Folsom embraces holiday spirit

Gabe Mitobe-Tayor, 9, of Fair Oaks, skates around the circular ice rink on Sutter Street in Folsom during its grand opening in November.

he Folsom Historic District has many options this year for holiday shoppers looking for unique options. After kicking off the holiday season with the Tree Lighting event from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 30, families can ice skate around the tree on the railroad turntable for a unique holiday experience. The ice rink, presented by the Folsom Historic District Association, is open for skaters from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. through Jan. 21 on Sutter Street. Merchants are ecstatic to have this fun holiday tradition return, said Jim Snook, district president. We are looking forward to all the other Historic Folsom holiday events such as the Christmas Tree Lighting and the magnificent 45th annual Christmas Arts and Crafts Fair on Dec. 1 as both will be enhanced by the ice rink. Fees for a skating session are $10 for adults and $8 for children 8 years old and under and a small fee for skate rental. The rink is located adjacent to the parking structure at 905 Leidesdorff St. and across from the light rail station. Parking is free. The Folsom Historic District is projecting over 40,000 visitors between skaters and spectators this ice skating season, said Stephanie Rodgers, Folsom Historic District Association director. Part of the proceeds from the ice rink will go toward refurbishing the Railroad Museum Car which will return to its

home in historic Folsom for the public to enjoy in the near future, Rodgers said. It is exciting that the ice rink is featured in Historic Folsom Station circling the beautiful railroad turntable, Rodgers said. This year we teamed up Studio 33 who brought an amazing ice rink experience to Historic Folsom. Other holiday events in the Historic District include the 45th Christmas Arts and Crafts Fair from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Dec. 1 and the Historic Folsom Holiday Open House on Dec. 7-8. For a special New Years celebration, ice skaters can glide throughout the evening as the rink will be open until 12:30 a.m. to bring in 2013. For more information on the ice rink and other Historic District events, visit historic folsom.org. In other events, Folsom will embrace the spirit of freedom and the holiday season with the sixth annual Chanukah Wonderland.

The event is from 2 to 5:30 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 9, at Folsom Community Center, 52 Natoma St., Folsom. The Menorah Lighting Ceremony begins at 5 p.m. The community is invited to share in the Chanukah celebration that will culminate in lighting a unique canned food Menorah, said Rabbi Yossi Grossbaum, with the Chabad Jewish Community Center in Folsom. Chanukah Wonderland, sponsored by Chabad Jewish Community Center, commemorates the first battle won for religious freedom, Grossbaum said. As part of the Chanukah outreach campaign, the Chabad Jewish Community Center joins thousands of Chabad Centers across the globe that stage similar public displays of the Menorah and its symbolic lights. The festival will include games for all ages, music, delicious hot latkes, authentic Israeli food court, Chanukah gift shop and a lighting of the canned food menorah.

Sound Out Tap Company will perform Rhythms of ChristmasNorth Pole Secrets for three nights this month.

ancers will share the secrets of the North Pole through dance this holiday season. Sound Out Tap Company Artistic Director and Choreographer, Alyson Meador, will once again bring the excitement of Christmas to life with her holiday extravaganza, Rhythms of ChristmasNorth Pole Secrets. Each season Sound Out presents an original holiday production for locals and this year will be no different. Join the award winning tap dance company, as they take a secret journey through Santas village at the holiday season and find out whos really in charge of the North Pole magic. This is our seventh season performing a holiday production, Meador said. People walk out saying our performance made their season. It gets you in the right mood for the holidays. She said what separates Rhythms of Christmas from the traditional holiday dance performance of The Nutcracker ballet, is very quick tap movements. The performance is active and busy, she said. Its something new, different and uplifting. Also, its not all Christmas music. It has a variety of music, with a Christmas twist. Company performers are aged 11 to 18, said Meador. Alexis Taylan, 17, of El Dorado Hills, will perform in the upcoming

production. Each dance tells a story of a part of the North Pole, she said. This show is a blast. I love tapping and putting my dance into different roles and characters. This show is very entertaining. It really brings you into the Christmas magic of the season and it takes you through a magical journey to the North Pole. Grace Lambert, 12, of Folsom, will also perform in Rhythms of Christmas. I really like dancing because I express my personality with my feet, she said. With tap I make music with my feet. I am planning to be a dance instructor when I grow up. I just really love to dance. Lambert said she hopes people come out

