A

few years ago, a sports editor Iworked with lent me a copy of

Miles Davis seminal 1959album, Kindof Blue. As onewho followedthe normal tra-jectory of a latebaby boomer,the soundtrackof my life waschock full oftracks by theBeatles andStones, Led

Zeppelin andKiss. Therewere forays into country music.The first album I purchased wasJohnny Cash Live at SanQuentin, and Waylon and Williewere like a redneck version of theGlimmer Twins to me.

But jazz? That was what my dadlistened to. Benny Goodman, Tom-my Dorsey and all those other catswho resided in Squaresville, man.

But I was an adult now and felt itwas time to broaden my horizons.

After all, I hadnt listened to a Kissalbum in, oh, two weeks? And if

Im going to delve into the jazzworld, I might as well start with thebest. So I took that copy of Kind ofBlue and popped it into my carsCD player when I had a littledowntime.

And I didnt get it.Sure, the musicianship was great

and I could see how people wouldlike it, but I couldnt understandwhat all the fuss was about. Whywas it considered so innovative, soimportant?

I took these questions to mysports writing friend and he knewthe answer right away.

I had no frame of reference, hetold me. I didnt know what jazz waslike before that album was released.I didnt know how, until then, peo-ple played solos based on chordprogressions instead of musicalmodes. I wasnt familiar with har-monic rhythms, pedal points orpolytonality. I couldnt tell the differ-ence between a quartal and a quin-tal melody if I tried. Which I didnt.

So I decided to just appreciate itfor what it was: good music played

by exceptional musicians. And itnow represents one third of myentire jazz collection (Stan Getz andCannonball Adderley if youre curi-ous).

But jazz has been on my mindbecause Wynton Marsalis and theJazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra areappearing this month at VeteransMemorial Auditorium in Grass Val-ley. Thats a big time jazz act, and itsbrought to you by The Center for theArts, an organization thats earned a

reputation for bringing big namesto the foothills.

This month alone you can seetalented multi-instrumental DavidBromberg at The Center, as well asthe master of Americana, JackieGreene. Theres blues, roots, coun-try, bluegrass, orchestral indie popand soaring 60s psychedelia.

So step outside of your musicalcomfort zone if you have to andtake advantage of this intimatevenue. The soundtrack of your lifeawaits.

and the Jazz at LincolnCenter Orchestra, whoare appearing this week.But the majority of theacts take place in themain theater, where thepulse of the people isplayed out on guitars, fid-dles and mandolins.

You have to under-stand your own market,Baker said. We are notgoing to book at least allof the time acts you findin an urban environment.Were a very sophisticated

art community; we like tosay we live in a bubble.Were a small town with aradio station thats beenhere 30-plus years. Welook at that audience andwhat they are listening to,which is primarily Ameri-cana.

She also notes the largedemographic of retirees,hence the booking ofMarsalis and orchestra.

Theyre not played onKVMR but they are one ofthe premier jazz orches-tras today, Baker said.

And its also aboutknowing what not to do, asin stepping on your neigh-bors toes or oversaturat-ing the market.

We have two fabulousclassical music organiza-tions in the area, so its notour job to present classicalmusic, she said.

But this month alonethey will present rock,blues, roots, country, andbluegrass from DavidBrombergs instrumentaltalents to the Master ofAmericana Jackie Green.

Too good to be trueOne of those pulling

into town mid-March is

the Claire Lynch Band.Lynch is the reigningfemale bluegrass vocalistof the year for the Interna-tional Bluegrass MusicAssociation. She playedthe Fathers Day Festivalfour years ago and is look-ing forward to her returntrip to the area.

Its stunning; it seemslike an ideal place to live,Lynch said. I think its like

fairy land, seems too begood to be true.

Most folks around herewouldnt argue, especiallywhen theyre given thechance to see a bluegrassmusician of her caliber soclose to home.

We have some really incred-ible instrumentalists in myband; they are virtuosic innature, she said.

