Western Wear
By Rachel Zirin | Photos by menka Belgal
Its time to cowboy and cowgirl up for the summer and
Handleys has what you need.
The western store opened in 1961 and is still standing
strong with men and womens western wear.
Current owners Grace Rittenhouse and Julie Spitler are
two of five grandchildren of original owners Donella
and Chet Handley. The two cousins were the only ones
that never left and wanted to take it on long term, Julie
said.
Our grandfather was in World War II and our grandmother was a bookkeeper, Grace said. Between the
two of them, they knew the shoe business and Folsom
seemed like a good places to be. So Grandma and
Grandpa opened a mercantile to sort of fit the needs

of the working man, which sort of goes with the

whole western thing.
The way Handleys evolved as a store was from all
of the customer feedback and the best of the best
products they would hear about for all of the local
needs, Julie said.
Back in the day, Handleys was a working mans
store, but they have honed it into a western store,
Grace said. Now, the store is half men and half
women, she said.
Not only does the western store sell clothing, but
they also sell boots and hats, and they will fit it
right to your foot and head size.
Julie is a super talented hat shaper, Grace said.
Hat shaping is a big thing in our business.
The boots are so fun and cute and super comfortable, Julie said.
We havent really changed anything about the
store, Grace said. We handwrite here. Grandma
taught us to count back change and we still do
that.
Everything in the store is a little piece of history,
Julie said.

There are little notes on the walls and signs

around the store that we have never taken down,
Julie said. We never want to paint the walls because we dont want to change that sort of stuff.
The cousins still try to buy as much American-made products, which is a big deal for them,
Julie said. The type of items Handleys carries
include clothes, hats, belts, boots, ties and jewelry.
We have things that you would find at a costume shop except we have the real thing, Grace
said. We have a lot of things that you probably
wouldnt find anywhere else nearby.
Boots are the stores more popular item. They have
hard-to-fit sizes.
All sizes from tiny to large that would usually
need to be special ordered, we have them, Julie

said. We are also a big and tall specialty store. We have a size 60 waist
all the way to a womans 00.
The store is the cousins little hub, Julie said. If they are going to a concert or out to dinner, they always met at the store first, she said.
Julies favorite part about the store is the people, she said.
I absolutely love the people, she said. I love that we know everyone. I
feel like everyone is always happy when they come in. We have amazing customers.
The store closes at 6 p.m., but if a customer is running late or they need
to pick something up a little later, Grace and Julie will stay and wait,
Julie said.
We will go above and beyond for the people who come in here because they are definitely worth it, she said.
All of our customers have been so loyal, Julie said. When things shift
or change, we have known so many people for so long and everyone is
so happy that we continued the business because it was tradition for all
of us. We have been open 55 years and were still family owned.

Whether you are seeking supplies for your pets and animals,
western wear or a cute top to wear to an upcoming country
concert, Lees Feed and Western Store has it all.
Opened in 1980 by Mike and Susan Lee, the versatile Shingle
Springs store has been passed down to the next generation
in the family. Current owners Tegan Lee and Cori Avila had
worked in the store for many years until they took it over in
the early 2000s.
We started carrying clothing in 2001, but it was all very western clothes that Cori and I didnt wear so we started talking
about expanding with clothes that werent so western, but with
a little western flare, Lee said.
The sisters-in-law opened the boutique section a year ago and
have been having fun with it.
We do know a lot about horses because we have worked here
forever, but we are not really horse people, she said. Now we
June 2016 | 9

are into clothing and fashion so were

just having a good time with it.
The type of clothing they sell in the
boutique section include jeans, dresses,
casual tops, boots, purses and accessories.
We have things that you could easily
add a pair of western boots, a cowboy
hat and jean jacket and call it western,
Lee said. A lot of our items are crossover, but with a little bit of a western
flare.
Some brands sold at the store include
Rock Revival, Blu Pepper, Rock and
Roll Cowgirl, Angie, Silver Jeans and
Wrangler Jeans, she said.
Lees favorite thing about the store is
helping her customers shop, she said.
Its so much fun because I love shopping and I love helping people shop.
The ladies really appreciate it too, Lee
said. Sometimes you come in and you
are looking for a pair of jeans. You see
this wall of jeans, you get overwhelmed
and you just dont want to deal with
it. We will help you and put you in
a dressing room and throw a bunch
of different things at you with your
size. It really takes the guessing work
out of it. Its fun being like a personal
shopper.
Smooth operation: Cori Avila, Tegan Lee and Tegans husband, Jeff (not
pictured) run the clothing store alongside a handful of managers.
The age of shoppers range from teenagers to 60 years of age, she said.
I had a lady come in here the other day and she said, I just wanted to tell
you that I appreciate that you dont just have everything for teenagers and
20-somethings. I like this style and I feel like I might be too old for some
things, but you have things for all ages.
Lee and Avila said they are always there to help their customers, no matter
what it is.
Other than trendy clothing, Lees Feed and Western Store also has supplies for
fencing, cats, dogs, birds, fish, horses, ducks, livestock feed, pet food and much
more.

