Snowshoer Cathy Anderson-Meyers is a senior outdoor instructor with REI.

Get ready to embark on an icy adveBY LAURA NEWELLFOLSOM LAKE ENTERTAINER

A fter a dry winter, snow sports have been on holdfor many winter sports lovers. But with recentsnow storms, winter sports are beginning to

spike.For those who want a calm walk in the snow to view

their outdoor surroundings, rather than racing downthe ski slopes, one may look to snowshoeing.

Cathy Anderson-Meyers, 64, is a REI sierra outdoorschool senior instructor. She first started snowshoeing in 1992 and quickly became hooked.

“I was a downhill skier and after getting married, Istarted to cross country ski,” Anderson-Meyers said.“After having my first son, I stopped because I couldn’tski with my young family. Then in 1992, a friend toldme about snowshoeing.”

At the time, she had two sons, ages 18 months and 3.“We went out for the first time together as a family,”

she said. “I was hooked.”

The next year, she started a snowshoeing businesscalled Cathy Works Snowshoe Tours, and today is inher 18th season.

“I’m still going, and I still love it,” she said. “In my time frame, snowshoeing has changed quite a bit.Today the materials are stronger and better-made sothey won’t break. They are just safer all around.”

Anderson-Meyers started working with REI six yearsago. There she teaches snowshoe clinics and leadssnowshoe tours. She works year-round with REI alsoteaching kayaking, stand-up paddle board, back country skills, map and compass, road cycling and a“how to ride a bike” class.

“People are beginning to realize that they can haveoutdoor activities during the winter,” Anderson-Mey-ers said. “Snowshoeing gives people a chance toexplore their favorite summer trails during the winter.”

She said there is a level of fitness required whensnowshoeing because people are walking with largesnowshoes and backpacks in the cold weather at a

higher altitude.“This is an aerobic

sport and you will sweat,”she said. “For a wintersport, you have to dosome preplanning before

a trip. You will want toresearch the weatherbefore, so you can be safeand prepare.”

She said there are a few needed materials beforetaking a snowshoe trip.

First, you need a snow-shoe that correctly fitstheir feet. Snowshoes usu-ally run about 21 to 25inches long, with smallersizes for children. REI sellsand rents snowshoes.

Second, you need apole. The pole will givethe upper body an extra workout, while giving theperson extra support as well.

Third, you need think waterproof boots and wool blend socks to stay warm and dry. Anderson-Meyers even suggested wearing two pairs of socks

to keep ankles warm.Fourth, you should

wear layers of clothing.“Layers are important

because as you get warmer while walking, you can take layers off,”she said. “You will also

need a backpack with a working water system.Snowshoers need a mini-mum of two liters of water per person. You willneed more water than

you think you’ll need.” Anderson-Meyers saidsnowshoers should not wear any cotton.

“It is important to wearlayers of wool blend andpolyester blends to keepmoisture away from thebody, including sweat,” Anderson-Meyers said.“You don’t want to get wet, have a cold windcome and then potential-ly get hypothermia. Thisis serious. It is importantto protect your body fromthe cold.”

She said gloves andhats are also a must have while on the snow.

REI provides in-storeclasses and tours.

T he Folsom Sympho-ny will perform anarrangement of

Beethoven’s classics intheir March community concert.

“In my opinion,” saidMaestro Michael Neu-mann, “Beethoven’sNinth Symphony is thegreatest musical compo-sition Western civilizationhas ever produced.”

It’s an assessment that’s widely shared, said LindaHolderness, Folsom Sym-phony spokesperson.Beethoven’s Ninth, withits famous “Ode to Joy”chorale, is universally deemed the composer’sfinest work and one of classical music’s greatestmasterpieces, Neumannsaid. It was the compos-er’s last completed sym-phony and the first sym-phony ever written with achoral component.

The Folsom Symphony and the Sacramento Mas-ter Singers will present“Glorious Beethoven!” at7:30 p.m., Saturday,March 24 and at 3 p.m.,Sunday, March 25, atThree Stages at FolsomLake College, 10 CollegeParkway, Folsom.

Neumann will lead theensemble in Beethoven’sNinth, and MasterSingers director, RalphHughes, will conduct twoadditional pieces.

“(The audience will

experience) an extremely intense, moving piece of music, not only because

of the musical aspects buton a spiritual level,” Neu-mann said. “Beethoven’sNinth Symphony is out inthe stratosphere spiritual-ly. Nothing was ever thesame musically afterBeethoven wrote hisNinth Symphony.”