This is the third time Lynchhas held the vocalist of theyear honor; the first two were13 years apart, a testament toher longevity in a once-maledominated industry, one shesbeen involved with since 1974.

If you can call playing with

a bluegrass band that was liv-ing on tomato sandwichesbeing in the industry, shesaid. But I feel like a queen fora year. The win has been a realboost for our morale and mycareer.

Lynch has been creditedwith pushing the boundariesof the genre, allowing womento become a more visible forcein bluegrass music.

I just did it because Ithought it was OK to do, shesaid. I was accustomed tobeing the odd one out, wewere different than the otherbands on the bill, there weremen who may have wanted toguard their position within thegenre, but I never felt discrim-inated against.

Now, she says, instead of aninsignificant ornamentation tothe bluegrass stage, womenhave come front and center,calling the shots in their ownbands. Hers will play the maintheater on a Thursday night,

between weekend gigs in LasVegas and the Bay Area.

Maybe they evenloved us

On a Wednesday night, theBay Area band Foxtails Brigadewill bring their orchestral indiepop sound into the more-than-intimate theater knownas Off Center Stage. Withroughly 90 seats, the venue iscalled the black box theater,though many of its performerssit comfortably outside the

box.From the soaring 60s psy-chedelia of Future Twin to thecrescendoing 70s pop opusesof Golden Shoulders, the Dis-covery Series is a launchingpad of sorts for the up and

coming, sometimes localartists.

New audience develop-ment is critical to the survivalof a performing arts organiza-tion, Baker said. The Discov-ery Series showcases emergingartists and is curated by some-one with that knowledge andexperience. Its a way for us todevelop a new audience fornew music.

Laura Weinbach, who frontsFoxtails Brigade, is excited tobe coming back to Grass Val-

ley.Weve played in NevadaCity at the Haven Under-ground, Weinbach said. Lasttime I was there I loved it and Ifelt like they liked us too,maybe they even loved us.

Its the first show of theirMarch tour, and Weinbach hasbeen working as much on thevisuals as the music.

I am making us an artdesign for the stage set, she

said. Its not incredibly elabo-rate, but Ive got to buy somesort of big flat art suitcase tocarry it around in.

The best sense ofhumanity

While the entertainers makethe headline, the Arts in thetitle is not limited to music. TheCenter has two visual arts gal-leries that mostly featureexhibits by local artists, there

are performing art guilds forchildren three times a year,and the Laughter is theBest Medicine Seriesbrings comedians totown. And a new pro-gram called Communi-ty Music Jam is drawingquite the crowd.

Its a free mentor-ship program, Bakersaid. Five local musi-

cians are paid to be

mentors and up to 60 peoplecan come every Monday andlearn a different song.

The Center provides theinstruments. You go to a roomdepending upon your experi-

ence or lack of. At the end ofthe night they all jam togetheron the same song. It is meantfor the under-served, for thosewho had little or no access tothe arts, but Baker admits theoutcome was interesting.

People were actually sneak-ing in even though it was free,she said. We had both theunder-served and people weknew could afford the pro-gram, but we couldnt turn

them away. As it turned out, itwas the best outcome. You hada homeless person sitting nextto a lawyer, both struggling tolearn the same chord on a gui-tar. It was the best sense ofhumanity, putting people on alevel human playing field andexperiencing the joy of makingmusic together. You cant buythat kind of experience.

The Center for the Arts hasbecome the go-to organization

for event production, lendingtheir talents and expertise toother community nonprofits.The Velvet Underground trib-ute show last month was a ben-efit for a local drug abuse treat-

ment center. An upcoming Nir-vana tribute show takes placeon the 20th anniversary of KurtCobains death and will benefita suicide prevention group.

We believe that the artsbuild community, and we canprovide a platform to bringpeople to what they otherwisemight not be exposed to, Bak-er said.

