BY ANDREW WESTROPE

ranite Bay chef Sovy Medved has


cornered a market most people
dont even know about.
The Cambodian immigrant, entrepreneur, cancer survivor and French-trained
chef is no stranger to finding her own way,
and with Pullman Kitchen & Catering,
shes done just that. Medved has brought
her diverse background of experience to
bear on a unique kitchen and catering
business she calls Cuisine for Fitness, a
one-woman show in which she personally prepares healthy, fresh, high-end food
for people who dont have the time or
ability to make it themselves.
But there are no menus at Meveds Pullman Kitchen, and no restaurant in which
to order.

continued from page 6


Having studied international cuisine under world-class
chefs at the California Culinary
Academy in San Francisco
more than 20 years ago, Medved learned more of the trade
in various top restaurants in the
Bay Area, then went on to teach
cooking classes in Cupertino
and Palo Alto. Eventually she
relocated to the Sacramento region with a mind to start her own
business. When local developer
Lisa Powers offered her the keys
to Pullman Kitchen in Granite
Bay, she jumped at the chance
and made it her own.
Medved compares her business model to that of a personal chef, albeit one with several clients and the freedom to
surprise. Rather than go to a
restaurant and pick items
from a menu,

her customers contact her by phone or in


person, then fill out a survey to identify
foods they dont like things for Medved to avoid. Then they choose a monthly
meal plan: daily breakfast, lunch, dinner
or all three, to be provided six days a week,
every week for that month.
Medved then goes shopping at farmers markets and specialty outlets, returns to the kitchen with fresh, often seasonal ingredients, and prepares healthy
meals according to each customers plan.
She does this on a prearranged schedule
so her customers can pick up the meals
working solo precludes the possibility
of delivery as soon as theyre ready and
sealed in freezable, microwaveable containers. Customers pick up three days
worth of food at a time, twice a week,
meaning eight pick-ups per month.
Her catering service is a similar enterprise, with ingredient parameters and a
per-person budget.
Medved says her customers are professional families with two working parents,
retired couples who dont want to cook
but want good food, or just about anyone
who wants more quality, healthy meals
than theyd otherwise have time for.
Granite Bay resident Bud Lee, a
70-year-old disabled veteran with kidney
disease and several health needs, says
Medved has been preparing six dinners a
week for him for years and made a substantial impact on the maintenance
of his health. At an average cost of $15
per meal and with no shopping, prep or
cleanup, he gets a nutritious balance of
all types of vegetables and protein.

She saves me time to do other things I like to do while I know


my particular dietary needs are being met, he says. My kids
and physician are very happy I found Sovy.
One of Medveds regular event-catering customers, Sandra
Lessard of Westpark Communities in Roseville, extols the chefs
services at her annual holiday party.
She is wonderful. I really enjoy working with her. Shes on budget, the food is delicious and special, so its great for a party. (Sovy)
is very responsive and kind. Shes a very happy personality, so I
really enjoy reaching out to her, Lessard says. It makes my party
exciting, because I have a fun caterer, and I know that shes going
to get it done. I dont have to stress because I know that Im in
good hands.
What Medved comes up with is always something of a surprise, but Lessard has nothing but good things to say about it.
We have the food set out on the table so everyone can see it,
and they come to me and say, Oh my gosh, this looks so good,
whos your caterer? Lessard says. And then over the next week
I get calls from guests thanking us for inviting them they say
they loved the party and the food was so delicious.
For Medved, running the operation herself can be a challenge,
but shes not shy of those in fact she just took up a new one,
starting a YouTube channel of cooking videos, CuisineForFitness. In person shes an ebullient presence, and with customers affection keeping her inspired, theres nowhere shed rather
be than working in the kitchen.
(Customers) text me to thank me What was that shrimp
dish I had last night? It was sooo good! When people tell me
how much they enjoy the food, (it) makes me feel so good, she
says. Working in the kitchen is Chinese wages you have to
love to do it.

10 TIPS
BY NOELLE KONRAD

to get glamorous
for the holidays

urray for the holidays and the many joys it brings. These
winter days are filled with cozy nights curled up under
blankets and numerous nights out with family and friends.
Either way, beauty is always on the mind for us ladies. The look this
holiday season is effortless: Look angelic and dewy with minimal
effort. Thanks to Atrium Salon Spa who shared some secrets, here
are a few trends to keep up during the Christmas craze.

2.

LASH EXTENSIONS.

Lash extensions are the


newest form of low-maintenance
beauty. However, they do take
several hours to apply, but the
results are undeniably effortless.
Enjoy incredible full lashes
daily and immediately upon
awakening. Throw out the
mascara ladies. Why deal with
the hassle of application and
smudges?

10

3.

1.

CHOOSE A DARK SINGLE COLORED NAIL.

By choosing a dark nail color such as a deep


wine or elegant burgundy, it will guarantee a nail that
coordinates with every outfit. Rich colors compliment
any fabric pairing including tans, grays, black, browns,
and more making it the simplest choice for any occasion.
Top with a glossy protective coat or a bold matte finish
and your nails are ready to celebrate.

INVEST IN A
MOISTURIZER.

This one is probably the most


important. The colder the days,
the dryer the skin and it can
become an incredible nuisance.
Seek out a decent moisturizer,
one for hands, body and face.
You will be thanking yourself
later when everyone else has
cracked knuckles, but your skin
is all a glow.

4.

KEEP IT NATURAL.

Unless bright and vibrant


colors are your go-to choice,
the best thing to do this holiday
season is to keep the look
natural. When choosing a hair
color ask your hairdresser for
examples on the right colors
for your skin tone and stick to
a natural pallet of warm or cool
colors.

11/18/16 3:59 PM

5.

BRONDE. This is latest in


hair color frenzies. Bronde
is the perfect blend of brown and
blonde that gives a seemingly
uncomplicated look. Why choose
between the two when you can
have both?

6.

BALAYAGE. Soft, soft, soft!

