Folsom’s Historic District will be the
place cycling fans will want to be on
May 12 when the second stage of
the Amgen Tour of California is held.
Road racing opens May 11. The follow-
ing day, Folsom will host a time trial with
the starting and finishing lines only a short
walk from each other.
on the
0430FLE004 4/18/2014 3:42 PM Page 4
“The Historic District will be ‘ground zero’ so to speak,” Folsom Parks and Recre-
ation Director Robert Goss said. “The starting line will be by Snook’s Candies on
Sutter Street and the finish line will be on Leidesdorff near Wool Street. From Scott
Street to Reading, it’s going to be a festival. The team bus parking will be there and
it’s also where the riders will be warming up.”
Goss said when Folsom was a pass-through city for the Amgen Tour in 2011, the
race drew about 3,000 spectators on a rainy, chilly day. This year, Goss said he
expects the race the draw at least 10,000 fans.
The time trial will begin around 1 p.m.
and riders will leave from the starting line
one at a time, one minute apart. The last 10
riders to go, who will be the top-10 finishers
from the previous day’s road race in Sacra-
mento, will go out every two minutes.
Starting near Snook’s Candies, the riders
will turn left on Riley St. and cross Rainbow
Bridge before turning right on Folsom-
Auburn Road for the uphill climb to Folsom
Lake Crossing. After crossing the bridge,
which gives riders a great view of Folsom
Dam, the riders will proceed down E.
Natoma Street before turning left on Green
Valley Road. Riders will turn around near
Brown’s Ravine and make their way back
the way they came before pedaling over
Lake Natoma Crossing and turning left on
Leidesdorff and completing the 12.5-mile
course at the finish line near Karen’s Bakery.
Matt Colonius, general manager of Bicy-
cle Planet in Folsom, is excited for the
Amgen Tour to come to town.
“It’s a phenomenal opportunity to show cycling here in Folsom,” Colonius said.
“A lot of focus is on the race, but we have racing here in town because a lot of people
enjoy riding. A lot has been done to develop cycling opportunities in this city and
this will just build on it.”
Prior to the professional men’s time trial, the pro women will hold their own time
trial on the same course. An amateur time trial, featuring eight Folsom residents,
will be held prior to the women’s event.
“The Historic District will be ‘ground zero’ so tospeak. ... The starting line will be by Snook’s
Candies on Sutter Street and the finish line willbe on Leidesdorff near Wool Street. From Scott
Street to Reading, it’s going to be a festival. “Robert Goss, Folsom Parks

Peter Jaffe willbe the incomingconductor for the
Folsom Symphonybeginning with the
2014-2015season.
FOLSOM LAKE ENTERTAINER • MAY 2014 7
The end of a symphonic season will introduce a
new conductor for the Folsom Symphony. After
10 seasons, Maestro Michael Neumann will
retire to make way for a new leader.
Neumann will continue with the group as music
director emeritus.
Peter Jaffe, the conductor for the Stockton and
Auburn symphonies, will take over Neumann’s role
beginning with the 2014-2015 season. Jaffe will guest
conduct this season’s final performance, “Out of This
World,” May 31 and June 1.
“I’m very excited and supportive for Peter,” Neumann
said. “I was very involved in the process of who would
be following me as the symphony’s conductor. This is a
beautiful transition. I know the symphony is in good
hands with Peter.”
Neumann has been the symphony’s only conductor
since their first performance in 2004.
When he joined the symphony, Neumann was
already well known as the music director for the Sacra-
mento Youth Symphony, a position he will keep.
Neumann said his decision to retire from conducting
the Folsom Symphony came about because of a com-
bination of life events. He said he decided it was time to
step back and slow down.
“Folsom has been a significant part of my life, so this
decision was very difficult,” Neumann said. “But I think
in the long run this will be a positive decision for my life
and a positive change for the Folsom Symphony Orches-
tra. This will afford me more time with the Sacramento
Youth Symphony, which I began working with in 1979.”
Jaffe comes to Folsom with a broad background in a
variety of musical arenas including conducting the
Stockton Symphony since 1995, the third-oldest sym-
phony in California, and took over as conductor of the
Auburn symphony in 2012. He will continue in both of
these positions.
“This is a very exciting time and I am so appreciative
of what the Folsom Symphony and Michael Neumann
have achieved so far,” Jaffe said. “My mission looking
forward is to continue the legacy that Michael has left
us and strive for an ever higher artistic goal.”
Symphony concerts are performed at Harris Center
for the Arts, 10 College Parkway, Folsom.

