If not, I would’ve understood that 24-percent interest on my first credit card did not mean that Visa only took a 24-percent interest in whether or not I made my payments on time. Plus, I would’ve realized that no matter how white my spor t jacket or how c aref ully cultivated my five o’clock shadow was, I still would never remotely resemble either Crockett or Tubbs. Thankfully, I did do some things right. I finished college. I married someone smarter than me. I saw Van Halen before Sammy Hagar came along. I wasn’t a complete dolt. But as fun and indispensable as the last 30 years were to the life I have today, I wouldn’t trade one single second of now for anything back then. And that includes ground-floor stock in Starbucks. So, you see? I still have plenty to learn. In fact, probably the biggest lesson I’ve learned is that life is nothing but lessons. Even though you graduate, school never really ends.

M
y high school reunion is this month. I don’t want to say how many years, but it’s somewhere between 29 and 31. I don’t feel like an old guy, and when my buddies and I get together I don’t think we l o o k li ke th e cast from a Flomax commercial just yet. But I’m not gonna lie – it feels a little weird . Yet at the same time, it f e e l s k i n d of normal. It feels right. I don’t want to be the guy who tries vainly to cling to a youth no longer there. We’ve all seen what that’s done to Bruce Jenner. Heck, I’m just the opposite: I’m grateful for the inexorable passage of time. It beats the alternative. I don’t look at the last 30 years and pine for days gone by. Seriously, can anyone legitimately long for acidwashed jeans or wine coolers? The only thing I genuinely miss from my youth is my jump shot. As for the rest of it? Are you kidding me? Forget for a moment the amazing world events we’ve witnessed the past three decades, like the fall of the Berlin Wall, phones that do everything but cook dinner, and that weird Austrian bodybuilder dude from Conan the Barbarian getting elected the actual governor of an actual state.