Folsom Pro Rodeo is one of

Californias longest running
traditions and a patriotic favorite
Annual Pro Rodeo

begins new preevent tradition
with the Folsom
Family Round Up
By Bill Sullivan
By Bill Sullivan | Photos Special to the Entertainer

For over half a century, the Folsom Pro Rodeo has been entertaining spectators from Folsom and afar
in the popular Dan Russell Arena at Rodeo park which is nestled on the hillside between the American River and Folsoms business district. Once again, its that time of year to don your ten-gallon hat
and patriotic apparel and plan a visit to the latest version of one Californias longest running events.
Entering its 56th year, this years Folsom Pro Rodeo will once again offer a high dose of non-stop
action to thrill all ages. From patriotic tributes and outstanding fireworks to bucking bulls and mutton
busting, there is something for everyone at this great family event that is set for a three-day run on
July 2, 3 and 4. In addition to the traditional rodeo entertainment, this years Pro Rodeo event will
feature high-flying motocross shows by the Flying Cowboys, live music and much anticipated appearances by world champion bull jumpers.
From the time the gates open each night, this event is a celebration of America as fans will struggle
to stay dry-eyed as a huge American flag drops into the arena by parachute with patriotic music each
evening in honor of Independence Day. The patriotism continues from beginning to end, right down
to the colorful fireworks that will light up the sky just as the last cowboy or cowgirl exits the arena
each night. The Flying Cowboys, motocross experts, will test the limit of the arena by flying as high as
possible with flips and turns.
Traditional rodeo events which will churn up the small, but action-packed arena include bull riding,
bronc riding, barrel racing and more. Five- and 6-year-old cowboys and cowgirls will do their best to
cling on woolly sheep in the mutton busting competition. When it comes to viewing the Rodeo at
Continued on Page 16
Over the last two years, the

traditional cattle drive through the
streets of Historic Folsom which
traditionally preluded the annual
Folsom Rodeo, was canceled due to
extremely high temperatures that
made it unpleasant for families to
enjoy. However, this year, the Folsom Pro Rodeo has added a brand
new event to replace the annual
cattle drive that has much more
cool amenities to offer for Rodeo
fans and residents of all ages.
Its being bannered at the Folsom
Family Round Up and everyone
is invited to come out and enjoy
the shade at the Folsom Lions City
Park on Friday night, July 1 for this
free event featuring up-close and
personal fun with the stars of the
Folsom Pro Rodeo.
The event will feature an menagerie
of activities, among them will be
the opportunity to have a family
picture taken with a unique long
horn steer. Nuzzle a mare and her
foal. Get autographs from the stars
of the Folsom Pro Rodeo from the
high-flying motocross stars to world
champion bull jumpers. There will
be live music from country music
band Locked and Loaded. This is
a fun, family-friendly way to kick off
the Folsom Pro Rodeo which begins
Saturday, July 2.
This event gives families the
opportunity to enjoy live music, get
autographs from the cowboys, get
up close and personal with rodeo
animal stars, said Joe Gagliardi,
Folsom Chamber CEO. The cattle
June 2016 | 15

drive was great, however this event

will give us a new way to share the
rodeo excitement and give families
another fun, free community event.
With warm temperatures almost a
guarantee during rodeo time, officials are adding a cool perk to the

Dan Russell Arena, there isnt a bad seat in the house as fans are up close to the action with nearly
every ticket.
In one of this years exciting features of the rodeo will be professional bull jumping. Frenchmen
Manu Lataste and Cristian Serra Gonzales will show off their athletic talent during the Folsom Pro
Rodeo. Bull Jumping is a sport directly linked to southwestern French tradition called Course Landaise. Four-year-old Mexican fighting bulls are used for bull jumping. In every performance, at least
two bull fighters are also in the ring to assure the safety of participants. During the five-minute act,
there will be more than 15 jumps and maneuvers. Lataste is a former world champion in the sport
and Gonzales is a professional bull jumper who has competed in Spain for more than 10 years.
The gates open at 6 p.m. Rodeo action begins nightly this year at a slightly later time of 7:30 p.m. to
give fans time to find their seats and enjoy the food and beverages found in the Cool Down Corral
before all the action they dont want to miss begins. Just as the fireworks conclude each night the
party continues as Mikes Golden Spike Saloon will heat up with dance music by the Dave Russell
Band. Admittance to the saloon is free for rodeo fans and dancing is encouraged.
Fans will have the opportunity of sitting ringside to the bucking chutes and not missing a minute of
the action in the Corral Club seating area. Seats in this area is $49.50 and include no-host beverage/
food service. Reserved rodeo tickets are $26.50. General admission is $21.50 for adults or $15.50 for

the exception of general admission tickets, all other tickets/packages are only available online and a
service fee applies. General Admission tickets are available at the Folsom Chamber of Commerce,

Cameron Park Observatory lets public spy nebulas, galaxies
Each celestial picture featured in this article was taken by docents at the
Cameron Park Rotary Club Community Observatory. These are the some
of images that have been captured in real time for members of the
community to enjoy. The expense, time, and expertise required create
this opportunity is all donated by people who love the beauty, majesty
and science of space enough to bring it down to us.
By Aaron Darling | Photo are special to the Entertainer

In 2005 the Rotary Club of Cameron Park wanted to host a special event for the
community. Most observatories are scientific labs that have an occasional night
opened for public viewing. Long lines and short opportunities for viewing the wonders of space often make these events a lot of effort for very little individual benefit.
The Rotary Club decided to fill that void. Together with land from EDCO and
Folsom Lake College and additional funding from Intel and other generous sources,
the club opened an observatory specifically for the public.
The lead docent, Charlie Coburn, met me on a clear night with two other volunteers,
Christina Adams and Olen Whitson to show the capabilities of the observatory.
When I asked him what inspired the construction of the facility and what motivated
his own volunteer efforts, he gave me the same answer for both questions.
In a galaxy far, far away: Charlie Coburn

Observatory (photo by Aaron Darling).

