anuary. Its a new yearand our fourth for pro-

ducing this magazine.I remember when ourthen publisher Ken Lar-son asked me what Iwould like to see and myresponse was simple an arts and entertain-ment publication to com-plement our two newspa-pers (the Folsom and ElDorado Hills Telegraph).After months of planning,we launched Folsom

Lake Entertainer.Starting our fourth year

of publishing this maga-zine, the response con-tinues to be positive. Lau-ra Newell, who took overas associate editor for the

magazine, has continuedto carry the originalvision of serving the com-munity with this thingsto do publication.

As far as things to do,

our area offers so muchin the way of live per-formances.

The Walking Phoenixesput on a great JohnnyCash tribute show at Har-ris Center for the Arts (see

page 6). There are alsonumerous theatrical

groups such as SutterStreet Theatre, Free FallStage and El DoradoMusical Theatre (per-forming in Folsom).

Since their new sea-sons are still under wrapsas I pen this piece, checkFolsomTelegraph.com fortheir schedules andupcoming shows.

As always, let us knowwhat youd like to see and

how we can improve.

The Harris Center for the

Arts stage will light up withmovement and color as 25

acrobats display their talentswith props as varied as laddersand giant spinning wheels.

Founded by Lien Chi Changin 1967, the Golden DragonAcrobats have toured interna-tionally for more than 30 years.

With a large cast and colorfulset designs, Cirque Zva isdescribed as a fast-paced, tech-nically innovative and beauti-fully presented new show,based on an art form born inChina 2,500 years ago.

Family shows are some ofthe most popular events at theHarris Center, and this is afresh new show by one of thepremier Chinese acrobat com-panies currently touring the

United States, said Dave Pier,Harris Center for the Arts exec-utive director. What these per-formers are able to accomplish the seemingly impossible isamazing. Its a great example ofhuman creativity, expression,teamwork and excellence;what people can achieve if they

set their minds to it. We expectboth shows to sell out, so peo-ple should buy early to avoiddisappointment.

Cirque Zva was created in2011 for a 10-week engage-ment at Asbury Park Board-walks Paramount Theatre byDanny Chang, artistic director

of the Golden Dragon Acrobats.Dannys approach to the

production was simple hewants to create a show that iseye catching and breathtak-ing, said Jeremy Chang, whospoke on behalf of DannyChang. In order to do so, theproduction was designed so

that the audiences would nothave time to relax between dif-ferent acts.

Cirque Zva will be per-formed at 2 and 7 p.m., Satur-day, Jan. 18, at the Harris Cen-ter for the Arts at Folsom LakeCollege, 10 College Parkway,Folsom. Tickets are $21-$34,with premium seating for $45.

taking place at two ven-ues: Folsom High Schooland Rolling Hills Chris-tian Church. Since Fol-som High School is host-ing the event, its award-winning jazz choir andjazz band will not becompeting, but they willbe performing severaltimes throughout the day.Jazz Band I and JazzChoir I will perform inthe evening at RollingHills Christian Church.

Its an enormousundertaking, said RichGay, president of the Fol-som High School MusicBoosters. There are somany students (who) arepart of this, its justamazing.

The estimated numberof students participating

from throughout Califor-nia as well as westernNevada and southernOregon will range from1,200-1,500.

Professional recordingartists from the jazz worldwill also perform, includ-ing Donny McCaslin, Bri-an Lynch, The Com-manders US Air ForceBand, George Stone, andthe American River Col-

lege Vocal Jazz Ensemble.Folsom Highs music

program, including itsnationally recognizedjazz choir and jazz band,has been under the direc-tion of Curtis Gaessersince 1987.

The Folsom High

School jazz choir and jazzband and just our entiremusic program is a chal-lenging and rewarding

experience, said seniorTristan Bonds, 17.Gaesser heads it all. Hesthe master puppeteer.

Bonds started out withmusical theater when hewas only 8 years old, andperformed in Gypsy atthe Music Circus when he

was 10. He was one ofvery few to be chosen forJazz Choir I as a freshman.

The festival starts thejazz season, and the choiruses it to see how they aredoing, Bonds said, and tofigure out their tech-niques and the technical-ities of their sound.

Once we do that wejust start with all the jazzfestivals, Reno Jazz Festi-val, Santa Cruz, Mon-terey, and just tons of jazzfestivals, Bonds said.

Bonds said that the jazzchoir has a large varietyof songs this year.

We arrange popularsongs and old songs, hesaid, like All Along theWatchtower by Bob

Dylan, and we turn theminto this crazy arrange-ment with jazz chordsand jazz structure andjazz ideas.