Sutter Street Theatre

I often refer to these folks as the busiest little theater in the region, and for good reason. After wrapping multiple productions in November, they launch right into a new slate of shows. Holiday in the Hills, their annual tradition, pokes fun at figures plucked right from the history books of Folsom, including an editor of The Folsom Telegraph, Peter J. Hopper. Directed by Connie Mockenhaupt with musical direction by John Wilder, the show promises a few laughs along the way. Set in late 1800s in Folsom, this show features musical favorites and skits of the season with characters that either lived in or visited Folsom during the period, their press release states.

Join Madeline and the 11 other little girls along with Mrs. Clavel, Monsieur Brun, Harsha, Mrs. Murphy and a very live little mouse on an adventure that takes them flying on magic carpets, singing delightful songs, and being reunited with their families for the Christmas season, or so the press release states. Performances are 1 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, Dec. 8-30 with special weekday performances at 4 p.m. Dec.

Vocal ensemble to sing this season

BY MARGARET SNIDER

Seven of the nine singers of the Folsom Gold Vocal Ensemble rehearse at founder Bob Nathans home in Folsom, with piano accompaniment by music director Fred Weber.

here is nothing like music to evoke the warm feelings and delights of the holiday season. The Folsom Gold Vocal Ensemble will fill that role during a special Christmas concert. The concert will perform at 3 p.m. and at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 16, at Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Folsom. The group is composed of nine musicians most residing in Folsom, who have dedicated their attention and efforts to music and the arts. A lot of us are connected through music in the area, and we just thought it would be fun to get together and sing some

new arrangements, said Fred Weber, the groups music director, who taught music in schools from elementary to university level, was at Sierra College for 20 years and head of the music department. At the concert, the ensemble will perform renditions of both secular

and religious Christmas songs. Manager Bob Nathan, who conceived the group, said that with the Christmas music they try to evoke the feelings of the past, the memories that give you chills at the same time that you recall and feel the warmth. Besides Weber, who conducts, and manager Nathan, who also sings, the members of the ensemble are: Joyce Scolnick, Debby Weber, Kathi Davi, Lori Wolfley, Trish Erickson, Jeff Bader, Bob Schamber, and H. Daniel OLaughlin. Virtually all of them agree that their music brings pleasure not only to their audiences, but also to themselves. Singing brings me

pure joy, said soprano singer Debby Weber. When you are singing I think you experience the music on a deeper level. Tenor singer Jeff Bader said that he gets great satisfaction out of knowing that we have put together something that is making an audience smile. Wolfley, who sings alto, says that singing gives her confidence and helps to keep her brain sharp. It makes my heart happy when Im sharing this beautiful music with my talented fellow singers and our wonderful audiences, Wolfley said. Other singers echo the sentiments, along with the feeling of friendship that builds as a result of the association. Some of these folks are old friends, alto Davi said. But most Ive met since we formed Folsom Gold, and Ive come to love them and consider them friends. I think that relationship comes out as we sing together. Many of the performers have been in local singing groups including the Sacramento Choral Society, the Sierra Community Chorus, and are also experienced in musical theater. Most have been heavily involved with music and performing throughout their lives, as well as being active in other professions. Nathan is a concert and event emcee; singer, actor, director and producer of local theater, and has performed dozens of leading roles including a portrayal of Groucho Marx. Some of the members have been associated in the past through also through their children who, said Nathan, tend to be overachievers. Weve had our kids involved in various aspects of our performances, as well, from singing to choreography, to instrumentals, to techie and roadie things, Nathan said. The main standards for their group would serve equally well for life as a whole. He said the main criterion was not to have any drama, in the sense of creating difficulties. And after that, said Nathan, Lets see how good we can get. For tickets or more information about the group, visit mountoliveartscouncil.tix.com or e-mail BobNathan@ yahoo.com.

