way to give the younger actors a chance to take on leadroles in the iconic childrens classic tale.

Rick Wilson, CEO of the musical theater group, saidthis move will groom the younger performers to takeon more prominent roles in future productions.

For 13 years, EDMT hasbeen training actors,singers and dancers for

stage productions.Andrew Wilson, son ofthe CEO, has taken onassociate director dutiesto help mentor theyounger performers. At18, Andrew has been in 40different EDMT produc-

tions over the last decade. He is best known for hisroles as Captain Hook in Peter Pan, Gaston in Beau-ty and the Beast, Cat in the Hat in Seussical the Musi-cal, and most recently as Professor Harold Hill in TheMusic Man.

Debbie Wilson, Ricks sister, is the director. Mean-while, her daughter, 17-year-old Anjie Wilson, is takingon the mentor role of assistant choreographer. With 44shows under her belt, Anjie is no novice.

Part of the philosophy behind El Dorado MusicalTheatre is that all the cast members help and supportone another, said Rick. This is especially true of theolder performers looking out for the little ones. Anjieand Andrew spending their summer working with thecast of The Jungle Book is an example of that philos-ophy.

The show is handled by two casts, dubbed Fireand Rain, comprising 65 actors each.

Its a wonderful opportunity to flip the flows soinstead of learning everything, were creatingeverything to be seen on the stage, Andrew said,referring to his chance to be associate director.Im learning so much more. Were trying to keepthe show modern. Its a nice fresh take.

In keeping with the modern theme, you wontfind actors donning monkey suits.

We dont have people in animal costumes, hesaid. Theyre suggestions of the animals they areplaying. It wont be full face makeup.

Folsom resident Stephen Knoble, 14, is lookingforward to his turn in the spotlight as Baloo.

This is my first big role, he said. Ive done shows

with some of the older kids and Ive had some partshere and there but I havent had the biggest amount oflines. With Baloo, (the character) goes back to(author) Rudyard Kipling and its different than the(Disney) movie. Its fun to be able to do something dif-ferent this time.

Stephen said he appreciates being able to learn fromthe mentors.

Ive learned a lot from Andrew, he said. They (thementors) are anamazing help.

El Dorado Hillsresident KyraSchneider, 14, istaking on the roleof Bagheera.

This is my sev-enth show withEDMT, she said. Iwas 11 when Istarted in 2011 inthe ensemble. Atthat point, I didnt know what it was like to be a lead.Its a lot different to be the lead. You have to thinkabout character development and the back story ofyour character. In the ensemble, you dont have all thelines and you dont have to think about the storybehind the lines.

Another twist for Kyra?I have to move like a cat and its been interesting to

think like an animal, she said.Maya Ribadeneira, 10, of Folsom, takes on the wild

role of King Louie.My first show was in 2011. I thought I

would never do musical theater again andnow Im at this point (in a lead role), she

said. Its unique because Ive had rolesbefore but they arent crazy roles. They areusually calm but this timeI get to be more likemyself jumpy andstuff.

Whats it liketaking on such an

important role?

Its exciting to be somebody little kids get to look upto, she said.

El Dorado Hills resident Hunter Clary, 10, is playingMowgli, the main character, in one of the casts.

I think its really cool, Hunter said. I thought Iwould never be a lead. I thought I might get a speakingrole in one or two shows but its really exciting. Myfriends think its cool and say theyre going to see the

show. A lot of people are encouraging. Some kids inmy class think its weirdbut they are out practic-ing for baseball every-day.

The other Mowgli, NickRibadeneira, 12, of Fol-som (older brother to fel-low actor Maya), saidthere is a lot of pressurewhen you are the maincharacter.

Its a good feeling butits like, Oh my God, I

have such a big part. A lot of the other roles Ive playedwerent as big, Nick said. I really wanted this role. Myfavorite part of this experience so far was seeing myname on the cast list.

Kyra said she was looking forward to hitting thestage.

Its always amazing after opening night closes andits such a relief to realize you did it, she said.

For Andrew, the experience is about coming full cir-cle.

Throughout my life, Ive experienced all angles.When I was growing up, I was looking up to these (old-er actors). Then, as I started getting older, I was moreinto the group and started playing lead roles, he said.Now Im getting to mentor these young people sothey can have the sameexperience.