Its that wow moment when they see something with their own eyes theyve never
seen before, he said.
That wow moment means the world to the docents. Theyve shown that person
something they didnt know they could experience for themselves and inspired them
to want to know more.
Every weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so long as weather permits, the docents
gather at the observatory after sunset to show off the beauty of space. There is no fee
for admittance and anyone is welcome. The observatory houses two large telescopes
which operate independently of one another. A 17-inch reflective telescope with
interchangeable optical lenses allows the viewer to see distant galaxies and nebulas
with their own eyes. A 14-inch telescope with a high resolution digital sensor and a
condensing/correcting lens captured the images featured in this article. By stacking
dozens of images taken in short exposures in real time, the viewer can see all of the

layers that make up a celestial object from the individual stars that make up a
nebula to the grand and colorful cloud of dust and gases that we are familiar
from textbooks and magazines. Occasionally, visitors get to see a supernova (an
exploding star) that has appeared in a distant galaxy. These events typically only
last only a few days or weeks making them a rare opportunity.
Just a short walk from the observation structure is two tiered, large concrete bowl
sunk into the earth angled to give the observer a comfortable and clear view of
he heavens. Docents give regular sky tours of the constellations and educational
astronomy. From here visitors can relax and enjoy an unobstructed view of the
night sky often seeing passing satellites in addition to the millions of stars.
On the first Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to noon the observatory hosts
a solar observation with purpose-built solar telescopes and filters. Both white
light and hydrogen-alpha scopes are available allowing visitors to view not only
sunspot arrays, but also the vast solar flares erupting from the suns surface. These
Solar Saturdays also feature a kids zone with solar powered radio-controlled
type race cars and space-themed art activities. All events put on by the observatory have elements for both adults and children.
Markarians Chain Galaxy
In June and July there are a host of amazing nighttime sights. Saturn and Jupiter
will both be visible, as well as a number of nebulas including the Ring Nebula
and both the Andromeda galaxy (our nearest neighbor) and the Whirlpool
galaxy (featured above). An exhaustive list of the sights available during the next
two months would be excessive here, but the famous Pillars of Creation will also
be visible and, if the timing is right, the International Space Station as it passes
overhead.
Friday through Sunday the Observatory is open to the public after sunset for
about two hours or so. The rest of the week it is open to scheduled events for
groups who would like to come. The observatory is an instrument and so not an
appropriate place for birthday parties and bounce houses, but groups of families,
school groups, scouting, churches, businesses, etc, are welcome to schedule an
observation evening by calling the El Dorado County Office of Education.
The tools necessary for celestial observation at this level are more often than
not out of reach for the average family or organization and so the Rotary Club
of Cameron Park has generously created this facility for everyones benefit. The
opportunity to see the wonders of nature, so far removed from home, is priceless
and youll never know what youre missing until you discover it for yourself.

Readers
choice
In Folsom Telegraphs annual Best

of the Best contest, residents chose
as their favorite place to get a
burger, tying for first place: Relish
Burger Bar and Burger Hut.
Some of their popular burgers

include the Bordeaux burger, Relish Western burger and the Napa
Valley American Kobe burger,
Tatham said.
Burger Hut is a family owned business based in Chico,

but we moved our restaurants in this direction because of
our Chico alumni, said Rick Kusie, co-owner. Customers
wanted certain things on their burgers, so we let them do it
themselves at our condiment bar. We cook it, and they get to
top it!
At the condiment bar you have the choice of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, peppers, barbecue sauce and the secret
family recipe dipping sauce, Kusie said.
Our burgers are freshly ground natural beef and are cooked
to order, he said. We flame broil the patties and the customer has the option to have it cooked with barbecue sauce. We
have 11 different kinds of cheeses we can put on the burger
and you also have the option to add guacamole. There are a
bunch of option we can do at the grill.
A new addition to Burger Hut is during the month of June,
customers will be able to order online and then pick up their
meal in the restaurant, Kusie said.
We are not just a normal burger place, we have high-quality
food at a value price, he said.

The Entertainers Guide to July Fourth Fireworks Venues

By Bill Sullivan | Photos are special to the Entertainer
For centuries, America has celebrated Independence Day with
fireworks in some fashion, from the backyard to the super stadiums and everything in between. So why do we spend this holiday
witnessing colorful explosions in the sky? Its simple, because John
Adams told us to.
Thats right. Hours before signing the Declaration of Independence, the second President of the United States made it clear
what the July Fourth Holiday should always entail. Adams wrote
in a letter to First Lady Abigail Adams, that this holiday shall
include illuminations from one end of the Continent to the other
from this time forever more. The next day, the first ever commemorative fireworks were launched and the rest, is just history.
Today, Adams would be pleased with the way our region celebrates this upcoming holiday. Folsom and its surrounding communities have numerous Independence Day celebrations to choose
from. The Folsom Lake Entertainer has detailed several area
events that should fit into your holiday plans this year. Heres a
few options.
In Folsom
In Folsom, the 56th Annual Folsom Pro Rodeo offers

a great fireworks display at the conclusion of Rodeo
competition July 2, 3 and of course the grand finale on

The best viewing of the fireworks is in the arena itself
and nightly admission tickets stat at $21.50 for adults
and $15.50 for children. Spectators will be treated
an evening of thrilling Rodeo action complete with
fanfare and patriotism. When the last cowboy rides out
of the stadium the fireworks begin with both ground
level and aerial displays just after dark. The aerial
displays can be seen from various vantage points
outside of the arena and throughout Folsom, including
nearby Lions Park. For more information on this option