Sixty percent of The Centerfor the Arts revenue comes

from ticket sales and venuerentals; the rest comes frommembership, donations andsponsorships. Membershipstarts at $50 a year andincludes a discount on tickets

for the shows. The $1,000 levelgets reserved seats and otherperks. There are currently 2,000members.

What does the future hold forThe Center? Baker said shehopes to do a capital campaignto improve the existing facility,further the building of educa-tional programs with theschools and see more collabo-ration and shared services withother arts organizations.

You constantly question ifyou are providing value to yourcommunity, Baker said. Everytime you make a decision, youlook at it: Are we providing val-ue? We do bring amazingartists to a small community.

So the countys hub of thearts will continue to spin, itsbearings sound and supportsystem intact. For the 2,000members and community atlarge, thats music to their ears.

that part seemed to fit

that child, (Moore) wouldsay Please meet yournew Robin Hood, or yournew Maid Marian,Vaughn said. All the kidswould clap and just be sohappy for each other. Iwas in complete awe,amazed at the program,and I have been eversince.

No pressure

Mini-musicals do notrequire auditions, but forjunior and main stageproductions each personwill sing 16 bars of a songnot from the show forwhich they are audition-ing, do a cold reading,and a little choreographyto see how well theymove. Though that canbe nerve-wracking,Moore said, its done in a

relaxed manner.Its really fun here,

theres no pressure,Moore said.

With no auditions forthe mini-musicals,Moore watches for thestudents natural charac-teristics coming out, andmatches them with char-acters in the show. Sheloves to do things big, shesaid.

I love over-the-top,Moore said. If its toomuch, Ill let you know,but you really have to do

a lot for me to say holdback.

When she is directingthe mini-musicals Mooreteaches the kids the basictheater steps, such as thejazz square, step-touch,and kick-ball change.

That way as they getolder and they want to trythe junior show or themain stage production,they dont feel so out of

touch with things,Moore said. They cameto audition for the juniorshow, a lot of them didvery well, and I feel like Ihad a big part in that.Because they knew thebasic steps, they went inwith more confidence.

Family and futureWhen attention is paid

to all the right things, it allworks together. For thejunior production Annie,Moore said, the set wasamazing.

The parents offeredtheir volunteer hours,

and so not only did thechildren have somethingto show for their hardwork during rehearsals,

but the volunteers hadsomething to show forthe hard work they put into helping with the setsand costuming.

Being involved in thearts can help children intheir schooling, NancyMcLaughlin said. Musiccorrelates strongly withmath skills, and addingdance and theatre buildsself-confidence and

develops skills that canhelp with many aspectsof life.

Other things do that sports are great, too butmusic is something thatcarries with you through-out your adult life, Nan-cy McLaughlin said. Aslong as you live you canbe involved in music andthe arts.

McLaughlin Studios

has some students whohave continued theireducation in the per-forming arts into college,

and has former studentswho are practicing musi-cians and artists in NewYork and Los Angeles.

Its really exciting tosee people grow, NancyMcLaughlin said. Wealso have parents of stu-dents who come backand their grandchildrenare now taking lessonswith us.

Five years ago SheilaLee of Loomis initiat-ed the annual Red,

White and Blue dance tohonor the armed forcesand those who have putso much into protectingour country and ensuring

our freedom. This yearsdance will be held at theLoomis Veterans Memo-rial Hall on Friday, March14.

I started doing itbecause I was a womanin business and I felt sograteful, Lee said. In somany countries womencant be in business.

Live music with coun-try band Flat Busted will

help give fans and friendsan evening to remember.This years dance is espe-cially poignant as it hon-ors prisoner of war Ser-geant Bowe Bergdahl,who grew up in rural Hai-ley, Idaho.

Bergdahl joined theUnited States Army in2001 and was capturedby the Taliban in

Afghanistan in 2009.