With its complex musicand the addition of thechoral portion, this pieceis the most artistically demanding work the Fol-som Symphony hasundertaken, Holdernesssaid.

The concert will feature70 symphony musiciansand 80 singers, including four soloists.

Beethoven classics celebratedThree Stages hosts legend Merle HaIf the question were

asked, “Who forged thegenre known today asmodern country music?”

only a tiny group of country immortals couldstep forward to share thespotlight. One, out of that select handful, would be Merle Haggard,said Dave Webb, ThreeStages spokesperson.

“There are few people who epitomize the spiritand the reality of coun-try music the way MerleHaggard does,” saidThree Stages ExecutiveDirector Dave Pier.“We’re honored to havehim on Stage One.”

According to Webb,Haggard’s life path hasnever been easy, nor hasmuch of it been pretty,as aired in his 1981 book,“Sing Me Back Home.”His childhood years were spent in Bakers-

field, California, and thedeath of his father, whenMerle was just 9 yearsold, became the catalystthat led to a squandered youth. At the same time,his love for the wander-ing songs of such as Jim-mie Rodgers, lead to anerrant passion for thegleaming, endless rail-road tracks and the sirensong of slow freights andhobo jungles.

Incarceration for three years in San Quentin

Penitentiary became theexperience that finally changed his perspectiveand the spark that

turned his head around, Webb said. He abruptly assumed the role of amodel prisoner and wasparoled in 1960.

He was signed by Tally Records, owned by closefriend Lewis Tally, andbegan cutting singles in agarage behind Tally’shouse. His first single was“Singing My Heart Out,” which received someregional airplay on the West Coast, but it was in1963 that he eventually broke into the top 20 of Billboard’s country charts with his first national hit,“Sing A Sad Song.”

Since then the country charts have been his sec-ond home.

manager Thomas Masi ashe plays one of the store’s

Steinways.In the 110-seat recital

hall at the back of theRoseville store’s large, airy piano showroom, young piano students, pianoteachers, professionalmusicians and music-lovers alike can enjoy thesound of Steinway pianoshandcrafted in New York and Hamburg, Germany.

The store located in theNugget shopping centerat the intersection of Pleasant Grove Boulevardand Fairway Driveopened in 2008. Masitook over as manager inNovember. Recent eventssuch as “An Afternoon of Jazz,” piano recitals andcompetitions, and meet-ings of piano clubs areestablishing Sherman

Clay as a key local venuefor music appreciation.

“Teachers know we’rehere because now they have a beautiful facility todo their recitals,” Masisaid. “You don’t have tobe a concert pianist to bein here.”

Sherman Clay began asa San Francisco-basedconcert music hall in1870 and became an

authorized Steinway dealer in 1892. While the

chain’s retail piano salesonce stretched nationwide, Sherman Clay now operates six stores on the West Coast, including inSeattle, Portland, and theBay Area, and two storesin Texas.

Bonni Nutter, a GraniteBay piano teacher andpresident of the Placer

branch of the MusicTeachers Association of California, said ShermanClay has built a relation-ship with the local pianocommunity.

The Roseville store pro-vides its recital hall topiano students for per-formances, competitions,and certificate of meritexams. The store alsohosted a recent fundrais-er for the music teachersassociation’s scholarshipprogram.

Apart from Steinways,Sherman Clay offers of range of pianos, includ-ing the Boston and Essex lines by Steinway & Sons,and decorator pianosavailable in different fin-ishes. Sound improves asa piano gets longer ortaller, Masi said. The 9-foot long Steinway ModelD Concert Grand in theSherman Clay recital hallretails for more than

$100,000. But familiescan find used pianos atthe store starting at $800,he said. Sherman Clay also sells digital pianos, acheaper alternative toacoustic pianos.

Another Granite Bay piano teacher, Barbara Adam, highlighted theimportance of the quality of a student’s instrument.

“You want the bestquality instrument that you can buy becausethat’s going to offer yourstudent the best possiblefundamentals of learning to play the piano in thefirst place,” Adam said.“They’re going to enjoy their playing because

they’re getting a bettertone, a better sound.”

Sherman Clay offers

two monthly opportuni-ties for local teachers andmusicians to use itspianos. In the piano club,musicians can practiceperforming in a relaxedsetting. The pianoensemble makes use of the store’s matched Stein- ways for playing musicfor four hands. TheRoseville store also hostsregular piano concerts,such as this month’s trib-ute to Vince Guaraldi,known for his composi-tions for the Peanuts ani-mated cartoons.