New pub 36Handles to pour on fun

BY LAURA NEWELL

FOLSOM LAKE ENTERTAINER

n December, expect to enjoy a flavorful beer and a tasty nibble in the new Europeaninspired pub nestled in the heart of El Dorado Hills. Richard Righton, owner of Bidwell Street Bistro in Folsom and Relish Burger Bar in El Dorado Hills, will open a new pub called 36Handles in December. The pub will open in the shuttered Irish Pub Kinnee OReillys in the Montano de El Dorado center in El Dorado Hills. Kinnee OReillys closed

its doors in August. Its no secret that Im an Englishman and so I love a good pub, Righton said. I walked in the doors and wanted this pub. Its just perfect and very beautifully built and designed. Everything from the woodwork to the metals inside is done very well its just a beautiful building. Following his reputations in his other two restaurants, Righton said the pub will feature a variety of nibbles or appetizers, and full meals including salads, sandwiches and rustic pub fare.

We will offer a lot of California-inspired food options and are healthy, he said. But we will also have some pub favorites that are a bit heavier like our shepards pie. Our signature dish will be the fish and chips. The pub will also feature a variety of drinks including 36 beers on tap, bottled beer, hard cider, wines and a full bar. Ive learned beer is the new wine, Righton said. We will have tasters available for people to try new and different flavors. Its a lot of fun. Righton plans to open 36Handles at the begin-

ning of December with a soft opening prior. We have this unbelievably beautiful building for the pub, its really a wow, Righton said. So now, I need to put a wow on the table. This is a fun, family restaurant as well as a pub to just sit and drink beer. People will really feel relaxed and comfortable when coming here. We have something for everyone. The new pub will also offer 75 new jobs for the community, said Righton. For more information, e-mail them at edhpub@gmail.com.

Gayleen Pellicano started working on the decorations at her Serrano home in the beginning of November. This will be her first year on the El Dorado Hills Tour.

Tour holiday-theme homes

BY PENNE USHER

he first two weekends in December is the time to get out and tour Folsom and El Dorado Hills homes, since they are decked out for the holiday season. Gayleen Pellicano started working on the decorations at her Serrano home in the beginning of November. This will be her first year on the El Dorado Hills Tour. She is no stranger to what it takes to deck out several rooms with Christmas trees, glittering lights, garland and Santas. Ive done tours before when we lived in Chicago and Missouri, Pellicano said. Its almost become a tradition. A rotating tree filled with gleaming glass ornaments sits near the fireplace decked with stockings. A second tree adorns the family room, another in the guest room and yet another in the kitchen. A life-sized carved rocking horse adds to the holiday dcor in the office. Pellicano has collected numerous decorations throughout the years including a large collection of Santas. Its a running theme,

Each home will have a story teller sharing holiday stories, Brown said. We will have bands playing, a harpist and a five piece Jazz band all at different homes. Proceeds from the El

The homes on this tour date back to the mid1850s. Asay-Skiles said all of the stops on the tour have history behind them. This tour is not only for those that enjoy holiday decorations, but history and architect buffs as well, she said. Refreshments will be served at the museum and some Sutter Street merchants will be offering shopping discounts to those that have tickets from the home tour.

for our community to celebrate the magic of the holiday season while supporting our wonderful Zoo animals. The sanctuary opened in 1963 with a mission of providing shelter to animals that were injured or orphaned in the wild, or raised and rejected as wild pets. More than 80 animals, including tigers, bears, sheep, deer, monkeys, foxes and wolves, reside at the Zoo Sanctuary. According to Hilton, approximately 8,000 viewed lights last year at the sanctuary. The zoo is so charming, and once we light up the walkways and exhibits it makes it so intimate, it introduces new people to the zoo for people who may not have visited the zoo before, Hilton said. Its a wonderful holiday event that fun for the family. She said another reason to take advantage of these special evening hours at the zoo is to see the animals at night. Wolves and foxes are always very curious of people walking around in the evening, she said. We can also hear the owls hoot sometimes during the night, so its a different experience than visiting during the day. Its a nice date night for teens and couples as well as a family outing. It really offers a neat experience for all age groups. Visitors can view the holiday lights from 5 to 8 p.m., Dec. 7-9 and Dec. 14-23. Admission is $5 per person, with no fee for children under two years. The Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary is located in City Lions Park on Stafford Street, behind the Folsom Public Library.