Since then, videos havebeen released showingBergdahl alive, andhis family has beencontinuously activein doing everythingthey know to helpget him released

and returned.On Jan. 29 of this

year, Idaho Sena-tor Jim Rischrequested updat-ed informationfrom the SelectCommittee onIntelligence.The Directorsof Intelligenceassured himthat 24 hours

a day, sevendays a week,there arededicated resourcesto doing everything wecan to bring him home.

Lee said that she hopesthis event will do its partto help get Bergdahlsplight into the public eye.

Many groups arebehind the annual event

including the town of

Loomis, the Chamberof Commerce, and theAmerican Legion. As inprevious years, theSoroptimists will be incharge of the bar, and thePizza Factory will be sell-

ing pizza.

Proceedsfrom drinks,food, andadmission

will benefit

Gold CountryChaplaincy,

which pro-vides spiritual,emotional andmental support

in times of need or crisisto the military, veteransand their families. Thedance will also con-tribute to Sierra CollegesBoots to Books program

that helps veterans suc-

ceed in college.Its really a whole

community event, Leesaid. Most of the busi-nesses in town donate to

the raffle prizes . . . Theraffle is always fun, themusic is good. To me itsthe community comingtogether to say thank youto all of those who haveput their lives on the linefor us.

In past years the dancehas honored the 442ndAsian-American Unitfrom World War II,

Women in the Militaryand Wounded Warriors.Weve honored Pearl

Harbor survivors, Leesaid, and we had PearlHarbor survivors showup!

Soroptimist RhondaMorillas has attended allthe dances and istouched by the wall ofhonor that Lee puts upeach year, a collection of

photos of those who haveserved across the years,all the way from the CivilWar to the present time.

People give her pic-tures of their loved onesthat were veterans,Morillas said. Some aredeceased and some are

still around they mightbe at the dance.

Morillas said that sheenjoys seeing the com-munity come out to

enjoy the dance and hon-or the armed forces.

My husband and myfather, their pictures areboth on the wall, Moril-las said. My dad wasNavy and my husbandArmy.

Commander of theLoomis Post of the Amer-ican Legion, Fuzzy Jarna-gin, has also been in on

the event since the begin-ning. He said that lastyear, after Lee sent acheck to Wounded War-riors from the event, theout-of-state president ofthat organization waspassing through andstopped to say thank you.

They collect a lot ofmoney, but to stop inLoomis for a thousandbucks, that was great,

Jarnagin said. Honestly,(Lee) is the most patrioticwoman that we havearound here. I think whatshes doing is tremen-dous.

CORRESPONDENT

From the fields of Ire-land, to the dyeing ofthe Chicago River

and the bloomingfoothills of the SierraNevada, St. Patricks Dayis celebrated by all people

from all walks of life.What better excuse to puton a green top hat, grab agreen beer, and singalong to your favoriteIrish tune as your buddytries to convince you he isreally Irish?

The focal point of allthese whimsical happen-ings is always at yourlocal bar and/or pub,where you can make a

few hundred morefriends over the course ofthe night.

Many bars pull out allthe stops on this specialday with decorations andspecials. From NevadaCity to Loomis, everyoneis getting in the green-clad spirit.

Here are five that arealready gearing up forthis festive holiday.

Auburn Ale HouseNestled in the heart of

Old Town, the Auburn AleHouse will have a myriadof unique things avail-able through the Friday,Saturday, and Sundaybefore St. Pattys. Addingto their already impres-sive variety of locallymade craft beers, they arebringing out two morespecifically for the holi-

day.Owners Brian and LisaFord have developedtheir own Irish red alecalled McFords,described as having afine malt body with aslight mineral presence; asteady hand of traditionalhops just balances thesweetness out and arepresent in the back-ground.