Lucky for those who do


not frequent the salon every two
weeks, the balayage style is still
prevalent in the beauty world. That
means when roots start coming in,
it doesnt have to be paired with a
plethora of hats. Let your gorgeous
locks grow and incorporate some
color to keep it fresh.

PHOTO BY NOELLE KONRAD

8.

CUSTOMIZABLE SPRAY TANS. We all know that

wintery days make our summer bronze disappear


and the days at the beach are simply nonexistent.
Atrium Salon Spa offers customizable spray tans that
will perfectly compliment any skin tone without the
embarrassing orange drip lines. Say goodbye to machines
too. Atrium hand applies the spray tan in order to insure
the best quality tan and leave you with the after-vacation
glow we all wish was year round.

10.

BOLD BROWS. Our last tip is the bold brow.

These beauties are making a comeback and


thank goodness because overly tweezing is painful. Talk
to your esthetician about the right products to make
your brows a statement.

7.

BLOW IT OUT. Gone are


the days of intensely
intricate up dos for simple social
gatherings. Allow your locks
to flow freely with a blow out
service at the salon and walk into
any function with billowing hair
that gives the impression that
you merely brushed it.

COURTESY

9.

BRAID IT BIG. If doing a

blow out isnt the look


of choice there is also always
the braid. Regardless of the
length of hair, any braid will do.
Sweep them dramatically across
the shoulders in a side braid or
delicately crown across the top.
No hot tools needed.

HEA LTH

Length
before
Strength
BY RACHEL ZIRIN

Granite Bay chiropractor


Dr. Chris Cedars released an
ebook in August that almost
anyone could use in their life
how to stretch.

Cedars became intrigued by the world of


chiropractic when he was an EMT basic as a
whitewater rafting guide doing multi-day trips.
On one of the trips he met the president of
the Palmer College of Chiropractic
and got to pick his brain.
PHOTO BY RACHEL ZIRIN

utside his main practice, Back to


Health Chiropractic, Cedars wanted to give his patients something
to help with their healing process. The
32-year-old doctor focuses on the lower
back and pelvis in his first book, Length
before Strength.
He became intrigued by the world of
chiropractic a couple years ago when
he was an EMT basic and a whitewater
rafting guide doing multi-day trips. On
one of the trips he met the president of
the Palmer College of Chiropractic, the
founding college of the treatment which
is based in Iowa.
I picked his brain about chiropractic,
he said. I knew what they did because
I had scoliosis growing up, but I didnt
know what they thought.

14

Through the multi-day rafting trip, Cedars got to learn the philosophy of chiropractors and it really resonated with him.
I knew I wanted to be a part of the healing process with individuals and didnt
want to go further into being a paramedic, he said. I wanted to see how I could
help people with just my hands.
Thereafter, Cedars went to Sivananda
Ashram Yoga Farm in Grass Valley to talk
with a chiropractor and became more inspired, so he applied. He finished his education with a bachelors degree in medical anthropology and attended Palmer
College of Chiropractic.
Since beginning his practice at Back to
Health Chiropractic, Cedars has found
Granite Bay to be a very health-conscious
community.

I think they are on their way to incorporating that wellness paradigm that
were kind of leaders at, he said. We talk
about conditioning the body, nutrition,
spinal and nervous-system health, brain
health and educating people on the truth
about your spine and nervous system.
I feel it resonates with a lot of people in
Granite Bay.
Cedars also said he thinks people need
to stretch more.
Our society is not in tune with a regimented routine. Even five minutes of
stretching a day is hard, he said. As long
as you maintain length, all those nerves
have more room to play.
For example, if you have a car accident
injury such as whiplash, you dont want
to baby it. The body will start to lay down

scar tissue, which will be the first to tear


later on, when stressed.
If you demand motion on the joints
and the body, your body lays down elastic tissue, which is the healthy tissue,
Cedars said. This is really why I stress to
see a chiropractor if you have been in an
accident.
Cedars wants to teach people about
wellness, initiate motion and put stress
on things that help them heal better. He
specializes in family care and making sure
every member is checked, he said.
We see a lot of kids and we really make
it one of our highest priorities to check
each member of the family, Cedars said.
I check their spine for subluxation (partial dislocation), because we want to create a record for the early detection of sub-

luxations so these kids can grow up and


thrive. We want them to grow optimally
and not wait for something to break and
then seek out a doctor.
The most common reason people come
to Cedars is fatigue, he said.
People also come in because of back
pain, he said. The idea is the pain portion, or sensory portion, is only 10 percent of your nervous system. The other 90

percent deals with autonomic and motor


control. You can have pressure on a nerve
that is really affecting the digestive and
breathing portions, and you dont even
feel what is really going on.
Cedars said that even though you may
feel well, that doesnt mean you are functioning well.
Almost every one of my patients would
ask, What can I do at home? he said. So
I wanted to give this book to my patients
and tell them to try numbers one through
five, for example.
The book also includes a personal biography of Cedars, how to use ice and
heat, and what the nature of disk bugle
is, he said.
I have a real affection for the mindbody connection. It isnt only about getting adjusted, but to teach your mind and
muscles, and how they interfere with your
health trajectory, he said.
He even adjusts animals.
I went to further schooling at Options
for Animals, he said. I am involved with
Bayside Animal Hospital and I adjust for
agility in dogs. I adjust horses as well.
Just like humans, anything with a nervous system and a spine benefits from
adjusting, Cedars said. You dont even
have to be in pain.
Length before Strength is available in
Kindle-version only on Amazon.com for
$2.99.
I wanted people to have easy access to
this, so I did Kindle, Cedars said. There
is a market for people learning how to
stretch. I would like to come out with a
second edition for the shoulders, neck
and upper extremities as well as breathing
exercises.