Preston Castle towers above Ione on this trip

he Preston Castle, listed on the U. S. Register of Historic Places, was once known as the Preston School of Industry is located on a hill in Ione. From anywhere around Folsom Lake, traveling over to Ione is a great day trip. The Preston Castle was formerly one of the oldest and best-known reform schools in the United States. It is currently being operated through a foundation and open for tours the first Saturday of the month and a couple Thursdays a month, please check their website for current tour schedules. There are those who claim the castle is haunted by former wards as well as the spirit of a housekeeper, Anna Corbin, who was supposedly bludgeoned to death the in the 1950s. The property was featured in an episode of the Travel Channels Ghost Adventures with Zak Bagans. A good day trip even to walk through the grounds and photograph the castle from the outside is worth the drive. It stands high on a hill in Ione and is an architectural marvel. In 1890, the 230-acre parcel of land on which the castle stands was purchased from the Ione Coal and Iron Company for $30 per acre with 100 acres donated. The land was purchased to house the school of industry, established by the California State Legislature as a progres-

sive action toward rehabilitating juvenile offenders. The bricks for the building were made at Folsom Prison, as well as San Quentin, using sandstone that was quarried a few miles from Ione. The cornerstone of the building was laid on Dec. 23 in 1890. Plans for the school were very ambitious showing 77 rooms on five floors and being one of the most significant examples of Romanesque Revival architecture in the area. The institution was opened in June of 1894 when seven minors under the guardianship of the state were transferred there. The following year electricity was installed, provided by a water wheel powered by dynamos for incandescent and arc lights. The building was vacated in 1960 and later the abandoned building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Original plans called for a reception area and a directors room, general offices, sitting room, butlers pantry, dining room, doctors office, pharmacy as well as additional offices. A small museum is housed in one of these rooms currently. A number of former Preston wards are featured in the museum including Eddie Anderson, best known for his role as Rochester in Jack Bennys radio and television programs, Don Jordon, who joined the boxing program at Preston and later

went on to become the world welter-weight champion. Another familiar name is Merle Haggard, famous country and western singer, whose file carried the notes, he likes to sing and play the guitar. Other areas in the various levels include a reading room, library, numerous chambers, a school room, coat room, water closet, dormitory, locker room and linen room. The basement would include a play room, laundry, pantry, furnace room, bakery, fuel storage room, kitchen, storeroom and areas for employees services. Phil Thatcher became active in prison ministry and penned an autobiography, Under Arrest, and was granted a full pardon by Gov. Earl Warren. Caryl Chessman became a celebrity author while he served on death row in the 1950s. The Preston Castle Foundation received a 50-year lease in 2001 and the castle is currently being restored. The tour takes visitors through many of these rooms and areas and describes in detail the castle and its influence on the area. Public tours are scheduled the first and third Saturday and now the second and fourth Thursday of every month, March through October 6. No reservations are required. Cost of the tour is $10 for adults, $5 for age 12 and under and free for children under 5 years old.

FOLSOM LAKE ENTERTAINER DECEMBER 2012
BY MATT LONG

FOLSOM LAKE ENTERTAINER

unday, Dec. 2 will mark the 30th start of the California International Marathon in Folsom. Though the participants are only in Folsom for a brief time, the annual race draws more people than any other event held in the city; bigger than the rodeo, bigger than Folsom Live and Cyclebration or the Folsom International Triathlon. So whats it like at the starting line with 10,000plus people getting ready to run a 26.2-mile race to the state capitol? With that number of people with that much adrenaline, its pretty exciting. Denis Zilaff, one of 12 runners to compete in all 29 previous marathons, knows the atmosphere.

CALIFORNIA INTERNATIONAL MARATHON

When: 7 a.m. Dec. 2 Where: Folsom-Auburn
Road to the state capitol

Who: 14,000 participants Info: runcim.org

Forty percent of the starters are first-timers and they are all so jazzed, Zilaff said. Theyve done all this training and being there for the first time they have all this nervous energy. You can feel it; its almost like static electricity. Folsom High teacher Jean Cavanaugh, and students from the Interact Club, have been volunteering at the starting line for several years. The group is asked to perform various duties, from

guarding the tents where the elite runners prepare for the race to loading runner bags onto a truck. When we get there at 5:30 a.m. its dark, but once the runners start arriving the thrill of the event begins, said Cavanaugh, who is an adviser for the Interact Club. As the street starts filling, its a wonder that over 10,000 people are arriving in such a short time period. Folsom High senior and the Interact Club Vice President Jennifer Lee also enjoys volunteering at the starting line. I get to meet people from all over who are dedicated to running, Lee said. Its an amazing experience to see everyone gathered together to take part in the

