After the egg hunt, children can visit participating businesses to collect their free gifts. The hunt will include four egg zone areas for ages 0-3, 4-5, 6-7 and 8 and older.

Folsom High School jazz bands and choir will perform alongside two middle school jazz bands for the Fol-som High School music booster’s annual fundraiser event.

The 13th annual Folsom Wine and Jazz event will start at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 14, at the Folsom Com-munity Center.

Guests will taste wines from the region, sample food from local restaurants and browse silent auction tables with entertainment provided by the Folsom High School jazz bands and jazz choir and Sutter and Folsom Middle School jazz bands.

“People look forward to this event including the participating servers – many of which return year after year,” said Dawn Cayabyab, Folsom High School Music Boosters member. “The atmosphere is relaxed, upscale and a great place to mingle while enjoying food, wine and perusing silent auction tables.”

All proceeds from this event benefi t Folsom High School’s music program.

According to Folsom High School’s music director Curtis Gaesser, music helps students succeed in more ways than one.

“Music classes allow students to create and play music,” Gaess-er said. “The intrinsic values are immeasurable. A lot of our students come to school just to be a part of the music program. It keeps a lot of kids in school.”

Gaesser said life skills are built in his classrooms.

“Music teaches students how to work with others, how to lead and how to be a part of a group endeavor with common goals,” he said. “We learn how to always be at our best, this will help them in their future jobs, life and responsibilities.”

Two stars of the NBC soap opera, “Days of Our Lives,” will visit Folsom this month to bring awareness to their growing teen camp.

Arrow-Heart Adventure Camps was co-created in September of 2007 by actress Arianne Zucker and Todd Zucker. They are a brother sister team that believe in positivity, mentorship and giving people a chance to live to their full potential.

Todd and Arianne have since tested the adventure camp in three different countries - U.S., England and South Africa - and found that they were able to reach the goals they were hoping for, which is positive change in young adults.

“Days of Our Lives” costars Arianne, who plays Nicole Walker, and Shawn Christian, who plays Dr. Daniel Jonas, will come to the region for a fundraiser benefi ting the nonprofi t teen mentorship organization Arrow-Heart Adventure Camps. Courtesy photos.

Real adventure on and off the screen

The camp is based on an adventure for teens from 13-17 years of age that have reached a crossroads in their lives.

“We wanted to create an environment that made these teens feel at home, feel free from judgment and succeed in ways they could never imagine,” Arianne said.

“Days of Our Lives” costars Arianne, who plays Nicole Walker, and Shawn Christian, who plays Dr. Daniel Jonas, will come to the region for a fundraiser benefi ting the nonprofi t teen mentor-ship organization Arrow-Heart Adventure Camps.

“We are visiting the Folsom region in the hope of bringing an Arrow-Heart Adventure Camps to Northern California, and specifi cally in the Folsom area,” Christian said. “This is passion for a purpose. We are out to have a good time and get involved in the community.”




Arianne said the camp is about helping teens fi nd a positive path in life and give them resources to stay on that path.

“We want to celebrate our youth and cele-brate their future,” she said. “Every teen is at risk and we want to help them on their path and give a positive path.”

Arianne, who has ties to the Folsom re-gion, said there is need for a camp in North-ern California.

“We know and have people who believe in us and want us up here,” she said. “It takes the community to make this happen. We are so thrilled that people want to support our organization. During our time in Folsom, we want to say thank you to these people and businesses who want to help us.”

The actors will hold three separate events while in the region to help raise awareness on the camp.

Events include a meet and greet for $50 from 5:30-7:30 p.m., Friday, March 27, at Mix Downtown in Sacramento. A second meet and greet will be from 6-8 p.m., with a VIP entry at 5 p.m., at Lockdown Brewing Com-pany in Folsom. The stars will also have a last meet and greet brunch from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Sunday, March 29, at Land Ocean Restaurant in Folsom.

Ken Sheffer helps a guest at the beer and wine garden.

For the adults in attendance, there will also be a beer and wine garden, as well as a very popular wine wall.