RELIG ION

A visit from

the Consul General


BY ANDREW WESTROPE

embers of South Placers Jewish


community are the first to admit
theyre not the areas most visible
group theyre somewhat few in number, their functions are often intimate
and their local cultural center, Chabad
of Placer County, is tucked away from
an open stretch of Douglas Boulevard in
Granite Bay.
But theyre active, growing and building
partnerships, and what they bring to the
community might be surprising to some.
In other words, Israel is represented here.
On Nov. 10 they brought the Consul
General of Israel, Dr. Andy David, to the
Chabad House to talk about the countrys recent scientific contributions to the
world. The question-and-answer session
that followed was candid and far-ranging, as audience members probed David
about everything from UNESCO to Donald Trumps election to airport security
and tourism.

of Israel

Leading into the keynote speaker,


Rocklin resident Cathy Curtz shared the
story of her father, Dewey Compton, a
Texan radio and TV broadcaster who
improved American-Israeli relations in
the 1970s through sharing agricultural
innovations. She said Compton looked
to Israel farms for their efficiency, and
subsequently brought the concepts of
hydroponics and drip irrigation before
congress, hoping they could help feed
the world.
Curtz dedicated a historic plow, utilized
by Israeli farmers until it was replaced
in the 1970s by American tractors, to the
Chabad House in memory of her father.
Following Curtz was Brooks Ohlson, an
Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Bulgaria, who had seen Israels agricultural ingenuity firsthand and called it
a world leader in the efficient use of water and smart agriculture for its hydroponics and greenhouses. He also noted

what these advances have done for agriculture in other arid climates, like the
Sacramento region, which has become
integral to Americas trade economy with
the Middle East.
Sacramentos international export activity grew $1 billion. How did that happen? Its the food and agriculture industry that nobody thinks about in our rural
communities just outside of the urban
belt, Ohlson said. Its rice, wild rice, value-added commodities, wine, even beef
cattle, prunes, alfalfa. They sell containers
of alfalfa to the Middle East.
When David took the podium, he described a series of Israeli innovations in
the fields of technology, agriculture, medicine and security. Explaining how these
inventions came about in a land with so
few natural resources, he paraphrased the
countrys late, former president Shimon
Peres: When you dont have anything,
you have to create it.

David enumerated several inventions:


technology for self-driving cars being developed by Saips, an Israeli company that
had been working with Tesla before Ford
acquired it in August, with the promise of
self-driving cars by 2020. BMW is working
with Saips to promise the same by 2021.
Another Israeli company, Otto, was acquired in August by Uber for $680 million
to install hardware in existing trucks to
make them self-driving.
Several breakthroughs in medical research, including a drug that could lead
to a cure for HIV and a treatment that
stops metastasized breast cancer cells
from spreading.
Desalination technology that gave one
of the driest nations on Earth an abundance of fresh water and has now been
installed in San Diego and San Francisco,
producing up to 15 percent of the latter
citys fresh water.
A new anti-tank missile defense system,
following Israels Iron Dome technology
to shoot down rockets with other rockets.
The Q&A that followed covered more
contemporary topics. David expressed
concern, for example, that the United
Nations is neither neutral nor capable of
settling the countrys disagreement with
Palestine, though it may try to set up parameters for a future peace agreement
involving Israels borders, water, refugees
and the state of Jerusalem.
On the subject of President-elect Donald Trump, David said nothing decisive.
Theres a possibility that the President
may make a statement just a statement
that will create some kind of atmosphere that will not be favorable to us, he
said. We dont know. We dont get those
indications from the White House, to be
honest. Were not hearing from our mission to the UN that the American mission
to the UN is trying anything like that. We
dont know.
David went on to say, however, that the

... Every administration is


becoming more pro-Israel than
the one before because when
people come to the Oval Office,
they start reading materials that
are not open to the rest of the public,
and they realize whats happening
in the Middle East.

Dr. Andy David, Consul General of Israel

past several presidential administrations


have been successive improvements for
American-Israeli relations, and that the
apparent coldness or personal tension between President Obama and Israels Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not reflect the reality of policy and negotiations.
We worked very well with (Obamas)
administration, I have to say. When it
comes to defense, when it comes to intelligence, when it comes to counter-terrorism, when it comes to the MOU that we
signed, its never been better. Not even
Bush, not even Bill Clinton, he said. But
every administration is becoming more
pro-Israel than the one before because
when people come to the Oval Office, they
start reading materials that are not open
to the rest of the public, and they realize
whats happening in the Middle East.
David also said that hes seen the rela-

tionship between Israel and more progressive Arab states like the UAE improve,
behind closed doors if not in public, because they see Israel as an asset for learning and innovation and a counterpoint
to Iran, which they fear. On the subject
of airport security, he said the difference
between Americas and Israels approach
is that the latter uses psychological profiling, which America avoids because its
confused with racial profiling. But more
and more Israel has needed to scrutinize
who enters and leaves its borders, he said,
because as the nation became more technologically advanced since the 1970s, it
became more privatized, and then a job
center, and then a draw for immigrants.
The Press Tribune asked David what
sort of conversations people should be
having about Israel here, at the community level. After conveying frustration with
some anti-Israel rhetoric he hears in Bay
Area college campuses, he suggested travel instead. He pointed out that United Airlines opened a new direct flight in March
from SFO to Israel that got bumped in October to a daily flight due to demand.
When it comes to Israel, the gap between the image (people have) and the
reality is so big, he said. You dont have
to sell Israel. Ninety-nine out of 100 people who go there say, Now I need to bring
my family.

Fun Facts About


Folsom Ice Rink
The ice rink is constructed and
owned by Brian Jacksons Studio 33
The rink is 7,400 square feet in a
circle
The rink uses eight miles of tubing
filled with 2,500 gallons of propylene
glycol
The rink uses a 125-ton chiller
When the plaza was developed,
piping was installed underground
that connects to the chiller
The ice is between four and six
inches thick
The Zamboni can be held on four
inches of ice

he leaves are off the bough, theres a nip in the air, and storefronts everywhere are
bedecked with holiday finery. Winter has returned to Granite Bay, and for those who
want a memorable date venue, a place to drop off the kids for an afternoon, or a
means of exercise outside the gym, one of the seasons favorite hobbies ice skating
is a short drive away.