Experience is whatEl Dorado MusicalTheatre is allabout for boththe actors and theaudience.


IN THE KNOW El Dorado Musical Theatre does four majorproductions a year at the Harris Center and isthe single biggest user of the space withapproximately 55 nights a year. The two casts will do five performances each. Approximately 5,000 people will see the pro-duction.

While gaining popularity in region, the farm-to-fork movement issomething a pair of Granite Bay restaurateurs has known aboutfor quite some time.

According to the Sacramento Convention and VisitorsBureau, the greater Sacramento region contains up to

8,000 acres of boutique farms and is home to morethan 50 regional farmers markets, many of which

are open year-round.Hawks owners Michael Fagnoni and Molly

Hawks know these facts all too well. In fact, it isthe driving force behind the premise of theirQuarry Ponds restaurant.

The pair likes to point out some of the bestproduce in the country is grown within a few

miles of their restaurant.We are always cooking in season, Fagnoni

said. So the farm-to-fork thing is great because itbrings more awareness, and its getting more people

to support local farmers and cook seasonally.Hawks opened its doors just about seven years ago, bringing

soulful, seasonal American fare blended with a rustic elegance to Granite Bay.

Chef Michael Fagnoni, owner of HawksRestaurant in Granite Bay, offers a menuthat is fresh, top quality from local farm-ers and suppliers.

Instead of driving to Sacramento or San Francisco, people aroundthe Folsom Lake region can now dine at a more progressiverestaurant and bar in their own backyard.

Aji Japanese Bistro recently opened its doors in El Dorado Hills byManaging Partner Nick L. Dedier III and Executive Chef Partner Rus-sell Okubo.

Im proud of this place. It is the best restaurant and we are havingfun watching people discover it slowly but surely, Dedier said. Wehave been doing good work since the day we opened and it is onlygetting better, and more fun.

Along with a variety of food options, the restaurant features a

unique signature bar.We have an amazing craft

bar program as well as the foodand atmosphere, Dedier said.We have the best bar in Sacra-mento. All of our juices, syrups,tonics and elixers are made inhouse. We have created a killerplace to hang out and gather to

enjoy those cocktails without being in a chain restaurant or goingdowntown.

Dedier said they wanted to open the restaurant in El Dorado Hills to

stay a part of a community, not become lost in the scene of a busy city.We feel that we add value and pride to this community by provid-

ing a great overall product and value, he said.Q. What makes your restaurant unique?A. Our restaurant is unique in a lot of ways. First, the quality of our

fish is at the top of its market. We stand on the flavor and quality of thefish. Second, the menu features street food, ramen and oysters. Wewant people to have fun and try a little bit of everything when they arehere. Third, our service separates us from the rest. We drill down onservice every day. We are always training our team to offer what wecall community service so we can connect with our guests and thecommunity around us, giving guests a place to gather and feel warm,

welcomed and comfortable. We want people to feel like they are a partof what we do, not just a consumer of what we produce.

Q. What is your signature menu item?A. Our signature food items include the seared albacore, braised

short ribs, Nikku tataki and oysters. Everyone loves our oysters.But, I wouldnt stop at food when listing our signature items. Our

cocktails are also unique for the area. I would suggest our aji Mai tai,the Empress and the Kyoto New Year.

You hear the term farm-to-fork tossed around alot these days, and certainly there are manyrestaurants in the greater Sacramento region

jumping on board.

Oscar Delgado finishes prepar-ing one of many salads for thelunch rush at Roxy Restaurantand Bar in Sacramento.

8/12/2019 Fle July 2014

19/36


Some of these restau-rants, however, wouldhardly describe themovement as new sincethey have been doing itfor a very long time. Someof these you likely knowwell Hawks, SourceTapas, Mulvaneys, Water-boy and many, many oth-ers. One restaurant float-ing just below the radar isRoxy.

Whether you are a

farm-to-fork fanatic, oryou are just in Sacramen-to and looking for a goodplace to eat, this is onerestaurant worth check-ing out.

We recently opted for alunch visit, arriving short-ly after 11:30 a.m. to asparsely packed house.