“The beer and wine garden is fabulous,” said Debbie Newell, with the Rotary Club of Historic Folsom. “It’s a liquid passport to the world as far as wine and food.”

Many local restaurants will cater the event, including Land Ocean, Visconti’s, Wing Stop, Great Harvest Bread, India House, La Rosa Blanca, Kanpai Sushi, Oopa Yogurt Bar, My Chocolate Affair, The Back Wine Bar Bistro and Terrence Bakery.

“You get a lot of bang for your buck,” Newell said. For the price of a ticket, “guests get food, entertainment, wine and beer, and it’s all to support local programs here in the community.”

This year, the benefi ciary for the International Cu-linary Festival will be a new reading and mentoring campaign through the Rotary.

“Our emphasis is literacy,” said Lola Purdy, with the Rotary Club of Historic Folsom. “We started a three-year program for literacy of at risk children.”

Feeling DIY? Try your hand at a homemade pie for Pi Day.

The formula for a perfect Pi Day

The banana cream pie from Bakerie and Latte Chateau Arme is one of many pies made to order.

FOOD & WINE

Hungry for another holiday this March? Pi Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate with a delicious slice or two of your favorite pie.

Pi Day takes place every March 14 as the numeric date spells out the fi rst three digits of the irrational number, pi: 3.14. Appropriately enough, this date also happens to be Albert Einstein’s birthday.

This year, Pi Day is especially “mathemagical” because the year 2015 continues the sequence: 3.1415. If you go so far as including the time of day, 9:26 a.m. or p.m. would be a perfect time to pick up a piece of pie for breakfast, dessert or both.

Even if you don’t consider yourself a cook or math per-son, there are plenty of bakeries to help you get your pie fi x this Pi Day.

One local favorite is Karen’s Bakery and Café in Folsom.

With spring on the way, many people are venturing out to their gardens to plant fresh produce and fl owers for the warm weather.

Green Acres Nursery and Supply experts are working to help homeowners get their landscapes and patios bright and colorful this season at their annual “Dig into Spring Ideas Fair.”

“A lot of people don’t get into gardening because they don’t have a lot of knowledge and experience,” said Zen Landis, with Green Acres Nursery and Supply. “But, we want to give people the knowledge to do it themselves.”

This year the workshop is from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, March 21 and from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday, March 22, at the new Elk Grove store near Highway 99 and the Bond Road off-ramp at 9260 E. Stockton Blvd. The workshop will help celebrate the store’s grand opening celebration in Elk Grove.

The two-day workshop will cover topics including Succu-lent Success, fruit trees, roses, vegetable gardening, soils and fertilizers, sunset container gardening, irrigation and lawn care in a drought.

“Plants want to grow, so we are here to help,” Landis said.For more information, visit idiggreenacres.com.

Color Me Green 5K Runsure to put a smile on your face

The Color Me Green 5K planning team includes Alana Cardinalli, Brooke Haynes, Nichole Haynes, Breanna Winter and Gina Phillipsen. Courtesy photo

What could be more fun then dressing up for St. Patrick’s Day, getting green and participating in a 5K run/walk?

The El Dorado County 4-H Youth Development Pro-gram has put together a Color Me Green 5K to be held 9 a.m. March 7 at Shingle Springs Rancheria. The event is for fun and people are welcome to walk. It will not be timed.

“I’m really excited about it,” said Breanna Winter, a 16-year-old sophomore at Union Mine High School, who is one of several

teens involved in planning the event. “It’s been a lot of fun work-ing on it the last six months. We’ve been experimenting making our own paint and that’s been fun too.”

The “Color Me Green” portion of the event, for those who have never participated in a color run, means that green dye will be tossed at participants at every mile marker and by the time they fi nish the run, they will be green. Have no fear, the green washes away.

The teens, along with an adult support staff, put together the event. Adult committee member Tracy Celio, the youth devel-opment coordinator for the University of California Cooperative

Extension, said the youth did most of the planning.“The kids were the brains; the adults just helped them bring

it to fruition,” Celio said. “The teens recognized an issue in our community, which was the need to be more healthy. They were looking for ideas to bring families out for exercise and have fun.” A group of students attending a 4-H state leadership conference over the summer heard of colors runs that Purdue University had organized through 4-H and wanted to bring the event to El Dorado County.