The temperature of ice rink is


between 14 and 22 degrees
Fahrenheit
The rink takes up to three weeks to
construct
The rink originally opened with the
Chamber in 2008

Skatetown
One of the areas oldest ice rinks, Skatetown Ice Arena in Roseville is entering
its 19th season, and its fourth with an
outdoor rink. Its two NHL-sized indoor
surfaces are open year round.
The 4,500-square-foot outdoor rink
opened Nov. 20 for a season that ends
Jan. 16, during which Skatetown anticipates more than 40,000 visitors possibly more since the Roseville Galleria
has chosen not to open its own outdoor
rink this year.
Skatetowns, however, has become an
annual attraction for both its novelty and
its presentation, with decorations and
twinkling lights choreographed to seasonal music. According to information
provided by Skatetown, the outdoor rink
is for recreational skating only, not sport,
and its a labor-intensive project; construction began Oct. 31, as workers installed special coils connected to a giant
refrigeration unit that was used to freeze
gallons upon gallons of water as they were

The rink is made in multiple layers to


freeze quickly

sprayed onto said coils, producing, one


layer at a time, a 2-inch sheet of flat ice.
Skatetown spokeswoman Susan Sweetser said the outdoor rink opened in 2012.
We had space for it. I think the owner
was looking for something special to do
during the holidays, she said. Its been a
huge success, and people really enjoy it.
Sweetser added that the facility accommodates any and all experience levels, with introductory skating lessons,
free skating aides for beginners, staff to
help fit and tie skates, loaner helmets,
double-bladed skates for kids, free parking, restrooms and a full-service caf.
Skatetown also holds theme nights
once a month February will have Western Night, March will feature Star Wars,
April pirates and Winter Wonderland
was Dec. 2, replete with music videos, laser
light shows, a DJ and lots of holiday music.
When all three rinks are open, guests
can skate inside, outside or both.

The rink has been around the


turntable for the last five years
The rink has over 700 pairs of ice
skates for rent
There are eight sound kiosks with
lights and snow machines
These snow machines were used in
the movie The Grinch
These kiosks won two awards last
year for sound design

Folsom
While it doesnt snow in Folsom, it will
this year at the Folsom Historic District
ice rink.
Originally built in Folsom in 2008, the
ice rink has been a place for all ages to
skate and enjoy festive holiday music
with friends and family.
This year the ice rink had a soft opening Nov. 4 and will be open seven days a
week, said Judy Collinsworth, manager of
the Folsom Historic District Association.
It will be a soft opening because it depends on the quality of the ice, she said,
prior to the event.
The official opening celebration was
Nov. 11, Veterans Day, on which visitors
were invited to dress in red, white and blue
colors to honor members of the military.
Each week the ice rink welcomes more
than 1,500 guests for the price of $10 per
kid and $12 per adult. There is an additional $3 fee to rent skates, Collinsworth said.
For holiday parties or birthdays, this
year the rink will have a party tent.
The tent will overlook the ice rink,
she said. You can either have a small
group or up to 50 to 60 people. It is very
affordable. It is $100 for two-and-onehalf hours.
The rink will have skating sessions that
begin at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m., 4 p.m., 6 p.m.
and 8 p.m.
People can look forward to a skating
with a festive feeling, Collinsworth said.
The Christmas tree will be in the center of the rink this year and there will be
snow that happens intermittently on the
rink, she said. There will also be a lot of
fun lighting and holiday music.
Folsom Ice Rink will be open until Monday, Jan. 16, 2017.

a vision to

22

hen Ali Futrell was 18 months


old, she went with her mother
Sidney to a craft show.
While Sidney, an artist and craftswoman, sold her wares, Ali sat in a high directors chair. A customer approached Sidney, worried. Ali had a paper and pen.
The customer told Sidney she feared
young Ali would put the pen in her mouth.
Oh no, Sidney replied: Ali loved papers
and pens, anything she could draw with.
And sitting in the directors chair, there
was 18-month-old Ali, drawing away.
Looking back, I think, Oh, my gosh,
Sidney said. It was back then (even) that
she loved to just have a piece of paper and
a pen.
Some things never change.
The former toddler illustrator and
Granite Bay native, now a 21-year-old
student at San Francisco Art Institute,
just wrapped a one-woman show at the

Blue Line Arts Gallery in Roseville as part


of its Artist on the Rise series. Futrell
won the show out of 30 applicants.
Theres just something about her work
that was really strong, and her vision
came through, said Katie Curler, Blue
Line Arts education manager. We had to
give her the opportunity to show off her
entire collection here.
Futrell, who attended Granite Bay High
School her junior and senior years to participate in its arts program, contributed
a room at the Blue Line gallery full of
pieces, a mix of surrealistic and photolike paintings that evoke Lady Gaga and
Frida Kahlo.
I think this all has come out from celebrating this life we live and not taking
things so seriously, Futrell said.
Futrells approach as an artist is to create elaborate sets, have friends take pictures of her in the sets, and paint based on

the photos. Her dad, a homebuilder, creates sprawling canvasses for her.
I think once I start setting up the scene,
its kind of intuitive, Futrell said.
She isnt afraid to invest a little to get
that scene, both in terms of time and
money. One painting of Futrell shows her
crawling on a banquet table holding a
bottle of champagne and a wedding cake.
Futrell spent $100 custom-ordering a cake
and purchasing glasses and streamers.
She has an artists attention to detail as
well, with her mother recounting what
Futrell told her after a recent trip to the
morgue for an anatomy drawing class.
Futrell told her mom, You have to
learn, in order to draw a figure, whats under the skin and why the skin lays the way
it lays. It lays the way it lays because there
are bones, and muscles and tissue under
there, and tendons. You have to know all
of that in order to draw that figure.

I think this all has come out from


celebrating this life we live and
not taking things so seriously.