If you are looking for fresh food and local products, it is time to take a visit to a farmers market.
In the Folsom and El Dorado Hills areas, there are four different markets you can choose to
attend.
Folsom Historic District
From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday, the largest farmers market in the area is located in the plaza
of the Historic District of Folsom. The market happens rain or shine, year round.
We offer certificated farmers and organic farmers, said Marie Hall, co-founder and chief executive officer of the Living Smart Foundation. We have farmers from Sacramento County and as
far south as the Bay Area, but everything has to be local.
With as many as 80 vendors during May through October and 60 during winter, there are many
different items to choose from.
We have all different kinds of items, Hall said. About 70 percent of the market is local farmers,
20 percent are gourmet foods and 10 percent are items that can be used in the kitchen.
5/26/16 3:15 PM
Some of these items for purchase include fruits and vegetables,

specialty foods such as beef jerky, jam and barbecue sauce, and
household items for the kitchen such as aprons and pottery, Hall
said.
During the market there are also special events that happen
throughout the morning. Some of these events include chef
demonstrations, Chef Meet and Eat which only happens three
times a year, the Peach Festival and the Tomato Taste Off.
The more popular booth is Cal Ranch because there are so many
different tomatoes, Hall said. There are about eight different
varieties, and that is unique to one farmer. They have basic table
tomatoes, but then they have green, red and zebra tomatoes.
coolidge road
The second farmers market in Folsom is a seasonal market from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays, located at 605 Coolidge Road.
el dorado Hills toWn center
In El Dorado Hills there are also two farmers markets. The large
market is from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Sunday from May through
October in Town Center, starting right in front of Sellands Market-Caf.
We have farmers that come from Turlock and all the way from
Marysville and the rest are local, said Jim Coalwell, manager and
founder of the nonprofit El Dorado County Certified Farmers
Market Association. We have large growers for fruits and vegetables such as peaches, cherries, apples, nectarines. You name it,
we have just about everything! They have all different varieties of
colors and flavors.
Other than local farmers, there are also local pre-made specialty
foods which include tamales, fresh fish, kettle corn, Indian food,
trues and chocolate candy. The food sold at the market is not
meant to be eaten in Town Center, but taken home so it doesnt
take away business from the local shops in Town Center, Coalwell
said.
The layout of the market is beautiful with the lake in the background and the birds flying, Coalwell said. It is a really pretty spot
and fits very nice in Town Center.
This market is also open rain or shine and it doesnt matter what
the weather is because they do not close it down for any reason,
Coalwell said.
el dorado Hills community center
The second market is El Dorado Hills is a much smaller market
with only 12 to 14 vendors, compared to the Town Center market
that holds 50 to 55 vendors. The smaller market is from 8 a.m. to
12 p.m. every Thursday from June through August located at the
El Dorado Hills Community Center, in the park area, he said. This

El Dorado County Fair
Its all about

Cowboys and Carousels
at El Dorado County Fair
By Bill Sullivan | Photos are special to the Entertainer
Life isnt always candy, cowboy boots and horses, but it should be according to the El Dorado County Fair that roars into action later this month.
Carrying the theme of Cowboys and Carousels, the 2016 version of
this local classic event opens its entry gates on June 16 and concludes on
Fathers Day, June 19.
Operating in its current location since 1939, the EL Dorado Country Fair
is a tradition in the Sierra Foothills, drawing families from throughout
the region to one of more of its action-packed, four-day run in the heart
of Placerville. Located in the heart of a town that is rich in the history of
the Gold Rush, this years El Dorado County Fair carries a theme that is
close to its heart and heritage and a schedule of events that has been well
planned and sure to entertain all ages.
For me, planning the fair the most exciting time of the year, I just love it,
said Jody Gray, El Dorado County Fair CEO. I see so many people that I
know from communities in El Dorado County and beyond at this fair, its
like a wedding or a reunion. Its a huge party for all of us.
Sticking to a favorite : Corndogs are remain popular at the county fair.
Topping the party at the fair this year is well-planned entertainment for
the Cowboy and Carousels theme that will be headlined with a fair share
of country music talent. Fairgoers will enjoy the tunes of top country stars
performed by the County Artists Tribute, a threesome tribute band that
performs the hits of Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean and Toby Keith. When
it comes to tribute bands, this popular trio has the sound, the moves and
definitely looks of the famed cowboy superstars in which they pay tribute to.
These guys sound like the real deal, said Jody Gray, El Dorado County
Fair CEO. We saw them in the lobby at the fair convention last year and
one of my staff almost walked into a pole; she was staring so hard trying
to figure out if they were real or not
Country Artists Tribute will headline a long list of entertainment for this
years fair and will be performing on Friday night, June 17 at 9 p.m.
Another popular country act slated for this years fair will be Roget Hegyi,
known as True Willie a tribute to Willie Nelson. Hegyi resembles the
iconic country singer so much that many of his friends are convinced
the two were twins separated at birth. This is a must-see for any Willie
Nelson fan.
If country music isnt your thing, other genres of entertainment include
FBI, a tribute to the legends of Motown that pays homage to the Fathers
of Funk. This group is known for its on-target performance of hits by the
Temptations, The Four Tops, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, The Su-

premes and more. The FBI Band will be among many other
acts on stage throughout the four days, including a special
Legends of El Dorado event that will feature several music
legends of El Dorado County appearing with rock band The
Random Strangers.
Aside from the exciting music venues, the El Dorado County
Fair offers all of the traditional fare that comes with a county
fair in a community well known for its tourism, agriculture
and farm life. The popular 4-H Junior Livestock Auction will
give local youth the opportunity to shine and display their
yearlong work in raising prize cattle, sheep and more.
Action in the arena will include the Humpz and Hornz
Bullriding on Friday night followed by the Hometown
Speedway Challenge on Saturday night. This event features
locals completion on ATVs on an exciting obstacle course.
Did we say obstacle course? Yes we did and on Sunday, the
most famous obstacle course is that of the John M. Studebaker Wheelbarrow Races, a Fathers Day tradition at the El
Dorado County Fair.