The Los Angeles basedtribute band namedThe Walking Phoenix-

es will come to Folsomthis month for a specialperformance honoringJohnny Cash and his Jan.13, 1968, recording of AtFolsom Prison.

Drewin Young will por-tray Cash as the bandslead singer with the bandalongside him includingLaurelyn Arrington por-traying June Carter; JaredMiller, on electric bass;Gregg Karagianis, on leadelectric guitar; and NickIneck, on drums.

Our show will startwith a short video in thebeginning as a salute to

the Correctional Officersof Folsom, Young said.This will be followed bya full night of entertain-ment of Johnny Cashsfamous songs that heplayed 46 years ago atFolsom Prison, alongwith a few other songsfrom various countryartists.

Special guest singerJames Kruk will also per-form with the band.

James is an awesomeElvis impersonator, Youngsaid. As many peopleknow, Johnny Cash hadperformed with Elvisback in the day. We havea full agenda and lookingforward to the beautifulHarris Center.

performed at the Folsomarts center for the firsttime in January 2013 andYoung said they are look-ing forward to their return.

We didnt know what

to expect, but last yearwe were so surprised atthe unique town of Fol-som. This historic towngives a nostalgia pres-ence, almost like MainStreet in Disneyland. Thetown is very festive andinviting, Young said.Our audience last yearwas so engaging and fullof spirit that it kept thecircle of energy betweenthe audience and bandflowing continuously. Wefelt the love of everyone. Folsom was one of thebest experiences we havehad during our career,and we look forward inkeeping the Johnny Cashanniversary alive andmemorable.

Young said the TheWalking Phoenixes sound

has many different influ-ences, bringing a colorfuland layered sound to theirperformances.

Some songs are spedup and some are evenslowed down, Youngsaid. It depends on thecontent, style and story ofthe song. We have fourdifferent band members,with four different per-spectives and four very

different pallets of paintto work from. You add allthat together, and you getour sound with the John-ny Cash overtone essenceand presence.

While the band has nothad an opportunity toperform for inmates at

Folsom Prison, they didperform for 300 inmatesat the Idaho State Correc-tional Institution in thechapel last year.

We hope someday toplay in the chapel of Fol-som Prison as that wouldbe great to have thatopportunity to shareCashs songs with theinmates, Young said.Johnny Cash had a rea-son for why he performedat prisons, and we wantedto see what that reasonwas. Its not until you arein front of hundreds ofmen and/or women who

are fallen from grace,punished or not, that youget to feel a true light,being put into a field ofdarkness. Its not up to usto judge their hearts.Thats up to God. Its ourmission to show them alight and try and be thatvessel for our Lord.

Young said this is espe-cially true when they per-form inside of a prison

chapel.Anyone who is open to

wanting to know Godshares something com-mon with the rest of us,Young said. You didntfind Jesus in the palacesand mansions. You foundhim in the slums of cities

talking with tax collectors,thieves and criminals.

The Walking Phoenix-es, will perform at 7 p.m.,Saturday, Jan. 11, at theHarris Center for the Artsat Folsom Lake College,

10 College Parkway, Fol-som. Tickets are $14-$20,with premium seatsavailable for $28.

Folsoms Jeff and Gail Backare staying busy these dayswith their successful busi-

ness, Back Wine Bar and Bistro,two small children and plans ofopening a new restaurantcalled Folsom Tap House inlate January.

Jeff started working in therestaurant business 20 yearsago as a dishwasher andworked his way up the chain,

working every position in thebusiness.I always wanted to own my

own restaurant its all aboutthe passion, excitement andfast-pace excitement of it, Jeffsaid. Before this I managed awine bar and knew I was readyfor my own place.

Back Wine Bar and Bistroopened in May 2008 with small

plates and the wine bar. But asexcitement grew in the com-munity of the unique bar, Jeffsaid their bistro also grew.

We realized people wantedmore food, so we expanded,he said. We took over the suitenext door and my wife and I

designed the layout. I wasimportant for us to use localresources during our renova-tion. We worked with other

small businesses in Folsom, tohelp support businesses likeus.

Jeff said even through theirgrowth, they want to continueto be known as the Cheerswith Stemware.

We live three minutes fromour bistro and we love Folsom,Jeff said. This is where wewant to stay. We also work to

keep our food and wine highquality; we try to use as local aspossible, but also venture outfor alternate quality wines andingredients. Our goal is to keepour customers happy and sat-isfied.