Ali Futrell, artist

Her passion requires sacrifice. Unlike


many college students, Futrell said she
leads an almost monk-like existence at
art school, where if a student is up late
into the night, Sidney noted, its because
theyre immersed in a project.
I feel like my life is only art, Futrell said.
The work seems to be paying off. Like
her late grandfather Larry Welden, a wellknown local artist and Sacramento City
College professor, Futrell looks poised to
go further with her art after she completes
her studies.
Futrells mother recounted that shes
had her own business doing Henna designs for six years. Futrells also already
done murals for a number of clients in
the region, including one at Granite Bays
Soccer Rhythm on Auburn Folsom Road,
one at a Granite Bay home and another at
a 7-Eleven on Watt Avenue in Sacramento.
I could see immediately that she got
the talent gene that descends in her family, said Katy Schardt, a longtime neighbor and family friend who helped arrange
for Futrell to do the 7-Eleven mural.
Sidney had long told Ali that art was
something she could fall back on that,
that it made more sense for her to teach or

clients, including

write. But as shes begun to accumulate


more mural work and refine her craft,
something greater has begun to seem
possible for Futrell.
Now I kind of think, Oh my gosh. She
just might go into flat art, Sidney said.
Futrell said shes open to teaching
and that all ages are fun to teach at this
point. Her dream job, she said, is to paint
a mural on a 7-Eleven in Thailand.
If only that 18-month-old knew what
lay in store.

Catching up with:

Richard Preston

Overseeing park operations at Folsom, Natoma


veteran federal and state ranger,
Richard Preston now oversees operations at Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, part of the state parks system. Its a busy assignment, with activities
in the area ranging from bass fishing to
competitive rowing and, when reservoir
levels are high enough, water-skiing.
Preston is a native of Southern California and a graduate of Humboldt State
University. He has been with the state
parks department for 16 years.
Here are takeaways from a recent interview with editors Rich Hanner and Andrew
Westrope of the Granite Bay View:

On something many people


dont know about Folsom.
On weekends, there are many public
and private events held, ranging from
birthday parties to wedding receptions
and many cultural events, including a
Persian New Years celebration. Recreational events include runs, swims, and
collegiate rowing championships. We
host hundreds of events every year, and
the number is growing, he said.
How the drought
affected operations?
With water levels so low at Folsom
Lake during the drought, many activities shifted to Lake Natoma, where the
water level remains relatively constant
throughout the year. We saw sizable
usage increases at Lake Natoma and
Nimbus Flat. The water is colder in
Lake Natoma, but we saw more swimmers there, too, he said.

24

On the horizon.
Electric bicycles are not currently allowed on the bike trails within the
recreation area, but the department is
developing policies for their use. Also,
the Bureau of Reclamation is doing geotechnical studies as part of a plan to
raise the dykes and Folsom dam itself.
That will be a very substantial project
that would probably be completed in
2020, he said.

Five facts on Folsom


Dam completion: 1956
Depth at the dam face: 300
Maximum lake size: 11,930 acres
July surface temperature: 79.9F
December surface temperature: 53F

When he has a chance


to get out and about.
Preston enjoys spending time with his
family, hiking on the coast, especially
around Bodega Bay, and sportfishing
in Mexico.
The best part of his job.
That would be helping with
changes that wind
up being a real
benefit to the
public, he said.
Under review are
improvements to the
beach area at Negro Bar and
upgrades at Granite Bay he
hopes will enhance the publics
enjoyment of those locations.

BY WILL ROBERTS

f you do a little digging, youll find


many lawyers who have crossed over
from the legal business into other creative fields. Many have worked as authors, writers, actors and painters. Some
of those cross-over artists include the infamous and raucous talk show host Jerry
Springer, renowned author John Grisham and the much-revered Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi.
But in discussions about retaining an
attorney, its much less likely that musician will come up unless you happen to
be an aspiring musical artist in need of
an entertainment attorney to draft your
next contract. Its even less common to
find that your local estate-planning attorney the one who draws up your
Last Will and Testament travels the
greater Sacramento area on weekends

mesmerizing audiences with her vocal


talents. But then Cynthia Brown, Esquire
also known as Cynthia Renee, musician is probably not your typical attorney. Brown has been balancing her legal
career and passion for music for years.
Through her primary office in Folsom,
Brown has been assisting estate clients
across Sacramento and El Dorado counties with family trusts, wills and guardianships for nearly 15 years, and has
carved out a niche for herself by combining her knowledge and experience with
a unique way of connecting with clients.
Practicing law these days is all about
connecting with your client and forming
a relationship with them. Gone are the
days of stuffy suits and statutes quoted
from 20-pound code books, she said.
In this era where information about a

Ive always wanted to be there


for people during difficult times.
Watching people experience health
issues and debilitation as they age
is difficult for anyone.

Cynthia Brown, lawyer and musician

legal topic can be found by anyone in


an instant via the World Wide Web, what
has become more important than ones
knowledge and experience is simply the
ability to relate to your client on the clients level. Clients need to feel heard and
understood, so being a great listener and
communicator is crucial.
Over the years, Brown has worked with
more than 2,000 clients to help them
get their final affairs in order and assist
families with the administration process
when someone passes. She has also been
influential in educating the community,
co-hosting a radio talk show called Law
Talk for several years on various local
stations in the greater Sacramento area.
In addition to discussions on wills and
trusts, Law Talk has addressed a garden
variety of legal questions posed by everyday members of the general public.
During her years in practice, Brown has
watched the legal climate change along
with technology and client sophistication. There has also been a surge of new
attorneys over the past decade. The legal world has changed significantly from
when I began practicing law 15 years
ago. At the start of the new millennium,
most law-school graduates already had
a job lined up with a firm they had been
clerking with while in school, she said.
Today, jobs are few and far between for
attorneys starting out. New law-school
graduates must be able to demonstrate
that they possess talents and skills which
go well beyond any legal training. Knowledge of computers and social media are
obviously a plus, but what firms really
want to see is, What can this attorney
bring to us that we dont already have?
Prior to Browns law school days, her
undergraduate focus was primarily on
psychology and music. She never even
took a pre-law undergraduate course.
My goal initially was to go into psy-