The Sacramento Ballet will present their 2014 Modern
Masters program, including three original choreo-

som Lake College.
The show will run May 15-17. The Thursday and Friday
performances are at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday’s matinee is at 1
p.m.
Under the direction of Sacramento Ballet’s Co-Artistic
Directors Ron Cunningham and Carinne Binda, the fourth
piece, which opens the program, is George Balanchine’s
“Apollo.” At its debut in 1928, “Apollo” was instantly hailed as
a masterpiece, which has been described as the wellspring
from which all subsequent contemporary dance was
derived, said Steve LaRosa with the Sacramento Ballet.
According to LaRosa, this edgy, contemporary collection
of works will emphasize the power and impressive physical-
ity of the dancers.

The Folsom Tap House opened at the old Sport’s Garage location under the new
ownership in early April, at 25005 Blue Ravine Road, in Folsom.
According to owner Jeff Back, also the owner of Back Wine Bar and Bistro, the Fol-
som Tap House will offer local beers as well as small batch beers from micro brew-
eries.
“This will be a family friendly atmosphere catering to kids and families,” Back
said. “The community needed this kind of family atmosphere ... Kid-friendly
foods with hidden nutrition include whole wheat pasta for spaghetti and meat-
balls, baked chicken strips, peanut butter and jelly sushi rolls and a piglet in a
blanky. ...We really wanted to keep our food options
good, simple and unique for the kids.”
The restaurant will also feature chalk-
board tables for kids to color on and stay
busy during dinner.
Back said he is excited to open the new
restaurant with a more family friendly vibe than Back
Wine Bar and Bistro, located in the same parking lot.
“This is a lot of fun because these are two
totally different concepts, one for a nice
quiet evening out and the other
has more of a kid-friendly
focus for a family,” Back
said.

El Dorado County wineries pour on dog-friendly
smilesby laura newell / entertainer
Vino and
Every dog lover knows a
day out is not complete
without bringing their dog
along for the day. El Dorado
County understands that
mindset, and set aside a few
dog-friendly locations for
wine enthusiasts.
The wine trail starts in the
city of Lincoln, at the fami-
ly-owned Davis Dean Cel-
lars. Nestled in a red brick storefront
from Lincoln’s turn-of-the-century
railroad days, Davis Dean Cellars
has a classic, earthy interior with
easy, friendly service. Winemaker
Marshall Davis has really made his
name lately with the 2011 “Zynthia,”
a special Zin varietal that hits with
an ultra-fresh oak tint over its intel-
ligent black cherry liquorish base.
Driving out into Lincoln’s open
farmlands, the first rustic destina-
tion on the Placer wine trail is Wise
Villa Winery.
Set on a dynamic swirl of land-
waves draped in vines, the villa’s
modern Tuscan architecture looms
over a spattering of black oaks and
long stretches of golden grass.
Leaving Wise Villa Winery, a quick
drive east through the rolling coun-
tryside can bring you to Dono dal
Cielo Vineyard and Winery, Lone
Buffalo Vineyards, Mt. Vernon Win-
ery and a host of other vintner
havens.
Wine Trail maps are available at
each destination, or online at their
website, placerwine.com.