While cowboys are a fair tradition, carousels are just as

much a part of the annual fair. This year in El Dorado
County a new improved carnival is one of the many
highlights. Paul Maurer Shows promises to bring plenty
of thrills. Among the attractions will be the Rock
Star, a ride that elevates riders 55 feet up in the air
on top of a flying platform before they undergo
a free-fall experience complete with a spectacular
light show. Additional rides include the 90-feet-tall
super shot, as well as some 30 traditional rides from
Ferris wheels to classic kiddie rides for all to enjoy.
The 2016 Cowboys and Carousels El Dorado

the smells and tastes that a old-fashioned fair brings
as well from cotton candy to funnel cakes and the all
American corn dogs. There is something for everyone
at this annual event later this month.

Ethan Russell
captured rock
stars the way
they were
Exhibit at Harris Center continues through July 10
By Matthew Whitley | Photos are special to the Entertainer
Hes been called the most famous photographer youve

never heard of, the greatest rock photographer of all
time, and according to one critic, one of the luckiest men
ever. Actually, all three statements are true. Ethan Russell,
photographer, filmmaker, and writer is all those things. He
is also the only photographer to shoot cover art for The
Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who, and be nominated for a Grammy for his work. His book, Let it Bleed,
is considered the defining book on the Rolling Stones and
itself has been called a work of art.
Born in New York but raised in California, he attended UC
Davis. Russell, who had studied art, was living in England
in 1968 when a buddy of his, a writer for a new publication
called Rolling Stone, saw a few of Russells images and
asked him to shoot pictures for an interview he was doing;
that man would be a singer named Mick Jagger. Within
months, Russell would find himself part of the Rolling
Stones American Tour in 1969 documenting the tour. Over
the next few years, Russell would go on to photograph every
major iconic singer of the late 60s to early 80s: The Beatles,
The Who; John Lennon and Yoko One, Ricki Lee Jones,
The Moody Blues, Cream, Eric Clapton, Janis Joplin, Traffic, Carlos Santana, The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, and many
others. In addition to still photography, Russell moved into
the music video genre and the direction of music images;
shooting videos for kd Lang, Paul Simon and Roseanne
Cash as well as the last footage of John and Yoko in Central
Park a week before he was murdered.
Russells work as an artist was really cemented during the
Stones American tour. Russell captured the raw energy of
the Stones live performances. Russells work is unique; one
gets a real sense of who that singer or performer is, not what
they wish to project. He notes how he photographed as
he did as a kid hunting on his grandparents farm, standing
perfectly still, waiting for bird and taking one or two shots.
As a photographer, that kind of photography lets people
be where I was, Russell notes, I didnt change anything. I
stood on the corners, I took pictures and I think they liked
me for that. I wasnt in their space, asking them to do stupid
things because I got to be in such incredible places like the
last Beatles concert on the roof, or the Stones tour 1969
5/26/16 3:15 PM
Morrison, Joplin thats such a cool thing to be able to

share.
Russell had a front-row to seat to the changing of the rock
scene. Russell notes how much the Rolling Stones touring
changed, spending six years writing a book on his experience on it called, Let it Bleed. For Russell, Altamont was
the end of the 60s. The world changed and you could
see it. Truman Capote travels with us its the turn into
the age of celebrity is whats happening. When Russell is
asked how we went from the Woodstock generation to the
Reagan culture he notes, first, that its a subject he wrote
on in his E-book, Ethan Russell: An American Story but
essentially he notes, television and the culture wars that
played out on TV. Its matters to me that we went from this
exuberant time, this explosive period to a point where were
so cynical nothing matters. How we did we get there?
Russell said much of music photography now is quick and
superficial. Its marketing photography. Its the star system.
The template is the American movie star system, Norma
Jean becomes Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe had nothing to do with Norma Jean. That behavior, that packaging
of humans into performing commodities kills them. Its
whats going on most of the time, yeah. Thats why its
pathetic most of the photography you see now because its
all about surface. Theres exceptions but most of what youre
looking at now is product photography. Theyre trying to
move product.
Russell said he took photos, that showed them living their
lives. And in my opinion, just by definition, theyre more
important because theyre more honest.
And honest they are, whether its John and Yoko standing in
the English countryside, sporting black capes, falling madly
in love, the last photos of Stones member, Brian Jones,
weeks before his drowning, or the Beatles dissolving as a
group at Abbey Road Studios before his lens. Fortunately,
we have Ethan Russells beautiful images to transport us
there to that now magical time when the counter culture
exploded and produced some of the most exciting and
engaging music of all time.
A collection of 70 images by Ethan Russell is being exhibited at the Harris Center through July 10. Prints will also be
available for purchase.
(The photos)
showed them living
their lives. And in
my opinion, just by

San Franciscos Ferry Building
Iconic turn-of-the-century landmark is rich in retail as rich in detail

By Bill sullivan | Photos By Bill sullivan
While the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake caused extensive

damage throughout the Bay Area, one positive outcome was
the revitalization of San Franciscos waterfront and the rebirth
of many tourist attractions along the historical port. One such
place, the famed Ferry Building, a must see when visiting San
Francisco.
The Ferry Building is an eye-opening structure that sits just
off the Embaracado at the base of Market Street. The building
is trademarked by its 245-foot-tall clock tower and dials that
are 22 feet in diameter and can be seen from several landmark
areas of the city. The structure has survived San Franciscos
major earthquakes, outlasting some of the citys other major
landmarks.
Originally built in 1898, the building was later renovated to
house both office space and unique retail and dining outlets to
increase tourism after a decline in everyday ferry use through
the years. After the extensive revitalization, the building
reopened in 2003 and now is home to many of areas hallmark
businesses outlets unique to the bay.
The Ferry Building is packed with many great eateries to please
all palates. Whether its fresh seafood, American fare, Asian
flavors or others, you can surely fulfill your cravings here during
a daytrip or while waiting to catch the ferry across the Bay.
One popular restaurant is Gotts Roadside in the
northwest corner of the building beneath their
iconic neon logo that illuminates the store
front. This is an outpost of the iconic roadside
burger stand in St. Helena known for their
handmade burgers and all-American diner
fare that can be enjoyed with a real ice
cream shake, Cabernet or a frosty brew.
For more upscale dining, the Slanted
offers an open space design and
floor to ceiling window that overlook the bay, this upscale dining
venue provides a spectacular
5/26/16 3:15 PM
atmosphere with an extensive menu of Vietnamese street food, complex