chology and continue on in music, she


said.
It wasnt until a few years after college
that Brown really felt drawn to study law.
She worked at a probate auction house in
Sacramento for several years, and this allowed her to gain firsthand knowledge of
the complexity of the California probate
process and how confusing and difficult
the experience could be for family members of a lost loved one. This experience,
among others, developed in Brown a
deep compassion for people experiencing loss. But working at a probate auction
house wasnt the only thing that gave her
compassion for families experiencing
the agony of estate administration. Music played a big part, too.
Music has always been woven in and
out of my history, Brown said.
Brown grew up singing in her grandfathers church, and from there she developed a ministry of singing at local
assisted-living communities and skilled
nursing facilities.
Ive always wanted to be there for
people during difficult times. Watching
people experience health issues and debilitation as they age is difficult for anyone, she said.
Brown has found it a blessing to be
able to bring some comfort to people in

the midst of difficult times by offering


songs about love and kindness.
Many times I just listen, because
thats really what they want the most, is
someone to listen to their story, she reflected. Many times patients could not
leave their beds, so I would find myself
walking from room to room and singing
for each patient individually.
For several years Brown also helped
conduct Sunday services at the Folsom
Convalescent Hospital.

I really feel like I relate to seniors well. The people I met while
conducting Sunday services had an
amazing history some were doctors or nurses during World War II,
some were business professionals
and some even pastors, she recalled. I learned so much from that
experience. Our world is so fastpaced, people today find it so difficult to just sit and listen when that
is what we all need so badly, is to
just be heard. Even when
it comes to my legal practice, every client wants to
be heard and understood.
Each person comes to me
with a unique background and circumstances, which creates a very personal
set of desires and
goals when it comes
to designing an estate plan.

Brown believes her background has


given her a unique perspective, and an
ability to understand and relate to her
clients.
I am always interested in how people
think and what makes them tick, she
said.
But even more significant to her practice has been her own life experience: At
one time she co-owned a large practice
with more than 35 employees, and what
that taught her was, bigger is not always
better.
I have been through the bumps and
bruises of life, and I have learned that
although there is a place for the corporate legal world, it seems that the attorney-client relationship inevitably suffers, she said.
So Brown has learned to scale back
on staff and overhead, and work more
closely with her clients. She has an office
in Folsom, but shes willing to travel as
needed and meet people in their homes
or even medical facilities if clients have
health issues, or if age makes it difficult
for them to travel.

I am blessed to have music and


law in my life. Having both brings a
certain balance to my soul.

Cynthia Brown, lawyer and musician

And on the weekends, Brown continues to nurture her passion for singing and
songwriting. She performs at many local
wineries, restaurants and pubs throughout Folsom, El Dorado Hills and the greater Sacramento area. You can catch her at
Scoreboards Pizza & Grill in Granite Bay,
UnWined in Folsom, and Crystal Basin in
Placerville, among others. She also performs for private parties, weddings and
fundraiser events. Some of her legal clients have also become fans of her music,
and come to her shows regularly.
I am blessed to have music and law in
my life, she said. Having both brings a
certain balance to my soul.
One could say Cynthia Brown, Esquire
also known as Cynthia Renee, musician has been fortunate to have discovered the laws of harmony.

Warsaws broad avenue Nowy Swiat opens into Old Town, an 18th-century community of streets painstakingly restored by Varsovians in the
decades following World War II. At right is the royal palace; at left in the background, the red brick partial wall, a survivor of the war, marks

oland, land of sausage, accordions,


and too many words that look like
pszczikowieszyiwice, was not on
my list of places to go before I die.
It is Eastern Europe after all, Western
Europes poorer cousin, the seedier, sadder side of the continent where 45 years
of communist rule, receding like a great
glacier at the end of the Cold War, purportedly left behind large deposits of
hideous buildings, bad roads, and uncertain plumbing.
Yet I have ancestors in Poland, so when
a chance came I went, toilet paper in my
suitcase and expectations set on low.
It was a revelation, something none of
my travels in the last decade could touch.
In Ireland, Italy and Greece I saw some of
Gods and mans soaring achievements; in
Polands history I came face-to-face with
ground-level humanity in all its remarkable cruelty, unending struggle, and unyielding will to survive. It is a place where
tragedy and sanctity stand side-by-side, a
place we all have ancestors, inasmuch as
what happened and still happens there is
the unvarnished story of man.

History looms in Warsaw


Poland is a New Mexico-sized country
with a California-sized population (38
million) and the geographical bad luck to
sit between Germany and Russia. When
friends and I flew last August into Warsaw
it had been 27 years since the end of Soviet hegemony in Eastern Europe.
Naively looking for signs of latent oppression in this first trip to a former communist country, I discovered the more
recent scars of Soviet control overlie the
deep, still aching wounds of World War II.
All of Poland is a cemetery, buried under
the ashes of 5 million of its own citizens,
and though World War II has been over for
70 years, in Poland it lingers on.
Monuments to World War II heroes and
battles are everywhere, memorializing
everything from an assault on the Polish
Bank (the bullet-riddled building still
stands), to the Holocaust to the Warsaw
Uprising. Here and there, at a plaque in
a wall or a war sculpture on a street, are
fresh flowers. Poles do not forget.
Warsaw itself is a monument, not to

mention a testament to Polish fortitude.