Jeff and Gail plan to opentheir second restaurant in lateJanuary called Folsom TapHouse. The tap house will openin the same shopping center asBack Wine Bar and Bistro, at25005 Blue Ravine, which was

previously the Folsom SportsGarage.Folsom Tap House will be a

family-friendly restaurant, withbar food done well, Jeff said.

For more information onFolsom Tap House, visit Fol-somtaphouse.com.

Still Jeff and Gail say theirfamily is the center of their life.

January is crab feedmonth for Folsom andOrangevale, and Jan. 25

is crab feed day.Folsom Lake Lions Club

is putting on their 12thannual crab feed at theFolsom Community Cen-ter, starting with no-hostbar at 6 p.m., and dinnerat 7 p.m. The dinner willbegin with antipasto, andwill feature salad, rolls,

two types of pasta and, ofcourse, crab, and two bot-tles of wine will be placedat each table.

The raffle is a big draw,with prizes ranging from avalue of $15 up to around$600. Proceeds from thedinner will go into thegeneral service fund, 95percent of which stays inFolsom according to CarolRing, past Lions District

Governor. Folsom LionsClub provides volunteerand financial support formany worthy groupsincluding Twin LakesFood Bank and supports aproject to teach Braille tothe visually impaired atFolsom Prison. Also at theprison, the club providesprisoners with suppliesneeded for knitting andcrocheting.

Around 300 people gen-erally attend the crab feedeach year according toChris Gerard, first vicepresident for the club.

Carl Kropp, who lives inRancho Cordova, is one of

their biggest fans. Heworks at Folsom Prisonand each year sells ticketsand brings 40-50 people,most of whom are alsoemployed at the prison.

Ive been to most of thecrab feeds all aroundSacramento and by farthis is the best of all ofthem, Kropp said. Theytake real good care of thepeople theyre feeding.

Kropp has won prizes inthe raffle in the past.

As a matter of fact, a lotof the people (who) gowith us have won once ortwice, so its a fun thing todo, Kropp said.

Kropp said that icecream is usually served fordessert.

But by the time youredone, not a whole lot ofpeople eat the dessert, hesaid.

On the same day,

Orangevale Rotary isoffering their crab feed.The club has been in exis-tence since 1960, accord-ing to Ann Hively,Orangevale Rotary publicrelations chair, and for-mer club president.

FOLSOM LAKE ENTERTAINER JANUARY 2014 15WINE

BY GWEN BOHDAN


Mark Merritt of Kar-mre Vineyardsand Winery in Ply-

mouth is one of the bestknown wine gurus in theSierra Foothills. He cantell you all about the his-tory of a varietal andwhat to pair with any giv-en bottle. When it cametime to demystify the

subject of Port, heaccepted the challenge.A traditional Port is

made from four differentgrapes out of Portugal,Merritt explained. Kar-mre has a Port-stylewine called Three PrincesFort. Weve carried it inthe line since 2007. If wehad had it in the line in2006, we could call it aPort. We didnt, but at that

time a treaty kicked intoplay between the UnitedStates and the EuropeanUnion. Among otherthings, we agreed not touse each others placenames. Of course, Portois a place name.

Port-style wines in theUnited States are typical-ly made from local vari-etals and fortified with ahigh-alcohol liquid, tra-

ditionally brandy. TheThree Princes Fort is asemi-sweet wine lighteron the sugar and alcoholthan many other Ports.

What we wanted wasa beverage that could goon the table as well as bean after-dinner bever-age, he added. LightPorts like this will workvery nicely if the menu

items are sweet - a honeybaked ham, carrots donein a raisin-and-brown-sugar sauce - thingswhere the menu includesa sweet item, you caninclude Port as one of thedinner beverages.

In Somersets Fairplayregion, Chateau Routonmakes five estate-grownPorts from Portuguese

varietals. Owner BobRouton believes his Portsare dry and balancedenough to withstand thewhole meal, not justdessert.

Port is just a balancedwine that has a little more

alcohol in it, he said.The Portuguese style ismaking a very balancedwine using a double dis-tilled brandy.

Distilling the brandytwice renders it nearly190 proof, making ittasteless so it does notchange the flavor of thewine itself.

These are very dryPorts, and thats what the

high-end Ports are like -nice and smooth, easy todrink and they last forev-er in the bottle, Routonmentioned. We tell peo-ple our Ports are dryenough to use as a dinnerwine, and we also serve acouple of our Ports withhors doeuvres and saladsor fruit. Theyre great withcheesecake. Ports aregood with a lot of differ-

ent foods if they are dryenough. If theyre toosweet, they clash with thefoods.