By noon, the entirerestaurant was bustling

with the lunch crowd,barely a table to be had.

One thing I think con-tributes to Roxys popu-larity and success is itsfarm-to-fork concept.

The term is thrownaround much these days,albeit loosely at times. ForRoxy, the term is quite lit-eral they own theirown ranch.

The owners of Roxyand sister restaurant Luc-ca in midtown Sacramen-to are also the owners ofLucky Dog Ranch inDixon.

The ranch raises grass-

fed, free-grazing Anguscattle on open pasture.The ranch was originallypurposed to supply thetwo restaurants in Sacra-mento.

But thanks to increas-ing demand, the opera-

tion now suppliesnumerous restaurants inthe Sacramento regionand throughout the BayArea, and is present atmany farmers markets.

We started with a sideof piquillo peppersstuffed with Lucky DogRanch braised beef, Lau-ra Chenel goat cheesewith chili sauce and

toasted pumpkin seeds.We found the peppers

to be sweet, not spicy atall, stuffed with perfectly-braised beef and thesavory sauce paired wellwith the tangy goatcheese. Toasted pump-kins seeds added crunch.

For my main course, Iopted for the Lucky DogRanch meatloaf, served

with a side of bacon mac-and-cheese, roasted sea-sonal vegetables and aRuhstaller 1881 BBQsauce.

The meatloaf was per-fectly tender, moist and

flavorful while the red-alebarbecue sauce provideda nice, tangy touch ofsweetness.

The macaroni andcheese consisted of orec-chiette pasta, brandy-soaked bacon bits, bread

crumbs and meltedcheddar cheese.

We also tried the signa-ture black bean soup withchopped tomato, Cojitacheese and cilantro.

We found CocosSalmon Chop Salad tocontain a nice portion offarm-raised salmon (6ounces served overchopped piquillo pep-

pers, caramelized onionrelish, chickpeas, mintand cucumber) to be notquite what we wereexpecting, but appealing.

Farm-fresh ingredientsare clearly the way for arestaurant to provide thefreshest, top-qualityingredients to theirguests, and in my opin-ion, Roxy is right up there

with the best of thosewho are doing it right.

Most everyonegets the Fourthof July off work

and most dont do muchto celebrate the day untilthe evening when theyhead out to barbecuesand fireworks.

Six years ago, Dr. ToddDrybread created the Fol-som Firecracker FamilyFun Run in part to give

people a healthy way tokickoff IndependenceDay and also to simplycreate a fun, family event.

The draw of the run isthat it gives people some-thing to do with their fam-ilies in the morning, Dry-bread said. Most every-one has the day off workand this is something todo with the family and

celebrate our independ-ence and its also for agood cause. All the benefi-ciaries have something todo with kids.

Last year around 900runners participated inthe 5k and 10K runsalong the shores of Lake

Natoma and Drybreadhopes more familiescome out this year.

Folsom resident Shan-nan Bandermann hasmissed only one of thefive previous FolsomFirecracker Fun Runs andhis looking forward torunning the 10K this year.

I love seeing howmuch the race has grown

over the years with moreparticipants and vendorsattending, Bandermannsaid. Its a family-friendlyevent and fun for all. Itsneat to see how everyoneis dressed up to celebratethe Fourth of July. Everyyear the weather hasbeen very hot so thecourse along the trail isperfect for dealing with

the heat. This is a greatevent to kick off the day.

Lincolns RandyBrundage will be takingpart in the event for thethird time and for him,the run holds specialmeaning. Brundage andhis son first participated

in the event in 2012while his wife, Tammy,was there to watch. Twomonths later, Tammypassed away of cancer.

The first FirecrackerRun was a special day forme, Brundage said. Ihad just taken up run-ning the Novemberbefore and my wife wasthere to watch my son

and I and that was thelast run she saw. Lastyear, I ran honoring hermemory and I will do thesame this year. She willbe in my thoughts.

Like Bandermann,Brundage enjoys thecourse.

Its just beautiful,Brundage said. Its apretty run by the lake

and its scenic. Anothergood thing is the crowdis big and enthusiastic.