marathon, and its a real privilege to be asked to work the start line. The opportunity to be a part of such an event is not only a thrill, but an honor as well. This is an opportunity for students to see a Folsom event that is on the largest scale we can possibly participate in, Cavanaugh said. As the start of the race nears, the energy level

picks up even more. The music and the announcer get everyone hyped up, then the countdown begins, Zilaff said. When the gun goes off theres a big scream from all the runners, who are all hooting and hollering. For someone whos run it as many times as I have, its always fun to watch people and talk to them. The first-timers dont know what to expect.

Zilaff said people generally settle down and get into the race three to five miles in. The crowd definitely helps motivate you, especially late in the race when everything hurts, Zilaff said. The crowd pulls you along and gives you energy. When you get to mile 26 its packed with people and its hard to get through, but its a great experience.

SHOPPING: Cigars could be option for guys, art work for others on gift list
continued from 23 men in your life, one option may be unique cigars hand-rolled in El Dorado Hills. Art of Cigars, 2222 Francisco Drive in El Dorado Hills, is a cigar and wine lounge offering a variety of cigars, accessories and other items. You can enjoy a hand rolled cigar and a glass of wine, said owner Eric Stanion. We also have a variety of other cigar accessories; I guess you can call it guy stuff. We have two rollers that roll for us and we bring in good name brand cigars from around the nation. One unique gift this holiday season might be their newly launched Cigar Marine package, said Stanion. The Cigar Marine package has two different cigars, a spice rum cigar and a dual wrap torpedo wrapped in two different types of leaves, he said. The package comes in a camouflaged travel humidor. A portion of the proceeds go to the Semper Fi Fund that supports wounded marines and their families. The Cigar Marine comes in a variety of
packages, ranging in price from $59 to $130. Individual cigars are also on sale for $15. For more information on Art of Cigars, call (916) 939-1855. For the bargain hunters looking to find a unique gift this year, The Marketplace recently moved from its Rancho Cordova location to Folsom. Its new location is now open on 1325 Riley St., Folsom. The Marketplace offers a variety of vendors to shop through all under one roof. Currently, there are about 70 vendors to walk through including local authors who can showcase their books. Rosemary Archie owns La Rosa Fine Furnishings and Collectibles, a vendor within The Marketplace. I come from a large family of siblings, so I have always been more a thrifty-type shopper. But I only like unique and quaint items, Archie said. I work to collect quality not quantity, so as a vendor in my area of The Marketplace, I carry anything from small furniture items like a bistro table and chairs, to vintage crystal and beaded crystal. I like to seek things that are one-of-akind. I also carry distinctive evening bags, very different than what you would find at a department store. Archie said she buys all of her vendor items at bay area thrift stores and estate sales. She said a favorite find in her shop is a solid bronze statue of a Ribbon Dancer priced at $400. I purchased the dancer statue at an estate sale and think it is beautiful, she said. It would really make a distinctive gift for someone special. For stocking stuffers, she suggests shopping through her collection of vintage jewelry ranging in prices from $1 to $40. For more information on The Marketplace, call (916) 984-4220. For the artist in the family, American Visions Gallery in Folsom offers a unique experience for any art lover. Owner Giovanna Stark has had the full service art gallery, on Sutter Street in Folsom, for 10 years. We do everything from custom frames to helping customers decide what art is best for their home or business, she said. The gallery also offers art classes to growing artists. We have very in depth art classes with notable artists and celebrities in the gallery, said Stark. We also provide traveling art classes for students to learn in other locations including Tuscany, Italy and Carmel. We really want to help our students grow and expand as artists, so we require our students to have a desire to learn. She said a once-in-alifetime gift for a couple would be a Tuscany painting class and sightseeing trip in Italy. The trip includes painting classes in Tuscany, restaurant options and wine tasting. The next trip availably is in March or October. The gallery also has a variety of options for smaller gifts including artwork form worldrenowned artists ranging in prices from $15 to $34,000. The gallery offers both originals and prints in both paper and canvas. Stark suggests purchasing specialty playing cards with prints on the back for a quick stocking stuffer. For more information, call American Visions Gallery at (916) 351-1623.