The largest portfolio ofPorts in the SierraFoothills can be found atDeaver Winery in Ply-mouth where Missiongrapes are used to makethe brandy that fortifiesthe 12 Ports in the win-erys tasting room. The

Mission grapevines werebrought to the region byFranciscan monks duringthe Gold Rush, rightwhen the Deaver familyfirst came to this area.The Ports are aged in oakbarrels for 10 to 12 years,and then rested in thebottle for another two orthree before hitting thetasting room shelf.

I think what sets us

apart from the otherPorts in the area is thecare that Deaver uses,said associate Bob Chiga-zola. The overall age ofthe vines that theDeavers own and thequality of the brandy thatthey make it with - theytake great care with theiraging process.

But if Port goes so wellwith any course, why is it

so famously paired withchocolate?

Chocolate and Portjust go naturally togeth-er, claimed DeaversNorina Johnson. Port is adessert style wine, so youalways think of chocolateand Port. It doesnt neces-sarily always have to bepaired with chocolate,but it is one of thefamous pairings.

Port proves its more than a dessert wine

I am seeing a lot ofwomen come in for theombre and balayagelooks, she said. Theombre is darker at theroots and lightens towardthe bottom, while bal-ayage is a freehand paint-ing technique to makethe look dimensional.These styles both createnatural highlights anddimensional color.

For bold long hair, hairextensions are also gain-ing popularity right now,Cromwell said. Theextensions add length,fullness and can even beused for different coloroptions, she said.

Between holiday parties withfriends and family feasts,the holidays are a time

when gaining weight is com-mon.

With New Years Eve rightaround the corner, many makeresolutions to lose weight in thenew year, but finding out thebest way to do so can be diffi-cult. Some get so frustrated they

dont even know where to startand others dont stay with theirworkout routine much longerthan the holiday season itself.

Getting started truly is thehardest part, said DeniseSamuel, a personal trainer andthe fitness director at Snap Fit-ness in El Dorado Hills. Onceyou get to the gym, there aretons of different things that canhelp make it happen. The mostimportant thing is finding

something you enjoydoing. There are so manydifferent types of exercis-es; from spin classes,cross-fit and TRX to row-ing machines, treadmillsand more, theres some-

thing for everyone.Samuel said many res-

olutions arent successfulbecause of a lack ofaccountability, which iswhy she suggests findinga workout partner or tosign up for fitness classeswhere a small group ofpeople work out together.

There are plenty ofpeople with good will

power that can keepworking out, but life isbusy and one of the firstthings people cut out isworking out, especially ifits not a habit, Samuelsaid. Working out insmall groups with a per-sonal trainer is very pop-ular right now. It costsless than working one-on-one with a personaltrainer and you have the

atmosphere and energyyou get from workingwith a group.

Goal-setting is alsoimportant to success.Samuel said people aremore successful if theyhave a goal or a reason tobe working out. Beinggrateful is also a big part ofbeing successful.

Im big on gratitude,Samuel said. When I

walk into a gym, Im feel-ing grateful that I canexercise and do all thethings that are offered.When you are grateful,when you go to the gym

thinking Im making aposition choice to go tothe gym and get in shape,you cant also be in a stateof loathing of how youhate working out.

KAREN MACKEY, THE OWNER OF CURVES

IN FOLSOM, OFFERS TIPS TO

HELP REDUCE YOUR WAISTLINE.

1) Eat a healthy snack or meal replacement bar anhour before eating. Curves offers low calorie, highprotein bars that taste great. They help you stay full

so you wont be tempted to over eat.2) Work in some sort of exercise to reduce yourstress levels. It is recommended you get in 10,000steps per day. Wear a pedometer so you can keeptrack of your steps.3) Drink plenty of water during and between meals.Studies show that drinking plenty of water duringthe day keeps you full, hydrated and prevents overeating.4) Eat slowly and enjoy your meal. Did you knowthat studies show that people who eat slower con-sume fewer calories? It takes approximately 20 min-utes for the brain to realize that youre full. Eatingfast can cause you to over indulge because yourbrain doesnt have time to register that youve eat-en enough. By just taking the time to slow downyou may realize youre full and not go back for sec-ond or third helpings.5) Plan a physical activity after meals to work offsome of those extra calories and release stress.6) Clean up and put away the snacks and dessertsafter meals. You are less likely to over indulge iffood is out of sight.7) Get plenty of sleep.8) Dont be hard on yourself ... Remember some-times we all blow it. So dont beat yourself up aboutover-doing it or use one wild night as a license totear up the town. The important thing to rememberis to forgive yourself and get back on track. The nextday just get back to the gym or take a walk thetreadmill and keep yourself on the healthier path.
