Folsom Wine and Jazz

supports music students
by laura newell / entertainer

olsom High School jazz bands and choir will perform alongside two middle school jazz bands for the Folsom High School music boosters annual fundraiser event.
The 13th annual Folsom Wine and Jazz event will start at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 14, at the Folsom Community 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
benet Folsom High Schools
music program.
According to Folsom High
Schools music director Curtis
Gaesser, music helps students
succeed in more ways than one.
Music classes allow students
to create and play music, Gaesser 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.

wo 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.

ENTERTAINER

FLEMarch15.indd 8

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,

We are visiting the Folsom region in the hope of bringing

Arianne, who has ties to the Folsom region, said there is need for a camp in Northern 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

ake your taste buds on a world tour this

month at the 2015 International Culinary
Festival in Folsom. The multicultural feast
takes place from 3-6 p.m. Sunday, March 22 at the
Folsom Community Center located at 52 Natoma
Street. Tickets are available for $25.
Hosted by the Rotary Club of Historic Folsom,
the International Culinary Festival will present
food, wine and entertainment inspired by countries
around the world.
Live entertainment will include a fashion show
featuring Indian wear from local business Sarang,
returning act Hawkins School of Performance Arts
and magician Brad Bonar, Jr. Radio talk show host,
Phil Kellan, will emcee.
Most rotary club events are for adults, but we
want our event to be for the family, said Myriam
Liberman, with the Rotary Club of Historic Folsom.
According to Liberman, one of the goals of
the event is to introduce all the different events,
culture and countries to kids that dont know about
them yet. We have to introduce some culture to
them as soon as we can.

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. Its a liquid passport to the world as far as
wine and food.
Many local restaurants will cater the event,
including Land Ocean, Viscontis, 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 its all to support
local programs here in the community.
This year, the beneciary for the International Culinary 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.
Funds raised from ticket sales and a silent auction will go towards the literacy program.

ungry 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 rst three digits of the irrational number, pi:
3.14. Appropriately enough, this date also happens to be
Albert Einsteins 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 dont consider yourself a cook or math person, there are plenty of bakeries to help you get your pie
x this Pi Day.
One local favorite is Karens Bakery and Caf in Folsom.

out to their gardens to plant fresh produce and
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

A lot of people dont get into gardening because they
dont 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 stores grand opening celebration in Elk
Grove.
The two-day workshop will cover topics including Succulent 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.

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 lifestyle choices and promote 4-H youth development, Celio said.
Proceeds from the event will go to the 4-H Positive Youth Development 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. Patricks Day themed costumes are
welcome.
Im really excited for it, Winter said. Im a little bummed
that Im not running in it, as Ill be working it. Were hoping to
get 200 people. If we get close to 500 that would be so exciting.

Nature Bowl

grows teamwork through environmental fun

by laura newell / entertainer

very spring, regional schools and clubs

come together to build teams of third
through sixth-graders to take on challenges that test and develop their environmental literacy for the annual Nature Bowl
competition.

20 ENTERTAINER

FLEMarch15.indd 20

Nature Bowl is coordinated by the California 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-nal events for more than 20 years,
said Cordi Craig, with the American River
Conservancy. Having the host site in Coloma allows students and schools in El Dorado

County a more central location and encourages schools with more remote locations
to participate in a Sacramento region-wide
event.
The event is a science-based environmental education event for the students to participate 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 presentations on waste and recycling, renewable
and non-renewable resources, energy ow,
food webs and ways that humans impact the
environment, Craig said. Teams then attend
a semi-nal event and one team from each
division is chosen to advance to the nals
held at Sacramento State University in May.
Nature Bowl benets 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 science.
A program like this provides motivation
to the unifying concept and makes learning
more fun, said Stephani Saranillo, participating 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 everything they experience very relevant and
meaningful.
According to Craig, the event curriculum
corresponds with Californias Next Generation Science Standards, making it a great
complement to classroom syllabi.
American River Conservancys mission
is to serve our communities by ensuring
healthy ecosystems through land conservation, stewardship and education, Craig
said. Educating young people on the
importance of nature and preservation is
one of the best ways of progressing positive long term changes in sustainability and
stewardship. These students live in one of
the richest, biodiverse habitats in the country and their awareness is critical to creating
sustainable lifestyle changes.
Some participating schools include
Latrobe Elementary School, Silva Valley
Elementary, Pleasant Grove Middle School,
Millers High School, Silver Fork School,
Jackson Elementary, CA Montessori Project, Lakeview Elementary, Blue Oak Charter
Montessori, Blue Oak Elementary and Sierra
Ridge Middle School.
We hope that students take away an elevated curiosity and appreciation for the environment that surrounds them, Craig said.
We want students to get excited about nature and this event caters to that mission. In
fact, two high school Nature Bowl alumni are
coaching a team in the fth and sixth-grade
division this year. This is exactly the kind of
long-term outcome we strive to achieve.