“They saw this as an opportunity to bring a color run to the county, get the community excited and engaged in healthy life-style choices and promote 4-H youth development,” Celio said.

Proceeds from the event will go to the 4-H Positive Youth De-velopment Program and will help pay for summer camps, among other things.

The 5K run through rolling hills and hundreds of oak trees

will be held rain or shine. St. Patrick’s Day themed costumes are welcome.

“I’m really excited for it,” Winter said. “I’m a little bummed that I’m not running in it, as I’ll be working it. We’re hoping to get 200 people. If we get close to 500 that would be so excit-ing.”



Every spring, regional schools and clubs come together to build teams of third through sixth-graders to take on chal-

lenges that test and develop their environ-mental literacy for the annual Nature Bowl competition.

“Nature Bowl is coordinated by the Cali-fornia Department of Fish and Wildlife and the overall event is currently in its 30th year; however the American River Conservancy has been a partner organization and hosted semi-fi nal events for more than 20 years,” said Cordi Craig, with the American River Conservancy. “Having the host site in Colo-ma allows students and schools in El Dorado

County a more central location and encour-ages schools with more remote locations to participate in a Sacramento region-wide event.”

The event is a science-based environmen-tal education event for the students to par-ticipate in activities that increase ecological knowledge and conservation literacy.

“The goal of Nature Bowl is to create a

safe and fun environment for learning and so the ‘competitive’ aspect is de-emphasized so that all students can achieve success in learning,” Craig said.

Students perform in small teams of up to eight members in various science and nature-based activities. Teams answer questions, solve problems and give presen-tations on waste and recycling, renewable and non-renewable resources, energy fl ow, food webs and ways that humans impact the environment, Craig said. Teams then attend a semi-fi nal event and one team from each division is chosen to advance to the fi nals held at Sacramento State University in May.

“Nature Bowl benefi ts both teachers and students in El Dorado County because it provides an opportunity for experiential learning outside the classroom,” Craig said. “In team settings, students are able to build teamwork and problem-solving skills, and sharpen their creative and critical thinking abilities.”

The Nature Bowl also provides teachers with tangible results for learning and sci-ence.

“A program like this provides motivation to the unifying concept and makes learning more fun,” said Stephani Saranillo, partic-ipating Mariposa School teacher. “It also builds teamwork since the other students in the class contribute to the teams learning in cooperative activities and presentations.”

Wilton 4-H Club leader Bobbie Winn agreed.

“The Nature Bowl helps to make learning fun and teaches cooperation,” Winn said. “It uses the community where kids live as the

classroom, and this helps to make every-thing they experience very relevant and meaningful.”

According to Craig, the event curriculum corresponds with California’s “Next Gener-ation Science Standards,” making it a great complement to classroom syllabi.

“American River Conservancy’s mission is to serve our communities by ensuring healthy ecosystems through land conser-vation, stewardship and education,” Craig said. “Educating young people on the importance of nature and preservation is one of the best ways of progressing posi-tive long term changes in sustainability and stewardship. These students live in one of the richest, biodiverse habitats in the coun-try and their awareness is critical to creating sustainable lifestyle changes.”

Some participating schools include Latrobe Elementary School, Silva Valley Elementary, Pleasant Grove Middle School, Miller’s High School, Silver Fork School, Jackson Elementary, CA Montessori Proj-ect, Lakeview Elementary, Blue Oak Charter Montessori, Blue Oak Elementary and Sierra Ridge Middle School.

“We hope that students take away an ele-vated curiosity and appreciation for the en-vironment that surrounds them,” Craig said. “We want students to get excited about na-ture and this event caters to that mission. In fact, two high school Nature Bowl alumni are coaching a team in the fi fth and sixth-grade division this year. This is exactly the kind of long-term outcome we strive to achieve.”