After the ultimately hopeless but defiant Warsaw Uprising in 1944, a vengeful
Adolph Hitler swore to obliterate Polish culture and history. Before his forces
moved out to escape the Soviet Red Army,
the Nazis destroyed 90 percent of Warsaws industrial infrastructure and historic monuments.
The Poles rebuilt it zloty (the Polish dollar) by zloty, brick by brick. Over decades
generations the Varsovians have
constructed not a new home but the old
one, using old photographs and paintings
to painstakingly restore a city and culture
Hitler could not kill. They focused on Old
Town (now a UNESCO World Heritage
site), recreating the look and feel of 17th18th century buildings using street scenes
painted in 1770. They restored the opulent Royal Palace and rebuilt city walls.
As we walked Old Town Warsaws amazing cobbled streets lined with crowded cafes where the food is hearty and the vodCONTINUED ON PAGE 34

ka flows like ... vodka, we joined a crowd
of happy diners sampling plates of Polish
specialties duck, trout, pork loin, farmraised venison. A sidestreet musician burst
into an operatic aria as travelers around
us window-shopped and ate ice cream.
Old Town feels old, as if it had been there
for centuries, perhaps because some of its
bricks were salvaged from its own rubble.
Modern downtown is pleasant in some
areas, hodgepodge in others, but then
70 years after the war Warsaw remains
a work in progress. Buildings take their
turn at restoration (still) as new European Union funds launch start-ups in technology, science and business. Shops and
restaurants are plentiful, the streets clean,
public transportation prevalent, plumbing fine, toilet paper provided. In lovely
Lazienki Park like New Yorks Central
Park, only safer top musicians perform
free Frederic Chopin concerts in honor of
Warsaws favorite son. A magnificent Jewish History Museum, opened in 2014 and
said to be the best museum in Europe, is a
star Warsaw attraction.
Soviet influence is melting, albeit slowly. Our lively taxi driver Jan, singing to old
Polish favorites on his radio, apologized
for his English, explaining Poles over 40
learned Russian in school and in public were to speak only that. Today, Polish
schoolchildren learn English.

34

No bread lines now, goods are plentiful,


but with wages low and unemployment
high, families struggle to afford them. Polands economy continues to waver.
Several sparkly new skyscrapers dot the
Warsaw skyline but above them looms the
Palace of Culture and Science, Stalins socalled gift to the Polish people. Built in
the early 1950s on land cleared by knocking down some of Warsaws just-restored
buildings, the rousingly ugly Palace remains the tallest edifice in Poland. (Poles
say the best thing about visiting the Palace: its the only place in Warsaw you dont
have to look at the exterior of it.)

Top: Warsaws clean, wide avenues and


ample public transportation make it
an easy (and safe) city for tourists and
businesspeople. Still, post-World War II
reconstruction continues. The building
draped in netting on the far left side of
the street gets its turn for a facelift.
At right: The three-masted schooner
may be only a replica aimed at attracting
tourists, but peering through the rigging
as it glides down the Motlowa River gives
visitors a perfect waterside view of the
lovely Gdansk wharf.
Above: The bullet-riddled Polish Bank
Building in Warsaw bears the scars of the
1944 Warsaw Uprising, when the valiant
remnants of the Polish Home Army took
on their Nazi captors.

Colors of Gdansk
From Warsaw we moved to charming
Gdansk, where every August since the year
1200 (according to a guidebook) the town
wharf has been awash in the Dominican
Fair, a noisy flood of farmers, craftsmen,
candy-makers, carvers, knitters, troubadours, junk-peddlers and other friendly
folk out to make a buck. We loved it.
After Warsaw, Gdansk offers a completely different brand of sights, sounds
and tastes. On its long, colorful, shopand restaurant-lined wharf we were introduced to gofry, a rolled waffle stuffed
with fruit and whipping cream, the perfect portable dessert. Waterside cafes offer fish and sausages, and vendors peddle
homemade goods as pleasure craft move
up and down the Motlawa River.
Through medieval gates off the wharf
are some of Europes prettiest streets.
Gdansks historic district is a gasp-inducing parade of high, narrow, pastel-colored
Dutch-style houses bejeweled with gargoyles, statuary, flowers. These six-story
beauties, once home to rich burghers, are
restaurants, public buildings, and jewelry shops selling authentic amber from
the Baltic Sea. In their midst, gothic St.
Mary Church rises like an immense sa-

cred mountain, its interior emptied of ornamentation by the Soviets but its tower
still affording the best view of the city for
anyone game to climb its 370 steps. (Also
gasp-inducing.) We did; it was worth it.
As with Warsaw, many of Gdansks historic monuments and structures are recreations or repairs. This city was first to be
devastated in World War II; Gdansks Westerplatte peninsula is unhappily famous as
the Sept. 1, 1939 start of the Nazi campaign.
Now a peaceful, park-like promontory
where a somber 30-foot granite monument
commemorates the battle, Westerplatte is
the site of an annual remembrance.
The two-hour boat ride on the Motlawa to and from Westerplatte took us
past mostly-shuttered shipyards where
in 1980 another courageous Pole, electrician-turned-statesman Lech Walesa,
mobilized shipping industry workers to
launch the Solidarinosc (Solidarity)

movement. A monument and museum


in Gdansk honor Solidarinoscs contribution to Polish freedom.
Visitors to Gdansk ought not skip nearby
Malbork Castle, another UNESCO World
Heritage site and billed as the largest castle in the world by land area. Having spent
an entire day tromping its corridors and
courtyards, I believe it. Drawbridges and
pointy medieval gates, cavernous public
halls and tiny monkish cells, now-dry outer and inner moats, even an ancient toilet
facility in the very highest tower (think
gravity), Malbork is a trip back in time.
Begun by the Order of Teutonic Knights in
the 13th century and once home to 3,000
of these generally disagreeable looters
and slayers, Malbork has been besieged,
bombed, burned (only a small part, in
1959) and yet stands, immense and formidable, a survivor from the Middle Ages.