Theres also a limitedspecial release IrishStout, made with thefinest British grown Chal-lenger and East KentGolding hops which,according to the brewers,are noted for their earthyand spicy aromas. Its alsonitrogenated, which givesit a smooth, creamy tex-ture, thus making it a per-fect pair with beef and

dessert dishes.Speaking of food,

Auburn Ale House is fea-turing their take on theIrish classic: corn beefand cabbage. Backing itup is a Scottish egg as alimited time appetizer,which is made fresh inhouse, and their ownIrish porridge, which islong cut porridge, madewith a shot of Irish mist in

the mix. With the perfectone-two punch of goodfood and great beer, theAuburn Ale House is def-initely a place to checkout this St. Pattys.

World PubRun by a genial gent

named Scott, World Pubis focused on two things:beer and atmosphere. Inregards to the beer, they

have a humongous selec-tion of everything craftbeer enthusiasts canenjoy. Multiple beersfrom companies like Sier-ra Nevada, Stone, LostCoast, and even theaforementioned AuburnAle House litter theirmenu.

I have a lot of the topbeers here, and everyonewants them here, Scott

said. I have a real goodrapport with the indus-try.

He also has a great rap-port with his patrons,most of whom make apoint of saying good-byeto him and give himhandshakes and hugs.

I treat everyone herelike my family, he said,

adding that in 4 yearsin business there has notbeen one fight and he hasnever served any hardstuff in his bar, only beer.

Scott outlined severalspecials he is doing in theweek leading up to St.Pattys. In March he isgetting a batch of Plinythe Younger, a triple IPA

infamous in the beercommunity for beingboth extremely deliciousand very hard to make,thus limited batches areput out at once, and areusually snapped up fasterthan you can flag downyour bartender. OnMarch 9, he is havingStone Brewery do a sam-pling event in celebrationof Sacramento BeerWeek. He will also host apotluck event for the hol-iday.

Country Club SaloonDown in Loomis, theCountry Club Saloon onTaylor Road is gearing upfor the festivities in theirown way. In addition tothe 40 beers they have ontap, they are also offeringhappy hour prices on ahuge selection of drinks,including their modestselection of quality Irishwhiskeys. There will be

two food trucks, BaconMania and Orale Mole,setting up shop to helpkeep the party going aslong as possible.

CoopersA bit further north in

Nevada City, you will findthe brick-laden entranceto a pub called Coopers.This British style pub fea-tures more than 30 beers

The Best Version of You!In just a few short weeks, the grass will begin to sprout under the warmer skies.

Flowers will burst skyward. Spring will be in the air. With every shift of seasonscomes an opportunity to start a new phase of life. At Well Fit Health Club inAuburn, we help you find the best version of you.

Many want to begin to shed the winter coat by losing a couple pounds. Are youlooking to tone or tighten or increase your overall fitness? A more balanced approachto fitness and life can make the fitness journey fun and memorable.

Consider these four tips for a fitter you!

Realize a Little Goes a Long WaysStart with a small, measureable, and achievable movement goal. Say, I am going

to walk an extra 15 minutes each day. By the end of your week, you will have addedmore than an hour of fitness to your week.

Bring a FriendThe best version of you is a fitter and healthier you. Studies show that you are

more inclined to workout longer and more frequent if you have a friend working withyou.

Maximize Micro GoalsAs a runner, sometimes taking it a mile at a time is to much. In working out,

micro goals are also effective. Set small measurable goals. One more repetition. Onemore minute. Link thosesmall goals together and

you will be through theworkout.

Value the ProcessSometimes, working

out causes us to focus onthe fruit or the outcome.The process, the journey,the friends found alongthe way can make eachworkout valued andeffective.

At Well Fit HealthClub, we created a placeof inclusion for people atall levels of fitness. With

personal trainers and physical therapist as owners, we offer a unique approach to a one-stop shop for fitness, increased mobility and function and longevity.

Let Well Fit Health Club be the place where you lose those pesky pounds and gainback the pleasure of your life. Let us lead you to the best version of you.