At one time, before theinternet and television,piano playing was a chief form of American enter-

tainment.“There are families

who, like my family,

made sure that all theirchildren had the chanceto play,” Masi said. “Yougrew up with a piano in your household. Now it’sbig screen TVs. It’s com-puters. It’s Xboxes. Thosehave taken the place of the arts. That’s why we try to do a lot of differentevents here to get peopleinterested in the pianoindustry.”

Nutter said piano play-ing engages all the sens-es.

“You have to givesomething of yourself tothe music,” she said. “Ithink that that engages somuch of your brain and your emotions to do it.”

KIM PALAFERRI • FOLSOM LAKE ENTERTAINER

Winemaker Mark Bonitata took his passion for creating wines and turned itinto a business. Bonitata Boutique Wine, located in the Bernhard Museum at291 Auburn Folsom Road in Auburn, offers nine different wines.

BY KRISSIKHOKHOBASHVILIFOLSOM LAKE ENTERTAINER

E ven the most sea-soned oenophile hadto start somewhere.

While there are count-less intricacies at play in a

glass of wine, the steps of tasting it are basically thesame. And while the ter-minology (“legs,” “oaky,”“hints of blueberry”) may intimidate someone new to wine tasting, severalarea winemakers had thesame advice to sippers: Inthe end, all that matters what you like, and what you don’t.

“It comes down to thetaste,” said Mark Bonitata,owner and winemaker of Auburn’s Bonitata Bou-tique Wine. “I tell people, when they’re tasting in my winery, ‘You can line up100 people and give themthe same glass of wine. You’ll get 100 differentopinions on that wine.’”

Keeping that in mind,here’s some advice fromthe experts on ways to getthe most out of your tast-ing experience:

Take a good lookThe color of the wine

should be appropriate forthe type of grape. White wines should be more onthe clear side. For reds,varietals like sangioveseand pinots will be lighterin color, while cabernet

franc and tempranillos will be a deep purple.“The color will tell you

a lot,” said Ryan Taylor,head winemaker at Mt. Vernon Winery. “Typically the browner the wine, themore oxygenated the wine is.”

The swirl“Wine is kind of a liv-

ing, breathing thing,”Taylor said. “It was onceon a plant, we took it off,harvested it, crushed it,pressed it, put it in a bar-rel for so long and thenput it in a bottle.”

In order to get the truetaste of the wine, he said,the taster needs to swirlthe wine a bit so oxygenhits the liquid.

This is also a chance tocheck out your wine’s“legs” — the streaks of wine that form on the sideof the wine glass when it’stilted. While many think the legs are associated with quality, it’s really justscience. Because wine is amixture of alcohol and water, once the air hits itthe alcohol evaporates,

leaving the water to rundown the side.

Breathe deeplySwirling is key to this

step: smelling your wine.Smell is such an impor-

tant factor in taste, Taylorsaid, that surrounding

odors can affect how the wine is experienced. Thatcan include perfumesand smoke in the air, or whether the person tast-ing the wine has a cold.

Take a sipTaylor recommendspulling in a little air from

the side of your mouth as you sip.

“It aerates a little moreand it brightens it up a lit-tle so you can see the trueflavors that are coming out of that wine,” he said.

This is the time thattasters start talking aboutthings like tannins, agroup of compounds thatare perceived during tast-ing by how dry they leavethe mouth or a sense of bitterness.

Tasting is also whenpeople start identifying different flavors in the wine. It’s common to hearthat wine has hints of fruit or other flavors in it.

“I didn’t put raspberriesor strawberries in that wine to make it taste likethat,” Taylor said. “It’s what Mother Nature puton the vine.”

Wineries pour severaltypes of wine to givetasters the chance to tastea variety of what theestablishment has to of-fer, and to give the tasterthe opportunity to tastesomething they like.

Find affordable prom dresses at special Fols

BY MARGARET SNIDERFOLSOM LAKE ENTERTAINER

Choosing the rightoutfit is all part of amemorable prom

experience, and now girlshave different optionsthat won’t break thebank.

“A Prom to Remember”at Snowline HospiceThrift Store in Folsomprovides an opportunity

to do just that. Donatedprom dresses are sold toarea high school studentsfor only $20. Shoes andaccessories are also onsale.