meat entres and more.
Hog Island Oyster Company now has seating for 130 guests in the Ferry
Building with outdoor seating that overlooks the bay and is ideal in warm
weather to dine on fresh oysters at the place that is the retail outlet for the
How Island Oyster Farm located in Tomales Bay.
Sharing a wall with Hog Island youll find the Golden Gate Meat Company that has a great history in the Bay. Owned and operated by several
generations of the local Offenbach family, this old-fashioned butcher shop
offers the finest of organic fresh meats that are worth the drive to purchase,
as well as daily breakfast, lunch and dinner specials right from their 40-foot
deli case that is a retail outlet to their wholesale locations in Richmond and
Santa Rosa which supply hundreds of restaurants, culinary institutes with
organic meats and more.
With more than 50 different retail shops and restaurants packing the Ferry
Building Marketplace, it is impossible to visit them all in one single trip. In
addition to the restaurants you can find specialty items in the Ferry Building from salted pig parts to fine imported cheeses, fresh produce, desserts
and coffees. If youre searching for a special gift, there are plenty of outlets
with handmade, artisan items, specialty book stores, candle shops and more.
Aside from shopping, the Ferry Building continues to operate as a full-time
travel terminal for those traveling across the Bay. Tickets can be purchased
on site to Marin County as well as Bay tours to Alcatraz, Treasure Island
and more. If your planning a trip to the San Francisco Bay, mark the Ferry
Building on your things to do list and plan for visit by visiting their website
at www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com.

The zen of Zin
What is the taste of Amador terroir?
Wine makers: Terra d'Oro Vineyards produces Zinfandels along with other varieties of wines.
By Sandra Reeves | Photos are special to the entertainer
infandel wasnt always the very popular wine it is now. In the late
70s and early 80s, explained Jeff Meyers, VP and general manager of Terra dOro Vineyards, the many different styles of Zin
on the market everything from a light, fruity picnic wine to a big bold
raisiny dry port all labeled Zinfandel, confused the public, who then
shied away in droves from buying it.
Meyers joined the winery, then called Montevina, in1981, fresh out of UC
Davis with a degree in winemaking, having graduated number one in his
class. Hes now been with Terra dOro for nearly 35 years. As first enologist, then associate winemaker, Meyers honed in on a consistent style that
consumers would embrace.

We were still very Zinfandel-centric but had also launched a fledgling Italian program lead by Barbera, he said. We were
the first to plant and to produce Barbera in the foothills of California. From our success others followed. It is now produced
at virtually every Amador County winery. We steadied sales and began the long hike back up in lost sales.
Meyers lead winemaking at Montevina from 1986 through 2004.
In 1988, Montevina Winery was sold to the Trincheros, the family that has run Sutter Home Winery since the late 1940s.
After 40 years of winemaking, the Trencheros found a wine that resonated with the American public White Zinfandel.
Thanks to that overnight success, the family has grown into the countrys fifth largest wine company.

Terroir is a French term

meaning sense of place.
Meaning when you taste our
wines, you know they came from
Amador. A noteworthy region or
appellation for growing grapes
has its own identity. Meaning it
has its own avor or character.
For us and our number one
selling wine, Zinfandel, that
means it is spicy.
For Montevina, it was a dream come true, Meyers said. The family came in and re-focused us in winemaking into our
core wines and further expanded our Italian portfolio, knowing then that market was ready for stylish Zinfandel and Italian
varieties. We introduced Terra dOro in the summer of 1995. The new brand immediately took off.
In the fall of 2000, the owners completed a $15 million show-place winery, a state-of-the-art facility that gave Montevina
more capacity and the very latest technology in the field.As Terra dOro expanded, it quickly became a bigger, more established brand than Montevina. Meyers explained. In 2006, the winerys name was changed to reflect the more celebrated
brand.
In 2000, Meyers hired Chris Leamy as assistant winemaker. After four years Leamy was promoted to winemaker, and Meyers to VP/GM of the property. Terra dOros sales have soared over the winerys original high-water mark, in the early 80s,
Meyers said, and have seen steady double-digit growth for the last several years.
TdOs strongest attribute is our terroir driven wines, Meyers explained. Terroir is a French term meaning sense of place.
Meaning when you taste our wines, you know they came from Amador. A noteworthy region or appellation for growing
grapes has its own identity. Meaning it has its own flavor or character. For us and our number one selling wine, Zinfandel,
that means it is spicy. Different appellations will have different characters.
In Lodi or the Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma, for instance, Zinfandel will be very jammy and fruity, but in Amador, while it
will have some of that jammy, fruity quality, it will also have a spicy character that separates us from them. A clear point of
difference. By spicy I mean warm, baking spices like cloves, anise, and allspice. We couple that distinctive character into a
smooth rich, flavorful taste that has done very well for us indeed.
TdOs philosophy, instilled by the Trinchero family, is always strive to over deliver, so that the wine buyer will be amazed
at how good the wine is and how inexpensive in other words, to provide a good price to quality ratio.
Growth for us will be in our Chenin Blanc/Viognier blend we just began producing three years ago, said Meyers. Its
growth rate has been fantastic, the reviews glowing. The price is reasonable.A truly beautiful thing at TdO is that the Trincheros encourage us to expand our horizons enologically. We continue to produce many esoteric Italian wines beyond the
Barbera and Pinot Grigio with the lines of Aglianico (a super cool variety from the Compania region of Italy) and Teroldego (a huge, rich beastly wine that originally hailed from the Alto Adige region), but we are now delving into southern
France.
Terra dOre recently released its first Rhone blend, a blend of Grenache Mourvdre and Syrah, which sold out in six weeks.
The winery will continue with that blend and also be looking for other off-the-beaten-path Italian reds.
And dont look now, Meyers said, but were going after Spanish wines! We have planted some Tempranillo, the main variety of Rioja. Stay tuned.