When an event is being held for the 31st time, it must be popular.
In the case of Folsom’s Run with Nature, the event continues to
draw nearly 2,000 participants every year. On May 17, the Run
with Nature will be held for the 31st time. One of the reasons the event is so
popular is because it’s something the entire family can
enjoy. There are 5k and 10K timed trail runs, the 10K which
takes participants through Folsom Prison property, a non-
competitive 5K walk, a half-mile youth run through the
Folsom Zoo Sanctuary and the Wild Way, a two-mile obsta-
cle course that continues to grow in popularity each year.
“The 10k trail run takes you through prison property,
which is the one time a year you can do that,” said Susanne
Stockton, Folsom’s Community and Cultural Services manager. “The run is
very green and there are a lot of rolling hills. The youth half-mile race
through the park and the zoo is popular with the kids. Anyone with a bib
gets free entry into the zoo on that day. The Wild Way is two-mile long
obstacle course geared toward families competing together. We’ve got sev-
eral obstacles planned including a foam machine area, hippity hops, a tire
obstacle, a mud area, under/over obstacles and more. The Run with Nature
is a family event; there’s something for everyone. You can do one of the runs
or the walk and then you can do the Wild Way as a family or as friends or
neighbors or co-workers.”
“It’s great to watch family members or neighbors or colleagues working
together to overcome the obstacles,” Stockton said. “It’s a lot of fun.”

only help the fight against
cancer, but also enjoy 24 hours of
social exercise.
The American Cancer Society’s
Relay for Life of Folsom will be from 9
a.m. to 9 a.m., May 17-18, at Sutter
Middle School, 715 Riley St., Folsom.
This overnight event celebrates
cancer survivors, remembers those
we have lost and provides the com-
munity with an opportunity to unite
and fight back against this disease,
said Toni Spence, Folsom Relay for
Life event chair.
“Cancer is prevalent in the Folsom
community and Relay for Life gives
cancer patients, family, friends and
community members an opportuni-
ty to fight back against a disease that
sometimes makes us feel powerless,”
Spence said.

Relay for Life is a grassroots movement that
brings communities together to “finish the
fight against cancer,” Spence said.
The event will also include a luminaria ded-
ication.
“Luminaria bags are transformed and illu-
minated after dark at every local Relay for Life
event,” Spence said. “Each luminaria is per-
sonalized with a name, photo, message or
drawing in memory or honor of a friend or
loved one who has been affected by cancer.
Luminaria can also be dedicated in support of
a Relay participant. Each luminaria candle
represents a person. They are our mothers,
fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces,
nephews, friends, coworkers and so many oth-
ers.”
Luminarias can be purchased for a donation
of $10.
“Everyone is invited to come see what Relay
for Life is all about,” Spence said. “If cancer has
touched your life in one way or another we
encourage you to join a team, start a team, or
just come for one of our moving ceremonies,
like luminaria. … There are many other ways
you can help us finish the fight against cancer
including donating, becoming a sponsor, join-
ing our planning committee or helping with
day of volunteer tasks. We also welcome any-
one who’s ever heard the words ‘you have can-
cer’ to join us for the opening ceremony where
we would love to honor you as a cancer sur-

they dig
You wouldn’t really
call it a ghost
town, because a
few people still live here.
And the town of North
Bloomfield does not sit in
a state of arrested decay.
“Here, it’s a state of his-
toric preservation,” said
Matt Green, with Califor-
nia State Parks. “It’s really
a dynamic piece of prop-
erty. For good or bad ... it’s
what defined California.”
The good he refers to is
Malakoff Diggins, the
State Park which features
not only the historic town
of North Bloomfield, but
the industry which it was
born out of — mining.
The Diggins Pit is a
7,000-foot long, 3,000-foot
wide, 600-foot deep testa-
ment to the marriage of
avarice and ingenuity.
“By shooting water
against the hillside, fun-
neled through (cannons)
and canvas tubing, they
were able to mine the gold
more efficiently,” Green
said, “But it took away the
hillside and created Dig-
gins Pit.”