“A lot of times girls may be not inclined to go (toprom) because they can’tafford a dress,” said LisaCulver, store manager.

This is the seventhannual prom dress pro-

gram for Snowline Hos-pice, which takes placeonly at the Folsom thriftstore. Prom dress salesare from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Saturday, March 10.

This program can actu-ally be more fun andrewarding to the girlsthan searching for a new dress at retail outlets, saidCulver.

“There is quite a frenzy to find dresses and try them on,” Culver said.“The staff gets caught upin the excitement andtries to bring some orderto the chaos.”

The store sets up a whole section where thegirls can inspect thegowns, and creates extrafitting rooms so thatmany girls can try on inprivacy at the same time.

“They’re really happy because there are dressesthat you don’t see in thestores a lot of times,” saidLaura Tornincasa, thestore’s assistant manager.“Some people like thereal retro, vintage. Youhave a much betterchance of it being aunique dress.”

Se said another optionfor girls is to buy morethan one dress and usetheir creativity to cut off dresses, tear them apartand redo them the way they want them.

Area high schools oftenhelp out in publicizing the event and collecting dresses. Last year, Culversaid, some students usedthe program as their sen-ior project.

“We usually sellbetween 100 and 150gowns the first day,”Tornincasa said. “Of

course, the first weekendis the best selection, but we do add to the supply as dresses trickle in.”

The generally there areabout 250 to 300 dressessold total. There wereabout 70 dresses sold thefirst year.

Although they collectdresses all year, this pro-gram encourages many donations — but they

always need more.“By the end, there are just a handful of dressesthat don’t get sold,” Torn-incasa said.

Folsom High School’sSenior Ball this year willbe from 7 to midnight,Saturday, May 19, at theSacramento ConventionCenter.

Oak Ridge High School’sprom is from 7:30 to 11:30

p.m., Saturday, May 5, inthe Sac State Ballroom.

“We are pleased toknow that this event is so well received by the com-munity and that the pro-ceeds provide hospicecare services to patientsand families that do nothave the ability to pay,”Culver said.

P eople are cutting back on just abouteverything these

days, but one Auburnbride-to-be is proving that you can have a fairy-

tale wedding withoutbreaking the bank.Kristen (Wesley) Carva-

jal, 19, married FranklinCarvajal on Feb. 11, 2011.In the weeks leading upto her wedding, shespoke with I Do! abouthow she used creativity,connections and com-mon sense to plan a love-ly wedding without going over her $5,000 budget.

“First of all, when youstart out you have to bereally aware of what youractual budget is and bereally wise to ‘what are we willing to spend on and what can we cut back on,’and having a game planbefore you begin, or else you just go crazy,” Carva- jal said.

Carvajal got married at

the Revival Center of Roseville, and held herreception at MorganCreek Golf Club, also inRoseville. The venue, shesaid, was one of thethings she was willing tosplurge on. However, shecut costs when it came to

food by serving dessertsonly, in the form of asweet buffet of cupcakesfrom Icing on the Cup-cake and a chocolatefountain provided by Morgan Creek.

Carvajal also made herown table centerpieces,incorporating her themeof “Peacock and Pearls.”The decorations consist-ed of pearls and brightly colored feathers in andaround small wire bird-cages, bought on salethroughout Placer Coun-ty. The theme was alsopresent in the bridal par-ty’s bouquets and acces-sories, as they held flow-

ers with feathers in themand wore hairpieces withfeathers as well — allhand-crafted by Carva- jal.

The theme has a story as well — Carvajal lovespeacock colors, and thefirst gift Carvajal gave her

was a set of peacock-feather earrings.

Carvajal embraced thedo-it-yourself mentality,and encourages othersplanning a wedding to dothe same, utilizing socialnetworking sites like Pin-terest.com to find ideas.She also suggests seeking out friends and family members who can help,or who know caterers,photographers or othervendors who will work within a limited budget.

“Find people that aren’ta part of the large compa-nies, and usually they’re willing to work within your budget,” Carvajal

said. “And if you know them, it works out well.”One of those connec-

tions is Lisa West, ownerof L West Designs of Grass Valley, who has knownthe Carvajals since she was a child. The seam-stress created a vintage-

style dress for Carvajalcomplete with a satinunderlay and Alenconlace that West place by hand on the dress.