History recounts that the Hotel Leger began life in 1851 as a
wood-framed tent on the corner of Main and Lafayette Streets
in the Gold Rush boom town of Mokelumne Hill. Operated
by George Lger and called the Hotel de France, it catered to
the large French population that had come to town with hopes
of newfound wealth. Legers hotel, a popular site of galas and
cotillions, became noted as having the best table in the Gold
Country. These days, the table in Hotel Leger is the Whitewater
Grill and Saloon, owned by Doralee Rees and David Albert,
who, along with Chef Marc Martinez, aim to carry on the establishments long tradition of good food and festive times.
We are a historic property, and while she may be old, we will
treat our customers with five-star service, said Rees. Our goal
is for our guests to enjoy themselves so much that they can't wait
to tell their family, friends, and co-workers about their experience at the Whitewater Grill and Saloon.
Rees and Albert took over the business in June 2013. Formerly martial arts instructors, they brought their love of food and
dining to the new venture and educated themselves as they went

along. Starting with what the hotel was already offering, they made small changes
and additions over time.
We have a strong local support and wanted to keep them happy with the steak,
salmon, chicken, and pasta dishes they enjoyed as well as adding a flair that would
draw foodies from larger cities, Rees said. We hired a new chef and began
creating a new menu. We look to keep with the traditions of the area with classic
favorites with a twist here and there.
In January this year, Whitewater welcomed Martinez as its new head chef. He began working in restaurants at age 16, as a bus boy. Martinez later attended Columbia College's Culinary Arts program, becoming trained in all aspects of commercial
food preparation and kitchen management.
Under the guidance of the staff, I was challenged to always think outside
of the box and be creative, he said. Not only did my instructors challenge
me but so did my peers, Imet some great lifelong friends there.
While in school, Martinez worked part-time at a Japanese restaurant,learning how to make sushi and honing his eye for plate design.
He later worked at Embers, in Sonora, and then at the Jamestown
Hotel, first as sous chef and then head chef.
Martinez describes his style of cooking at Whitewater Grill as eclectic.
I like to use different spices, pull flavors from a wide variety of alcohols
(wine, vodkas, brandy, etc.) andexperiment with different styles and flavors, he
said. I like tobe unique while being as simple as possible. Simple is more.

By eRik loigom, wine columnist
hen it come to wine regions, it is very rare that

Trinity County gets a mention with only a
very small number of wineries located in this
picturesque area of the state.
Trinity County is located in the northwestern portion of
California.
Quickly becoming a regional hub for award-winning wines,
the region features a number of quality vineyards and wines.
MerloFamily Estate Vineyards is located along the banks
of the South Fork of the Trinity River and at the base of
South Fork Mountain, the longest contiguous ridge in the
continental United States. This setting helps create wines
that reflect the beauty of Hyampom Valley.

Unlike most California wines, these deep, complex wines
are not high in alcohol, nor overripe in flavors. Rather, the
red wines reveal rich flavor themes with very large, bold, yet
smooth tannin structure. The phenomenal skin structure of
the fruit results in opulent, dark colors, practically impenetrable by light. The white wines display bright vibrant flavors
with crisp natural acidity.

Folsom real estate
Hot as a Folsom summer

a tribute to the music of the Eagles is going to be a
big attraction?
By Pat Quan
une is the official start of

summer. But if local real
estate is any indication, it will
be a very hot summer.
This is the start of the season when

buyers are trying to relocate into the
school boundaries that they desire. I
call this the musical chairs season and the music is playing
loud.
Folsom is fantastic for musical entertainment. Historic Folsom has its annual summer Thursday Night Concerts while
the Palladio has its Summer Concert Series on Wednesday
nights.
Write to me describing your favorite summer activity.
Everyone should do the following at least once this summer.
Take a walk along the American River Bike Path where
you can enjoy the views of the scenic waterfront walkways.
Then stroll through an art gallery and an antique shop. Pick
a great restaurant to enjoy a nice meal, and then head over
to the concert at the outdoor amphitheater at 200 Wool St.
Live music is each Thursday in June and July and there are a
variety of musical genres.
Cant wait for Thursday? Head on over to the Palladio on
Wednesday for some serious shopping and food before you
go to the show. Why do I think that the Boys Of Summer
Summer is great for real estate. As a Realtor, Im always out

and about. Day or night. Weekday or weekend. No matter,
I love the long summer days.
Theres plenty of time to show buyers new homes and
expose them to this wonderful city, to meet with stagers and
inspectors, to craft an offer for a future Folsom resident and
to analyze offers with a happy seller.
In my down time, I love Folsom weather at this time of year.
I can get up early, go for my morning run with my dog and
still be ready to work early. Whats better than a round of
golf or boating at Folsom Lake? Shopping at the farmers
market for fruits and vegetables to go with that evening barbecue, and at our home well be finalizing some college
details for my daughter.
Lets look at Folsom real estate numbers for 2016. Look at
how many homes have sold in the $400,000 to $500,000
range. Thirty-eight percent of all of the homes sold in
Folsom were in this price range. Also note that these homes
have sold quickly, averaging 20 days (days on market). That
price range has well under two months of available homes
on the market today (inventory).
In summary, its simple. Homes under $600,000 tend to sell
very quickly. Homes over $600,000 are plentiful and are on
the market much longer.