This years beneficiariesinclude the PowerhouseTransition Center, Friendsof the Folsom Library,P.A.R.T.Y. (Prevent Alcoholand Risk-Related Trauma

in Youth), the SacramentoSheriffs Toy Project, SierraFamilies Forever and theMexican Orphan Mission.

The Powerhouse Tran-sition Center for Womenand Children offers foodand shelter necessaryto leave addiction andhomelessness behindand focus on building abrighter future. Friends of

the Folsom Library is anon-profit organizationadvocating and promot-ing the library. P.A.R.T.Y.smission is to promoteinjury prevention throughreality education, enab-ling youth to recognizerisk and make informed

next exhibit at the Gallery at 48Natoma in Folsom. In this sea-sonally appropriate exhibit,Hawaiian Summer will show-case the artistic talents of artistsWade Koniakowsky with paint-ings and surfboards, watercol-ors by Leslie Ruth and collages

by Eileen Downes. The exhibitopens July 11 and continuesthrough Aug. 28.

Koniakowskys paintedboards are some of the most

sought after in the art world.The most popular style is thePolynesian Collage whichincorporates mixed media ofgold leaf, block print and paint-ing in figurative, scenic andabstract.

The ocean is my inspiration.

My art is a reflection of this greatforce that has shaped my life,he said.

Downes collage artwork iscomprises many layers, bits of

torn magazine papers as herpalette of paint working theimage by adding and subtract-ing tonal values of this paperuntil she creates the desiredeffect.

I am continually amazed byspecific words that appear

almost magically between thetorn edges as if they are them-selves part of the creator of theartwork, she said.

Ruth continues a family tradi-

tion established by her grand-mother and mother. Althoughtrained as a commercial artist aswell as in the fine arts, herwarmth and sensitivity have ledher back to the watercolormedium again and again.

In spite of openingamid a period of tumul-tuous economic times,the restaurant has foundsuccess by sticking close

to its roots and neverstraying from its concept.

We just wanted tohave a comfortable, nicelooking restaurant forpeople to come and havea good time in, Fagnonisaid. We do get peoplewho come in and are, Idont want to say intimi-dated, but a little put offby the place being fancy.

Thats not what weintended to create at all.

The restaurant certain-ly is elegantly fashioned,yet it retains a casual-meets-refined air ofsophistication.

There is nearly some-

thing for everybody onthe menu, including hap-py hour specials, all-dayhappy hour on Wednes-days and even a fourcourse for $40 tastingmenu on Sundays.

Guests can come in,

get a hamburger and abeer and be out for lessthan $20, Fagnoni said.Or you can do the tast-ing menu and have abeautiful bottle of wineand spend $200. We reallytry to run the gamut togive people as manychoices as possible.

Why the farm-to-forkconcept?

In Italy, there is a dis-tinct difference betweenNorthern Italian food andSouthern Italian food,because they dont trucktheir stuff across thecountry, he said. Wherein the U.S., you go to a lot

of these restaurants andyou can have corn andgreen beans in January.Its because we are a cul-ture ... accustomed to get-ting whatever we want,whenever we want it.

The husband-and-wife

team, who migrated toGranite Bay from SanMateo seven years ago,were both chef decuisines at the acclaimedVillage Pub in Woodsideprior to embarking ontheir restaurant venture.

We try to find the bestproducts and just preparethem naturally and let theproduct shine, Fagnoni

said. Pretty much anygood restaurant wants tocook what is in seasonbecause it is the bestproduct you can get.

This summer the teachers of Folsom Piano Acade-my want to help students learn the basics of musicand piano.

The piano program is from 10-10:50 a.m., Monday,Wednesday and Friday, July 7-18 and July 21-Aug. 1.

Our Fast Start program is a great way to see ifa child is ready for piano lessons, said JeanetteMunroe, Folsom Piano Academy director. Stu-dents basically receive six weeks worth of les-

sons in two short weeks so its a great opportu-nity for a child to try it to see if they like it. Andsince they dont need an instrument at home

during the session, families dont have to investin a piano right away.

Munroe has owned FolsomPiano Academy

for 17

There have been numerous scientific studies aboutthe benefits of music study on the brain, Munroesaid.

Also, since westart students out in group classes, they quickly learnthe joys of making and sharing music with their peers

which helps to build their overall confidence and self-esteem.