Krakow Polands jewel

Auschwitz

From Gdansk we flew to Krakow (Krah-kof), reputedly


tourists favorite and Polands most beautiful city. No argument
here; Krakow is achingly lovely, its elegant historic buildings
ornamenting a huge, cobbled square lined with upscale shops,
outdoor cafes, and a Moorish-inspired central market. Wawel
Castle, a palatial jewel, is right down the street. Almost all of Polands major cities were heavily damaged or destroyed in World
War II but Krakows historic quarter remains untouched, perhaps because it was a Nazi government center.
Krakows square is mesmerizing, so majestic its fine to just
sit soaking up the 18th century atmosphere, but one night after
dinner we stepped into one of a half-dozen gleaming white carriages pulled by a team of beribboned horses and clip-clopped
through the softly-lit streets of Old Town. Krakow can make one
feel like a princess!
Outside the city walls is the Jewish District, Kazimierz, where
klezmer music and the delicious aroma of Yiddish dishes winding around the corners of centuries-old synagogues and shops
beckoned us inside. Not far away is Oskar Schindlers factory,
made famous in Steven Spielbergs film Schindlers List, and
the Krakow ghetto where Nazis held Polish Jews until March
1943 when they were shipped to concentration camps or
slaughtered on the street.
Just to the southeast of Krakow is the incredible Wieliczka
Salt Mine, opened in the 13th century and mined continually
until 2007. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site containing over
186 miles of tunnels hand-hewn some 1,080 feet into the earth,
Wieliczka is a tribute to human strength and endurance

To Krakows west, and in contrast with its graceful beauty, is


another famous tourist stop: Auschwitz, the Nazis foremost factory of death. One of nine Nazi annihilation and forced labor
camps in Poland, Auschwitz claimed 1.1 million lives, 1 million
of them Jews mostly from Hungary and Poland.
When we stepped under its cruel Arbeit Macht Frei sign
(Work will set you free), it was a busy day at the camp, busloads of tour groups lining up to get headphones and follow
guides. As we listened to the narrative, shambling in a line
from site to horrific site torture cells, glass cases full of victims shoes and shorn hair, firing squad wall, gallows, shower
room where people were gassed, ovens where their bodies were
burned I felt deadened by it all. Though I had learned and
read a good deal about the Holocaust had even visited another such camp in Germany it was newly monstrous, too much
to take in, too much to get over.
Too much to forget. So Poles do not. They are a friendly, generous, valiant people, as proud of their vodka (they offer it with
breakfast) as the Irish are of Guinness, but though they are lively, they have no air of innocence. The Poles have known every
sort of man and woman in the human family monster and
hero, robber and benefactor, brute and builder. They know history is precious and do not let it go, even as they grip the present
with a zesty thirst for life.
In leaving this traditional Roman Catholic country where
faith is a cornerstone of life, it occurred to me that Poles know
more than the rest of us about death and resurrection.
Theyve done both.

The only fitness


lesson you need
FITN ESS VIEW |

Debra Skelton

re you working toward a specific number on the scale? Or


are you hoping to fit into a certain size dress or jeans by
the New Year? While having this goal is great, it will not
ensure your success.

THE ONLY FITNESS LESSON YOU NEED


Think about how many people you know who have had a
specific number that they wanted to reach. You are probably one of them. This number might have been posted up on
a sticky note on the fridge, reminding you to watch what you
eat and consistently make it to the gym. Maybe this number
was updated and recorded everyday, to enforce accountability.
How long did that last? A week? Two weeks? Statistics dictate that it likely didnt last longer than a few weeks until
that goal number began to fade from your life. Then you
took it down off the fridge, or you stared at it defiantly as
you reached for the off-limits food. You began to look at your
goal number as an adversary rather than something good.
Im going to clue you in to the one and only lesson that you need
to know when it comes to fitness, fat loss, and achieving any
goal. Listen up; this one is worthwhile:

44

ITS NOT ABOUT REACHING A NUMBER.


This may go against everything youve come to believe about
achieving a goal, but then, your techniques havent exactly been
working. The number that youre hoping to magically be one
day doesnt matter one bit, and heres why

ITS ABOUT LIVING IN THE MOMENTUM.


Can you remember how it felt the last time that you ate clean,
exercised hard and got adequate sleep for a few consecutive
days? A feeling of momentum came over you, didnt it? There
was a buzzing in your cells and a rhythm in your pace. You felt
alive, you felt sexy, and you felt empowered. Never mind that
you werent yet at your goal number, you were headed there!
Getting down to your goal weight, and fitting into your goal size,
is the direct result of living in that state of momentum for an
extended period of time. You see, the momentum can be felt immediately, once you start eating clean, exercising hard and taking care of your health, whereas that goal number simply cant
be felt until it is achieved, and so its not as powerful a motivator.
My challenge and advice to you is to find the joy of living in the
momentum, and keep that momentum going until your goal number is achieved. Focus only on the momentum, not on the number.
Fitness is a way of life. Being lean is a lifestyle. Neither of
which can be had by going about it halfheartedly.
You have to become the momentum.
Happy Holidays from Motivative Health & Fitness!

Holiday wine
pairings make
all the difference
W I N E VI E W |

Erik Loigom

ith the festive season upon us, attention is focusing


on entertaining getting the right food together and
pairing it with the correct wines.
A traditional holiday dinner is turkey with herb stuffing, a
heavy gravy, tangy cranberry sauce, savory dressing, together
with sweet potatoes.
So what wines will pair best?
Very dry wines will die in the presence of all that fruit, salt
and sweetness. What is needed is an acidic wine with a touch
of sweetness that will break down the battery of flavors and
cleanse your mouth.
To start off your festive dinner I would recommend a sparkling ros, and if you wish to continue with sparkling for the rest
of your dinner, I would highly recommend a sparkling shiraz
from Australia.
For white-wine drinkers, viognier, gruner veltliner, and a nottoo-sweet riesling or gewurztraminer. I would stay away from
oaky, buttery chardonnays, as they lack the acidity to cleanse
your palate.
But the No. 1 go-to wine is my favorite, pinot noir. A high-acid, low-tannin pinot, with bright cherry and cranberry flavors
over rich spices, can do right by almost all the exuberant side
dishes a turkey requires.
If you are looking for a bigger red wine with fruit-forward flavors, I would recommend a zinfandel that is low in alcohol as we
know that holidays are a time for overindulgence. I would stay
away from heavy tannic red wines such as cabernet sauvignon,
petite sirah, malbec and heavy red blends.
To finish off the night and to impress your guests, a lovely
French sauterne as an aperitif to complement your dessert.

Erik Loigom, with his wife, Crickett, owns and operates UnWined in Folsom.
Born in Australia, he has visited most of the wineries in Australia and has
traveled to many wine regions around the world.