Smokin sounds: Thomas Hatch, 25, of the band HVTCH has been making his mark on the Northern California music scene for 10 years;
regularly performing in Folsom, San Francisco and surrounding areas.
Get to Know: HVTCH
San Francisco musician and Sacramento area native Thomas

Hatch on music, artistic vision and the art of performance
By Matt Kramer | Photos by Coco Anne
With cafes, clubs and bars, Folsom has played host to many talented
and diverse musical acts; good stages and concert settings are easy
to find in this town. One of the musicians who regularly makes his
mark on Folsoms stages is Thomas Hatch, 25, a native of the Sacramento area and current resident of San Francisco. Hatchs latest
musical project, HVTCH, (pronounced Hatch), recently played at
Nicholsons Music Caf. We caught up with Hatch and talked about
his music, inspiration and the creative process that he draws upon to
create uniquely expressive and personal sonic wonders.
First of all why HVTCH?
Hatch: The inspiration for the band name, the meaning behind the
name and the reason we kind of flip the A upside down to a V is
that its being transformed into something new. The name HVTCH is
more of a doorway, or a portal from one side to the other, acting as
a threshold to transcendence; because after we put our guitars on
and we get on stage, were not ourselves anymore, we are HVTCH,
we become something different. Theres no inhibitions and its a very
free-spirited energy.
HVTCH
Music and more information on HVTCH can be
found online at www.hvtchband.bandcamp.
com. More of Thomas Hatchs solo music,
including his debut solo album The Earth and
The Moon: Part One, can be found at www.
thomashatchmusic.bandcamp.com.
This musical ethos best shows through in HVTCHs live show, but it is
also apparent in their recordings. HVTCHs music carries the rhythmic
and tonal sensibilities of experienced musicians, but also is indelibly
marked by an ear for experimentation and simple fun.
How long has HVTCH been in the making and how long have you
been playing as a band?
Hatch: You could say since I started writing songs. This band was a
transition for me from a solo artist. It happened naturally and coheContinued Next Page

Busy summer at the theater

By Allen Schmeltz, special to the entertainer
June is a busy month at Sutter Street Theatre. Our Off Broadway Series features
the hilarious comedy The Foreigner
opening June 11. Written by Larry Shue
and directed by Blake Flores The Foreigner is guaranteed to give you an evening of
nonstop laughter.
Our Family Series features 13 the musical running through June 19. Directed by
Allen Schmeltz, 13 is an amusing musical
look into the preteen to teen angst of turning 13. Great songs and choreography this
show is fun for the whole family especially
those around 13 and their families.
At 4 p.m. on the second Saturday we have
our monthly installment of Folsoms Old
Tyme Radio Show. Rapidly becoming a
monthly tradition for many as they step
back into time when radio ruled the air
waves with the original scripts from the
likes of The Bickersons, Fibber McGee
and Molly, Richard Diamond Private
Detective and more. The theatre turns
into an old time radio station complete
with live sound effects.Tickets are only
$10 payable at the door. We have nearly

sold out many performances so come early.
And in an already busy month our Visual and Performing Arts Camp kicks
off. A week of oil painting, dance, music
and acting taught by many of the regions
most awarded arts educators, who have
been producing this type of workshop for
over 20 years. From last years camp six
students placed a total of 10 pieces in The
California State Fair Art Show.
be 13 again: Performances for 13 the Musical

will be going until June 19 at Sutter Theatre.
We close the month with The Wrinkle

in Time opening June 25 in our Family
Series, based on the classic books and
directed by Michael Coleman.
In July we open with our Master Musical Theatre Workshop. A three-week,
all-day camp which culminates in the
Broadway Musical All Shook Up. Last
year we received 10 Elly nominations and
three Elly awards for our Summer Camp
production.
So come join us for a busy and exciting
summer.
Fly a kite: Visual and Performing Arts Camp this

month.
Hvtch Continued
sively. Weve been working with drummer Kaden Owens for about a
year now. We were a duo for most of our conception and most recently
picked up our third and final member. We didnt rush the whole bass
player thing. I played guitar, Kaden played drums, it worked for us.
We had a big indie sound, we could fill a room! When it really came
down to it, a bass player just had to happen naturally, and it did. We
picked up David McCradoch whos playing bass, and is doing co-vocals
because hes an amazing vocalist. Weve been going strong with that
lineup.
The new lineup and newly realized musical vision has Hatch excited.
As he put it, musically, hes at one of the most productive times in his
life.
Hatch: Weve gotten more done in the last month than any of my
bands have done ever. Weve got a lot of momentum going right now,
and were looking forward to releasing a lot of new music, a lot of
videos, and playing a bunch of shows. So here we come, watch out!
Hatch has participated in a number of bands; having played music
professionally since the age of 15, he estimates the number of bands
he has been involved with at upwards of 12. Throughout he has been

working to refine his sound and his artistic vision. This has culminated
in HVTCH.
Why did you decide to perform as HVTCH, as a band, as opposed to
working as a solo-artist? Do you have a preference to performing as a
band as opposed to performing as a solo artist?
Hatch: Those moments on stage have to be shared. Theres no band
without an audience, theres no audience without the band. Thats the
symbiosis of the matter, and I wanted to find other life forms to latch
in with. Those moments on stage, man, theres nothing worth doing in
this life if you have no one to share it with. As much as I love connecting with the crowd, and thats what we get on stage, I love connecting
more with other musicians. Its just so much sweeter. The collaboration
is a big thing for me too. I feel Ive been as successful doing a solo
career as I wanted. I feel confident enough in my vision to have a
solid foundation, but with everything else you know, I want to feel a
collaboration. You can reap more from that and benefit more. Its been
amazing watching that grow.