Point Reyes offers a lookat the great gray whale

BY MATTHEW WHITLEYFOOTHILLS ENTERTAINER CORRESPONDENT

The 300 steps didnt seem atall a problem on the waydown. Now, standing on

the deck of the famous PointReyes Lighthouse, in MarinCounty, 30 miles north of SanFrancisco, I see fins breakingthrough the water.

The worlds largest mammal,the gray whale, is making itsannual pilgrimage from the icycold waters of the Arctic andSouthern Alaska to the warm,shallow seas of Baja, California,traveling more than 6,000 milesround trip, to deliver theirbabies and then bring themback home. The gray whale,also called a baleen whale, cangrow up to 50 feet long, weigh

up 40 tons and can live an aver-age of 55 to 70 years.Here in Northern California,

we can stand on the shores andwatch them as they hug thecoastlines, avoiding the deepwaters that allow Orcas to sep-arate and kill their offspring.The whales travel more than100 miles a day, diving, sky-hopping and breaching theirway through the waters off theCalifornia coast. The south-

ward migration from feeding tobreeding grounds begins inDecember and continuesthrough February. Then theymake their return trip north,calves in tow, from Februarythrough May.

That means many opportu-nities to watch their migration.

From Sir Francis Drake toJohn Carpenter

Rich in history, the regionwas first inhabited by thenative Miwok population, whoeventually found themselvessharing the area with the Span-ish who made their way here inthe late 1500s and early 1600s.As trade boomed betweenMexico and the Philippines,

safe harbors and places to stopwere needed. Sir Francis Drakediscovered the area in 1579.Over time, other explorers fol-lowed and landed in Punto delos Reyes, or Kings Point, as itwas called by Spanish explorerSebastian Vizcaino in 1603.Eventually, the Spanish wouldestablish the San Rafael Mis-sion and the entire series ofmissions along the Californiacoast. Eventually, in 1821, Mex-ico would take control of Cali-

fornia, ending the Spanishreign along the Californiacoast. Mexico would lose theregion to the United States, andthe Gold Rush of 1849 usheredin a new world for California.

Most of the region wouldeventually become ranch landand dairy land, serving theneeds of a booming San Fran-cisco. In the mid-50s, devel-opers began eyeing the regionfor housing, but the NationalPark Service saw the land as

national seashore acquisitionfor a national park. In 1962,President John F. Kennedysigned the bill authorizing theacquisition of 53,000 acres,18,000 of which are still leasedto dairy farmers in a compro-mise that was made to allow

farmers that were there to

remain.For Hollywood buffs, John

Carpenter filmed many scenesof his 1980 horror film, TheFog, in this area, including acouple of the small towns.

Wildlife and one tinyfault line

Point Reyes NationalSeashore is home to a diversearray of wildlife, deer, tule elk,elephant seals, harbor seals,sea lions and more than 500varieties of birds. In the spring,wildflowers cover the hills assuming we get some rainfallthis winter. The park itself hasdifferent topographical areas,including the lighthouse steps,Drakes Beach and ChimneyRock, and with various spots inbetween ranging from theactual beaches to steep moun-tain trails to wooded areas

designed for a variety of differ-ent hikes (more than 150 milesof trails). In addition, there arecampground areas, sea kayak-ing, surfing and horseback rid-ing. Of note: The San AndreasFault runs directly beneathTomales Bay and Point ReyesNational Seashore.

Please remember: Do notapproach the elephant seals.They can be dangerous if pro-voked.

Much of the area is handi-capped-accessible. It can bequite chilly windy and foggyone minute, then gorgeous,clear and sunny the next sopack a good pair of walkingshoes, a sweater and a coat,camera and a big bottle ofwater.

Point Reyes National Parkhas so much to see and do forone area, ranging from hikingto whale watching to exploringthe four nearby small towns(Olema, Bolinas, Inverness andPoint Reyes Station). You canmake it a day trip, camp oreven stay the weekend at anearby B&B, like the PelicanInn, or hit the restaurants ofMarin as you leave town.