The dress was anothersplurge for Carvajal, whospent about $600 on it,including traveling to SanFrancisco to pick outmaterial. Choosing dressfabric, lace and design was another semi-DIY activity that Carvajal saidshe wouldn’t have had if she’d gone to a large bridalstore.

“I like to pamper thebrides,” West said. “I like tomake them feel special.”

West said she was hon-ored when Carvajal’smother, Diane Wesley,called her the day Franklin proposed to ask her to make Kristen’sdress. That was the first wedding-planning step,taken in April, and sincethen Carvajal has beenbusy planning her simple,elegant wedding.

Carvajal’s older sister,Nicole Brawley, was mar-ried six years ago in a wedding that dad Jim Wesley said cost easily twice what this one will.

This time around, thefamilies had to be realisticabout the economic cli-mate and how it wouldaffect the amount of money that could bespent on the event.

“We appreciate the factthat they took on thatsame attitude and men-tality of ‘I know there’s nota lot to spend, so I’m notgoing to go crazy. I will work with that budget,’”Diane Wesley said.

Jim Wesley said he wasamazed at how muchmoney they saved by justcomparison shopping

and seeking out sales.“It blows my mind away for what we spent beforeand how we are going tohave a very nice wedding at this price,” he said.“People just dole outmoney when weddingshappen, very easily.”

T he Roseville PressTribune, MorganCreek Golf Club and

Celebrations Party Rentals have teamed upto present the inauguralGoldCountryBride.comBridal Faire. The wed-ding-planning extrava-ganza takes place from11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday,March 25, at MorganCreek, 8791 MorganCreek Lane, Roseville.

The inaugural event will help support Brides Against Breast Cancer.The national group pro-

vides support to womenfighting cancer throughcharity wedding gownsales. All money raisedthrough ticket sales atthe bridal faire will go tothe nonprofit organiza-tion.

“We didn’t want tomake it profitable forus,” explained LindaShuman-Prins, businessdevelopment for GoldCountry Media andevent organizer. “Thepoint was to help pro-mote the I Do! maga-zine, and help our cus-tomers and our vendors,and we felt the best way to do that was to donatethe proceeds.”

“In my early 20s I start-ed doing realism, andphotorealism,” Timber-lake said.

He said one can see thephotorealistic quality in“Halo,” Timberlake’s up-close depiction of a set of car keys — Blacks, silvers,and copper — a cornu-copia of shiny-new and well-worn metalics dan-gling on a ring, suspend-ed in light and shadow,and surrounded in anaura of mystery.

Timberlake said hispassion for art has con-tinued throughout hislifetime.

“I grew up aroundpainting — my grandfa-ther is a really talented oilpainter. I was in awe of the paintings that filledthe walls in his house,”Timberlake said. “I wasreally in to art when I wasa child — it just camenaturally.”

Timberlake started with abstract expressionin high school, and has

always stuck with hisfavorite — oils. A former student at

Folsom Lake College, hepursued an AssociatesDegree in art, and creditsthe school’s professors with giving him a solidfoundation, and helping him with color theory.Timberlake, as well asmany other students,maintain working rela-tionships with theschool’s art professors.

“I’m actually color-blind, so the color theory was really helpful,” Tim-berlake said.

Works like “Recurring,”

one of Timberlake’sfavorite pieces, offers asubtle glow of color from jars fairly shimmering in what one might imagineis filtered afternoon lighton a winter afternoon, tocracked egg shells that

reflect a sunset hue.“I’m most proud of thetechnicality in ‘Halo,’ butalso of my ability toemphasize color in‘Recurring’,” Timberlakesaid.

The artist has beeninspired by classic painterslike Vermeer and Rem-brandt, and said he was“blown away” when hereceived a Salvador Dalibook at the age of 16. Buthe said the late artist, Ist-van Sandorfi, might haveinfluenced him the most.

“He’s a huge influence.He’s an amazing Hungar-ian artist, who just passed

away about a year ago,”Timberlake said. “I findSandorfi’s works are themost incredible paintingsthat have ever been creat-ed. They are realistic,mysterious and surreal.”

For the most part, how-

ever, Timberlake said hetakes his inspiration from what is around him.

“I want to make ordi-nary things beautiful,” hesaid. “I just want to createsomething simple, yetelegant.”

Timberlake describedhis process as a series of layers that might takemonths to finish.

Other alumni artistsincluded in the exhibitare Sigrid Benson, NataliaBidun, Kylie Duthie, Bar-ret Jelinski and DavidJohnson.
